I took the plunge..No issues with the hotspot. Standby time has really increased while it sits on my desk at work. Not sure if the battery life during use is any better. So far it seems Tinfoil for Facebook may be the culprit as GSam battery monitor states it's using 82% of battery over a 3.5...

Any luck with Verizon getting it fixed or did you just quit using it? I can't go without mine so I might wait it out a bit..

I use my hotspot like crazy. Are you on Verizon? That would be the only reason I wouldn't do it. I missed your post the first time I read through. That could be a deal breaker.

Great news. Thanks for the info everyone. I think I'm gonna update then do a wipe to make sure it's all a clean install. Rob.

Thanks for the info Sophia.

Just got a Note 5 for Verizon...As the title states, should I upgrade or are there a ton of bugs? So far I have read a few issues with battery drain and WiFi not working correctly. Thanks for the input. Rob

Do the Moto and/or Droid devices have a built-in call blocking function like the Samsung devices do? I realize they all have "Do Not Disturb" but I want something that will block a call and send it straight to voicemail without interrupting what I'm doing. I watch a lot of media on my devices...

Thanks all. The phone actually had a ton of issues including screen burn in and some dents and dings. I did grab it from the buyer for next to nothing as a result of the defects. I'm giving it a try to see if I like it. Then I'll grab one in better shape in the future. So far just has killer...

Thanks for the info, I had thought about that as well. What's to stop her from calling and reporting it stolen after I purchase it, even if I put my SIM in it during the sale? Is that not possible once it's on my account? Couldn't the same thing be done if we meet in a store and later she...

As the title states, looking at a 6 month old Verizon Note 4 to purchase. Any major issues I should check for when I meet up with the seller? I plan to drop my SIM in it and make sure it activates but are there any major known issues with the Verizon version? Thanks, Rob

Well there you have it. Something has changed. Guess Verizon was sick of losing money when people caught on they could get a decent replacement phone or hold me over phone if they lost or damaged their main phone. Still worth it to pay the $30 or whatever it is to save a ton on having to buy a...

Unless something has changed since last June this is not the case. If you are currently a postpaid customer you can go buy any Verizon prepaid 4G phone from a Costco, Best Buy, Walmart etc and put your post paid sim in it and it will work fine. The trick as I stated before is to never, ever...

Re: does the droid maxx 2 have a light that flashes when new notifications arrive? Disregard...found the answer. Active display is now part of the Moto app and no longer allows indefinite pulsing of a notification. It times out after 3 minutes or so and then you have to nudge the phone or wave...

It will work on postpaid. I have one as a backup. Put your post-paid sim in and off you go. Moto E requires a micro size SIM card. *** Make absolute sure you remove the prepaid sim before you ever power on the phone for the first time or it'll cause issues. ***

Can anyone tell me if it's the full version of active display or the dumbed down version like on the Moto E and Nexus 6 called Ambient Display? I ask because I need the ability to have it continue to flash an icon on the screen indefinitely for a notification until I acknowledge it like the...
