I am on an old plan. Nationwide family plan with Unlimited Data and two phones. I was in the Verizon store and they would not give me the credit. I am long out of contract and have greater than 10Gb data. anyone have any advice on how to make this work out?

I have a SG3 that was whacked by the factory update. I got it NEW from Verizon and paid the price plus extended a contract. There were many of the NEW GS3 phones which had problems, maybe better than most rollouts of new phones but still some problems. Was I a bit lucky in that mine was...

carlos, That is exactly what mine was doing. No data service in weaker signal areas and not even 3G. When I took the phone to the VZ corporate store it seemed to be fine and showed 5 bars of 4G. Data worked just fine there also. Something in the OTA screwed the radios, either hardware or...

I posted this in the other couple of threads related to the OTA clobbering of the working GS3 phones. Perhaps we can get a loud enough howl to get a policy change. I'm with the person above who does not want some refurb phone that didn't work when shipped. ++++++++++++++ The OTA update...

I posted this in the other thread about the VZ screw up on the OTA update. I wanted to post here so that we might possibly get something going on an improved replacement phone. +++++++++++++ The OTA update screwed my GS3 too. 4G service won't work unless in a very high powered signal area. 3G...

The OTA update screwed my GS3 too. 4G service won't work unless in a very high powered signal area. 3G also drops out. So I'm left with terrible data service. I've been to the VZ corporate store a couple of times and am getting another phone shipped to me. However, I really think that VZ...

I added a new contact, went to Backup Assistant, and hit the Sync Now button. The sync failed and I got an error message: "Subscription cannot be confirmed at this time." Anyone have an idea as to what caused the backup to not perform the task? I've not changed anything on the phone.

Pull ewe's teat.

Sending a letter to Daniel Mead may have some effect on the matter. A better route for complaint is with the FCC. Verizon cannot trash that complaint. There is another thread on the "complaint" topic with links to the FCC website and filing the complaint is pretty easy to do. If you follow...

Re: What app can you recommend if your phone gets stolen to track A feature of Android Lost is that it can be installed AFTER a loss or theft by using the website. The website can also be used to "control" the phone from the computer. I'm not sure what a thief do to stop you from...

That Developer Edition phone is not availabe now and there is no release date. It remains a vaporware fictious device shown only to generate some Hopium.

There is an announcement by Samsung that the Developer Edition will be "Available Soon." I called Samsung to find out if I can buy it.. Rep could not find out when it would be available. Is Verizon holding up the release? No way to find that info. So, nothing has been released to unlock...

I have tried to make three or four posts a day on the VZW Facebook page with compalints about the disabled Galaxy SIII. I also note that the full featured models with full capabilities are available from AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile. No Google Wallet for you. No Upgrades or Updates for you...

Anyone have any updates on this confusing situation? I'm nearing the return date and am trying to decide whether to keep or not. Unlocking would convince me to start using the GSIII rather than return.

There is an app named Android Lost which can be installed on the lost phone, after the loss. Free and can be configured through the interweb. Takes pictures, recordes voices and sends you text with GPS location. Also it can be configured as a hidden app. I'm using it on a DroidX, not too...
