Motorola V710
Another Screwup from Motorola programmers. Listen to this...
This phone has so much stupid programming, like a beeping battery alarm that sounds even when in vibrate or silent mode. But now I've come across another stupid programming feature...
When the phone is PLUGGED IN the charger... and you are talking on it.... the screen goes black after awhile. Normally this would be fine... although if your phone is plugged in, I don't know why they couldn't keep power to the screen so that when you are on speakerphone you can see the call timer or something.
HOWEVER.... when you UNPLUG the phone and talk on the phone with BATTERY POWER.... the screen only DIMS and does NOT go off. SO, when on battery power, the phone is programmed to use MORE power by keeping the screen lit (although dim)... and w...

I mean this in the best way - so please don't get defensive.
I've been reading your posts -and it seems as if most of your comments are aimed at yelling at people who have legitimate complaints about the phone.
Do you not agree that some of the useful purposes of a cell phone message board are to:
- allow users to share ideas on how to better use the phone
- allow potential customers to review both the good AND BAD about a phone, so they can make an educated decision
- provide a possible forum for cell phone manufacturers to view praise and complaints about their design
Now - I agree with you ... some people have some pretty crazy expectations of a phone. They do not make waffles, cook you breakfast, or wa...

i can't go into a discussion regarding a cell phone, i mean its just takes too much thought into something i find that really is not that important to me.
no offense taken but maybe this is not the forum for me. i really do not care much about the phone this much to try to write an essay about my feelings and opinions and back them up with facts, etc...
you guys have good points but this forum for me was to be informative (like how to get the most out of my v710) not to debate.
Thanks for the comments.

i guess what i'm saying is i am not getting paid to be a "QA analyst" for Moto - but i hear you guys. I guess i'm not nit picky and well i just find the phone good for what I need it for.
Oh well, hope things work out for all of us! 😁

Well said kgray... and you are very intuitive. As you indicated, I am trying to bring up legitimate concerns in hopes that Motorola will realize these issues and correct them in the future. Better yet, maybe a flash update for current users.
I like the v710... I'm keeping mine. But there are some things on this phone that were just not thought out properly and I think it's our job to point them out.
Thanks for your well written comments... I could not have said it better myself.

I'd just like to comment that when I first got my phone I complained about the screen going dark while on it....and I believe that was when the battery wasn't fully charged. Strangely enough, I think this phone does different things depending upon the charge left in the battery. I too complained on this forum that there was no point in having a call timer if the screen was going to blank on you after a short amount of time.
Now after I've changed a few settings it seems my screen stays on after all. Very strange.
Perhaps I will shut my call timer and see if it still stays on...
