Is there a cdma version of this phone?
Is there a cdma version of this phone that can be unlocked and used on verizon?

Re: UMA
I was thinking the samething. Love the new android phones, but no UMA calling is a deal killer.
Looks like it's Blackberry again.
Re: What ever happened to the femtocell????
I'd love to know as well. VZW's CTO annouced it in April.
In a marginal area and a femtocell like sprint has with the airave would solve a lot problems - and keep us from having to move to sprint (which is horrible).
Re: Phone Logs are deleted
I'm on my 3rd and last 8130 (vzw). All have had the memory leak issue, but thats a software bug and still exists with the .97 update.
The other thing I've noticed with the .97 update is a lot more dropped calls or calls that fail to place at all.
So what started as a great phone (the first few weeks) has turned into a junker. Having to babysit a phone (watching the free memory, pulling the battery every ...
Re: GETTING MY PEARL MONDAY
I'm curious as well. When I talked to the rep - she said she'd pre-order it, but it wouldn't ship until the 8th -- and she wasn't sure how concrete that date was...
then I saw your post and few others on howard saying they got tracking #'s.
Re: Data Plan Options..
two options on vzw:
1) $25 for 10MB/mo (you'll burn past this pretty quick just checking email, etc)
2) $45 for unlimited - this is worthless as you can't use it as a modem.. just a way to milk extra cash out of you.
I've had the Q since it's release (well, re-release of the black one). I use about 60MB a month checking/sending email on 2 accounts.
What verizon needs to bump the $25 plan to something like 50MB ...
Re: I'd love to see a Verizon version of this...
same here (verizon version). however, not so much because of the music player, or any of it's features, but rather the size... thing is like an ipod nano.
Charger port - is it mini-usb?
Is the charger on this phone mini-usb (like the razr, Q, etc) or is it some LG specific connector?
Asking because I'm going to pick up the phone tomorrow, if it's mini-usb, I won't need to pickup a car charger for it :)
thanks.
Re: KRZR K1M vs. MP3 Ringtones
what about the old trick of creating an mp3 on the computer, renaming it to .mid and emailing to your phone? worked on the razr.
Re: Anybody know the answer??
1. From the main menu, type #073887* then type 000000 for the security code to enter the programming menu
2. Select ok
3. Scroll down to test mode. Enter the menu, highlight "enable" and press the right soft key to select
4. Reboot the phone
5. Hit the left soft key and the menu key simultaneously until a white screen appears with the letters "FTS" on top. This may appear automatically when the phone reboots
6. Hit the right soft key three times
7. Scroll ...
Re: Battery problems
I set the phone to CDMA only (1x), disabling Evdo. My battery life and talk time just about tripled.
Check howardforums for how to disable evdo (it's pretty easy).
the constant checking and switching between 1x and EVDO keeps the power amp on way too much and just drains the battery. Since I've got no use for evdo, this was the best tweak I've done in sometime.
Re: 6100 not recieving calls
Got the same problem.
Appaently verizon is aware of the issue but
doesn't have a solution.
Re: Anyone had experience with the Moto V710?
I've owned all three...
had the 4400 for a year - good overall phone.
lost it tho...
so I got the Moto V710 as a replacement. Very good reception (better than the 4400). However,
the phone is huge and I've only got so much
pocket space.
so swapped the 710 for my current phone the LG6100.
I too love the user interface on the LG's. It's intuitive and easy to use. However,
I also agree on the reception.. it kind of
sucks (relative ...
Re: Low Battery Beep - Plug in - phone still shuts down
any word on if it's something LG/verizon is
addressing?
it's a royal pita.. especially being a
heavy cell user.
Low Battery Beep - Plug in - phone still shuts down
Anyone else experience this:
You're on a call, low battery message
comes up - plug the phone into the
charger (and it says it's charging) yet
2-3 minutes later the phone powers down?
As though you never plugged in at all?
This happens every single time, so it's not
some one off thing.
I have noticed, if the battery is very low -
but I plug in BEFORE making the call, no
problems.
Basically. if you are on a call and
plug in when that message ...
Re: Samsung A670 vs. LG VX6100
1coolDude said:
Which is a better phone overall... in terms of battery life, camera, reception, etc? Thanks
LG 6100 is a much better phone.
Tri-Mode
Speaker Phone
User interface is much nicer (something LG
does very well).
front display - is it readable (v.s. a530?)
i just returned a A530 i picked up a week ago -
mostly because the outside LCD isn't readable
at all when it's not lit up. Never realized
how much i used it (to check time, don't wear
a watch anymore) since the A530 was to replace
my vx4400. The VX4400 is readable w/o turning
on the backlight.
So is the A670 better than the A530 in this
regard or the same?
thanks
Re: LG VX8000 vs Motorola V710
I'll probably go with the LG as well.
This last phone I've been using (vx4400) for
the last year has been flawless.
the only reason I'd consider the v710 is for
the amps support.
there's still a few places where you need
analog to get a signal in los angeles.
Re: Motorola V-710 Vs Motorola V600
if you are considering switching providers
to get a particular model of a cell phone
than I can have only one suggestion for you.
a life, get one.
Re: Who else is in my situation?
this is why I only sign up for 1 year contracts. You can upgrade at the subsidized
phone price at month 10.
you pay $30 more for the phone - but big deal.
it's a hell of a lot cheaper than paying
full retail when you got 22 months to wait.
Re: if this phone is $499 dollars, would you still get it???
not a chance I'd pay $499 bucks for that phone.
Re: Wait or Not
I'd wait.
In the meantime try the following:
bring up the menu list - hit 0 - enter 000000
for the password.
than go to option 3 (force mode) and set it
to "cell only"
this will disable analog support but still allow cdma/pcs. I've got it set in this mode
for the exact reason you mention. out in malibu
there is digital (weak but it works) but it
switches to analog but i can't get a call out
on it.
using an ear ...
Re: Talking while charging your phone?
no..you can talk on the phone while it's charging. I do it with both the car charger
and the home desktop charger.
For the home desktop charger, you just need to
take a dremel and carve out a little section of the base where a headset plugs into - then
you can attach your headset to the phone while charging and make calls.
Re: Very Interesting
fat chance of a dual technology phone.
it'd cost too much to make.
Re: Sprint Competition
Verizon is the best. I've had all 3 and spend alot of time in fringe areas (malibu, etc). Verzion has signal almost everywhere.
Re: Sprint Competition
I'll gladly take average feature phones + great coverage over what sprint offers anyday of the week.
Sprint's coverage is horrible. At least here in Los Angeles.
VX4400 system services menu questions
In the system services menu on the Vx4000 (0 off menu - password all zeros) - it has a force mode.
The options are:
Automatic
Cell Only
PCS Only
CDMA Only
Analog only
I understand what they all mean with the exception of "Cell Only".
I'd like to force the phone to only use digital signals (either verizons or sprints,
since we can apparently roam into their networks). Why? when I'm up in malibu the phone
jumps to analog mode, but I can't get a call out ...
Re: VX-6000 coverage
In areas where my Vx4400 jumps from digital to analog I usually can't get an call out anyhow, so I honestly don't think it matters.
