SAM We got two v180 phones for our family plan. Both phones are giving lot of problems within 6 months. One's display stopped working. Other's battery is bad and outside display does not work. Many a times our calls are dropped but that is provider rather than phone.

Sogetsu i have a usb cable from sony digital cam, but i can't find drivers for my mobile . please help.... otherwise very good phone.

Michael With the Voice Dialing set up, each time an address book entry is highlighted, it plays the Voice Entry for that person. How do you prevent that from happening?

John I bought the V180 in November 2004. I have had one replacement phone. The problems I have experienced are: an excessive amount of dropped calls and being unable to get a signal where other phones are working and a message: "Emergency only" displaying on the screen whenever I enter a store. I cannot rely on this phone at all.

badphone7887 We got four v180's when we signed up with Cingular. Since then, we've replaced three, and the fourth one is near death. The screens stop working, it can't get reception, the battery mysteriously dies, it gives massive voice feed back, and the volume fades in and out.
I'VE FILED A FORMAL COMPLAINT TO THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU, AND I RECOMMEND THAT YOU FILE ONE TOO, IF YOU HAVE COMPLAINTS.

mike-e to the solution of keypads not lighting up!!
On select handset models, the keypad back-light operation is light sensitive. There is a light sensor located underneath the bumper next to the key that acts as a switch to turn the keypad lights on. When in an area of adequate light, the keypad will not illuminate to help conserve battery power. When in an area of low light, the sensors will allow for the keypad to illuminate within a few moments of the flip being opened or a key being pressed. This is a part of the phone's design, and cannot be disabled. This function can be demonstrated by placing your hand over the bumper, *, 7, 4, and 1 keys, then pressing any uncovered button several times. This should cause the keypad lights to illuminate regardless of the amount of ambient light.

<unknown> Stay away from this phone! I;ve gone through 2 of them in a year. The first one lasted 5 months and then there was a problem with the screen. I got it replaced but the 2nd one totally died last night. It only worked for 7 months, just after the warranty expired. Now i have to get a new one. Buy this at your own risk.

<unknown> I use to love this phone until it stopped ringing. No, not becasue my friends stopped calling, but because the phone is bunk. Everything works except the ringer! My friends are really pissed at me cuz they think I'm ignoring their calls when really my phone turned into a mute.
