I don't know if this will help you, but I had a similar issue. I was trying to update The Simpsons: Tapped Out, and was told I had insufficient space. The total size that was listed for the game was about 800mb, and I had just over 1GB free on my S4. I had no SD card inserted, due to a recent...

Re: Verizon: How to keep Unlimited Data and get phone on subsidized price Was going to post this. And if that doesn't work, your PIN may have been changed. Mine was the last 4 of my SS#, until someone hacked my account last year and tried to order an iPhone. My address and email were...

Yep, gotta stick it in front of the vent. Actually thinking of getting one of those mounts that use the vent to hold it. My S4 shut off, and when I turned it back on it was at a whopping 100F. Seems like overkill. I appreciate my phone not melting while I use it, but there should be a way to...

Quite strange. They basically took your phone away, as if you just didn't have any service for the 2-3 days until it would arrive. Sounds like a potentially dangerous situation, if you needed your phone for an emergency or for work. I know you went to a VZW rep and at least got your old...

I used an extended battery in my previous phone, a Droid Bionic, and it was nice to have the extra juice, but after I got my S4, I just didn't want to have that extra thickness and weight anymore. I would go with a powerbank and/or just a spare battery. If you get a spare battery, be sure to...

I'd love to win an S5 or M8!

Re: Verizon: How to keep Unlimited Data and get phone on subsidized price Everything I've read about store pickup says they won't let you activate it yourself. The BB employee will have to activate it in the store, with the new SIM card. Once the phone gets activated with the new SIM...

Re: Verizon: How to keep Unlimited Data and get phone on subsidized price I went from a Droid Bionic to a Samsung Galaxy S4 with this method. I had to cut my old Bionic's SIM card to fit in the S4. When I tried to activate on Verizon's site with the old cut SIM in the new S4, I initially got...

Removable/expandable battery, better camera, and SD card/upgradeable memory. Those are really my biggest 3 reasons for picking the S4. I wanted to want the Moto X, but it lacks all 3, so easy choice when I put it in simple terms. I went from a Bionic with an extended battery to my S4, and so...

I've used the Diztronic TPU for my previous Bionic, and now with my S4. I prefer not to have too much extra bulk, but still have the corners protected against accidental drops. I also don't like using screen protectors, makes the phone look and feel worse IMO. Posted via Android Central App

Re: Verizon: How to keep Unlimited Data and get phone on subsidized price. I think, but I'm not totally sure, that the OP used an existing micro SIM from his old phone, and called the rep to activate it. My old phone, the Driod Bionic, uses a larger sized SIM, and had to be trimmed to fit in a...

Re: How to keep Unlimited Data and get phone on subsidized price. I didn't know about this Best Buy "trick" until recently, the first time I posted actually. I was reading a thread on Droidforums, and was linked to this thread. It can't be that bad for Verizon though, I am locked in for 2...

Re: Verizon: How to keep Unlimited Data and get phone on subsidized price. I was actually pretty worried when I tried with the old sim card, both on the website and over the phone, and it did't work. I figured the new sim would activate fine, and I would take my chances with the data plan and...

Re: Verizon: How to keep Unlimited Data and get phone on subsidized price. I did get that screen, buti just went ahead with my order. In my case, I don't have a family plan, I only have a single number on my account. I don't know if that has anything to do with it. I was available for an...

Re: Verizon: How to keep Unlimited Data and get phone on subsidized price. Short answer: It's working so far! Long answer: got the phone today, tried to activate it with my old Boinic's SIM card, trimmed with the Noosy cutter. Verizonwireless.com wouldn't let my use that sim card, saying it...
