I got this phone in december of 2007 and it is terrible! i am incapable of taking phone calls or making them. I charge my phone all night take it off in the morning and five minutes later it’s beeping low bat!!!! Just today every single button stopped working on my phone and is refusing to even turn on. WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY!!!

I bought my phone on october 25 from koodo. when I got it the battery was already almost dead they told me this wasnt normal and to take it home and charge it and if i had problems to bring the phone back in, well i charged it when i got home and i found it weird how it charged so fast, well it stayed charged for 3 hours and it wasnt even used. no calls/txts nothing! so i took it back and they gave me a whole new phone. a week later. i bought it bcuz my parents always had motorolla phones and nvr once had a problem with them so i thought it was a good idea. well new battery, and i got the new one two days ago, and ive charged it 3 times since then. does the battery power just suck in these phones. my old phone i even used my mp3 on it for the gym and i charged that once every 3-4 days. so far.. im not impressed! AS well i downloaded a ringtone, and have no clue where it went to in my phone, where it is saved to n where to find it and set it up Can anyone help???

I ditto all the above comments. I too was an idiot for getting talked into this p.o.s. The battery only lasts a couple hours, and that’s when I’m not even using it. If I talk for more than 10 minutes, the battery starts beeping. At least three times a week I’m woke up at 4am with the annoying pa-dink sound saying the battery is shot. I go to Verizon and just get the runaround. They say, yeah, the battery power don’t last long. Lemme sell you a new battery. Ya think?? This phone is only a few months old, and I’m stuck with it for another 19 months. Ya live and learn. DON’T GET THIS PHONE! JUNK!

This phone is pretty much garbage. Mine just recently just decided that it would freeze up for about 20-30 seconds, interrupting whatever I do except a phone call, says no service and then goes back to saying it has service; it’s very annoying while trying to send text messages. Front screen cracked very easily also.

Fragile, buggy, slow. The only good thing is the clear sounding speaker and good looks. I’ve gone through 2 phones now. First one’s earpiece speaker went out so I couldn’t hear people talking to me. The second one was permanently frozen showing only a white screen. I don’t drop/hit/throw my phones. They are just so fragile.

I loved my phone up until recently,
it vibrates for no reason, and my screen cracked !
Does anyone know how much it would be to replace the screen ?
or would it be cheaper to buy a whole new phone ?

Worst phone I ever had. Worked very slowly when I first bought it. Updated software and worked better for a while. Now lose calls constantly, screen goes white and have to take out battery to get it to come on again, battery doesn’t last long. My wife has same phone- first one the number 9 on keypad did’t work right out of box. the replacement worked for a while but now the battery doesn’t stay charged for even one whole day.

Yes you can! To the left of the phone, on the side, second button down, close your phone and hold the button in. It’ll beep then the music player starts but it plays all your music not one particular playlist.

I just purchased the MOTOKRZR K1m and after receiving only 5 texts, the screen stated ‘messages full’. I cleared all of my messages using the ‘clear all’ however this has not worked. What should I do???

Also, I loaded 5 songs onto the phone (without purchasing any memory cards from the store) and it will not load any more. Will I need a memory card to upload more songs?

I need help!!

1. to correct the statement about the external controls. There is a way to start music playing without opening the phone. Hold the little button beneath the volume control

2. I have a problem using ringtones, all of them have a red lock over them and Don’t work. My phone is forced to be on vibrate. I can only preview them if I use the earpiece What’s wrong?

Hi, My lcd screen has broken and I was told that it would cost about $65 to fix but since our two years end in November, I do not want to pay that much so soon to when I could get a new one. All I need is somehow a guide to what buttons I push to get to my music so I can still listen to music and buttons to push to get the talking phone settings so I can hear the names on my contact list since I cannot see them. Any other guiding to other important functions would also be much apreciated. Thanks!

Bernet,
To use your MP3’s you need to transfer them from your card to your phone. This worked for me, I hope this works for you.

Yeah, not a huge fan of this phone. I’ve had it for a year now and haven’t had as many problems as most, but I also dealt with the “memory full” (when the memory was not full!) issue (which is actually why I’m on this site, haha. all fixed now!!), and I’ve finally lost my center button. I had a similar problem with battery life, but I got a new battery on ebay and things were better for a while. It’s started getting bad again, though. There was a time when I couldn’t talk on the phone for 15 minutes without it dying. Lame. All this to say that when its time to get a new phone, I won’t be getting a Krzr again (and probably not a motorola at all).

There is no way for a user to start music playback from the external controls, the phone must be opened to do so. That is not true. If you hold down the speakerphone button while the top is closed it opens v-cast.
