Re: Incoming Call Announcement
My vx8300 does it and I love it!!! Especially when I'm away from my phone's reach or driving. Makes it easy to determine if I need to answer my phone or not.
Re: Incoming Call Announcement
What about Moto's and Samsungs?!
Incoming Call Announcement
Hi everyone...
I'm up for my NE2 soon and I currently have the LG vx8300. One of the features I absolutely love is the incoming call announcement, where the phone will say, "Call from....." before the music begins to play.
What other VZW phones do this??? Any help would be appreciated.
What's the likelihood?
Hi everyone...
I have the $59.99/900 minute AC plan currently. I need to add a line, but I see the family plans don't have a 900-minute package. I have a choice of 700 minutes or 1400.
If I call in, can a CR be able to give me an additional line at $9.99 as advertised, but add it to my existing minutes? If not, what is the alternatives?
Thanks in advance.
Help! Trying to figure this out
Hi everyone...
Just got the VX8300 and lovin it so far! I am planning to purchase a microSD for music downloads, but I have a question...
Do I have to purchase the Music Essentials kit? Or can I download music from my PowerBook onto the disk and then play directly from the disc from the phone? I've already enabled the MP3 mode on the phone.
My other question is that my PowerBook from iTunes saves music as .m4p ...will the phone recognize ...
Re: A670 Being taken off Verizon Market
They're replacing the a670 for the Audiovox 8910???? That is completely unacceptable!!! That's like trading a shiny red apple for a bruised one with worms!!!!
That's ridiculuous!!!
Re: SCH-A650 vs. SCH-A670..which one is better?
It all depends on your needs....
The a650 is a tri-mode and the a670 is strictly digital. Also, the a650 does not have an outer window for caller ID while the a670 does...
Otherwise, the phones are very similar...
Re: download Ringtones
vzwpix.com has prevented the transferring of midi files since they updated their site...try using funformobile.com and you should be able to transfer successfully!
Re: question
I have successfully used Alltel phone on the VZW network in the past. All she would need to do is go into a VZW store to have them flash the firmware to VZW and they can enter the ESN to her account and VOILA! She'll have a new phone...
Re: FIRMWARE?????
I agree...I'm following the adage, "If it's not broke, don't fix it."
Re: only 2 videos?
Nope...2 is the limit...
Re: Bought an a650 should I have got the a670?
I agree...I've had this phone since July...the voice quality is crystal clear!!! I love the clairty and reception...better than any tri-mode I've ever used.
But...as already stated, if you need tri-mode, then this needs to be an important consideration...

Re: outside display?
Nope...only the 3 pre-programmed clocks are your only choices...
Ringer IDs...you go into a specific contact and scroll down to where it says "Image." Then use the left soft key to Edit. Then you can go into your gallery to choose the image you want to use. When you hit "OK," then every time that person calls, the image will show up on the outside display.
Re: Phone gets hot!
Sometimes the phone WILL get warm if you're using the phone a lot.
The reason for this is that the battery IS part of the back cover, so your hand is directly touching the battery. Motorolas and Nokias tend to encase their batteries so your hand is not directly touching the battery when you're talking on the phone.
If it's TOO hot that you can't hold onto the phone, I'd bring it into your local VZW corporate store.
Re: Cannot Download Ringtones
www.funformobile.com is an alternate site to upload ringtones to your phone if the vzwpix.com website is unaccessible to you. There are some who can still upload tones to their phones through vzwpix.com, but others will get an error message.
Re: Cannot Download Ringtones
This normally works, but in some parts of the country PIX PLACE doesn't allow the sending of MIDIs anymore. It's been since they've updated their sites....
This is how I was uploading ringtones to my phone and had done it successfully a hundred times; however, now I can't send them. I've alerted VZW to the problem and they say that they're working on it...
In the meantime, I've been using funformobile.com
Re: the battery
The battery meter is deceiving. The 3-bars will hold for a while. At 2-bars, it seems like there's no time at all before it drops down to 1-bar. So from this angle, it's easy to see why the battery seems weak. What's harder to realize is that the battery will stay at 1-bar for about 2-3 days with normal use.
I had an entire weekend without my charger and my battery at 1-bar. I also had higher-than-normal use that weekend. ...
Re: saving eringers on hard drive question
After I've downloaded the ringers to My page, I go to My page and drag and drop the ringers from the link to my harddrive. The drag and drop automatically formats the ringers to my harddrive as a MIDI.
Re: ? about custom ringtone for contacts-Samsung SCH-a670
LoneStarr said:
I'm not sure about the GPS, but the A670 does not have the ability to set ringers for individual contacts. Also you cannot send video...weird! Your battery go down really fast if you set the backlight to be on the whole time it's flipped open...I use the 15 second setting and just push an outside button to turn it back on when it goes off, it last a little longer that way.
The a670 DOES have the capability to ...
Re: "new message" notification
I get the little envelope regardless of the format type of incoming message.
Re: A670- Can't save received Pic to My gallery
Can you scroll left to right under save message? Usually, you go down to SAVE MESSAGE and then scroll left to right to SAVE IMAGE.
Re: ringtone change
You go to each individual contact and scroll down until you see a musical note. The using the left soft key (options), hit edit. The scroll left to right until you find the ringtone you want. Then hit OK...
Re: voicemail vibrate
If you do the following:
Menu >> 3 >> 9 >> 3 >> 3 >> 1
From there you can change the message alert from level 5 volume to vibrate...
Re: Ringers?
You need to download ringers from other sites, like eringers, to your harddrive. Once they're on the harddrive, then you can upload them to funformobile.com. It is a free service like eringers.com to upload, so you're only paying for vzw's charges + airtime...
Re: camera sound
Nope....
Re: Ringers?
Nope...you're not hallucinating...they upgraded the website and now it doesn't let you upload midis...they know about it...it'll be fixed "soon."
In the meantime, use www.funformobile.com

Re: verizon wireless picture website isn't working
UPDATE: I did try it and got the same response. I've emailed VZWPIX.com directly to see if this is a glitch with the new web updates or a permanent thing...
Re: verizon wireless picture website isn't working
I heard that this may be the case...rumor cited that after this weekend, midis would no longer be accepted by vzwpix.com.
I haven't tried it yet myself...if I get the same result, I'll let you know!
Re: Rubber Charger Slot Cover
Neither my husband nor I have any kind of "cover" over the charging part of the phone...I don't know what you have, but I'm guessing it was part of the packaging and not part of the phone itself...
Re: Free Ringtones.. =]
Under number 8 - save message...is there a way to scroll from left to right? If so, then scroll until you see save sound. That should work for you!
Re: Vzwpix account
Have you clicked on the link that says "forgot password?" They'll e-mail you your password to the account you originally gave them and then you'll be able to re-login.
They don't want you to have multiple accounts for the purpose of protecting your phone number.
Re: a670 caller ID prob. please help
Caller ID is a standard part of any VZW contract. You may want to go back to your dealer and see if you got a lemon...sorry
Re: Best flip phone on verizon wireless??

Ah, but the 670 has very good voice quality... better than most any other phone I've heard.
I absolutely LOVE my a670! And you're right about the voice quality...very sharp and clear...
Re: Question about memory...
Unfortunately, that's the only way I've found to view my downloaded stuff as well...
Thanks for the compliment...I'm not really that good at "this stuff," I just like to play around with the phone from time to time. If you start bringing up cable-related questions, I'm outta here! :? I don't know the first thing about that! 8O
Re: RINGTONES!
Have you tried eringers.com?
Re: Question about memory...
I know for pictures if you turn on your camera and adjust your resolution to low--medium--high, you can see how many pictures you have left for each.
I've heard 20 ringtones is max, but I'm guessing that'll depend on how large the files are...
Re: Picture msg
No problem! I prefer this method myself...I've seen too many people screw up their phones using the cables...
Re: Picture msg
Yes...you can go to vzwpix.com and set up an account. Upload ringtones and wallpapers to your account and email them to your phone. I works like a charm (I just added more ringtones today!)!!
You can use a cable as well, but I'm not familiar with this process and many people I know seem to have problems with this method.
Before you email tones/papers, make sure you phone is activated through VZW. If you don't have a package, then it'll cost ...
