Motorola MPx220

I have a problem with my GPRS connection hanging, whether checking for mail or web browsing. Typically I'll get the "connecting" message until the application times out. If I restart the phone (power cycle), things work again, but once I try the next application using GPRS, the connection hangs again.
Has anybody had this issue? Any ideas?
Thanks,
YG 😕

I'm researching the MPX220 and the SE Z500.
For me the issues are 1) battery life, 2) speakerphone clarity, and 3) voice dialing.
Can owners of the MPX220 comment on each?

What are the talk/standby times?
What type of usage above (i.e. heavy calls, txt msg, surfing etc...)
How clear is the speakerphone?
How accurate is the voice dialing?
How many "slots" for voice dialing.

Does the MPX220 sync w/ PC based Outlook data (contacts, appt, etc...) straight out of the box or are additional accesories needed?

Thanks in advance.

Hi All,

I have the $40/month unlimited data plan for my MPx220. What settings do I need for GPRS on Cingular (username/password/dial #) for the dial-up networking settings on a Win XP system to get it to use the moto phone as a modem via BlueTooth? The BT connection is fine but the data settings in Windows are not.

I've an ATT plan with MMode and with my previous Motorola 505 I could sent a short text or e-mail. My MPx220 does not have MMode. It supports short text messages but not e-mail except through an established mail account which does not appear to operate under my ATT plan. Is there a fix?

When I use my bluetooth ear piece it's very stratchy when i walk a few feet away from my phone and I can't use it. has anyone else had any problems with Bluetooth?????? I've tried the Jabra & HS810 and had the same results..

I also have software version 1.3.

My name's larry, my company's offering the mpx 220 for free (free out the door, no rebate required, no catch) with a one year contract, if you live in the Los angeles area, please give me a call, my number is 323-726-8400, and look for Larry.

I keep reading that this phone is unlocked from the factory. Is this true? I see alot on Ebay that say they are locked to Cingular. Is Cingular locking them upon being sold? What's the deal?

can i use the unlimited media works 19.99 plan with the mpx220? or is there a separate data plan like the 49.99 blackberry plan. by the way can i view html sites on the pocket version of internet explorer that the phone comes with? or did cingular cripple this with a wap only browser?

I have loved this phone since the two days I owned it and then returned it. I am wanting it again, but not until it is healed. Can anyone tell me how much of the issues have been fixed? 🤭

I'm looking to buy a new MPX220 with the latest software.. Does anyone have it for sale or know where I can get it for a cheap price, without a contract? Let me know

Cingular just changed its policy regarding data packages for PDA type phones. The MPX 220 falls in this range due to its browsing and email capabilities. For several months Cingular has allowed the MEdia Basics and MEdia Works packages to be placed on PDA/phone lines. They are now re-introducing the PDA Connect package. It is $39.99 for unlimited data services EXcluding text and multimedia messaging. The previous MEdia Works package was $19.99 for unlimited data, 1500 text msgs, and 200 multimedia msgs. Anyone who already has the MEdia packages will not be forced to change.

Looks like owning this phone just got more expensive. Bummer.

Just want to get a general idea on what bluetooth headset you guys reccommend for this phone or which is the best one on the market? Thanks and Happy Holidays.. 🙄

Hi I can practically smell my mpx220 😉 coming ..however, I don't know how much web to purchse 1mb?2mb?unlimited?My friend said "just getting directions from mapquest"it took away 1MB 😳 !!!! wow that's alot!Anybody please reply ☹️ ..mostly what i want to do is check email once in a while and go on mapwuest. 😛 /.

On every flip speaker capable motorola i've seen the speakerphone feature will work after you close the phone if a call has been established before you close but my MPx will end the call when the speaker is active on a call and I close it. Anyone know how to change this?

Also I have seen many motos that will let you scroll thru recent calls on the external display and place a call with the speakerphone feature without opening. Does this work on the MPx? If so, how?!

Thanx

Verify that you have network coverage and that your account information is correct and then try again.” I am able to connect to other pop3 email accounts just not gmail. I have setup up my gmail to do pop3 can I can do it at home using outlook but cant do it on the mpx220. any ideas any one ?

I am waiting for the replacement from Cingular for my 0.342 version. My question to those who received the replacement phone is: Is it still unlocked?

The unit I bought at BestBuy was unlocked and I do not want to loose this feature.

Thx

I called the 800 number today and told them about lthe ow ear piece volume. I have software .342. When they found that out they indicated that the .342 fixed the volume problem from the .325 and said that they presently did not have any newer SW versions. They told me that I had to take it back to BB which I did. BB has SW version 1.3 but I could not tell any difference in the volume. Also, it took forever to boot up Windows, about a minute longer than my present phone. Do I still want to upgrade to v 1.3???

The other hestitation I have is my contacts list is not on my SIM card. We have to manually, one at a time, send the contacts to the SIM card from the internal memory. What is up with that?
