    • Hi, by default your phone will work normally with 2G or 3G. Although we setup the Sony Xperia M setting for 2G only or 3G only, the phone should not hang. Try to change the simcard with other working one. You also should consider to do hard reset if the problem still happen.

  • hai guys my xperia m c1904 wen i on my phone it ask security password i want disable it plz tel steps to disable it........

    • Hi, usually if the security password only work when you turn on the phone, then it should be Simcard Pin Lock. Try to remove the SIM card lock by go to Setting Menu > Security > Sim card lock at your Sony Xperia M. You will have to deactivate the SIM card lock protection at this locations. Sim card lock is different with screen security protection. The screen security protection will active anytime (depend on how long time the screen lock will active) when we wake up or open the screen.

  • My sony xperia m c2005 asked me to type password to decrypt storage wich I never set it before .

    • Hi, as far as we know, Sony Xperia M phone does not have any default encryption options. Maybe you have been installing 3th party applications to encrypt the storage for security reasons.

You can choose 2 ways to hard reset, using hardware button key at #Option 3 or using PC Companion with computer with Microsoft Windows operaing system like #Option 4 above.

        • Hi, please make sure your computer with MS Windows operating system already installed, otherwise, you should download Sony Xperia Driver, please find your Sony Xperia M driver at Sony Official website, after that please try again to connect your phone after PC Companion give info to connect.
