    w810i won't take pictures most of the time

    I'm generally happy with my SE w810i but more often than not it refuses to take pictures. It will just beep and show the green circle in the corner (I'm not sure what this means) when I hold the shutter down half way, then just return to the viewfinder when I push it down all the way - instead of taking the photo.

    Anyone else had this problem or know what to do?

    weird. not heard of this before.

    The beep and green circle is to tell you it has focussed etc.

    Have you tried updating the firmware on the phone yet. Always worth a try when you have problems with any SE phone. Use the USB cable that came with the phone along with the Update Service from sonyericsson.co.uk

    Thanks for the reply.

    Someone on expansys.com's forums said it may be a rubber grommit inside the phone that has become dislodged and i should get it repaired. So I shall!
