    i just got my 8130 about 2 weeks ago. for the past 3 or 4 nights i have had an issue with the voice dialing starting to initialize all by itself while i am sleeping. it just gets stuck on the initializing screen without actully getting to the point where you need to say a command. it seems that it get stuck running for a while as it drains my battery by morning. the only thing different that i do at ngiht is switch my profile to quiet. the only way to clear it is to remove the battery. very frustrating.

    any suggestions on how to fix this???

    Do you use voice dialing normally? If not you can remove it from your device - it will solve your problem and free up a bunch of memory.

    To remove it, you need to have Desktop Manager installed on your PC and your device's OS also installed on your PC.

    You can follow the full instructions here:

    Things such as that (voice dialing) can always be added back in by just selecting the check box to add it back - correct?
    I saw a post where someone had removed their tasks and memos since they never used them. They can always be brought back later - correct?
    I had a Bberry over a year ago and had a Treo for the last year. This type of optimization is not possible with a Treo. You can't mess with the OS.
    I don't have much desire to use voice dialing and, as you say, assume it takes up a fair amount of space. How much does one get back after removing that feature?
    Then again when I get my Plantronics 655 or whatever it is maybe I will add it back in and use - but I doubt it...

    Yeah - I may like it once I get a headset. It was not an option with a Treo. I rarely used it with my dumbphone so I'm not so sure I wouldn't rather free up the memory. If it doesn't gain a whole lot back I'll probably leave well enough alone.

    I ran the app loader and did not see an option to remove the voice dialing. I also did the Options-> Applications (or whatever) and did not even see voice dialing as a possibility to delete.
    So, IF, I were so inclined to remove this from my phone how do I do it?

    You would do it by following the link in the post I posted above.... you won't see a specific checkbox to remove it (and yes, it can be readded later if you want). You have to rename some files on your PC....follow the link.

    Ah - I missed that above. I looked at all that was involved and think I may hold off for now. My luck I'll have a paperweight.
    Or I'll wait until Sprint releases the next update and maybe do it then.
    Thanks for the help.
