  • how can i buy new battery for my vodafone? in which market will i find such battery? its very rare...

  • This is the site where you can download the "Beat Engine Box". I put the Vodafone 803t model here because this site were it's still working. You can only install it on windows xp operating system. After you install this, you should put your existing phone number that you have using in your phone because you can't play those music that you've converted in the beat engine box. If you change your phone number, you just simple change the phone number in the computer after that, update you beat engine in your phone.

Tx.

  • High quality for Japanese market but there are some disappointments: 1/ The contacts list is my nightmare, 2/ on receiving a new sms I can see only the sender's cell phone number even though the number already exists in the phone and on sim.

  • hi there! we the same unit of toshiba but i cannot play mp3 format? and can i possibly download the software that enabling my unit to be used here in the philippines? thanks

  • Just got my hands on this 904T (canyon red) for just two weeks now, installing mp3 is not a problem, just need the beat engine box and couple of instructions, and the correct phone number on the settings menu. also, the beat engine box does not support all bitrates, usually, the songs that i load are 128kbps, with sampling of 44.1khz, 192kbps with sampling rate of 44.1khz, 48kbps with sampling rate of 32khz..those were the tested bitrates so far. and its good just like my 803T before. the only thing that is annoying is the Writing Language, it automatically sets itself to T9 english or japanese. no normal multitap, you still need to select from the Input method. for the phonebook entry, you need to re-edit every single entry if you just copied it from a simcard, then select the search method (By reading) this way, the phone searches for the last name of the entry. for the beat engine box, try to check the CD that comes with the unit, otherwise, contact me. [email protected] regarding games, until now, i cant make it work... maybe there's a trick in installing java games on this phone. enjoy

  • To whom that can not play mp3 Firstly, find the "my detail"sub-menu in the "phonebook" menu then open it and input your mobile number in the "phone number"tab secondly, using the phone to format the mini sd(setting------>memory settting---------->memory card---------->format card) thirdly, run beat engine, click tools then click settings then add same mobile number then you can transfer the music to your phone but watch out, there are a bunch of restriction on file format(less than 192kbps etc.) so some file still can not be read by phone.

  • hi.. can somebody help me on how to use my mp3 with this phone... pls....

  • hey.. i dont know how to install mp3's.. some suggested to convert the fiile.. pls help..

  • it's anybody know how to install this phone's software? i had lost my cd installer.. can i download from the internet?

  • As far as i found in the Toshiba 904t it is fine though lack of ease in usage. I got problems with MP3 Playback. It was saying that it cannot playback MP3's inserted by beat engine. To solve the MP3 playback problem in toshiba 904t my suggession is below. Please confirm your phone number in Beat Engine software. When inserting MP3 it encrypts the mp3 by the phone number. The number must be in the format as stored in the USIM. I am sure you shall not get any more problem with MP3 playback. I found lots of people asked about setting MP3 as ringtone. It is not possible to set MP3 in Toshiba 904t as ringtone there as far as I found.

  • if you have your beat engine, click tools then click settings then add this number+1804xxxxxx the "X" is your phone number then that's all... enjoy your listening....

  • if you want to put ringtone, convert all your files to .AMR...it'll work...

  • Does anybody know it support mp3 files as ringtone?

  • I also made sure that my phone numbr is typed in correctly in the beat engine box' software tool and the size of the mp3 is less than 192 (it's actually 182kbps..) still "This file cannot be played" error shows... Someone please help!!

  • The phone is really good. I have nothing against it... The only thing that i am having problem with the phone is about it's mp3 player. I have the software and I can convert files to a file that will be supported by the phone but I can't still play it on my phone.. Can someone please help? Please? email me please at [email protected]

  • now my cam is busted!!!!!!!!!!!

  • if u want hear mp3 or mp4 in toshiba 904t,use beat engine software and if u want convert mp3 to mmf or smaf u can use wav to smaf software.

  • WARNING - MP3 player is *not* Mac compatible. Extremely annoying as this is a necessary second function of a phone for me. Have searched websites for a workaround. Only one so far seems to be running XP on my Mac.. not an option! I'm not going to install an entirely different O/S just to copy some MP3s to my phone!! The phone won't recognise them if I drag & drop... they must be transferred using the software (I tried placing them in a number of different folders). Please provide some Mac support Toshiba!!!

  • i got the phone about a week ago i still cant figure out the ez way to text and contact search by typing leter, i wonder whos is idea or software manufactor design this phone..only nice about this phone is 3.15mp camera, otherwise i would love to flash it in my smallest room in my house,

  • Hi there, I am using this phone for the last month but I always have difficulties to syncronise with my win xp !!! Its reconising and connecting but always after inizialing sync progress an error occurs ! Anybody some suggestions ? thanks

  • to those who cannot listen to songs in your 904T, in beat engine..you need to go to settings and type in your sim card phone number FULLY! than make sure ur mp3s are max 192kps thn you can listen to them. =)

  • i have been using this phone for the past 3 months now. it IS bulky and you start to feel it after a while. there are some limitations with viewing pictures and you can also edit the pictures as well. i swap the sd card into my digital camera, take my picture and then put back the mini sd card into my camera and then email the picture. also if you find a converter program you can convert your downloaded movies from the internet into a format for the toshiba phone. i have some episodes of sopranos on my phone as well. the only thing that i am stuck with is installing java programs on this phone. it just doesnt recognize the programs. if you have any suggestions please email me.

  • Hm this is where nokia takes the closed design of the N93, but i think it's more powerful than any nokias combined even without OS. wonderful piece or innovation!

  • how to set as mp3 ringtone..? i tried a lot of time but still cannot set it as ringtone.. wut do i need to install to set mp3 as ringtone.. i already convert the ringtone to 128or less than 193kbps but still doesnt work..

  • This is the best phone I've ever had, it's rare to see a phone with a GPS receiver, feliCa, answerphone and imbedded QRcode scanner in where I live

  • You can see my thoughts are faster than my typing. "Would not buy this phone again if LOST"

  • The phone's software is very sluggish. response to keypresses in menus is NOT instant. Far too many confirmation screens. For example "Pin number entered correctly. Press OK to continue". "English input has been selected. Press OK to continue." These unnecessary keypresses in addition to the sluggish response time makes the phone time consuming to use. Cannot rename address book categories. Must keep the defaults. Also annoying. Would not buy this phone again if locked. ONly plus was I bought it from Vodafone (Softbank) Japan, and they do not unlock the phones for use with an overseas provider. (They had shopowners arrested and charged for unlocking their phones, whereas apparently vodafone australia will themselves unlock your phone for free).

  • this phone is probably one of the biggest phones i'd ever seen. i bought it off ebay for $300 and sold it back. it's not worth it. there's plenty of other phones twice as small that could do twice as more as this phone that are out there.

  • Could anyone please tell me the video resolution, the FPS and the video format?thanks

  • to joko you just go to the dia- fum -fum valve, in meniu should work look for te farting meniu then press shiting black sticking, ok let me no if it works 18686742842..

  • >>Tra Ngo Dinh Thats business! U can only play Mp3s that are downloaded straight from vodafone's wapsite...try converting it to mp4 use iTunes if u don't have any converter, its free and super simple >>to the moron This phone is better than nokia, samsung, moto or SE Its functions are more advance, and by the way, Sharp is Better than this phone!

  • I'm from Vietnam too, all Toshiba phones can play mp3 now and you have to install new mp3 player.I've just bought Toshiba 803 and enjoy mp3 function properly and greatly. If you cannot install software by yourself, just bring it to mobile shop. [email protected]

  • I'd buy one Toshiba 904T in Vietnam. Most of Funtions is good, camera is excellent and I like it. But I don't understand why my phone can't see and can't reading mp3 file, it's can read and play .amr only. That't reason why my phone is not mp3 Player. Anyone can help me, tell me about that problem. How should I do now? Thanhk you very much for your reply. Regard. Tra Ngo Dinh, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

  • can anyone help me? what sofware do ihave to use to convert MP3 to SMAF or any kind of format that suite for 904T that can be use for ringtones?

  • You must be high, this phone is 10 times better than any motorola or samsung, it also tops most of the Nokia phones except for N series

  • It is better than the boring Sharp phones. Still, it is not comparable with the other Nokia, Moto or Samsung, but it does something hard on the OS. Unlike Sharp, keep putting outdated CGS screen and Casio CCD len on the phone and pretending a high class product will finally go to the end.

  • to you TOSHIBA,you need to learn more from SHARP,

  • Why i cant play the mp3 even if I used the beat engine software..it tells that it cannot be played what seems to be the problem? anybody please help....

  • what kind of software can I install for gps navigation in europe ? (zenrin its-monavi is ONLY for japan !)

  • Well, my dad had the 902T, its pretty similar to this one but i have to say the toshiba phones are not good for multimedia(camera,mp3,etc) mp3 is too much work to convert all that stuff when SE and Nokia phones where you can just drag and send. Well the camera, it's not the best for a 3.2mp.. i'd choose the 903Sh or k790/k800 over this one for sure..

  • RE: 979 it supports mp3 ringtones.... it has to be 192kbps or less to playback...

  • Can some one tell me if this uses MP3 as ringtones? I found it that most of times the spec says one thing, but in reality it doesn't support mp3 ringtones, or there is catch to it where mp3 ringtions are supported if certain format or size is correct, or loading it by certain program or softwares. thanks

  • 904sh wont be unlock for another 5 years... the design is great actually but the camera is a cmos which is not that good.... the 5 little things are button at the top of the flipped phone.....also there are two more buttons @ the earpiece...just for playing games :P

  • by far, the best phone i ever tried is Siemens, but this one i bought bcoz it looked cool =D the goods : it's cool, the stereo sounds great (unless u converted it from a bad quality mp3), it has 6 options for surround and equalizer, it has a 15 sec answering machine (but it's in japanese), battery last quite long when you listen to songs with your earpiece, can scan QR codes and can pay with your SIM (well, only common in japan i guess), can take multiple shot (but low quality pics), it records wht you write in T9 (dynamic lybrary), etc bads : cant play mp3 ringtones, cant play mp3 directly (have to use beat engine to convert), T9 always on in writing (push and hold * to disable T9), cant make SMS more than 160 char (it changes to MMS), cant receive MMS for non-vodafone user, gps positioning is using BTS

  • i rather buy sharp 904 IF UNLOCKED

  • This is probably one of the worst phones I've ever had. The phone is only good for Japanese users. It's just too complicated. Has many features, but they are only good for people in Japan/Taiwan/China. The camera quality is not very good, because it has a CMOS sensor. My sharp 902 takes better pictures than this one. And also, you have to use the Beat software that comes with it in order for you to transfer mp3 to your miniSD card. Overall, the clamshell is pretty good, the features are good too BUT its good only for the JAPANESE market.

  • if i knew the ui is so retarded, i would hv opt for the sharp 705. smaller, simpler, n cool. the extra features that came w the 904t isn't work the extra weight n bulk.

  • you have to use the "beat engine" software to transfer mp3 to the phone. i can't get the phone to connect to my win xp pro notebook. nokia worked fine. i want to sync w my outlook contacts etc. anyone know how? i miss my nokia. these jap phones hv lots of catching up w nokia in terms of ui n sync w pc.

  • i got and unlocked one from ebay for $285. the size wasn't what I expected lol. it's probably the the biggest phone I ever had lol. i got a 1gb memory card. put a bunch of mp3 and some images. none of mp3s worked and all gif images wouldn't work because "image size is too large". those are the negatives so far. i will update later!

  • Heard from someone that the mp3 ringtone can only store a maximum size of 300k is it true?

  • well its great..i have been using it for a month its has no problem..it cant play mp3 but u must used beatengine to convert it...n the batt is 880mah...but if in sms it cant turn off the t9 function..its a problem for me...i love the design only its too big..stereo sound its not bad...overall for me its a good phone....

  • The built-in MP3 player software has the 2 following functions: a 6-mode equalizer and a 6-mode surround... It has a stereo speaker as well. Menu and sms language only in English and Japanese. the 5 tiny buttons on the "Head" of the phone controls the mp3 player while the clamshell is closed, the keys can be locked if u wanna put the phone into your pocket...

  • Amazing fone, the coolest!!

  • By the way this phones got 3G! Fix the error! :)

  • As I know T-mobile doesn't support the GPS navigation service in America. Correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks!!

  • another cool phone from toshiba.... hope i`ll can buy sometime a toshiba fone :)
