W810i Problems

[Pete872]

I have just recieved a SE W810i on 02 contract (a week ago), The problem is it is forever displaying "no network coverage" and "emergency calls only" even when I have full signal strength, it's only very occasionally it actually displays what it should ie: "02 uk"

Also the battery strength is extremely poor as i'm having to recharge it daily and that's with minimal use.

Are these common problems with the W810i or do I just have a dodgy phone?

I have been on 02 PAYG for the past few years and to be honest the reason I went for an 02 contract was because the signal is so good.

As i'm still in my 1st 14days of the contract should I just replace the phone like for like?

Thanks,

Pete.

Yes definitely. Only thing you can do for a defective handset is replace it:)

Get a swap - but found the battery life is generally poorer than K750/w800/w700 for some reason ? !

Maybe firmware?

My friend had the exact same problem.
The guys at SE said the main board was dodgey and they replaced the whole phone unit for him.

Just take it back and get a replacement.
Make sure it gets a full charge as well!!
