Try updating your firmware to the latest *generic* (genuine unbranded Sony Ericsson) version and using it without the M2 stick. I changed the SanDisk 128 MB with a *Sony* 2 GB card.
I have this phone, it's excellent and runs like a champ!

@Everyone complaining about hangs, crashes and reboots:

I also had these problems the very first time I set this phone up, it started shutting itself down and repeatedly rebooting till it apparently died.
I was able to recovery its functionality thanks to wotanserver.com.

Then I traced the root cause of the problem: it was **the memory card** shipped with the phone, a SanDisk 128 MB.
I took it out of the handset and everything begun working perfectly.

Now I bought another card (Sony M2 2 GB), and except for some minor glitch with transferring files on it across the USB cable, it seems to be fine overall.

I think this model is a bit memory card-intolerant, you all should try using an original Sony M2 stick.

Cheers!

I would NOT recommend this phone. It starts vibrating and then shuts off. Also, it is constantly dropping calls. I had it replaced after two months under warranty. AT&T said it was a software issue. Replacement phone did the same thing. My friend got the same phone and she is having the same problem.

Correction: Z750i has GPS but it is *not* A-GPS...it takes around 5 minutes for a GPS lock and can get down to around 10m accuracy on Google Maps.

The one thing I see missing from all the revues that I have read is the quality of the sound.The primary function of a phone is to make and receive calls and in this regard the fidelity and clarity of the sound is great!

I've had this phone for exactly one year now and it still works great. I've dropped it in the toilet and it still works perfectly fine like normal. But there isn't a TrackID on this thing, or maybe its just I can't find it after looking for 1 year and too bad no flash :(

When the Z750 takes 5 minutes to get a GPS fix, my O2 XDA zest can do it in 3 minutes and do it more often. My t-mobile pulse can do it from 2 seconds( ideal conditions) to 45 seconds(In terrible weather) And has always pinpointed me!

> In reply to zeus @ 2009-12-09 01:55 from 9x48 - click to readIt should show several satellites moving about. Eventually the "searching" should change to "connected". The other blank screen will have a horizontal line across it. If the built in Google maps works, press back and go into google maps. On my phone the google maps crashes out with an error.
Otherwise Minimise the GPS application by pressing button on the left which says "Minim".
This leaves GPS running in the background. Now start running any sat-nav program you have on the phone and it hope it finds the GPS data.
You should be able to download sat-nav programs from the net. And running the program should automatically connect you to the net.
Good luck!

Or, from the main menu choose location services (represented by a satellite), click on status info. And it tries to find your GPS position, here we can move between two screens, one is "current activity" the other is connection status, it shows searching or connected. When connected, minimise this application and load your mapping software. Then HOPE that the navigation software will find the GPS!

Yes! This phone has GPS sensor built in.
But, out of my three GPS phones that i,ve owned the Sony Z750 GPS is the worst!
A GPS lock depends on where you are, indoors, outdoors, under trees, whether you moving or standing still. And most importatantly the atmospheric weather conditions!
Under good! conditions the Z750 can get a GPS lock in about 5 minutes. Under not so good conditions, forget it!
My O2 zest, made by ASUS can get a GPS lock in halve the time, twice as often.
My T-mobile Pulse, made by Huawei, can Get a GPS lock from 2 seconds to 20 seconds in awful weather indoors.

Compared to other phones the Sony GPS is so crap to be almost useless!

> In reply to Stacey @ 2009-11-18 00:32 from k$KR - click to readi agree 100% i havent even had the phone a full year and i had to send it back 4 months after purchasing it for a new one and 2 months after that the one they sent me had the same problems. the phone shuts off at will, freezes up nonstop and then the text messaging just completely stops working. avoid this phone at all costs it is nothing but a headache and i wish i never bought it!
