Just bought a T280 today and I have some problems:

1. I cannot install any themes.

I tried these two:

http://forums.se-nse.net/index.php?autocom...=ss&id=1298

None did work. It says: "File type not supported by phone."

2. I wonder how could I put my own sounds for messages and alarm (because only the phone's sounds work).

3. Also how could I set the camera not to make a sound, or change the sound (I didn't find that option either).

I know that this can be done with several programs, XS++ being one of them, but still I would need a guide on what to erase, what to modify, etc. I hope that somebody can help.

Before I had a SE k510i which was more than enough for me. Now I got this one (I have a money problem and had to buy a cheap phone ) because it was almost the same (except k510i had a 28MB memory and... more customizing option it seems). That k510i crashed. It won't start, I tried, a friend tried (he kept it to try a test point or something, but it just won't read the gdfs), I took it to a phone repairing shop too, the guy said that this problem is a rare one, but happens.
Anyway, I could open another topic if someone thinks he could help me fix the k510i somehow. I will tell you than what errors I get when trying to access it with SeTool.


Thanks in advance!

My mom got the T280 too, I suspect it to be a S1 phone so no modding whatsoever

Buut... modding should be possible with XS, right? Or a similar program...

Nope, only with a paid service (DaVinci Team), and that only implies debranding, and maybe unlocking

Nope, those programmes only support Sony Ericsson plattforms.
S1 is a Texas Instrument chip, the phone is built by Sagem.

Well... t280 is a Sony Ericsson
And why would it need unlocking or debranding? I remember removing the camera sound for my k510i with XS without unlocking or debranding.

If you don't need it, don't use the paid services

I can't use the paid services since I have no "digital money". I preferred the cheaper customization methods (which I tried in the past and they worked).

So there is nothing possible that can be done with XS on this phone? Anything at all?

I'm sorry to say, but no, nothing can be modded on these phones. Blame for their cooperation with Sagem

Oh crap. I must open the k510 topic as soon as I get the data cable back from where I stashed it. Maybe something can be done with that one to work.

Thanks for your answers.

Sorry to have given you bad news . Good luck with the K510

Thanks.

If I install the SE k510i cd could it work to connect my t280 through usb?

I highly doubt it. I cant even find a pc suite for that phone

Dang... I guess this can be closed now.

Thanks for all the answers.

Though my phone explorer might find the phone via bluetooth

MyPhoneExplorer says "Phone could not be identified". What to do?

Then it wont work with myphoneexplorer, so I would say give it up as a bad job

I'm giving up modding this phone. I only need it for calling and books anyway

Thanks for all your time!

My mum has the same phone, and she uses it for the exact same reasons
