Motorola VE538 - User Reviews

  • i think it's not bad bacause it can brows internet faster and i feel the hand free had surround sound do u want to buy a phone please buy moto ve 538 it not very expensive

  • can browse Internet fastly

  • not bad

  • no equalizer, speaker very loud, headphones not included and are expensive.

  • i want to know this ve538 has good quality when we getting video calls using front cam

  • Battery will last 4-5 days with normal GSM usage. It will be 1-2 days with GPRS usage. Photos are not bad. Videos are only 3gp, and not good. Sounds are good. Headphones are good. No mp3 file search function. It can't be used as a modem and pc webcam. It has a default setting for ringtones. It is always ascending.

  • Hi, I am using this phone since December-2009. Overall it is ok. Caller sound quality is superb even in a noisy environment. Keypad is bit rough. Videos are not good. Photos are not bad for a 2MP cam. Can't install games if java file size is over 400kb. Can't install unsigned applications. I think Nokia 5130 XpressMusic is better than this.

  • I desided to bye this phone....... What about its' sound & photo quality? What about its' Battery life? plz help me :)

  • >How to activate its internet modem function..? >Is it able to use as an additional PC webcam..? >Is there no hotkeys program in VE538 in file searching..such as for searching a mp3-file in mp3-list..?

  • It is a good and cheap phone. thx moto

  • my phone has a virus problem i want keep it free from virus. help me please

  • When i recieve a message, the time is 1 hour out from the actual time (back an hour). how can i change this?

  • push to talk join me.

  • Love the candybar design. Software is a little buggy. I cannot seem to get my alarm clock to work regularly. Otherwise, the Java is quite limiting. I cannot load my dictionary. However I would recommend the phone to a friend. I do not have much use for internet on a phone!

  • Hi Benjamin, I've been using a VE538 for almost a year. While on a call, you may raise the volume by pressing the "up" button on the 4-way navigation key.

  • I having a problem when received call. i voice all are not loud enough (i can say that sometime i hear nothing at all!! How to adjust hearing volume??? there is no button/function that i can raise the listening volume up!! Please advice me accordingly ASAP!! Thank you very much!!!

  • to the one who assemble this motorola ve538.. may you help us know our mastercode... damn.. your the only one who knows it

  • Hi Andrew, now i got your problem. Missed event notification works only via vibration. No choice! Just like ascending ring tone. We can do nothing about these things. I too seek a solution for this vibration.

  • Thanks CDTURBO for your answer.The MEI is on. My problem is that it only activates as vibration and not as beep(tone) as my previous Motorola W218.I tried different profiles and setting the vibration alert to none but nothing seems to work.

  • Hi, it depends on you.

  • if i wan buy this phone u guy say ok or not?

  • Hi, first obtain GPRS settings from the service provider. Set those saved settings as default. See whether browser works. If not rename saved settings as "Java". For example my operator is Etisalat. So, my internet profile is Etisalat. Rename it from Etisalat to Java. Now it works. Hope this helps.

  • Hi, I hope getting signed applications is not that much easy. Signing is a tedious task. Opera mini 4.2 has an international version signed with multiple certificates. It works. But you can't download files with it :( Apart from it, I couldn't find any signed application like MP3 Player, video player...etc. It's the annoying built-in security system. Hope this helps.

  • Hi Andrew J., sorry for delay. Did you check missed event indicator (MEI) under outdoor profile? MEI has only one option - either ON or OFF. You may try assigning vibration as your standard alert. Let me know how you are getting on. I do not use the Auto shutdown feature. I would check it and give a reply. Thanks.

  • to install java games and applications, put the game into anymous folder on the microSD. then, the application installed with the way you push the button option and instal !! thx.. best regard.. REDSA MAGNER

  • is this phone good? should i buy it????

  • so nobody knows how to change the missed event indicator from vibrating to tone?it's really annoying because I always leave my phone on the desk.

  • has VERY bad video quality but photos are ok. The screen colors are changing if you change viewing angle :( the potraid mode sucks due to this problem. It takes only motorola headphones which are a bit xpensive. Has some bugs - ie the speaker stays open sometimes Overall it is a very good phone for it's price. I don't regret having it.

  • a gr8t fone...fast surfing,gud music simple fone..like it...

  • Barthaleuw Kuma,i have a same problem too,for me,its very disappointing,my previous cellphone(LG) doesn't have this java security problem.Its make me regret buying this motorola phone,unfortunetly i still don't know how to fix it till now.Motorola should give confirmation how to fix this problem.

  • To all Motorola ve538 users,please help me.How can i sign java application in this phone? Every app i downloaded (not opera mini) results as "untrusted application",so the app can't access data/write user data.Please..please..HELP.Thx

  • please tel me how to configure my motorola ve538 internet

  • Please tell me how can I Get MotorolaVE538 softwear for PC?

  • please tell me how can I Get MotorolaVE538 softwear for PC

  • Can anyone please tell me how to change the missed event indicator from vibration to beep or tone?I can't see any option avalaible in profiles.Thanks!

  • To save your battery, set your ve 538 brightness to minimal, try it!

  • how can i use the internet ?? i can't connect? how 'bout the connection profiles and internet profiles??? i dunno how to use the internet!!?? please answer me.? thanks

  • How to enhance battery life after each recharge when only basic facilities such as normal network is being used ? How to activate "ring once" facility to avoid continuous ringing?

  • Although the battery life seems to be very much better than the other phones in the market (as per specifications), it seem that battery life is very much less than what is specified (310 hrs stand by and 6 hrs talktime.

  • Thanks CDTURBO for your answer. I Would like you to tell me how can I change the missed event indicator to beep because I don't have a clue.I've even read the manual.Also I've activated the autoshut-down\Auto power on feature but randomly the phone doesn't power on although the baterry is full.Did this happened to you too?Thanks again.

  • Outstanding phone,but the battery is sucks!! less than one day!!damn!allthought its new! motorola,what's wrong with you??!

  • Hi Andrew, there is no way to deactivate this default ASCENDING ring tone. It's common to all the profiles. Missed events you can set to beep.

  • I would like to ask VE538 owners if is there any way to deactivate that ascending tone default state for the ringtones. they play very soft for the the first 2-3 seconds and you can barely hear them.I've seen this option in the setings area of the menu in SE phones but there you can enable\disable it.Also I would like to know if it is possible to change the missed event indicator from vibration to beep (like i have it in my motorola w218) because if i don't have the phone in my hand the indicator doesn't justifies its purpose.thanks for reading this and i'm waiting for your answers:))

  • I bought it new for Rp 510,000 (US$ 51) + MicroSD 2GB Rp 90,000 (US$ 9). The box included charger, manual, and headset only. Main Camera, 3G, talk and text works fine, but the main disadvantages are: - so-so audio quality - ringtone's ring is very small at the first 5 seconds. It's hardly to hear the normal 3-5 sec SMS ring. You need the longer one. - Front camera quality is bad at poor lighting. - No volume rocker and camera key - The space key is at 1, while inserting symbol is at 0 (swap from nokia), rather difficult at first. By the end, it's really great phone with that price. But don't expected to much from the audio.

  • is this hp is good? because i need hp n i interest if i read that specification

  • Yes. Siemens SXG-75 themse are working. Nope. No audio jack. This phone has mini-USB and bluetooth... and both these are universal interfaces supporting a host of addon audio equipments such as mini-USB stereo head sets and wireless bluetooth music headsets...

  • I was able to use simens sxg-75 themes.... just copy or download the theme files and save it and select options and select install....

  • I just bougth a motorola ve440 still in the box in setting phone seller open the box and set the phone bluetooth.when I arrive in my house I go to google website and it was saying that my motove538 is not suppoerted by???.My question is my phone a motove440 or is is it motove538?How can I correct this

  • Hi everyone.....HELP?!?!?!? I have had this phone a few months and no problems until today, when it started giving me a message approximately every minutes saying "Insufficient memory. Do you want to free up space? It then takes me to the gallery but won't allow me to delete anything. I have also deleted lots of old texts, but now it won't let me send any texts. Any ideas? Many thanks Amy

  • What is the country made in this phone

  • how to install theme to this phone?

  • where is the speaker?

  • Thanks, appreciate your reply.

  • When disconnecting the phone from my computer the quickest way to have the phone respond so that I can use it is to unplug from the computer, remove the back and take the battery out and restart the phone this only takes 3 minutes before I can use the phone again, otherwise it just sits there "Please wait" displayed for in excess of 10 minutes. Yes I use the "Safely Remove Hardware" option on the computer. Diappointing!!!!!!

  • can i download themes to this phone? and does this one have 3,5mm audio jack?

  • That is not a phone setting, it is a service provider setting. Ask your phone service provider to increase the number of seconds your phone neds to ring. FYI - with most service providers in North America, you can call your voicemail and there will be an option for "account preferences" where you can change this setting yourself

  • Does this phone VE 538 enable the user to increase the length of time the ringtones rings? Mine rings for 3 seconds, Rarely am I able to answer a call.

  • its a very simple and nice phone..the camera is quite ok...easy to look up for frens number on the phone..give it a try...maybe the best secondary phone for private use

  • Oh my God! It was Nokia 1110, 1110i, and 1112's keypad.

  • Ugly design n without fm radio.. Motorola.. wake up,dont slepping.. this is 2009

  • Nice and Simple, up to 4gb...good resolution!!!, my problem is no FM :-C

  • heyy where's the fm radio?? was there a problem to attach it when moto made this ve? come on, what's the deal with 3$ just for providing a small chip radio?�...

  • When they are called you the sound it(he,she) is rising little by little of volume. I do not manage to remove this, someone can do it like? sorry i speak bad english

  • where's you got that design??? dump trash in finland??? motorola must be SEXY... VE538 is ugly design....

  • this phone can open you tube mobile, doesn't it ???..

  • nice phone...without any complains.....only 1...why the battre only for 1 day...

  • this one from the company is giving trouble to consumers.it has a huge software problem, and the driver provided by the company is not working and to add to it it can't be found on net. so those who are thinking to buy it, think twice. i would say don't even think about it. a complete waste of money

  • This phone is a copy of BenQ-Siemens E71,release in 2006,only few minor changes...

  • I have the same problem,the driver send by the service center doesn't work and it hard to find from NEt. Why the Motorola can't fix this tiny problem?

  • i tryied to use the internet but it dosent work the custmer servies told me the softwere isn't work

  • cn this phone downloadable java games.

  • so where i can find the siemens theme?

  • for those who r looking for themes for this phone you can use siemens sxg75 themes or .sdt themes

  • this is motorola's answer to nokia's 3120c. it has almost the same design and is on the same price range.

  • Right, ugly design. Were they 'high' when designed this phone? Why not using w388 or rokr e1 ? They want to be sold out or not?

  • please akhdian can you explain how you use this mobile as modem please thank you for helping

  • it can use as modem. i use buetooth. its works fine :)

  • This phone is quite similar to the BenQ M7 but not the same. The original one has GPS and a bi better screen, maybe something else.

  • good phone high quality sound but absymal web browser (i installed operamini and it works great) also outdated mediaplayer and the biggest negative is that i cant connect the phone as modem to my pc ,, but overall good phone with vivid screen and its a MOTOROLA!!!!

  • No radio, hard n small keyboard, small dimension, very uncomfortable. Why they launch this ugly design?

  • Sorry mate but it does not have that feature. can you tell me how to make the message tone louder and ring for longer----i am constantly missing messages because i dont hear them. i think i may ditch this phone and buy another brand

  • It rings for ageds but you can hardly hear tge message tone-it sucks

  • It rings for ageds but you can hardly hear tge message tone-it sucks

  • thanks but where do scroll down to to srt reminder? mine doesnt have it

  • Yes you can. On most motorola phone, go to ring style, select your ring style, then details, scroll down to reminder. Set the reminder

  • can any body tell me how to get the sms tone to keep playing until your text has been read? Does it have this function at all? My other Motorolas did.

  • come on guys. it's totaly diffrent than BenQ M7. dimentions, design, features. every thing.

  • it's cute ,handy size and very friendly user interface. i used it for a while. my question here is, is it HSDPA enabled? it's mentioned on the phone box but it's not there in any web site. if anyone knows please advice.

  • this phone is cute little phone, why people say a lot of staff, looks decent for a middle entry level phone only lacks fm radio that all, if is come out in australia ill buy, cheers!

  • its to expensive for a "just" 3G fone.in my country (indonesia) this fone is 1.8 million rupiahs, i think its about USD 106 - 108. samsung L700 is more cheaper in the future is just same,but with flash on the 2 MP cam,nice!!!

  • itz a very good phone ...i have it like for 2 month itz cool ... ;) lov it ;)

  • Indeed, the VE538 is very similar to the M7... but it lacks the enhanced dust/splash/whatever protection and the GPS receiver.

  • Guys, for those of you who didn�t red the coments, this is not a Motorola designed product, in fact the only moto thing is the logo. This is a BenQ M7, dressed in a Motorola. It�s only sold in Asia i guess... So stop making criticisms.....

  • bluetooth 1.2 ? ... goodbye moto

  • Such phones are designed to keep "network service providers" happy, so they can claim to offer "free handsets" to its customers to make them look good...

  • 5$ phone, what century is motorla living

  • Not really a Moto style design but still very cool looking. Good mid-range. The only thing I'm not that impressed with is the big 2.0 MEGA PIXEL text on the back.

  • already available in singapore. $0 with a regular 2yr mobile contract.

  • VE538 is fully made by Benq. Phone is cheap and nice! I love it!

  • i luv it... hope it is a level entry phone... i get confuse... this 538 is it 3.5g ,

  • speaker is the earpiece itself.;)

  • where's the speaker of ths fon?does it has the same speaker like the EM35?

  • the motorola ve538 is quite a good entry-level 3G celfone. 2mp camera w/ vga for video calling,bluetooth,mp3 and mp4 capable with upto 4gb microsd memory. the only real downside is the lack of an fm radio and it would have been perfect and flash for the camera would have been a plus,too. it's size and colors are quite cute and handy though. a good one from motorola.

  • btw, you can use benq-siemens themes on this phone.

  • i agree, for those who didn't have the access on the benq M7, here's your chance. got the phone already, as a siemens fan, i love it!=)it uses siemens brew os just like benq-siemens E81, EF81, SL91 and benq M7 of course.

  • As VE538 is being sold for about US$178 where I live (unlocked, no contract), can you share with us as to what other 3G offerings are available from other brands for others to consider? As a Moto fan, I don't like this V538 much either. I don't mind old models, as if they're ex-top-of-the-line being sold at great discount. E.g. Moto K3 with mostly higher specs than VE538 is being sold for about US$128 (unlocked no contract) where I live.

  • i agreed, this looks like benq/siemens phone that rebranded as Motorola. better get Nokia/Samsung/LG/SE/ 's 3G solutions. they all have better specs than Moto for the same amount of money.

  • Made by BenQ....For those who love the M7, here is a excelent opurtunity to have one.....

  • Can't be compared with E2, as VE538 doesn't even come with 3.5mm plug... Afterall, VE538 is an OEM product made by someone else... BTW, what's E3? As I've never seen a real one anywhere.

  • It is like Rokr E2 Or It is Rokr E3

  • It is out, it has NO radio, comes without earphones, and it sells for only 15 euros less than a Nokia 3120! Only a fool will buy it!

  • Motorola Indonesia Shop already sell Motorola VE538 with price around USD 120 until USD 150 without contract and unlock.

  • Moto made its first 3G touchscreen (even Symbian based if you want) phone 4 YEARS BEFORE the almighty brand did with its 5800...

  • its amazing i havent thought that motorola comes with 3G{ARIEFMEHRAJ}

  • Motorola Phone Site

  • cheap and affordable.. comes with 3G and also 2 MP cam plus micro SD external... very cheap indeed... so what are u expecting? if u want fancy stuff then this phone not suitable for u... btw its comes with white... its small and cute... see the items and touch it before u speak any words around here... its seems that u JUST MUMBLING!!

  • whats wrong with you? mobil.se have not done any comparative tests between 5mp camera phones where the ZN5 is included. Its not even released in Sweden yet if it ever will be.

  • Not that I'm aware of, indeed some said such phone is OEM from BenQ...

  • What I mean is does it run on the new Motorola platform MOTOMOAGX, based on Linux.

  • No, VE538 is NOT a smartphone, so it does not run on Linux.

  • does this phone use linux???

  • No , Not compatible with MPT

  • Except V3x didn't cost USD$175 (unlock no contract) when it was brand new...

  • same featuresas v3x which is a 3 year-old phone...

  • Can I check wat software does the phone use to synchronise? Motorola Phone Tools?

  • this phone would be great if it's affordable. :)

  • Please moto We want more from u...

  • yah..realy cheap model...motorola focus on there designs and phone software!!! not like nokia and samsung..

  • hahahaha!! i can't find the words for this..

  • this is very very poor design, i ashamed u moto...................

  • I read various reviews thru (hardcopy) magazines and a review by mobile review... Yeah, Moto sure comes last in terms of providing the WORST voice quality....unlike certain brand which specializes in music phones... The music phone company also "claims" its 8mp cam phones are....until I read the various reviews in various magazines.

  • yeah right, only in your dreams mate, in a test made by www.mobil.se, the Moto ZN5 came last out of ten 5mp phones tested, and the Nokia N82 came first, all shots made by 5mp loooks stunning on a mobile screen, it's when you look att the shots on a pc screen that u see the pixel quality, that's where ZN5 dropped the ball and finished last. Do u even have any link to the tests u r talkning about where ZN5 sweeped the floor with its rivals? I have never seen Moto win a mobile test the recent 5 years, stop making up stuff mate. And as for u sayind that it might even be better then 8mp phones, well, no comment, just a hearty laugh is answer enough.

  • It looks like Benq M7 which is weather proof. What about this?

  • If this phone runs on Motorola's new MOTOMAGX OS then this phone is the first 3G phone with that OS, which means that its a breakthrough. See out of the box people. Soon 3G version of ZN5

  • it looks like a black bar of soap...

  • Almost every other manufacturer makes such "low end" phones with nothing new! Look at the almighty brand, it still makes non-color mon phones in its 11xx series. Anything new for the 11xx series? Why didn't you make any comment on those? Low end phones are not designed for people like you. That's all.

  • Though its recent Zn5 beats the hell out of the other 5mp cam phones...if not some "so called" 8mp ones.

  • Look at - space is on number 1 . Siemens inside :-)

  • whats the point of launching this fone...i mean there is nothing new in it

  • Couldn't agree more..

  • The best phone ever. Motorola rocks!!! Iphone is history, with this phone Motorla is going to beat Apple.

  • why is this piece of **** so thick? it has the specs as phones from 1998.. does it really have to be that thick? Motorola is now officially the brand of poverty stricken third world countries and 2mp seems to be their new selling point, til they figure out how to work a decent 3mp, haha

  • Ugliest phone in my entire life.

  • Agree in terms of specs...except when Moto "officially" says the phone supports 4GB, the phone probably can actually support 8GB, just like my experience with U9 & E8, A1600, if not Zn5. Yes, I still have my V3x (in active service!) and I've a 1GB card, and the V3x is a bit slow when searching photos. Another thing is the price...the original price of a V3x cost can buy 2 VE538

  • the same features since v3x nothing changed...

  • niiiice!

  • c0ol. . . it's 3G in a smaller package. . . and light too!! 3G for everyone MOTO ROCKS!!

  • It's... very similar to the Benq M7...

  • yeah pertamax.... ugly design...

  • OMG Moto, you guys are not joking? r u? this has got be 20 steps back.

  • yeah, y no crystal talk?

  • The phone is available in Hong Kong for about 2 weeks already. Priced at around USD$173 with no contract and unlock. The phone is actually OEM thru another manufacturer. Hence no Crystal Talk is available. (quite important for bar phones) The amazing part of this phone is the size! Is rather ironic to put it side by side with my good old Moto A835! Can't imagine how technology has advanced in the past 4 years for 3G phones.

  • Looks to be decent specs for entry level phone. Could be a good phone for prepaid service.
