LG VX-8300

Appreciating the advice in advance.

My parents (not the world's most technically skilled people) purchased the VX-8300 and a Moto H500 headset. They don't seem to work very well at all. I have a V710 and a Plantronics 640 that I have used for about a year without a problem. I had a hard time getting the H500 to work with my phone too.

Is the H500 crap or does the VX-8300 have BT issues and if so, what BT headset works well with the VX-8300?

Thanks

Does anyone know why this happens or is it only my phone that is doing this. Ok right now my reception is at the EV 1X full level, but when i make a call and connects it switches to 1X mode. Is there a reason for that. Can anyone explain. Thanks

I just got this phone two weeks ago and I was wondering why the phone turned itself off.

The telephone was lying on the table and I heard a chime sound. I looked at the phone and saw that it was off. I had to turn it back on.

I'm wondering how reliable it is, because I use it as an alarm clock too, so I feel I can't count on it now because it turned itself off.

Any ideas what happened?

I am pretty certain that when my phone rings, the tone isn't quite as loud as when I play it in MyRingtones. I have checked the settings and the master volume is on high.

Has anyone else noticed this?

Hi,

I just got my VX8300, and I've been toying with the settings, etc. for the past half hour or so.

Now, when I miss a call, my phone does an annoying little chime. I usually have my phone on all the time and I set to vibrate so I know when I get a call but it doesn't disrupt anyone else. The chime, however, is quite loud.

Does anyone know how to get it to stop doing this?

Thanks for any help.

Everyday I look reviews, opinions, specs and photos of these phones, but I am not sure at all which is better! Here are the things I like about these phones.

SYNC- 2 MP Camera; HSDPA; THIN

CU500- ROTATING CAMERA; APPEARANCE; 65K EXTERNAL

BLADE- LARGE INTERNAL SCREEN; SPRINT; CAMERA

LG VX8300- MP3; SMALL; CALL QUALITY

Obviously there are alot more, I am just stating the most common. Some of these phones have the exact same features, such as Camera, MP3 Keys etc.

Now what I am complaining about is the the SYNC has a HORRRIBLE external screen and it's probably the less impressive phone in terms of good looks and material unlike the rest. Its kinda plain lookin. The CU500 has no FLASH in it's camera, and it has only 65k colors ...

Can I email a WMA file to my phone and play it?

We bought an 8300 yesterday for my wife with a bluetooth headset that has a miniusb port. Does anyone know of a splitter (like what motorola makes) to split the 8300 connection into the connection and a miniusb?

Thanks

Hello,

I'm thinking about having a new radio installed in my 2004 Toyota 4runner. It has bluetooth, so I wass wondering if you guys had any idea.

Specifically I am wondering if it will automatically connect, if it will allow me to transfer my phone book, and if it will show things like reception and battery power.

Also, will leaving bluetooth on full time drain my battery???


Thanks!!

Has anyone used this phone as a pager. That would eliminate one of my electronic gizmos. If so, simple explanation how would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I have downloaded "LG Download" (the LG firmware upgrade/downgrade software).

Anyway, I was wondering if I upgrade from V01 (I have it now) to V03 will the EQ still be there, when I play any Vcast or WMA files the audio seems flat, when I use the EQ with mp3 player in V01 I can make it sound better via EQ.

Ok, bear with me. I was deciding between the VX8300 and the 8600.
I know this will sound wierd, but the fingerprints on the front of the 8600 will just drive me nuts, so I think I am gonna just go with the 8300.....

Question. Instead of buying the silly vcast kit from Verizon, can I just get a USB card reader and just load my music onto the SD card that way? Or am I missing something?

Another reason I want the 8300, is I still want a 2.5mm jack to give me a nice selection fo earbuds, I want to listen to music on my motorcycle.....

Any other opinions on why I should get the 8600 over the 8300..... I have been to the Verizon store freakin 3 times...... its a tough decision, but I think I am making the right choice....

By the way...

I'm trying to fin a dual twin desktop cradle charger for the lg vx8300. i want to be able to charge the phone and a second battery at the same time. Does anyone know where I can buy one? Ebay or amazon, both do not seem to have that type of charger.

My contract will be up and my NE2 will be available in about 5 weeks. I've been driving myself nuts trying to decide on my next phone. I finally get settled on one (VX8300) and now I'm reading all of this stuff about the Bluetooth not working correctly! 😡
What's the deal? Is there ANY Bluetooth headset out there that works with this phone? I want one that will let me receive AND place calls by using the voice commands thru the headset. Has anyone found one that will do that ?

When the Verizon tech upgraded the software in my 8300 today, he said the fix allowed it to now accept a 2 GB memory card.

I don't see one sold on the Verizon site.

Are there any sources of (preferably cheaper than VZW) 2 GB memory cards that will work in this phone? Do they have to be the ones sold by Verizon to work in the phone?

Can anyone out there tell me if the vibrate mode on the 8300 is strong? I currently have the Razr V3m and always have it on vibrate and miss a lot of calls, the vibrate is so weak. Any info would be appreciated, thanks

I've taken a few 15 sec vid's with my 8300 now & had no problem sending them.
But I recently took one & it says "it's too large to send please try another".
The kb on this particular vid is 192 all the other's are in the high 170's or low 180's kb.
All have been recorded in 15 secs, not sure why this one is larger than the rest of them.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
I do not have a micro-card either if that could make a difference.

Thanx,

Greg.

With my old Audiovox 9900, I could email ringtones to mynumber@vzwpix.com, then extract and use. Can this be done with the 8300? If so, what music formats will it accept?

This may or may not have been discussed before; I searched several pages of the forum and cannot find it.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

ok ive been wondering if u can just download songs onto windows media player for free and just take those and put them onto ur phone. or does it have to be specially downloaded from vcast?

how long can you go between charges with this phone?
thanks!
