Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Verizon / November 2006Razr startup and shutdown ads
Shutting down my Razr phone results in a noisy ad for Vcast. This is undesirable when my reason for shutting down is that I'm in a meeting or something where phone noise is frowned upon. Also, I could care less about Vcast and really don't care to see the ads. My only choice, as far as I can tell, is to shut off the master volume, then shut down. Also, startup shows a different ad, also with noise, and takes forever. Is there a way to get rid of the startup and shutdown ads and noise? > Shutting down my Razr phone results in a noisy ad for Vcast.

You go under MENU-SETTINGS & TOOLS-DISPLAY-WALLPAPER-Then find another wall paper and screen saver other than the vcast wallpaper and then change to the MY PIC's folder select the one you want, then OPTIONS and then press SET AS- Wallpaper. Presto you have gotten rid of that VCast wallpaper and sound.

I have a Motorola PEBL on T-Mo and the startup noise is annoying, but it was even more annoying on my T-Mo V188 because that phone has a startup AND shutdown thingy... the way to avoid the noises is to put the phone on vibrate or silent... Motorola phones seem to be particularly obnoxious in this respect...

Thanks. I was setting the phone to silent until my wife accidentally forgot to turn it back on and we missed a couple of important calls. I'm hoping there's a better way. > >> The wallpaper doesn't affect the power-on and power-off Verizon ads and [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Motorola phones seem to be particularly obnoxious in this respect... Thanks. I've had different wallpaper and screen saver from day one. Doesn't affect the shutdown and startup. >> Shutting down my Razr phone results in a noisy ad for Vcast.

That one should have to do that shows the pitiful state to which our civilization has sunk. Go to HoFo (howardforums.com) All you need is there. And much more. > Shutting down my Razr phone results in a noisy ad for Vcast.

What's the purpose for these ads anyway, i mean we're all VZW customers already. They should limit such ads to the in store phones on display. > Go to HoFo (howardforums.com) > All you need is there.

But you're not necessarily a VCast customer. You might be one of those worthless freeloaders who thinks that your phone is for making phone calls. > > What's the purpose for these ads anyway, i mean we're all > > VZW customers already. > > They should limit such ads to the in store phones on display. > > But you're not necessarily a VCast customer.

Yep, that'd be me! ;-) At least i can turn off the startup/shutdown sound on my vx8300, though it would be nice to get rid of the graphics altogether so the phone would boot up faster. >> What's the purpose for these ads anyway, i mean we're all >> VZW customers already.

Ah, I was wondering why I didn't get any respect....<g> May be, but finding it is close to impossible. If you have specific information about my question, please point me in the right direction. > Go to HoFo (howardforums.com) > All you need is there. And much more.

I found out by accident today that if you hold down the power-off button of your Razr until you see an all-white screen, it shuts down silently. The V-cast splash still occurs, but at least there's no sound. Doesn't work on power-up, though... 8;( -- Larry Thanks. Better than the default. >> Is there a way to get rid of the startup and shutdown ads and noise? > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > -- Larry |
