Suddenly - and for absolutely no apparent reason - SE Data Suite won't acknowledge my P900, despite the fact that mRouter can "see" the phone and reports it as Connected.....I've uninstalled the whole bloody lot then reinstalled to no avail.

How any company can produce a piece of software that won't work reliably with USB amazes me!! Martin
Posts: n/a Re: P910i problem well, I checked and my laptop recognises the sync station on Com 7, whichdoes not appear to be in use by anything else. I have a query in to the Sony ericsson "customer care" facility. let's see what they have to say! cheers Jon "Chris G." <bloodygreycat@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:42453adc$0$237$edfadb0f@dread11.news.tele.dk. .. > > "Martin" <nospam@nospam.com> wrote in message > news:d21j6o$ned$1@news7.svr.pol.co.uk... >> >> Sound like the phone is not being recognised by Windows via the Sync >> Staion. >> You need to see if the Sync Station com setting is not being used by >> another >> device.

Posts: n/a Re: P910i problem Several more frustrating hours on the phone with the Sony ericsson helplinein South Africa. They claim this is a known Windows XP SP2 firewall problem, but threw up their hands when i said i'd disabled the firewall and that didn't solve the problem. Apparently it has worked for others. They have no further advice except to hire a Windows firewall expert! Any other ideas would be gratefully received.

Posts: n/a Re: P910i problem You need the latest P910i software. It works with the firewall running.Also make sure you have the latest Java runtime loaded. Sony in RSA are useless to say the least!!

Gottalove these helplines... I'd think there's a conflict somewhere, but it's much more likely to be a syncstation that is faulty. Even so, double check the properties that it's looking in the right place (usb), and that the COM port isn't being used by something else. Disabling your onboard serial ports and reinstalling the SE software might at least get it going. -- Alun Bell
