Call settings missing from Verizon V10!

[Ole Kristensen]

Just picked up my new V10 from Verizon and discovered to my horror that only Advanced Call Settings exist. Where are the rest of the call settings that are common on LG?

Looking at getting the V10 sometime this week from VZW so your thread title caught my eye. I downloaded the Verizon manual and it says the way to get into call setting is as follows:

Tap the Home Button > the Phone icon > the Options icon (three dots) > Call settings.

My last LG was a Chocolate 3 and I'll be coming off of a BlackBerry, so I don't know if this is what you were looking for.....

Did that work?

Regrettably no! I also went to the Verizon site and downloaded the full manual for the V10.
Apparently, Verizon has removed the LG-provided call setups and provided their own in stead. They are severely limited. For example, there are no gesture controls. You cannot decide for a call to be answered by holding to phone to your ear. And there's more.
Damn Verizon!
You pick an Android phone to get freedom from Apple's way of doing things. And then to have to live with Verizon's.
I want it my way.

If you have a choice of carriers in your area, I would recommend you stay clear of Verizon. I have checked out the AT&T version. They kept the original LG call setups, and LG did a great job with them.
I don't know about T-Mobile.

Hmm, gestures are available for me:

Wobblin is correct. I have a Verizon V10, and I have those same options.

Hmm, gestures are available for me:

X2 and I am on Verzion also.

That's wierd. The screens you show are almost exactly what I have on my AT&T G4, accessed through Settings. But my Verizon has nothing like it Settings or elsewhere.
