Pantech Jest Internet issue
I have the Pantech Jest, have for about a year. I never really have issues with it. I know its not a smart phone so theres not much you can do on the internet. theres not much i look to do except check my email and facebook. Its been working fine with those until recently. In the last week or so when im on facebook and i click the link 'See More Posts' on my news feed, a message comes up and says unsupported content. Now, starting last night, when i try to ge tonto facebook at all it says unsupported content. does anyone know why thats happening? i dont get it. its worked just fine. now what do i do?
Good morning KayH.
I know not being able to use your phone how you're use to, or supposed to be able to can be very frustrating. Have you tried removing the battery from the phone for about 20 seconds? You can also try clearing the temporary Internet files, as the phone may have a lot of memory/ usage with the applications used, such as Facebook, e-mails, etc. For steps to clear the temporary Internet files, please select the following link: Clear Temporary Internet Files
If this does not help, please send me a Private Message and I will be happy to personally assist you!
Thank you,

I will never understand why the last few phones I have purchased come with a 2.5mm headphone jack rather than a standard 3.5mm, but.....the Pantech Jest 2 is among them.
I have never bothered to try to connect them before because I could never find a set of headphones that would fit the jack. I recently found an adapter (from 2.5mm to 3.5mm) at Radio Shack and bought 2 so that I could finally use my phones as mp3 players. The problem is, I have tried both adapters on 2 different Jest 2s, also tried hooking the phone up to regular headphones and also mp3 speakers, and the sound still comes through the cell phone rather than the audio line out.
Is there a setting in the phone that I am overlooking or something? I have read the manual and there is literally no reference to this or any other issue related to the headphone jack other than that it exists. Searching turns up other people asking the same question but none have been answered. Anyone have any ideas?Yes...I had done the same when I went to Radio Shack, showed them my phone and explained what I needed. I actually bought 2 because I have multiple Jests, and tried them both. Not sure why they don't work. It is simple hardware and shouldn't be dependent on models, etc.
I went in to Target yesterday and found a "headset" package that is made specifically for cell phones and my model was listed, a 2.5mm adapter was included. I bought 2 of these @ $21 each. These DO work and I was even able to use a standard audio cable to connect it to mp3 speakers and my car stereo. However, I am extremely disappointed in the performance of these phones. When you play the music through the phones speakers, it sounds normal. But once passed through the jack-which is only capable of mono and not stereo-it sounds terrible.
Frankly I don't know why they bothered to make this phone an mp3 player. It can't be plugged into any headphones or audio devices and sound as was intended. Really, MONO? -
Hi All
i have been trawling through the fourms and still cannot find a solution to my iMac internet issues. I have done a complete format and reinstall of Mac OS X 10.3.9 (to be fair i downloaded update on another computer and instelled via USB stick) everything works great can import into firewire from camcorder etc. Airport card can see the wireless connection but when i enter the password it states there is a problem and connot connect. I have tried everying (to what i can understand anyway) and teh main reason for a clean install was to get rid of any possible conflicts that may have been there.
everything else can use the internet including my MacBook (intel) fine. Some one did suggest once that DNS settings were not correct which to be honest i did not userstand how to alter them, plus if eberying else was ok why just this iMac playing up.
Please can you assist just want to this to connect so my son can upload his filming to pleople for his re school assignments.
thank you in advance
PeterOops!
Could you specify what iMac you have, the specs of the system & computer,
as that may help research or find workable ideas for you to try. This would
help in troubleshooting, or in discovering Support articles to link you to in
the course of a discussion.
I just re-read your post and had thought it was for a later
mac + OS X that would not run in PowerPC vintage!
(The mention of MacBook threw me off, as did a recent newer
OS X upgrade that may run -- in that newer hardware 10.9.3)
So you've upgraded a PowerPC iMacG4 to Leopard 10.3.9
and the internet doesn't work? The wireless router may be
using a different security protcol than the old Airport Card
can support; you may have to test the unit via Ethernet to
be sure the computer itself is fully updated. It may go to
Apple servers to look for Software Updates.
The settings for the wireless security may be incorrect,
since later WPA2, won't apply to vintage AirPort card.
With a later OS X such as Tiger 10.4(.11) the odds do
improve for connectivity to the internet.
The DNS settings should not be an issue if you can use the
internet with a recent version computer and later OS X.
Not sure how to help, except to try as a test, to run without
the security you'd really want with the wi-fi (WPA2, etc)
turned on, to see if the old iMac can then use it.
Another issue would be the lack of correct frequency; a
newer Wi-Fi system may not be set to be backward
compatible to 802.11a/b, newer ones use 802.11/b/g/n/+
You may check to see if the router has a setting to allow
use of lower or older spec connection.

Sent text messages disappearing from Pantech Jest
I have a Pantech Jest and have noticed when going back through text conversations that all of my "sent" messages have been deleted/erased even though I did not delete/erase them. Has anyone else had this problem? It's extremely frustrating.
its not just a few days. what is happening is your phone is erasing messages yo make room for new ones. if you text a lot and dont erase your inbox and outbox for a couple days, you will reach the max amount the phone has allotted for text message memory. And because your memory is getting full and we all turn off the auto erase inbox option, the phone resorts to deleting your sent messages instead. the advice i can give is to kinda watch how many total messages (in and out) you have between all your conversations and when you start getting near the range of 100-120 incoming, start kinda clearing room before your phone just erases them. also make sure your auto save sent option is turned on in your messaging settings

my computer has been taken in three times for internet issues. each time they say it is fixed. I have rest my safari several times, all the internal parts have been checked and are said to be in perfect working order, and i have had the entire profile of my computer wiped clean, having to reinstall everything. now it is doing this and will stay on this gray screen for up to a half hour, until the box that says safari has quit working, or the flash player plug in has quit working. Has anyone else had this problem, if so any help would be great, casue I really do not want to take the computer in again only for them to tell me its fine.

Pantech Jest won't let me move media (photos, ringtones, etc) to media card.
I upgraded one of my phones from the Pantech Jest to a Droid Razr maxx. I am trying to retrieve the ringtones I made (not ones bought) and pictures I took from the phone's memory. When I try to move all to the memory card it stops and says it is incomplete. Why can't I move any of my media to the data card? The phone is no longer activated but I should still be able to retrieve my data off of it. I've tried Backup Assistant Desktop App, but it keeps crashing.
Do you only have media on the external or is your whole iTunes library there? A complete iTunes library is the library files, supporting files and folders, and media files. Media files are just media files. Hint: Easiest is if it is the whole thing and portable. It can be relocated when it is not together but it may involve a lot more steps with varying degrees of success.

Hi there
It's been a while since I last posted on these forums with an internet issue, but my connection is really messed up. I'll see if I can do the speedtester stuff in between the constant disconnections that I am getting.
My router stats are at the end of this message. Despite the fact my Downstream speed keeps switching between 6Mbps - 7.9Mbps, I am getting around 1.6Mbps, which I expect. The very high number of errors is telling me that my line is really noisy: my parents have told me that the line, when using the phone, was very noisy when calling other people, which would confirm that theory.
I do know that there are some works being done in a plot of land right next to the telephone exchange and I suspect it's BT adding the fibre broadband exchange in preparation of activating fibre in my area by the end of the year, is it possible this is causing line issues ? I know we've also had really bad weather and I'm suspecting this to be a factor in my connection issues.
Many thanks for any help I can get.

I'm not connected to test socket, but I doubt that would make a difference to a noisy line ?
I'll do quiet line test, but my router settings do seem to be indicating the line is noisy. Here's another set of stats from just now.

It is a only a problem for users affected by the malware that replaces their DNS IPs on their macs. They already have a serious problem which they should fix. Follow the url in sig's post to determine if you are infected and how to remove it.

I can't be heard when I make a call - Pantech Jest
Suddenly, whenever I make a call on my Pantech Jest, I can't be heard on the other end. I think, occaisionally they can hear something, but not much. Mostly it is as if it were muted, but it isn't. Unfortunately, I'm assuming the problem is the result of my baby getting his hands on the phone and playing with it, but he didn't smash it or anything that would cause obvious damage. I've only had the phone for 2 months, so I'd love to find a way to get it working again that didn't require getting a new one. If anyone has any ideas, I'd really appreciate it!
We just started having this problem too. Got our phone in December 2010. No baby playing with it, so maybe that's not the reason yours started having trouble either. Did you find a solution?

I just got the Pantech Jest for Christmas. I tried downloading Bing onto it from my phone but it won't let me. I am on a prepaid plan. I went to the Download onto my phone and clicked Bing but it won't download. I tried downloading from the verizon site, but it says it's not compatible with my phone. When clearly, it is on the phone and on the compatible list of phones, it's on there. Is it because i am prepaid? Also, I saw that pantech jest could get Social Beat. But it's not on my phone. Is that because i'm prepaid again? Please help. Thank you in advance!!
I have had two Pantech jest's so far, the first one wouldnt stay on unless it was on the charger, then it started working fine again, and then one day it turned off and never turned back on. and now I have my second one which is not the first or second pantech jest, its like just a back up one the company makes if yours breaks. But anyway I just got my second one over summer and now it wont stay on unless the phone is plugged into the charger, last time the guy that was telling me what was wrong with it and said that if you use a phone charger that is to a different kind of phone or company it kills your battary and I beleive thats what happend again because I have use a sprint charger now because my other one had gotten chewed up by a dog. Now that this phone is slowly breaking I will not end up getting a new phone because they would not let me put ensurance on the new phone because i have had 4 phones from verizon and they all had ensuearnce and all broke someone so I ended up getting all my new ones free, but I guess I'll have to go without a phone now. But your phone might have stopped working because your son might have used someone elses phone charger at some point.

Pantech Jest - Social Beat Access
I have a Pantech Jest and when I try to sign in on Facebook with Social Beat, it won't allow me to because it is not providing Facebook with the proper password.
I have numbers in my FB password and when I press the function key on my phone to use a number, it enters the function key as a * ! UGH, I got a data package just to use FB in Social Beat and now I can't use it!Hello greenscrapcat,
I am sending you a link to the Owners Manual. Go to page 44 of the manual and it will give you instructions on how to change the entry mode.

I seem to be having a massive amount of random internet issues after upgrading to Leopard. The first and most apparent is that Mail and iChat both get randomly disconnected and Mail often insists that it cannot connect to the IMAP server one moment, only to work perfectly again within a minute while no other internet services (Safari, Transmission) are affected.
Safari has decided that http://news.bbc.co.uk is actually http://www.apple.com. I kid you not. I try and look at BBC news and I am consistently redirected to Apple's website. news.bbc.co.uk/iphone goes to apple.com/iphone. I've never seen anything like it before in my life.
Mail's RSS feeds seem to randomly disappear. No trace of their existence is left. After switching the 'default RSS reader' preference to Safari and then back to Mail, they re-appear - with all articles unread.
On the whole, quite a number of confusing bugs.So, what happens if you go here: http://212.58.226.73/ ? That's the IP address that news.bbc.co.uk is supposed to point to. I found that by looking in Tiger's Network Utility as my Leo is still on it's way to me. If you want to know what that IP is before going there ( a good idea ), you can put that in the lookup tab on Net Util and see what comes back.
If the IP works, then DNS is hosed somewhere. See what Net Util says news.bbc.co.uk translates to. If it the number above, it's a Safari thing. If it's apple (starts with 17 IIRC) then it might be fixable by flushing the DNS cache though I don't know how to in Leo (shouldn't be hard).
If you did an upgrade install, you might want to reinstall using Archive and Install. -
Pantech Jest 2 Support - link to manual doesnt work
If you go to this page, there is a button to see the manual for the new Pantech Jest 2
http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/index.html?p=5725&m=
Clicking the button just goes to an error message.
I would like to see the maual before I get a phone, since the stores don't have this phone and many stores do not have working models of feature phones. I cannot find the manual anywhere else. Please fix the link,Luckily, for the time being the company offering customer support for this phone has the manual on its website

Use the computer you normally sync with to download the desired music. Then import them to iTunes on your computer and sync your iPad to the computer to transfer the songs to your iPad.

I am about to receive my 3rd Pantech Jest. I am very aggravated that the phone keeps locking up, making it useless. Verizon just wants to keep sending me another Jest. This phone is horrible... Why would I want another one. I just want a phone that works so I can use the service I pay for. Why is that too much to ask????
All:
I have had the very same problems you all have had! This phone really sucks! I have had the battery replaced twice and the phone replaced twice. Well, I finally had enough and called customer service, AGAIN, and told the service person my problem. My only course of action was to upgrade to a new phone. That cost me another $150 and my yearly upgrade was set back to 2013! GRRRRR!!! I decided it might be worth it since I'm tired of the phone shutting off, freezing up and basically being a pain in the butt. I'm going to post a complaint on the Motorola site as well. I feel that if a phone has this many complaints, Verizon should have some kind of policy to replace that phone with a phone equal to the one that is not working. Paying a company for a service and not having the reassurance that they will back their products, is not in the best interest of the company. People are going to move to another company that will back their products and provide their customers the best service they can.
One more thing: My husband was offered this phone and was purchased off the website. When I went to get some help setting it up, the bozos, sorry, people in the Verizon store had never even see the phone before or knew anything about it. "Sorry, you bought this on line. We can't help you with it." What??!!! I thought maybe this particular store was out of the loop so I went to another store. Same thing. Now, answer me this: how can Verizon sell a phone online and not have the stores be able to help the customer? Sound reasonable to you all?
Ok. Off my soapbox now.
Bottom line: The Jest is the worst phone I have ever had.
