does simunlock mean to unlock your phone so any carriers sim card will work in the phone? I used it thinking it was for the sim card errors people get when rebooting the phone but I realized thats not it. sorry if this question seems obvious. I already have an unlocked phone so maybe thats why i dont know what you mean by sim unlock

Hi everyone,
Been a while since I posted on here, been busy with school and work and trying to start up a business so you know how it is. I got a problem with one of my MPX200's lately. My voicemail icon on the external screen will not show up. I have another MPX200 and it always worked fine on there with windows mobile 2002, this phone has 2003 and for some reason the vm icon just doesnt show up on the external screen. inside it shows up fine. Sorry if this issue has been tackled but I tried to search for an answer and couldn't find anything on it. maybe a registry fix? All other icons work fine missed call icon shows up fine battery icon is fine just not the dang voicemail icon.
anyone got a solution?

p.s. if theres a solution already posted on the forums please redirect me :-)

I'm having the same exact problem... very very annoying. I'm having the issue on my windows mobile 2003 on my MPX200. anyone found a solution yet? there's nothing in the startup folder in the storage either so I'm guessing maybe its a registry setting that needs to be cleaned out? Anyone have a solution?

I had heard of some people getting a faulty headset with the mpx200, sounds weird and unprofessional on motorolas part but eh i guess. I had a problem with my headset too when i bought my mpx and ended up ordering another on ebay, turned out to be perfect and even got rid of the famous "dropped calls" issue that some people are experiences with the headset. So most likely its the headset piece thats faulty but then again it can be the O.S., might wanna try a reset first (both soft and hard reset) i mean hey you never know right? afterall it is Microsoft on our little buddy...

I noticed that sometimes when you make an outgoing call and then plug in the headset you cant hear anything and when this happens basically I just press the back button and then voila! it works... and then all you do is press call progress to go back to the call screen... I think this is a 2002 specific issue but its worth a try :?:

really? i can do that? well obviously i can but how much would that be? and how?

what a waste of 10 dollars... the whole thing is all plastic and the color of the inside isnt even the same color... its a lighter color. it wont fit at all all the holes are different.. anyone have any suggestions?

thats weird, the web works regardless for me no matter what web site i go to, not just ones made for mobiles.

ohhh but your in malaysia... this guy on ebay sells world wide ebay dummy case im the current high bidder, i accidently bid on more then one phone so your welcome to outbid me... actually please do if u can i dont really need it since I have another coming on its way

I just ordered a dummy case off ebay... so u might wanna check there. or maybe even go to the att store see if they have anymore left because they do sometimes. it turned out to be around 10 bucks. I stripped the phone to prepare and be ready, not that hard at all, THANKS AWARNER! wish me luck! i should have the dummy by thursday hopefully

that 900mhz batter is 3.7v, motorolas battery is 3.6v... is that ok?? because having past experiences and knowlege, even .1v can screw electronics up. if all is fine, im ready to buy it too off ebay

does anyone know what kind of paint matches close to the interior paint on the mpx200? I wanna redo some scuffs near where i went to take off the att logo. so anyone have any clue what paint matches closest or hopefully even perfectly??? and also I ordered a display model dummy phone of the mpx200, anyone have a clue if the body is the same as the actual phone?

man, sorry it doesn't help wm2003 users , but atleast it helps ppl like me who have smartphone 2002 still and who need the software again.

well i dont know if they made their own, because the file says jmms but I put a new post for this since this particular post can be left alone for the original question, it contains the italian motorola site link where I have downloaded it from. hopefully im not doing anything illegal and I havent linked the file directly to be on modaco's good side
my post:

hi dont know if i can do this on here.. but its not a direct download link but here:
http://www.motorola.it/download/programmi.asp

right there they have right off of the motorola italian site the download for an mms software. in my remove programs list it comes up as motorola mms software or something like that but the file says jmms. so for those of you, as myself who had originally purchased the phone with the software and have lost it after a hard reboot.. I guess this is perfectly legal to post the site that contains the download. forgive me if I'm doing something illegal on this forum.. But im only redirecting you to the link on motorola that contains the link to the software...
again sorry if i have violated anything

im confused I downloaded a motorola mms software from somewhere, I could've sworn i downloaded it from the motorola site or something like that... uhhh oops? did i download something else? the remove programs section in the mpx200 says motorola mms software.. is that the same as the jmms?

did you want to browse wirelessly on like a computer by using your phone as a modem? is that what you mean or did you want to browse on your phone? sorry if you made it obvious and i just didnt notice

keyword.. "myself"

didn't find a solution to this but when i tried to send a mms to myself, I got a text back from T-mobile saying "your friend... can only receive text messages. your picture message was delivered as.." so does that mean t-mobile users can't recieve mms? is there any way to fix this?

yeah I would consider that a backup battery too. I mean thats what it does, backs up the time and simple info like that. Same as with many other products like my calculator, the backup batter is there to help retain info int he calc. Once i let my calculator sit for a few years without giving it a new battery and sure enough the memory that i put into the calculator was erased. I'm pretty sure the same goes for these phones, and as far as the 90% indicator, could be possible that the battery doesnt drain too quickly as with all those "watch type" batteries, and the backup battery is only going ot take action once the main battery is completely drained and even if your phone doesnt turn on because the battery is drained doesnt mean every bit of the battery is drained theres always some juice left in there. it just doesnt have enough power to turn on but it will have enough power to keep everything "alive". because when i mean completely drained i mean COMPLETELY drained which is very very very rare.
another possibility could be that the backup recovers once the main battery is back in or once you charge your phone. and maybe thats why it shows 90% because i have read somewhere that when you recharge a battery thats not a rechargeable, you cannot recharge it 100% or else itll start to leak if it goes anymore, you can however charge it less then 100%. once your phone is drained your not able to see if your phone is using the backup so we actually never know if that 90% drops

oh boy... another long post by me... sorry... lol, guess I wrote another book, I'll publish this one in paperback.

here read my post on the headset issue... dont know if it'll help or if you already fixed the prob but I figured some things out about the phone..
click here!!

actually yeah.. and actually its more then the 220 could handle. I was surprised at how the 220 doesn't handle as much as the 200. the 200 is reviewed by various sites and said by motorola to handle sd cards up to 1 gig! MAN THATS A LOT! yeah it defiinately can do 1 gig and theres tons of great deals on 1 gig cards lately so hey you might as well go for it... unless your a broke college boy like me :cry: ... however performance wise, i would assume smaller cards will have quicker access, I can be wrong though.

yup its gonna be available in both paperback and hardcover, itll be called wasyed's mpx200 annoying headset success. hehe wow i didnt realize it was that long... hopefully itll help people out though.

hey not sure if this issue has been addressed but i read a couple of your topics and didn't notice anyone who fixed the headset problem.. but this is what happened to me. when i first recieved my phone with the stereo headset it often dropped calls as many of you have been experiencing. so then i found out that whenever i jiggle the headset is when it actually loses connection and drops the call. some people thought it was just when the phone is closed some people thought it was just when it was open. but i noticed that once in a while when i hit a bump in the car it loses the connection. thats when i figured HEY jiggle the headset while its in the socket and see what happens... and sure enough it lost the connection with who i was talking to.
then I thought to myself hmmm what if i try another headset that did not come with the phone. so i tried my old mono motorola v66 headset... again same problem :evil: . and then I found my mono jabra headset I purchased seperately a while ago (not the same supplied to some of you from at&t who are still having the problem) and with the jabra... WOW it works! i jiggled, hung the phone from the headset, wiggled some more, and still never lost a connection. it works perfectly.. and has been for the past week. and then today i recieved in the mail another stereo headset that I accidently ordered on ebay (thinking my phone wasnt going to come with one). the same exact oem version that comes with the phone (model SYN9870A) but what the heck?? it works... i jiggled and wiggled and danced around and tried shaking the socket a little bit... and still the phone didnt drop the call. and then I put back the old one that came with the phone and as I thought it lost the call when i moved the headset around.. but the exact same one i got off ebay works fine?
So, sorry to make this story long but it apears that the original headset supplied with some mpx200's just dont fit in the socket as well as its supposed to. So anyone still having a problem i recommend you get another headset or take your chances with one of the OEM ones available on ebay. but please dont blame me if it doesnt work. and again sorry if this issue was already solved
Did this help anyone else?? or has this issue already been solved and im just a little lost? :?

Now that is what i call an excellent player.. wow even has some good settings im impressed! lol got any "well if you like that, you'll definately like...." type stuff? i know i know, im greedy.. i just loooove this phone
