A couple of V180 questions

I have an AT&T subsidized V180. I've mislayed or lost the user manual.
Phonescoop, howardforums & Moto's site don't seem to have the info I'm
looking for. So, maybe someone here knows what I need to know.

1) Are settings, phonebook entries (stored to phone), etc. stored in non
volatile memory, so that draining the battery before recharging the battery
won't lose them? If not, how low can I go on the battery meter without
losing them? Even though the battery is not nicad, I'm told that all
batteries have at least a slight amount of recharge "memory" & need to be
drained as completely as possible, on occassion, so that the battery can be
charged as fully as possible.

2) Does the messaging menu memory meter indicate space used or space
available?

TIA

Got it. Thanks. Unfortunately, it's sufficiently generic that my questions
still are unanswered.

1. Yes they ARE store in non volatile memory and are safe if you drain
your battery and then recharge.

2. Indicates Space Used

Hope this helps.

Hi:

I also have a few questions that the manual can not answer. V180

1. The datebook application only shows a 4 or 6 hour block of time during
a
particular day and there are no key functions to show other hours during
the
day. For instance if I have the software display 7 am, only the first few
hours are shown. An event scheduled for 4pm would not show up. In order
to
see anything after 12 pm or so I have to reset the time from 7 to
something
later in the day.

2. Are there any apps available for cell phones such as a notebook or
more
robust address book? Seems that most of the apps are games.

Thank you.

Bob

Super! I just didn't want to do something that drastic only to regret it.

> 2. Indicates Space Used

That's what I figured. But, since every phone is a little different in how
much memory they have & how they display what's been used or what's
available, I wanted to be sure I didn't do something stupid based on a
wrong assumption.

> Hope this helps.

It does. It'd be nice if there was a site that dealt with these kinds of
things. But I guess there are too many different phones to make that an
easy task. And too many variations of the same phone when dealing with
carrier specific features.

Anyway, thanks, Dave.

I just recently received my V188 from T-Mobile and I find it really annoying that it constantly reminds me that my text messages are full. Is there a way that I can increase the amount of text messages it can hold (currently about 35 in both inbox and outbox) or that they can automatically override and delete old text messages as new ones arrive? Thanks.
