2. I use time warner cable for email address...when im connected to the cdma verizon web i can recieve emails but not send out. If i connect to a wifi i can do both...any way to send/recieve off the verizon cdma net connection?

thanks
1.) For the sound fix, try this registry hack:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\Dialing
-> Change the value for the Sound string to *none*

if that Sound hack doesn't work and it changes the registry entry back to the original value, try this one:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\InC all2
• Change String/Value InitVol to 0


2.) For the email problem, set your SMTP server to Verizon's Outgoing SMTP address:

smtp.vzwmail.net


But you will need a Verizon SMTP account, which is free. Instructions are here for setting that up if you don't have one:

Hope these help!
