23 Months from now...

... my next phone will be dumber than my decision to buy a Samsung Galaxy S4. To anyone who will happen upon this message and is looking to purchase a new phone, my advice is that if you are looking at getting a Galaxy S4 then all I can say is DON'T.
Thank you verizon (lower case v intentional) for your bloatware, your draconian terms of service agreement, your terrible customer service, your inflated prices, your inferior products, and for you just being you.
In the meantime my refurbished replacement to a truly over-hyped, steaming piece of moose dung phone that failed on me within a month of purchase will arrive right in the middle of my vacation week that I must now wait around for otherwise you'll charge me $500 I don't ship off my original phone within five business days for some ungodly, unknown reason. Your shareholders should rest easy knowing that all that money just to get some scratched up replacement is money well spent on them.
23 months and counting... and for each month that passes by I will return to this site to remind, and to educate any poor fool who happens upon your doorstep on what lays in-store for them.
To be continued next month.

Make sure when you send your current phone back that you use your own Fed Ex Label and NOT the one they send you. It will cost you a few bucks to do it but make sure that you
1) Take a picture of the contents of the box before you send it
2) Add some packing inside the box to make sure the phone is protected
3) record the weight of the box
4) insure the box for $500-$600
5) track the phone and print out the signature when it is actually received back at Verizon
If not (and you may still run into this) you will get charged for the phone not being returned
Be told that the phone was damaged or not the correct phone
Be told that the Box was empty
You can see the nightmares on many other posts on this bpard about this.

  • Phone not being fix untill a month from now

    my phone/internet cut out, called verizon, they said that it will take them a month for some one to come and fix it.  i stated that i was a student online classes and need intrenet access.  Is there a place were i can file a complaint to the company ? can i contact the FCC? or my city gov. because verizon almost holds a monopoly over my city, this is the second time this has happen and i really cant change companies.  

    On 1 June my service was supposed be transferred. Technician came by. Turned on service. 2hours later no service. Called Verizon, got a run around. Tuesday 5:30p technician calls. "I'm on my way". 9pm still no show. 3 June 11am I am told a technician will TRY to come by my house on 4 June.
    Got fed up and have told Verizon{please keep your posts courteous} . As much as I hate Comcast I will give them my business. They said they will have me hooked up with TV, Internet, Phone within 4hours.
    Verizon has a lost a very loyal and long long time customer. {please keep your posts courteous}

  • Select extract(month from sysdate)+6 = returns 13 and not 1(jan)

    Hi
    I am using the following query to get the month 6 months from now.
    select extract(month from sysdate)+6
    from dualHow can I say that the month should be 6 months from todays month? It worked all these days because this month + 6 was always a valid month. Now it returns 13.

    When I run the following, I get '1'. I am expecting '01'. What am I doing wrong here?
    SELECT substr(lpad(to_number(to_char(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE, 6),'MM')),2),1,2) FROM DUAL;
    I need number - so using to_number. I need to extract the month, so using to_char. If someone could help me get 2 digits for the month and simplify the query if possible - would be great.
    The table has month and date stored as number (bad idea I know but thats how it is). Now for January 31, it is stored as 131. For 15 Feb it is 215. What I need is give me records where the month is 6 months from now. Something like:
    to_number(substr(lpad(tbl1.monthdt, 4, '0'), 1, 2)) in
    substr(lpad(to_number(to_char(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE, 6),'MM')),2),1,2)Message was edited by:

  • SQL select Statement -first day and last day of the month - 1 year from now

    Hi,
    I need to write a SQL to get the dates in between first day and last day of the month one year from now.
    SELECT last_day(add_months(sysdate,12)) as lastday from dual
    What could be the Query to get the first day of the month one year from now..
    ie ..Sysdate - 3-DEC-2009
    Result - 1-DEC-2010
    thank you

    Hi,
    You can use TRUNC with 2 arguments to get the first DATE in a month, year, quarter, week, hour, minute, ISO year, ...
    SELECT  TRUNC ( ADD_MONTHS ( SYSDATE
                               , 12
                  , 'MONTH'
                  )     AS first_of_month
    FROM    dual
    ;The DATE returned will be in the same month, year, quearter, ... as the first argument.
    \We convered the last day of the month in [your previous question|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=3942939#3942939].
    At that time, I warded about using LAST_DAY as a cutoff point; TRUNC is a much better way.
    For example, to find all appointment_dates in the current month next year:
    SELECT  *
    FROM    appointments
    WHERE   appointment_date >= TRUNC (ADD_MONTHS (SYSDATE, 12), 'MONTH')
    AND     appointment_date <  TRUNC (ADD_MONTHS (SYSDATE, 13), 'MONTH')Note that
    the first part of the WHERE clause calls for dates on or equal to the beginning of the 12th month in the future, but
    the second part of the WHERE clause calls for dates before, not equal to , the beginning of the 13th month in the future.

    I’m having an intermittent problem with my midi controllers triggering Mainstage 3.
    I’m using a PreSonus Firebox audio interface.
    It’s been working fine for months, but now when I first turn on the computer in the morning , I’m not able to trigger MainStage from the keyboard.  I tried different midi controllers, different keyboards, different midi cords, and check midi preferences.  The audio interface is working fine and is recogonized, but the midi doesn’twork.  I re-started the computer several times and then finally it miraculously starts working again.
      I’ve been having to this every day now.  Any help or ideas is very much appreciated.

    I Had the same problem with a FireStudio. Try unplugging the FireWire plug and the power plug. Wait for a few seconds, then plug both back in. The light on my FireStudio was flashing blue/red which means "not connecting." I did what I just described, and everything works again. Hope it works for you.

  • My itunes won't update. It's looking for 10.6.0.40. Last time it tried to update, I downloaded the msi to my desktop and I deleted it within the last six months. Now I can't uninstall or update.

    The last time my iTunes couldn't update. I used support from Itunes and downloaded it my desktop. My mistake. Because without thinking, I deleted it within the last six months from my desktop, without thinking I'd need it later. For the past month I've needed to update my Itunes and it can't find the msi. Now, my Ipad, my kids' ipod touches and my iphone can't update. Especially the ipod touches, iphone and work ipad have already updated to the OS6. And, now they won't work with this outdated iTunes. Help.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • How to calculate first date of month from a given date in IDT BusinessObjects

    Hello Experts,
    I have a date field in IDT Universe which shows date in this format: Dec 13,2014 12.00.00 PM. Now I want to extract first day and last day of month from this date value. For example: here I want to see Dec 01,2014 12:00:00 PM and Dec 31, 2014 12:00:00 PM in First day of month and Last day of month columns. Also, if database date value is Nov 17, 2014 12:00:00 PM then in first day of month column, it should show Nov 01, 2014 12:00:00 PM and in last day of month it should show Nov 30, 2014 12:00:00 PM.
    I got some google help but 'Date' function is not supported by IDT tool in BusinessObjects.
    Please help.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi

  • Carefull with Nokia from now on!!!

    Nokia N8 dont press too hard on Menu button ! The bottom cover will crack right from the 2 screws. Also Nokia company in Romania sucks big time. I call the free 800 XXX.... number at Nokia call center to ask them where is the service. The lady there give me the information, ask me the IMEI of my phone and told me is OK and original, then she ask me to stay on the phone to take a survey, but I nicely deny her because I was in a hurry. Same day I went to Nokia service and they check the phone, the IMEI and then they say the parts have to order because are not in stock. Next day I went there parts were in but after 15minutes of waiting they told me this IMEI have been taken off warranty. JUST LIKE THAT! and that they only can fix it only if I pay. I ask them for what reason they take my phone out of warranty because even if I did not show them a invoice the phone did not even have one year since it came out on market, also the phone was not stolen, they say it may be refurbished. But if this was the reason I wander why Nokia when they refurbish a phone dont put a message on the screen so phone dont sale as new or why they dont update the IMEI status before they release the phone. I purchase the phone in December 2010 few months after release, I dont think they have refurbished then. I call Nokia again and a guy that pretend is manager he told me laughing I am lucky I used the phone that long and I can buy a new one, he did not care of any responsibility for the brand and that I am good faith client that purchase the phone from a legal company....you people decide further if trust Nokia from now on. I think this people from call center deactivate my warranty just because I did not take the survey.

    Can you for further investigation please give us more details :
    - name of the person you spoke with at Nokia
    - phone IMEI number
    - your personal details
    Can you send them to [email protected] ?
    Thanks in advance.
