Chocolate Ratings

I sure was on the money for this phone. Like I said when this phone first came out...that after a month or so, there would only be about 35 to 40 reviews. Not to rain on anyone's parade but lets face the facts, the phone is overhyped. In fact, the Chocolate thread is just dead!

The ad that Verizon runs on the radio for this...

This is not the most technical question in the world, but it's driving me nuts and I have to ask in the hopes anyone knows...

The music that's playing in the background of the VZW ads that sport this phone, who does that & what is it called?

Name that tune in 4 notes. MAD thanks to anyone who can help me out with this stupid quesiton...

Phone Case for the LG-VX8500. Any Preferences? ? ?

Has anyone had any luck getting a case for this phone. I would like to get one that actually fits this phone and does not look like it costs 0.99 cents.

over in the "Review: LG Chocolate" discussion:

Do the Euro and U.S. Chocolates have same measurements?

🤨

I just got the U.S. Verizon model LGVX8500, and the only people online who are selling clear hard cases for the phone list it as compatible with KG800 (the European Chocolate).

Are both designs/measurements the same? I'd like to order a clear, hard case for the phone, but America does not sell it! I just got back from Korea, and they sell clear cases for every phone imaginable, but America seems to only go for bulky, ugly, leather holsters (ewww).

So I'm wondering if getting one from a UK seller on Ebay would fit my U.S. model...

Thanks!

over in the "Review: LG Chocolate" discussion:

POS Where it Counts Most

"Despite Verizon's rather thorough coverage of San Francisco, our Chocolate rarely showed a full four bars of 1x or EV-DO. While this probably is not an accurate reflection of Verizon coverage, it was an accurate reflection of the Chocolate's reception. This phone had a difficult time holding on to a signal. When signal strength was good, calls were still choppy. When it was bad, the phone dropped calls quite consistently. Although the phone initially showed a signal in our bank vault test, it could not make a call and when attempting to do anything else the indicator bars quickly disappeared."

Just like I suspected. Who gives a [expletive] about a QVGA screen and Flash UI when you can't make a phone call?

By contrast, when Phonescoop...

The unknown text messaging mode

First, I have to say I have no idea how i got into this setting. All i know is that when i create a new txt msg, it has a small icon in the message already. Each time I have to delete this icon, otherwise if I send a txt message the letters will look like the following "€òv©Ïq". Any ideas? What did I change?

VZ Navigator

Why hasn't anyone mentioned how neat this app is? Anyway, I was wondering if you pay for the app just once or is it a monthly subscription of 10 dollars ?

Delete Saved Ringtone? www.funformobile.com

I sent myself a ringtone via www.funformobile.com and was wondering if there is a way to delete a ringtone (or edit the name) once it's already been 'saved to ringtones'?

Confirmed BUG w/ Voice command!

Well I went to Verizon today and they replaced my VX8500 Chocolate. When I would make a voice recognition call it would make the call (Call anyone at all using the voice call number or name, it doesn't matter) and then when the call was finished the phone would continue to prompt you to call the last voice command you issued. Over and over and over until you hit the END button manually. If you are using BT headset you have to hit the hangup button repeatedly (which didn't work very well).
They said they would report it to LG and hopfully it will get fixed... SURE it will...

I use my phone hands free in the car and this is a major problem!! If there were only a workaround! I just can't "hang up" with the BT headset without turning it ...

Music Player pause

Well I love my phone......what I was wondering was how you can pause the music player for extended periods of time. I have a 1 gig card and have over 200 songs...but the shuffle does not continue once you turn off the music...so was wonder if there is a pause. I have done it by accident a few times...Like when I get a call...but unsure how to do it when no call comes in.

Thanks

Screen protector???

I know someone earlier was talking about a great scratch resistant screen protector - but I can't find the info. Has anyone out there used one on this phone or have any info or input about it.

Thanks.
