Re: Meh
I didn't just handle it. I bought it. It is amazing. No lag at all (other than loading the Droid control widget). Handles app switching and multitasking like a breeze.
I attribute much of the issues from the Droid Bionic up to now to Blur being embedded in android. That is not the case now that Google owns Moto. Blur is gone and it is pure fast android.
Re: Meh
I must disagree. The bloatware can be disabled - and I only have about 10 apps of bloat on mine. Someone must have downloaded some garbage on the demo model that doesn't actually come on the phone.
And for $299, with 32GB of storage and the amazing battery, this is well worth the money. Best Android phone on Verizon currently in my humble opinion.

How do you like your new maxx? I'm thinking ofreturning my galaxy s4 for it ..it's a tough decision Im coming from a razr maxx so I got used to the good battery life
I love mine. I was torn between the S4 and the MAXX but my battery nightmares on my S3 coupled with the build quality on the MAXX made the decision easy. I have charged it once on Tuesday and haven't plugged it in ...

sdgmcdon said:
No, that's not it...but thanks.
Verizon does charge more, but there are also several apps that don't require root to enable hotspot for free. I'm using one on my current samsung and it works fine.
Regardless on all previous phones I've had (RAZR, RAZR Maxx and RAZR Maxx HD) I've tried it both the app route and the route of actually paying verizon an additional $30/month on top of my grandfathered unlimited data plan...didn't work right on ANY ...

rechavoc said:
Yes it's kinda of interesting you said that. I think my final decision will be an LG Revolution too, until a better LTE Droid phone comes out.
Go ahead and get the Binged out Google phone. The revolution is just as bad as the Fascinate was. Enjoy that. :roll:
Re: Battery Life?
The battery is awesome. About double my moto droid. I can easily get through a full day and I'm a pretty heavy user.

1st Bad CS Experience in YEARS!!! Not Sure Where to Go From Here
My blackberry curve won't turn on at all. I have tried 3 different batteries, tried plugging it into the computer as well as the wall charger and nothing. The little red light won't even come on. Thus, I call customer service.
The gentleman I got (and I use that term loosely) went through all of the standard troubleshooting questions and then placed me on hold for 20 minutes so he could go "check what options we have" ...
Re: Verizon 8330
I just got my curve yesterday and mine doies the same thing. Doesn't seem to be a pronlem though. All of the keys work properly.
Re: ESPN MVP with Version 9
Personally, I HATE version 9. It is taking twice as long to load webpages and it scrolls horribly slow and I even changed that setting to fast for scrolling. Not to mention that the browser is now constantly running out of memory thus either powercycling the phone or turning it off completely.
My Voyager went from tolerable to a hunk of junk in 1 so-called upgrade. I love visual voicemail, but it isn't worth all of these ...
ESPN MVP with Version 9
Has anyone noticed that the alerts portion of ESPNMVP doesn't work with the version 9 update? Any idea when that will be available?
So Does It Really...
Erase all of your ringtones, games, and Get It Now apps when you get the v09 update for visual voicemail? I have read that it does, but others have said that only happens when the stores use the wrong updater. Can I get the firmware upgrade without erasing everything oshould I just wait til v10 so I don't lose everything twice??? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Mobile Email Upgrade
I noticed an upgrade to the mobile email program today because I couldn't sign into any of my accounts, and while it seems that the upgrade will make it work on the touchscreen now, which is awesome, I still can't access any of my accounts. Is anyone else having this problem? Any ideas how to fix it? I already tried removing the application and reinstalling it. Also tried powercycling the phone multiple times to no ...
Re: Body Glove Case not lasting
I agree. I have had mine just less than a month and mine is really starting to show wear. I know someone who has the glove and always uses the belt clip and theirs isn't showing wear at all. I keep mine in my pocket mostly and mine is starting to fall apart. There has to be something better for those of us that like to keep our phones in our pocket. The silicone ...

I have tried it with the web optimized and standard and can't get it to work. Any suggestions? Thanks
It's not working anymore. MobiTV either changed the URL's or started blocking non subscriber IP's.
THIS IS DEAD
All of the URL's have either been changed or mobitv has implemented some sort of IP Authentication. This can no longer be accessed.

Want TV on your voyager? You might want to take a look at this link before it gets taken down.

This is great. Only thing that sucks is there is not enough room in the favorites of the Voyager for all of the channels.

brucefulton said:
Zoom is application specific. There is no general zoom option that works on the phone outside of an application.
You seriously don't know how to read, do you???
I SAID 3 TIMES I WAS SPEAKING OF THE WEB BROWSER ZOOM ONLY!!!! That would be application specific zoom I am referring to, wouldn't it??? But, no thanks to you, I found the shortcut on my own. Thanks for nothing.
Re: Looking for Bruce Fulton
I am speaking only of the browser. Do I have to go into the zoom option in the browser menu to magnify the webpage, or is there a quick zoom option like there is on the iphone?
Re: service required?
Yes, turn red, not get purple plus signs on them. White with purple x's is how they are shipped.
Re: WRONG, WRONG AND WRONG
And I can tell you what both of mine are straight out of the box. White with purple X's. Are you telling me that my BRAND NEW PHONES JUST REMOVED FROM THE BOX AND PLASTIC PACKAGING have water damage before even being touched by any customers? I would have to think you are incorrect.
I just checked all of my old LG's (none of which have ever been near water). Here are the results:
VX8000 - ...
Re: Looking for Bruce Fulton
Is there a quick way to hit the magnifier? Or do I have to go into thebrowser menu every time I want to zoom in and out?
Re: WRONG, WRONG AND WRONG
They are not completely white on an LG. If your's is completely white, you are the one with water damage.
Re: service required?
I have to disagree with you. My phone has NEVER been wet and has purple on the water damage tape. My enV was the same way. AND my wife's Voyager just came in today and it had purple and white on the water damage tape. Since I have NEVER had a phone get water damage, I can't say this for sure, but I have to assume that on LG phones, the dotted water damage tape ...
Re: Looking for Bruce Fulton
I think what the OP is getting at is that it is not consistent and was hoping you could give us a way to make it consistent. I, personally, have had difficulty with this all of the time and all within the web browser. Sometimes, actually very rarely, I double tap a field in the web browser to open it up for me to type in, and it actually brings up the keyboard. 9 times out ...
Re: Help me understand a few things about Pearl vs EnV etc
VZWFTW said:
If I understand Correctly Then I dont think the Blackberry would Be the best choice nor the EnV or Voyager. None of these have access to Web Out of Box to be able to view web pages as they would be seen on a computer. Although Blackberry you can download a 3rd party Browser called Opera which works great. I would Recommend something like the Samsung I760. You can sync with your outlook and contacts and view web ...
Re: Which Companies get the best discounts?
I'm not going to say that a higher discount isn't available, but I have never seen one higher than what my wife and I get. Keep in mind that both CVS/Pharmacare and US Steel are Fortune 100 companies (maybe even Fortune 50). CVS/Pharmacare is the nation's largest mail order/retail pharmacy and US Steel is the nation's largest Steel company and second largest in the world.
Re: Which Companies get the best discounts?
I honestly don't remember what the process was. We have been with Verizon for 4 years and signed up for the discount right after we ported our numbers over. I think we needed something from our respective companies, but I'm not sure.
Re: Which Companies get the best discounts?
That is off of the plans. We both get 25% off of equipment and accessories, but we never use it on phones because you lose your new every 2 discount if you use your business discount. But if you are buying a phone at full retail, it comes in handy there.
Re: Which Companies get the best discounts?
I get the CVS/Pharmacare discount and it is 20%. My wife is with US Steel and her's is 19%.
Re: What is the best bluetooth headset??
I have the Jawbone and it is hands down the best headset that I have ever had. I can be standing next to a jackhammer and people can still hear me and I can hear them. The noise reduction technology on the jawbone is awesome.
Re: Best Case Is.....
Mine doesn't open all the way. It opens about 90%of the way. but won't open to the second click in the hinge that makes it flat open because of the plastic notches that go into the hinges. Any ideas?
Re: Best Case Is.....
I don't know what you mean. Mine won't open all the way because of those little plastic hooks on the back of the case that go into the hinges. It will open past the first click in the hinge, but won't go all the way open.
Re: Verizon Mobile IM?
I was getting billed data for using both Mobile IM and VZNav. This was confirmed by two Verizon Wireless customer service reps and a supervisor. That is one of the main reasons I switched from a Select plan to a Premium plan.
Re: Best Case Is.....
I do have one other question regarding the Body Glove case. Has anyone figured out a way to get the Voyager to open all the way with this case on? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated because, other than that, I really love this case.

Best Case Is.....
I have now gone through 5 cases for my Voyager and settled on the Body Glove rubberized snap on case. I shyed away from this case at first for the phone because it seemed to add so much bulk to the phone, but after going through the silicone case as well as several different pouches (all which left some sort of smudges or residue on the screen), I went with the BodyGlove rubberized case.
It does add bulk to ...
Re: What service do I need?
jwwade said:
I am going to get a Voyager at the end of the month. What service do I need to take advantage of the most features of this phone? Any thoughts on which is most cost effective?
Thank You
I definitely recommend the premium plan. I have it and absolutely love it. $79.99 for unlimited everything (data, email, navigator, internet, vcast, in network calling, txt/pix/flix messaging) and 450 daytime minutes.
