i had bought the mitsubishi mobile M900 from last 2 months,betweens i had bought an extra kingston 256MB miniSD card.First time to use,there is no any problem,and i also formatted the memory card in mobile when i was first time to use.

But,i don't know what's wrong with my mobile phone now,it always appear "check memory card" when i slot in my miniSD card in my mobile.And i try much more of time,it finally can read the miniSD card,but when i wan to read the file from the memory card,it will appear "decoding failure",if i continue to read,it will hang there.

I am sure this is not the memory card problem,coz it can be use with my computer.But cannot use in the mobile,The problem is getting worse now,i even cannot format the memory card and read the file from my mobile.When i was slotted in,"check memory card" will appear.Do i need to upgrade the software version?Or this is the version problem?And may i know where can i found a shop to upgrade the mobile software in singapore?

Hope i can solve my problem as soon as possible,and i will not waste my money to buy another memory card at all.Thanks....

I found how to play music on M430i. By using QuickTime Pro, we can make a 3gp files supported by this terminal.The procedure is bit complicated but;

a. CD transfer to .m4a by i-tune
b. .m4a file needs to be saved in .mov by
QuickTime Pro
c. Then, export movie to 3G
Options : File format 3GPP
Audio
Audio AAC-LC
Data Rate 16kbps or more
Channel Stereo
Samping 11025Hz or more
Quality better

I think the Dta-Rate should be more than 64kbps to keep CD quality, but still 50% smaller than MP3.

I think

As far as I know there is only one key difference between the M900 and the M430.

Unfortunately the imode functionality of the M430i itself is responsible for the lack of the mp3 playback functionality. As the memory on the phone is limited and the memory of the mp3 player is used for imode functionality.

imode also means that you get a browser, extended messaging functionalities (compared to the M900) and the doja 2.5 engine.

It might be a really dumb strategy of Mitsu to release a phone with such limitations (either imode or mp3). because we are talking only about 5MB additional memory.

but it is a great step they took from the m341i to m430i, therefore lets hope for the successor to have all the functionalities of an up-to-date multimedia-mobile-phone.

the question will only be if it will run on symbian or microsoft. let's wait and see.

Why can't I send file from M900 to pc thru infrared? Is anyone facing this problem? M900 send file to PC or other mobile phone is ok. other phone send to M900 also work properly.

What do you mean? Can or can't you play mp3 files on your m430i?? And if you can, could you please inform us how?
I myself also think that the phone is able, but it's just locked by the provider. Same goes for Shockwave-flash and java games/files.. they can only be played using Imode and not by just installing the apropriat jad/jar files (no install option available).. Pretty sucky of them...

Ciao,
