    Anonymous, 19 Dec 2008What is the RMAA test result for Moto Rokr E6 & E8? Whether... morecoreSolo's comment was fair & good with regards to your questions.

    I just wanna add a little of my personal experience with regards to earphone for E8. I found the original (bundled) earphone of E8 selling for approx. USD 25 in my country is nothing to shout about, normal quality but definitely better than some other cheap unbranded ones. I've tried worst ones in the process of searching for a better earphone unit for my E8. I saw a Bose (forgotten to note its model number) unit retailing at USD 90 and was allowed to test it out - the result, worst than the original E8 earphone. Can't believe the quality for that price. Wanted to test the Shure E2C model but the packaging will be spoilt once opened, or maybe that's the excuse the sales rep gave me in order to avoid testing. Also tested Sony's Ex90 retailing at USD 94, quality's surprisingly good, base above average, really clear and sounded not tinny. I ended up purchasing the Sony Ex088, much lower range at about USD 18, clarity very close to EX90, base lose out a little to EX90 so I guess it's value for money for this combinations. Beats out the original E8's earphone as the EX 088 comes with noise cancelling design earbuds, cancelled out maybe 70% (rough guess) of outside noise when fully inserted into our ear canal. (my opinion) So before buying any earphones out there, if you are allow to, do try out the sound quality yourself, price indications can be misleading sometimes and does not represent quality. I believe our personal budget too play a role as if you can spare more money for a pair of earphone, generally you can aim at higher range units. As for me, since my budget for an earphone is around USD 50 or below, my preference to sound quality are midrange and treble clarity (not those sharp pitchy sound though) with bass preference the last, I opted for Sony but that's my personal preference. If you are a bass guy, you need to try out more units to find the ones suitable to your taste. If you read reviews from different websites, you'll find many good quality brands but their prices too are really high. So again test them out before buying, that's the safest way to spend your money.

          Anonymous, 19 Dec 2008What about the Loudness of Speaker in E8?Loudness is subjective. For me, its average, not as loud as stereo speakers of N series. But the sound is not "tinny".

              RMAA test results for E6 are not available as RMAA tests were not common at E6 time. RMAA results E8 can be found here and are one of the best ones.

              Whether the supplied Ear phones is good for E8?

              Supplied earphones for E8 are medicore, to get best out of E8, consider buying atleast EP-630

              ---

              Music Quality is best in E6 or E8?

              Though E6 is not bad, trust me, E8 is one step ahead of E6. E6 music player (and hardware?) is a bit dated...

It's going to be alot of work if you have your own themes and various settings done to your liking. I've done that before, took me a bit of time to re-set them back. Contacts & Calendar are easy though via Restore from Backup in MPT (Motorola Phone Tool)

                          When your E8's connected to your PC via Phone Tool, try to only do what you need to do like sync, transferring files, pictures, video via Phone Tool. The message popped up "your media files are synchronizing. please try again later" indicates that your E8's connected to the phone tool software therefore you can't work on that particular menu you wanted on the phone.

                          If you still can't get it done, go to Moto's Service Centre then.

I transfered all to the music files to the phone memory and nothing changed. And btw, when i select the "shuffle" option, i get the following message: your media files are synchronizing. please try again later.

                            In regards to my microSd being infected, i highly doubt it, cause i have never lend it to anybody and i scanned it some days ago and it was virus free. Maybe it has to do something with synchronizing? I will delete all the music files and will copy them again thru Motorola Phone Tools.

                            Maybe it's a dumb question, but how do i reset the phone? do you mean format it?

                            P.S.: my Moto doesn't haver T-mobile firmware. I bought an unlocked from europe.

                              kilt, 17 Dec 2008i have a problem, so maybe somebody could help me? when ... moreWith regards to your "Refreshing your media list. Please wait..." problem, I have not encountered this problem so far after months using E8 so I agreed with coreSolo's comment, send it back to your authorised Motorola Service Centre for check up. Backing up using Motorola Phone Tool and copy all songs into a separate folder in your PC (so that you can just transfer back later) before doing so is a great idea as they might just do a master reset for you causing all datas and musics stored be erased. Another factor I suspect could cause your problem is virus infection on your Micro Sd card. If you've been using your Micro SD card for transferring files from other PCs besides your own, there's a chance that your card's been infected rendering the stored datas/songs been corrupted. I've experienced the same before (on my other phone) and re-formatting it will solve the problem but, don't save any datas inside the corrupted card at all for re-use purpose. PC's virus infection will not harm your E8's Linux OS due to different platform so don't worry about your E8 got infected.

                              All music/songs stored in your micro SD card are visible in your "All Songs", so as long as you have all these songs copied or backed up in your computer, there's no need to transfer (duplicate) them to your phone as they will use up more disk space in your phone.

                              Good luck.
