Sony Ericsson Z500a problems
I've been having some strange problems with my Z500a phone. The biggest and annoying problem I have is what it does when you try to make a call. When you click the send button it says that its connecting, that lasts about 5 seconds and then it goes back to its default screen with no explanation of what happened. All the other phones I've had in the past that couldn't connect a call would say something like "network busy" or some other thing. Sometimes this happens two or three times in a row. I thought I was the only one having this problem until I spoke with a lady from work today who has this exact phone and she said she has the same problem with it.

the Z500 is WAY better than a V220. i don't know what would cause that problem off hand. how often do you power cycle the phone? have you tried pulling the battery and putting it back in? if the problem wasn't there when you got it, and just started recently, i would think about filing a warranty claim and getting a replacement. how long have you had the phone as well? you could always change to a different phone if it's withing 30 days.

Well it happened a couple of times during the first thirty days but I didn't really think anything about it because I just thought it might have been something I did, like accidentally hitting cancel or something. But the problem really got noticeable and kept getting worse and worse and recently its been really bad. I am really frustrated with this phone and have been inclined to go back with my GAIT phone for now. I will probably go ahead and get me another phone eventually. Any suggestions? I hear people blasting the V220 but I never really had any problems with it. I had the V220 prior to this one but gave it to my dad to get this phone. Only complaint I had about it was the battery life was HORRIBLE.

your no help g-rad. I have personally sold tons of this phone, not many problems, but there were some. I'd recommend you call the warranty center and get yourself a replacement phone. 800-801-1101

I have this phone and have the exact same problem...sometimes have to redial 4 times to get through because it doesn't connect for some reason. Also latley I noticed a few calls go straigt to voice mail when I have a full signal, doesn't even show a Missed call. That and the battery life is teeeeeeeeerible. Worst battery life of any cell phone I ever had in my life! I can't wait till some coll PTT phones come out. I guess I want everything...but I want a decent phone with at least a 1.3mp camera, ptt, and a mp3 player/radio....cingular is this to much to ask?
