I've had my W231 for a month now and I'm happy with battery life and sound quality for both speakers and earphones. What I'm not too happy about is that the USB to PC connection does not work. I find it inconvenient to remove the micro SD card every time when I want to add songs or wallpapers to my memory. I've installed the USB driver but all it does is allow me to charge the phone, data transfer is still unsupported. I also am not able to use the GPRS/WAP browser despite downloading the ones sent by my subscriber. What gives?

                This phone does not support downloading Apps/games via GPRS. I've tried it several times but on all downloadable contents it says "unsupported content type".

                              good phone,except that the battery sucks big time,it takes long to get full charge,but then it only takes 1day to drain it.very easy to use though,and have practical features,althoug i dont think i would go to the extentof buying memory card for it,if i use the mp3 feature of this phone it wont even take an hour for its battery to get low,so its only good for texting and calling.

                                Hi,

                                Solutions and Answers:-

                                1. Charge ur phone straightly for 5 hrs and let it drain each time and then charge it normally for 2 hrs at third time. Ur battery life will be increased and long last.

                                2. No, it doesn't support any Java applivations.

                                3. To format Memory card, Go to Phone Menu, then Settings, then Intial Set Up, then scroll down there will be one option of Format Additional Storage Device and press Yes for Format. (Note it will delete ur data if u have any data in it but not card drivers, so dont worry, just take back up before formatting ur memory card if u want, if its empty then no need. Just format simply. If u dont see any Format Additional Storage Device option in Intial Set Up then reinsert ur memory card).

                                Thanks.

                                    Is the battery life good for this phone? 'Cause I have a W230 and the battery life for that phone sucks big time, it lasts only a day.

                                        to upload music to your micro sd, you must first format the BLANK micro using your w230/w231. if you don't format your micro sd using your phone, the phone won't recognize your card. if you have music installed in your card before formatting, your phone can't read it. if you format it with music already installed, all your music will be erased and you are back to square one. so, format first before loading your music. hope this helps.
