i swear i read somewhere that the firmware update for the 8910 messed with using a cable and bitpim and stuff. but if i didnt, i need to do that. my phone does weird stuff sometimes.

if you go into menu/settings/sounds/ringer type/ringer, you will get the list of factory loaded tones to come up in a list to choose from. if you press over left or right you will get to a heading called "downloads" and the ringer should appear under there.

I have the wierdest problem. I believe the tones which I have downloaded to the phone are locked. Here's what happens. When I go to the Media Gallery and open it I see the songs I have downloaded, but I can't do anything with it. Does this mean it's locked or something?

I nothced last week on the right side of my 8910's display that there was a small white dot. Today, when i was playing tetris, i noticed that this had gotten much worse. now it's a bunch of little white dots on the right side of my screen. I'm getting really sick of the problems with this phone

if it says it can't be assigned, thats what mine does too. if you go into settings to change your ringer, you can scroll over and get to the downloads menu to look at the ringtones you put on your phone. then you can set them as ringers. if you want them set for anything else i have no idea and would like to know if you can.

Just wondering, how do u change the homepage on the 8910????? How do i do it and what do i set it on.

**criddled456** · 02-18-2005, 08:49 PM

if ud like to change your homepage on your 8910, you may want to try this. NOTE my phone is verizon and the content in the file may be specific to my phone. i cant guarantee it will work and it may mess up your phone. theres also no guarantee that changing your hompage will get free wap to work. if u do try, BACK UP YOUR FILES!

while i was messing with bitpim somehow the phone let me change the homepage. i hexdumped a buncha files and i think i may have found the one that contains the homepage. in the NVM directory, expand NVM and find the file nvm_hei

if ur feeling courageous. overwrite it with the attached file. heres a section of the file whick lead me to believe its the homepage info.

any feed back is appreciated, i hope it helps! Dont screw up your phone

I have had problems with my LG 4500 with Verizon for months and they give me a song and dance about it There service has been very poor and reception has been poor also.

My Sprint 8100 phone and service BURNS Verizon like jet fuel

I know Verizon has better coverage but this phone does all kinds of wierd things like going to driving mode and manner mode at various times I want out of my 2yr contract been with them about 11 months now

**okashira** · 02-23-2005, 04:53 PM

Can someone direct me to a thread that gives insight into using the 8910 with VZW service as a modem for laptop(usb cable)

I cannot find anything thru searching.
Thanks.
