Firmware V4...

I just had firmware version 4 (T45VZV04) loaded today. The Voice Dialing menu has some new options and features, and it now speaks by default through the earpiece instead of the speaker phone...

However, you can turn the speaker phone on without having to dial or choose anything else, just by hitting up on the 4 way button - I did not notice that you could do this in the past...

Reception is the same as far as I can tell. I live in a fringe area, but have bo trouble making calls all digital...

All in all (after 8 months) the 4500 is still a great phone, and IMHO it blows away the newer Moto flips VZW currently has out...

I didn't even know there was a v3. How does one go about getting this loaded?

Hey all you have to do is go to a verizon wireless station that has a technical support and get them to update your software. You may notice a better reception along with easier use, it is a really good program

My reception is already excellent in Washington DC. What else is changed that you would recommend I get the update?

I just updated to the 04 firmware and now see the added options on the voice menu, but now I can't get it to respond to commands correctly. When I say "time" for instance, it goes to driving mode. I've trained and retrained the commands but it still makes mistakes. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. The Verizon tech could not explain it and only offered to give me a refurbished phone with the 02 firmware. ☚ī¸

🙂 Improved feature of V4: under version 2, a "scheduled event" could be edited by everything EXCEPT the date, which was a major bummer for me. This has been fixed now. note: the "schedule" feature has been moved from hitting the "7", to "8", properly under "TOOLS".

No matter what they do, they can't get v4 flash to work properly on my phone. In the past 3 weeks I have been given 3 phones and none of them will take the v4 flash. I have had the above problem 3 times in a row. They update the phone and then none of the voice commands work properly. I got so sick of it that I called customer service and they offered me a choice or the VX-4400 or the VX-4600, which is okay...But I did buy the VX-4500 for the functionality and the speakerphone. So, my VX-4400 is on the way in the mail and I'm not very happy about it. I wish they would just let me upgrade to another phone, since it's not really my fault that the phone doesn't work. Any suggestions???

Sorry about your misfortune, the first time that I had it installed I dropped it and the screen messed up. So I went and had it replaced(didn't tell them about me dropping it) then I had it replaced and updated again. It works great for me, I can't wait till the vx8000 comes out.
