Plz also tell me the price of both the basic and the premium one
Thnks !

to tell u truely Dont buy moto rokr e6
i think u shud be much inspired by the ads but strictly dont go for MOTO
else see same budget SE or nokia music fone
BTW: wats ur Budget ???

H

Go for it, its an awesome device, I bought it a month back and am loving it. The Basic version comes with 1GB SDcard without the Snoop S9 wireless receiver priced at around 13k and the Premium version comes with 2GB SDcard with the S9 at around 16k. The S9 is great if you're still, say sitting, driving, riding etc but not when walking, it tends to lose connectivity randomly. I used stereo headphones when walking but S9 otherwise.

If you want a video review, got to youtube and search for MotoRokr E6, there's plenty of them.

Featurewise:
• Linux OS (which pwnz other Os's like symbian, windows, etc

)
• Premium entertainment PDA at only 14.5 millimeters thick
• 2-megapixel CMOS camera with 8x digital zoom to capture the moment
• CIF and QVGA video capture for up to five hours
• Full screen video playback
• Integrated MP3 player with dedicated music keys and built-in FM radio
• PDA featuring Business Card Reader, POP3 e-mail¹, document viewer to view Microsoft Word, Excel, etc., PIM
• Connectivity includes integrated stereo Bluetooth® wireless technology³, HTML browser, hi-speed USB 2.0 EMU, 3.5 millimeter stereo jack
• Removable memory card slot, up to 2GB full SD card support; 8MB dynamic user memory4
• Extended 1000mAh battery life for long usability
• Brilliant 2.4-inch 240 x 320, 262K colors TFT external display with the latest touch screen technology

And speaking from experience, I will surely say this phone really ownz. There's lot of good developers and hackers out there doing very neat applications and code for this phone. Don't look beyond MotorolaFans and ModmyMoto for these stuff. The community is great as usual.

As for me, I got some 50 games, 15 movies, 80 songs, some 50 odd apps on the phone on my 2GB mmc

And yes, I've hacked it to my liking, unlocked EDGE, Quad-Band, Custom skins & splash, Unbranded firmware, and many more.

Being a Linux enthusiast myself, I will say this is a PC which also makes phone calls

PS: And for the laughs, I also got DOS, Turbo C, C++ and Windows 3.1 installed LOL

I don't think he against it, just doesn't prefer it, as with most of us Indians

India is a Nokia country, satisfied with our MEGAPIXEL cameras lol

Everything works man, don't worry, no issues with webcam. I bought it for some odd 16k bucks. And don't completely depend on my advice, maybe coz I use Linux on my PC too, I get over-excited at the prospects of Linux on other devices

. But most of what I said is true.

Maybe wait for some other freaky-styley weird headed MotoFan like me to reply here

Ya hitbox u r rght India is a typical NOKIA country , i know the standard of nokia outside india , ppl here are vry happy wid its 1 megapixel cam. even 1.3 megapixel cam of moto or sony ericson beats nokia's 2 megapixel cam handsdown .

Azzu bhai plz comment wats wrong wid a moto

But Azzu.....
We want u to comment WAT is BAD in ROKR E6.....

Really I like that fone and will get in a month...........

EVEN A BLACKBERRY OWNER WILL SHUT THE MOUTH IF HE SEES IT

Think.... U Have DOS in ur Phone... u r opening some dos games n playing in it.... And many Hacks r coming for it......!

As said by Hitbox.. It is a g8 Phone...

some pros n cons r discussed here for ROKR E6..
*www.motorolafans.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12918

I dont know abt other Moto Phones... But ROKR E6 is a very GOOOD ONE!!!

As far as Camera is concerned... It is a good one though v could not say it as excellent! and Webcam quality is better tooo.. This is wat i heard!

I think MOTO ROKR E6 is a gr8 fone. The music and Linux is gr8!!!

yup motorokr is a great phone (not so great music phone)
i want to say its best for the geek who can play with mobiles software and patch it,customize it do wat ever.But for the non geeks its tuff coz many wud know installing linux is big trouble for many newbies then customizing linux on mobile tuffer job only for newbie's.Ya its a great fully customizable fone. I suggested NOKIa and SE for there user friendly features and MUSIC ,style etc..
but still it's on to u DUDE

And u r g8!... finally agreeed!

Real Problem with ROKR E6 is U need both the hands to msg.... So it is not a good fone for frequent msgers...

^^ and also for non-geeks its tuff to custmize the fone

Thnks 2 everyone (azzu, ganesh,cooldudie,cool g5,hitbox) i hav finally made up my mind i will go 4 a moto rokr E6 .
thnks 4 ur valueable advice guys.
Fianally azzu u hav admitted dat e6 is a gud phone.
Thnks anyways guys.
Will get in touch wid u ppl wen i really get to lay my hands on the phone , anybody there expecting a price cut in nxt 15-20 days.

Get a rokr e6... nothing bad in it... You can get the basic version for 11k..
You can mod it to a great extent as it runs on a linux OS..

^^^ But pathiks I dont think E6 Basic version wuld be that cheap 11k Rs.
In Wavetel for the past 5 months it is constantly at Rs.13.8K....
Is there any place wherei can get really that cheap with Bill! ??

@ the great one:
U r welcome frnd!!

And I am too planning to get that phone for the past 50 days!

And Expecting price cut b4 this festive season!
I think it is better to wait for price cut as one of my frnd has bought Moto Razr a year back and within a week he bought Motorola reduced the price by 1.5K!
And another thing v shld c is... there is really no competition for this phone @ this price in other brands...! So for me there is a doubt of price cut toooo!

ok ok that's good me too wanna get this fone
will get it soon

Thanks for the GREATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT NEWSSSSSSSSSS

I am Waiting for this MONTHSSSSSSSSSSSS!

I think past 4-5 Months the price is of 13.5K!

Lets buy that phone and start a sticky thread here for Moto ROKR E6....

Keep me updated abt it.. wen u buy and then later thing also!

Oh, so the BT headset shown in the ad is not a part of standard package, eh? I didn't know that!

Yeah u r correct!

But i dont know y there is a difference of 5K between the premium edition and the ordinary one!

The s9 headset itself costs around 3-4k and add 1k for the 2gb mem card

The xtra 5k are of bt headset & memory card.How much memory card comes with basic?1gb?

K

^^^ 3-4k pathik?? lol it costs a whopping 5k in Alfa!

oh! I thought I wuld get that for less like arnd 3K as said by pathik!

Sawwry..

K

S9 is expensive if bought separately. However one can get it for a bit less if one buys the ROKR E6 premium package.

Thnks for the gr8 response frm all the members.
I REQUEST THE MODERATORS TO PLS MAKE THIS THREAD STICKY!!!!!!!!!

@ Cool G5: the basic model comes wid a 1GB card.
@ ganesh : will let u know wen ever i will buy this gr8 phone from moto , most probably i will buy it in b/w Navratras or near diwali by most.

Also wanna know anybody using the premium model , is the bluethooth S9 headset really worth spending 5k on it ??????

^^ not at all... No BT headset is worth spending 5k IMO..

K

5k for bluetooth headset is too much. Instead buy a Sennheiser PX100 and connect it to your E6 via its 3.5 mm slot. Sound quality will be much much better.

Wat abt making this thread sticky MODERATORS

I don't think this should be made sticky.Why not buy a creative EP-630,instead of s9.It will give better quality at a cheap price.

there is nothing in this tread to be made sticky !

H

It depends would you want BT in the long run?! Yes its pretty expensive separately, so you can buy the Basic E6 model and spend an additional Rs1,900 for the 2GB card. BT is outstanding while you're still, say sitting, driving, riding and so forth.. But forget about it if you're moving as in walking,exercising... it tends to lose connectivity frequently to the phone. One more thing to consider is it has to be charge 4-5 hours for a full charge. A good quality headphone will go a long way me thinks.

And while I'm at it, here are a few fun things I did with E6.

DOS , Turbo C , Windows , Solitaire , Explorer
lol

And changed the skin to a Slax, so its a complete Linux phone.

PowerON , PowerOFF , Desktop

Here's a video of the same

Keep Modding

EDIT: Images are very grainy and blur, but you get the point, apologies.

^^^

Y dont u start a New thread and Post all the hack and cracks of ROKR E6...

I will be active member there once i get the phone! may be soooon!

Ganesh's right

Of course guys, just held up with some stuff, updating my blog, adding new things, need just a couple of days, once its done, I'll put up a proper thread with links and all to many things on E6

@COOL G5: The BT Headset is not stereo , its mono.

MR GANESHKUMAR the headset is not worth 3k its only worth around 1k (i think) , as it is not stereo

It's around Rs.1.5k or so.

Less than that.. Its not branded too.

how is gprs in e6 ...

phuchungbhutia said:

I m not a gr8 fan of GPRS but as much as i hav used it seems gud 2 me , may b u shld consult other members as i hav hardly used it on this handset.

@ Pathik: But the unbranded onces are also available around 1.3k-1.4k.

Some one can tell me some websites where i can download games , themes , softwares , and other stuff for free.
Pls dont say modmymoto or motorolafans , i hav already downloaded a lot of stuff frm there .
And also i wld like 2 tell dat exmms player (winamp) for e6 on motorolafans is a great player , someone can pls tell me where wld i get WMP for my E6 or some other gud layer for playing music on e6

I am toooo intrested in that!!

^So how is the GPRS?
You tried it?

No i tried only .... for few mins... and i saw all my balance draining out quickly... so i stopped using even before i feel how it was!!

H

I use GPRS on it, very good, though expensive, but I don't care, I like this way, over those daily 20 rental plans, this way I can browse and pay according to my needs, rather than pay some amount daily whether you browse or not.

very sad... No such daily rental plan in HUTCH!!!

hi guys.....

looking in to all ur reviews , now am also interested to buy this one..
but u guys didnt metion anything about its sound quality...
bcoz moto introduced this phone as music addiction phone...
and what is the current price in banglore

Those daily 20 rental plans are the best for me.
Atleast the balance doesnt go in negative after 10 minutes of browsing and downloads.

@Deepak_cucek:: The sound quality is gud but not dat gud as v get in a sony ericsson walkman phone. Also the sound is not dat loud in loudspeaker.
But a major advantage it has over other phones is the 3.5mm headset jack with which u can connect any headphone u hav be it ur walkman headphones or u can purchase a gud quality headphones frm the mkt.(The headphones provided by motorola are also gud)
But the stereo headset provided with the premium model of RokrE6 is awesome (but i dont tink its worth spending 4-5k).
Anyways its a gr8 phone frm moto and frm my personal xperience i will recommend u 2 buy it, it really beats those nokia N-series phone(handsdown) which r in its range...!!!!!!!!!!!

When i compare it with K750 of my frnds... this easily beats in sound quality!!

XMMS in Rokr E6 will give u best quality of sound!! u will love it!!
& there r also hacks to increase ur volume.... so no prob!

Go & Grab it!!

ok guys...
am really satisfied with ur reviews....
what makes differnce between premium edition and standard one...
only with headset and memory....
what is the price differnce between them....
plz specify the current price...

Dont know the price rght now but d only differnece b/w the premium and basic model is the stereo bluetooth headset and a 2GB card instead of a IGB card.
The price diff. b/w 2 shld b around 4-5k

J

The music quality is good. though it is not loud but it is crystal clear

great...
am gonna buy in next week..

Sure!! Welcome to ROKR Family

Ya dude u r welcum 2 d ROKR Family and take my word u r surely gng 2 enjoy this little but gr8 gadget frm Moto.
Go ahead and buy it and let us know how u feel hoping for a response frm u after u buy it.

But Azzu.....
We want u to comment WAT is BAD in ROKR E6.....

there is nothing bad in it except it isn't having symbian and doesn't supports a long range of apps which suits to us (the digitians) .

5700 XpressMusic is no way challengeable by E6 in terms of features
if u want looks E6 is better

5700 has all features of E6 except the touch....

Thanks

Expertno.1

I have seen 5700 it still is far behind RokrE6 in most of the features.

....

Many of them wont agree with this......

5700 lacks Linux...... v can put this way

Ok.Don't flare.
I bought a Nokia 5700 Xpress Music & it's a good phone.
It has symbian OS 9.2 FP1,ARM 11 369MHZ proccy,Class 32 GPRS & class 32 EDGE.
It's a very speedy phone,good for internet & also music is great.

^^^
I am not flaring....

I am cool only... cool G5!

Its true what i said.... I dont say 5700 is crap phone.... Remember that!

@Ganeshkumar - The not to flare request wasn't for you.It was meant for all the other members who own a Moto ROKR E6 & will naturally dislike my good words on Nokia 5700 XM in this thread.So before i say anthing i wrote"Do not flare".

Also i also agree Moto ROKR E6 is a good phone.I had also thought of buying it once,but then changed my mind.

Here is my thread about Nokia 5700 - My Experience.Check it out & post your comment in that thread.

Congratz man.....

Me too agree dat 5700 is a gud phone but not as gud as E6 u will never know wats a E6 has in store 4 u untill u personally use the phone......
But its ur money and ur wish ,but still my advice go 4 E6.....

I tink Nokia 5700 does not hav a memory slot only internal memory of around 300 mb (but not sure)

^^

Yes for me too E6 rocks... but v could not expect all say that... Infact i tell some of my frnds not to go for e6 as ... it wuld b great phone only if u mod it! so for ordinary phone users it would be no challengable phone

No!! It have Memory card slot.... Without card slot... now a days all phones became scrap....

Yes for me too E6 rocks... but v could not expect all say that... Infact i tell some of my frnds not to go for e6 as ... it wuld b great phone only if u mod it! so for ordinary phone users it would be no challengable phone

Absolutely right.If you do not mod it then it's of no use.I also told my friend non-geeky friend about this.

I tink Nokia 5700 does not hav a memory slot only internal memory of around 300 mb (but not sure)

It does have memory card slot.It has 35 MB inbuilt memory.

Ok ok i agree wid d statement dat E6 is superb but only if u r geeky and know sumthng , if not all abt modding it..........

what u guys mean by modding....
we can increase the sound ..like things
what else we can do with this
plz explain..
bcz am not that much techie..

Well this is the first problems i m facing ever after purchasing E6
Its not wid handset infact its wid the motorola phone tool, earlier i installed it it was installed succesfully& wrked fine and later i uninstalled it , but now i hav 2 reinstall it ,it installs itself but does not wrks a error message appears saying"the application failed to initialize properly (0xc0150002)" . Click on OK to terminate the application.
Plz help i wanna use this application.

the great one said:

Bilkul correct!!!

any rply abt my query regarding installation of phone tools softawre

H

Something is amiss in your system, did you install/uninstall any codec files? I've seen those mega codec packs you get can actually worsen the normal working of Windows. Also post the question in Motorolafans, maybe someone there will know.

H

Howz the software support.

There are lots of softs for E6.

But less in number compared to symbian

Mr ganesh kumar:: hav u installed any emulator on ur E6 , if yes may i know which one , plz provide d link 4 dat also and d steps to use it.
Anybody else knows how 2 use emulators in e6
hav tried many but no luck

S

I am in doubt that E6 have EDGE or not ? In gsmarena.com it is written that it has edge but on indiagsm.com not. Here in this thread many have written that they have unlocked EDGE that means it does not have edge. Kindly clarify, friends.

Yup it has EDGE.

no yaar...
i doesnt have edge

@:Solanky
It ha edge but u ha 2 unlock it .
It means d handset is edge compatible but it hasn't been activated by motorola.
I havn't unlocked it myself but hav read on a lot of forums dat edge can b unlocked in MotorokrE6.
Any body there knows how 2 use emulators in e6

^^ check out modmymoto.com
there is a gba emulator for moto e6 and ming.

H

@deepak_cucek, it does have EDGE but needs to be unlocked. See the 'E' in the pic

@the_great_one (..feels weird calling you that..

)
In the moto gamer section of motorolafans, you can find the emulator. Basically what you do is install the file called EzxFBA, download the zip of roms from RS called roms.rar and unrar it to a folder called emulators in your memory card. Then when you want to run a game, do 'open with' on the game, select EzxFBA from the list and run. If select 'Always' there and it will run just by clicking on it.

Go to motorolafans to get all the files. Happy gaming

Note: However, it may take some time getting used to the controls since its a port.

Hi Hitboxx,
Thanks for sharing your expertise on MotoRokr E6.
Please tell me, is it possible to install themes or change wallpapers of this phone?
Also, all users of this phone, please tell me is it difficult to compose SMS on this phone? How do you rate the hand-writing recognition part of the phone.
Thank you.

Yeah its possible to change themes and Wallpprs....

Yeah it is little bit difficult... u need two hands to type msg comfortably....

I dont use Hand-writing recognition part of the phone to msg or any....
Though it works nice! But not efficient than virtual Keyboard!!

@HE 28: Ya u can install themes as well as change wallpapers.
Well composing sms is not dat difficult once u get use 2 the on-screen keyboard & it also has predictive txt preinstalled which is really helpful while composing sms and mails.
As far as handwriting recognition is concerned its not dat gud as compared 2 sum other nokia touchscreen phones, but its ok i will rate 6.5 out of 10.

If it is possible to add our own words in that predictive word list.... It wuld be great!!

Infact u r typing very long words.... u can type faster than other phones... bcoz of that predictive word list!!

ya he is rght if u could add ur own wrds in dat predicitive wrd list it wld hav been really vry helpful
Like it used 2 b in nokia phones the T9 software

Thanks the great one and Ganeshkumar... you guys are very helpful.
Do you have any link or tutorial, that can teach, how to install Windows 3.11 on Moto Rokr?
Also, if possible guys, tell me a link/site where I can find the screenshots of Moto Rokr or its user interface.
Thanks again!

Ur welcum He 28 anytime and ganesh kumar is rght motorola fans is a gr8 site.

Awesome...
the great one and Ganeshkumar ... guys, you rock!
Yes, I am planning to buy one.

But I am in dilemma. I use to have Nokia 3230 and I lost it in an accident. Now I have to buy a new cell phone. 3230 was an awesome phone with Symbian OS. There is a lot you can do on any Symbian based phone.
I don’t know if I will be able to enjoy all the flexibilities 3230 has with ROKR E6. Like I use to keep all my passwords and confidential information in Vault of 3230. Number of nice games, 100s of messages, self designed themes, songs, video, camera, BT, FM and GPRS... to name a few.
Please tell me, will it be all possible with ROKR E6? Also tell me guys, what is Emulator? Is it possible to install and play .sis games (designed for Symbian) on ROKR? Is it easy to play games on ROKR as it is a touch-screen and not much keys are there on cellphone itself.
Is it possible that OS my get corrupted in case you are trying new things on it?
Please guide me!

Thank you guys for your help.

Rokr e6 has linux os not symbian.you cant run symbian apps on rokr.Take a look at nokia 5700,it has symbian.Rokr also has apps like symbian.

Thnks buddy i ha downloaded the software and the roms as well its really gud nice frame rate ,sound just its the controls , bit i m getting use 2 it anyhow..

One more question to u Mr.Hitboxx i can c a window media player icon in the image u posted nxt 2 ur battery meter, i know its ezxplayer , wat i want 2 know is how does it wrks , i hav downloaded it frm motorolafans site and hav installed it using mpkg installer as well but it does not wrk.

Nope, that is just Realplayer. And EZXPlayer is not for E6. A better one for E6 would be ZMplayer, a fork of MPlayer, which can play all video formats, again, find it at motorolafans. For audio, the best is eXMMS player.

Hi guys,
Thanks for reply.
1. Please tell me more about Emulator? Is it possible to install and play .sis games (designed for Symbian) on ROKR?
2. Is it easy to play games on ROKR as it is a touch-screen and not much keys are there on cellphone itself.
3. What are chances of OS getting corrupted when you are trying new things/software on it?
4. Is it possible to install Windows applications on this phone?

Please guide!
Thanks for your patience with me!

For 2,3,4....
2. It will be easier to play games... than to play in other phones!!

3. 0% chance of corrupting OS... Follow the procedure for all hacks u do...

4. NO

1)No.
2)They are easy to play.
3)Unless u play with system files & do reliable modifications the chances of corruption are less.
4)Not possible.

Sorry yaar HE28 , I was busy as my grandpa was ill and i hav 2 wid him in hospital entire day,but now he is fine so can be a part of this thread again .
As for ur query regarding zmplayer and themes .... i tink most answers r already there, motorola fans is theeeeeee best site for modding ur e6.
Anyways i will try 2 still help in every possible manner:-

First of all u need 2 hav a installer which can install .pkg files, for dat first download this file *www.motorolafans.com/forums/local_links.php?action=jump&id=43&catid=10 (13.7 kb) , now connect ur phone wid the computer
this is a winzip file unzip it there will a folder "mpkg installer for E6" open it , there will be a folder .system copy this folder to ur e6 replacing the earlier .system folder(note this will uninstall all the applications u hav installed earlier , but the applications which came loaded wid the phone will remain,, also do make a backup of ur earlier .system folder 2 b on the safer side if anythng goes wrong. .system folder is hidden so u need to set ur folder options in ur computer 2 show hidden files & folder)
now remove ur phone frm computer & restart ur phone.
There wld be a lot of new icons in main menu of ur phone.
Now download *www.motorolafans.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=3412&d=1175104097
Unzip the file and copy .pkg into ur phones memory card ,disconnect the phone frm computer and go to the .pkg file u just copied , keep ur stylus on it until a pop up menu appears , click open with in the menu and now select mpkg installer (also check the box below "always use this program 2 open this kind of files") and ok. It will ask for ur confirmation click ok and the installation will begin , may b u hav 2 restart ur phone after installation.
For themes will tell u later hav 2 go sumwhere cya tc........

ok guys, now that I found this thread on the Moto ROKR E6, the phone that suits all my needs(including linux), I have the following questions:

Hey dude welcum 2 Motorola RokrE6 club.....hope u will b an active member here ....
Dont know much abt VMC , may b other boarders will b able 2 help u on this matter......
At wat price did u bought the cellphone frm where & any gifts offered
wid it......!!!!!!!??????

Thanks @the great one.

What a mobile. After just 12 hours of usage, I am in love with it. It's so touchy

Bought it at BigC, Katriguppe, Bangalore for Rs.10,700.

Scratch card. Got Rs.200

and to my bad luck, today Global access announced a definite gift of Rs.5000 with every purchase

Anyways, my R&D starts tomorrow and then the modding

as of now, using GPRS. Have to mod it to unlock EDGE. not much time to do this now.

hey guys i'm planning to buy a new mobile.dont think bout the budget just suggest.

cud u just tell me bout the audio quality of the ROKR E6?to whihc Nokia or SE phone is it comparable.
also which HTC phones wud be a gud buy.
all suggestions welcome,no brand preference but plz dont suggest Nokia N95 8GB as i already own 1 and anything similar (dont wanna buy Nokia as i've 1 of Nokia's present best)

hmm. In terms of just music, I think W810i and Nokia 5310 are better than that of Rokr.

IMHO, Overall, this phone rocks. Touchscreen, multitasking, powerful processor, linux OS, lot of room for modding and hacking etc etc.

Hi desiibond...
Welcome to the gang!
Hope you will be an active member of this thread. Keep on sharing your experiences and tips on E6 with us.

@ hellgate... I agree with desiibond &will say E6 has good audio output... 7/10. Featurewise, it has:
Linux OS
Just 14.5 millimeters thick body
2-megapixel camera
MP3 player with dedicated music keys and built-in FM radio
Business Card Reader
POP3 e-mail
3.5 millimeter stereo jack (I can use headphones of my MP3 player and also can attach E6 with my car stereo!!!)
Brilliant 2.4-inch 240 x 320, 262K colors TFT external display
What else you need man!
I was using Nokia for 5 years. Just pissed off with quality for phones Nokia is providing these days.
I will recommenf E6... rest up to you.

@ the great one... anything new buddy??

^^^ and wat bout the bluetooth stereo headset thats bundled with E6 premium.
heard that it lacks bass and that the battery drains out pretty quickly (in 40 mins).
out here E6 -> 10k and E6 Premium -> 13k.
which 1 wud be a better buy.

I would say, get the non-premium version of rokr and buy EP-630 for Rs.800/-

One thing that I noticed is awesome radio quality. When I tuned to radio city, I felt as if I am listening over a cd-quality source.

I will not go for Premium.

btw, premium also comes with 2gb card and normal edition comes with 1gb card. And EP-630's quality is better than Motorola S9 bluetooth stereo headset. Bluetooth's always been power hungry.

I know couple of guys in my office who bought this wireless headset. Now they do not use it and find earplugs much better... in terms of audio quality. Also, earplugs are easy to carry.
Look for some good earplugs... I am sure you will not regret.

I agree... desiibond is correct!

H

i've 2-3 ear &head phones lying around.i use them with my N95 8GB.they r:
1>SONY MDR XD200
2>SE HPM-85
3>SE HPM-70
4>SONY MDR-803

i hope that i shall get audio quality whihc is near to the quality of N95 8GB.

hmm. to be frank, I don't know. I never even touched N95

@hellgate: buddy i wld recommend E6 basic model (w/o bluethooth headset)
bcoz of 2 reasons the battery drains out quickly in this bluethooth headset & secondly while listening to the music on the move on ur bluethooth headset , the voice cuts in b/w.
But this phone is not the best if and only if u r luking for music (7.5/10 for music) , overall this phone is great (9/10), features hav already been told 2 u by other members.
U already hav so many headsets to connect so the quality of music will rather improve with these headsets i think.
Comparing the audio quality wid N95 , dont know much abt N95 but hav heard frm my frnds dat the sound quality is almost the same...

Hey, Welcome to the E6 community.

coming to the problem that you are facing, try this

swtich off the phone
reinsert the battery
switch on the phone

If it doesn't work, *www.soundtaxi.us/mp3-mpeg4.html, downoad soudtaxi that connverts DRM'ed mp3's to un-DRM'ed mp4's

Welcome Username!!!

@username, satified with the purchase?

one advice, To get better quality music, don't use Real player. Try xmms for this mobile. Available at motorolafans.com

thanx for help.
well i am satisfied with the phone.
i want to know that player u mentioned is a java based?
currently i am a java browser which does not able to download says some sign assign prob. how to get rid of this ?

Also i seen a installing skin guide on mod my moto it says to replace .system file with files given in skins.
i see that .system folder have java named sub folder which has info abt java apps installed.if i replace .system folder then all the java apps installed r going to deleted?

Same quest. for installing mpkg(if i just replace QTDownLoad folder and not java for mpkg will this work?)

Use the Opera mini browser, Copy the installer (.jar) to the phone and install the application. This is much better than the default browser.

Also i seen a installing skin guide on mod my moto it says to replace .system file with files given in skins.
i see that .system folder have java named sub folder which has info abt java apps installed.if i replace .system folder then all the java apps installed r going to deleted?

Am not sure about this. But better do the required modding and then install java applications. afaik, I don't think that replacing the folder will corrupt java apps. You can give it a try.
1) copy the folder .system to your PC
2) replace the folder with the modded .system to your phone
3) try to run java apps that are already installed.
4) I haven't noticed any difference when I replaced the folder to install mpkg

From where did you get the ZmPlayer pakcage? I have installed this player but though it got installed on the phone, I am not able to run the player. Didn't get much time to check what went wrong.

Hi guys, I just purchased the ROKR E6 from this guy in my city and he told me that it was unlocked. I live in canada and my service provider is Fido. Everything works fine with my sim card except the fact that I cant recieve any calls. I can make out calls and recieve Txt messages but i cant recieve any calls. Does it means that the phone is not fully unlocked or something else is wrong with it. But when I put in 2 different Rogers sim cards everything works. Just not with my Fido.

Connect E6 in mass storage mode

Edit the file .system/java/CardRegistry file and remove corresponding entry of exmms player. Then remove the folder from .system/QTDownload

No need to uninstall it will update the previous version of exmms player...

What the price of ep 630?

This may be helpful to u:

The EP-630 are In-Ear Noise Isolation Earphones - they don't just sit outside your ears, they actually push and settle right in your ear. There are two major advantages of this type of design; first is that they don't easily fall out of your ears, especially during activities akin to jogging, unlike standard ear-bud type headphones. But more importantly, with the headphones pushed deep into your ears, you cut out a lot of background noise (techy term Noise Isolation).

HI, i have used creative ep-630 headphones with rokr e6 with the 3.5mm jack but the problem is that i can hear sound from only the right speaker same is the problem when i connect my ipod headphones. On default headphones that came with the phone , there is no problem. Is this a problem in all phones or only in this one particular, please help.

^^ could be loose connection for you. I get stereo sound through my EP-630. I think you are not pushing the earphone properly.

@ rohan

If ur default headphones are wrking fine den the other one shld also wrk , i am also using my other headphones wid this set (not EP630) , they r wrking fine.
May be u shld try 2 push the jack a bit harder , if still doesn't wrks den its time to head straight 2 a moto service centre....
assuming u hav the purchasing bill wid u????????

Yes the headphone is connected properly but still no sound from one speaker. I wonder how the normal headphones work also all low quality cheap headphones work perfectly, the problem is for good headphones like ep-630 or ipod headphones . Is there any sort of power issue. Also the warranty is void since my cousin had spilled water on it about 4 month back , due to which bluetooth and camera had stopped working which later started working automatically. :))

I don't think about power issues.They(Ep-630) don't have big drivers to power.
Did you checked the EP-630 with any other phone?

If that's the case no headphone's will work.It's only that EP-630 & good headphones are giving him a problem.

The ep-630 is working great on n91 and i have also checked it with my pc . There is something wrong with the phone itself . Are u all sure that ep-630 works properly with e6 , is anyone using this combination.

^^ Dude. This is the second time that I am saying that it's working fine for me. I use EP-630 with my phone. perfect balance.

Ya i know if one headset is wrking fine den the other one shld also wrk fine...
but as u are aware water has been spilled over the handset , den anythng is possible, water & electronic items are a serious mismatch u know.........
And spilling water on these type of highly sensitive phones makes the matters worse........

An emulator is a software that allows you to run one platform on top of another.
I suppose you are referring to the GBA emulator, which emulates (runs) the GameBoy Advance platform over the E6's native linux.
Kinda like using a software to play PlayStation games on your computer..

ROMS are analogous to CDs.. In a playstation you will have to purchace CDs.. If you run GBA emulator you will have to find ROMs of the different games you want to play, and 'mount' them.

Swap mem is simply a script that allocates a part of your memory card as swap memory. In a computer, this is the area in your HDD that stores RAM contents when the RAM is full.. Needless to say the transfer times increase but you will have an (almost) unimited amount of 'virtual' memory.

I hope this helps you..

JaX

You will have to install the mpkg software before you can run MPKG files.

Insert the following in your .system\java\CardRegistry file at the end:

Code:

AniIcon =

Eraseable = 1
Exec = mpkg.lin
FixedAllPosition = 0
FixedPosition = 0
GroupID = ezx
Icon = mpkg_sm.png
InstalledDate = 2007/1/1
JavaId = -1
MassStorageStatus = 0
MpkgFile = 
Name = MPKG
OsVersion = 1.2
Shared = 0
Size = 256K

Then unzip the folder below into your .system\QTDownLoad\ folder..

Ofcousre u need a messenger to chat via webcam
No need to install any software (sum systems might need it but my system automatically detected and installed the software 4 it) , just open menu in ur e6 click on setup , there u will c "USB Mode" option click on it , den u will c 3 option select "webcam" and "save".
Now connect ur phone using usb data cable wid ur computer , it will detect a webcam and will start installing software 4 it , after dat u can use ur phone as webcam..

Still, i'll suggest u try uninstalling. b'coz i use alot of usb devices & no probs at all.

I am facing a weird problem with my E6.

Phone goes on restarting. It never comes up.
When I connect it to PC and turn on, it comes up and says "Battery recharging" but no animation for battery, doesn't accept any click on menu or anywhere on the screen and then it turns off completely.

Could this be a firmware corruption?

got it. It's the SIM card that is corrupted.

The problem I am facing is extremely weird. For my phone, if I insert any Vodafone card, it goes on rebooting. Any other card like Airtel/spice are working fine.

Same thing happens occasionally with my idea sim also, can't figure out what may be the problem, I've not added any new applications or themes recently.

Got it resolved after installing R533_G_11.12.08P_UNICODE_DUNHILL firmware.

hah.

The problem faced by u guys (motobuntu & desiibond) , is quite strange!!!!....
No such problem wid me , i hav used vodafone card , now my bro is using my cell wid idea connection still no problems.....

yep. Even the vodafone support person was shocked to see that. First he thought that this could be a locked phone to Airtel but then I showed my phone with a BSNL card.

I called up Motorola support and asked for procedure to reinstall firmware but they said that I should take the phone to the support center. Well, why should I travel for 1.5 hrs to 2 hrs to and fro just to reinstall firmware. Did that myself and no more issues.

Hi!!

I think many moto phones have these type of bugs...

My frnds basic moto phone doesnt work with other sim cards except Vodafone... he got the phone from only std. showrooom, UNIVERcell....

So he is moving to service center now..

Model is C100 i think!

Well this is the first time i hav cum 2 know abt dis unique problem in moto handsets .........

First of all u need 2 hav a installer which can install .pkg files, for dat first download this file *www.motorolafans.com/forums/local_links.php?action=jump&id=43&catid=10 (13.7 kb) , now connect ur phone wid the computer
this is a winzip file unzip it there will a folder "mpkg installer for E6" open it , there will be a folder .system copy this folder to ur e6 replacing the earlier .system folder(note this will uninstall all the applications u hav installed earlier , but the applications which came loaded wid the phone will remain,, also do make a backup of ur earlier .system folder 2 b on the safer side if anythng goes wrong. .system folder is hidden so u need to set ur folder options in ur computer 2 show hidden files & folder)
now remove ur phone frm computer & restart ur phone.
There wld be a lot of new icons in main menu of ur phone.
Now download *www.motorolafans.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=3412&d=1175104097
Unzip the file and copy .pkg into ur phones memory card ,disconnect the phone frm computer and go to the .pkg file u just copied , keep ur stylus on it until a pop up menu appears , click open with in the menu and now select mpkg installer (also check the box below "always use this program 2 open this kind of files") and ok. It will ask for ur confirmation click ok and the installation will begin , may b u hav 2 restart ur phone after installation.
For themes will tell u later hav 2 go sumwhere cya tc........

Can anyone recommend a competent music phone with PDF viewer and 3MP cam for 10K (touchscreen and symbian/windows/linux not the prime importance)

N73 ME. But it does not have touchscreen. Rest it suits your needs perfectly.

ROKR E6 is a great phone. Don't worry about the linux platform it's easy to use. The touchscreen is a bit tacky to use. Playing games is not a big issue, once you get used to it.

Hello,

Also please let me know how can i transfer themes & softwares into my motorola phone ??

My email address - neha_20m@rediffmail.com
Thanks in advance

Bro its a great phone , the user interface is really easy
The touchscreen can also be used wid fingures but wen accuracy is required u will hav 2 use stylus
As far as games r concerned u can play dem easliy on E6 , even u can play GBA emulator games after installing the emulator on it.

Hi friends, after reading ur constant praise abt MOTOROKR E6, i am thinking of buying it.But i wanted to tell that i am not much TECHIE, so will i be able to mod the mobile?
Morever, i also wanted to ask you, since i will be flashing it(then its warranty will be void), so is their any need of buying it with bill?

HOPING THAT U ALL GUYS WILL HELP ME TO MOD IT (AFTER I BUY IT)

One final Query,
I heard that its loudspeaker volume isn't exactly loud

The loudspeaker is good enough to be heard in most noisest surroundings.

The loudspeaker is loud & clear enough.....
But still if u feel it isn't dat loud u can mod it t increase the sound(sound of exmms player is loud enough.)
Any more queries?????????

There's just this tussle b/w Motorokr and Sony Ericsson K790i can't decide. which phone has better music.

Obviously Motorokr E8
It's designed for music
But K790i will have a much more better camera.

JOINING THE MOTOROKR CLUB ON 5th JULY....
HOPE EVERYONE OF YOU WILL BE THERE TO HELP ME GET THE BEST OUT OF IT.

^^ Moto rockr is the only motorola hit till date for me

let's do a search, a search to port Android on E6.

^^^^
wHAT DO YOU MEAN?
making android run on linux or android apps run on motorokr's linux environment?

Making android run on Motorokr E6 instead of moto's linux os

This guy has dunnit.But it may be a video he's running on the mobile. Also there is not a touch based version of Android around so it would be impossible to input text.

Android is also Linux based so will its apps run on E6

So mr ganeshkumar & he28 wat u guys r dng wid ur E6

Hi the great one....
Most of the time I use my E6 to access sites/internet. I got an interesting game Darkest Fear installed. Trying to clear the stages... it is really a challanging game.
You tell me.... did you get any new utility/tool for E6.... what about Dictionary...?

ganeshkumar.... nothing from you! What's up?
:smile:

Hardly get any time to sit on my system , so still no dictionary found
and where to d/load dis game ....darkest fear

Bought Motorokr E6 At Last......

Can java apps & games(240x320) of Nokia & SE be installed in E6 ?

@above
Java Apps can be installed of any resolution. No symbian .sis files of Nokia and SE.

TO ALL THE EXPERTS:
I can not get .pkg applications to install on my Rokr. Pls guide me to use MPKG Installer

What is the firmware version?

I think its 10p
(If that is a firmware version, coz I'm not sure, the version flashes for a short time before it disappears)

I tried to install SmartAsst and MPKG but these applications don't show their intended icons but a black !inside a yellow circle in the menu and a blue QT when i use Open With... on Unzipper.pkg (or any other pkg file)

I think working mpkg installer is not yet available for 10p.

anyways, this might help you: *www.modmymoto.com/forums/showthread.php?t=164241

Thanks Desiibond for searching the thread for me.
The problem still persists but now I have peace of mind as there are others out there stuck like me.

Do you recommend flashing down to 8p firmware.

Hmm. No. I feel that 10p is far more stable than 08p. Search for the modded 10p firmware that comes with the all the apps you need.

^^ It will be really good if you mention the reason along with rants

@Sonyli -
Produce some concrete proof behind your talk.

desiibond said:

Will flashing to modded firmware 10p void my warranty?
What if I flash to Generic 8p firmware. Will it too render warranty void?

nope. Flashing will not void warranty. If you face any problem with flashing, just go to service center and get it flashed with the latest firmware that they have.

But be careful while flashing. Backup everything.

Thanks a ton Desiibond.
I have successfully installed MPKG and LinLoader. (Quite an achievement as Motorolafans.com has become very confusing due multiple threads on same topics)

I have noticed Music Skipping on my new Rokr E6.
It is frequent while using Real Player but rare and quite unnoticeable with other players like Winamp and Rockbox.
But it is still there.
Can the problem be solved.

see how much amount of space is available on the phone (not memory card).

How do I do that? (check the space Motorola Phone Tools or Telnet)

It's GREAT! The sound quality is awsome along with the picture quality and i think you ppl know more than me about it's great features.

Honestly speaking, i don't know much about modding my MOTO(though i would love to know ) and i am reading more and more about modding so that i can use this phone to its fullest. Thanks for all you people here for letting me know.
Will be checking in for more...

Can anyone tell me about E6 battery backup? Heard that its not good enough and takes more than 4 hours to full charge.

Yes it does take time to charge fully. Also the battery indicator only has three bars so you can't be sure if the phone is fully charged or on the brink of 2/3 charge.(hope i can made myself clear)
Once fully charged the indicator never falls below 2/3 mark with half an hour of charging daily. I use it for 2-2.5 hours of music playback while commuting and gaming.

Regarding battery...

It wl take maximum of 2 hrs to charge to its full.... s, a little more time only..

But the battery doesnt come more than 24hrs for me... i wl b charging daily... and if i listen to music in speakers for sometime.. then i hv to charge it again the same evening..

thanks for the info,
another question....... anyone using this phone for GPRS in pc?? hows the download speed??

No it does not takes 4 hrs for complete charging, mine takes not more den 2 1/2 hours to charge wid completely drained out battery.
And one full recharge of battery , for me lasts for not less den 2 days.

I have used vodafone EDGE network.

decent speeds upto 112kbps but had to pay some 500 per month for 1gb download limit.

Hey All Rokr Owners!!!!

What do you do with windows 3.1?
I have installed it but can't figure out what good is it?

Hi all....
No posting for long....!!
Where are you guys??

desiibond, the great one, Ganeshkumar....!!!!

Hi...

Got busy in my work...

I already hv chennai map.. i hv to copy bangalore map tooo... and any other new s/w available... ?
i hv to chk motofans...

& how r u, He28, greatone, hitbox, desibond? ?

Guys Im about to buy this E6 Vanilla version. Though its been quite a while its released; it still rocks.

These are the PROS I can see of this phone;
1. Touchscreen Multimedia (PDA?) Phone at an affordable price.
2. Many features to boast of.
3. Fair enough music.
4. Moddable to an extent. :neutral:

The CONS that I see.
1. Buggy problems come now and then.
2. Battery drains a bit quick.
3. Earpiece quality while talking is muffled. (Correct me if I am wrong.)
4. The paintwork wears off soon.

And there is one more thing that I cannot put in any category.
People say that as the phone is Linux/Java; so its great. Yes, I use Linux in my desktop. But I fail to see WHAT GOOD HAS LINUX DONE TO THIS PHONE?
I mean symbian has a hell lotta more apps at a competent price. Windows Mobile rules the high end scenario. But I fail to see many apps for this phone. JAVA apps will work of course. But as this phone is part linux; I expected bigger apps like OpenOffice.org, GIMP, (lighter versions of course

) etc to work on it. WHICH IS NOT THE CASE!!! So guys this is a mixed bag. I also heard that Motorola, though licencing it under GPL; havent given out the source code, is it true?

I need an EXPERIENCED reply on this one, guys. :neutral:

Regards;
IronMan.

Hey everyone....

I am buying this very soon as my v3i is showing hiccups... and i dont want to buy the n96 for 36k now..... (Nokia, u got to be kidding me...

Hi guys.
desiibond, the great one, Ganeshkumar
Where are you guys...??

I need your help.
Please help me... facing issue with QEZplayer. When I install QEZplayer it works good. When I restart my phone, it stops working. Then after some days it starts working good again. I dont know what 'chemical reaction' takes place inmy E6 that 'reactivates' QEZ again. Do you have any fix?

Please suggest some good .flv player and help me with links/steps to install it.
Thanks

Hi...

I joined a company.. and me going busy.. no time to spend in other activities..

Is the player closes automatically??
In mine too.. similar prob was there... i read in a thread like...
goto setting and change font size.. it will work fine..
i tried it and its working...

but sometimes rarely that too in vain..

I tried that...
It is not working....
Do we have any good flv player...?
@ Ganeshkumar.... how to install map of Delhi??

^^
oh!

To install offline maps to ur phone..
goto this site and first *www.mapcacher.com/
and generate map file of the area u needed with the corresponding zoom level

then,

with this .map file install gmapmaker (download from here, *www.mgmaps.com/cache/) and generate map tiles through it..

copy this output map tiles to ur memory card and u hv to do some minor hacks in ur registry of installed mgmaps to work it in offline mode..

Step by step on how to do.. will be available in motofans forum chk it outHe28..

I too had the problem when I had E6.
QEZX Player did not open the files when i changed the font size of explorer or installed a new theme.
for every theme I had to find the right font size, small medium etc. before i functioned properly.
may be this is becuase the program did not have its own user interface and depended on the native browser of the phone and any change in it rendered it use less.

shayad aap ke saath bhi yehi pareshaani ho.

my bhaiya gave him his rockr e6 today lolz suggest me some appz for it.. and how to mod it.. ???

A

can anyone tell me more about modding moto rokr e6?
I read tutorials at modmymoto and motofan but they seem complicated and confusing.
