Well, I have a VX8600 with Verizon. And many people maybe know how to get into the service menu of their phone. By dialing #7764726, and entering 000000. (some may need to dail #7764726 + their model number, i.e. #77647268600)(others can just hit the menu button, and hit 0, then enter in 000000)
This service menu can do a lot of things, such as testing the motor, battery, screen settings, and much more.
One of the best things things that can be done in this menu is convserve the battery life. In the service menu, select Network Select > Mode Preference > 1X Only. This makes my phone only search for the 1X signal. Which is for txting and calling. I don't need the EVDO singal, because I won't be surfing the web. This gives me about 50% maybe 60% more battery life.
There are other options that might be worth changing in this menu.
