What is SEUS? What is SESC?
Code:
SEUS stands for Sony Ericsson Update Service. it's the official program that SE released so their power user can update their phones on their own via internet.

SESC stands for Sony Ericsson Service Center. it's a place where u can ask for their help when u have troubles with ur SE phone.

where:
> means press the joystick to the right
< means press the joystick to the left

a hidden menu will shows up, select service info, then software info...

How To Install Games On Your Sony Erricson
Code:
Applies to most SE phones. Especially the new breeds of walkman phones, and k750i


If u have an infrared, or bluetooth device on your pc, u send the files to your phone and u'll receive it like a sms. (This method if for phones which do not have USB cable to connect to PC, then u have no choice but to do this)


please note: unlike nokia phones, SE or at least most of them, after receiving an installation file through bluetooth or infrared, will prompt u immediately to install it. If u choose no, thinking u'll install it later, well, u cant do that, as the file will be deleted. At the same time, if u click yes, after a successful installation, the file will auto delete itself.


Therefore, if u wanna transfer multiple games to your cellphone via this method, u'll have to do it one at a time.

But the recommended way would be to use a usb cable, and transfer the installation files to your phone. Save it in the folder memorycard(MMSEMC or something equivalent)> media files folder > Other.

Then, use the file manager to access the folder. The installation file will be there. Install, and enjoy.
