w810i - voice dialling not working, getting disconnected - help!

[~It_is_Andrew~]

I bought a w810i yesterday, Its my first sony phone.... still have to figure all the things out but i noticed something.

I would like to use the voice dialing feature but after setting up the voice & dialling through voice - it shows "connecting to xyz" then the screen just goes back to main screen nothing happens anymore.

I tried that with the headset & without it also , same thing, tries to connect for 2/3 seconds then vanish.

my firmwire version is R4EA031.

Please help!

It doesn't show 'connecting' in my W710i. When i press and hold volume key, it asks me to say the name and then starts dialling immediately. Try deleting all the voice tags and start again.

Must be some problem with the phone's software. Try flashing it.

thanx for the reply....
I bought this just yesterday & not familiar with flashing, will try soon though
but for now using the updating software from the SE site be a good idea? (some recommend against it i heard)

can there be any problem with the phone's hardware ? i mean to say should i rush to the service center/ shop? ( i would like to use voice dialing)

nobody faced this problem in this model?!

Don't do anything, if you've some data on it then backup (files/contacts etc.) and just do a Master Reset.
