    Costco Galaxy S7 pre-order status?

    I have my phone. Charon is on the WA escalation team. She left a message for me on Monday after I expressed my concerns to Costco customer service. I tried her several times yesterday, but got hold of her today. She was pleasant and, FWIW, admitted missteps in WA's handling of pre-orders...

    Costco Galaxy S7 pre-order status?

    My phone was received by WA on the 3/9, still no ETA. I called Costco on 3/12 just to give them feedback on the notion of WA handling pre-orders by having them shipped all the way across the country to a single warehouse and back. As I said, Costco rep was appalled and said I'd hear from...

    Costco Galaxy S7 pre-order status?

    Called Costco customer service Saturday, to just offer the feedback that WA's distribution scheme where everything goes through one warehouse on the West coast doesn't work for pre-orders. The agent who listened to my story was appalled. He said they'd get back with me within 72 hours at the...

    Well, Doc fared better than I did. I called Wireless Advocates, the Costco partner company that handles wireless. They told me to go down to the store. Like Doc's experience, they had S7s on hand and were selling them with the bundle. Talked to both reps who called Verizon, the manager, and...

    Costco Galaxy S7 pre-order status?

    Doc is essentially correct. The concessionaire for Costco wireless is a company called Wireless Advocates, with I think one warehouse in Auburn, WA. I pre-ordered the bundle and was told at the time that I would be able to pick up the phone at the local Costco Warehouse here in Washington, DC...

    No answers to this? I am running Jelly Bean on an S4, having the same problem.

    S voice and default number

    Anything new on this? I have the same issue. For instance, if I am using S Voice Drive to send a text, it will send to the contact's landline if that is the default number. Does anyone know how to unset the default? Before I set a default number for a contact, it was at least giving me...

    S4 keyboards, learning words, and Personal Dictionary

    Yup. The S4 stock keyboard is powered by Swiftkey. Still find it strange that the personal dictionary is built in when the stock Android keyboard that uses it isn't included and must be downloaded.

    S4 keyboards, learning words, and Personal Dictionary

    I had some questions about various S4 keyboards and how they dealt with learned words. Searching the web and various forums, I found a lot of frustration and some misinformation, so I tried to figure it out myself. Here's what I came up with for my Verizon Galaxy S4 after research and...
