Hi Sai,
I’ve answered your questions in the How do I send downloaded themes to my phone and apply them? FAQ in the Sony Ericsson p1i FAQ.
how can i convert other extension files (e.g. - .nes of nokia games files to sony ericsson p1i format..
how to install software like ( ms-excell, ms-word) in pl1
Hi Srinivasan,
The Sony Ericsson P1i comes with Quickoffice installed on your phone. Quickoffice is a mobile open-source alternative to the Microsoft Office for Mobile suite.
Using Quickword, Quicksheet and Quickpoint within Quickoffice you can open and easily edit Microsoft Office Excel and Word documents as well as Powerpoint presentations. Find out more from Quickoffice for UIQ.
Hi Srinivasan,
At first my response was going to be a major let-down, but, thankfully SomeOne ported Steves ENes for the A920/A925/A1000 emulator to the UIQ platform.
So, yes, you can play .nes game files on your Sony Ericsson P1i by emulating the software with ENes for UIQ
HI thanks for ur responce and can u tell me whether the virus will come to P1I mobiles because am afraid to connect my p1i to pc.
I would be thankfull if explain to me this…

Hi Sai,
The Sony Ericsson P1i runs on Symbian OS, it cannot open *.exe files and as such cannot be infected by traditional Windows viruses. In saying that, in the future there may be viruses in the wild that exploit both Symbian OS and any software on your P1i, for example Quick Office or a utility.
Just like on a computer be careful with what you download and be sensible when installing new applications by backing up your phone.
Hi,
I bought Sony Ericsson P1i day before in Bangalore, India & activated internet service. Now I would like to know how to get GPS on my mobile?? Can I get any software which can be downloaded in PC and installed to Sony Ericsson P1i?? Could you please help me to check whether GPS will work in my mobile or not?? I have verified while purchasing this mobile, it has GPS. But dnt know how to get started??
Hi Guru,
The Sony Ericsson P1i doesn’t have GPS built-in like some other phones on the market, so I’m taking a stab that you have been given a Bluetooth GPS receiver which connects to the Sony Ericsson P1i. Take a look at Does the Sony Ericsson P1i support in-car GPS navigation.
You’ll need to install the software on your computer, then transfer the phone application to your Sony Ericsson P1i. This will then link to your GPS receiver and allow the phone application to provide GPS overlays.
I’m about to buy a GPS receiver for the P1i, I’m getting Garmin Mobile XT!

HI Am getting A warnigna message during the capturing the camera. The message displays” There have problems with the capture”. Can you please explain me why this error or warning messege is coming?
my P1i goes off sometimes and tries to restart, now it cannot even start at all, it keeps restarting
please what can i do as i dont want to loose any data?
thanks
Hi Anoop,
I’ll have to look into it but I’m confident P1i themes are stores in a user-restricted directory in phone memory. Do apply a theme place the *.utz file either in an accessible folder in phone memory or your M2 memory stick.
If the *.utz file is not applying it could be corrupted or built for a previous/future version of UIQ.
Hi Kiran,
I use Bluetooth regularly to transfer files where wireless connectivity is not available (no access point for 801.11B).
What software are you using to manage your computer’s Bluetooth connection, I use Bluesoleil 5, it’s perfect for Windows XP/Vista. I believe you devices must be paired to transfer files, a message is a bit different.
Hi Sai,
I’ve never encountered an error message like that before. Try hard-resetting your phone or taking it to a Sony Ericsson repair shop to get looked at. My initial concern is the onboard camera is damaged, do video-phone calls with the main camera work? It’s worth a try as it will confirm whether this is a software or hardware fault.
Hi Zubby,
Check out My Sony Ericsson P1i will not power on. Try one or more ideas until the issue is solved then let me know which worked!
Hi, just purchased p1i, can you please tell me how to dial a new number by using stylus on touch screen? whenever i wanna make new call i need to do it by pressing on keyboard. Thank you.
Hi i just want to know if there is anyway the extension file .exe can be install into p1i or other way like emulator to install the .exe into p1i.
My point is to install a forex trading platform into p1i but its seems to be impossible. Show me the way….
Hi Rukas,
There is no ‘emulator’ for *.exe applications for the P1i, nor will there ever be. The application would essentially run Windows on your phone, even a Windows Mobile emulator is unrealistic.
I’m confident there are workarounds, you could use your 3G or wireless connection to access the Forex web service (if available) as well as commission a Symbian application which acts as an interface to the Forex platform. Have a look around and let me know how you get on.
Hi Venkat,
I am unaware of any touch dialer applications for the Sony Ericsson P1i, there is huge demand for one though! Take a look at the Sony Ericsson P1i application market, you may be able to purchase a third-party product or motivate another developer to create a touch dialer.
I’m stacked up to my neck with projects but will be looking into developing a free application (with skinning support) so I can have the ‘iPhone experience’… and be lazy by avoiding the keyboard.
Themes??? How can I? I also don find a Themes folder in the card or phone memory… where it put it ??
