Question about 8300

I recently got the 8300 and i think my phone has a problem. When i talk into it to another person, not only do i hear the person talking to me, but i also hear myself almost like what i'm saying is going thru their speaker and back into their mic. It's happening all the time though, not just with one other person or phone. Is this normal for the 8300 or should i get a new phone?

VERIZON TECHS/REPS IS IT TRUE??

🙂 Hi everyone! Alright I just started my contract with Verizon on May 5th, Got 2 pink razors (one for me & one for little sister), anyways, hers works flawlessly, but mine has a small or should I say a big inconvenient problem, it makes like a humming sound (like electricity going through), it started doing it whenever I placed a call but it would fade away after 2 or 3 minutes. But now is doing it even when the phone is not used, just if you open the flip and you put your ear to it you can hear it 👿 , Anyways I took it to the store where I bought it and the tech said "well that is a notorious problem Motorola is having, we are waiting on a software upgrade that would solve the problem, once they give us the upgrade it will be ta...

MP3 expanded memory?

Question, have a Sam 950 with the 512 card, only want to use the card for MP3. I can only get about 140 songs on the Mp3 player due to the size partioned for the "My Mp3" folder. Is there anyway to expand the folder size limit to use more of the card then what it automatically sets it for?

Thanks

When can I get a good 2 megapix. phone from Verizon???

Does anyone have an idea what month I can expect a high functioning, 2 megapix. phone to come out with Verizon? (I was excited by the Samsung SCH-a970, until I read the reviews.) 🙄

Voice commands on the LG 8100

Was playing around with the menu in my phone and found a way to change the voice command mode to speed. I think that makes using the voice commands a lot less cumbersome!

What a bunch of .....

I asked Verizon support about plans to put a new tower in my area. Coverage is much worse than T-Mobile, Cingular, etc., but was better a couple years ago. I asked if they had any plans to put new towers in my area in the next two years. This is the reply

"For security purposes, it is not possible to release the requested
proprietary information regarding the exact time in which towers may be
built. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause."

I guess Verizon has learned from our government, "security" is a an excuse that fits conveniently for all occasions!

service coverage dead spot, but phone indicates all bars and no roaming

Just wondering if anyone has had this particular problem in other regions in the Verizon wireless network.

I travel frequently to visit relatives in a zone which Verizon says it covers (zip code 11777, north shore of Long Island). There is coverage but there seems to be a dead zone in the particular area where I visit which happens to be the highest elevation in the 11777 area.

I know areas can have dead zones but I will describe the situation.

Every person on the Verizon and Sprint network who have visited had full bars on their phones and no roaming indicated. Yet no one can connect to service, their phones heat up while on and the battery dies within 2 hours. Once a call is dialed, the bars on the phone actually drop to none.

the rubber piece on the charging port of the V9800

So I lost my rubber piece on the charging port of the phone. Did I need that anyway, and if so, where do I get another one? The phone is new, but I think I would have lost that eventually.

VZW corporate stores dress code?

Just wondering what the dress code is for corporate store throughout the country. In the Pacific Northwest region the guys have to wear a shirt and tie. I'm f***ing sick of it! I have been told that corporate stores in other regions just wear the VZW polo shirts. I just want to confirm that. Customers don't give a crap how the sales person is dressed. As long as they are honest and knowledgeable.

I need advice!!!

I bought a Samsung a930 and so far I really like the phone (lots of cool features and Voice command is awesome) even though it does not have the steardy feel of the razr. It is nice however the black material smudges easily. Anyhow, I dont like the fact that it doesnt play mp3s (to my knowledge).

Are there any VZW phones that allow the mp3 format and how come phonescoop has mp3 as a supported format for this phone??? Any help would be appreciated.

New customer shocked at how lame Verizon is!

I wasn't a VZ customer but thought the new Motorola Q might be great. Ordered one on Wednesday with Friday delivery promised. The phone "shipped late" and actually showed up 3 days late on Monday. I opened the box and the phone worked but it had been dropped and was obviously damaged. Took it to the local store; they exchanged it for a new one. Stupid me - the store did a test call but didn't test the internet access. Ooooops. The phone won't access the net. Called tech support; on and off with her for 30 minutes; she finally tells me there is a "KNOWN ISSUE" between the Q and the Verizon system; that they have had a number of calls about this problem. She has to "escalate" the problem and I "should hear from them within 24-48 hours...

Coverage check, please?

Verizon reps out there, if you could please tell me how coverage is in Waynesburg, PA and the surrounding area, it would be much appreciated. The zip is 15370.

My friend is moving out that way and is looking to switch her cell phone service.

Thanks!
