the white screen problem happens in most sony ericsson phones, and w550s are having the most of the cases. the phone hangs up and then restarts with a white screen. there is nothing on the screen. it can be said that a w550 is dead if it has the white screen problem. the software version R4AB048 (the first software of w550) is the most affected. other software versions are somehow not too affected.
to avoid this, please read my past message.
i want to know about white screen .
what is white screen and how i save my mobile
for it
some tips to avoid the white screen:
-CHECK for updates monthly.
-do NOT use the disc2phone pc software.
-do NOT install java apps from unknown/unpopular developers.
-if your phone hangs up and then restarts to standby automatically, you MUST restart it again. turn it off and let it REST for a while.
-let the phone to have AT LEAST 30MB memory space. do not wait for it to ask you to delete some files, if the memory is already full.
-if your phone has the white screen, please bring your phone to an AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER. some unauthorized service centers install a firmware which is not developed by sony ericsson (a firmware which is from other developers; it might damage your phone).
there's no way to extend the video length.. it depends upon the free memory space of your phone..

Finaly....i saw the 'screen of death'just now......
hey... i was wondering what the "white screen of death" is... i am getting this w550 tomorrow... i would very much appriciate if i get an e-mail... cheers :-)
if you have questions about w550, you can email me at jmg_32188@yahoo.com.ph.
in order to avoid the white screen, you must download the latest firmware via gprs. do it as soon as possible. if you have w550 newly purchased, update it immediately. the update service is located in the settings menu. that is the only solution to make your w550 enjoyable.
i used this mobile for 5 months...durin that it got struck twice...d white screen...its heck usin ...but the music is truly good...now i am gonnna buy k 750i ...think twice guys
Hi - I have been using Sony mobiles since a long time and this Walkman phone is amazingly good with cool sound controls.. but i feel the camera could have been better!!!!!!
If any body wants to buy this phone then first go through the details review in http://www.mobique.com/sonyericsson/w550/page1.php.........u will have the most organised details review of this phone. In India, particularly in Kolkata, this fone costs around Rs.12,300/12,400........I dont have the fone. I am presently having N3230 but surely after going through the review of SE W550i, I am amazed.......i must have it.The above mentioned site has 9-page wide review with many screenshots, videos..........read it before buy.....
And last of all, if anyone wish to buy a music-phone, just go for W550i......it is gorgeous...!!!!
