Motorola V710

ive had this phone for a few month and for some reason i cant figure out to turn off that annoying beeping noise it makes when it has low battery. Is it possible to turn it off and if so how?

Anyone who has the v710 knows that there are many ways to get to voicemail. One way is to say the command "Voicemail" and apparently, *86 is dialed and then you have to hit # and your password to actually check your messages.

Another way is to go into your contacts and select Voicemail. This number can be programmed in however you like, for example you can program it to automatically enter your password for you. This one has the speed dial entry set to 1 so when you press and hold the 1 button, it will dial this entry, password and everything.

The problem I am running into is that this phonebook entry called "Voicemail" will not dial using name dial. I thought it might have to do with a conflict of the built-in command "Voicemail" ...

I just recieved the new V710 with the supposed camera fix - everything looks ok, only problem is now I can't get free WAP... I had been using the method of copying the Verizon link and leaving everything the same just changing the address to wap.google.com, then when it connected all I would have to do it hit the "back" key and BAM - free wap. But with this new phone - I get an error?? Anyone else have this problem? Or know of a fix or another method for free wap?

Thanks in advance

Crazy, huh?

My main complaint is that the phone crashes.... more often than it should.(Sure... the ideal answer here would be to never crash... but I think you know what mean.)

I really wish if the phone manufactures are going to make phones with all this stuff on them that makes them crash... I wish they could make them where when the phone does crash it would at least still be able to receive a phone call. Sort of a safe-mode... so to speak.(I have missed a few due to the crashing and me not knowing about it because the phone was lying on the table or was in my pocket!!!!!!!)

After trying and trying and trying to get the Phone Tools 2.1.2f to work last night (it just stuck at Intializing...), I went on a hunch and tried to to file transfer from both my Palm and PC. Guess what? Nada.

The Palm just barfs and gives no reason but the PC actually has to search for the device first and even though I put the V710 into "Find Me" mode, the PC never does.

So this would explain why the Phone Tools doesn't work since it does use the file transfer protocol to get the address book over to the phone.

What a bummer. I can't believe Moto disabled this! One of the most useful features of BT and the kill it! I'm totally ticked.

And of course my service call, routed to India, will get no answer other then, "That...

OK this is the 4th V710 that i have had from verizon i purchased the phone the day it came out, it had 3 major problems with it the screen was getting scratched from the keypad the bluetooth would not function at all and the phone would drop calls say no service and then come immediately back into the service area with all my bars (it always happened no matter what the coverage was like but being verizon i also am in a full bar coverage area) so i took the phone back to verizon store and they gave me another one, that phone had the same problems, so i called customer service and that same day the phone just happened to have gone on recall for the camera problem, so verizon agreed to send me an LG-VX6000 to use in the mean time until the V710...

Hi, I just upgraded my old v60 to a v710 through alltel which is my primary account, but also use verizon, for a local number in one of the cities I frequent. Anyway since alltel is my primary should I do the verizon software update through *228 on the second NAM or will that affect the software and roaming list of Alltel

you all remember those walmart ringtones? could someone please help me get them onto my phone again...i save them and attach them in an e-mail to [email protected] it says attachment dropped when i open it on thr phone...thanks for the help...peace

vzw states I quote "with bluetooth wireless technology, you can make hands-free, eyes-free calls, and connect to your pc or pda whenever and wherever you want" has there been a change with the v710? I have been out of touch for a bit thanks

This phone seems to work OK i.e. the functions I have been able to use seem OK. But the manual is nonsense. The index is hopelessly inadequate and some of the items (ring tone - downloading e.g.) are listed but absent from the book. The phone is advertised as an MP3 player but this fumction is not mentioned at all. We have us another example of a product from a major corporation, sold through another major corporation, that is not ready for prime time. I addressed these issues with Motorola's e-mail support function and was told I would have a response within 24 hours. Guess what -- so far no response. This is the sort of slop that occasionally makes life in the 21st century irksome.

I just left the Verizonwireless store in Delaware. After speaking w/ the sales rep, he informed me that the ONLY way to get pictures to your phone is to do it through Get it Now and pay the 25cents. I just need to get a definite answer here.
I was under the impression that if I purchased a card reader I would be able to take photos w/ my digital camera then pick and choose which ones I want to put on my phone. In addtion to using the USB cable to transer the photos. Is this correct? Or is there software that I have to purchase?
I have not purchased the 710 as of yet, I'm waiting for my Nextel contract to expire (8 days woo hoo!).
I am semi-literate when it comes to figuring out gadgets, but I just want to make sure that this is not ...

Id just like to say that this site is great and so far has been pretty helpful with reviews.

To begin with I just purchased the V710 a few days ago and I have a couple questions that I could use your expertise on.

I am new to the get it now feature and ringtones and wall papers, my old phone SCHa310 didnt have any of that stuff so this is a whole new world for me.

I dont have a flash card or a card reader... what do they do, where can I pick one up, and how much are they? EBAY or verizon store ??

How do I get mp3's to my phone? It didnt come with a USB port and I know it says mp3 player, which was one of the main reasons for purchasing the phone.

Is there a way to get rid of all the preprogrammed pictures already in the phon...

anybody seen any nice cell suits (cases) for the v710? the fellowes bodyglove is the best one ive seen. 😁 😁 😁

I contacted Verizon today and basically grilled them over the crippled bluetooth in the v710, and here is their response:


"We appreciate your interest in the incorporation of Bluetooth Technology with Verizon Wireless services. This is correct we have crippled some of the Bluetooth functions to insure the security of America's best, most reliable wireless network so this network is not destroyed or crippled by a internet virus that can be transferred via Bluetooth. There is a 15 day no questions asked return period if you wish to switch phones or return to old phone."


For starters, their English is a bit lumpy. (Maybe they're in Bombay!) 🤣

Second, I totally do not believe that horse-doodoo about viruses via Blueto...

i want to get thsi phone. but i heard it has bad handset and speaker phone volume and quality. i want a phone with good sounds and loud and clear. is this a good choice or should i look some where else?

I was just wondering if you can get AIM for the v710 through get it now or something besides text messaging. If so how much does it cost?

Thanks

Is there a way to sync my microsoft outlook with v710 (schedule, and phonebook?)

Can somebody please explain the security issues surrounding the Bluetooth phone concept?

Let's face it, the wireless networks in most neighborhoods are vulnerable as all heck. There are theives & hackers driving around with WI-FI laptops, downloading financial data from home networks.

Bluetooth uses the same frequency band (2.4 GHz) as most home 802.11b wireless networks. How is BT different, that it raises an alarming concern with Verizon now and not with the other carriers?

Personally, I'm much more concerned about the likelihood of what can already happen to my home LAN than the likelihood that someone will follow my phone around within 30 feet, hack in without the passkey and steal my phone book or something.
