Motorola Krave ZN4 QWERTY-Texting Messaging Tips

[DRoccJelly]

why does you keypad look so different?

[ArsenaIGunners]

i got rid of my krave it was byy farr the WORST phone ever, ever since i threw it away all i have is keyboard phones

[Taylor13rocks]

ur boring!

[narutofanman89]

I use the tip at :49 and i have no problem with texting. The new update makes it even better !

[zackula1]

i love that you did this vid. I have this phone and it's been PISSING ME OFF that i've not been able to type using the qwerty keyboard on it. I also didn't know the button part with the volume control. I think I'll try the 90degree angle tip, it looks most natural, but I'd've never thought of it.

[dradfromthebu]

I now use the technique of putting the index finger over the flip. It gives my thumb a wider range of movement, THANKS!!!!

[maddumbyo]

i lie the left index over the flap..lol it looks the most reasonable..lol

[soccerkid112233]

i like 0:40. Thx really helps

[brianpomona18]

You have beautiful hands.

[Soljaz0111]

hey thanks, you got me slightly flipping the top half and it makes a huge difference

[OutbackJack9]

no problem, glad to help!

[VitesseX]

ok um i dont mean to be mean, im usually not, its nice you tried, but that was a horrible video for txting. people do not use pens for iphone they dont work well at all its almost impossible and well its really bad for scratching your screen. that flip is annoying but most people want to text at decent speeds. once again not trying to be mean or tear your video apart but thumbs are only way to go. solution? make a new crave where the flip has a slide clip type release to fold all the way to back

[OutbackJack9]

um, then why comment? i put these here for people to learn more about the phone. you can choose not to watch them, I am not a professional, and the majority of people value the videos i post. People do use pens, that's why they sell them. The screen is glass, it does not scratch easily.

[VitesseX]

because people don't need to be thinking that they can use a stylus with the iphone. and with how long it took to type all those ways you showed. well txting would be useless. i said i wasnt trying to be mean just be realistic. could you show us typing on it fast maybe? see how it keeps up?

[MindVentriloquism]

Is there a way to calibrate or lessen the sensitivity of the touch screen?

[OutbackJack9]

well, yes & no. calibration: this is a cap touch screen not resistive. when you turn on the phone or open/close the flip, it recalibrates- just make sure you are not touching it during these times. sensitivity: no, there is no adjustment- like iphone, cap touch doesn't need a direct press on the screen like resistive touch.

[Eink5]

i like the ideas, nice job!

[grimsdyke]

I have problems with mine punching in letters that I didn't hit. And sometimes I have to jam a button to get it to work. Anybody experience these issues too?

[CardMagic12345]

You can't use capital letters when the phone is sideways..... or is just me?

[OutbackJack9]

caps work fine when the phone is sideways- press the 'up' arrow below the 'a' key once for a single upper case, or press the up arrow twice to lock cap locks on

[CardMagic12345]

I know where the caps button is, yet the letters never come out capital, even if do caps lock.

[OutbackJack9]

i dunno, works fine for me. send/pst a video if you can. also make sure you are on the latest software in the phone, see my vid on how 2 check that

[HelloxHixWatsup]

i like the idea of the 5th one

[SuperDuperTmp]

Great job on the video and the tips!!!

[snazzybrookecheeto]

can you text with the flip closed?

[OutbackJack9]

no, the earpiece would be in the way so the only two ways are flip open with the regular keypad (0-9 keys) or in landscape with the qwerty

[DiamondsAreLove]

i hate flip phones. my friend just got this phone. bleh.

[KobeIsABeastLAL24]

i like tips no. 5 cuz i never thought about that and it will help if i pick this phone between xv6900, krave, or glyde!

[camkarnor]

DO NOT GO WITH THE GLYDE!!!

i and a few of my friends have this phone and it is terrible! great idea bcuz of the keyboard AND touchscreen but the touchscreen is terrible! it does not work half the time! i kno so many ppl that have gotten new phones bcuz of it! as a matter of fact i am about to and i was actually choosing between the xv6900 and the krave. unless u r buying a phone to use for work or business reasons, go with the Krave!

[MakeMeAGee]

wat about if just txting or sumthin..

wat should i get?!?

i can only get the xv6900 in the internet cuz the verizon dont make it nomore..

and i dont wanna wait for lyk a week..

and the krave is just waiting in the store..

wat should i get?

[Pacpro97]

omg i wanted the glyde really bad but they stopped selling it so i got the krave instead and its pretty good but its hard to text cuz the screen is really sensitive

[OutbackJack9]

the touch screen on the krave is like the iphone- it senses your finger without needing to press on the screen, some like it some don't

[pga2398]

u said the same thing 3 times!!!!!

[guitardude28]

I just found this out tonight. When you using the Qwerty keyboard....if you hit the up arrow (for caps) You get one capital and then it goes back to lowercase. If you tap it twice (the up arrow) they stay in caps. I really glad I figured that out...it helps. Hope it helps others. *outbackjack9* thought you would like to know since you have done some good video footage on the KRAVE.

[OutbackJack9]

ya, looks like they changed that one with the new 28.02p software update. thanks for the tip! please post any others you find!!

[b22chris]

thanks i didnt know u could use the volume rocker

[paulroxs]

nice vid. i think it is clever to put the index finger over the flap and type with ur thumbs

[mawat67]

These are awesome tips. I might have figured these out eventually, but it was nice to know them now. Thank you.

[VictorThai]

the 90 degree one is clever and it helps a whole lot

thanks

[zombiemuffin007]

you should be able to txt with the covr down... then you it be easier to txt in class

[jeradbressler1212]

i find it is faster to type normally. Not qwerty, but either abc or iTap.

[mrvapor22]

once again, you can easily get caught texting in class just like the storm. i dont want this one either, but it has a nice design flow to it

[tastykewigloss]

thanks :)
