Re: BB Bold calls are muffled sounding to the people I call
Finally figured out the muffled call issue. Thanks for the help.
Hold the BB naturally, finger tips on edge left side of phove (volume rocker side), thumb along the right edge.
Make sure mic hole is aimed at the center of your palm and at mouth level.
Finally, hold the phone out from your face slightly.
Phone call quality out was significantly improved.
My only issue is I shouldn't have to work so hard for good voice quality! Oh well. I ...
Re: BB Bold calls are muffled sounding to the people I call
I guess I am a perfectionist. I like a phone to have crystal clear voice capability. This used to be a standard on a BlackBerry. It is ridiculous to have to hold a phone in a certain way to get better voice sound. Which by the way doesn't work very well.
I returned the Bold 3 times and it is the same issue. WHAT HAPPENED TO QUALITY!!!!!
I have called Verizon...give them a test call..and they ...
OS 6 for the Bold 9650???
When will Verizon release OS 6 for the Bold?
Re: Half duplex ... really?
RIM is so far behind it is just a matter of time before they become Palm like. RIM is arrogant, customer service is poor, and frankly their phones have gotten worse.
I have the Bold 9650 only because I have to, not because I want to. BB used to have the best sound quality. Now it is mediocre at best. My phone sounds muffled and I have tried 3 different Bolds thinking it had to be defective. ...
BB Bold calls are muffled sounding to the people I call
Blackberry used to be the standard in clear voice quality. I mean in the past a Blackberry was as close as you could get to landline sound. I have been very frustrated because calls coing in are very clear, but I sound muffled to others. I called my work voice mail and left a message and the call did sound muffled. I have done a complete wipe and still it sounds muffled. I even ...
Best Applications for the BB Storm 2
What applications do you recommend as absolute must haves for the BB Storm 2?
Re: just say NO!!!
I went paperless a long time ago. I have to say I am sick of all this "Green" marketing. I think we should take care of the environment, but come on give it a rest
Re: 3GS Voice dial w Bluetooth????
Voice dial works perfectly for me. I assume you are speaking English without a strong accent.
Re: How is the reception ??
AT&T Network needs to be improved. Inside buildings AT&T's network does not seem to penetrate very well. I was glad to see they are upgrading, but I will wait an see.
iPhone call quality is great. If AT&Ts network was better I would be thrilled. I am keeping my fingers crossed. If Verizon gets the iPhone...I'll drop AT&T instantly! (I will pay the penalty gladly to get more consistent reception)
Re: Turn by Turn Nav?
AT&T just released their GPS Navigator. I installed it on my IPhone and it works well. I previously purchased Navigon, it is ok, not great..loses signal.
Just load AT&T Navigator, but remember it costs 10 bucks a month.
Re: 3GS - Network Issue
I have the same problem, but I think it is the AT&T network. It is inconsistent and drives me nuts. I am in a very strong 3G area....but the signal will switch to Edge and almost no bars. AT&T is a network that must be having problems they simply will not or can not fix. Maybe it is the Union workforce. Unions generally succeed in making a workforce weak and eventually killing a company. ...
Re: Phone gets HOT!
My gets slightly warm, but never hot. No warmer than any other phone.
Re: Call quality and reception?
Call quality is excellent on my iPhone 3Gs. Reception is not even. I think that is due to the AT&T network. They just cannot seem to fix their network. Love the AT&T phones, especially the new iPhone, but I am not happy with the weak network. I cannot understand how it is possible for me to have great reception and then poor reception in exactly the same spot. 3G then to Egde. ...
Re: Just because
I have owned the HTC Touch Pro and the iPhone. I also have owned many other smartphones. The iPhone is soooooo much better than the HTC Touch Pro. The Touch Pro needed numerous tweeks for it to operate half as fast as the iPhone. The touch interface on the Touch Pro is fair and not consistent. The iPhone has the only touch interface of all touch phones that works like it should.
My only complaint about ...
Re: Battery Life
Go to "Nessages" in Menu select "Settings". On the E-mail set-up screen select "Sen/Receive Schedule." Under "Automatic Send/Receive" you can select your interval.
Removing the back of the Jack
Removing the back of the Samsung Jack is a nightmare. Any tips on how to do it without destroying the phone???
Seems like Samsung could have made this a little easier!!!
Re: e71x or samsung jack?
I have tried both. I much prefer the WM 6.1 (upgradeable to 6.5) of the Jack. Both are similar devices. Build on the Nokia is slighlt better and it is a bit thinner. Key boards are basically equal, both good. I could not get the Nokia to sync with my work computer. I am able to sync and use Xpress mail to get my work email, and calendar with the Jack.
I also like ...
GPS through contacts
I would like to be able to go into Contacts and be able to "Get Driving Directions" through a menu choice. That would then link into GPS and get ATT Navigator engaged with the address of the Contact I selected. The BlackBerry does this and so do other phones.
Why is this a problem!! It is sooooooo simple.
Re: big issue!!
Call Verizon, it is an easy fix. The browser just needs to be reenabled through settings.
Re: Pearl of curve
Depends on what you want. I prefer the Pearl due to size. However you have to get used to the sure type keyboard. Personally I love the sure type key board, it is MUCH faster for me.
When will there be a new Pearl Replacement?
I really liked my BB Pearl. I cannot understand why there isn't a new version out yet. It is the right size, but in needs huge upgrades - better screen, more memory, WiFi, 3G speed etc.
Frankly verizon doesn't have a great phone these days. None of their new PDAs is rated well. The Storm was a huge disappointment, the HTC Touch Pro is not very responsive and it has the worst keybaard of any of ...
Re: jack or nokia e71x?
I now have the Samsung Jack. The Jack is definately better than the Nokia. Love this phone!
Re: jack or nokia e71x?
I ordered the Nokia E71x and was impressed with the build and size. Unfortunately the Nokia PC Suite would not allow me to sync with my work computer. My Windows Mobile phones have never had a problem. I spent hours on this issue and even was sent directly to Nokia. They had no idea what to do either.I even sent back the Nokia and got a second E71x and had the same problem. I was ...
Re: Land of the "free"...yeah right!
Exactly....on a practical note...Grandma and Grandpa want to take a picture of the sleeping baby..CLICK!!!!
WAAAAAAWWWWWWAAAAA - Great..How can our government waste time on laws this stupid! Congress is a disgrace.
Re: They should have
This is what our Government is doing for us?! This is the kind of garbage they are supporting? With Pelosi's $200,000,000 for contraceptives and this delay...why should we not absolutely trust the Government. After all they know more than all of us! I am sooooo glad I am not a Democrat..it is embarassing..REALLY!
Re: This is absurd
This is absolutely absurd. It is the principle of the thing! It begins with camera clicks and ends with complete control. Government has become way too intrusive and is getting worse! Liberals want to control thinking, acting, what you can or can not do, tell you what is good for you, what isn't, what kind of car you can drive, what radio shows you can listen too and so it goes. The new administration wants ...
Re: VZ Navigator - Mapping from address book?
Yes I have 6.1, but don't have any of the options you describe. Is the problem with Verizon? Is there a fix?
VZ Navigator - Mapping from address book?
Is it possible to navigate to a paticular address by importing from the PDA Address book to Navigator or to go into the address book and select an address to navigate to? Having to type in every address is a pain.
On a Blackberry, for example, I was able to go directly to the address book, select "Get directions to.." and it would turn on Navigator, with no manualb entry. I could also get an address from my ...
Re: New Phone Time
The EnV2 is a great phone, with good call clarity, and good battery life.
Is AT&T a good carrier to use?
I have tried AT&T and really want to like them but I have found their network to be inconsistent. I tried the network with a Blackberry Curve and then again with a Tilt. Both times I had many bars one minute and then a coupel the next. I would have 3G and then not have it in the same 30 minute period in the same place.
Is there a problem with AT&T's network. I am hearing ...
Is Sprint a good carrier to use?
I am currently a Verizon customer. I tested the Sprint network recently with a Treo 800w. My experience was disappointing. I had the unlimited plan (A great idea). I also liked being able to force EVDO Rev. A. However I found the following issues:
1. Coverage was not as good as Verizon.
2. Voice Clarity was inconsistent, great sometimes and then poor others.
3. The Treo 800w was supposed to be able to be ...
Re: Skype Mobile on the Treo 800w??
Yes skype mobile works on the 800w. You can use it with EVDO or WiFi. It allows you to select WiFi alone or EVDO and WiFi. So it doesn't matter what connection you use.
Re: Sprint Navigation on the Treo 800w
I found the answer myself:
You can view a map of a contact's address directly from your Today screen.
1. Make sure your phone is turned on and that you are inside a coverage area.
2. Go to your Today screen.
3. Using the keyboard, begin entering one of the following for the contact you want to map:
First name.
Last name.
First initial and last initial separated by a space.
First and last name.
4. Highlight the contact's name and press Center .
5. Select Find. (The Maps ...
Re: Battery life???
So is there an extended battery for the Treo 800w? I am disappointed with the battery life and without an extended battery it is a real problem.
Sprint Navigation on the Treo 800w
I have the Treo 800w and Sprint Navigation. I was disappointed that I can not select an address from Contacts and navigate to the address without having to type it in. I am also a Verizon Customer and with TeleNav on my Blackberry I can simplyload my contact's address and then use GPS to get there.
Sprint's Navigation has a place to load contacts from the phone, but it only pulls name and phone number which is absolutely ...
