Phone Calls When Keypad Is Locked

Has anyone experienced when the keypad is locked and some one calls you that the display will only be lit for a second or two? If you have any way to keep the display lit longer please reply to this message.

How to disable the service tone when dialing out?

Question for all that own it. Does your phone make a loud beep through the speakers on the back every time you make a call? Very annoying! Wondering if there is a way to disable this.

Those who sync with Exchange?

A few questions:

If you are getting your email on your Q are you also getting it on your desktop? (I hope)

If you delete it on the Q...Will it stay in your in box on your PC?

If you send on the Q will it sync with sent folder?

Any way to synch notes?

Do I disable VZN wireless sync (To use Exhange) since that is what I am using now?

Volume Control & Vibrate

My phone ringer volume is very low. I've gone into the Audio Enhancement but it is very general and even the highest volume (5) is not too loud. I know some of you are thinking that my solution does not lie within the Q, but with and ear doctor.

I want my phone to vibrate first and then ring. How do I set that up? And is there a way to increase the volume of the alarm?

VZ says "Known Issue" - Problems with Q accessing the net...

I ordered a Motorola Q last Wednesday; it was promised for Friday. Showed up Monday. Opened the box and the unit was damaged (it had been dropped) but it dialed calls and surfed the net. I took it to a VZ store and exchanged it for an undamaged phone. Got it home and - discovered the new phone won't surf the net. Called data tech support; after 30 minutes on hold with the rep she finally tells me there is a KNOWN ISSUE with the Q and the Verizon system; that they have had a number of calls about this problem. She has to "escalate the ticket" and it will take 24 to 48 hours before I hear back from them. Great; another 1 or 2 days wait to see if the thing even works...

I am a Cingular customer and got this phone because of the Q. So far I h...

copy/paste functionality?

As this is not a touchscreen, I'm wondering if anyone has a feel for (or if) cut and paste works. I think this would be a major thing missing compared to the treo for those who edit documents, or copy small pieces of text around. Also, if one exists for the OS, how's the ssh client?

help with video

I was trying to view a youtube video from an email today... I clicked the link sent by a friend, and the web page appeared just fine, however the video was missing. In its place read something that said 'hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old verison of Macromedia's Flash Player.' Any thoughts? I tried to download the flash player but it was unsuccessful.

* Motorola Q2 - What would you do?

Not if there will be a Q2 but when, hmm....

What would you change. I personally think that with some straight forward basic tweaks. The Q or Q2 if you will, could be one of the best devices on the market!

Blackberry Streamlining
- Double spaces equal period.
- Autotext
- Distribution groups or lists
- Text selection
- A little work on the keyboard layout
- Hard delete key

Anyway that my quick two cents, lets run with it.

Regards

over in the "Review: Motorola Q" discussion:

Lovely Phone; Ugly Software

Before you get too hot and heavy over the Motorola Q, if you are a serious user, you might think twice.

The New York Times technology editor just wrote a very critical review of the Q, using numerous real-life examples of how this phone comes up short:

http://tinyurl.com/jvjl4 »

If you are a Blackberry or Palm user, you might want to stick with your current phone so you don't buy into the hype and get disappointed.

While I don't know yet for sure, the brand new Nokia E61 (similar QUERTY smartphone design) seems like it is getting better reviews -- although unlike Motorola, Nokia has put zero marketing dollars into the E61 launch in the US.

You can see a detailed [and yes, critical] review of the E61 here:

Wall Street Journal Full Page Review ot the Q vs 700p

Anybody see the front page of the Personal Journal section of the Wall Street Journal this morning?

Mossberg did a side by side of the Q vs the 700p. Didn't work out too well for Moto.

They basically said that the Q has a much better form factor but is annoying to use. They recommended staying with the 700p if you are a heavy business user, but getting the Q if size is most important to you.

Their main complaints about the Q:
- uncomfortable keyboard
- hard to open file attachments
- lower resolution screen
- terrible menu

Main pro for the Q: size and "cool" factor

I personally value the size factor as one of my major purchase decisions - so I'm willing to deal with the other annoyances and difficult to use menu's.

Copy and Pasting appointments

Ok here is my problem. I have the XV6700 now and the thing is just huge in my pocket and I love how thin the Q is but I have been messing around with one and can't seem to find a way to copy and paste in the calander. This is a huge feature for me for scheduling appointments that are really the same thing just at different times in each day. on my 6700 I just click and hold the appointment and paste it in a different time slot. I really want to get this Q but this inability to copy will get way too anoying any help with this would be great.
