SonyEricsson W960i Contact or Messaging related problems![]() It was 1 month ago when I had my first brush with the SE W960i’s Messaging problem. As discovered then, the problem is related to the phone’s Contacts. After fiddling with it for a month, I finally found a permanent solution to the problem. First of all, here are the possible symptoms of the Contact/Messaging problem: the message is incomplete and/or Access is denied is displayed on screen and the messages cannot be viewed.The cause of all the above symptoms is you have contacts saved in your SIM card. To fix the problems, remove all contacts from your SIM card and reboot your phone. |
is ur phone an ap phone or original from sony ericsson shop?
Hi jeric, my phone is an original Sony Ericsson phone distributed by Mid Land.
Thank’s a lot for you hint. It worked like a charm
It would have taken me quite some time to figure it out myself
Glad it worked for you coffeeman.
This is exactly the problem that I have been having and it has caused chaos with me having to constantly backup, master reset and restore. I tried upgrading the software online and then gave up and sent it back to Sony who supposedly fixed it with a different software upgrade – but it didn’t work.
I have now deleted my sim contacts and will see what happens.
I will be ecstatic if it works as I otherwise adore the phone and was gutted at the thought of having to get rid of it (although a Sony X1 would be rather nice!)
Thank you! A shame that Sony’s customer services weren’t as knowledgeable.
I hope it works for you too Jane! (fingers crossed)
