Re: Battery Life
I've been running ATK on my D3 for several months and my phone is not "screwed up". I'm sure you just read that on the internet somewhere and assumed it must be true. :?
Re: Battery Life is Unacceptable
Thanks very much for taking the time to help. After switching to CDMA, I also turned off Google location which I didn't realize worked much like GPS. After that, I made sure auto synch was switched off. Now, my battery is staying at 100% for 12+ hours in standby. This is great! Today I had 3 short calls and my battery still stayed on 100% for almost 12 hours. I'm not sure which one ...
Re: Battery Life is Unacceptable
Thanks for the reply and help. I had turned off global roaming and set it to CDMA only last night. I hope that will make some difference. This morning it still dropped from 100% to 90% within 15 min of unplugging it. Unfortunately, this is consistent with its 10-15% hourly drop in standby I've been seeing every day.
What setting do you have in your Phone Info(*#*#4636#*#*)>Set Preferred Network Type? Mine is set to "CDMA auto (PRL)". ...
Battery Life is Unacceptable
First of all, I love the features of this phone. Unfortunately, the battery life negates any advantages of this otherwise awesome phone. I thought I had the problem solved by turning off the data connection until I needed it. That seemed to work for a couple of days, but now it's back to its normal battery drain. I've tried every possible solution I could find and nothing works. I have everything turned off or turned ...
Re: Bootloader?
I can live with 3G speed on a phone. It's not like this is my primary ISP.
Re: Phone not ringing on every call.
It's a relief to know the phone isn't defective. Thanks.
Phone not ringing on every call.
Twice in 2 days, someone has called my phone and it didn't ring. I had no idea anyone had called until I heard the voice mail tone. There is also no record of a missed call. My ringer is set on high and I can call my phone from another phone and it does ring.
Has anyone else experienced this intermittent problem?
Re: env touch
See thread below entitled "Can U say Screen Resolution !"
Which case or cover do you use?
No reason for asking... I'm just curious.
I use the horizontal (swivel) leather belt case with the magnetic snap.
Re: email
To the best of my knowledge, the Touch will not sync or accept push email. However, you can access web based email as well as send text messages to and from email accounts.
Re: How do you make the D-pad "OK" button to not "Send"??
Thanks for the suggestion. I had actually already started doing that as a work-around. It would be nice if there were another way to correct this, but I guess this will have to do. Thanks again for your reply.
Re: Inaccurate Touchscreen..
The battery heating issue has been mentioned before. I believe Verizon will replace your battery to take care of it. Your touchscreen problem sounds like you may just have a bad one. If you like the phone otherwise, I would certainly take it back for a replacement.
Mine has been great so far with no real issues.
How do you make the D-pad "OK" button to not "Send"??
Does anyone know how to set the inside D-pad "OK" button so that it does not send the message?
I've accidentally sent a few unfinished messages when I was trying to use the directional arrows to edit the message and hit the "OK" button in the center. It would be great if the only way to send a message was the actual "Send" button above the D-pad.
Does anyone know how the remove the send function from the D-pad "OK" ...
Re: Loose Hinge...
Mine had the same hinge problem. It also kept rebooting. Tell them it keeps rebooting and they will give you a new one. My new one had a tighter hinge in the beginning, but it's loosening up the more I use it. I guess I'll just live with it. The phone is great in all other aspects.
Re: QWERTY Keyboard
Yes... rotate the phone 90 degrees to see the full touchscreen keyboard.
Re: Can you scroll through pictures from the front display?
Yes... just open your pictures from the front touch screen and scroll through them. You can get to your pictures from the regular (stamp) menu or put a shortcut to your pictures folder in your short cuts.
Re: Putting Pictures on the Micro SD?
Never mind... I found it.
Putting Pictures on the Micro SD?
I have several pics on my PC that I'd like to copy to the phone. When I link it and try to move the pics from the PC to the phone. It complains that they're not the correct format. So far I've tried "jpg" and "bmp" format without success. Can someone tell me which format they need to be so the phone will recognize them?
Thanks
Re: Is it an improvement over the Voyager Titanium?
I haven't let my battery drain all the way, but it takes a couple of days to just drop one bar. The battery life was a concern for me too, but so far it doesn't seem too bad.
Mine has yet to crash. Granted, I only had a Voyager Titanium for the 30 day trial period. But so far, this seems to be quite an improvement. So far, I love it.
Re: I hope the LG Envy Touch is not a smart phone...
I just saw where one of the many preview-reviews referred to it as a smartphone. I didn't think it was since the original Voyager wasn't... I just wanted to be sure.
Thanks for the confirmation.
I hope the LG Envy Touch is not a smart phone...
as in data plan required. Does anyone know if it will be categorized as a "smart phone"?
I hope not.
Re: CDMA Version - would this be it?
I hope not. BB9000 series I've seen don't have the Curve style buttons/keys. For me, the spacious buttons are one of it's greatest features.
Re: Voyager Voice Quality
Actually, "Hang up and try again" is a pretty silly answer. I've never had to hang up and try again on any phone I've owned.
Sorry I wasted your time with my inferior question "O Board Lord".
Your arrogant fascination with your perceived self-importance is a bit nauseating.
Re: Voyager Voice Quality
So how did you overcome not being able to hear a caller?
Voyager Voice Quality
I tested a titanium Voyager at Verizon and called a friend. My friend reported good voice quality on their end, but my friend sounded unclear as in "Charlie Brown's Teacher"... very muffled.
Is this a common occurrence?
Thanks for your input.
Re: How is your voice/call quality?
I've haven't tried the Vgr yet. That's why I asked about the voice quality in my original post. The LG EnV I was talking about was one of the first models to come out a couple of years ago. That's the one that had the bad voice quality, and that's when I picked up the E815.
I really like the form factor of the Lg. That's why I was hoping it had improved. Hopefully, I'll be trying it out soon.
Re: How is your voice/call quality?
Thanks to everyone for their input to my post. The reason I even asked about voice quality was because I tried out the very first model EnV, and thought the voice quality was just not acceptable. It was very "tinny" sounding. I really hated to return it because I loved the text friendly form of the phone.
I ended up settling on the Moto E815 because of it's excellent voice quality. I was hoping LG had ...
How is your voice/call quality?
I'm considering this phone. I'm one who would use it as a phone about 80% and texting 20%, so all the other features I wouldn't really use.
What does matter most to me is the voice quality, and I was wondering what everyone thinks about the voice/call quality on the phone?
Thanks for your input.
Re: LG 9800 vs E815
I tried both. I loved the LG for everything except talking on the phone. It had some really nice features and is awesome for texting.
The problem was in the difference of the phones when used as a phone. For this, the E815 is the clear winner. The reception, voice/call quality, and voice dialing were way above the LG.
I wish I could have kept the LG9800. It was very impressive. But, since I use my phone as a phone 90% ...
Re: Unlocking
Sorry, but only GSM phones which use sim cards can be unlocked for use with other GSM carriers. Verizon is CDMA which cannot be unlocked or used with another carrier.
Re: QUESTION
Mine does the same thing. I believe it goes back to the original ring or vibrate once it's unplugged. I always thought it was some kind feature to eliminate missing any calls while charging. Sorry, but I don't know how to turn it off.
Re: ANYONE CAN POST ON HERE, WHETHER THEY STILL HAVE THE 815 OR NOT!!!!!!
Mary424,
As someone who started with the 8100, then switched to the 815. I've spent time on both forums offering input about both phones to those whose ask. From what I've seen, your replies and input are always helpful. Even those you eventually chose the 8100 over the 815, I've never seen you bash the 815, and only offer your experiences, good and bad. I think those of us who did try both phones do offer the best input to ...
Re: crackling noises when closing the flip.
They are very subtle clicks. The hinge is supposed to sound that way. At first glance, the 815 may seem less durable that other phones. But, after most of us have it a while. We realize it's just as durable as any other flip phone. Will the phone be around in 50 years... doubtful. Will it last the duration of your contract... easily.
Re: speakerphone??? (e815)
I'm with you Paul. If you can't answer a question without being an asshole, then just don't answer it.
Some people post obvious questions not because they can't look in the manual, but rather because they just want to be part of the forum and discussion.
To our self appointed "manual police"... please chill.
Re: Software Patch for Vibration mode
Sorry, but I think that was a coincidence. I tried right after I bought the phone, and the volume level had no effect on the vibrate intensity.
Re: The Bluetooth range on this phone is great!
What type of headset are you using?
Thanks
Re: Blocking A Certain Phone Number
Thanks for the suggestions. I have gotten into the habit of just terminating the call. If I ignore it. I'll have a very long voice mail of them watching TV and talking about their medical problems. :)
Re: Blocking A Certain Phone Number
Bummer... I was hoping there might be a setting on the phone for this.
Blocking A Certain Phone Number
Is there a way to block a certain phone number from calling in?
I've had my number for several years. During this time I've have a certain number that keeps calling my number. It belongs to an elderly couple who obviously have it on speed dial for the previous owner. They accidentally call often, so I get voice mail filled up with a very long and boring "eavesdropping" message. I have called and asked them to please remove my number ...
Re: My E815 battery meter doesn't work
My 815 battery meter stays on full for quite a while. Once it drops below 6 bars, it seems to drop pretty fast. My phone, with my amount of usage will last about 3 days. I usually recharge mine every evening so I never have a problem. My battery actually lasts longer than I expected it to, so I am happy.
