Sony Ericsson K800i Help

[exeterseagull]

One for all of you phone savvy guys....

My girlfriend has a Sony Ericsson K800i on the O2 network. In the past couple of weeks she has had a new icon appear in the top left hand corner of her screen (where the battery power meter is etc). It's a blue circular icon..I have the same phone but am on a different network. I have checked my manual and it appears to indicate that a 3G UMTS network is available.

Have looked all over the place on her phone trying to find out if there is anything obvious but can find nothing....

Whilst she is at work, I foolishly offered to find out how (or if) she could get rid of it as we have no idea how this appeared of why it appeared in the first place.

Has anyone else experienced / seen the same or knows how to rid the phone of it...

appreciate your help.....

It's a gaydar indicator (lesbian version).

Turn it off and on?

i have the k770i and i get the blue ovals too - i also get a red phone with an arrow bouncing off it (looks like call barring) but it isn't barring any calls.

i can only asume these 2 ghost symbols are a product of the phone being a bit shite.

Have you not answered you own question then

Surely to try and turn it off would be like trying to turn off the indicator that shows you have a normal signal

I get that blue thing on mine, f*** knows what it is.

it means you are in a 3g area no way really of getting rid though. Means web browsing is all fast when that is on the screen. You may need a 3g sin for it to work though. You can also make video calls when it shows too.

the red phone with arrows i belive is when you are trying to send somthing via the infa red port, i may be wrong though.

Give me her mobile phone number and I'll see what I can find out.

From the INTERWEB...

thats 3g mate and yes you can turn it off go into CONECTIVITY in SETTINGS and go down to MOBILE NETOWRKS then down to GSM/3G NETWORKS click on that then they will be two options GSM AND 3G or GSM ONLY click on the GSM ONLY one... hope this helps

Forget all that! You only went on your first date, like a few days ago, and now you're on here calling her your gf!

Typical man missing out half the details! Guess the date went well then?
