Today was a pretty crap day wrt phone troubleshooting. The loop CC told me to check out the phone at the service center and the loop gallery after that.
First i went to the dealer to ask him if he heard of any such issue. He refused to comment but simply said try going to the gallery and changing the sim, sometimes that works.
I went to the gallery and he also said no guarantee but we can try changing the sim because my sim is old (3-4 years). But he wanted all proofs which i didn't carry with me, so i'll go tomorrow.
Then i went to the SE service center, Kaiser Telecom in vashi, where i nearly got a heart attack. He said it doesn't seem like a faulty unit because the signal is fine outdoors, but even he was surprised that my t610 is working fine in the same condition. Here's the heart attack bit, when i asked him if there were any similar complaints, he said no, but there are many other complaints, mostly of the display strip. I asked him how many and he said 150! That's one hundred fifty zylos in his service center. I thought he was exaggerating the number but he seemed serious. Then i asked how long is the problem, and he said the company hasn't been supplying parts like the strip for almost one month. Now i'm afraid to open the slide on my phone.

    abhi, 05 Jan 2011When i did't have zylo i was having naite & was using it with RELIANCE sim . It used to sh... moreFrom 2003-06 i used a T100 which wasn't very good in network or battery. After that, the last 4-5 years that i used my t610, i found that it was better than the t100 in network but worse than all other phones which my friends had like nokias etc. On the same provider as me, they had good signal on their phones at the same locations. But i saw that the k750/w800 series onwards had awesome network and battery life. So naturally, i'm really shocked that my zylo is performing worse than my t610 which was one of the worst reception phones i've used. And i've used my same sim in my friend's 5800xm for about a week and found it much better than the t610. i hated the resistive touchscreen though and couldn't wait to give it back to him.

Compare to my other ph from SE (k810, k660, w810, k530 etc) or my BBs or Nokia(s), Hazel is the worst in reception quality. But doesn't mean it's the worst in making a call. I'm using the best carrier regarding signal quality, even when the signal indicator only 1 bar left and the bar color turned yellow, I still can make or receive a call without any degradation in call quality. Yes in some occasions it's dead (emergency call only) while the others still 'alive' so I couldn't make a call at a moment.

                          Got the phone since early june, have never found the phone freezing though sometime it's a bit slow

                              It's not that everyone is facing this problem , some people r saying that signal reception in their yari is great but it's a more comman problem encountered by many people in yari.

                                It's a bit present in elm after the software update for some people.
                                Check out if other people in ur college with same network carrier as ur's r having signal problem or not. If they have than it's a network problem not phone related , so i would suggest u to stick with ur yari .
                                Zylo is also great without any signal reception problem.
                                Have u noticed it - only julian is having problem with zylo's signal , no one other has faced any kinda problem like that.
                                U can go for either hazel or zylo.

                                      to@abhi,@Suhail np,@any people that may share opinions & ideas;
                                      i have yari & have used it since december 2009. my previous phone was se k610i.. since the 1st tym i used se, i love it so much.. i used k610i for 4 years before it malfunctions.. my bro gave me nok n73, but i gave it to my dad(bcoz of very low earpiece volume) & bought my yari.. i love yari very much. it worked perfectly & honestly i've never had any hanging or software problem. but since i move into my college, i could hardly find signal here. it fluctuates greatly though after upgrading to the latest firmware.. it can only got 1@2 bars in my class and hostel,& sometimes no signal at all. i've been searching for se phones until i decided to go for hazel, but after dat there are also people complaining about signal.. then i joined zylo discussion board.. now, there are also people talking about signal. i know dat the location of the antenna is at the bottom.. hazel will cost me higher because of the specs(wifi gps), but i dont really need them.. all i want is great signal strength, loud & great music player through headphones n external speaker, loud earpiece volume. but my family told to stick with yari bcos the latest se phone basically have the same signal strength.. so guys, is it recommendable if i bought my zylo to change it with my yari only bcoz of atronger signal??
                                      or shud i stick to my beloved yari?? thanx sooo much
