the phone is great the flashcard works fine and the mobile tools work fine as well. i have only one problem. the phone plays videos in mp4 format, so i got mpeg4 direct maker and converted a couple of small videos to mp4 sucessufully. but when i try to play them on the phone i get the message that the file is damaged. i believe its because the files i converted have a higher bitrate that the ones that came with the phone. those had 14.7kbps, and the slower i can convert to is 16. is there anyone who played videos in the E398? if so tell my how please. the files i converted are not corrupted on the computer, i play them perfectly in quicktime

        For loading mp3 files on to the trans flash:

        1) Start up mobile phone tools and connect the phone via USB or bluetooth
        2) Once connection is established, open mobile explorer.
        3) On the phone side of the explorer -> Go to MMC (Removable memory) option)
        4) Select the appropriate directory within trans(/mobile/audio.
        5) Transfer files from PC side to phone side using explorer.

        It takes 4-5 minutes to transfer a 4 MB mp3 to the trans.

        1) Now go to the phone menu-->
        2) Go to audioplayer/sounds
        3) Select Menu -> Switch storage devices ->select trans flash card
        4) The transferred mp3 should figure in your list now.

        A more easier way to transfer mp3 is using SD card adapter and reader.

                      Hi, Im from india
                      I just got my E398 yesterday. I was trying to transfer mp3s from my system, so i installed the mobile tools, then connected my phone. Everything worked fine till i tried to access my mp3's thru the my music tab in the mobile tools and then, the tool showed that the phone wasnt initialised. Tried to set it right by installing the modem software for the other USB ports, but the same problem is opccuring...it instals the modem, but then says the tool(the phone that appears) says that the modem isnt installed!! Has anyone faced this probelm? How do i set it right?

                          xenocrates, i think thats a software prob., u must bring it to the service center to reflash the memory, i had a problem also in software b4 like u if i chose a certain menu, nothing happens and return to previous menu, unfortunately for me this prob. occured on ringtone related menu so i master reset, it get worse, the bass sound is gone so i decided to bring to service center coz motorola here in phils. has a 1 yr warranty on parts and service but i got 2 yrs. XD

                            It's doesn't play AMR. AMR sucks! MP3 is more superior!

                                      hey everyone. i just got the e398 a few weeks ago. all in all a good phone until today. i've encountered a problem with the software (i think). everytime i try to select "new alarm", nothing happens. it just stays there. and when you try to "exit," it won't exit. there's other problems too, but this one is major. i've master reset my phone, but the problem persist. i don't know what to do.
