I just got my new MOtorola v1050, and the earpiece in the phone does not work. Does anyone know a way to fix the phone? If it is just a software problem and not a result of the phone being dropped somehow while it was shipped? please help

    I tried to install a jar file onto the mobile using the SD card method but when I went to copy and paste the file into the kjava folder it told me that it was write protected. I tried removing the 'read only' check from the box in the folder properties but it still told me the file was write protected. any body any sugggestions?

      Hi Does anyone know what type of charger the v1050 uses? does it use the same charger as a v600 (v620, v60 etc...)? and if not where i can get one?

          I think ot is a nice phone but is made in a rush. The battery lasts for only 2 days. And it has the tendency to make errors that are buging.

                actually, at least on my phone, there isn't java loader in the settings menu.. you can turn it on with programs like p2ktools, but in this way if you do something wrong am don't do some backups you risk to damage your phone... it is possible anyway to load games via usb.. but not officialy, in the sense that at factory settings java loader isn't enabled on this phone..

                    It is very simple to install new games.
                    Just go to the settings menu and after that java uplink.
                    Turn java up loader on and you will be asked to insert cable.
                    After you had inserted the cable use your file management program to up load the jar and jad file.
                    This should do.

                      All the things you have written are all unfortunatly wright...
                      But i have to say that it IS possible to charge phone while you're connected via usb: the cable has to be the motorola one, not a compatible one though.. it's got a little connector on the side..

                        Looks nice on paper.
                        Total crap at use.
                        All the nice features are shadowed even spoiled by its weakness points:
                        - Battery life is very short when you do UMTS calls, surf the web, play MP3s
                        - Comunication: no IR, no Bluetooth, cable no included (bad bad motorola)
                        - Cable does not use the USB power to recharge you battery and it is impossible to use your chager whislt connect with USB cable (which is a piece of crap as the lockers can easily get off their grips).
                        - Less than one month of use I got the withe screen defect. Waited 3 week for repair. The same day of returning, guess what? White screen again...

                          well, to install games throgh usb cable it's a bit more tricky.. i really suggest you get a cheap usb card reader and do the method i told you before.. anyway to put games on fone via usb cable i don't know precisely how to, but if you look in forums dedicated to this phone you'll certainly find the answer!!! the only thing i can tell you is that you will have to go and modify original phone software to do this... bye!

                                  @ curt: it's really strange... this phones works brilliantly in playing mp3's (supports until 256 kbps).. you should be able to apply any mp3 you want like ringtone by going into sounds folder and, once selected the file, by clicking central menu key and then selecting "apply as ringtone".. the only case where you can't select this option is when you are in silent mode.. check it out!

                                    always @ gandalf: Anyway camera is quite bad.. I don't know if you've ever seen the quality of Sharp mobile's cameras.. nothing to do with the one in this phone.. i must say that in daylight the photos are not bad at all.. the real bad thing of it is that with an average light condition, already the background noise is evident.. with poor light you can see mainly a photo full of background noise, not clear at all..
                                    Bt adapter is rubbish.. you can't transfer files with other phones and you can't use the phone as a mobile modem, due to the ridicoulous transfer speed.. u use it only for wireless handhelds, i think...
                                    @alex: the keys background light colour is something like blue/purple

                                      @gandalf: you're right, I was quite imprecise about uploading apps.. anyway this is the procedure:
                                      1)take out the Tflash from your phone and put it into the Sd adapter
                                      2)insert the adapter into a memory card reader
                                      3)in windows, select the card you've inserted in My Computer;
                                      4)you will see 3 folders: audio, video & picture.. now select from the top menu of the window tools=> folder options
                                      5) now select visualization (or something similar) and then untick "hide protected system files"
                                      6) click ok and now you will see that u can see some more folders: the folder you must select is called "kjava"
                                      7)simply drag&drop your own j2me application: more precisely you only need the .jar file(that contains all the data).. the .jad file isn't required
                                      8) switch on the phone. Then go in games=> install new=> and now click on the application you have previously uploaded on the phone
                                      9) follow the indications and enjoy your app on th phone!!! (@ this point you can delete the .jar file on the phone)..
                                      cheers!

                                        Total garbage. How could it lacks Infrared AND bluetooth and does not include data cable in the package AT THE SAME TIME?

                                        So much for connectivity.
