  • I cannot move apps to my sd card help please

  • I am using this phone from 1 year but now from 2 months I have been facing the network problem. Most of the times it show Emergency Call Only, even that the same SIM card works fine in another phones. I've tried another SIM cards but the problem continues.

  • I used to have no problem with my phone's browser untill recently when I can't download any video or audio content on my phone. I have tried resetting the phone but still...please help me!

  • how to move apps in sd card plz zzz tell me

  • how to move apps in ad card plz say me

  • guys,my moto xt389 going to pattern lock and this problem was unsolved coz here in india no service center of motorola is available ..do u hav any idea to crack lock ...

  • where do i get a motorola motherboard in kenya

  • screen went all black won't let see anything and it stays cold the abttery supply when charging?/ any advice plz.

  • Today I have resolved my problem. If call is made connecting headphone then screen remains on, and for normal call, after dialing when screen goes blank, to disconnect the call or to switch on the screen one has to press the top right hand corner, on the right side of the sensor, press once wait, the screen comes back, and then call can be disconnected as required. Incidentally, the usable internal memory is about 151 MB, Usable RAM is about 378 MB. touch screen is very smooth.

  • I cannot disconnect any call after dialling as the screen goes blank. Only when called number hangs up then only screen comes back. I got it from eBay.in yesterday only. Any suggestions?

  • As of today 10 Mar 2014, this Device is totally outdated and cannot handle whatsapp and bbm together. Usable ROM (where you install apps) is few MBs and can accomodate whatsapp and few here and there apps. Though applications can be moved to sd card but they not be installed directly to sd card which is the biggest problem. Say you have 50 mb space left on ROM so you can only install applications below 50MB size and then move them to sdcard, that too if app is moveable (e.g. Whatsapp is not moveable because its ROM only app). Verdict: Do not buy this mobile if you are willing to use basic apps. You may only buy if you just required whatsapp and normal calling & texting features. Battery is again average and lasts for one day. On ebay people are selling this mobile for around 3500/- INR

  • Sd card cant go. How does it go?

  • Did anybody find youtube working on it over the Wifi. Mine is not working, same thing is happening with google maps.

  • hi Lenz , do u have know any cm7 rom for this mobile

  • You can not update this mobiles Operating system, LET it be Gingerbread. To Move apps to SD card, you need to root your mobile, make 2 partition of FAT32 system(both must be FAT32) for this device,then install 'link sd' application restart, allow linksd to get root access via superuser app or whichever you have installed while rooting, i have chinese app installed via rowmaster rooting method. Thankx to XDA Developers. then every time you download new app move it to sd card from internal to sd with the help og link sd, by creating link or my hitting move to sd button if it alllows is of best option is to create link and move all files to sd

  • 100% guarantee XT389 is Better than Asha 306, But Dont expect after sells service from motorola as they are shutting down all service centers in india. Motorola is not going to provide any mobile service for indian customers further.

  • Offcourse XT 389 this is proper smartphone.....

  • nokia asha 306 and xt 389 which is better

  • I purchased this mobile from ebay, but i didnt get Battery... so anyone can arrange battery?

  • can i upgrade this gingerbread to jelly bean?anyone

  • I baught this mobile for 3800 Rs. a month ago, its very nice it has stock android 2.3.6 gingerbread, but you can not upgrade it to ICS or Jellbean, updates not provided by motorola and this nice device also not listed in motorola site content, Motorola has stopped support and service for this device. even though i baught it. becuase This is very nice mobile, also rooted it Installed 32 GB class 10 micro sd card installed all whats app games etc etc. WIFI 3G everything works great on this mobile screen is smoother than i expected. You cant play games like subway surfer and others on this device which are made to be run on ICS. but there are lots of other games that will make you happy ,Video clearity is also good, convert videos in mp4 with format factory 420x360 resolution n ur done. 3.2MP camera of this device is not so good. cosiderable for this price.

  • Can someone tell if the android version on this mobile is upgrade-able? if yes, how can it be done? Thank you in advance

  • Although it has a small memory the lack of GOOD compatible apps (excluding some ) means that its not much of a loss. It doesnt even have the power to host minecraft PE and as for the free fps that are actually good (final commando and z end world war being good examples) haveant a hope! Overall it does have other good features 5/10

  • Is this phone realesed in india

  • to change your internal to external

  • bt why

  • memory useless even using memory sd cannot transfer enough data to free up 150mb of internal memory.why do i have facebook and twitter pre installed! if i wanted them i would have downloaded them.

  • the internal phone memory is so small 150 mo how can we download directly to the SD card and how to update my software ?

  • I m going to buy this phone...

  • mini sim is normal sim formarly we uses in all the mobiles before 2012 in india. actually mini sim are normal, currently micro sim are common and future is for nano sim till 2016 after then sim less smartest mobiles are coming......

  • mini sim dosn't work in india ? then what are we using for years ?

  • awsome phone already taken 5 handsets

  • I had a motorola phone years ago and i hated it and never looked at one again until now and i really love this phone if someone asked me which phone i wanted between iphone and motorola xt389 it would be motorola xt389 every time

  • country code problem solution

  • In your opinion, what is tha app kind "notepad" - quickie, free, basic - best to install in XT389, which come without this pre installed app?

  • About alrm clock you se on screen is like arow like nevigaton system and press and dhen you see clock press clock alrm is ther

  • This is a great phone. been using it since last week. The only thing that hurts is there is no root maethod available for it. Nor Bootloader is yet unlocked. Although a great machine

  • Actually, a regular SIM is very old fashioned and is about the size of a credit card. What we know as a "regular" SIM is actually called a Mini-SIM. I hope you enjoyed this fun fact :)

  • Guys don't worry this doesn't use mini-sim as stated, it uses regular sim card

  • I have this phone, is very good but the ROM memory is 150MB not 512MB

  • how do u change background foto

  • what about application

  • You need to download app to SD

  • opne tha clock application, there must be an icon of alarm, regards

  • my experience using this product two weeks after I purchased it, has been very good, except the problem of internal memory this phone meets my expectations, else you would like is to access the root menu, still can not find the way ... but I hope someone makes an effective method ... regards

  • i love this phone but i can never remember where everything is it got so much on it and you can download untold - by the way who knows where the alarm clock is please >>???????????????

  • Currently using one of these good ringtone volume, ok display, internet speed could be faster. Bigest problem is space for apps. I added touchpal and a ringtone app and it ran out of space although this did not affect the sd card for mp3s and videos.

  • The battery life is very bad...only 3-4 hours in standby with some phone calls and some internet access (whatsapp & facebook).

  • Can anyone tell me the battery life? In normal use, with a little internet surfing. Thank you in advance!

  • What about the battery life? I want to use it only for talking and internet surfing. Would the battery last at least 2 days?

  • Did you root XT389? can you provide some link or tutorial? thanks in advance

  • does anyone know how to root the xt389?

  • with root and cm7 this hardware fly over many other qualcomm 800mhz + adreno200 (galaxy ace...lg optimus hub htc sony)..in benchmarck with stock rom is 25% faster then qualcomm+adreno200 platforms

  • That left us a while back when touch resistive screens were dumped, thankfully. I have this device and can confirm it is aligned just fine, touch response is very good, don't like the viewing angle in landscape very polorised. Audio good, beter than motoluxe, and faster thanks to lower screen res'.

  • Can someone please tell me how to calibrate it because in my settings it has nothing about calibration or touch settings?

  • Judging by your spelling...i'd say the phone is actually smarter.....

  • Phone looks gud , But have less pixel only 3MP without flash ...........

  • Looks lyk the other motoluxe Design is awesome gud take. .hope it wud be low price as specs are somewhat lyk htc explorer or galaxy y but design and style is awesome

  • Phone is slow like me...
