My "new" used W385 will not show EVDO.My other VZW phones do show EVDO.I'm in NYC so EVDO coverage not an issue.Have tried in various parts of the city. Same results.Have rebooted. Removed battery. And reset phone. No difference.Any suggestions on what to try next? Also, what is latest software for this unit? The good news is the RF is even better than my formerly trusty e815.

My phone keeps flashing the M and the white screen repeatedly. does anyone know what might be causing this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy W385 went through a rough patch. Anyway, I flashed the firmware to it (it was displaying "init usb_bootloader" prior to the flash). Now it displays "needs initial programming" after it boots. My local Verizon "Store" said it could not be restored.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI just got a new Motorola W385 from US Cellular. I can not get P2K Commander version 6.0.0 to recognize the phone. I have installed the Handset USB Drivers from the Motorola website and set the software to use the correct COM port. If the Mode is set to P2K/P2K05, when the software starts it says that the phone is Linux based and wants to change the mode to P2K05 over USBLAN. This has not corrected the problem. I have tried all three options under P2K Tuning. Do I need a different version of P2K Commander or a different driver? I saw that the instructions called for version 4.9.C of P2K Commander but I was not able to find a downloadable copy of that version.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI purchased a w385 on ebay. When I received it I tested it and the keypad worked, as well as the camera and all the menus.I then proceeded to activate it on Page Plus Cellular. Customer Service rep asked me to press *22890 for the OTA reprogramming and after that sequence/process the keypad stopped working correctly.
After that when I open the flip phone it automatically dials *, sometimes I can dial one or two numbers and then it stops. But the majority of the time none of the numbers, nor the clear, camera, send or menu buttons work.I can still receive calls.To try to fix it I flashed to the latest firmware version (.18). No improvement so then back to the one that was on the phone (.16). Still no improvement.Are there any suggestions to try to have the phone work correctly?
I have a motorola W385 phone. I've always used XP and P2k Commander 6.0.0 to change ringtones and wallpaper images.
I've since upgraded to windows 7 and I can't figure out what to do now to accomplish these tasks. I have installed the latest MotoDev drivers 4.2.4 I believe, I have installed p2k 6.0.0 But the software just will NOT recognize the phone. It shows up as a modem on com6... as soon as I set the program to com6, the modem disappears from device manager.
I've done this 4 or 5 times in the past using XP and I'm just wondering if anybody has had success with Windows 7 and what software they used to do it?
Really I just want to change the wallpaper and I'm not sure how to send a text message to the phone with an image attached using Windows Messenger (if that's possible)
I did find a computer with XP, but for some reason P2k Commander does the same thing, as soon as you select the appropriate COM PORT, the motorola modem driver disappears from device manager. This software seems REALLY touchy and I just don't know what to try next. I've tried many versions of P2k as well without success.
I just received a Motorola w385 from Page Plus and when I try to check my text messages, I get an error that says "Inbox requires Setup." and then forces me to exit.I've tried calling Page Plus but their CS is overloaded. Any ideas how to fix this?
View 4 Replies View RelatedMy W385 requires a BT50 battery. The Motorola replacement battery is $25, and is rated at 850 mAh. There are aftermarket batteries available at 1/3 the price, but although it is referred to as a BT50 replacement, it is rated at 1,000 mAh. Is the difference in ratings a problem?

When I open the phone it automatically answers the call. I want to change it so I can open the phone and then push "any button" before answering. I thought I read it in the users manual but now I can't find it.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI wrote a post here before realizing that the thread trail (Home -> Forum -> Canadian Carrier Discussion -> TELUS Mobility -> CDMA Network and Devices) was pretty narrow, and the thread itself seemed bloated.So I moved it here. I've done a bit of the "intro" stuff: up/down-loaded pictures/ringtones and changed the cover display, so i'm pretty familiar with p2k Commander. But, like some other folks (and as i say in my post) i found either myself incompetent or the software lacking. Regardless, I've experienced some success with this direction so i think i'm gonna take it as far as i can.

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy friend SWIM has a Straight Talk Moto W385 and he wants to change the clock to 24hr time format.SWIM is using PST. After starting PST, SWIM creates a new "feature file" and reads the data from his W385 handset. SWIM changes the clock format setting to 24hr and saves the file. Then SWIM tries to write the data back to his handset, but PST prompts SWIM for a subsidy unlock code.
SWIM has no idea what his subsidy unlock code is, nor does he know how/where to find it.How can SWIM either:
A). Get the magic code to finish this process via PST?
B). Make the 24hr format change using another method?
I am totally new with Windows Mobile.Bought a used Touch Pro Sprint on ebay 2 weeks ago. I have been able to use the wifi on it to read email and browse internet at home. Yesterday, I was able to set it up on boostmobile to swapping it with my newly activated sanyo mirro through the boostmobile CS. The phone call and EVDO web immediately worked on the Touch Pro.After that, I installed the AL_CommManager_Suite_with_WifiSharing_1_1.CAB - the htc wifi router. Then my laptop was able to use the TouchPro as a router to connect to internet. Speedtest was around 700kbps down and 150kbps up.
After that, I reverted my laptop back to use my home broadband, and did not use the touch pro for an hour or so. I don't recall doing anything to the Touch Pro in between. But then, I found out my Touch Pro cannot connect to internet through EVDO any more. I thought this may be a problem with boostmobile side, and was planning to call the CS to find out. But then I found the wifi connection does not work either.I uninstalled the AL comm_manager suite. But the problem still exists.
So I checked the wifi more carefully. TouchPro shows it is connected to my home wifi. My home router also shows that it detects the TouchPro, but did not assign an IP address for it. Since I did not change my router settings, so it means probabaly TouchPro DHCP client is not working.I also found out Touch Pro can still get emails and sync weather when connected to my laptop with activesync, but the web browser does not work still.I guess, if I could fix the wifi problem, then the EVDO problem may also be fixed. They could be caused by the same thing.
Okay ive got the Lg Rhythm and noticed that it is in evdo mode which drains the battery like crazy. i tried looking in the secret menu and didnt find any setting to turn it from evdo to 1x.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have discovered that some of my text messages are not being sent or received. Every text shows that it sends and shows a time within a few seconds. I would say I am 90% working fine, but important texts are falling through the cracks.Text messages I send with more than 160 characters auto blend into one message natively. Recipients are only receiving part #2.They never have received the first part on dozens of tries. Always the case from home and work. I'm connected to wifi at home and work. Oddly enough, I was able to disconnect from wifi and was able to send both parts of sms messages 4 out of 5 times. When i connected back to wifi, still only the 2nd part of the sms.A few of the regular sms messages that I confirmed didn't go through were more than 100 characters, but less than 160. So far, every small or low character count message has worked.
Didn't receive a couple of texts that I was able to verify were 100+ character texts. eems to be a larger message problem, but every picture I have sent has successfully gone through.Installed Go SMS tonight. Still had the issue when sending multipart texts that only text #2 came through.I spent quite a bit of time on the phone with Sprint today. We did a battery pull and he did a phone refresh remotely. I tried a test text while he was on the phone. I sent a 2 parter to my wife and it was received. I thought the problem was fixed, but the very next 2 part text only showed the 2nd part of the message. I have not been able to get a 2 parter to go through since.
I bought the 8330 about six months ago and purchased the High-speed data package from Sprint. I have confirmed with my provider that I do have the high-speed data package. I noticed that the phone is very slow while connecting to the internet. I took the phone into the store where I bought it which is a Sprint dealer.
The person working there said the problem was that.I only had a 1X for radio signal and I needed a 1XEV. He messed with the phone for about an hour and even talked to support while I was in store. We tried re-provisioning several times and numerous other things. Eventually I was told by support that the particular Blackberry I owned did not support EV(EVDO) service and I would have to purchase a new phone.
Just wanted to ask, after the latest update. It feels like you really need to press down on the power button to get the shut down menu to show up.If i don't press down hard enough or right, the shut down menu shows up then it locks and the lock screen shows up. it's quite straight forward, and I don't remember having to hold down the power button for that long for it to shut down.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've searched all over but haven't seen anyone having this issue. I hooked my Atrix 4G up to a Windows XP machine today and instead of the old "Motorola Media Link" I'm familiar with it installed MotoCast USB (which I'm assuming is new). The problem is, that when MotoCast USB runs it is in Japanese. I uninstalled the software and then went to www.mymotocast.com and downloaded a the software thinking some wires got crossed on the first install, but the issue is still the same. I don't see anywhere that I can change the localization to English. Has anyone seen this or know how I can get the software to switch to English? I did notice that under the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMotorolaMotorola Media LinkShared it shows a FamilyLanguage of JPN and a LanguageCode of 0x00000411 (1041).

Tap for more."Choosing either of those will take me to the Agenda View showing the most current events.But, If I choose to the month view, the date defaults to December of 1969. I would then need to press "Today" so that I can view the current month and year. I have searched around and looks like this has happened on the droid forum, but did not say whether if or how it was solved.
