I have divided up the entries into the following major subsections: Hardware Applications Hacks How to Label Cloud. Windows Live Search works well with the GPS as well, and offers some cool extra features like finding gas stations or movies playing nearby movie theatres can even be called directly from with Live Search.
We don't usually dedicate a section of our Windows Mobile phone reviews to software because there's very little variation from the basic Microsoft standard issue applications. Motorola has taken a different route and we applaud them.
As mentioned earlier, Moto adds the capable Opera web browser, and they also include Documents To Go rather than Microsoft's basic mobile Office suite.
It also includes a PDF reader and a zip manager. Personalize My Q is a handy app that lets you customize various aspects of the home screen including right soft key shortcut and on-screen shortcuts to applications. Motorola's cameras once were below average. But in the past year they've gotten their act together and the Q9 Global's 2.
Colors are reasonably accurate, there's plenty of image data to make for a sharp, but generally not over-sharpened image, and saturation is good under indoor low light. Software is no-frills: Motorola uses Microsoft's standard bundle Pictures and Videos application as the camera software.
You can adjust resolution max is x and there are a variety of lesser resolutions suitable for caller photo ID and MMS , adjust brightness, set white balance from a list of presets, turn the flash on or off and use burst mode or timer mode. There's 8x digital zoom and the camera can automatically save images to a storage card. The video recorder can record video with audio at an uninspiring x and x 96 at 15fps and has 4x digital zoom. Those are postage stamp sized videos, but quality is decent.
The fixed-focus lens manages to keep things relatively sharp for both still shots and video, and as with most camera phones, the flash helps only when the subject is close. We always worry when a standard and extended battery come in the box. Yes, it's great to have them, but it sometimes indicates that battery life isn't very good.
Like the Samsung BlackJack which also comes with 2 batteries, and like the original Q, battery life isn't this smartphone's strong point.
However, it is better than the original Q and it's as good as the BlackJack's, if not a bit better. Our BlackJack required charging every other day with light use and the Q9 Global manages 3 days with the standard mAh Lithium Ion battery.
The mAh battery is the one to take on a business trip when you won't be near an AC outlet for a 12 hour day if you use the phone heavily and turn on MS Direct Push email. We like it, yes we do. The phone is smart looking, slim and packs quite a bit of power.
The keyboard is one of the best we've used, the camera is decent and HSDPA performance as well as call quality are excellent. We like that the extended battery is included in the box, and we're not too down on the Q9's battery life overall. We do wish the GPS was quicker to pick up satellites but once it's locked on, it did work well for us. Good voice dialing and mapped keyboard keys speed up access to commonly used applications.
Check it out. But if you want to keep. Sounds -Scroll right to select your new ringtone The following uses the above registry editor to make these changes. NOTE: This does open up the possibility of malware becoming installed on your phone, since the warning message will not appear to prompt you.

But they don't consume your usable space either, so you can simply remove their links from your Start Menu, they'll be out of your way. So after all of this is said and done what are the possibilities with the motoQ?
I do have the master pin number if thats what you call it. Its a six digit number right? Can anyone email me options. Thanks so much for your help. I appreciate the help. There is not much of a "cool" thing to do with the six digit master pin, other than programming your phone to use a different network like switch from Telus to Bell , provided that the other network operator is willing to activate your device on their network.
Is there any particular site where I can find information on doing things with the motoq? Going on another network doesn't interest me too much but finding out what I can do does. If I unlock like you tell here, this function will be used? Unlocking mentioned here will not change how your applications work, it will allow you to make changes to the locked portions of registry and also allow you to install self signed certificates and unsigned applications.
With that said, there might be a registry hack to enable the missing functionality. I suggest checking with your provider to see if there is a way to enable it.
The xml file in the cab is a Microsoft Provisioning xml file, simply copy the cab file to the device and run it, don't extract it. Doesnt work on Vista Hi, I'm also from Brazil It always stalls before completion, even when it is authorized and paired.
Though it can receive. Thanks Krassyus Monteiro. If the file transfer starts and works for a while, it is unlikely a restricted bluetooth stack, rather an issue with your desktop Bluetooth device. Did you check for latest Q updates, using Motorola Software Update available at www.
Are you able to transfer files to your PC with another device? I'm a little behind on technology so I'll attempt to ask my question hoping you can understand what I need. Thank you! Ciao, -Rena jirehfirm sbclgobal. Hi Rena, What I listed allows you to install third party applications. It has nothing to do with your Internet connection.
A common issue is that when programming the phone, some dealers do not properly setup MID. You can call Cricket and have them walk you through the programming. Scott, Did you try to contact Sprint to get your unlock code?
You can tell them your connection is not working or similar, ask them your unlock code. That's how I got mine for Telus, as my Internet connection was failing similar to Rena. Hi, Earlier this month I succeeded in enabling mobile web and picture messaging mms on my Motorola Q, with Cricket as my service provider.
I have posted images, and an initial writeup of the procedure over at howardforums, containing all the necessary info to duplicate my results. This is all punctuated by Cricket's very recent June 13, move to open-up their mobile web, and allow unrestricted access to the entire Internet. EVDO is the next big thing we're all waiting on. I was scammed on ebay, purchased a Q that is with Alltel, but I have Verizon, even though the phone was listed as Verizon. Can anyone tell me if I will be able to have the phone switched to Verizon?
If so what do I need to do? Any help would be greatly appreciated so I am not out the money. As you can see from the article and comments above, the procedure is not unlocking your phone to use another provider, rather allowing your phone to install any software. With that said, you'll need to get a hold of unlock code for your device from Alltel.
Then you can reprogram your Q and use it with Verizon. Sems: How do I go about obtaining an unlock code from Alltel? Is that something readily available to me, through what avenues? Thanks for the info, at least I know there is some string of hope. Technically, it is something available to you.
However, phone companies are known to make you jump through hoops. When I got my unlock code for my Telus Q, I was lucky. They didn't properly program the phone, so I had to call in, they walked me through steps to program it and to program it, you need your code. You'll have to call Alltel support, explaining your situation and hopefully they'll agree to release it to you.
If you have an unlock code for your Bell, it should. However, it is up to Telus whether or not allow you use a device from another carrier. I completed the above steps and still have issues with syncing my Groupwise 7 calendar. Any thoughts? I getting the follwoing error message Verify that AtiveSync is running. Sorry Pam, I have no experience with Groupwise. The application unlock for Q allows you to install unsigned applications, or applications signed by untrusted certificates.
It will not fix any sync issues you are having. With that said, have you checked with your Groupwise admin? Is it only Calendar failing I don't know what else you can sync with a Windows Mobile device and Groupwise , or the others, such as Contacts, etc failing too. Does anyone know how I can unlock a Motorola V I purchased from Cingular and the applications are locked and i cannot get to the settings to change the password.
I called Cingular and they said if the applications are locked I would have to send it back to Motorola. Does anyone know how I can unlock the applications to get to the settings. It is my phone and I let my daughter use it and some how she locked the applications and now does not know how or what she did to lock them.
I think she was trying to change her password and somehow entered it in the wrong spot and it thought she wanted applications locked.
This phone is not any good if we cannot get the applications unlocked. Do I have to send it to Motorola or is there a more simple way! Please help. CS if your daughter set a lock on the applications from the device you would need the code that she set to to unlock the applications.
Hey so i got this motorola Q from a friend who forgot his pswd but with Bell.. That will do the trick, wiping the device to factory defaults, getting rid of the device password. I was having alittle trouble with my blackjack. So I'm kinda stuck any help would be greatly apperciated, Thanks. Well I actually got it figured out I was extracting the file instead of just putting on my phone and running it that way stupid.
But I was wondering if it was possible to change the font style on my phone? Since I have unlocked it now. Technically, yes. You can install fonts to your device, then change the system font to your hearts desire. I don't recall the necessary registry keys for it, but little bit of Google can do wonders :.
I then changed the configuration of it to "Security Off" and then it installed the file onto my blackjack. However, when I try to edit some of the files like banner. Is this supposed to allow me that access?
Thanks, Jo. Jo, The application unlock allows you to access certain registry keys and also install unsigned applications. If the file is not in the ROM, try using a third party utility, like Total Commander and see if it can overwrite them.
The file attributes might be the cause of the problem. See my comment above yours Jake. Application unlocking allows you to access registry keys that you could not change before, many of which allows you to tweak your unit, such as speeding up display.
It also allows you to install unsigned applications, many small developers cannot afford expensive signing certifcates similar to SSL. If you don't application unlock, you won't be able to install any such apps there are many great ones. I have a Moto Q from Ampd Mobile who have just filed bankruptcy, just want to know if I would be able to use it with verizon, or will they allow me to use it on verizon? The above procedure is not for your needs Arielle. You'll need to get your unlock code from Ampd directly, which will enable you to use your phone with Verizon.
Aobrock, as I repeated in many comments above, the method discussed here is not for using your device on another network, it is simply to allow you to modify registry, along with installing unsigned apps. Thank you for your above advice on unlocking the moto q.
I was wondering if it's possible to acess wireless internet without having to go through your wireless carrier for the q? I have a metro pcs phone its the Kyocera Strobe, what information do I need to copy over?
Every provider has their own special codes to program phones. Telus uses telus to go into programming mode. Alright, so I downloaded everything, installed the.
Then I went into Security Configuration Manager then put the configuration type to security off. But when I try to send a picture of recieve one I still get the random phone number with no attachment. I'm with telus. Any help would be great. Hi Danny, Care to elaborate? How are you trying to send the picture? As MMS?
