CASIO G'zOne Commando Manual Photo
Verizon is launching a new rugged Android phone from CASIO called the G’zOne Commando and we’ve been sent an early copy of the product manual to give you an insight into the features of this rugged outdoor phone.
The manual states:
The CASIO G’zOne Commando™ is water resistant. It provides reliable performance for outdoor activities, and in wet conditions such as driving rain or high humidity.
The phone is definitly designed for the outdoor enthusiast with a range of applications and widgets focussed on the active lifestyle. G’zGEAR provides eight useful tools for outdoor activities, including:
- Earth Compass.
- Walking Counter.
- Adventure Training.
- Thermometer.
- Tides.
- Sun/Moon.
- Star Gazer.
While we have been asked not to post the manual, we have extracted a few photos of the device and the the tipster informed us that the device features what looks like an 800MHz processor. Check it out below.

About the Author
Funny typo in headline is funny.
I want that clock on the home screen!
i want those G’zGEAR apps. The compass and tide widgets look awesome!
I wonder if it’s rugged like the Motorola Defy? Waterproof (resistant)? The Defy is one bad mamma jamma. I got a Defy for my wife and one for my daughter. They’re rough on phones.
it is very rugged i have dropped it on concreat from about 20ft and dropped it in my pool and have no problumes to this day!
Well we can see it has been Binged. I’m curious what “Read Out” is. Also those widgets are awesome.
“Read Out” just reads your latest text message aloud.
I could see getting my brother to try this. He’s been using rugged flip phones for years.
I want to know if it is a Push To Talk device….otherwise I will get a 4G phone….
no it is not a push to talk… however there are apps in the market that you can download to use any android as a push to talkl… both parties need it downloaded though
ken don’t listen to froglaps, it is a push to talk, I own it.
Yes it is a push to talk
What version of android is it? 2.1?
2.2.1
Any new info?
Looks like it might drag me to the smart phone realm, can’t get a size reference with this pic though?
i have this phone and i love it im just trying to figure out if there is any way to set up a signature for texts
Go to the text screen and press settings look around its there!
Bought it, netflix and blockbuster don’t support it. How can I get movies?
Netflix works fine, just released several days ago for the commando.
how do you get compass off front screen?
Drag it to the trash…. just like any icon/widget on android
How can I turn-off the crazy predictive text?
settings – language & keyboard – XT9 Text Input – language &settings – english (or) – keyboard input – auto correction will be checked tap it to uncheck. Your done.
You can remove any Widget by tap-and-hold until the widget turns red and the trash can appears at the bottom of the screen. Then drag it to the trash.
Hey my commando starts up but then has I blank home screen and it says there’s a launch error. Any help?
oh my, i actually took my commando into veriZon and they didn’t believe me because they had not had any problems what so ever with this phone yet. they said to take off the lookout app that’s on it because it tends to fail the start up application .. i did that, well they did that for me it was fine for a few weeks and now I have the same issue again. This is what i don’t understand
My commando did the same thing worked great for first 3 months then one morning the I took it off the charging cradle and had a blank/flashing screen, we took it to verizon store the teck said never say any thing like it with a commando. sent me a “new” one no fee
Never mind It worked itself out
how do you forward a text/picture message from the camando
Push and hold the senders icon then pick the option forward message
How doyou retrive your apps for games after they are downloaded
i have the commando and love it, but in the camera mode i cant get it to zoom, i drag down the settings menu and click on the zoom and there is a slider bar for the zoom, but it is unresponsive. i have tried many times from all angles and everything i can think of. its like its turned off, but i cant find anywhere to turn it on… any help?
I have the same problem and can’t figure out a solution. Get your’s working yet?
Found the solution, though it’s not a good one — apparently a very limited camera: per manual, when camera is set on 5 mp, zoom is not available. Set it to lower (3 mp) and there is some very limited zoom available.
You have to change the camera’s setting. Go to the side bar and hit it then picture size- once you make the size smaller – the zoom will work.
you cant zoom if you have it set for 5 megapixels
you have to drop the resolution down lower and then u will be able to zoom.
You can zoom if you turn the megapixels down from the max settings
how can you speak and your text come up on the screen and it can be sent?
Use Google’s “Voice Search” app that’s pre-loaded. If you say “Text John Smith, Let’s meet at Joe’s period” it will get John Smith’s phone number from your contacts and type out: Let’s meet at Joe’s. (You do have to say the word ‘period’ for it to put the punctuation in, though.)
how do i set a ringtone i bought to my text messaging
I’m having the same problem! Can’t get my ringtones to work as text tones, have you figured it out yet?
How do you set speed dial on the commando phone

To load a speed dial press and hold finger on home screen and a window
will pop up saying add to home screen. then click short cuts. Select
direct dial and choose a person. Press and hold and that will add them
to your home screen as a speed dial
there may be an app for that. i believe i saw one while flying thru the 500 apps
When I call someone and their phone sends me to voicemail, my screen blacks out and is unresponsive. I have to call my phone to get the screen to come up then power down my phone to end the call. What can I do to correct this problem?
I cannot figure out how to keep the apps from popping up all the time. I am killing them constantly. It keeps the battery drained. The battery is only good for 4 hours at the most. How do I fix this problem.
juice defender app has worked wonders for me

Just received my Commando and love it although I am finding that the paperwork that came with it is not very detailed. I do like how durable it and tough it feels and hopes it lives up to all the reviews.
the booklet is terrible. its kind of a hit and miss situation here. fool around with the phone kill the battery a few times and enjoy. this is 1 bad azz phone. mine says when the phone rings “is it time for my bath yet daddy, hurry im dry and i hate it, dont answer the phone i need to bathe” lmao yes my phone is clean

Go to your settings..then sound…then you’ll find it
hi, you have to go under your texting application first. Then push the menu button on the phone, the icon w/ four lines scroll down press select ringtone and enjoy!
HHow do I use the call waiting?? The screen just blacks out after a min. Into the call, how do i answer a incoming call with out loosing one?

HHeadphone jackets not working with my auxiliary plug or headphones. Do I need to turn it on somewhere
when creating a new text, is there a way to access my “contact list” to add multiple people to recipient list? or do i have to start typing in every one of their names and touch their cell numbers, in order to add to recipient list?
i need an answer to this question as well
Dido for me too..Sucks cause I do ALOT of forwarding to multiple people
How do you forward a text message? I can’t seem to figure it out.
How do you remove names from the favorites(frequenty contacted) section without deleted them?
To load a speed dial press and hold finger on home screen and a window will pop up saying add to home screen. then click short cuts. Select direct dial and choose a person. Press and hold and that will add them to your home screen as a speed dial.
how do i send a forward picture txt to my other contacts.
The screen timing out is in one of your settings. You can hit the power button and the phone screen turns back on and all functions are availale again.
For emptying your cache, killing apps and killing apps taking mass battery, you can download Android Assistant from the market for free. Also, the apps installed by Verizon will keep turning back on and tampering with this voids your warranty. I have already delt with this too.
Tammy Asher; if you download “Go SMS Pro” (A great texting app), you can choose new message and hit the + sign, your entire contact list will pop up. Another great thing about the program is that you can back up all your text messages to an SD card and also send it to your gmail account. When you get a new phone or factory reset your current phone, you can download the app and it will restore all of your messages again with all original time and date stamps from the SD card.
Other great free apps that I use are “Zedge” (for wallpapers, ringtones and notification sounds), “RingDroid” (for chopping songs to make your own custom ringtones from your song library), and “Google Maps” for a phenominal navigation. Google Maps is free and is way better than the installed nav and is also free. You can also get street view with it that shows you the exact place you are going to. A new software update just came out the other day that makes the commando even easier and has worked flawless for me since the installation of it. Hope this helps.
what format do songs need to be loaded onto the phone to use as a ringtone?
anyone no how to erase ringtones from the gz one commando.. thanks
does anyone know how to erase ringtones from the gz one commando
anyone know how to delete ringtones?
Dude,get real! Go to setting &phone ringtones, hit delete bra!

You have to go into the settings on the camera and reduce the resolution below 5mp to zoom. Each level you go down, you can zoom more.

This phone has been a total nightmare- and when I’m done with it I’m going to crush it into sub-atomic particles and send half of it to Verizon and half to Casio and tell them to snort it.

phone buzzes, rapidly cycles screens, and for several minutes user can’t access phone functions: the dialpad flashes on and off. It’s got a life of its own! What is going on? Way to prevent it or stop it when it happens ?
thanks
When you have narrowed your list down to one or two companies, then it is
time to check the trustworthiness of these lenders.
We suggest that you just go for monthly payday loans as they’re easy to spend off.
