Motorola W231 - User Reviews

  • this phone is like a piece of shxx..piece-out

  • I hate this phone! It so stupid, if you accidentally set it on a wrong setting you can never get it to change back. Currently its stuck in freaking Italian or something and i can't get it back to English. and my inbox is set so that its organized in alphabetic order and not in the most recent text first. It drives me crazy!

  • look like a good phone but still something proplem in this phone becoz its mp3 phone with memory but not blutooth .GPRS Support connectvity to pc usb available but software not available

  • the phone's usb port is of version 1.1 and is not recommended to use on newer usb versions. I suggest transferring files via a microSD card reader. place your music files in the memory card on a folder named "music" and images on a folder named "PICTURE". Place the above said folders in the root (outermost) directory of the microSD card on the PC. The phone can support up to 2GB of memory, but I recommend using !GB of memory. Also, this phone can handle images of up to a maximum of

  • i hate this phone it is driving me crazy i have the same problem as everybody else

  • it's software is user friendly

  • i need a software for my w233 or 231 to get songs from my computer please reply i need the soft ware .

  • the memory dont recognize easily

  • i can't connect it to my notebook.. how do i can get it? is it need any drver?

  • about usb driver

  • i'm loking for motorola batrey for motorola accomli a 6188,if any one have call me 08157939511 indonesian

  • h0w to install themes in moto w231?

  • I also own motorolla W231 and the reason I bought it is just for calls and when it advertised that it has crystal talk, I readily picked it amongst my choices. I did not expect much with this phone it has only basic features. May be I was just mimimalist when I bought one. But know I am getting bored of it.

  • it has 2,5 jack audio. the screen is CSTN. and the headset isnot in stereo, but mono quality. when i try to fit in with my nokia 5300 headset, the sound quality is mono.sorry, my english is bad.

  • There is no TFT display and no 3,5 mm jack....

  • pilotes for motorola w230

  • whether I can transfer files from my Computer through the USB cable provided along with W230?. If not how can I transfer the files. List out the procedures since Micro SD card has to be formated by the phone before copying the files (as per the documents provided).

  • Well,what do u expect.its just a basic fone with an mp3 player-crystal talk its a huge bonus for calling

  • Where do u put the musics?do u create new folder besides the folders that automatic created by the fone.coz u cant create a new folders,n the fone cant read files or folders besides the folders that created automaticly by the fone.

  • I it has a 3.5 mm jack.beside a TFT display n the keypad that not the same with moto w230.i dont know why moto made this similar fone,just like nokia.lots similar fone,plizz..dont do that..its not so creative

  • does it really have 3.5 mm jack..?? answer please.. it would be really awesome if it is 3.5mm..! haha..

  • so...i uploaded music (finally��) but when i look it up in the phone it doesnt show...! soo helP!

  • This phone isnt support Java. I cant do a lot things w/ this phone

  • Where you able to switch storage devices? Did you use the card (add stuff) before reformatting it w/ ur phone?

  • i already have this sd card and the phone does'nt recognize it. everytime i format the sd card it is always failed..... whats the best thing to do with it??????

  • I really don't know what you meant by "branded", since most of the SD cards are. There are something you migth need to know like: - the phone only supports up to 2gb, beyond that would be impossible for the phone to read on. - any micro-SD is fine. You can also buy from established brands like Kinston, PQI, Transcend to be safe. Personally, I have a 2gb Kingston.

  • does this phone really needs a branded sd card? i cant format my sd card using my phone, help me out. tnx.

  • Well guys, i had this phone after my cdma nokia got stolen. In a rush to have a mobile phone so i bought w231 as the price is affordable that day. I bought this phone 5 months ago and i can tell u a lot of things about w231. 1st of all the keypad is totally awful, it's almost impossible to get the right text without looking at the screen (after 5 months i couldn't get used to it) 2nd the sound clarity is very good, the pure sound beat the mighty N73, i could say that after my friend and I played the same song at the same time. N73 got blur at the max volume, when is mine still very good. 3rd web browsing not very functionally, it's affected with the limited screen size and resolution. 4th jack audio 3.5 mm and microUSB port very useful, and that's one of the reason i choose this handset. 5th the price is very cheap according to it's performance, quick reading memory card even at the max limit, battery life quiet longer then i thought so, the endurance of this handset is unquestionable ( i dropped it three times and my nephew dropped it about 5-6 times and still works perfectly) So guys, if u have very limited budget i suggest u buy this phone. No regret that's what i feel. And now on i'm going to switch to LG KF510 coz' this phone couldn't satisfied me more than i wanted to ^^. GBU

  • The w231 could only support up to 2gbs.

  • I really don't know what your problem is with the messaging but it works just fine. I just bought one for my sister as a gift for her graduation and I am really surprise how good that phone is a music player and a standard phone. This is coming from someone who owns a fully modded ROKR Z6 and ROKR E8, and these phones have haptic sensor for the e8 and soft touch for the Z6. I gues that you are just not used with the keys yey. Pinoy din ako pre :D

  • I agree. There is really much to hate about this phone. Text Input must be the primary one. This is what I wrote to Motorolla, Phils customer service... Try inputting a a a... what happens is: "abc". There are also times when the keypad seems unresponsive, maybe has something to do with its rubber keys but I've seen phones with rubber keys but they're not like W231. Really slow performance. The menus don't seem to be well thought of. There are also some other things I do not like about this phone I just can't enumerate all of them right now. All I wanted was a phone with no camera (coz of some restrictions on my line of work). I know I did not pay much to acquire this phone and all I was expecting was a decent phone with minimal features - call and SMS. SMS is a really basic feature yet this phone fails to perform in that very basic aspect. Even without the Radio or MP3, I would have no complaints about this phone but the Text Input... it's simply the worst I've ever seen. Is there a FW update to at least fix my problem with the text input? Also, I talked to some who own this same model or those that are about the same line and they also have the same complaints. I have owned and used Nokia and S Ericson phones and I also had minor problems, but not as worse as this phone. At least not enough to get me to write something like this. *tsk* *tsk* two thumbs down for Motorola W-series

  • Welcome to the non Western Hemisphere W233. Red instead of Lime-Green.

  • Check out motorola web site regards

  • where can i get or download the pc suite so i can connect motorola w231 to my computer?? pls...

  • lovely phone

  • I used a cd-r king micro sd 4gb, i tried formatting it on the phone w/c says "format failed", so i find alternative and reduced it into a 2gb by lo-formatting it on my desktop.. and tried to format in on the phone, hopefully, but it ended up w/ the same message.. really hopeless it is with my 4gb mem card?

  • ur battery can do m,uch better if u have a chance to change it to a way more better battery. by the way,almost evrytime when im using mp3,the battery just got dropped to 4 bars? it bothers me because i bought this unit 3 friggin days ago, can u post some help issues because its fraining my patoence?????@@@@@!!!!�

  • you can only search for the music files on your phone in the memory card by placing your Music files in the Music folder and Picture Files on a Picture Folder. You have to create this folders first in the root directory of the MicroSD card. The Phone only supports mp3,midi,amr for music files and GIF and JPEG of small sizes. I am also having some hard time on how to install some games.

  • it just can't play music from other memory card and more so the data was erased.I programmed new songs to my memory but still the files can not be accessed. I am really diasapointed. pls help.

  • Hey? how can i install games/themes on this phone?! plzz reply!!!

  • i have much regret of buying w231 at wellcom sm cebu last week. imagine when i tuned up the mp3, the battery easily drained out,i kept on charging almost everyday. one thing i comment is the the keypad. this is the worst cellphone i ever bought.

  • motorola w231 is not support java midp. it can add some application,please correct it. CORRECT IT.

  • thats right, the keypad lay-out on this phone is difficult to press. this is the worst motorola phone i've ever used in my life.

  • yes the keypad on this phone doesnt work so well, if youre texting sometimes the letter you type in doesnt show, or it shows a different letter than the one you typed in, thats why i had to go back to nokia, atleast nokia keypads are way much better than this...

  • can i use this as a modem

  • how can i use the memory card of this phone?because i bought A new w231 but i cannot read my memory card..it sez..no specific supported file..what was that meaning??

  • the motorola w231 is nice mp3 phone but just like most motorola products and their batteries,it leaves much to be desired. i don't see why they can't match their batteries to their phones' model usage. this particular model should have a stronger battery-life since turning it into an mp3 player would really be a high-drain power function. i hope their folks at their r & d department do their homework otherwise their just being paid for nothing. i wonder when will the day come when motorola and the other celfone brands can at least match the longer power of nokia batteries,which has the best batteries in the biz. sorry motorola but you could do better.

  • Yes you can change the casing of W231 to W230 and W230 to W231. Me and my classmate tried it and it works. Now my only beef is that, I'm having troubles making 2.5mm headphones to work. I doesnt work fully inserted to the headphone slot. Only the right channel will work. You have to pull it back a little to make it work for both right and left channel.

  • I have this phone & it's a great phone. Somehow, the negative specs about it is that, it has a poor GPRS (because you can't even download some stuff easily). About the battery, GOOD LUCK! busted! after a while, CHARGE.. & CHARGE... & CHARGE.. & CHARGE... & Charge! Never ending huh? & it's a big big BADTRIP! I'm telling you guys. However, IT'S CHEAP! Probably, there are no perfect phones at all. thx!

  • you have contacted to service center or something concern to service person becasuse this is a prob............. you should get some solution

  • i bought motorola w231 last nov. 28, 2008...after a week i've seen a blot on the screen, a small blot..at first i thought it's nothing to worry about but then as days goes by it's becoming bigger and bigger...so i brought it to welcom sm fairview where i bought it...then they said its lcd....but they couldn't repair it because they have no available parts...they refer me to semicon sm north edsa..but same thing no parts no repair it...it would take three weeks, a month, ar even more than a month before i'll have it again...then they refer me to motorola..my gosh....i'm tired of referring referring, referring.....my one year warranty was unfair...i have this moto w231 for only a month and half...couldn't you change my unit? i don't like motorola's service centers and motorola,too...i don't love you anymore...

  • I used to have a Motorola W230 and the battery life for that phone sucks, I have to charge it everyday. So I wanted to know if this phone's battery life is way better than the W230 or it sucks as well. Hope somebody can answer this. Thanks.

  • dude you cannot interchange the cover/housing of w230 & w231 the keypads are completely diferent.

  • the w231 sold here in the philippines have completely different SPECIFICATIONS compared to what is posted here. The specs of the w231 here are completely similar to the W230. I suspect that they just change the external covers. Please verify my claim...

  • how many years can it last?

  • I need new game for motorola W231

  • hey, I've got a Moto W230, which is it's predecessor, I haven't seen this phone yet, but on the specs I've read, it's no different to the W230, just the design of the phone itself, and it does have a 2.5mm jack instead of a 3.5mm, priced at only PHP2,000 to 2,500 or maybe lower... it doesn't come free with a memory card (c'mon guys! it's one of the cheapest phone in the market with an MP3 and memory card support! that should count for something!... don't ask for a free memory card on this one!) anyways, I have no problem using my phone, maybe when you're trying to connect to the GPRS, you don't have the correct settings, you see, the W230 is somewhat only able to connect to SMART and not GLOBE GPRS, maybe this phone works the same? and about the software, the phone supports USB Mass Storage once you've got a memory card, it should be UPnP, that is, the phone installs its driver automatically when you connect it to PC with a USB cable... hmmm... I suggest you read the specs and reviews on the W230, I just think it's just the same phone.

  • keypads are hard to press specially the # key. and when you are typing really fast, letters cant keep up with your speed. and sometimes, instead of getting the letters you want, you will get a different one. (software problem??)

  • i have actually seen this phone. And I can definitely say that i don't like it. The display is not that great. The screen, for me,is too small. I was going to buy this phone but when I tested it, i backed out.

  • don't buy this phone.iam useing it i have to change it's joystick 2 times in three months

  • i don't now

  • Ey Guys, Im planning to buy this phone before christmas, but im still undecided because I have no full accurate specifications of the phone, I know already that it is cheap and can play mp3 files. But i want more actual usage comments and reviews from you guys, can WMA files be played? does it have excellent stereo speakers and headset? I hope to your from you guys.

  • I'm planning to buy this phone due to its price and the mp3 are reasonable. but do you have any usage difficulties found in this phone? You said earlier that it the phone battery life only last for ONE day? (what do you mean? one day of continued mp3 playbacks and calls?

  • A CD Software must be included on your phone. Contact Motorola Philippines.

  • stated here that it has 3.5-mm audio jack but it is actually 2.5 mm.

  • it was stated with a 3.5 mm headset but how come my phone is only for 2.5 mm headset.

  • i had my w231 3 weeks ago.....it's nice...and affordable..but it has no free sd card or memory card when i bought it at sm fairview...isn't it unfair...and no installer included...how will i use it in downloading songs or music and pictures?i also couldn't browse...gprs is not allowed...why? when you buy motorola w23 what accessories are included? when i bought it at about 3k i only have the cellphone, the earset and the charger...the manual,leaflet look-like and it's box..

  • if you want to learn fone hackings, join supeerchat.mob-space.com to find out how

  • just try to find proper information about Moto W231, i have plan to buy it,due to limited budget.. hopefully this handset will not disappoint me.

  • Where can I find my recorded files in this phone? That's something I can't figure out.

  • Why Motorola people decided not to release W231 in India. I am waiting for this one from long back, only bcoz it has 3.5 mm audio jack. So that I can use my fav headsets. Finally it is Motorola loss, they are allowing others to captures the market in low segment.

  • Its comfort to hold the mobile. Looking good. Audio clarity is nice.

  • Its an Superb Bugdet Mobile... Design is Something Different>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I Like Alot

  • to put your mp3 files and pictures to your phone heres what i did: 1. Download Motorola USB Charging Driver then install. 2. Format your micro sd card by going to menu-->settings-->initial set up-->format additional storage device (I'm using a CDR-King Micro SD Card 1Gb) 3. Then connect your phone to your pc using usb,someone post here that the only thing it does is it charges your phone,which is not in my case. I usually plug and unplug the usb until this info appears on my phone screen "Connect phone as storage device?" then press "Yes" and you can now drag/drop your fave music files and images in 128x128 format jpegs in your phones micro sd folder located on My Computer.

  • w231 is cool phone, i was bought w231 phone but when it connecting with PC not connected i use mpt 4.0. help me plzzzzz.... who was can used this phone for modem, send your answer to my email in [email protected]

  • Economical and user-friendly with a tune :) A must buy for those who wanted a phone for basic use. FM and MP3's works great with it also :)

  • wow! nice phone i have one i buy it earlier so nice

  • And about the shuffle and repeat functions, you have to click on "play all" for it to work. Playing individual songs in the list would just play that one song. It would also create an additional button in the menu "now playing".

  • 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?

  • it is now available here in the philippines.. i've seen a lot in stores today.. yes! its sleek design is nice... very handy phonew and im plannig to buy one... the price would range from 2700 to 3000 pesos...

  • thanks so much "ask me" :D this one helped me alot!!

  • 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".

  • even the repeat and shuffle doesn't work on the setup. help me please!!! contact me through my email, [email protected] or [email protected] did i do something wrong? or is it naturally like this?

  • help... it doesn't play to another song automatically. i downloaded mp3 files. once i play a song, it finishes and once it does, the next song doesn't go after. is it really like this? isn't there anyway to configure this setup? i have to like skip the songs once they finish! help me out please.. i'm begging you... ( i guess i'm just pretty lazy myself )

  • I just want to ask if how can I configure my fone W231 for GPRS settings since I have tried to do it however its not working

  • Pa english2x pa kayo kala ko may mga hacker d2 e isa wala. I can browse free without load using this phone it last two days battery life i think ur battery from china.

  • How can you sure it doesn't support java midp using w231 i download 900 games plus opera,teashark,ucweb,qeep,googlemaps and online games like tibiame i think you guys using w230

  • 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.

  • how can u format your micro sd using your w231?? plzz im begging!!

  • 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.

  • Please answer..... Anybody who has already using this phone,,,, is this phone really support java? Could we instal java apps and games in this phone??? Such as ebuddy or operamini?? Please answer!!! I want to buy this phone!! Thanx..

  • 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.

  • guys! i followed your advice but unfortunately my w231 can't read any mp3 files I saved in my memory card. it keeps on displaying the no file in specific folder. What must I do to enjoy its mp3 player feature? Thanks

  • i just bought mine tonight at sm megamall, w230 and w231 is basically the same fone. poolgreg, you must first format your new memory card using the fone. if you have done it, u can upload your songs to the music folder,

  • is this motorola w230 in different case???

  • hey help me.i just bought this phone.i also bought a card reader and microSD at Cd-r King.I saved my files in the microSD card but i didn't see files that i had downloaded.i hope someone could help me.pls. email me at [email protected] a lot for the help in advance.i need it badly.

  • I�m agree with you... this phone is not an upgrade of the w230 because ofthe micro sd cappacity, which is vey important in a low-end music phone.... bad for thos phone... :(

  • Thank you Jotacouves. Still thinking if I'm going to buy the Sandisk or a different brand because Sandisk is way more expensive than the likes.

  • Yes, it supports 2 Gb cards. Motorola prefers Sandisk, but any kind works

  • Question, does the W231 supports a 2GB Sandisk microSD? It's really confusing, phone specification says only microSD (TransFlash), up to 1 GB supported. How come? Anino mentioned he used an Apacer 2GB. Can it really support a 2GB Sandisk microSD? Hope someone could answer my question...

  • Mw231 is bzt phone i am waiting for w231 i like Motorola

  • For those who are having a hard time uploading MP3 into their microSD cards,here are the steps how it's done: 1. Buy a microSD card. Moto advises using Sandisk , but mine is an Apacer 2 GB. 2. Use a card reader to connect your microSd to your computer. I used a USB cable and it just wouldn't work. The USB port must be strong enough to handle your cards.So I recommend a PC desktop. 3. Once your PC reads your card, save pics ( maximum of 75 to 80 KB, and music like what you do in your memory stick. Don't use USB cable!!! No need to download the Moto USB driver.

  • The price is higher than W230 which is better in spec. For me, W230 is in and if ever the replacement cover are available, so much the better.. The W230 can handle the 2Gb memory with so much ease. Mine is almost full and up to now, I never experienced any hanging whatsoever...

  • hi! im mervin please send me a software for w231 to detect it from computer, even it didnt have a memory...please send it to my [email protected]

  • Hi I'm Jhonnie pls send me a software for w231 so that I can connect it to my computer...thanks

  • hey Skeet_skeet, is it capable of running java applications?

  • I got this last night for 50 dollars and so far, I've been liking it. Comparing it to Nokia's high-end phone is pathetic.The keypad is small, but comfy enough to text unless you stand 6 feet and higher (long fingers then). The built and style are way way better than other brands' low end phones! Thank you Moto for incorporating Crystal Talk. It is very good at making calls. SMS maximum character numbers is 750.

  • Hello everybody,This is Joseph ,I just bought the motorola w231,I really appreciate the design of this fone and very practical because there's an mp3 and fm radio,also its very accurate and easy to use,and the price is reasonable its very simple but elegant and its not bulky .Thanks Motorola .I love this fone ..let me know if you have new model.send me an email [email protected]

  • Got mine today. easy to use and very cheap too. only P3000 for an extra phone. the mp3 is nice with the expandable memory. what can more you ask for your cash.

  • I hate the keypad. I easilly get tired of texting while using this phone. This phone is good for those people who only needs a decent mp3 player and for call and text.

  • This is the best phone in the world!! It can barely make a call...lol

  • i think this is a good phone. Straight to the point . no frills no thrill and no need pay extra money phone. I think if u are comparing this to phones like e71(nokia), roker E8, SE walkman phone etc or Iphone, i think u dun look at things in it perspective. this is a low tier phone. meant to reach out to those 1) dun have the cash for an $$ phone, 2) for elders who dun give a damn to how many program u can download into the phone, 3) ppl like NS man(me) who wanna store 1 or 2 gb of song into it and phone with FM radio to help past time. looks reasonable and cheap enuff.4) the rural folks in many country.5)a man who jus need a phone . its small enough to put in any pocket. its tough enough. for a few knocks. reception is good. the speaker is good enough the MP3 player are good. one complain though, why the hell is it using a 2.5mm jack (some one says its 3.5) took me some time to ransack my things to find a earphone

  • Looks like a reject from the Nokia factory...

  • I hope same price of MW230!. When its going to be available in the philippines??? How much is it!??

  • I hope same price of MW230!

  • No battrey becuk normal talktime not user freindly

  • This phone must be for people who don't use their phone a lot. When I read down the DATA, all I saw was NO(except for USB). Why is Motorola making all these low-end phones? I want 3G, slim and sexy!!

  • good set but battery bakup is very dam

  • I won't buy it because I cant send anything to my friends via bluetooth and the keys might be stiff and hard to press

  • Hello Friends, My friend using Motorola w230, Mobile is good but battery very dam. Its only 1.30 hrs when you are using Music player. So I am looking next version w231 plzz inform me friends, as soon as possible how is the Battery

  • how about the battery life? how long does it lasts while listening to its mp3?

  • I have sympathy for you, and I'm betting the next move will be offering a 3.5mm jack for W270 as W271 (or whatever)...which my father-in-law is using. I don't agree with the strategy of making minor upgrades and keep releasing "so called new phones" every week! However, releasing dozens of models every month seems to be part of the reason why certain almighty brand succeeds, so others are trying to follow...(look at everybody else, don't they release simialr phones with minor upgrades?) Personally I prefer ex-top-of-the-line phones over so called "new entry" phones, like Moto K1 over W510..

  • I dont see a reason for this one; though Memory card; Java; 3.5mm Jack and GPRS in a entry level is sweet. I dont understand why Moto had to release two almost similar phones like this. I have a W230 which as almost similar to this; they could have directly intoduced the features into this model that I have. In the end its expensive for them itself.

  • 3.5mm jack, in entry level phone awsome just awsome i am with u motorola i love u

  • it's good for NSmen! haha, we can't bring phones with camera into our camps while service in the army. and this phone has an mp3 player, which is relatively valid for a non-camera phone. i like the keypad btw. haha

  • Unless this phone costs about $30 unlocked, I can't see why anyone would want it.

  • all i can say after seeing the specs of this mobile phone is uuuuh!! what??

  • its just like a toy

  • With this shape...looks like vertu hah :)

  • Hey everybody if you hadn't notice this is almost like the W230 with a 1.

  • A Motorola with � la Sony Ericsson numeric keys :)
