Cellular Phone Forum / General / GSM / March 2006Razr V3 questions
I have a brand new, unbranded unlocked Black Razr which I use with my (former) ATTW SIM on the Cingular network. I have obseerved the following negative symptoms and would appreciate answers/suggestions: 1. Very poor battery performance -- both in stand-by and occasional voiced usage mode. I have emptied and re-loaded the new battery 4-5 times. My V600 is MUCH better in this regard. 2. The roaming triangle is alway visible, even when he network is identified as Cingular. 3. When I leave the Cingular area (into a roaming area, identified as "roaming" or some other network,the phone drops the bluetooth connection to my headset. I'd appreciate any suggestions, explanations, and/or fixes. Franz >I have a brand new, unbranded unlocked Black Razr which I use with my >(former) ATTW SIM on the Cingular network.

I have no choice there, I guess, as a former ATTWS customer with a very good family plan, unwilling to switch to the new --soon to be revamped again?? - Cingular. >>I have obseerved the following negative symptoms and would appreciate >>answers/suggestions: [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > the > super slim design. Makes sense; I'll carry spare battery and car charger on trips. >>2.

This is really only a minuscule irritation and I had wondered whether the constant "roaming" was an additional drain on the battery. >>3.

I will try another bluetooth headset and see what happens, This did not happen with the same headset on the V 600. Thank you for the prompt and informative response -- I had not realized that there was a alt.cellular.motorola group -- I will also look there. Regards, Franz >>>1.
