Motorola E815 / E816 Hollywood

This isnt a huge deal but I was wondering if anyone else has noticed how bad pictures taken by the phone look when setting them to fit the screen as the wallpaper. Mine all look blurry, stretched, and just distorted. Does everyones look like this or is my camera not performing properly? No other phones I have owned have this problem. Thanks!

I just got my phone and noticed on the Moto skin that the shortcut menu is in the middle but on the techno and scarlet skins it is shifted to the left. It just seemed odd so I was wondering if this is normal with all the phones.

I've read here that the battery does not last as long when bluetooth is left powered on, but does anyone know to what extent this is the case? Is it just a minor difference or is it a significant difference?

On GSM phones when you go into motokit and volume setting you can change the volume of the phones ringtone to make it alot louder than it is set... it doesnt work with CDMA phones i dont think.. well it didnt work for me... does anyone no of a way that you can do this for this phone??? thanks

Anybody tried the Motorola H500 headset yet? Does it work well? I had the Motorola HS850 headset and thought the reception was terrible and returned it. Hoping the H500 is better. If so, where should I buy it? Verizon doesn't sell it yet.

is there any way to do this with the USB data cable to a Mac?

A number of people have discussed the short battery life of the E815, and that this may be caused by EVDO and BT.

I'm still waiting for my phone to be shipped and I think I live in an area where EVDO is supported (Southern California). However, I have no plan of using Vcast or Bluetooth (I don't like that weird looking thing hanging on my ear 🤣 ). So, please allow me a couple of questions:

1) Can you disable these two features if you don't plan to use them?

2) If you can disable them, does the manual show how to do this? If it doesn't, I would appreciate it if some kind person could tell me how to do it 🙂

Thanks in advance.

i won an auction off ebay with OEM chargers and an ext battery, the battery serial# is SNN5615a (which i see is for the 710 according to VZW website.) will this be ok for the 815? thx 😁

Motorola, Jabra, Plantronics, any opinions? My wife and I are arguing. I am using a Motorola 850, which I find to be quite adiquite. She has a Plantronic none BT which she was using on her i95. She is going to upgrade to the i870 when it comes out. She is very stubborn and wants to get a Plantronic BT. Any takers on this. Thank you

Could someone please help>> Is there a way to erase pictures saved to the phone? I had a camera phone previously that you could not erase pics already saved to the phones memory. So now you were forced to buy a memory card. Im afraid the same applies to the Motorola 815. I will be waiting for some good news... HELP!!

I currently have HS810 and not too happy with it.

IMO, the volume is too low, especially when walking outside or driving with a car window open... ☹️

Are there any better headsets on the market today?

What does it do? I didn't see anything in the manual that answered my question.

Thanks!

Apparently, verizon will have the Nokia 6256i with bluetooth, and it will have file transfer - VZW_Employee has always been a pretty reliable source of information and he has pictures of the info cards:

If another phone officially supports file transfer, and the e815 already has the software to do it (just not enabled) I'm hoping they'll officially enable it in a firmware update... :-)

I'm a new VZW customer coming from GSM with a small local carrier in VT. I'm now living and working in the Boston area. I picked the VX4650 as I felt tri-band would be useful in the rural parts of VT and NH where only analog is available. Also I don't really want or need a camera.

However, in spite of the glowing reports I read here about the VX4650's reception, I have found it will not hold a call in the building where my new job is located. If I walk over to a window then it works. My previous GSM phone, which I still have for 30 days, works much better inside this building.

My question is whether the Moto E815 could possibly do substantially better than the VX4650 for reception in a given location. If I return the LG phone and get t...

i posted two of these now, but i tried the hack to get my phone to only be on 1x. and now it wont get out of the white screen with blue letters. someone please help, if i cant get out of this what do i say to the verizon people cause i dont know if its bad or not to do this hacking thing. please help.
thanks

Just wondering- the phone works great as it stands now, just wanted to see if there was any tweaking being done to it.

Ok, when I lay my phone down on the table and look at the side opposite the attenna and look at the bottom corner, I can see the white tab thing. Is that normal or is my lid messed up?

Thanks,
Jim

Does the phone still ring like normal when the BT is connected?

Let me explain. A Swivel Holster that holds the phone "Face In" so that #1 the Front Screen of the phone is protected. #2 you don't light up a dark room when you recieve a call! I know that the back of the 815 is NOT the most attractive part of this phone however, I personally would feel more comfortable with the phone facing in. Not to be confused with the leather case Verizon offers that Hangs off you belt like an appendage! This is one the fits the 710 and now the 815. I would like that holster, but holding the phone face it. Am I Crazy?

I have a usb card reader for my olympus digital camera and im wondering if it will read the transflash card or if i need to buy a reader. i know they are inexpensive but if it is comaptible then i dont want to pay for one?

any input would be great!! 😕
