Motorola Q9m / Q9c

I just got a Q9c a couple days ago and while I can get the voice recognition to work and can command the phone to dial a number, the speakerphone never turns on. All sound from the called party comes from the ear speaker, never the rear speaker. Yet when interacting for voice commands, those prompts do come from the rear speaker. Once the connection is made, it reverts to ear speaker.

Also, while in a call, I would expect to be able to press the speakerphone button (next to the photo button) and have the speakerphone turn on...it doesn't (no matter how long I hold the button down).

Any idea if I'm doing something wrong? Is there something I need to turn on that isn't turned on? Is there something I need to turn off that may not ...

gmail application on the q?? possible

Is there a wayto change the speaker path on this phone for the voice and digit dialing features?

As it is the sound comes through the rer speakers instead of the earpiece and is very, very loud if you have your speaker set oud enough to hear ringtones.

It is very annoying to have to turn the speaker setting down every time I dial my phone.

Does anyone that has this phone experienced issues with the music player? I went through 2 phones and 2 cards and still does it. I will put a song on and it will play for 20 seconds then skip to the next song. It doesnt happen to specific songs...just does it frequently...any ideas?

picked up my motorola q9m yesterday and i love it. only one question though. im used to using vznavigator with my old lg8700 and while i know the q9m cannot use this, are there any applications out there that i can use when i travel? and would i need to buy a gps receiver (versus using the software itself)

I am a Sprint user and I can upgrade on Jan 1 '08. I am really on the fence if I should pick up either the Blackberry 8130 (Pearl 2), a Moto Q9c, or if I should just wait until Feb and grab the Blackberry Curve (friend that works for Sprint said it would be out mid/late Feb). If the Curve comes out any later than Feb, I more than likely will not wait for it.

I am wondering if anyone has any insight on pros and cons on the phones; I have looked in depth into the specs, but am looking for advice from current users that own these devices.

Thanks for the help!

I have the Sprint Q9c and I receive the following message each time I try to send/receive emails. "The message(s) cannot be sent. Be certain that you have network coverage and that your account information is correct and then try again. I set the email account up using the automatic settings so I hope this something else relatively easy to fix. Anyone else have this issue?

I haven't bought the Q9M, yet but I think it is going to fit my needs pretty well.

My question is this, I know you can take a picture of something and send it via message, but can you receive other types of picture messages?

I talking about the ones that are kinda like chain messages that have a picture of something and then it will play a song and have a text message attached to it. Hope i didn't confuse anyone..lol

Another question is that I know this type of phone doesn't have get it now, so has anyone used the website: www.ringtonejukebox.com for ringtones?

Thanks for any help you can give🙂

Just switched to verizon from sprint because all my family is with verizon. Always had good service with sprint though. Purchased new moto q 9m so here go my questions:
1)Why is there no underscore on the qwerty keyboard? If its there, I'm blind. A couple email addresses I use have underscore.
2)I get way better reception on sprint with my old, nearly dead sanyo from 5 years ago. Is it the network or the phone?
3) More on above, I was standing next to a verizon customer that has a basic motorola flip phone, don't know the model, I had 1 bar and he had 3. Whats the deal?
4)Why when texting, can u only type 160 characters? Is this a common on all phones?
5)This aggrevates me: Why do I have to go to the task manager to "kill" app...

Hi,

I just got the Q9m and am interested in getting an SDIO wifi card. Anyone succesfully install a wifi card? If so which one? Where?Cost? Thanks!!! 🙂

I'm a med student and I'm trying to combine my PDA and my cell phone into one. I'm having trouble picking between the Treo 700wx and the Motorola Q. I'm leaning towards to Q because it's a little more affordable and it's a little smaller/lighter. I'm wondering if anyone here is a pharmacist/physician/med student etc that uses the Q and has Epocrates Essentials or any of the other drug references or diagnosis tools on it and if so how they work on the Q. That's a big factor for me in picking. If anyone has any advice or input I'd really appreciate it.

CNET's review says the q9 has a scaled down version of windows live. what exactly does that mean? I am a heavy user of Windows live features and it would be a large factor in determining if I should buy this phone

Can someone tell me if you can enable reminder tones for text messages that have not yet been viewed? Similar to how the RAZR does the single beep until you at minimum open the phone to acknowledge that it was received?

It seems Verizon likes to make their money in the music business and excessive data usage. They should have added the Wi-Fi connection or offer the Wi-Fi card for the Q9m.

Most people who buy the Smart phones are looking to do emails and other data related activities. The added Wi-Fi connection will speed up transfers while in coffee shops, airports, or other hotspots, and save the customer some money with that added feature.

The newer Samsung and the Pearl have this option, Motorola does not.

can songs purchased through vcast music be used for ringtones? thanks

Can this phone do group sms???
If i have different groups of friends that i send the same message to setup a group and just pick it or do i need to each number one at a time?

Another dumb queston...can you turn off the Verizon banner at the top when in Windows Simple view?

Can this phone be set to boyh ring and vibrate like most Motorolas I have owned?

I called Verizon about upgrading my phone and got a bit miffed to find a new customer would get the phone cheaper than a customer that has been with them since before they were even called Verizon (11 years). I ended up getting upset with a customer care supervisor name Devin and asked to be transfered to their termination dept. They sent me over to the loyalty dept and a guy named Mario looked at my account and noticed I pay them about $450 a month for wireless phones for my business. He then said it was stupid to throw away a customer over a $349 phone when my monthly payment is greater than that. He ended up arranging for me to pick up the phone a few minutes later at a local retail store for $99 cash out of pocket. I then found out he ad...

i was just curious if anyone wouldn't mind just giving me some incite on these phones. i'm gonna be eligible for my upgrade in a few weeks & i want to stick with a smartphone, just don't know which one? i already have owned the samsung i730 (loved it, just a bit bulky) & currently own the treo 700w. i like the treo b/c it was a bit sleeker than the i730. so moving forward, i don't know functionality & style wise how all 3 stack up... so i would really appreciate anyone's info & opinions of them.
