thanks rik

hey all

i'm kinda new to this datacable & mobile phone stuff... and yes, i got my t310 this week, and bought a data cable as well. in fact, they gave me a cable for the t610 in the shop, they said it's gonna work just fine. well it didn't.

let me elaborate my problem here, sorry for those who feel bad about these posts

i brought back the cable, plugged it in. Immediately, the USB thing popped up, that something had been found, even though i didn't connect the phone (i have much more experience in digital cameras, with those things only happen if you connect them then turn them on...) Anyway, i installed the driver, installed the SE Image Editor, and i was a happy man.

Right up to the point where i discovered, that the SW says: No T310/blabla found.

Whaddaphukk?!?!

First i thought there was something with the cable. So i took it back, asked the guy about this (he couldn't be of any help, as i imagined) and said they would get me a proper cable. Well, i went to pick it up today, and the SAME FRIKKIN THING happens all the time. The drivers install without any problems, along the software, but my phone just cannot be found. Right now my hands are shaking, and i wanna kill somebody...

Does any of you people know what's up with this?! I thought i could manage solving a problem like this, but there you go.

Oh another thing. There's a little switch on the small box on the cable, and if my phone's plugged into the usb port, and i flip the switch, it starts to charge the phone's battery. Does this mean ANYTHING? I mean, what the hell can be the problem here?! The phone seems to be ok (though one can never be sure, right?), this is now the second cable i'm using (using, pfahhhh), and i'm going slightly mad.

if you have suggestions, please email me, i'll try to check back here as well, but i have no internet connection at home (yet).

thanks, and sorry for the long post, but i hope you understand.

I bought a DC a couple of months ago and the same thing happened to me, the computer didn't find the mobile(t630), so I stopped trying. but now I have found a way so everything works. I use another program than the sony ericsson that comes with the DC. the program i am using is Float's Mobile Agent.

Here you can find it:

Is there any place to buy these data cables NOT online? Like.. is there any store I could go to? Radio Shack? Best buy?

Is the datacable supposed to be so slow? I mean it takes nearly 3-5 minutes to send a game, 1-2 minutes for a theme, and 0.5-1 minute to send a ringtone from the computer to the phone... (T630)

Your data cable maybe is slow becuase of the program you use, or do you have a slow computer? I use Float Mobile Agent to my T630 when I send files to and from my mobile. A theme take about 10-15 seconds for me.

Where to get float mobile agent or what it was called?.. i use sendfile :S

Here you can find the program: http://fma.sourceforge.net/

It's really great... you can do so much with it... even control your computer from the mobile and use the mobile as a mouse.

I had this problem with my t610 until I enabled the correct com port. I think instructions for this were in the SE comms software manual.
