Can i use this phone as modem to connect internet.

Dear Avinash,
I own MotoYuva W230 and am also struggling to do the same.
The W230 seems to have builtin modem.
First of all we need to install the drivers from www.motorola.com/support/w230 and download the file from link USB modem drivers. Install it and it will create a virtual COM port for the modem.
Open HyperTerminal and try to connect to the port it. You can check the actual port number from "device manager" on WinXP.
Once you connect it will say "AT command Interpreter ready"
Here you can give commands
at cgatt
OK
at cgact
OK
at cgdata
OK
after last command if your GPRS is active, the icon on topline will change to connected.
This hints to presence of GPRS modem but I am still not able to connect using my phone.
Please update anyone can indicate way forward.

I purchased this phone from Global Access in Bangalore on Feb 25. I am repenting my decision every day. Do not buy if you have ever used a Nokia. The user interface on Motorola W230 YUVA is Disastrous to say the least. Many menu commands do not work. For example Recent Calls > select > view > store does not respond. There are many such commands which simply do not respond. When you enter a contact, it comes up with dictionary mode to enter name! Messaging is a tedious experience. To put a full stop it takes seven key strokes! Very unpredictable behavior. Music player is so-so. You cannot select a song and expect it to continue to play from there on. You need to press PLAY button every time a song gets over, manually select next and press PLAY! There is no missed call list. You have to look at the received call list and look for which ones are checked and which ones are not to figure out missed calls. Every day i am finding a new anomaly in this phone. Motorola needs to update its user interface, it is pre-historic user interface Keys strokes respond very slowly. Takes ages to type. Just to type ‘no’ it takes more than 2seconds. Motorola does not respond to emails to customer care. No response to any complaints anywhere. I want to sell it for half the price.

I want to use my Motorola W230 as USB modem for internet browsing in my PC through GPRS service Reliance Smart. Unable to do so after installing the motorola usb_driver_32.zip. Please help and send procedure. Thanks.

We are having Nokia and Motorola mobile hand sets. Nokia has good battery back-up and I have bad experience with Motorola hand sets so far as battery back-up is concerned. The model is very good, but battery back-up is very poor. I have recently purchased this Moto Yuva W230 mobile set having thought that Motorola might have improved its battery performance. Thogh the model is good, it is sorry to say that nothing has been done for improving performance of battery. And also sorry to say that Motorola will not be my future mobile hand set, it is for sure.

I completely agree with Ajay for the battery comment... Battery is very very pathetic... It is only shown in the manuals & advertisements that it can be used for so many hours, but in reality it is not the case.... I am a first time user of Motorola & hope this is the last time, bcos of the battery... Otherwise the phone is very good...

i dont understand why i cant access the songs that i downloaded in the fone using my computer .!!!...somebdy please tell me how to do it !!!..though i can put those songs as my ringtone..please help...

here is, first you have to change your music from wmp to mp3, then your phone is ready to read an play your music ¨¨...

i can not connect my phone to the pc completely.i can not copy the folders to my w230

THis is v.good phone better than any equivalent nokia .1.For ones info= this can only play mp3 coded music, canot play wma files so donot load any songs in wma and complain. I have used nokias and found very slow than motorola 230
This is a very fast phone in terms of user interf ace except in recieved calls.
They should combine calls made and recieved in single window with arrows marking in or out. Higher than 90kb pictures can not be displayed.
You can make folders of diff.kinds of music and play seperately or in shuffle mode. Audio quality is excellent compared to Nokias of same price.
Head phones are better designed for better low end piped design than Nokia head phone of similar variety.
Battery is excellent better than Nokia entry level phones of same price.
It comes with usb cable ,usb charger,some with 256 mb card and some without at lower price.Better buy without 256 mb card and add on with 1 gb card.
Screen is let down in terms of resolution but wait,,for for Rs 2600 incl vat at Bangalore (sept 20th2008) is a steal.and 2.5 mm head phone socket shoul dhave been with 3.5mm ,so any one can plug with any high end h.phones or connect to amps. Switches feel is also better tahn earlier w220 ,w180 ,c168 phones.

I buy this phone in may 2008 but facing USB cable driver problem Plz help me where i get this driver

This is not the case with my phone.
1.You need not press play everytime make folder and play alll songs.It plays all songs in sequence.
2.If you play all songs before folder it plays all folders.
3.I find this phone much faster than Nokia, where you have usual yes no tick marks, though not as fast as ericcsons
4.Buy it without Memory card , for Rs 2600 incl.vat at Blore.Add a card 1 gb for Rs 300 incl Vat -sandisk, you get a better deal
5.Big let down is screen resolution and no dark light control .
6.Can not load bigger jpg files more tan 50kb
7.Can play only mp3 no window ma (mine is 10 version)
8.Convert mp3 128/320kpbs files into mp3 vbr with min 32 max around 90kpbs.You can carry much more music files without any loss in quality
for driving atleast to match wma with vbr

9.They should give 3.5mm head socket as universal this 2.5 is a bit problem you canot use better quality philips or senneiser earphones
nor you can connect to any amps.
10.You canot load phone book thorugh PC in to flash card.
11. Size is still bigger could I would have disigned better

my phone is not get detected in the pc after installing the drivers.what to do

Xavier John : I have Purchased the MotoYuvaW230 & I want to know whether i can download songs without any additional memory card because i did'nt purchase the memory card thinking that for the time being i can download two three songs with the internal memory available in the phone, but i am unable to do so can i get solution to this problem whether i have to bye the card for downloading the songs.

hi, please note USB device provided only connects with External Memory card and not to phone. So, it would be useless if you have not bought Memory card.

I have recently purchased W230. The problem with the phone is when I am charging through charger it is giving me intermittent beeps which is very irritating. While charging through USB it performs OK. Can anybody suggest some solution.
