SO has anyone had a success with the v600 on answering incoming calls because no matter what i try it still drops 90% off my icoming calls i love the phone but i am getting angry with this crap already. So what phone from motorola works i guess none from motorola So what is everone using for the tl

 

I had(have) a V-600 and finally gave up too. I had the dropped call issue, and even cutting out while making a call...it wouldn't drop the call..but the voice would cutout and drove me crazy. Unless I had almost 4-5 bars of signal strength, and phone was unreliable. I purchased a Razr last week, and it's fantastic. Before with either the V-600 or a SE610, I couldn't make calls from the basement of my Mom's house. The Razr works perfectly anywhere in the basement, and has none of the cutout or dropped call issues of the V-600. I don't know how it can work so well, considering it's got an internal antenna, but it does. The phone is very expensive, but worth every penny IMHO....for styling, reception, and build quality. It's something you have to hold to appreciate...the construction is like a Rolex watch....perfectly finished case, smooth edges, and just plain fine workmanship. The parts fit together like nothing I've ever seen in a cellphone before. No plastic, even the window on the cover is glass. It pairs perfectly with my TL, but like all Motorola phones, doesn't display battery strength...not really an issue, since I keep it on the charger in the car anyway.

 

NJ and PA are notorious for bad GSM reception regardless who your provider is. If you were in NY/CA/TX/CO , you would have no problems making/receiving calls.

 

hey jet rock does it work well in the tl ? i really want a phone to work well with this car

 

I had the same problem with my V600. I found that if you leave the clamshell closed when trying to recieve calls with the handsfreelink, it would usually send the calls to the handset itself. When I started to leave the clamshell open, It works properly 95% of the time.

I have been using the V600 with my TL for quite a while now with no issues. Initially I had all the issue sthat you have escribed with incoming calls. After I flashed the phone with software version 44R that I got off http://v600.cjb.net/ I have had no issues with the phone...

 

What software version are you using?

You can hit *#9999# and it brings up the software version for the phone.
Its the information that says TRIPLETS.

I had started out with 9.3AR.

It sucked. It dropped alot of calls. And the battery meter was all wacked out.

Since then, I have flashed 9.4AR and it works like a charm. No more dropped calls and the battery meter seems to be working correctly. However the battery life does not show on the HFL.

Check Howardforums on how to flash your phone. Or ask me, I can help.

Hope this helps.
