I got the update on Verizon last night.

I was waiting for Best Buy which here at least has no phones nor a hope of getting any. I called Verizon and found out they had 3 black 256gb at a store 30 miles away. I cancelled Best Buy and drove up and picked one up yesterday. The store guys said there had been very little demand for the...

They're selling for around $600 right now.

I'm really tempted to use Best Buy and sell my Note 20 on Swappa.

Verizon offered me $700 to trade in my Note 20 Ultra, but only if I agreed to pay the reduced price off over 3 years. If I tried to pay it off earlier the trade-in value goes away and I have to pay the full cost.

I noticed that it included the April security update, which is helpful.

I have the Moto 360 2015. It pairs nicely with my Note 5 but disconnects (and then reconnects) several times a day. I wondered if anyone else has problems with frequent disconnects.

I noticed the same thing. I haven't tried anything to fix it.

My wife and I both have the Nexus 7, and both updated to 5.0.2 tonight. Mine had the original update that disappeared before I could load it. Both are working fine. I had the "an application needs updating" bug, but it disappeared after several apps updated themselves.

Did you do the advanced calling update? When I turned that on, it took several hours for Gmail notifications to come through. All the settings were correct, and eventually the problem took care of itself.

So I downloaded the update this morning and went to work. "Install update" was in the system tray. When I got home, I absent-mindedly cleared the tray. Now I can't find the update. Checking for update only says that my system is updated, though it's still at 4.4.4. Is there any way to get...

There's a new option for APN, "add new access point." It's grayed out, as is "Reset to default." There's only one option to check, "LTE-Verizon Internet." Presumably (or hopefully) the "add" option will become active if you put in a new sim card.

Re: Europe with European prepaid SIM cards! (Germany, UK, Finland) I spoke with a VZW global support rep last week, as I'm planning a trip to Israel soon. He told me that LTE phones are always unlocked, including the Note 2. He said it would take a foreign sim. I asked about the APN, and he...

I was at a Verizon store last week. I asked about global roaming. The sales people looked this up and told me definitely (they said) that the Note 2 will work on GSM networks in Europe. It will pick up whatever network has a contract with Verizon. This is contingent on calling Verizon before...

Verizon issued a statement explaining what happened. Statement From Verizon Wireless on 4GLTE Network I was on 4G in Columbus when the outage occurred. We were leaving to head back to Indiana where we're 3G only. I had no service for the 3-hour drive. When we got home, 3G was up on EVDO. I...
