    Verizon Note Recall Thread 2.0

    Not yet - I called Verizon a few days ago about it and they connected me to Samsung, who said they will be applying the $25 credit to my Verizon bill in 2-3 months. He took down my name, address, and asked what phone I exchanged for (LG V20). Kinda strange.

    What has Verizon taken away from V20?

    I was able to get Smart Settings by using the Quick Shortcut Maker app using the first Smart Settings listed. I set it up to open my podcasts app when connected to Bluetooth in my car and seems to work perfectly. I haven't tried any of the other Smart Settings so your mileage may vary.

    Here are the Major Note 7 Alternatives (sorry, none of them are exactly like the Note 7)

    I would have got S7E if it had 64gb of storage. SD card is a no go for me, so I picked my poison with V20. It's definitely bigger and not as easy to operate with 1 hand, but I like it. I'm sure I'll go back to Note 8 for all the reasons you mention above. All top end android phones should offer...

    Make sure you have the double-tap on screen to wake option turned on. This makes up for the fingerprint sensor being on bottom of phone. The Note 7 was the best phone ever...but learning to like the V20.

    And now they charged me shipping on this order I see on my paperwork. Great - I get to call Verizon about billing charges again!

    V20 ordering on Verizon NOW

    Feels nothing like my Note 7 :( I'm actually quite shocked at the feel and build quality :( Too used to Samsung phones I guess

    Verizon

    I got transferred to 4 different Verizon reps this morning trying to order this damn phone since my internet order last night never processed! No one could do full retail until the 4th rep...what the hell?! Was on phone for 2 hours to get full retail order processed! I had 2 Note 7s (recalled...

    Verizon Note Recall Thread 2.0

    I'm still waiting for my $933 refund from Verizon for my 1st recalled device I shipped back in September. I'm not shipping back my 2nd recalled device until I get my 1st refund. I am not paying for a 3rd device in full on my credit card without my freakin refunds first.

    I was very disappointed in VR...did nothing for me and it's so grainy. Pixel XL isn't exciting me as a choice, but it's my runner-up. LG V20 is top pick for me so far since that has a second screen to somewhat mimic AOD, and it has 64gb unlike the S7. Seems like the best fit for me to replace...
