Hi,
I have a C510 Sony Ericsson Phone. I bought is about 7-8 months ago. Recenly it has started behaving a little weird. I couldn't figure out if it is a software problem or hardware problem. Some of the problems it is showing are:
This is what I did to fix it:
The phone got a little (very little) faster, But No significant improvement. This tells me that the problem is not software related. There is some problem in the hardware. Let me know what to do.
Today It showed a new problem: "While searching in the phone book If I have to look for a name say "Prashant", and to start with I press key '7' to type 'P', it types direclty the third letter on key '7' that is 'R'. And the name starting with 'R' show up. The same thing happened with every key (1 to 9). " I restarted the phone and it got back to normal.
This is getting irritating. Tell me what can I do.
This is a software related problem and you will need to download Sony Ericsson Update Service in order to fix the phone.
That's the next thing to do on my list. But wanted to check with Sony Ericsson Support services first... I'll get back to you soon..
Thanks for the reply...
I tried to do that. After installing the application I tried to connect the phone, following the instructions. But the "connect" step says that "The phone couldn't be identified."
What now?

Make sure you take the battery out before you try again. Try a different USB port make sure you are firmly holding c for a few seconds then insert the USB cable and keep holding till it states otherwise.
I did that many times.. I completed all 5 steps. A message "Release The C button" Flashed. Then it was doing "Synchonizing" and a messaged popped up "Coudln't identify the phone".
