If you do not download the coreplayer for movies what file do they need to be converted to in order to work?
I placed an Mpeg4 on it but looks like in properties it is really m4v which is a partial of Mpeg4. Either way it would not play. So what file format on standard Z8 phone will work?

> In reply to @MiR @ 2009-05-05 02:41 from fXxrjust search in google "elegance modmymoto" Im sure it will return the link coz we can't post it here.

by changing the firmware to MODIFIED firmware, you can change icons, put different startup/shutdown animation and sounds and even install expired,cracked apps.....

moto z8 is a symbian phone. use COREPLAYER app to play ALL VIDEO FORMATS. avi, FLV, mp4,3gp, mpg, etc... and also ALL AUDIO FORMATS.

how come you're not aware of this stuff? u should read forums so you'll get more knowledge and make the most out of your phone.

your rizr z8 will be a multimedia monster ONLY AFTER you change the stock firmware. There are a lot of available modded firmwares such as elegance, foxmod, etc.

I updated mine with rizrvistaz8 firmware and now my z8 is definitely worth keeping. no more annoying bugs whatsoever.

For everyone who has an moto z8 try the site
modmymoto.com there are a lot of advices about flashing and resolving your problems with z8.I recommend to install "elegance" monsterpack because after i had done this i didn't have any more problems.Sorry if i wasn't allowed to say this.

After 9 months with my Z8, I might say goodbye to it afterall.

Yesterday I called my wife, all of the sudden the phone shut itself down...obviously dropped the call, and wife was going "why did u hang up on me???"

There is practically nothing on my Z8...no additional program (other than those straight from Moto itself), not even any playlist for music...

Periodically the phone shut itself down while charging as well.

I already gave up what all other functions it should perform...just to use it as a "phone" for dial out and receive calls. However, Z8 seems to fail even the most fundamental requirement as a phone.

I still like its design, despite some may complain about its ergonomics. I really really wish somebody can simply install any other type of O/S into my Z8...even the basic P2K, which would make it work like my Z3...which still works as a phone. (with "ok" music player)

Planning to sell my Z8 this weekend, though not sure how much I can get out of it...or if any electronic stores offers a good trade-in deal, I might get a VE66. (though under current economic situation, better get some cash instead of spending on another mobile, as eventually prices for VE66 may drop below US$120...)

How about the 3G function? I'm planning to dig out my good old V3x or E770, either of which still works better as a "phone" than Z8.
