When ever I try to send a email or text msg, the phone dies, it goes completly off and I have to power it back again and when I do, and as soon as I hit the send key boom its off again!!
Isnt that weird as hell??

Is it when you send any SMS or when you reply? My friend had this happen to him when he was using his older 8890. His was a firmware issue...I haven't had this happen to my with my SL55...

I don't have that issue nor have I heard of it until now... I have a freezing problem when sending or recieving a new sms message. I am sure it's a firmware problem and an upgrade will correct it. Hopefully an upgrade will correct the problem you are having.

is there a upgrade available for it?? if yes where???

Posted by: Silje

Firmware 09 is available for download from my-siemens

You will need a datacable.

thanks, but can it be done through infa red???

Hi,

as i wrote, you will need a datacable to perform the upgrade.

You cannot do it by IrDA because during the upgrade you will need to turn off your phone, then the IrDA connection will of corse be shut off.

Where can I buy a serial or USB cable locally??? I can't seem to find one here in the USA!! I tried at&t since they sell some siemens phone and I bought a car charger from them that actually works fine but as for the upgrade the software requires the cable to upgrade the phone, Thanks again!!

I even upgraded the FW, but to no avail. My phone utters a little death cry, then completely shuts off. I using Cingular here in CA. You? I hate to say this, I am kinda glad someone else has this problem. That means it may be solved somehow.

send it back to the factory to get it repair

And will they even fix it, considering it's not even released here in the us?

Posted by: junyadee

I bought mine used from a guy eBay and he bought it from some one else too but other than the fact that I can't send any text or email the phone works quite fine...

Are you saying that even after you upgraded to the v09 firmware the phone still dies when trying to send the SMS??? I don't want to have to send this thing in for repair all the way to Germany and it gets lost in the mail because the mail says I can't insure it or have signature confirmation even though I never tried UPS or Fedex!!!

Yup, I hate to break it to you...but we're both screwed. I upgraded the firmware, and the phone still freezes....do you get the same thing...the emmits a little sound and then shuts off. I will keep you informed if I ever fix it, and please do the same
