Billy the Mountain posted:My sister, dad and i are all on a family plan. The fact that there's this much confusion about this shows how ineptly Verizon is handling this whole thing. Although I guess most of the potential mistakes all end up working in their favour, so I doubt they're too upset over it.

Cojawfee posted:Are you talking to me? It has 32G of internal storage that was wiped when I did a factory reset. It was wiped when you unlocked the bootloader; unless you ever relock and re-unlock the bootloader, that's the last time it'll wipe the internal storage. You can do as many factory resets as you want without touching the internal storage from now on.

Colonel Sanders posted:OK, where did they jack up the price for a significant portion of users? Look, you can keep saying "everyone texts" as much as you want, but not everyone texts. Between Google Voice and Google Talk, I haven't used more than 10 texts in a single month so far this year, and that number could go down to almost 0 if my dad would remember to text my GV number. The fact that you "think most people are going to want text messages" is irrelevant to those of us who don't. Comparing the price of an old plan with unlimited texting to the price of a new plan with unlimited texting is a pointless comparison for people who've never had and don't want unlimited texting (or minutes for that matter), since that's not something we want to be paying for anyway. Under the old plans, that was our choice. Under the new plans, too bad. That's what people are complaining about.

gets you 2GB ($100 total) or extra 
for 4GB ($110). The old pricing if 2GB wasn't enough you add an extra $30 for 5GB - pay either $100 for no text messages or $120 for text, and the same $120/month would get you 6GB on the new plan.

Colonel Sanders posted:I don't know what the statistics are for who spends hours on the phone, who sends a million texts, or who uses too much data. I do know a lot of people still send me a lot of text messages. So without knowing the statistics, I still believe text massaging is popular and probably wanted by a majority of verizon users. Even if this is true, a majority is still not everyone, and there's absolutely no technical or logistical reason to force everyone onto unlimited minutes and texts. Like bull said, the problem here is the loss of choice.

Speaking of bootloader shenanigans, whatever happened to the warrantyless developer edition of the RAZR? It's said since January that it will be available in the "coming months". Obviously their "We'll start unlocking bootloaders in 2011" promise has turned out to be the bullshit that most of us knew it would be, but can it really be true they haven't managed to get even this half-assed nod towards the bootloader issue onto the market in the US?

bull3964 posted:You were NEVER going to buy the Razr HD anyways due to the bootloader, so I don't know why you are so incensed about the battery they put in it. Because Motorola somehow manages every time to make awesome hardware with one or two deal-breaking flaws, and when they finally introduce a feature that fixes a flaw on basically every other phone in existence, they inexplicably decide to walk it back on the next generation.

I've never purchased an expensive electronic item like this from Craigslist before, and I don't want to get screwed!

I don't suppose there's any way, if I'm on a family plan with five lines, two of which (other than my own) are currently month-to-month, that I could transfer the remaining time on my contract to one of the month-to-month lines and cancel my line without an ETF, is there? Logically this should be the same, from Verizon's perspective, as transferring an upgrade, but I somehow doubt they'll see it that way.

chocolateTHUNDER posted:Do you seriously have a problem with a company checking to see that the discounts it gave out are still valid? It's not that I think it's valid anger; it's just that after years of Verizon shamelessly wringing every last possible drop of money out of people (elimination of unlimited data, inflation of smartphone prices, elimination of grandfathered unlimited data plans, Share Everything, probably about nine more things I'm not thinking of right now) it's not surprising that people would get upset at yet another instance, especially if they—like most normal people—don't think about their cell phone plans all that closely beyond paying it.

MREBoy posted:Asking this here as I have a Verizon branded Razr MAXX - if this more for the general Android thread, I'll head over there. A factory reset will only wipe user data and won't touch your Android install, so you're safe there. As for the large amount of Awake time, try downloading BetterBatteryStats from the Play Store. It should help narrow down exactly what's keeping your phone awake. Do you keep Skype open all the time? That could very well be the problem (it's kind of a badly-written app).

MREBoy posted:I don't leave Skype running all the time. I use it about once a week on average actually. I just installed BetterBatteryStats so I will post some results in a day or two. At this point I'm at 3 days 12 mins battery time and it's down to 30%. Those actually aren't bad stats at all; I hadn't noticed that your previous graph had over two days of time since charging. You may be able to eke a bit more out of that battery, but you should know that you're already way ahead of the curve by Android standards.

The Bananana posted:Hello Verizon thread. I'm usually in the sprint thread, complaining about how terrible my service is, but today im here for a different reason. My girlfriend's crappy samsung slider is epileptic and shaking itself to death, refusing to charge. Fine, I've hit up craigslist and found a Verizon Galaxy Nexus. Just double-checking—your girlfriend has Verizon, right? The Verizon GNex is a pretty mediocre phone overall (piss-poor battery even for that generation, weak radios, slow to get updates because of Verizon's special snowflake testing process), but it doesn't really have any completely show-stopping bugs.

I'm on a family plan where the primary line gets an employer discount. Last time I bought a phone (December 2011), I also got a discount on the phone and accessories. I have a two-part question: 1) Does the employer discount program still work in such a way that people other than the primary line holder get discounts? 2) If so, does the discount apply if I buy a phone from Verizon off-contract?

kitten smoothie posted:This post a few pages back outlined the decision tree for how most corporate discounts apply. That's an awesome post and thanks for bringing it to my attention! What I now realize that I didn't make clear in my initial post is that I'm asking specifically about the discount on equipment purchases rather than plan rates. Will I still get the discount on the $700 full retail Maxx that I got on the subsidized $250 Galaxy Nexus two years ago?

Coco Rodreguiz posted:More than likely No. Unless its a very big company, like thousands and thousands of corporate lines with Verizon that has one of the older discounts that Verizon still honors, then you won't get a bigger discount on the phone itself. I was afraid of that. It's a small local company so I'd be shocked if they had negotiated anything better than the norm. Thanks for the info though!

The Bananana posted:Hello again, Verizon Thread. Need to know what are the best options for a used Andriod phone I could probably find on Craigslist for around 100 - 125. There's nothing good out there in that range. Another GNex, an original RAZR, or a Rezound would cost around that and all of them would be basically serviceable for a while. There's also the iPhone 4 and the Nokia Whatever if you're not married to Android.

Professor Moriarty posted:According to Verizon's page the G2 is currently $150/phone, so I guess that's out for us. We were thinking of maybe getting Galaxy S3s since my wife has rather liked her S2 (and I pretty much hated my HTC Evo 3D) but if there's any better smartphones out there that're reasonably priced I'm all ears. Keep in mind that the GS3 is almost 18 months old now, and while it's a perfectly functional device today, it probably won't look so great at the end of that 2-year contract. The Moto X is absolutely worth the small extra upfront investment to prevent you from wanting to fastball your phone into a wall down the road.

This certainly seems to indicate that the soak test was short-to-nonexistent. Maybe they've halted the rollout because of all the bricked phones, but it's obvious they went to a general rollout very soon after the soak test was supposed to begin.

This seems like a good time to bring up the fact that Verizon's stated reason for being slow to release new phones and OS updates relative to other carriers is so that their rigorous testing protocol can ensure the highest-quality experience for their customers.
