How's reception under Verizon
I have the SLVR phone GSM version with T-mobile. Reception sucks so i hope the VZW CDMA ones are better? Although I've heard signal on this VZW phone sucks too.. so maybe it's Motorola... Any feedback with regards to this? Also how's battery life... is the UI as slow as the KRZR?
Re: Bluetooth Capability>>>Yep file transfer b/t the phone and cpu works
it's weird, when i use my laptop to search bluetooth devices, it doesn't find my phone but it does find non VZW moto slvr phone. any ideas?
speakerphone update firmware v04
i just inherited a new (black) chocolate with no data on it. I want to take it to a VZW store and have it updated so it'll have speakerphone capability. Any idea how long it would take to update?
Re: bluetooth
when you turn on your jabra, does it auto connect to your krzr or do you have to manually connect the phone to it everytime you turn the headset on?
how to turn off EVDO
I don't use any of Get It Now nor Vcast. I assume they use the EVDO. Would disabling it give me better battery life? If so, anyone knows how to turn that thing off?
Re: Bluetooth Capability
i did copy an mp3 file to the microSD in the music directory that the phone created using my laptop, inserted the card back to the phone. I was able to see it in 'settings', 'memory','my music' but there's no option to play it. how do you play the music files copied to the memory card?
Re: Bluetooth Capability
I have an unlocked MOTO SLVR and tried to connect to this phone via bluetooth. It couldn't find it. My SLVR finds all other non-VZW phones and i doubt VZW all of the sudden crippled the phone i just played with 2 days ago.
Re: Everyone who compares to RAZR AND KRZR
:roll: what's your point????
Re: WARNING don't buy
sorry, i meant it couldn't find the 8600 phone..
Re: Nice, but have to return it.
tested the phone in my house (surrounded by hills) where reception is not very good also. Signal strength continuously fluctuates from no bar to 3 bars. The only phone that constantly works for me are Moto phones. So I guess you guys who say reception is very good, i bet all other VZW phones do pretty well too in your area... that is you live close to cell sites..
Re: WARNING don't buy
1. i turned on bluetooth, tried to transfer some files using from my Moto SLVR phone using bluetooth to this phone but it find the LG8600. It finds all other non-VZW phones so I'm not sure what you say is true. Have you tested it?
2.i just copied an 4mb mp3 file to the music folder the phone created on the microSD card. On the phone, 'Settings and Tools', 'Memory Card', 'My Music', i see the file but no option ...
8600 signal and battery life vs KRZR
how many days stand by do you get from this phone? where i live, signal is not very strong. A while back I tried the LG VX6100 and had to exchange it for a motov265 phone because of signal strength. LGs just dropped calls like crazy for me. anyone has same experience? how does the 8600 fare?
Re: Word
just curious, what does it do better than your Razr?
Re: LG CHOCOLATE
ya, it is necessary. UDboy intentionally posted this question in this forum to try to piss of some people but it didn't work. And yes, he's an idiot.
Re: Telenav? Please??? Anyone?
anyone actually tried to pair this phone's bluetooth with a Garmin Nuvi w/ bluetooth navigation device? does it work?
Re: ATTENTION ALL VERIZON EMPLOYEES!
Attacking people now? People like you who post senseless comments like this i highly consider as a LOSER. What the hell do you know? Obviously NOTHING.. You need to get a life!
Re: THIS PHONE IS COMING IN A NEW WHITE COLOR FOR VZW
hm.. white krzr? where did you hear this?
Re: RAZR V3m
idiot.. why not post a question about the LG choc and see if anyone here cares to answer...
Re: RAZR V3m
post this in the appropriate forum!
Re: g-zone and new nokia on the testman site
ya, saw that supposedly Casio made weather and shock proof phone priced i think at $299 on testman's site but not there anymore...
Re: keep in mind when posting reviews...
i totally agree. most of the complaints are related to the crappy Verizon software that's installed. It's pretty much like video game machines. IT's the games that really make it or break it for the machine and not all the specs. I bet the GSM versions of these phone don't have most of the CONS listed in this forum. The original moto software running on most moto phones are pretty good until Verizon decides to put their own ...
Re: When phone is closed does display stay on?
as you may already know, the new nokia is really not made my nokia but by pantech so it probably doesn't have the quality of a nokia. The inside doesn't even look Nokia to me at all. i would go for the KRZR or wait for the LG8600 (RAZR wanna be phone) and compare it to that.
Re: WHAT A JUNK ASS PHONE
That's exactly what i call most of the LG phones - Junk Ass phones..
Re: usb port
coz you need to have the appropriate drivers for it. it's so new that maybe MPT doesn't support it yet. You can try RSD Lite 2.5 but again, maybe that might not have it either. maybe wait a while...
Re: No Teasing- the phone's going back
Do you honestly believe that the phone is the one preventing you from copying back and forth data via the MicroSD card. I have a Moto Slvr L7 and i can copy whatever i want to the phone. Obviously, it's VZW that cripples the phone via their dumb software. So if it worked for your v710, great! one less phone that VZW missed to screw around with.
Re: No Teasing- the phone's going back
well, it's a given that VZW would limit what you can do with phone esp. when it comes to copying your own data to the phone via PC. If that's really the issue for you, you should get the GSM version w/c won't have any of the carrier's limiation. VZW would do such a thing anyway since they charge for everything. That's a given. I would like to hear more about battery life, reception, speakerphone clarity and volume. You ...
Re: Can Transflash be used for pics?
This phone sucks, period. Why moto will basically take the E398 and not fix it's problems or upgrade features (such as adding usb2.0) and have Apple put itunes on it, market it as a new iTunes phone is just beyond me. What is Steve Jobs thinking?? I won't be surprised if your phone would crash/reboot occasionally. It has the same buggy OS base code as the E398.
A well executed phone? I guess you haven't used any Apple ...
Re: why my sms are saved on sim?
unfortunately, that's the way it is. sms messages are saved in the simm card. after a couple of sms, you'll get an out of memory message. it sucks. My E398(same phone basically) came with an java mp3 player and yours has iTunes. It's still has the crappy OS and it's limitations were carried over from the E398.
Re: Can I buy a better antenna to improve signal?
only solution i know is try to get a phone that works great at fringe areas. get a Moto phone or a Nokia. for fringe areas, LGs suck big time.
Re: Help with fluctuating signal please!!!
ya, return it to VZW and get a moto phone.
Re: dropped calls??
ya, search this forum and you'll find that many are experiencing this same issue as you. i personally tried 2 brand new 6100 and had the same exact problem on both so I know it's not just that 1 phone I had. My moto v60i worked much better. I ended up returning the 6100. personally, i think it's a piece of junk. I don't know if the 7000 is any better. I noticed LGs are weaker than Motorola when ...
Re: Dropped v265 in toilet
VZW makes a ton of money. To them, what's another phone being junked. i would do the same and have VZW give me a new one if ever I soak my phone. After all, they rip you off by crippling phone features and making you pay for everything like thier POS Get it Now... it's just balances out over time. you screw me, i screw you.. :lol:
Re: WHY THE F *#% WOULD YOU GUYS GET THIS PHONE!!!!!!
am i glad i don't live there if analog is the only that works over there. this phone does suck.
Re: v265 battery cover
hope you won't experience the reception issues people are complaining about with the 6100.
Re: Please help me problem
if there is a 8100 really coming out, i'd wait. there are several complaints about the 8000 powering off by itself even with full battery. People have been exchanging them for new ones with no luck. check out howardforums.com for more info.
Re: retriving pics on my computer from my 8000 with USB Cable
can't be done. have to use VZW's service for that.
Re: speaker?!?!!?
nokia's have bad RF in buildings? That's the first I've heard.. I never had any problems with Nokia ever.. I've used 2 LGs - the 3200 and the 6100 and both had reception problems in my area.
Re: Speakerphone and new faceplates
ya,my suggestion is don't get aftermarket garbage, obviously, they're cheaply made and not well made for your phone.
Re: speaker?!?!!?
swap it out for the nokia or moto phone. forget LGs.. they're crap. if you have to go thru so much trouble to get a good digital signal and for a phone to work the way you want it, it's not worth it. get a different phone.
