Motorola XPRT :: Shortcut's Popping Up During Texts?
Sep 27, 2011
So when I'm texting on this phone, sometimes the shortcuts will randomly pop up, like if I hit the "L" key the calendar will pop up. It's odd because I'm in the text message app, or it happens if I have to type something in Browser. This only happens on occassion. I know it has something to do with the shortcut feature, but I should have to hit another button before they actually pop up.
am currently looking at buying a XPRT and making the switch from BB.I am currently a BB Curve user on the Sprint network. I tried a non-BB phone and got the Android Samsung Intercept about a year ago and HATED it. After a month or two of using it, it became obvious to me that 1- I needed a physical keypad (without sliding) like the BB model. 2- I hated the dialing on the touchscreen phone. Most notably I missed the "quick dial shortcut" feature on the BBWhen I see screen shots of the XPRT, it doesn't look like you can dial on the keypad (albeit small, BB has the 1-9 keypad on the left side of the QWERTY board). Not a huge thing if not.
But what is huge is having the ability to assign "shortcuts" to the keypad for dialing. In other words, for example, can I press and hold the "D" key on the keypad and it calls whoever I assign to the "D" key?If the phone itself doesn't offer this function, is there an App for it?
Is there a way to adjust/add to the auto-correct dictionary for the physical keyboard of the XPRT? On my SOLD BB9650, this was done the first time I picked up the phone. Now, I can't. This phone (while waiting for Gingerbread), would be THE BEST, if it could fix this little problem...
What are the plans for future software updates for XPRT?Is Gingerbread going to be the last one? Any chance for 4.x?Because, see, as of today XPRT is lagging behind for like a year on Android updates.It was released (June 6, 2011) with outdated FroYo (released May 20, 2010).Now, if stars align, we'll get GB 2.3.5 update (released July 25, 2011) hopefully in August '12.And that also means that phone that's been out only for a year is already 2 major Android versions behind current one.
I can't seem to get my phone to vibrate. I set to "vibrate when in silent mode", then set to silent mode, but no vibration. I have also set vibration to "alwasy" but still nothing.
Has anybody else noticed that the Razr Maxx wont separate the texts into multiple texts if you go over 160? I didnt notice it until I did it the other night, and got a sending error. I could have sworn in the past there was an option for this.
Is text messaging. If I try to send an outgoing text at the same time that one is incoming it will not send the outgoing message. It will struggle for about 30 seconds to 1 minute (or even more) and eventually time out with a 'text was not sent' error message. For someone like me who sends thousands of texts a month it's the most annoying thing ever! Other phones do not have this problem.
Also the time stamp for texts does not work if the phone is powered off. For example: I turn my phone off at midnight and someone sends me a text at 1:00 AM. I turn my phone back on at 8AM. The text arrives but does not have the correct time stamp as being sent at 1:00 AM. It will be shown as 8AM. So I have no idea what time the message was actually sent. Once again other phones I have used did not have this problem.
I have tried different music players, headphones, aux cables etc. I have tried turning off all other apps. Still no matter what I do I get audio pops and crackles quite often listening to music. Its not constant but very noticeable and might be a deal breaker for me. I love this phone otherwise, has anyone else noticed this or have a solution?
Wondering if anyone has tested out Music to see if 2.1 fixed the Awful Crackling and popping sounds sometimes heard when listening to music on the Milestone?
While using Netflix i get a weird popping/crackling sound. No matter which show/movie is playing. Also, what the hell is the grill above the camera? speaker? just for looks? heat vent?
I HAVE BOUGHT A MOTORLA XPRT A MONTH AGO AND I ADDED THE 3G MOBILE HOTSPOT TO IT A WEEK LATER. FOR A WEEK MY PHONE WAS DOING FINE AND THEN WHEN I USE THE 3G MOBILE HOTSPOT I KEEP MY PHONE PLUGGED IN AND THE BATTERY SAYS IT IS CHARGING BUT IT IS DOING THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE AND GOING DEAD. MY PHONE KEEPS TURNING OFF IN 4-5 HOURS AND IT IS SAYING IT IS DEAD. AND ALSO MY PHONE GETS HOT AT THE TOP OF THE PHONE, THE BOTTOM OF THE PHONE STAYS COOL.
Does the XPRT phone need to be activated by Sprint to get a HEX MEID? I have been using the XPRT off Sprint's network since purchase. It doesn't appear that I can activate the device from Sprint Zone while not on their network. Can I phone them to activate the XPRT?
When I am in camera or video mode my screen is black. When I hit the shutter button there is no sound and it goes away. On video I get the same screen but do get the sound when I try to record. There is no picture on either screen and the flash does not go off .
I prefer to use Wifi when I am at home. I'm showing as connected to wifi, but the 3g icon never turns off. Also, the 3g icon shows traffic. I just want to use wifi for all data. Not 3g.
I have a completely stock Moto XPRT running 4.1.15.MB612. When I select to check for updates, it says 4.1.110.MB612 is available so I click to download. I'm on wifi so thankfully it's not too slow. The phone reboots, shows the Android guy doing his thing then quickly boots back in to Android before eventually popping up with the error "failed to update". So I lurked the forums and see to hold the @ symbol down when in recovery and do so, here's what pops up.
I have at least 6 XPRT's in my company that users are complaining they turn on by themselves in the middle of the night. This started happening after the Gingerbread update and has happened on phones that I've done a factory reset on. I've had them remove them from the cases to make sure they are pressing on the power button but the problem persists. I've seen some posts from Droid users having had the same problem and one XPRT user on the Sprint forums.
Could it be an app that get's installed. I've confirmed they are shutting them off and not just putting them in "low power" mode.
at one time i used find a feature on my MOTOROLA XPRT that said PHONE CALLS ONLY which i took as only the number in my contact would be able to call and text me. Can someone tell me where and if my phone does offer that feature?

Currently I'm living in the Netherlands and I own a Motorola XPRT that I bought at Sprint in the US.I'm trying to update my phone to 4.1.110.en.US, the firmware does download, asks me to install.I accept offcourse, the phone reboots, tries to flash new firmware, suddently stops and reboots again and after the phone is fully booted there is a message displayed that says that the update has failed.I already did a factory reset and a hard reset.
i have bought motorola xpert since last week my phine was doing fine then when i use 3 G mobile hotspot i keep my phone plugged in and the battery says it is charging but it is doing complete opposite and going dead. and phone keeps turning off in 4 to 5 hours.
Can anyone explain how to get contacts from a non-Motorola phone into the XPRT so that they show up when the blue contacts button is selected and appear in the phone's phone book, as well as FB, Twitter? When my daughter first started up the phone they were there, but then disappeared and are now not showing the FB and Twitter contacts. Based on other similar questions, it appears that this is a reoccuring issue that hopefully Motorola has addressed.
Yesterday I experienced a random reboot while I was in the middle of a phone call. Anyone else have this problem? I've had this phone for about a year now, and it hasn't ever done that. No apps were running in background either.
Has anyone else experienced a solid red LED light of late? It's a faint red, plugged in it's brighter. Turn the phone off, light stays on. I have not added any applications either. It's been going on for the past 2-3 days.
