Question
Hey there and thanx for your time... My w850i sony ericsson cell phones keeps having colour flashes and scroll bars and or loading bars are sometimes doubled or just placed on a place other than it's proper place... What's the problem? It started doing this now recently... Had the phone for 3years... I got a firmware update for it, still couldn't fix the error... Please help... Thanks a lot

Answer
As much as you probably don't want to hear this, but it's time to get a new phone. When this type of thing starts happening, it is typically the screen display going bad. Eventually, you will have nothing on your screen at all. Three years is a nice long time for a phone. I would strongly recommend getting a new one, if I were you. A firmware update won't help. This is all about the display. I hope this helps. Thanks. DebiN
