Many of us still using WInXP, some like me uses in dual boot with win7 / Linux. Some times good old windows is required. But when using this good old windows, urgency comes and we need to connect our new age phones to windows XP for data transfer. and suddenly we come to know that, MTP drivers are missing or not supported in this XP. LOL.... above statement looks familiar ?.... same happen to me today with my XP sp3 and Moto G, So found a work around and got my Moto G connected to win xp as MTP device without much trouble. Windows XP sp3 already have MTP support in build, but only dont know which are MTP devices, So we have to let windows know by adding device's VID and PID to MTP driver INF. Below is sample of MTP INF, with added MOTO G info in bold letters. Moto G MTP Drivers For Win XP SP3 [Modded by Me] https://www.dropbox.com/s/37hpk21lc26h78i/wpdmtp.inf above INF file is original windows INF for MTP drivers with Added Moto G info. you can copy this to your INF directory and Moto G MTP drivers will be loaded automatically. INF folder is located inside windows directory Above can be done for all mobile MTP devices, you can have a look at this screen shot to get VID PID of device, just copy Hardware ID and replace in INF. and your work is done. If any one want help in modifying their INF file, do let me know, will do it for you. Also you can install Windows Media player 11 without activating or validating your windows Instructions are on below link, most of MTP devices are included in WMP11. (no need of above changes) http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/2577/wmp11_install_windows_media_player_11_without_activating_bypass_wga/

^^^ The Nav keys are different in both phones, even though they are released at same time by both companies... BS... All these re-branded cos may be asking Chinese OEM about "What is the price of phones per KG?" and NOT consistent UI and s/w... And the second phone has ridiculously HUUUUUGE useless bezels (especially at the top)...

Oh, Got it now. That's like the earlier nokia phones with only numeric keypads where we could type text using T9. I find it much better to just type the characters (a,b,c..) on the qwerty keyboard which comes up in dialer on Z10. But you can install your favorite T9 dialer Android APK on the Blackberry Z10. I thought everyone knew that, but in case you haven't tried that just install Amazon market OR Snap and install your favorite android apps. Download the APK of the T9 dialer. Then email or copy the file to your Z10. Open the file manager on Z10 and click the apk, it will install. (select allow non market apps in Settings). This is for OS 10.2.x . If you are still on 10.1.x then you need to install the APKs from a PC/Laptop using USB cable. Read more here & here See the screenshots of my Z10 with Google Play android apps below below :-
