Talk:Motorola SLVR L7

Untitled

For reference, I obtained a lot of the specifications I included from [1], just wondering if I should link to there in the external links? Trust 20:51, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

picture description in main article

the descriptions compares the 'width' of the phone to that of a zippo lighter. the zippo is shown end-on (width and thickness visible) and the phone is shown side-on (length and thickness visible).

Airplane mode

The L7 airplane mode does not exist on international versions of the phone. Hearsay the Cingular L7 does support it. Can anyone verify this? Ming2020 06:56, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

I have an L7 from Cingular in New Jersey and it does have airplane mode. 68.36.254.25 03:33, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Same reports here - I've got one from Cricket in Oregon and it has airplane mode (not that it terribly matters, since I won't likely have it on while I'm on an airplane anyway...) 71.111.74.74 10:23, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

SLVR iTunes

I added some information regarding cracked versions of iTunes for the phone. Ioeth 23:29, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi i would like to know if it is possible to change my motorala L7'S camera to longer recording time & better clarity

Umm, the iTunes is bundled only in the US edition. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 08:13, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Memory?

I have the SLVR L7c that I just purchased today -- the page here says that it only has 11M of memory? That's odd, because mine claims to have 36M (35,504kB) of memory, with 26,716kB free. 71.111.74.74 10:23, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

No Voice Memo

The L7 doesn't have any kind of voice memo. You can do voice names where you say the name of the person you're calling, but no voice memo unfortunetly. I have the thing.

Ambiguous - Limit or no limit w/o iTunes?

"Alternately, songs may also be loaded via an alternate interface application (such as MotoTunes) or directly to the microSD card." That does not answer the question of whether the 100 song limit is solely due to iTunes or the phone itself. Can you or can you not bypass the limit by directly manipulating the SD card? If so, the whole section about the limit should be reworded to specify that only iTunes users are affected. MrZaius^talk 22:54, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

The standard version of iTunes on the phone has a built-in 100 song limit, which you can see in the "About" section of the menu. This limitation has nothing to do with the size of the MicroSD card used in the phone. A cracked version will either expand or remove this limit. As with all storage devices, memory can be a limiting factor as well; depending on the encoding quality or size of the songs loaded to the phone, all available memory could be used before reaching the programmed limit.

SD memory limitations

I rescently bought a 2G micro sd because I had discovered that it is easy to upload mp3s to the slvr by connecting it to my computer, opening "my computer" and opening the files of the sd card from there as it appears as a drive of it's own. The reason I wanted more space is because I have audio books in mp3 format that I want to listen to and I like keeping variety on me at all times. However, There is a problem with the phone accepting such a card. it says it can't format the card to the phone and this is not the same as a FAT or FAT32 format that's required. I looked online for a solution and found everything regarding s2k and reprograming the slvr, but nothing that says it will directly format the card to make my phone read it. I don't even want Itunes on this card, I just need the mp3's to be read from it one at a time. I found a few sites that did mention a few tricks to get a 1G micro sd to work if you repeatedly hit "try again" on it. I got mine to do something in this way, but it eventually just shut off it's power. Anyway, I think someone should research this stuff to verify and post some of this info about the sd size limit on the main article so that people get to know exactly what a piece of crap this phone, and every other itunes poisoned phone is.

Discontinued

The GSM version of this phone is no longer being replaced by Motorola. If your L7 breaks they will offer you a RAZR or ROKR. This phone was featured packed and will be missed (like the e815). Killer Swath (talk) 04:13, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Release date?

When was this phone first released? Would be good to add that to the article.--Brian Fenton (talk) 13:09, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
