Me and My 9000

[YPG]

So after the heart-breaking loss of My beloved 7500, I sit holding My brand new 9000 in My hands.
But alas! While LL did include a data cable, it did not include a user's manual so I am once again at a loss especially with all these new great things I can do with this phone can do.
So this evening I will be sitting in front of this wonderful super computer that could do all of these wonderful things if you all would kindly share with Me what it is I can actually do with My phone. :)

[EDGE23]

well,, tell us what you want to do first.. jejeej but ill throw some random stuff. change the led color, mmm.. watch movies, videos, music on your memory card

[VibrantRedGT]

Go to Sprint.com and sign in. It will show a picture of your phone. Right next to the picture is a link that says "User's Guide". Click on that and viola your manual is now online.

[YPG]

gosh anything I can
especially whatever I can do with that data cable ;)
I only have the stupid 16mb card that came with it right now but I'm working on getting a bigger one
but yeah, music, movies and video sounds good to start. :)

[Sprint Know It All]

search the sanyo forum and FAQ forum for 9000 details...

[ScrewDaShack]

the "me and my 9000" thread title gave me the idea lol. Too pimp, i tell ya LOL

[Jonathanlc2005]

nice, but its to dark to see whats on the screen. it looks like a chick laying on her back

[EDGE23]

ok, i have my phone next to me and im bored. so ill mentiong some features, CALL SCREEN. tells the person who is calling to leave you a mssg which you can hear but the caller cant. you can also place a call on hold, edit pictures from your phone, thats right from you phone. you can choose your power up and power off thone. if you choose to save your videos in your card then you will be able to record more than 30 sec.(haha, take that stupid 920). you can create playlist in your card, that way your music will be well organized. creat folder for your txt msgs, save 4 different camera settings. and that little buttom next to camera lens is for when you want to take closer pics.. like if you want to take a pic of your finger and it will come out blury, if you push the buttom up the camer will focus and your pic will be clear. a little feature i like, if you keep the volume key push in while your phone is close the flash will light up, if you release it will stay on for like 15 seconds. also our phones have voice recorder, which you can play throught the speaker. one other feature i like is the FOUND ME feature. im not sure how this works but i think you enter your a code of your choice and if you loose your phone you can text or email the code to your phone and it will erase everything or lock your phone. anyways i think you will find some more interesting things on the online manual.

[EDGE23]

i cant see s#%^, except for the jack daniel bottle on the back :clap:

[VibrantRedGT]

Yea, so what's on the screen? Is it cold out? It was 91 degrees here today. The JD bottle is full. What's up with that?

[ScrewDaShack]

hell yea, im a JD/Everclear guy. I actually tilted the screen that way on purpose, she doesnt like her pic online lol

[ScrewDaShack]

new bottle : )

[Agent-G]

hell yea, im a JD/Everclear guy. I actually tilted the screen that way on purpose, she doesnt like her pic online lol

Yeah, or else I could of blown up that tiny pic and put fake boobies on her!

[ScrewDaShack]

i know it sounds retarded but its one of those things that REALLY bugs her so i honor the request to keep her happy

[josh33_unc]

notice how 90% of us in this thread are all radioshack workers. all the RS employee plan too. goes to show what phone the ppl who sell the phones pick to be their own personal one.

[james2K]

I sold two 9000's to a guy who had a $125 deposit/line...total that day was $800 or so...

Walked in dead set on two a900's>walks out w/ 2 9000's after the J2K treatment. LOL

BTW I don't work at radioshack but may have to soon...

[Tigrrre]

shackies lol...

i need to get my hands on a 9000

i have a question though...does the 9000 suffer from the 1x/EV bouncing problem?

[josh33_unc]

*still blinking from flashlight* i knew the 83 had this, but not the 9k , just got mine saturday, after havin a a920 since dec. ok edit pics? whats that all about?

[james2K]

I've only noticed the bouncing when in a fringe ev-do area...it's prolly a problem with most pv phones...i just lock it to 1X when I get in that situation

[Tigrrre]

dont think i live in a fringe area...a900 does this all the time (thank god for EVDO only mode)

[james2K]

when i had the a920 it did that at home where I get 6 bars of evdo...it was annoying

[Tigrrre]

lol....

i want this phone now...ill have to stop by fry's on my way home today.

[EDGE23]

ok, set your camera to good resolution, take pic, save to phone, click next, then go to details/edit, then special effects, and last composite, it will give you the choice of vertical or horizontal,, pick one of those 2, and it will direct you to you phone album, choose a pic of your choice and you will see for yourself,, i think there was another thread about this.

[josh33_unc]

resolution settings r 1.3, med and low

[josh33_unc]

you can create playlist in your card, that way your music will be well organized.


i can create folders on my a920 on the computer for the memory card, like movies, shows, dvds, and rock country comedy subfolders for each music and movies. is this the same?

[ScrewDaShack]

lol im working now. My best was a new customer 4 line deal, all 9000's : ) After chargers and what not i ended up about 2500.00 and 3xx.xx in spiffs

[YPG]

okay yay
I know how to use My flashlight again!
and I got a whole three songs on My card, lol
working on ringtones now

[EDGE23]

:) my bad,, i did mess up, resolution should be medium, and yes, i did mean subfolders i just like call them playlist :)

[josh33_unc]

[josh33_unc]

it worked for my vm4500 and 8300, and 9k also, probly all sanyos, but good to see ur learnin, lol

think it mighta worked for a920, when u call cust svc on a920, it has all ur info on the screen, software and hardware version and vision name and the whole shebang

[EDGE23]

yeah, i remember that when i used to have my 920, but i never figured out how to see the time, on my previous crapsumg phones(680 and 700) the time was displyed on the external lcd while i wan on the phone.

[Tigrrre]

crapsung* ;)

lol...

[YPG]

you know what sucks?
a 16mb card comes with the 9000 but a 32mb card comes with the 920

[Tigrrre]

haha...yeah...i noticed that.

enticement to buy a bigger card i guess

[EDGE23]

you know what sucks?
a 16mb card comes with the 9000 but a 32mb card comes with the 920
yes, that totally sucks, but it didnt matter much cuz i bought a 1GB,, but it would be nice to have 32mb instead of a 16mb to save pics and videos of my gf, :hee:

[Tigrrre]

i guess they learned from sammy's mistake..

i always got along just fine w the 32mb TF card, never had to buy a bigger one.

[EDGE23]

ok, now,, songs can not be deleted from my phone, unless i format the miniSD. is that right?

[Tigrrre]

no...you can delete them thru mass storage.

[YPG]

I miss the 70mb internal storage of My 7500

[MizzSprintPCS]

:cool: i just recently upgraded from the 8300 and man this thing ROCKS!! :headbang2 . latley i have been messing around with some of the cool things on it and i found out that when i try to edit a pic i got off the internet i can change the color tone and all that but when i try to save it it just goes back to main screen and doesn't save the pic :scratch: . and also with the EV-Do jumping thing my reception sometimes will change very rapidly and go to EV-Do mode is there a way to stop this because it is plenty fine in normal mode. By the way i was somewhere where the EV-DO reception was good and this thing litteraly flies across the internet. If anybody could help me that would be very nice. I LOVE THIS PHONE

[Sirlawrence]

I bought my phone last week and I like it a lot! Although my voice command calling once setup on my SCP5500 was/is quicker!
I just ordered a 2gb card from zipzoomfly.
What is opera mini and how do I implement it? Thanks!

I, like pacman, would love to be able to get images off the internet. You say "when I try and edit a pic I got off the internet" are you saying you could save pics to your phone if you didn't try to edit them or what? Let me just say I would love to able to save pix from the internet, and also be able to send these images, if anyone knows of a way to accomplish this, I'm all ears......

[KAT]

no...you can delete them thru mass storage.
Can you elaborate on this? I'm using a PC with I Tunes, don't want to format the card, just want to be able to remove certain songs from the playlist.

[YPG]

Hmmm, problems with My 9000.
Keeps getting very hot and then shutting down.
Thought it was a fluke but I suppose I shall have to take it in.
Lets see if I can get them to just swap it out for a 7500...

[skierpage]

I wish the browser (built-in or Opera minibrowser) had an option for any link to save it to the MiniSD card. Then you'd just save to the MEDIA folder, leave the browser, navigate to the folder, and play it in Media Player

Regular browsers have a "Save Link As...", this phone has storage, so add the feature!

Are there Java apps that can do things like that on the MM-9000.

I guess at some point you give up and get a PDA phone. :lol:

[skierpage]

"The coolest new feature, in my opinion, is download functionality, which means that you can download files to your phone using Opera Mini!"
Opera Mini 2 browser, "coming later this month!"

http://my.opera.com/eskils/blog/show.dml/211936

This could hurt Sprint Music and Video. Just go to a Web site optimized for mobile, find .mp3's and .m4a's, download them to your 2GB miniSD card and play. Good riddance to Sprint's overpriced services.

[Jonathanlc2005]

i didnt realize that. now im gunna try it. im probably the only person on here that has a 512. but i have it because music changes every month and thats why i have my sirius. my favorite channel is 36 the beat and plays everything i need. allthough i do have so far 60 songs on that card.

[Jonathanlc2005]

but what i love even more about this phone is making my own ringtones. never was able to do that before

[PhoneJunkie]

I want a 9000 soooo bad. I hope they are still available June 1st when I am eligible for a rebate. I have been look on the radioshack website for one but it seems that they took it off. I am hoping the are not sold out.

[josh33_unc]

yeah the 170-2668 got taken off, discoed stuff dont usually last long on the site. fry's would be the route to go

[PhoneJunkie]

yeah but the Sanyo 7500 isn't on there either. Thats not discontinued unless they never sold it.

[josh33_unc]

we at the shack were told we would be the first to carry the 75 a few months ago. it never made it to our catalog system list of skus, so no, the shack never sold the 7500.

Wonder if someone knows about this.... I have the turbo button on and would like to be able to hit the button on the headset and say "contact Steve" with out having to open the phone to do it. This kind of destroys the purpose of it doesn't it? With my old phone I could hit the headset button and make a call without ever touching the phone, I just left it in the holster. Is there a way around this or is this just the way it is?

Not really sure why you're having this problem. My 9000 behaves exactly as you describe.

:thought:

Are you using the headset that came with the phone, or some other one? If it isn't the one that came with the phone, there might be some compatability issues.

I dunno...I have turbo button on for voice calls and the voice prompt comes on with the turbo button while using an aftermarket headset (Bitalk Handsfree).

Here's what I do: Hold turbo button for 2 sec. to "wake" phone out of sleep mode. Then press again and the voice prompt comes on and I can say "Contact Joe Blow" and it dials.

Voice prompt? I get a "Boink" kind of sound that prompts me to contact whoever, but only get this sound with phone open. I tried holding the button down for 2,3 seconds, and hit it again, with phone closed, still no luck. I'm also using the stock earbuds that comes with the phone. Where is this voice prompt, in settings some where? Maybe that's what I need.

That may be the case, but I haven't tried it to see if that will fix the problem.

If you haven't found the setting yet, it's under:

Menu->Settings->Sounds->Others->Voice Prompt

You may also want to check:

Menu->Settings->Others->Headset Mode->Turbo Button

to ensure that the turbo button is set for Voice Calls, and not ReadyLink, or Off.

Alas I must leave you all now for I am once again the proud owner of a MM7500!
After a long hard 2 month journey of three insurance replacement 9000's that kept over-heating, resetting, buttons not working, picture mail and calls not coming through etc, I finally got it replaced with a brand spanking new 7500!
Yay!!! I am happy again! :)
I must say the 9000 was a nice phone, I miss the screen already, it just wasn't what I wanted.

[sweetlady314]

i just got my 9000 this past Saturday and so far I'm loving it. I had the 920 but I missed readylink and the Sanyo features Samsung doesn't have.
