1. Comment - Verizon's VCast Disables MP3 Playback

   I've been using the V06 software for a couple of days now on the VX8100. It's a really really easy fix to enable the MP3 player, just a few clicks into the service menu to enable it. Christ, I could show my grandma how to do it. The phone now runs with both the Verizon MOD and the MP3 player together. There are now two seperate folders on the MiniSD card, one for the Verizon MOD and the other for the MP3 Player. When I use the front buttons on the phone, I can choose whether the MP3 player or the MOD player will come up.
   
   I really can't understand why they would tell their customers to downgrade back to V04 just to use the MP3 player when it can exist side by side with their new MOD service.
   
   Edit:
   BTW, for those who do have the latest V06 for the VX8100, here's how to get the MP3 player back up and running: After upgrading to V06, to enter the service menu. Press "Menu" then 0. A prompt asking for the service code should pop up. It should default to 00000 (so press 0 six times). Scroll down to the last entry on the Service menu, to "Music Setting". This is where you can enable the MP3 Function. Once enabled, you can find it under "Tunes and Tones" as option number 8. Now, with the V06 upgrade, the front buttons on the phone will default to the new VCast music player. However, you can change it back to the MP3 player by going to "Tools" and then "Shortcut Key" and set the Play Key to the MP3 player instead of VCast Music.
   
   Your VX8100 should now play MP3s just as it did in V04!
