My 1070 occasionally displays the "Picture Capture Failed" fault, and I've had one or two "corrupt" pics. Not as bad as some people here, though. No issues with voice yet. My main problem is an interference-like buzz when recording video. This lasts exactly 60 seconds, then clears. But occasionally it records video without the buzz... it's a nuisance. I hate texting on it - the cursor takes so long to move on - and too many of its functions are buried in submenus, but apart from that it isn't bad. I'm reluctant to return it to Orange for replacement because they charge a £15 "administration fee", even though they have supplied me with faulty merchandise :-(

I've got the camera problem. It doesn't work... Show the message: capture failed... I need help. Has Anybody fixed the problem? If yes, how? Do you know where I can get the software of this cell phone?

nbkD: If you stored your pictures on the microSD card then you can access them in that way. But if you stored them on phone, you will need to set the phone to use USB for a data connection and get yourself Motorola Phone Tools utility.

Yes, afaik older Motorola E1070 phones with older software had serious problems with picture taking and sometimes it even corrupted all the data in memory.
Anyway - if you have luck and get a working phone it is great!
Like, one of the previous posts - I am also wondering if there is an easy way to increase the recording length of the video. It is limited to 30 seconds. What file do I need to edit in p2k mode and at what offset in it and to what? Is there also a way to change the video recording quality - imho the default is great for MMS, but you can see the compression artifacts. Thanks if anyone replys.

hi there,

short question - do you need an original Motorola USB cable to transfer pictures to a PC? I've tried it with a Canon mini USB cable, but the the Removable Disk appears as if it was empty? Any experience?

Hi all, I would like to give you all some advice.....stay well away from the Motorola E1070. I am now on my 5th (5) handset from Orange, all of which have suffered the same fault - "Picture Capture Failed". I have done some digging, and this is a known software bug. Orange will not replace with a diferent make handset so I have to live with it until my next upgrade :-(. You can temporarily fix this problem by restarting your handset, but it will go faulty again after a couple of days. You have been warned!

3 weeks with enough problems to change mobile. I have bought the v1075 (in Portugal) but I think it's the E1070 in other countries. Sometimes I can't get photos, when people phone me or the other way around I cannot hear the other party but the other party can hear me, unless i turn on the speaker. I'm not very pleased with this mobile phone. Well I'm angry.

To those people looking for the sofware; you can download it on Ares, emule or similar programs, name; "mobile phone tools for motorola". Good luck.

I have the same problems with my camera: sometimes it just won't work besides that the screen occasionally just goes blank for a few seconds. Does anybody have a clue where I could download the software for my USB-connection?
tnx
