Verizon to release Major Software Update

[anon(238680)]

CALLER NAME ID can be deleted from within the app. I opened it and went to account and stopped the free trial then opened it again and went to account or settings ( can't remember now ) and there is a option to delete the app from the phone.

I went through all this and noticed that the app was still showing in Applications (its in ROM, don't know how it can be "removed" as Verizon notes). I cleared data and disabled it, will see.

Has anyone found the "Smartswitch" that is supposed to help transferring files between devices? That was listed in the OP's list from Verizon but I can't find it to see what it does.

Try a restart after you delete it from the phone. I just noticed it popped back up in the RUNNING apps even though it was deleted from the phone and no longer shows up in the app tray or in the ALL APPS list.

Thanks for posting this info. I reenabled Caller Name ID and was able to stop the free trial period. I then had the app remove itself. Hopefully the change was propagated to my VZW account. We'll see on my next bill.

I have having big time issues with 4G dropping since the software upgrade. I hope this is happening to many people so they will look at it.

Could someone confirm if this update is 4.1.2 or otherwise? Thanks

While on Wifi I'm still showing the 3g/4g but getting connected to 4G seems to be an issue.

I'm also having issues. I was in a major downtown 4g lte area and was only getting 3G. I did an airplane mode cycle and it came back full signal 4g lte.

Not happy!!

It's a nice update with the new multitasking window and revamped gallery app. As for Caller ID, yeah, I just feel bad for the vast majority of people that will end up paying for this without knowing how to stop and disable it. Sneaky indeed. If it was free, it'd be interesting but no way is it worth $2.99/mo in my opinion. Either way, happy with the update here.

Definitely some weird things going on with 4G since the update. Does anyone know if the radio software got updated in this release?

 

[bontjes]

I would like to know that to

If you open the caller id app you can stop the trial. After you stop it you can actually un-install it from inside the program.

I had disabled it but when I read this I re-enabled it and opened the app. The screen has a message that "Caller Name ID has not yet activated. Please try again later." and an OK button. Clicking OK closes the app. I haven't received an email from Verizon, though. Maybe it isn't my turn yet but if I do, I'll follow that procedure. Thanks, Murof.

I am also having major 4g problems. I've never had them before. The reception on the phone right now is reminding me very much of my Thunderbolt and that's not a good thing.

With this update under settings and then battery it doesn't show any apps using battery. Just screen, cell standby, system

Right after updating my wife's S3,tge app gave me the same message. Ran it again a few minutes ago, and I had the option to start the free trial. Clicked on Account Tools instead and found the option to remove the app.

Interestingly, her phone hasn't had the simultaneous 4G/wi-fi issue some are reporting. And I don't see a hit on her battery. The phone has been unplugged for over 14 hours, and it's at 50%.

Any way to turn off the multitasking tab/function ?
It's in the way of most things I do.

EDIT: Found it in the pull down.

Anyone notice the quick replies are now gone on the incoming call screen now?

Has anyone else noticed that the swipe to text or call your contacts does not work as reliably as it used to? I can sometimes get it to let me send a message but I cannot get it to make a call. I rechecked all of my motion controls just in case the update disabled them but it still doesn't work. Anyone else notice this?
