And slice their coverage and speed in half, too.
Sprint has the smallest native coverage and the slowest native network of the big four carriers. Anyone who switches to Boost is going to be in for a rude awakening.
Huge mistake, FCC
If this is true, the FCC is really getting this one wrong. 30MHz reserve is not enough.
Re: An MVNO piggybacking on both Sprint & T-Mobile, WHOOPEE!!!
T-Mobile is going to launch native coverage in Montana by the end of this year (2015). This should be the coverage by EOY 2015: http://i.imgur.com/9zhIg80.png
No, it's not a lot in geographical terms (MT is a big state!), but they're going to hit most of the big population centers which exist in the western part of the state.
Re: Trendforce users unite!
Trendforce was a special program they had, I was a member.

I wouldn't call the V540 ghetto-low-end :-P. There's gotta be more... somewhere.
Re: Good basic phone
I prefer motorola, but I've heard mixed reviews of their entry-level V180 phone, so I would stray away from that.
For something simple, the Samsung SGH-C207 fits the bill perfectly. Its small, lightweight, and gets a 4.4 out of 10 reviews on hofo. Not too many bells and whistles, color screen is about it.
For something with more, I'd reccomend the Nokia 6230, you add Bluetooth, VGA camera, MMC expansion slot, EDGE data.
Compare the two here: https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/compare.php ?id%5B%5D=574&id%5B%5D=408&id%5B%5D=&id%5B%5D =&id%5B%5D=
Re: Problems with V635
If you flash to the 6FR firmware, you'll have 0 problems. My 24R firmware was weird sometimes it'd freeze (very occasionally) and I didnt like how it didnt have american english.
6DR was bad because I got weird texts after I checked my voicemail.
88R seemed to have slightly laggy menus.
So I flashed to the 6FR monsterpack, and the 0003 language pack, and I love it now.
Re: Help Please! Small detail, but annoying - Other Languages
What SIM are you using? Mine just automatically picks towers.
I used a SEEM edit to get rid of the roaming triangle.
Re: Help Please! Small detail, but annoying - Other Languages
Change it to predictive english. hit the button that looks like "=" thats between cancel and insert. then goto entry setup.
Change "Primary Setup" to "iTAP English".
Change "Secondary Setup" to "TAP English".
If the dictionary is still being dumb, if you have a data cable you can flash the 0003 language pack (has American English instead of UK English). I'd also upgrade to firmware R474_G_08.48.6FR while I was at it.
Oh, and lastly, if you use iTap English it will add words ...
Re: That is Crazy - Verizon's customer service is far superior to Cingular's
I have a cingular phone, and every time ive had to call customer service, they are in america or canada.
Sprint? India.
Verizon? America.
So I guess in that respect, cingular and verizon are tied.

Re: Data Cable or Bluetooth Dongle
naxxie said:
oh ok im not that tecnically minded could you offer any instructions for me.
Lol.. the first post I made were instructions on using bluetooth and XP SP2 to download/upload things. If you want, www.howardforums.com is probably the place you want to go to ask questions regarding flashing/flexing.
Re: Data Cable or Bluetooth Dongle
My instructions were on how to use Windows built in bluetooth capability to do pictures/videos/music(ringtones)/ and games.
Flashing is a different animal, you gotta get some firmware (charge your phone battery 100%) then flash with PST. It takes a little time.
Id stick to the bluetooth adaptor and windows built in capability, its so easy.
Re: Data Cable or Bluetooth Dongle
Mine came with my phone... so.. filesharing networks seem to have it.
This one has alot of sources if you use eMule: ed2k://|file|Motorola%20Mobile%20Phone%20Tool s%20V3.11h%20Multilang%20Includ%20Media%20Stu dio%20All%20Motorola%20ISO.nrg|730923164|0535 6967AA1F390765A50C3F5F531BD9|/
Otherwise, I think superdavex's site has it also, I know he has Motorola PST (For flashing with). http://www.inetron.com/ is superdavex's site, he is the V710 firmware hacker. Make a login, login, click "Mobile Section" on the left then "V710 Downloads" and on page 3 it has something thats like 50MB that says "MPT3_VStuff.rar" which may or may not ...
Re: Flash Memory
It uses "Transflash" sometimes referred to as "MicroSD" (NOT MiniSD!).
I have a 256MB card in and it works fine, but it should work fine with the 512MB cards too. No word yet on if 1GB cards are on the horizon but I'd say 6 months.
Re: Data Cable or Bluetooth Dongle
Alrighty, go into the phone and under connection change "memory card" to "data/fax connection".
Secondly, if you are using the bluetooth dongle, you totally dont need MPT if you have XP (SP2). Just install whatever drivers your bluetooth dongle comes with and go to "My computer" then "my bluetooth connections". Follow up by turning bluetooth on, then click "find bluetooth devices" right after you tell your phone to "make discoverable".
Now, it'll ask you to make a pin, so you can ...
Re: Data Cable or Bluetooth Dongle
I have both, and they each have their pros and cons. With the bluetooth dongle you cant flash firmware, but if that doesnt matter, then I'd get the bluetooth dongle just because it's so damn easy to use.

Re: Other store - Radio Shack
http://www.radioshacksucks.com/phpBB/
I feel that this is more than appropriate.
Anyway, RadioShack is an alright place to buy phones from only if you get your phones from a busy store (where they do at least a phone a day to stay sharp), and you ask the salesman all the right questions.
Re: V635 Swivel Holster?
Nismotic said:
I never asked whether or not it was made of leather or pleather. It was merely an opinion, so if you cannot answer the question, your reply is not needed.
Why don't you cry about it.
Re: V635 Swivel Holster?
Nismotic said:
All i saw were pleather cases with the belt holster clips. (which are hideous btw)?
Whether or not they are as hideous as your comment, they are in fact made of real leather.
Re: Charger?
eltupac is referring to this $4 adaptor.
http://www.radioshack.com/product .asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&product%5Fid=273-140 6
This in fact, is the plug that I bought and you'll need. This does not convert voltage, but thats not needed because the plug is actually "worldwide" voltage, just has the wrong style plug (european instead of US).
Re: internet on v635
1.) Very good.
2.) Only limited by internal memory (no idea what the max is... its only like 176x110, so do the math)
3.) No idea, I never used picture caller ID.
4.) Hmm... I dont see why not, but I'd confirm with a reputable and knowlegable cingular rep first.
Re: Questions about the phone
Video length is only limited by memory. I've only tested a few minutes before getting bored and stopping.
You can set it to "MMS" length so your videos are short enough to send to others. Otherwise you can use bluetooth or the included USB data cable (and included software) to pull the videos off yourself.
Re: Cases
I had the same problem as you... all the cases on the market, and there are only 2 that are meant for the V635.
Krussel makes a V635 case but I thought it was ugly because its mostly clear plastic on the front (available on ebay).
Also, Onni makes a custom leather case for the V635 (which is what I got) and it is one of the finest cases I have ever gotten. I got mine at motophonecases.com and got this ...

I totally agree with bofis that has been a major concern with OBEX Security.
You're right, and thats why OBEX is designed to be relatively secure.
Let's take a look at what you have to actually do to GET one of these trendy new viruses, step-by-step.
First, your Bluetooth phone must have Bluetooth turned on and be "discoverable." Second, you must be within range of an infected handset, typically within 30 feet. Third, while ...
Re: funky error on v635
I think this happens only when the transflash is installed, try taking it out.
Re: v635 Accessories
Dang, I missed another one.
It came with a CD that I basically wrote off as being unimportant because it was all "learn about new products" on the label...
..but it comes with (Motorola mobile PhoneTools 3.21 US), full version. Sweeeeet.
Re: v635 Accessories
Oh, also:
Stereo Earbud Headset with Microphone
Makes mp3 listening nice.
Re: v635 Accessories
What came in my box:
Phone with Battery
Worldwide (100-240V) travel adaptor with european style plug.
32MB Transflash Card with SD Adaptor
Instruction Manual, Quickstart Guide, Warranty Book
USB Data Cable
It does not come with a SIM unless you activate it with service.
Re: cingular service
I heard you needed to use SIMs produced by Axalto for the Treo. They have the letter "A" instead of "G"
Apparently the ones made by Gemplus produced problems (in the Treo, but not any other phones as far as is publically known).
If your Treo has been behaving 'strangely' you should check the make of your SIM card which will sport a "G" or "A" after the 5 digit SKU. If you have a "G" card (for Gemplus) and ...
Re: Paper Contracts
I thought we just um... did it via the phone with no paper contract when fast is down.
Re: Question
If the adapter isnt a US adaptor, there are a few things you can do.
Some adaptors are actually worldwide (110-240V) but just have the wrong plug, so you can get a simple plug adaptor.
Otherwise, I'd reccomend just buying a normal US house charger before buying a voltage converter.

Re: telemarketing from Verizon
The girl in the credit dept. really made it sound like verizons hands were tied, she put me on hold for a bit to talk to her supervisor, and came back all "yeah, this sucks but there isnt anything we can do". We even did a 3 way call with the company and they basically said the lady should have read what she signed more closely.
Thing is, the contract said 15 days on it, but they kept saying they ...
Re: Leather case?
Oh, and not obstruct any portion of the external LCD. I guess thats obvious, but just to clarify.
Leather case?
Does anyone have a custom-fit leather case for their v635? (No pouch)
I'd prefer a motorola case, but as long as its made with real leather I'm cool with it. Also, I'd prefer that it interfere as little as possible with the camera when flipped open.
Re: telemarketing from Verizon
FWIW I've seen only one customer ever telemarketed, and it wasnt from verizon. There is a company called "Cellular Phone Company" out of (if memory serves, its been awhile, I believe Bloomfield NJ).
Anyhoo, they sold her a phone, told the lady that her contract was about to expire and if she didnt renew, she'd lose her phone number.
And apparently they only have a 7 day return policy, and the lady was on her 15th day (the normal return policy ...
