Re: Updating problem
Had the same problem myself. After three tries with the same error message called VZW and they walked me through an alternative procedure. Excellent tech was very helpful and patient. Good luck
Re: Love the New OS .148 from VZW!!!
Seems to be alot faster but I have noticed that there is a hesitation sometimes making an option selection. I found that it would not move to my selection unless I waited about 5 seconds and tried again. The portrait keyboard is a nice addition but sometimes hard to use if you have fat fingers! Still way better than OS.75.
Re: found out why!!
What makes you say that we will not want to know the os version?
ActiveX and the BB 8830
Does anyone know if ActiveX can be loaded into the BB 8830 so that certain websites that require ActiveX can be viewed? Regards,Tom
Re: VZNavigator for Verizon 8830
Had the same problem myself. Called verizon and they directed me to do the following:
go to options/advanced- options/applications/vznav
with the curser on vxnav, then using the bb key (one with the berries) ...go to "edit persmissions" and change "connections and Interactions to ALLOW rather than Custom.
save the change, restart the bb and That should clear it up...good luck
Disappointing News Regarding VZ Nav
Talked to tech support a VZW and they indicated that availability date of the download for the 8830 allowing VZ NAv is unknown at this time but expected either in late Nov or sometime in Dec. Looks like it will be a while yet.
Re: Still Would Appreciate Input on Background Noise
what option is "enhanced audio" under in options?
Re: BB 8830 vs Moto Q
I have had the first generation Q for 2 years and traded up to the new Q about a month age. I kept the phone for about a week and decided to try the 8830. Hands doen the 8830 is a far superior smartphone, this coming from a diehard moto person. The only issue wit the 8830 is the ringer in that it is a little anemic as far as loudness, but all things considered the ...
Re: Seems Like a Waste of Time
As both a past Q owner and most recently a 9m owner I can agree with most everything you have said. The resident color color schemes are not consistent with the typical business user in my mind...they should be more muted. The red band does not appeal to me but the idea of a metal surround does. The red fuction keys are very difficult to read althought the black keys with white lettering is much more ...
Re: wifi
What has been reported in the past by others is that the Q will not work with the available wifi mini sd card because the Q will not handle the power requirements of the card. My recollection is that someone actually tried the wifi card and I believe and it did NOT work. VZW has seen to it that their data package is required to get internet access and that is not likely to change since I ...
Q and WIFI
Any chance soon the Q will get a wifi capability?
Re: MOTO Q or XV-6700? WIFI QUESTION
Hello Wizzard,
Have you had any luck with using the spectec or other mini sd wifi card to receive wifi with the Q? I am anxiously awaiting your opinion as to whether wifi is possible on the Q. As far as I can see, wifi is the only missing feature on the phone. Regards
Re: MOTO Q or XV-6700? WIFI QUESTION
Note that the spectec wifi mini sd card, has been tried by others and reported on line not to work. I also called Motorola and they were the ones who provided the reason - a power requirments issue. I, and I'm sure many others would sure like to know if you are able to get it to work. As far as I can see the concious ommission of wifi is the only real significant ...
Re: MOTO Q or XV-6700?
I was under the impression that the Q did not have the power necessary to run the mini SD wifi chip that was available from spectec. Is there another that will work?
Re: Operamini
For the uninformed, what is operamini?
Re: Too much phone?
I am a user that has the same objectives as you and have had my Q since June of this year. I am very pleased with the Q for those operations exclusive of email. Seems like most of the users trying to get email have the problems. Since I am not one of those I had not had the issues people complain about. I can honestly say this phone has never frozen up on me ...
Re: NEW FIRMWARE UPDATE
John,
Please note that the website that you cited is for the SOFTWARE update not the FIRMWARE update. The FIRMWARE can only be updated by Motorola at this time.
Re: NEW FIRMWARE UPDATE
Rick,
the firmware upgrade doe not exist online or at the Verizon Store accordingly you have 2 choices as follows:
You can call vzw customer service and get them to send you a replacement after they understand the situation (note it will be a factory reman which is as new) or you can call Motorola and they will take the phone in and replace it with one that is up to date as well. VZW sent me the phone by ...
Re: NEW FIRMWARE UPDATE
my firmware id was as follows in the pre-production Q:
Q2-BP_C_ 04.08.04P
MP_BSP_C_01.07.05-08P_HW_P2.1
t o view on phone go to settings/phone settings/phone information
the correct id after upgrade is as follows:
Q2-BP_06.07.03P
MP_BSP_C_02.07.3 8-11P_HW_P2.1
Hope this helps....
Re: NEW FIRMWARE UPDATE
I will post the pre production firmware number tomorrow when I get to my machine at work. I don't have it here at home....
Re: NEW FIRMWARE UPDATE
Well I tried but was not successful. Apparently, the "firmware" version on my phone turned out to be a pre-production version of the firmware, and the software upgrade tool would not work with firmware versions before a certain date! There are many of us out there in this predicament from what I can gather from Moto. Those who bought early Q's may have received Q's with pre-production firmware. ANyway the options available are as follows:
send ...
Re: Heres what the Q Update will include.
I had also heard that wifi would be enabled with the firmware revision. Any truth to that information I received from a couple different tech support folks at Motorola? Thanks for posting the information you did. Regards,Tom
Re: Love my Q (flame as you may)
I too am very happy with the phone as I have reported in the past on this site. There are a few things I would like to see addressed by the firmware revision upcoming but in general this phone does most everthing I want and you should expect out of a phone. Items to address are
wifi capability,
Better reception indoors,
ability to synch notes, and
improved calendar displays.
Still a good phone that could be made great
Re: Save Contacts to miniSD
On a related issue, I maintain a fair amount of information in my outlook files and would like to keep my outlook data on a card if possible as the Q only has a 50 meg ram and I am using 36 megs right now. Is this possible?
Q firmware upgrade
Does anyone know when the Q firmware upgrade is going to be out and what it will include besides push capability?
Re: caller id pictuer?
I have been looking but have not found a resident way to do it. There is 3rd party software out there that will do that Ive seen but I do not recall the software title. The picture is unreasonably small in its current configuration.
Rumor Regarding WIFI
Any truth to the information I heard that the next firmware upgrade will allow the Q to be used as a modem and now allow the WIFI capabilities of the phone to be used with a mini SD WIFI card? Regards, Tom
Calendar Daily Display
Is anyone else disappointed that the daily calendar view only displays scheduled events rather than the complete workday? I was surprised that Moto did not allow viewing more than just the scheduled appointments. Is there some 3rd party software to take care of this, or is this something that might be added in future firmware revisions?
Re: ringtones
Looks to me like wavecentral.com is a private website belonging to mark garcia and family?????
Re: Weatherbug Software
You can if you have the data package which I do not at this time....
Re: ringtones
I'm with you , I would like some more conventional sounds rather than music.
Re: Weatherbug Software
Weatherbug is not a spywear program but rather a detailed weather report for anywhere in the world. It provides current weather information including forcasts, radar images etc.
Re: Weatherbug Software
The intersting part is that the software works when plugged into the PC and then only sporaticaly when uplugged. I hope they get it fixed soon as it seems like a good piece of software for weather related information. Thanks for your thoughts....
Weatherbug Software
I purchased the Weatherbug weather software from Handango and just found out that the software is not compatible at this writing with WM5. Be aware that the weatherbug and other websites specifically indicate it will work with any WM smartphone. I am not trying to get a refund from Handango. I will post the results of that effort.
On a general note, buying software from these small companies with nothing but email support that generally takes days ...
Re: HELP - Every 20 or less Minutes My Phone BEEPS an Awkward Sound I Need it OFFFFF
I too get the sound every 15 minutesd so I started thinking about it and came to the conclusion that it was the result of having "all day" events in the Outlook calendar, you know those one liners you put in Outlook at an unspecified time to remind you of something. If you look at the entry more carefully you will probably find that there is an alarm set at 15 mins that re-occurs until dismissed. That ...
Q and the mini wifi card
Has anyone been able to try the spectec mini SD card in their Q to determine whether id works or not?
Re: Whats the concensus?
I do not know....
Re: Whats the concensus?
I hsd originslly plsnnrd to go with Smartphone notes but hsd so much trouble with a buggy installation thst I went with Phatnotes. Phatnotes installed easily without a glitch and has worked flawlessly since installation. It took several sessions with a tech in Italy (where the software is supported from) to get all of the residual Smartphone notes software off of my PC, but I must say the tech was very patient and knew his stuff. ...
Re: Whats the concensus?
Here's my take.....I have had my Q for about a week. I purchased the Q because I wanted a motorola phone with the capability to sync with the Outlook calendar, contacts and notes DB's. As a nicety, I would like to have access to the internet, but I was not interested in email so I did not opt for the data services. In my mind all-in-one devices are a compromise and one must decide what he ...
