Motorola E815 / E816 Hollywood

The Verizon Website is now selling the extended battery made especially for the E815.
And lo and behold, it's the same exact extended battery for the V710. 😲

Does anyone have any trick or a possible way to make the 815 have individual text message ringers? I'd like to have a text ringer ID instead of one sound for all people.
That's about the only feature I don't see that I would like to have.

I've been to 2 Verizon Wireless Stores this past week to see if any E815 extended batteries may have came in just in case they may had failed to announce it on their website.
Each store tried to push me into buying V710 standard & extended batteries saying that both phones are physically the same; just different software.
A question in the Motorola's support website FAQ section mentions about the V710 & E815 batteries. It recommended to use only the In-box E815 standard battery with the E815 battery door.
I know that answer is kind of vague since you may already have the V710's extended battery door that comes with the battery so the battery would fit.
Was Verizon just trying to make a sale or there really isn't any issue concerning usin...

I looked on-line at places like Circuit City, Staples, Office Depot, Best Buy and Radio Shack for a store that has them in-stock so I could order it through their site and pick it up at the store. I hate ordering stuff on-line and then waiting for it the mail and I would rather walk-in someplace and carry it out.

Not a single store in the Northern VA area around Dulles Airport (5 Circuit Cities, 5 Best Buys, 3 Radio Shacks, 2 Staples and 2 Office Depots) has the 256 in stock. They have a lot of 128's and 512's in stock though.

I even checked Motorola and they don't have it.

Anybody having trouble finding them locally?

Just checking to see if the motorola oem cables that can be found on amazon.com for about $7 and are said to be compatible for nextel phones can be used for the e815 for seem editing and if this is the best way to go in terms of usb cables

Also, on my E815, the camera shows:
Zoom: 1x
Zoom: 2x
Zoom: 4x

But there is no Zoom: 3x. Is this a camera flaw only on my phone, or does Zoom: 3x NOT show up on all E815s?

Anyone, anyone?

I'm trying to determine if I have a bad cam (phone).

Does anyone know if some of the outer plastic pieces can be replaced?? My daughter got a hold of my phone and decided she wanted to play hockey with it> ☹️ So know I have knicks on the head piece as well as the edges around the bottom portion where you plug it in and also the hinge area. I really LOVE my daughter but am so P@#!&D right now I can't see straight. If anyone has any info please let me know, Thanks.

I just purchased the E815 a few weeks ago and I was wondering...

1. Did they stop making transflash? I tried searching for the card everywhere, (Circuit City, Best Buy, Office stores, etc...) but NO ONE has it! Someone told me they were replacing the card with Micro SD which apparently is also compatible with the phone, but I havent seen it either. What gives?

2. Can I transfer ringtones from my computer to my phone, or do they need to be purchased? Someone had mentioned it was possible to email them to your phone, but I'm not sure how...

3. Has anyone tried using this phone as a wireless fax modem? I found that I could dial from my bluetooth pda to the e815, and it would make the call. I figure with a good fax program, it wo...

Need help,

A a Newbee I'm going to attempt to modify the seem on my E815 for OBEX etc. Having read every post, I'm told i need file PST_7.1.1.rar.

I've found this 7.1.1 file via a web search and also have found and downloaded PST_7.2.3.rar.
should i use the 711 or the 723 file.

Can someone tell me the part number of the correct USB cable part that i need to get??

thanks this is all new to me......

I work for a verizon agent and the only bluetooth headset we have in the store is the HS820 and everyone i call complains that they can hear their self echoing! So i have chose not to buy it and im wondering if its the headset or the phone. I tried lowering the volume on the headset and it still echoed but not as bad! Just wondering if any one has expirenced the same problem? Bc i get hell of a price break for that headset so its too bad if its just the headset! 🙄 Besides that i love my e815! thanks let me kno..

Are there any sample pictures from the e815 available? I currently have the 710 which takes great outdoor pictures, but the indoor quality just sucks!

can u have custumizable ringtones like ur mp3's as ringtones or ur own sound.....?

I HAVE AN 8100, NOT EVEN A WEEK OLD WITH THE NEW UPDATE THAT ENABLES THE MP3 PLAYER AND IM LOOKING TO TRADE IT FOR A MOTOROLA 815.
ALSO MY 8100 HAS A 512MB MIN SD CARD INCLUDED.
SO IF INTERESTED PLEASE EMAIL ME AT nousske@excite.com or can text me at 319-360-6898

Verzion Tech and Moto both tell the that verizon turned off the feature to use the E815 as a Modem. Is this True and if not How do I connect my PC to the phone so I can access the Internet on my PC. Please don't tell me to go to Howrdfourms. I spent hours there and I am totally confused. VZN also told me if I play with the software it will void the Gty and the phone may stop working. They also said they have no plans for a Mobile kit for the E815 and I should downgrade to the V710 if I want to use the phone as a modem/ please help

Any opinions or help?

I can't believe how poor the quality is of pics I take with my new E815. The pics look great on the camera screen, but when transferred to the computer, they are absolutely LOUSY. Cannot get clarity in the images no matter what. Even in bright outdoor light, a closeup on a face is fuzzy. Not blurry, just no detail or crispness. Very, very poor. Even worse then my previous V265, which really makes me wonder. I keep reading from some that their pics from the E815 are great, so I'm wondering if I have a bad camera on mine? Anyone? Anyone?

What's the bottom line. I have the V710 from Verizon and am not happy with it. I am due for an upgrade and was wondering which one of the two to get. Can anyone please give some advice. Someone preferably who has researched it or has had both. It's got to work well with Bluetooth.

is the 710 REALLY that much worse than the 815? i'm thinking about going to the 710...

Is it just my phone, or does everyone's 815 keep the call connected when you turn the speakerphone on during a call and then close the phone? I am able to keep talking to the person, anyone else have this? Pretty cool.

I had the V710 for a short while. It would freeze up on me, requiring me to power it off, then on. So I got rid of it. Anyone have that issue on the E815, or has Motorola fixed that problem?
