Hello I am Spanish and I bought a MDA compac III, here has HTC p3300 name.
I buy it in U.K. and i have a proble I can´t connect by wifi.
I am reading about and in a post I read that U.K.´s hasn´t wifi.
Is this true??
What means that?
Can I change that? or is a hardware problem?
Thanks.
OMG, this topic was last discussed a whole 7 posts below yours!
sorry
Sorry but I ´read some and I don´t know if it´s posible to activate changing Rom or is imposible becasuse hasn´t hardware.
I am Spanish and I don´t understand and write so well english.
Sorry.
Hi
Sorry to say that it's a hardware thing, if you want WiFi then you will have to buy a different phone.

I am stationed in Japan and I have been with AU Kddi for approximately 4yrs now. When I heard the announce that they would finally carry a "smart" phone I was excited. I went in and purchased the E30HT if I am not mistaken it is similar to the HTC Touch Pro in the states. My problem is this: Most of the options are in Japanese. I am not familar enough with the language to take advantage of all the phone's features. Is there a way to convert the OS to English or is it a rom or procedure out to convert the phone to English. I appreciate all help given.
HI mate i have smae model please when u find solution please can u shre here> if when i found first i will share here
THANKS
Since I've looked for the same thing, I thought I'll make it easier for other people who got the Japanese version of the Acro S.
According to Docomo, even though it says that the Acro HD is aligable to updadate til 2015 (2015年11月30日まで):

According to this latest post they made on their site, Its not on the list of devices which will get the 4.1:
http://www.nttdocomo.co.jp/info/notice/page/130508_00.html
Sony and Docomo are ****ty companies
After having 3 Sony devices, its time to try another brand... :crying:
PS.
I didn't know where to post this,
If there are some other people sitting on their asses waiting for an official update (like me), they can forget about it. at least here in Japan. Just root your phones and flash something you seem to like - at least you won't get stuck with all the Sony and Docomo bloatwares ! I mean, who needs 3 different Home applications ?!?!
As I understand it, the Acro S will get a JB update, but the Acro HD won't !
EDIT: Added the reply from DOCOMO (06/08/2013) during this time Android 4.3 Has already been released.(for other devices)
woah, thats a serious letdown

I talked with several Docomo employees but they had no idea what's going on, most didn't even notice Sony Ericsson was no longer on the new devices XD
They couldn't help nor answer any of my questions including the managers of the branches I went to.
Yodobashi Camera's Docomo was also not helpul!
I mailed sony, in Japanese of course and I'm waiting for an answer... though I'm sure they will blame it on Docomo, and that they should be in charge of updates.
The costumer service here in Japan is quite good, but if you ignore the fake smiles, and text-book answers, they can't help you much, don't know much, and well... Just doin' their job of taking your money, provided no explanation, knowing very little English to none, and well, being, how do you say this... しつこい。。。
Thats my two-cents on this matter.
When I'll get an official reply from SONY, I'll post it here.
:angel:All HAIL XDA-DEV.!!!
For all the devs. out there, thanks <3

You can, but its not official and I guess you will lose all the 'good' docomo apps. like the e-wallet and InfraRed etc.
why can't we get a normal official update like the rest of the world ... they really expect japanese people to go out and get a new phone every year.
its outrageous !
I think it was the last Sony Ericsson ... well, no more SONY for me...
I've yet to receive a reply from them
they will join my blacklist ... along with HP...

I'll try flashing it next week...
I'm sending another mail to Sony and I'll be waiting for its reply.
The context was this:
"Hello,
I've got a Sony Ericsson Xperia Acro HD SO-03D from Docomo.
I wondered when this device will get a Jelly-Bean 4.1 and above update.
The rest of the world, and the other-than-japan Acro S version, already gotten an official JB update several months ago.
Why is it that a Japanese based company doesn't release updates for the japanese costumers?
Please get back to me.
Respectfully,
XYZ"
EDIT: Sent the same Email to Docomo as well.
I will post the reply as soon as I get one ...
The reply from DOCOMO:
Dear Customer,
Thank you for your inquiry.
This is M. Saito from the docomo Mail Center.
We are very sorry for the trouble, but regarding the Xperia acro HD SO-03D provided by DOCOMO, we have no plans to release an OS version update to Android 4.1.
Regarding the above model, it is not possible to implement an update due to hardware restrictions, etc. We would greatly appreciate your kind understanding.
I am sorry that we were not able to meet your request.
We sincerely look forward to your continued patronage towards DOCOMO.
Sincerely,
M. Saito

Another reply from DOCOMO:
Dear Customer,
Thank you for contacting us again.
This is S. Igarashi from the docomo Mail Center.
As we mentioned in our earlier reply, we do not have any plans to provide an OS version update to Android 4.1 for the Xperia acro HD SO-03D due to hardware restrictions etc. We would appreciate your understanding regarding this.
Furthermore, performing a procedure to “root” the Android OS is not something that is recognized or accepted by DOCOMO.
*”Rooting” a phone refers to the performing of operations that allow unauthorized changes to be made to the phone’s settings by enabling the user to gain administrative rights to which they would not ordinarily have access.
Please understand that DOCOMO does not provide support for “rooting” operations, and if you root the phone under your own responsibility and discretion, DOCOMO’s warranty will be invalid even if the phone malfunctions or is damaged, etc.
We are sorry for not being able to provide you with the answer you were hoping for.
DOCOMO listens to each and every opinion from our customers and will continue to strive to provide better products and services to satisfy our customers’ needs.
We look forward to your continued patronage.
Sincerely,

Sorry but no official 4.1
You'll have to root and update it yourself with a custom ROM ...
there is an official 4.0.4 though ... or at least I think there is .... hehe ...
Hey.
So I got this phone a few weeks ago, it came from a friend of a friend, who had gotten it somewhere probably in Asia. I had been trying hard to root it, which I achieved through many "universal" root apps combined, sorta kinda.
But now I struggle to find matching ROMs. Indeed, as much as I've googled ans searched the name of my phone, nothing but obscure chinese selling websites came out. No trace of it on xda. No trace on any english or french forum as far as I can tell (I'm from France by the way, bonjour!).
So is there a chance some of you might enlighten me regarding ROMs or the phone? It's running on Android 4.4.4
The phone itself is quite decent by the way, at least for the price I paid
Thanks and sorry if my english is not that great!
Dear All,
At the outset, apologies if this request is not in the right thread, however i think it should be, and if not, i am more than happy to get i removed and be moved it to the right one!
I found a brand new sony ericsson w200i phone in my garage and thought of putting it to use. It is locked to the orange network in the UK and I was wondering if any one has the right firmwares and steps to get it unlocked? That's all my request is.
I am more than happy to provide any further details, if required.
Also, I have tried searching on google for over 3 days now however I have not been able to find the firmwares (SEtools and the flash files). I may know the steps a bit as there still exist the videos, however if anyone with right guidance can help, it would be a big favour as I am planning to gift this phone to someone who can not afford a phone.
many thanks in advance!

Wow...
The Sony Ericsson W200i Walkman device is really not a very active device for developments and such.
The following area of the forum is probably your best bet regarding anything for your device.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-mini
Don't worry about the "Xperia Mini" reference because that area basically morphed into a multi device area for the "Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, Active, Ray, Live with Walkman" devices.
Good Luck!
