I agree, although sometimes I'd rather have Pepsi while looking @ my VX 8100. (Hey, I figured I'd put something in here about the 8100 so that way no one could say that we are in the wrong forum!) 🤣
...
I'm a Coke girl, myself, DIET COKE that is, AND I LOVE my 8100!
...
Yea nothing beats drinking Coca Cola and checking out movie reviews by Gene Shalit on V - cast on my vx 8100 *wink* (can onley talk about the phone) 🙂 🙂
...
I don't understand why everyone is having so many problems with their 8100! I've had none (knock on wood) and have even gotten IT to drink DIET COKE!!!!!!!!!!!
...
It needs DIET coke or it will get fatter Nooooooo! 😲
...
I've also gotten mine to fly and make me waffles!
Ok, enough joking aside. I'm just bored and in a mood today and waiting for new posts/answers!
I do really love my phone, though, and even though I have absolutely no problems to work out with it, I still can't get off this forum. I think I may need some professional help.
...
But just think of the service you're providing to others!! Any therapist would say you're doing a great job!! 😁
...
Thanks! That makes me feel a lot better! 🙂

Hey, Mary, (I know this sounds stupid), can you check your SW version for me, please? And one other thing (since your phone isn't giving you any problems - I wish I had your luck!). Okay, here's the thing:
IF you don't have any texts in your inbox, send yourself a text message. (something like "test"). If you DO have at least 1 mess. in your inbox, don't worry about sending yourself a text.
THEN, send yourself a pix message.
Once you get the PIX message, simply erase.
Now, can you tell me if the erased pix message was replaced by a message that looks like this:
????????????????????
And when you open it, says "Failed to play video"
Please let me know if this happens. Also, your S/W version (Menu, Settings and Tool, Sy...

Sent myself a text, worked fine.
Sent myself a pix message and indeed it was replaced by a message ?????????????????, which when opened said "Failed to play video". Then I simply just deleted it. I now see what you mean. Does this happen if someone else sends you a pix message? If you give me your cell number, I will send you a pix and see what happens.
Also, my S/W version is:
SW Version: T81VZV01
PRL Version: PRL 50316
ERI Version: ERI 4
Browser Version: 6.2.3.2
Get It Now Version: 2.1.3.20

Okay Mary so if u didn't have any problems ur camera DOESN'T have a 1 - 2 sec delay after u push a button and u WERE able to set mp3 to play as a ringtone???
...
All is correct, except, I didn't set MP3's to play as a ringtone, I just put them on my phone to listen to them.
...
So there is NO delay in camera??? are u sure cus there seems to be a delay and the pic u take is actually different from the freeze frame... 🙄
...
There is absolutely NO delay in the camera. I press ok and it takes the pic immediately and the pic on the phone is the one I just took. No changes at all, it dosn't take a second pic.
...
Pepsi for me, and I heart my 8100!
...
Thanks for checking that out, Mary. I went to my VZW store and they suggested trying one more phone, as they said it could've been a small batch. They didn't have any more in stock, so I went to another store and got one. SAME THING!! Oh well, this must DEFINITELY be software, or something!!
Yes, it also happens when the pix are sent to someone, or received from someone. The reason I said to send yourself a text message (if you didn't already have one in the Inbox) is b/c, for some reason, if the inbox/ sent box is empty and then you get a pix message (so the pix message is the only one) and then erase it, it looks like it's really gone. Then, if you get another text (or whatever), all of a sudden, all the ?????????? appear from t...

...
No problem. Sorry I couldn't have been more of a help.
...
Trust me, you were a big help! I'm glad to know that I've kinda figured out where those ?????? messages were coming from b/c at first I thought it was random. Thanks again for checking those things for me! Now I know that it's happening (under the same circumstances) for someone else. By the way, I don't know if I mentioned that the way to get those ??????? to disappear is to turn the phone off and back on. 😁
...
I was able to just erase it.
...
Yeah, sometimes it will let you erase it and sometimes it won't - at least with me. Thanks again!
