Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Nextel / October 2004I730 ground clip modification - Dallas area
Does anyone know of a Nextel Service Center in the Dallas area that has the ground clips needed for the I730 modification? The several that I contacted either has never heard of the modification or doesn't have the clips to do the mod. In case you haven't heard, I730's manufactured prior to July 2004, need to have a ground clip installed inside the case. This supposedly improves reception/fixes dropped call issues. I've seen the official Motorola service bulletin on it, so it's not one of those "sticker hoaxes" that you see from time to time. Thanks! call 611 and they'll tell you...that modification does nothing t improve service however - rdmille if you wanna donate for unlocking after the service has been rendere that's cool. but if not, no worries i don't hold any grudges! my paypa addy is reecers@hotmail.com > call 611 and they'll tell you...that modification does nothing to > improve service however. Then why did Motorola put out the service bulletin? I've seen other forums where people said they did the mod and they now get reception where they didn't before. I left Sprint after many years because of dropped calls/calls going to voicemail without ringing the phone. Nextel has only been slightly better so I thought I'd try the mod. >>call 611 and they'll tell you...that modification does nothing to >>improve service however.

IIRC, the bulletin said that not all eligible phones would perform better (in other words, not all phones were flawed) It certainly can't hurt though.  SignatureA: Maybe because some people are too annoyed by top-posting. Q: Why do I not get an answer to my question(s)? A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? I fond bottom-posting annoying. Since I have already read the thread in previous messages, why should I have to scroll down through it all again to get the reply? It makes absolutely no sense or logic. >>>call 611 and they'll tell you...that modification does nothing to >>>improve service however.

Try reading upwards of 500 message a day, you'll understand the value of context. SignatureReality is a nice place, but I wouldn't want to live there. "> Try reading upwards of 500 message a day, you'll understand the value of > context. I don't (and never will) read 500+ messages a day. So your answer is irrelevant. What works for you is not necessarily the answer to the salvation of the world. But there, I did it your way. > I fond bottom-posting annoying. Since I have already read the thread > in previous messages, why should I have to scroll down through it > all again to get the reply? It makes absolutely no sense or logic. It makes perfect sense, we were taught to read from top to bottom. The key is that people snip out the irrevelant portions before adding their replies below. My pet peeve is where people quote an entire 20 line paragraph and then add something like "I agree" at the bottom. By the way, I quoted your entire post because it was short and all of it was relevant to my reply. much of the drama of the 730 (and the following falcons) was that 6: interconnect was supposed to roll out and all the falcon phones hav been programmed with this in mind. all condor and previous models ru 3:1 but can be switched to 6:1 but would function much like your 730 do on the 3:1 network. that's why u hear ppl staying with the 95 or 9 or just dealing with the dropped calls. service centers are now gettin billed almost 3 times more the price of a quick swap ($35) for sendin falcon phones that exhibit this "dropped call" phenom because the phon is properly functioning. this grounding antenna does very little fo your phone and like mentioned not all qualify....ur best bet is get a external antenna like the wilson or yagi and plug it into the externa antenna jack or just deal with it. 6:1 is "supposed" to increas service as extend battery life and increase voice quality. it is onl currently operational in Reston, VA...aka Nextel Headquarters. mmd can explain all this much better but doesn't come around muc anymore cause of all the crap that gets posted here. best info can b found on hof - rdmille if you wanna donate for unlocking after the service has been rendere that's cool. but if not, no worries i don't hold any grudges! my paypa addy is reecers@hotmail.com Previously in alt.cellular.nextel, rdmiller <rdmiller.1elts6@nospam.cellphoneforums.net> proclaimed : >much of the drama of the 730 (and the following falcons) was that 6:1 >interconnect was supposed to roll out and all the falcon phones have [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] >anymore cause of all the crap that gets posted here. best info can be >found on hofo I live in Reston and the signal quality here *sucks*. Direct Connect is always jammed and dropped calls, even with non i730 pones are a common occurrence. __________________________________________________________________________ People are more violently opposed to fur than leather because it's safer to harass rich women than motorcycle gangs. -Unknown __________________________________________________________________________ Remove "die spammers" to email > this grounding antenna does very little for your phone and like > mentioned not all qualify.
