Some usability questions about AVox 8900?
Just got the phone and in general happy but have few questions:
1. Is there a "vibrate then ring" mode? Manual seems to say yes but in Settings for ringer volume I failed to find this. The only thing I can get is vibrate *and* ring which's obviously not what I want.
2. Any way to make outer screen to show date/time permanently without auto flipping to pointless "Verizon Wireless" message? This drives me nuts since most often then not when I take out the phone to check time it shows stupid message. For display to flip I have either to press the side key or like an idiot to wait when it happens by itself.
3. Any way to get rid of Verizon's power on/off background pics and music?
4. That's not exactly useability but who actually mak...

Yes, you can do these things but it's not something that just the average joe can do by changing the setting. You need to go to howardforums.com and look up the phone model number. They'll step you through what you need and how to do it so that the Verizon banner doesn't flash through as well as how to reprogram the start-up / shut-down so that the music does not play or even to replace with other music instead.
It should be noted though, that Verizon as the corporate "Big Brother" does not endorse or condone doing this and they'll probably give you some company line about it voiding your warranty.
