I just posted about the same problem not realizing this thread was here. Both my wife and I have the S5 with identical settings. She can scan barcodes with ease while I cannot. There's definitely a defect then...

Both my wife and I have the Galaxy S5. My wife's camera performs great but mine fails to focus almost every time. For example, if I attempt to read a barcode with my wife's phone it's crystal clear but my phone "auto focuses" and goes blurry. It's actually clear for half a second but then it...

I'm looking to setup my radar detector on my motorcycle but I need to pair both the radar detector to my phone and my phone to my helmet. The radar detector will provide audio/features to the phone by bluetooth which I then want to hear in my helmet. I haven't purchased the $50 part I need for...

Thanks for this... I'm glad I didn't have to wipe my phone.

Re: Verizon: How to keep Unlimited Data and get phone on subsidized price Just as an update, I swapped the sims from both Galaxy S3's and both work great. The sims were already activated and it began to work right away. My Verizon account still lists unlimited data as well. I did notice a few...

Re: Verizon: How to keep Unlimited Data and get phone on subsidized price You can do what I did... I shipped my phones to my brother in Utah and paid $6 in tax. California wanted over $100 for the two phones. My phones showed up in Utah on Wednesday and should arrive to my place in California...

Re: Verizon: How to keep Unlimited Data and get phone on subsidized price Bought two S5's for $99 each. Crossing my fingers my data stays intact and I get the $50 promo gift cards from the Feb promo.

Re: Verizon: How to keep Unlimited Data and get phone on subsidized price It won't because your current phone would not work if they activated the new phone. Clearly they're not going to cut your service for a few days while the phone is in the mail. What people have reported is that the SIM...

Re: Verizon: How to keep Unlimited Data and get phone on subsidized price You wouldn't use her SIM card. The SIM card is what's activated, not the phone. You can take any phone into Verizon's store and have them place a new SIM card into the phone and activate that SIM card to your phone...

Re: Verizon: How to keep Unlimited Data and get phone on subsidized price One option, that may be a pain, would be to borrow your gf's phone, have her keep her sim card, take the phone to Verizon, and finally have them activate it and place a new sim card in it for you. Order your new phone and...

Re: Verizon: How to keep Unlimited Data and get phone on subsidized price Sounds like luck of the draw at this point.

Re: Verizon: How to keep Unlimited Data and get phone on subsidized price Here's a helpful video with instructions.

Re: Can't seem to purchase a phone at BestBuy.com A GS3 has a micro sim card and an HTC Thunderbolt has a mini sim card. I don't know what sim card a GNex has. Is it the same as her GS3? The GS4 is also uses a micro sim card. You can simply remove her sim card from the GS3 and place it in the...

Re: Can't seem to purchase a phone at BestBuy.com The promo for registering your number already ended about a week ago. You get a $50 gift card by email 3-5 days after activation or in-store immediately after activation. However, I'm unsure if Bestbuy will recognize any activation if we just...

Re: Can't seem to purchase a phone at BestBuy.com Has anyone confirmed that with this trick, you still receive the $50 Bestbuy reserve gift card? The terms all state it'll be emailed 3-5 days after activation. With this trick, I'm wondering if they'll ever actually see an activation? Gift Card...
