This phone is really good for the most part. It works really well. It has threaded messaging which means that when you have a convorsation with somebody you can just see the convorsation right there. It takes great pictures, no doubt about it. The only problem I have had so far is that you cannot change the style when its on vibrate. But the vibrate is so quiet anyways that you cant hear it when its in your pocket in dead silence at school anyways. It a great phone and I would recomend it. It is very new, but I think they should come out with faceplates soon.or something because I dont want people to have the issue of a scratched or broken phone, I want this phone to last me for a long time! : )

I just took a peek on eBay, and they have beautiful cases (hard and silicon) for cheap.

I can't get my Motorola Hint to get off of vibrate. It might be broken. I used the soft keys on the side and it says volume is loud, but it only vibrates.

i dont know what to do i love the phone as well but i could usually be able to download music from the myxer to my cell phone but with this phone it sayin that my phone is not formatted right what should i do to get ringtones on my phone and download to my music player
-2 votes
if you're wanting ringtones: send them frm your computer to your phone and follow the link and when it shows up the window about it not being in the right format and to choose one choose mp3 and if it doesnt work the fist time try clicking it again and when the volume speaker looking thing comes up click on options and save. if your wanting mp3's on your music player i just took my memory card out and put it on my computer and opened it and dragged the files i wanted from itunes onto my music player file and took the card back out and put it back in my phone and they're on there..PIECE OF CAKE..just takes a bit of thinking:)

The files need to be located at specific folder or just try to copy it to the top folder

Fir those that are reading back throught thid thread. If yo have a MemCard you can create your own folders and store different files there. Meaning, if you have files other than media ones. This can be a good thing depending on your purposes ;-)
I am a developer and I am interested in doing a few ditties for this phone. Anyone into this realm of development. I have all the necessary programming tools.

I have had this problem.. and you might have to format your card to the phone.. but the thing is everything on your card will be deleted.. so you will have to put new songs on the card.. not so good...

they have to be mp3 and i am pretty sure your phone has to format the sd card try those
-1 votes SD Card not supported
Save what ever you have on the card to your computer first. Then you need to format it to the phone. If it won't let you from there, then it is a card issue. Some of the newer Titanium SD cards are not compatable with a lot of electronics. I have returned several. Now I just stay away from them.

the micro sd card is a small memory card you can buy at walgreens walmart or radio shack it usually comes with a big one the the smaller one can be inserted into for use in digital cameras to install in your phone remove the battery cover and the slot will be in the top left corner when you turn it on the phone should say memory card inserted

How do you use your own mp3 as a ringtone?
-3 votes mp3 ringtones
Go into main menu and select multimedia. Select music and sounds, then select sounds. Whatever mp3's you've DL'd to the memory card will be there. Select "set as" and it will allow you to set that song to any number stored. You may have to switch it to a "ring tone" which it will prompt. Good to go.
I love this phone. Had it a few months, love all the features.

I am confused I have music on my mp3 that I want to set as a ringtone but it isn't under my sounds like you said its under music player, how do I get the songs off of music player and into sounds.

You have to put the mem card in phone and format the card first. Then when you open the card in your computer it will show a Sounds folder. Drag it to that folder then follow Gus advice.

let side is set. So is the bottom. but if it is data minutes you are concerned about, use the lock on the top. keeps it from going anywhere when closed, but allows it to do anthing when open. locks automatically when closed again. I love this phone so far!

My motorola hint wont go off vibrate. I used the soft keys on the left side and it says it is changing it but it isn't. Help!
0 votes Wouldn't recommend to the data user.
The Hint has some great features. I have some major problems with it though. First off my MP3 player doesn't work, my mobile Television doesn't work, and sometimes when I use the Internet to go on Youtube the videos don't play. Today is my second time trading the phone for another one. First it was the speaker and now it will not come on. I love the phone's features and style but I wish I would have purchased a new phone.

When you hook up your phone to your computer, assuming that you computer is a Windows, does your computer prompt you for action?

when you plug it into the computer it should give you a pop up and you click to open files. then you drag the music from your computer to the phone music file. that's it. when you unplug the phone, it will be on there
-3 votes How to use your own .mp3 as a ringtone
First: a MicroSD card has to be formatted BY the phone with the properly named folders-- "My Music", "Music", "My Sounds", etc. When I placed my blank MicroSD card into the phone for the first time and power-cycled it, this happened automatically.
Next: Any .mp3s you copy into "Music" or "My Music" will be playable in the Music Player. Any .mp3 you copy into "My Sounds" can be set as a ringtone from the Multimedia menu (the phone will ask permission to copy the .mp3 to the internal memory fist).

i really like this phone but im having a problem when someone sends me a pic thru mms i cant save it to my phone. how do you save it and the picture comes up to view?
-3 votes
It took me forever to figure this out too. After you have saved the picture, go to Pictures and select the one you want. Go to "Options" and then "Move" select "My Images". Then go to "Options" again, select "Move" again, and then select "Phone". Then go to "Options" yet again, and you will be able to "Set As" and "Contact ID" and it will display as caller ID image.
