sounds like your EF81 need a FW update.
do it and i think it'll solve it.
the best, people said, is FW58.

search for Brew Mobile Commander, download it and connect your EF81 with the BMC running and install any Java apps with it.
make sure you have both .jar and .jad files.
good luck.

This has to be the worse phone ever. I cannot believe I left my trusty old Nokia 6131 for this. Firstly, it is huge, the hinge feels cheap and the keypad rattles. The materials flaked off after about 2 weeks. Metal? Yes, I suppose it is, but the edges are so square that you actually hurt your ear holding the phone to speak into it. The media/mp3 player is slow and basic, and the less said about the camera the better "click" goes your photo.... wait... wait..... 5 seconds later "Save image...?" ok "Yes" wait ..... wait...... 5 seconds later....."saved to My photos"...... Zzzzzzzzzzzz.... Battery life is a joke. Clarity is TERRIBLE, when I talk to my wife it sounds like she's in a snow-storm, when really she's sat at home in a quiet room.
The menu's are SLOW (and yes I am using fw58...) and frustrating. There is such a delay between pressing a button and seeing something happening. Texting is annoying because the letters are HUGE, like this phone was designed for a 6 year old, and don't get too far into a message because it'll interupt you with "message too long for SMS, switch to MMS instead?" NO I DON'T WANT TO SWITCH TO MMS!!!!!!!!
Please avoid this phone. I know it is over a year old, but it really isn't worth bothering with. A mid-range Nokia/Samsung/Sony will serve you much better, really.
To all the people giving this phone good reviews, I can only assume that you're defending your purchase even though you know you've bought a notoriously bad piece of kit.
I guess the people that like it are in some former Russian republic or Malaysia or Nigeria or somewhere you can't get decent phones..... AVOID AVOID AVOID.
Now, to try and find what drawer I put that old 6131 in.......

Sorry for all the mistakes on the first post and this one to.
So I have 2 working sim card tested in my blackberry.
Im my EF81 with FW48 all works ok if I update to FW58 the phone will stay on if there is no sim card in it. When I put a sim card in it will turn off after 5 sec all the time.
If I plug the phone in then it will stay on also.
That sums it up.
Any ideas?

I have the phone and like it I can't get the FW58 running on it thow.
I install it and then the phone will turn on for 5 seconds and the off and if I plug the phone in it stays on and if I take out the sim card it stays on also it's as soon that there is a sim card in it and I have 2 working card tested in my blackberry and they both work.
Went back to FW48 and now all works ok.
Help.
Thanks.

Okay, don't bother with that FW 48. Go to www.gsmmulti-fund.de and register. You can get FW 58 from there.
Its Unofficial but is much better than 48.
Also a rumor about FW 60/62 has sufaced but it is very likely a false lead. You need to register on a Croatian website and pay a subscription to download the "newest" FW.
