Re: camera sounds
I have it for Zoom and Brightness, but not for Shutter. I've seen messages about creating a blank wav file and saving it as shutter1, or something like that. but when I tried to save the file on the blackjack, I received an error that it is locked. A Shutter sound off option would be very nice!
Re: awww
My first cell phone in 1997 was a Mitsu, and it was quite the pos.
Browser
So how is the browser on the Curve? I used a Pearl for a day and the browser was painfully slow, but email messaging was awesome. I have a Blackjack 2 and can say the opposite...browser is awesome, messaging could use a lot of work. I realize the BJ2 is a 3G phone and the Pearl wasn't, but even with EDGE the browser shouldn't be too bad.
Re: if i understand right
Just hope your battery dies during business hours...
Re: stopping the blurry pictures...
I'd love to know this as well, there's about a 1 second lag between the time you press the button and the time it takes the picture. Meanwhile, you've started to move the phone since the picture has remained still only to discover you have nothing but blur.
I really don't rely on my phone as a camera (I have a digital camera that takes great pictures), but it is convenient to have once in a while.
A different charge....sigh
So I just got mine today and discovered that my travel and car charges that work with every other Samsung I have had is not compatible with the BJII.
How does it compare to BJ 1?
So how does the BJ2 compare to the first BJ? Has anybody had both? I have the first right now and the more I use it the less I like it. Is it a faster interface? Does it crash less?
Thanks
"N75 replacement"
I had an AT&T rep tell me this was the replacement for the N75. I couldn't decide whether to laugh or play along.
Good!
It's bad enough being next to Kenny Tarmac when you land...wouldn't want to have that the entire flight!
Re: battery life?
I spoke with an AT&T rep yesterday who said six hours. I'm also hoping for six and not three.
It's Released!!!
On AT&T's website this morning. $199 w/o contract.
Re: A little longer...
I just got off the phone with customer service, it has been released but is not in the distribution centers yet. Comes in red or gold. But they won't be able to talk about ordering one for a few more days.
Mini-USB to Samsung charger adapter
I've been through the forums but couldn't find anything on this topic, nor on the vendors with accessories linked from Phonescoop. Has anybody been able to find an adapter that changes a mini-USB plug (Motorola, Blackberry, etc) to Samsung's charger plug for the Blackjack, Sync, etc? I travel a lot and would rather not pack two separate chargers for my Motorola headset (mini-USB) and another for my Blackjack.
Thanks!
Would you buy it on Ebay?
Question...would you buy a Blackjack on Ebay? You can get a "new" one for about $100 less than at the AT&T store, but I'm a little leary as well...thoughts?
Thanks
Re: Send/menu change tones
Awesome! That drove me crazy with the past phones. I might have to look in to this one now if they get it in a retail store around here.
Send/menu change tones
So do you suppose they got rid of the goofy jingles that played every time you changed a menu setting or sent a message? That would be my dealbreaker on this phone. Sure you can give the same response as everyone else did about the 320 and 500 (just put it on vibrate), but I don't keep or want my phone on vibrate full time.
Re: I don't think ANYONE gets good looking LGs
I agree that it looks better than the earlier phones...remember the CU500 that looked like it was just thrown together with spare parts or the CU320 with it's ridiculously tiny keys?
Re: No 3G
Any internet provider will say that as well.
Re: Quick way to switch between Vibrate Only and Audible Ring?
Hold down the # key for a few seconds.
Advertising
See the below link, this is the only place I have seen anything about advertising. Anybody have any idea what kind? I was thinking about coming back to Cing/AT&T since I'm getting dicked around at VZW, but not if I'll be getting pop up videos while browsing.

Re: Powering off - 8300 version
I've had the original phone since June. Not really good service on VZ's part to have what are obviously defective phones (which the rep in the store even experienced) and force their customers to suck it up and deal with it.
Powering off - 8300 version
Ok, I'm not sure what the deal is, but I'm having the same problem with this phone as I had with the VX-4600. The phone would not connect a call about 30% of the time and would power off randomly.
Today I went to the store to exchange my 8300 for something else, but the warranty coverage only allows you to get the same model of phone. The first (yes, first) replacement phone they gave me started doing the same ...
Re: Can anyone get this!
maverick96 said:Sprint needs to re-vamp there customer service!
That's why I left Sprint in the first place.
Randomly powering off
Has anyone else having this problem? So far it has only been while on the wireless internet or texting. I had a VX-4600 a couple years ago that did the same thing, but during calls too.
Re: Any news on 3G?
Eh, I'm gonna disagree with Indianapolis. They still don't have it on their site and the rep said he really hasn't heard anything new as to when it will be rolled out.
Any news on 3G?
So what's the latest rollout plans for 3G? I was told in June that we (Indianapolis) would have it in July. It's almost October now. I do recall reading an article that they are delaying some rollouts. Anyone know when they will complete it?
Re: I don't get it...
while in contract you can move around all you want. the only thing that suffers is you loose some roll over when moving to a lower plan.
SOME rollover? I went from the 600 minute plan to the 450 and lost ALL of my rollover. The person at the store said it would be some, when I called customer service they said it would be ALL and the rep had no clue what he was doing.
Re: ? Regarding the cancellation of service...
Actually, Cingular is the only carrier where I've had this problem. I've been with Sprint and VZW in the past and haven't had the buzz. Even set up service again with VZ this past weekend because I'm thinking about going back and it doesn't happen with their phone.
Re: ? Regarding the cancellation of service...
Its like a chirping buzz, I have the same problem all the time and it has happened with Motorola and LG phones. It is very irritating as I have been on calls at work with my desk phone and can hear it through there (and so do people on the other end). I've also been fairly happy with Cingular up until recently when my reception at home dropped down to nothing.
Re: Huh?
Regardless of what it is, I'm tired of the delays and going back to VZW. :evil:
Re: Wired Headset
The only thing that works on my wired headset with the phone is the volume control. The answer/hangup and mute buttons are worthless on this phone.
Re: V557 Reception - Software problem??
Well then both of us are dumbasses. I had the Razr for a week too. The reception was great in my apartment which is usually pretty bad. But it was awkward to hold and text with, plus I couldn't get it to keep a bookmark and work on media net. So I'm back to the 557 too.
Thanks for the tip!
V557 Reception - Software problem??
I just upgraded to the 557 on Wednesday from the 551 because I thought the 551 was a great phone. Then on Saturday (yesterday) my reception suddenly dropped down to nothing, to the point that my phone said Emergency Only on the status. So after going back to the Cingular store, they swapped phones for me. Today, the same thing happens, I had the phone maybe 15 hours. The rep was surprised to see me in the store again ...
Any intelligent media net "specialists" out there??
Because I certainly can't get one on the phone!
I created my media net login a year ago when I came to Cingular, have not made any changes to the settings on my phone and I am logging in the exact same way I have in the past (push the little orange Cingular guy to get on the wireless internet). Oh, and I have a Motorola V551
Here's my problem, ever since Media Net was redesigned a few months ago I ...
"Improved" Media Net
Is it just me, or has Media Net sucked since the improvements were made? "Your Media NetID cannot be verified" is a very common error along with "Empty Message!" when viewing an email. And don't get me started on the extra number of steps you now have to go through just to send a quick reply to a message. I've been really happy with Cingular after stints with Sprint and VZW, but this is really making me wonder if ...
Re: V557 Performance
Is the reception, bluetooth and headset volume any better? I like the V551 but I have had some reception issues while somebody right next to me with another phone (Cingular) had no problems at all.
Re: Razr? V557? SE 520?
I'm not too interested in the itumes feature (already have an mp3 player) so I guess the current Razr might be a good option. Thanks for the help!
Razr? V557? SE 520?
I'm getting close to the upgrade timing for my phone and I'd like to know what some of you recommend...I currently have the V551 which for the most part has been a good phone, except the reception kinda sucks and the bluetooth has a hard time staying connected to the headset (both of which seem to be a common problem with this phone). So...
Has anything else been updated on the V557 other than the ticker? If the reception and ...
Re: Startup/Shutown weird sound
Its your service beep, it makes that sound whenever you lose or gain service coverage. You can turn it off in your settings.
