You must have bought your GX32 fom SmarTone ya???

Well ... in that case you have been shortchanged as Vodafone GX30 includes:

1) Handset Manager Installation CD
2) 8MB SD card

Having said that, however, the GX32 is:

1) unlocked
2) enable you to send SMS in Chinese

The software can be downloaded from

http://213.249.206.60/common/downlo...set_Manager.zip

however it will not be compatiable with GX32. So you really need the older version which can be downloaded from

ftp://ftp.matweb-twe.com.tw/MA620/Phmgr/IRGX20.zip

1) My phone from Australia vodafone, is unlocked it's also a GX30.
2) SMS in Chinese is beyond insignificant for me.... (Not meant to be racist) but I could never write or read it, nor do I know anyone who does.

I do hear, that the GX32 has some cool menus or something that are different... I wouldn't mind seeing a pic of the diff menu's.

Yea we definitely got jipped with the GX32 packaging. Just a headset, a battery, and a charger?!? wuts up with that? the GX31 in Taiwan comes with headset, battery, desktop charger, 32mb card, cd, and cable. Plus it doesnt have the annoying stroke input system that the GX32 does bleh....oh well Ill just sell it and buy one when Im in Taiwan.

Download the handset manager for the GX-20 and it will work.

grrr....I just installed the GX20 handset manager and the MA-620 driver but everytime I try to connect the phone to the computer, the Handset manager program says MA-620 not found. WTH?!

Posted by: dic888c

i don't think we can find any FREE download of GX-32's handset manager at this stage coz i called smartone today they said i need to my a package for HK$200 with CD-ROM driver, cable ...

to Sharp_GX32,
your two solution don't work and both software simply can't find GX-32 to connect!
are u really using GX32?

Posted by: assrape

Hi there, I am using a GX-32 myself and I have no problem of the GX-20 version... Just try to download the software of GX-20 and GX-30... first installed the 30 version then install 20... coz some of the drivers or files version 20 doesn't have .. so after you have both installed choose the connection using computer in your phone not just switching on the infr-red... use the option of computer data transfer thru infra-red... then you may work out...

Just a quick one for your reference.

Don't be upset because you bought your GX32 at Smartone and found that it only came with the very basic accessories. GX31 costs about US$723 while GX32 is only $600. With the $123 difference you can probably get everything you need and still have some extra money for a bluetooth handsfree.

And you are also not correct re the stroke input system thing on the keypad. GX31 does come with a similar stroke input system on the keypad and characters are printed on all 0-9 buttons, while GX32 only has them on 1-5.

And I know they may be annoying to you but they are indeed very useful for those who enjoy texting in Chinese - in fact GX32 is really localised for HK market so I don't see why you should be complaining. If your so unhappy with those strokes I'd suggest you go for GX30, which is certainly clean enough for you.

Uhhh....Im not actually mad about that the fact that the GX32 doesnt come with everything the GX31 does.

And for the keypad...I am Taiwanese, born and raised there, thats why I want the GX31. It uses "zhu yin/bopomofo(ª`£¸£´/ £t£u£v£w)" input instead of the annoying stroke input. I dont mind the stroke input, I just find it less convenient than zhuyin system. So please save your thoughts on me being unacceptable of having strokes on my keypad and not knowing what they are for. Id rather have my keypad cluttered with the entire zhu yin "alphabet" then with 5 strokes because at least for me, inputting Chinese would be a lot quicker since I am not good at getting my strokes exactly right anymore. And I dont even understand why the number six is question mark. Since you are from HK can you explain?

i bought a GX-32 package and found a 64MB SD card inside the box... could it be a mistake? anywayz... you guyz stop pointing fingers.... 32 or 31 they are the same... you can swap it which ever u like when the firmware update is out

Oic. I wasn't putting up a fight, I just hoped to point out the cost difference between GX31/GX32 so you won't feel so "ripped off'.

If your from Taiwan I can understand now why you prefer 31's input system. Some friends of mine who are from Taiwan say they start to use five strokes instead of pinyin after while because they find it easier to input Chinese that way too. As for the question mark on key 6, it's for stroke that your not sure - just like changjie, you enter 'x' when your not certain about a particular stroke.

Did you get your GX32 from Smartone? I know if you bought it elsewhere in HK (like Broadway or other shops) you may get a 64MB SD card as part of the package. But these folks are selling it at a much higher price that's why.

Don't be mistaken though - I really wasn't putting up a fight.

Ohhhh!!! Wow, that just made it so much easier to input with the stroke input. I always thought it was for radicals or something .

Actually, the other GX32 I purchased came with a panasonic 64mb SD card too. Very odd. and on the bottom of the box it says 64mb SD but on the bottom of the one that wasnt with an sd card, it doesnt say that.

As far as flashing with firmware for Gx31 on 32 it would be useless. THe 31's Chinese input is pretty hard to use when the bopo characters arent on the keys as every manufacture puts it on the keypad in a different order.

Posted by: dic888c

hahaha,

just went to smartone shop to solve the problem on using my GX-32 as a modem to access internet with my notebook. it seems only smartone knows how to do this ;-(

btw, i also find one more issue apart from the handset manager with the package from smartone (in fact i still can't connect with all tips posted here)

this is the stereo headphone! only the headphone comes with the HK$198 CD pakage can work(i mean have the stereo)!

anyway, i got my mp3 portable already so i just hope someone can share the GX-32 handset manager if they have bought the CD package.

can anyone post the link to download this ×××× software ;-p

million thx
