i still use this hp 4.5 years edi.

Overall i am satisfy with it but the things i dont like abt it are short msg memory and the bettery is not good too and the camera capture button is not working properly joystic is working fine

There is a method to edit the msg memory. I did it before but since its quite a long time I cant recall the exact process. Something about using far manager, changing the msg folder then u would have unlimited sms storage. The battery that came with midland is very good.

i thought the joystick is the nightmare? i got a bad experience from k700. so wat ever SE phone with joystick i will keep away.

For me, so far so good. But sometimes it does stuck though.

My current issue with K750i is that it keep shutting off when receiving calls... dunno battery problem or what...

Mine is almost 5yr old now..still going strong despite hang sometimes
Battery can still last 4-5days on minimal usage!

I got the same prob too last time... I send it for repair and end up they change the motherboard...

mine still going strong here. k750i with w800 firmware?

tough phone!

woww.. battery still good enough.. nice, you never change it before?

anyone wan to get a new k750? PM me.

Hello, how much if change the k750i joystick?

Old pic taken back in 2005.



K750i

Afternoon.

Bought in 2005, Sony KLCC.

Still working fine except for the camera.

Camera has failed; the phone hangs when I slide it.
We know how fussy to charge the phone when the socket has worn out.

1st picture (socket)




My charger and usb cable won't work no more to charge the phone.

They work fine, just that the socket on my phone gone kaput.

Is there any other way to charge the phone?

Regards

Evening

Any phone shop sells the cable correct?

How about the power adaptor?

Hi there, sorry to reply and necro the thread.
I just restored my K750i - bought in 2006. 14+ years ago . Was sleeping for 10-11 years (based on last call and SMS records )

How I charge the phone is I use an external battery charger :

There are several variations also. But I chose this only because it can accomodate the largest possible battery.
Works for all handphones with external battery.

I might order a K750i charging and data cable from Shopee.

Hope you are still keeping the phone!

You use the phone for what purpose?

My xperia v died in 2019.

Replace with Xiaomi A3; regret.

Should have bought samsung instead.

If can revive the k750i, nice.

Still have the phone.

But probably need to change the battery that came with the phone.

Hi Raikkonen,
The reason I revive the phone is because of fond memories.
Just imagine the 1GB M2 Memory card still works until today. Photos and videos I take 10 years ago still remain.
Yes I do have 4G smartphones also. Undeniably Samsung is the most reliable followed by Huawei.

I managed to get the battery from a Kelantan seller.

RM 9.80 for a new battery. Cheapest offer I've seen!

Currently I am using Yoodo as the cheapest way to maintain the line (my exisiting line) . Secondly Yoodo supports Call Forwarding - very useful, if someone calls the number and no signal , it will auto forward to another line (must have Call minutes add on)

Only issue is that - the 2G reception is rather weak on Yoodo in this phone. Very sensitive to Indoor reception.

At first I tried with DIGI the 2G signal is stronger. But more expensive if just want to maintain the SIM card.
(They have an option - Reload RM 110, pay RM 108 for 1 year. Just to maintain the line. Not inclusive calls or anything)

Its probably the smallest smartphone (okey, its not Android, but at least it had Java support) .
But think of it: 14 years ago, it was considered a very advance phone.

From 2G to now upcoming 5G. We have come a long way.

If only it has an earphone jack; use computer 🖥️ speaker 🔊 to listen to radio 📻😂

I am using my broken Lenovo A338t for radio 📻.

Hi Raikkonen,
So far I have tested my K750i with a new battery, for a old smartphone , with standby time of 4 days over and still remain 28%, so it does quite well.
I might try buying a signal booster - 5 Pcs from China cost only less than RM 4, to improve reception.

Okey, here is what you are looking for. SE connector convert to earphone jack:

https://shopee.com.my/Sony-Ericsson-Audio-C...9413.8603754024

Thankfully still got sell Sony Ericsson handsfree, which need to import from Indonesia

https://shopee.com.my/Handfree-Sony-Ericsso...0500.7169777466

Sadly, Malaysian seller sells SE Handsfree at exorbitant prices..up to RM 60 even.

There...I've listed several links to help to restore back the good ol' K750i. A classic which needs to be restored.
