For what it's worth, the My Verizon data usage widget just started working, so that's a good sign.

Re: New Owner ... Thought for prospective buyers For me, it's not that the power button seemed lower, but rather that the power and volume rocker are on the same side. I find myself inadvertently hitting the volume button just when grabbing the phone. Also, though I'm right-handed, I use my...

As I said in my post, it was doing this even with "straight to voicemail" enabled. Setting GV as my VM service on the phone solved it. It also made it so the basic visual voicemail works on the phone too (no text but can play message without opening GV app).

Re: New Owner ... Thought for prospective buyers There is one bug of sorts that I found with the 6P (mine anyway), and that is that I can't always send tones. I have a teletime system to call into for work, and when I press the numbers the system says I didn't enter anything. At first I thought...

Actually, the only drawback is that even with this option enabled, the caller still hears 5 more rings AFTER the phone has stopped ringing (or you dismiss the call). It's almost as if it does the standard number of call rings AFTER the actual call rings have stopped. I tested this myself using...

How long did it take to cancel and go back to Google Voice? I'm waiting about 5 hours at this point. It only took 5 minutes to activate Fi from GV initially.

I'm in the process of cancelling right now (number is porting back to GV, which is why I'm here now...to find out how long it takes). I financed a Nexus 6P and the page says you can return the phone for a refund if it's less than 15 days since you received it (I received mine on 11/9/15). As...

Nope. Wrong password 5 times does NOT offer to unlock with Google. It just says too many incorrect attempts and makes you wait 30 seconds to try again. To dispel ALL the suggestions I've seen on this and two other threads on this forum, here is the situation: - phone will NOT read fingerprint...

There was an upgrade at one point that when it was done, I found that I now had visual voice mail at no extra charge. I declined it and went back to the standard voice mail because the visual voice mail is the biggest data hog in the VZW arsenal of apps; even if you don't receive voice mails. I...

I have found that since the 4.4.4 update, the 4G light never goes off, but I seem to have kept my data to normal levels by disabling every single Verizon app, including the new free basic visual voice mail. I went online and removed that and went back to regular basic voice mail. Since then I...

I noticed the same thing when I first got my S5, and it drove me nuts trying to find the problem. Not only was it using excessive data, but the 4G icon was ALWAYS lit (it should be grayed out when WiFi is on). Finally, I found that Verizon's Caller Name ID was the culprit (even though I don't...

Re: LTE stays on while on Wifi (Verizon) That's how mine looks now that I disabled Caller Name ID. Before I did that, the 4G was lit up as bright as the WiFi icon, 24/7, and periodically showed activity, even while WiFi was active. I wouldn't have even found my way to this thread if my 4G...

Re: LTE stays on while on Wifi (Verizon) Because you were giving misinformation. WiFi does not "automatically" disable 4G. If any Verizon apps that use data are running in the background, you will eat through data without knowing why. Verizon apps ONLY run on mobile data. They will not use...

Re: LTE stays on while on Wifi (Verizon) Before I disabled caller name ID, 4G was ALWAYS lit up just as bright as WiFi, and the arrows below both would show activity. Since I disabled the CNID, 4G is now present but grayed out and shows no activity when WiFi is connected. 4G WAS on...

Re: LTE stays on while on Wifi (Verizon) The 4G is NOT necessarily disabled. On my S5, the 4G was ALWAYS lit up (never grayed), and the first few weeks I had the phone I used more data than I ever have in an entire month. The transfer arrows under the WiFi and 4G would often be active...
