I have a Motorola W510 mobile phone. When I try to type a text, Chinese charactors come up and I cannot find how to change to English.

find someone who reads chinese.

Hi, issues like this are related to your Sim card (network),
not your Cell Phone . In most cases, regarding the text messages,
the problem is from the Service Operator. Have you tried the Sim card on another phone? If not,
remove the Sim card, insert it on another phone and try sending a message from another mobile to you number,
or you can do it in vise- versa by inserting another Sim card on your mobile.

If you can't receive text messages even when it's inserted on another handset,
then you will need to call the customer care of your Network Operator and tell
them your problem, they will help you fix it immediately.

You can check the message center number, but I don't think
it's very much important in your case, well, if you wanna try,
just check the text message settings and verify that the message
center number (which is currently in use) is the same number which
is on another phone with the same network (the other Sim should be
of the same network in your area). If it's different, make the changes
and save the settings. Also disable the "Receive Via" or similar settings..
(I can't recollect the exact settings as i don't have the same model with
me, please excuse me for this.).

If the same Sim card doesn't receive text messages using another handset,
don't bother to change the settings or to make any changes with it,
first call the customer care and verify from them, you may make mistakes instead of fixing it.


Hope that helps.

Thanks for using fixya.......

your phone is stuck in bootloader mode and needs to be reflashed if your still under warranty then try and just return it for a new one. If not then you"ll have to download a backup of either a w490 or w510. Both are free.
w490 here:http://www.opera.com/mobile/download/motorola/w490/
w510 here:http://www.opera.com/mobile/download/motorola/w510/

It should say "Please Wait" briefly, if it does for any length of time it may be worth contacting your network provider. If it still doesn't work call Binatone Helpline on 0845 345 9677.

how to change chinese language in english?

Hi,
No problem. Simply call your operato and request to enable internet settings in your mobile. They will automatically do the required settings. After that you switch off your mobile phone and then switch it on. You will be able to access internet on your mobile and for bying ringtones go to the homepage and select the tone you want to buy. It will be downloaded to your mobile..
Thanks,
With regards,
