Hi Everyone,
Just got a new V600 a couple of days ago, my 1st
Motorola and have a couple of questions for all you knowledgable people out
there. Hopefully there will be some answers

1. Is there a way to lock/disable the external keys on the left side of the
phone so that the ringer 'style' cannot be accidentally altered while in a
pocket or carry case?

2. Is there a way to alter the time that the backlight on the external LCD
display stays on after closing the main cover?

3. Is there a way to have the incomming caller's name/number scroll across
the external screen? All I get at the moment is part of the name.

4. When connected to my Jabra200 BT headset and get an incomming call the
phone sounds a 'ring ring' sounding tone instead of the ringtone I have
selected for normal use?

That's about all that's puzzling me at the moment, but I am sure I will find
more stuff not explained in the manual.

Thanks in advance for any help received.

Cheers,

M

1. Unfortunately no.
2. The display backlight timeout in the Menu/Settings will allow you to
change the backlight timer.
3. No the scrolling doesn't happen. Just shows part of the name that will
fit.
4. BT link is very limited. I think it has a top data rate of only about
14kb. So cool ringtones need 64kb or better so the link is what is limited.
Between the headset and phone that is.

Hi,
Many thanks for the info. The display backlight time setting appears
only to affect the main screen/keypad and not the external screen?
Would have been nice if the name could have scrolled across the
screen...*sigh*

Thanks anyway...much appreciated.

Cheers,

M

If that is true, why can it transmit voice? I would think that midi
ringtones would be very easy to transmit. I would love to know who is
calling without looking at the phone. Come to think of it, if you power
down the phone with the BT headset on, you can hear the power down tones.

Point 1 -locking left external keys
can be sort of achieved by putting a password (via security menu) on the
option to change ring style.

then if you accidentally press the button in pocket the phone will prompt
for a password.

Hi,
Ok, but by the time you have heard the ringer, got the phone out,
entered a password the caller will have either got pissed off or gone to
voicemail

Will look at the forum in the meantime as well as keeping my Nokia 6310i
alive....more logical!!

Cheers and thanks to all!!!

Wrong password. I didn't mean the phone lock password. The v600 lets you
put passwords on a whole range of individual menu options. Simply put a
password on the option that controlls changing the ringtone (sorry can't
rememember exactly which one and don't have my phone with me to check). It
won't affect the answerability.

Ok Thanks. Will try that. What is the default security code as I can't find
it anywhere and 0000 doesn't seem to work?
