LG 8700 crashed?
I just got 8700 last week after returning a KRZR (Verison) because of reception issues in my house. Motorolas typically (for me) have been unreliable as far as their internal anntennas. Reception and static issues for me in and around the bay area. I thought the KRZR had to be an improvement, not.
Upon first using the 8700 I deceided to see how long I could go without charging (ie like seeing how far I could go with the gas light on empty). So, as of Friday May 11th thru today Monday May 14th, no charging(maybe 10 total calls, few mins each, no pics). And pleasantly surprised to see 3 of 4 bars of charge left on the display.
Unfortunatly, after I saw it go to 2 bars, I couldn't take it anymore and had to charge...

Scratch potential with VX 8700??
Ringtones
Does anyone know a way around this and if so walk me thru it.
Thanks,
I think the battery is not going to cut it !
The 8700 with it's 800Mah battery is just not going to be a marathon runner.
Looks like I get about 2 hours and 10 minutes of talk time just about everyday.. It seems to be able to go longer and then it just poops out.
The battery meter is a horror.. You could get 1hour or more out of bar one and then all hell breaks loose.. It drops like a rock and the low battery warning will allow for almost no action and it just dies.
The 8300 has a 1100Mah battery and they dare put a 800 in this puppy with a much larger screen to eat the battery for lunch.
So I am out for now..
Back to the 8300 and still testing KRZR battery life. Seems to get like 3 hours consistantly with it's micro screen...

Droping Bluetooth Connection with the 8700
My wife also has the 8700 and has had no problems connecting to my headset.
Has anybody had this problem or know how to fix it?
Secret Programming Menu
Upload from laptop to 8700 via bluetooth
I'm very new at this so please excuse my ignorance... I have been trying to upload music and pictures to my 8700 from my laptop and vice-versa. But all I get is transfer failed. Please help !!
my assessment of the LG vs. MAXX
Battery life was better then the LG, but other then that, it was nothing exciting. it's basically a black razor with a better camera and bigger screen. The maxx is nice but wow, it looked terrible with all the finger prints. It just wasn't anything new really and it was just a tad too big to carry around in your pocket.
now the LG is just a classier phone. It is smaller then the maxx no...

Anyone Switch from a Samsung U740?
Also, does anyone know if you can text using your voice on the LG? I love this feature on the Samsung!
Thanks in advance for replying!

State Of Ohio Employee Discount
I work for the State of Ohio and our rep is telling me that my coporate price on this phone is $189.00 with no $ 50.00 rebate allowed. How can that be when online they are selling the phone for $229.00 - $50.00 rebate = $ 179.00. Doesn't seem like a discount when they are charging you $ 10.00 more.
Can a VZ Rep please explain this too me.
Thanks
Better Price?
newbie question
I put a bunch of ringtones on the SD card, and I can't figure out how to put them onto the phone into the My Ringtones. I get them moved to My Sounds, but now what?
I figured out if I send them to myself as a pix file, I can save them.. but there has to be a better way using the SD card.
any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
thanks, Susan
