Hi People,

Been trying for over a week to buy a backup battery for my poor old MPx200, googled all over the UK, mailed several battery suppliers, none of whom have even bothered to reply, it's a Sanyo ML614 which is lithium manganese-dioxide re-chargeable 3V.

In desperation I mailed this company in the States who only seem to deliver to the States, WRONG, they not only answered my queery the same day, [today] shipping charges are only $3-00 total price $8-50.

Hopefully this will save members loads of time looking for odd batteries.

Hi Guys,

My 200 was loosing date and time when the main battery was pulled, and I've moved on to a V3x for about 6 months, however my wife needs an upgrade, so out with the 200 for her, it's dead, main battery has 3.8 volts, that should be ok, so I've followed the guide and got to the backup battery, it's a SANYO ML614, went to several watch/jewellers, the've never heard of it.

It's not surprising, it's a lithium MANGANESE dioxide re-chargeable 3V, NOT a button cell, all the jewellers said bring the battery in and we can supply an equivalent, I don't recommend putting a non-rechargeable battery in a charging slot.

Sanyo has supplied a phone No for a UK distributor, will try this AM and let you know.

Nope, no good, unless I want 500 of them, does anyone know a retail outlet in the UK for them, I've seen one in the States but they don't ship abroad, I've also googled around without success.

Try this Uk site, I bought an Mpx battery for under £10-00 GBP.

when it arrived it was 1100mAH's

Hi,
If you're any good with an iron, [ no, not a five iron] cut the cable above the answer button/mic, or just cut the buds off and solder a 3.5 in line stereo socket on it, that way you'll be able to plug any h/phones into it.
Get the connector from Maplins.

Hi,
you can get a battery from here in the UK, but you'll need to check the postage cost.

Hi,
Several of my friends have had the same problem with SMS, every time they've lost or changed the message centre number, you'll need to check it.

Hi,
I'm not as upmarket as a Vario, but our phone used to die if you left IR turned on, have you switched something on similar and it doesn't auto turn off.

Hi,
I seem to remember something about Orange not recognising my IMIE, I think you have to have logged onto the internet at least once before it'll work, and it's not immediate.
Correct me if I've given bumph info.

PS. to show your IMIE No dial *#06#

Hi,
First prog. I tried was Partition Magic 8 didn't see the card at all, tried partition manager trial ver. saw the card but wouldn't let me at it.

Just upgraded to WM5 that only sees the first gig.

WM 2003

Hi,
Just put a Sandisk 2 gig card in my mpx200, system info shows card storage as 951.01 MB, so, it looks as though even using 2003, 1gig is the limit.

Next step will be to partition it into 2 x 1gigs, and see what happens, unless someone's already tried, and can let me know before I total it.

Weeell, that's one part of an answer, my partitioning s/ware doesn't see the card in my reader, [it is quite an old prog], will have to find another way.

Hi,
To get a meaningfull reply you need to be more device specific, smartphone 2002 covers all of the older phones.

Hi gmscarlett, the mail you sent had a duff address, sent a reply and it bounced, if you send it again I'll re-send the MMS software.

Um, you're not far wrong, all I can tell you about my setup disk is that the label say's Smartphone 2002 GSM w/Outlook 2000 SR1.

jMMSBuild63_21Oct_Orange, size 792KB,

E-mail address removed.

Hi,
I tried T-Mobile and couldn't pick up a signal, try moving house until you get a signal, then the roamer should go.

Hi,
Flight mode turns the radio OFF [flight mode], so the phone won't communicate and interfere with the aircrafts instrumentation.
On my 200 a one second push [maybe two seconds] on the power button accesses the quick menu, then scroll down to loud and press select.

Hi,
Easy answer, try installing an app. on it like Jeyo personaliser, you'll soon find out.

Hi,
awarner is right as always, [I creep well] but orange said "remove the sim card as well, they didn't say why, the other thing you could try is remove the SD card and try a hard reset.
Good luck.

Hi,
It does come from the supplied CD, when the splash screen opens it's under entertainment.
Good Luck.

P.S. use autorun to start it.

Hi,
You need Homescreen designer and frame dot net.

If it doesn't turn on at all, it's probably broke, but you can try,start>9>1>9>8 gets you through to phone settings, I use ext.lcd style 2 with the contrast set to 0.
This lights up the ext.lcd for about 5 secs, but a dab on the on/off button lights it back up, it's not very bright though.

Yes, well, checking it out didn't do a lot to make me want to rush out and buy one, perhaps it lost a little in translation !

Hi,
Can't see how you're short of space with a one gig card, there's enough room for approx, 20 hours of music.
Convert all your music to 48 kbits/sec, [no one I know can hear the difference through headphones] that will reduce the size of the files by at least half, then, as the MPX200 will only use .WAV files for ringtones and alerts, trim your selected ringtone to about 10/15 seconds, [not far short of a Meg !], and put the whole lot onto your storage card in a directory called "sounds", create it if there isn't one, then, install a free program called Jeyo Personaliser on the phone, it selects the .WAV files for ringtones and lets windows media player on the phone find the MP3 or WMA music, but if you then go back into settings\sounds the phone then reverts to the bog standard tones, so you have to go back into Jeyo and reset them all again.

Hi,
Had ringtone probs with an E100, providing I stuck with Jeyo Personaliser the ringtones worked OK, the minute I went back into >settings>sounds they all reverted back to the bog standard ones, neccesitating [thats a good word @ 05-30] re-entering Jeyo and re-setting them all.

Hi,
Same as you, but I've an older phone, MPx200, I use windows explorer to drag and drop WMA files onto my SD card via a card reader, less hassle.
