Sony Ericsson T637
Encryption Turned off and Auto Time Zone??????????
Since a few weeks ago my phone constantly asks me to confirm that it has a new time zone, even though I am in the same one. I turned auto time zone off, but would like to have that feature on. It is as if every time my phone drops in/out of service it resets the time zone. Anybody know why it started doing this randomly?
Also around the same time, when I connect to a phone call, there is a "ding" bell sound and on the screen it says "Encryption turned off" and then a small triangle with a ! in the middle is at the top of the screen for the duration of the call. Anybody know what this is?
Any help is much appreciated. I love this phone, just don't know why it started doing this.
thanks

I just bought the 637. Within a day after purchasing the phone (AT&T), during 2 phone calls I was dropped approximately 8 times. Two of those 8 times it said something about encryption?? I'm not sure what that means...can anyone help?

I thought I'd bump this up
Does anyone know about this? I got my phone yesterday and am having the same issue as the poster above, even when the signal bar shows 4 bars?? I also have AT&T

The reason why this happens, is that AT&T has an encrypted cell phone etwork. Even my old t68m phone did that.
From what I can gather, if you have a bad signal, the phone tries to turn the encryption off to keep the call "alive". If you wait for a little, the call sometimes will still be active.
Even with the 4 bars, you still don't have a full signal. My phone lies to me all of the time. I get dropped calls with full signals.
It's not the phones fault though, it's the service you're getting combined with AT&T's GSM encrypted network.
To sum up, it's because you have a bad signal, and the phone is trying to keep the call alive.
