qi wireless charging?
I just got the note 2 on Verizon and it looks as though the back plate is already qi wireless charging ready...? I haven't been able to actually place it on a charging pad yet to verify but is this the case? Do the Verizon models come with it?
Re: Three questions, anyone know?
Oh, and does anybody know what power saving mode ACTUALLY does? Slow cpu speed? Just dim screen? What?
Three questions, anyone know?

Second, everytime i get a new email or text the cameras led flash flashes, how can i turn that off?
Anyone know how to get rid of lookout without rooting?
Thanks!
Re: Reset of phone because of built in battery?
No problems with it at all and I've had droids since they began coming out...At first with droids I did have to pull the battery a lot (but I also had to with Palms and Windows phones before Droids)...Since the Bionic though it's been pretty rare that I've had to. I did have one razr that had issues (VZW replaced it) and I had to do it on that one a few times, even then it didn't have a ...
Anyone get the 2.3.6 OTA update yet?
I've been reading since early this morning that this is being pushed out to phones now, but I have yet to see it on mine...anyone else get it yet (besides the leaked version)?
Re: Reset of phone because of built in battery?
I've had the RAZR and now the RAZR Maxx...I've had no problems doing a reset using the low volume button and power button together.
Considering Apple has been doing the non-removeable battery thing for what, like 4 years now, I don't understand why this is such a concern for people.
Radio Improvements?
Does anyone now have the maxx that had the razr? I have read on a few reviews (even from engadget) that the maxx not only has a better battery, but also that the radios were tweaked and as a result it gets better/more stable signal?
Anyone experience that?
data and tethering connection problems...anyone else?
I'm on my 2nd razr and I'm still having multiple data connectivity issues...the phone regularly drops its data connection then reconnect, additionally tethering has been virtually useless, right now I'm writing this on the phone while my laptop is connected to its hotspots in a 4g/LTE coverage area and my laptop (nor my ipad) can browse websites but they are both connected to the hotspots...at the same time my phone is browsing without a problem (albeit its dropped the ...
Any Calling/Connection/Text problems out there?
I just bought the razr a few days ago and VZW just replaced it yesterday; thinking/HOPING the first one I got just happened to be a dud.
Basically it wouldn't make calls or ring when someone was calling on occassion; same with texts. It would work, then not, then work, then not etc...I would have to do the "resend text message" a bunch of times before it would send one, in a good 4g coverage area with full bars...Or make ...
Re: Otterbox & docking
Did you get the defender series one? I originally got that one for my bionic and was amazed how massive it made the phone so I returned it and got the commuter series and as any case would it added bulk but not so much that I couldn't deal with it easily...I just ordered commuter series for the Razr I just picked up yesterday, hopefully it doesn't completely erase the thinness of this phone though obviously I know it ...
Re: hmmm.
The bionic is my 3rd Motorola DROID (x, x2 and now bionic) and I've had / used many other droids (HTC's, samsungs etc) and Iphones including the 4 on AT&T and verizon...motorolas droids are hands down the best out there...period (imho).
The reliability, speed, capabilities, call quality etc far surpassed all others ... only problem I see with them throughout the line is the camera software stinks, but I didn't buy it for the camera.
Re: Be Careful with the "Simultaneous Voice/Data Claims
I have the thunderbolt in a 3g only area (though our airport has 4g coverage, but I'm not near it) and I can talk and surf at the same time without a problem...it's actually the reason I won't be returning the phone (I like my droix x widgets better, but I like being able to talk and surf more).
So...not sure where you're getting your information, but it's wrong.
Anyway to get Droid X widgets on this thing?
I picked up the thunderbolt as I was bored with my droid X and wanted 4G. I like it for the most part but if it weren't for the fact that I can browse the web while on a call (even in 3g only areas) I would consider returning it because there are some widgets on the droid X that I like a LOT better. News, Calendar, Quick contacts etc...heck the droid x keyboard is better too.
I found ...
Re: Verizon iPhone 4 vs Droid X
Yea, the iphone 4 in terms of quality construction of the device and polishing of the OS is just about flawless, makes my droid x seem like something made by Mattel by comparison, but they REALLY dropped the ball on functionality.
Too bad...
Re: VZN Sucks
Is this suppose to make sense? Cause, ya...it doesn't.
Re: VZN Sucks
And what would another carrier have done here? ... Same thing...
We have 3 lines of service as well and our monthly bill is $300...I'm not eligible either but I didn't blame verizon...I'm the one that started a 2 year contract last summer.
(of course, I found a way around it though; upgraded on my data plan for my laptop; those plans have been available for upgrades for years - the iphone however is going back).
Verizon iPhone 4 vs Droid X
So I've had the droid x since it came out, just received the verizon iphone 4 yesterday and well...I think it's going back; wanted to see if I'm missing something first.
The 2 reasons that the iphone is going back essentially add up to the droid being more functional.
1) Droid widgets, none existent on iphone
2) Native voice to text on droid, missing on iphone. All the app store options I found for iphone defeated the purpose (quick easy voice ...
Tether& alk at the same time?
Wondering if you can use the iphone to tether for a laptop to use the internet connection from it AND talk on it at the same time?
Thinking with AT&T's new plans we may be able to save money by doing this as right now we have dedicated accounts for our laptops through Verizon - quite expensive.
Since I've heard you can browse the internet and talk at the same time on AT&T's network thinking we may be able ...
Re: Phone Ringing during call.
ROFL!!!
Review the phone, not the service...jeez...
Bruiins1990 reviewed the phone, 3 out of 5...complained about coverage...did he/she not realize that was a review of the PHONE not the service?
Come on...
I do have a problem after all...
I use conference calling on my cell phone ALL THE TIME...Just realized there doesn't appear to be a way to do this on the Sprint Treo Pro . . . anyone figured this out?
Re: Palm Treo Pro Reception
Yea, I pretty much ignore bars anymore...doesn't seem to be a reliable measuring stick for being able to use the phone regardless of carrier.
Re: Palm Treo Pro Reception
Whats the issue? We have two of them now and so far so good...Weve had some fluke issues, minor, but I chalked them up to WM glitches, remove/replace batter to restart it and problem gone...Nothing more than that?
Fit to screen in Internet Explorer...? Anyone?
So, bought two of these now (myself and wife)...LOVE THE PHONE. But one thing is driving me freakin' nutts! HORIZONTAL SCROLL in internet explorer...
I seem to recall in WM6 (6.1? Earlier?) there was a "zoom level --> fit to screen" option...this option isn't on the Sprint Treo Pro - Anyone found a way to do this?
Sure, there is a setting for mobile mode and desktop mode for viewing sites, but the mobile mode still scrolls horizontally (on sites ...
Response on Chapelhill review of this phone
"Finally HUGE plus... Someone finally remembered to put the charging port back on the bottom of the phone. It's about time. I think this is because (I think) this phone is manufactured by HTC. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong."
Actually I've owned I'm sure all Treo's since the 650, all have always had the charging port on the bottom...so it's not remembering to do it with palm/treo's, it's one difference between a Q and the Treo.
As for ...
Quick/Moderate Review
My wife and I are on VZW, long story short the only phones we're comfortable with are WM Treo's. VZW obviously doesn't have a new one, Sprint is $110/month cheaper for us than VZW, so when the 800w hit we tried it...I tried it for about 2 weeks, thought it was ok, not amazing but not bad either. Ported our numbers over, within 24 hours my wife was demanding to go back to VZW as she hated the call ...
Lacking in too many ways...
Neat idea, but this thing doesn't even sync calendar, contacts, email etc with a smartphone/exchange server mailbox...DURRR...They targeted at busy business professionals and didn't think that would be an important feature?
...Purely a waste of money.
Re: iR Port?
Sucks...I know not everyone has a use for iR, but for those that do it's a requirement most of the time...And it's getting replaced with WiFi which to me is the MOST pointless addition to a smartphone, I mean if you need a smartphone email, calendar etc on your phone and solid office capabilities on it, do you really have time to find a useable "hot spot" to be able to send/receive? Just seems pointless since most smartphones are ...
iR Port?
I know this says it doesn't have an iR port, but so do a few other phones on here that do have them...Anyone with one of these confirm whether it has one or not? I'm thinking of getting the phone but cannot if it doesn't have iR (for a business application I use, has to have iR connectivity).
Thanks!
Re: Any word on Treo Pro on Verizon?
You're completely clueless, it's amazing.
Re: Any word on Treo Pro on Verizon?
This is an online forum so there always has to be at least one ass...
Re: Any word on Treo Pro on Verizon?
Apparently I do? And of course you're certainly entitled to YOUR OPINION.
Have a nice day.
Any word on Treo Pro on Verizon?
Evidently Sprint is yet again getting another WM Palm Treo, the Pro, while Verizon hasn't even gotten the 800w Sprint got months ago.
Does anyone know for sure if Verizon is getting the Treo Pro since now we know there is a CDMA version that Sprint is getting?
If so, time frame? Days? Weeks? Months? Never?
Thanks!
Re: Saga vs.....
I tried the saga and must say that the implementation of Windows mobile on other devices (aside from Palm) is disappointing to say the least. If you're still on the 700wx, give it a few more months when hopefully VZW will release one of the new treo's - I hope!
Re: Has VZW Ditched Palm? 800w? Treo Pro?
Crossing fingers now :-)
Re: Has VZW Ditched Palm? 800w? Treo Pro?
Well, like I said we've got a few months more on our contracts, if still nothing available then, AT&T here we come (we tried sprint already, on VZW we drop maybe 2-3 calls a month, on sprint we were dropping 2-3 calls a day - so a no go there).
Just sucks that VZW doesn't focus on a good variety of phones to choose from and instead seems to focus on a once in a while exclusivity with a random ...
Re: Has VZW Ditched Palm? 800w? Treo Pro?
Our business is seasonal (it doesn't "end" in a given season, just slows quite a bit) and thus yes, we would save a bundle because we could lower our minute plan and use excess minutes gained in the slow season when things pick up in the busy season.
As for the blackberries, I've tried those too, major problems with those too in terms of business use, we need access to our full exchange mailboxes (sub folders etc) which blackberries ...
Re: Has VZW Ditched Palm? 800w? Treo Pro?
Almost forgot, with the touch pro and other smartphones we see, have played with etc they all seem to be focused on the "pro-sumer" and while I'm sure that's quite nice for a lot of people we are extremely heavy & mobile business users and have no time or patience for "pro-sumer" minded devices. So while the Touch Pro might be cool looking, slick working etc it's far too cumbersome for us to get around on it and do ...
Re: Has VZW Ditched Palm? 800w? Treo Pro?
Honestly, coming from Treo's running Windows Mobile I could NEVER understand why people hated Windows Mobile so much...then I got the Saga...Now I get it.
I'm not sure if it's Palm altering the hell out of Windows Mobile for their Treo's or everyone else altering the hell out of it and Palm just putting a "base" install of it on the Treo's, but it's just soooooooo much easier to use, straight forward, one click operation for most things, the ...
Has VZW Ditched Palm? 800w? Treo Pro?
I know of course VZW still has the centro, the old 755P and the REALLY OLD 700wx, but is VZW EVER planning on releasing another WM Palm Treo? 800w? Treo Pro?
Just waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting...the waiting is getting old.
I know "Omnia", "Saga", "Touch" etc...None of those phones meet the needs of a TREO user (even tried th Saga since I was sick of waiting...TRIED to like it for a week and finally sent ...
