Sony Ericsson W580i Auto Pressing 'ok' and 'menu' keys.

Craig O L

Ok my sony ericsson is acting up on me again. The ok/menu button keeps auto clicking over and over about once a second, holding down the back button stops it but its seriously hard trying to text with my finger on the back button all the time. Its happened before but it just seemed to stop. Tried taking out the battery and sim = nothing.

Any help or tips is appreciated and for anybody who isnt sure what phone im on about its



Cheers.

Have you tried a master reset, as what you're describing may actually be software related? If not, you can do this by going to Settings => General tab => Master reset. Once selected, you'll be prompted for your handset's security code; which is 0000 by default.

Please note, that doing a master reset will delete any contacts, messages, pictures, videos etc on your handset's phone memory. As such, I recommend you save any contacts from your phone to your sim card before carrying out the master reset.

I used to have that phone

Had all sorts of problems, inc similar to what you are saying. Phone shop couldnt provide an answer, sent it away, even replaced it, same probs. Eventually gave up and bpught a new one. As I was I happened to mention it to the sales guy who told me that basically this phone is riddled with software problems, a complete dud phone on Sony Ericssons part, and a general all round failure.

Dont hold your breath for getting a solution!!
