  • anyone knows a camera fix for CyanogenMod7 ? everything is working exept the camera!

  • Halmz, The phone is released with 2.1 which did not support App2Sd (moving apps to the SD card) I have this phone and I suggest either upgrading to an official rom version maybe 2.2 or getting CyanogenMod 6.1 For Pulse The latter requires Rooting your phone and Flashing the new rom, it will add an unbelievable amount of speed to this device, so much more custom options (like the colours of the status bar, putting widgets in the drop down status bar etc) and you will have apps 2 sd. email search the modaco forums or Google.com for Cyanogenmod 6 for pulse for more information and help in flashing a new rom, making your phone awesome! haha ;)

  • ballat , u tried the link youn54 sent u ?? did it work ? was there any functions not working ? ? looking for ward to hear from u .

  • app2sd will work only if u rooted ur phone , otherwise , u'll see it's useless , u can get astro from the market to have backups of ur apps , but in order to move ur apps installation from the device to the sd card u need to root ur phone and i am not sure about how to do that , or what app u use for it , all i know u divide ur sd card to 2 partitions and u have to make sure the one u'll use to install apps on it is not more than 999Mb . and i think u use zroot for that , just not 100% sure of the name . u can google root u8230 and u'll fine more details , bets of luck :))

  • first turn on Bluetooth . go to file manager , locate the music file u want to send "go to the folder where u store it" long press on the file u want to send , a list of options will appear , click share , then choose Bluetooth , and voila :))

  • I love this phone but have had similar problems. The battery is not sufficient for the applications and talk time. I also have problems with the wall paper app. being to large for the screen. I gladly put up with these two problems though. I was lost in unfamilar territory and was so grateful to have access to A-GPS and maps. I love this phone.

  • Yes I am pretty sure. Used for charging and data.

  • Ok, well, i quite like this phone, my only flaw with it would be the wallpaper issue. i want to use my own photos but when i set them as the wallpaper i find there way to big and out of focus oh and also the messages, when i recieve a message it goes onto the top of my screen and sometimes i dont realise i have a message, id like a bigg notification on the screen sayin new message. Bonita.

  • I wondering what is its talk time and standby time..

  • Hi! I´m very curious about the two different designs of the U8230. What differs from this picture to others I´ve seen (not often) and in a video on YouTube, is that the phone just has a silver lining, not the aluminum you see here where the buttons are, which in the other case is black. Does anyone know what to make of that, is it different designs in different countries?

  • hi guys . i bought new huawei u8230 it is perfect. internet is good. over all it is better than any other android phn due to big screen. i sugest this phne

  • it has a secondary camera.

  • I had my u8230 for one week then the display got wierd i don't show the right colors and stuff. Ithink Huawei let this model out too early cause i have a lot of bugs in mine and for that reason (and because never update to 2.1) i am switching to another brand. This is my opinion only and i recommend people to really check the warranty before buying it or you can be screwed.. i was=(

  • i am seeing the spec atleast 4 times in a week,with eager of buying it. but doubtfull about the perfomance and service back up. it is selling here through one of the athourised network provider for Usd 385. eventhough i cant recomend because of brand and popularity. any one who have true experience with this phone please let me now.([email protected])

  • i have a very big problem with the battery.....talk time ....they shoud do something to improve it.....i'm planing to get another brand for this reason.....:(

  • That means you can conect your headset but no file transfer. But you can download and isntall free 3rd party software and use your bluetooth in any way... Also a viewer usually pre-installed but no editing. You have to purchase an editor for office documents... Adobe is freely distributing acrobat reader lite...

  • Can someone tell me if "headset support only" in the bluetooth means what I think it means... Also, I never used an Android phone before, is it possible to use it to read pdf, doc, xcl, etc.? Thanks!

  • Dont buy it after where are are you going to get the service back up in case you require any stay away buy some thing well known you can get quite a few for this cost

  • what about the display ? is it readable under sunlight?
