Anyone else disgusted with lack of flexibility?

I have had my service with Verizon for over 12 years, do you think they would let me upgrade early. nope.
SOOO off I go to another provider, my contract has 6 more days, I already have a feature rich phone from ATT for $45, I will port my number in 7 days.
Verizon is stuck on stupid.

It is the purpose of this site to see guidance and express opinions. As you
are well aware, VZN customers are spoiled by great coverage and decent

are valid BECAUSE they are from VZN customers. Knowing you are getting the
shaft is not a reason to quietly accept it. We VZN customers welcome
venting when that is the only out-shy of going to another carrier.

As a Verizon customer, I am fully aware of the purpose of the forums here. I myself have gotten good advice that I had a hard time seeing the logic in right away. Are you telling me that my opinion, since it is not in favor of the OP, is invalid? Since I did not jump on the "I hate Verizon" bandwagon, that makes me an employee or shill, as implied by your use of "we VZN customers." It's quite common for someone who doesn't agree with complaints to be accused of being an employee. I am not, but my saying so isn't going to change anyone's mind. The opinion expressed by the OP is valid, and I do not dispute that. I don't agree with it, but that is my right, isn't it?
I agree that "knowing that you are getting the shaft is not a reason to quietly accept it," however, I don't think that a policy or pricing change is a reason to freak out either. I understand that if I don't like what I am charged (whether by Verizon or the local grocery store), I have the option to take my business elsewhere. My indignation over the price of a pound of hamburger is not likely to make the grocery store revamp their pricing. Pick your battles, that's all I am saying. I personally don't like going around being outraged and bitter all the time.

When I try to copy something from my desktop to an external hard drive I keep getting this message: The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -50). Has anyone else dealt with this issue?

That is a pretty strange message. Have you had a chance to reach out to Windows Live?

The battery is not detected, so it means that the battery or the battery connector are not working, which is a serious problem.

Is anyone else dissatisfied with the new lollipop upgrade?

I'm frustrated with the lollipop change to silence (mute) phone procedure! And also frustrated that I can't find any DETAILED description of the upgrade changes to my phone and how to access/use them. Anyone else?

I am incredibly upset with the lollipop and kitkat upgrade. I had a brand new S5 I bought in February. When the first time I upgraded it the phone started to have issues. It was only 2 months old. It would lock up continuously, overheat, delay or not even send out my text messages until the phone was hard reset or rebooted. I even did a factory reset on the phone and the problems still existed. My contacts would throw an error as well and need to be shut down.
I went to the my local Verizon store and told them my issues with the phone after the upgrade. All they were able to do was send me out a refurbished replacement phone while the phone is under warranty. I think that if the phone needs to be replaced that at least you should receive a new phone instead of a refurbished one. Especially seeing that I had absolutely no problem with the original phone until i updated it with lollipop and kitkat. the old phone was never dropped or damaged in any way. it even had a life proof case on it!
I currently have a "new" refurbished phone from Verizon. and it came with the original OS on it. I have refused the updates now for 2 weeks. and it seems as if the phone is acting up a little bit after every time I refuse to update it. But it still is nothing like how the other phone acted after the update!

Anyone else struggling with ITV Player via the new...

Started using the ITV Player at the weekend, having had the new box for a few days. The quality is terrible - picture stopping and starting, sound dropping, etc. I've tried it on two evenings, and the same results both time, across a sample of programmes.
I spent ten minutes sampling programmes from the other catch up services, and they all seemed to play fine, so it *seems* like its just the ITV service I sturggle with.
Anyone else have similar issues or could test to see if they have the same?
cheers
mike

Hi mikef
There have been a few reports over on the Youview Community forum with regards the ITV player.
Not tried the ITV player yet but had problems trying to access the on demand players, kept getting error code YVM104 have to turn the box off at the back to rectify the problem, 4OD player then started buffering and stopped stating that my connection was not fast enough ( I have BT Infinity 62.72mb) or there was a problem with their servers?
Since delivery of the BT Humax Box Friday 12th October the Humax Box as froze twice!!

Now on Fourth phone replacement. Fed the same bull. Anyone else deal with this?

I'm just curious how many people out there are going through or have gone through the current issue I'm having with Verizon Wireless. I upgraded my cell phone to the HTC Droid Inc 2 a little while back. I had informed the in-store customer service rep that I was in need of a very reliable phone but would like to have all the "bells and whistles". I also informed him of my line of work (I work on an ambulance as an EMT) and that my phone was critical for my job, and that I was also expecting a newborn. He then proceeded to pitch this phone to me as one of the top selling and that there have been "barely any known issues reported". I bought it. That day, had to replace the phone TWICE due to (the first phone) not having any signal, and (the second phone) not having any signal AND screen not responding. Then after a couple months of use (phone has a protective case, screen protector, no water damage) the screen suddenly stopped responding again. Was assured by customer service that this is a very rare occasion and almost "unheard" of. Was sent a new phone in the mail a few days later. Was told that all new phones are "guaranteed" to work fully as expected. Now, that phone's screen has also STOPPED working. Being a dedicated Verizon Wireless customer for many years with multiple lines on my account and having always paid my bill on time and never having a complaint before, I called customer service to explain to them how I could no longer take the risks of having this cell phone due to the possibility of its malfunction either during a critical moment at work, or if anything was to happen while my newborn daughter was in my care. I was pitched the same "this is a rare occasion" and "your new phone is guaranteed to work" lines from the customer service rep. Now I understand phones malfunction. But I would rather take my chances with a new model phone, due to the fact this is the ONLY phone I'v EVER had ANY issues with. And it's not like I was asking for the newest and greatest, just something of equal value, or even less of a value, as long as it had relatively the same functions. For a bill of roughly $200 a month that I give Verizon, I honestly didn't think this was to much to ask for. Does anyone else have anything similar that has happened to them like this? I would love to hear it and find out your outcome.
Thanks and sorry if I rambled, just really frustrated and wanted to get my point across.

Daisy,
Besides hardware issues like the power button that keeps sinking further into the phone and which Verizon has told me is actually a feature of the phone there are issues with a tower that is one mile from my house. In fact I can see the tower, yet I have constant dropped calls and conversations are garbled.
Now, before you tell me to do the *228, a battery pull and hard reset, I've done all of that. This tower is defective. I've had a technical support engineer tell me that. A major interstate runs by and my exit is known as a dropped call area for Verizon. Yet, when I call to ask what could be done they were surprised I was having problems because of the close proximity of the tower. And I was told this was the first trouble report they had had, which I find amusing since I hear people all the time refer to the area I live as the "black hole."
So, what they've done is open a trouble ticket and they were supposed to have sent out technicians to run tests. I was told they would get back to me within 24-48 hours. It's been five days and I've yet to hear anything, nor do I expect to. The support team kept trying to sell me an extender, which won't work given the tower has problems.
I work out of my house several days a week and it is imperative I have a phone that works as advertised. Your coverage maps show this to be your strongest area for coverage. My phone shows 4-5 bars constantly, yet voices are garbled and calls dropped. The support rep had me mark calls and when I called back she said she saw 25 dropped calls. That's unacceptable. I never had these problems when I was with AT&T. Since Verizon's answer is to deny there is a problem and try and push me to buy a cell extender my next step would appear to be to invoke the mediation clause on my contract. I believe I have collected enough evidence to render the contract void at this point.
I appreciate you responding to my post, but I also know it's your job to monitor these sites and offer lip service to customers complaining. But you and I both know you aren't going to do anything to help rectify this problem. I am going to call them one more time and press them for a solution and if none is offered then the next step will be in the legal arena.

Anyone else dealing with error 1403 downloading ios6?

Anyone else facing error 1403 when downloading iOS6?
It pretty much downloads the whole update then the error message comes up right as it seems to be finished. Says the download has been corrupted.
Any suggestions/solutions?
Thanks.

I just had to work on this issue. Apple escalated my problem to software engineers. They suggested that 1403 error means your DNS (domain name service) Server isn't working properly. They provided me with IP addresses of other public DNS Servers to change to in network settings. Problem solved!

Anyone else displeased with Verizon?

Is there anyone else out there who is extremely displeased that after paying Verizon thousands of dollars for bad service they now refuse to unlock my Razr Maxx phone so I can use it on another network where I can actually receive calls? Motorola says my phone will work on AT&T's network and all I need is for Verizon to give me the unlock code. One Verizon employee told me the phone is not locked. At a Verizon store I was told they simply do not unlock phones. Maybe it is just ignorance! Their attitude and actions cause me not to be surprised that on visiting three AT&T stores and two Verizon stores yesterday there was hardly anyone in the Verizon stores and standing room only in the AT&T stores? Duh!

Your phone is selling now on swappa.com for somewhere between $105.00 and $140.00. I suggest you sell it there and you can turn around and spend that money on the at&t or other carrier of your choice, I have sold many phones on swappa and I have also purchased phones there with out issue. They check all the phones IMEI numbers out to make sure they are phones that age good to go on the carrier. The nice thing about doing this is you don't end up with a contract with a carrier and in many cases somewhat less cost to your for the service they provide. From what I have seen existing customers of most providers get little or no customer service. You are best off to not deal with those phone stores unless you have to deal with them or their web sites as well. I have learned to do most of what I need for myself and I am very satisfied with the phone service I get on VZW it works where I live and the places I frequent when I travel. Neither at&t or TMOB work where I live. We have one other local carrier that will work here but when I travel and get to far away from my home I am paying roaming charges. As far as those other carrier stores having customers waiting in line out the door, don't know where you live but I don;'t see that happening around here or when I travel. You must have mistaken the carrier stores for a Wal Mart or some other store.

Anyone Else Disappointed With The Performance?

Anyone else kind of disappointed at the performance of the beta version of Safari?
Seems awfully slow to load pages and surf after I installed. Not sure if it's just because it's still in development or whatever. Just wanted to get some thoughts.

Hi,
NO, I'm not using any BETA version at all ...
I'll will wait for the official release fro Apple.

Has anyone else noticed the lack of sound quality with FaceTime in iOS 6, over wifi?

FT has lost much of its fidelity. It gates out all the noise, which I'm sure is supposed to be better, but now it's more like like a cell phone call. Sure the warmth of sound is better, but it cuts off breaths and sighs. All the things that make it so great when talking to your kids and family when traveling on the road.
If this was the cost of getting FT over 3G, it's not worth it.

Hi there, I have the same issue with FaceTime an ios6. When using it with iPhone 4 and 4s, the sound quality has decreased when compared to ios5. Background white noise is now reduced but low volume sounds (such as sights and whispers) are cut out too.
This is qualitatively not an improvement, and much of the warmth of former talks using FaceTime is now gone.
I do really hope there will be an answer from apple's side soon.
Cheers

Anyone else struggling with iPhone 5 battery ?

iPhone 5 bought direct from Apple on release, set up as a new phone out the box, I have pretty much everything turned off, and the battery life is still struggling to get me through the day, and that is without what I would consider excessive use. No gaming, no movies, no streaming, just texts and a few calls, manually retrieved emails and an amount of sporadic browsing whilst at work.
My iPhone 4 coped much better than this.
Anyone suffering the same symptoms ?
Should I take it in for replacement or is this the standard iPhone 5 experience ?

Call me crazy..but I've actually experienced better battery life with my iPhone 5. That's one of the features I've liked best. If you haven't yet, I'd follow up on all of the stuff here
http://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html
If that doesn't help, an appointment and trip to the Genius bar wouldn't hurt.

TS3276 Difficulties using Stationary in Mail: Cannot save to send separately to multiple email addresses or groups. Some recipients do not see the whole email- bottom is cut off. Anyone else wrestling with this?

Using Stationary in Mail:
How can you save to resend to additional emails or groups? When you hit SAVE where is it saved to? SAVE AS is not an option.
I have received complaints that only Half the message was received. Is Stationary not compatible with all mail programs or operating systems?

O.K. I typed:
pear upgrade --alldeps pear
and this is what I got:

To install use "pear install PEAR#featurename"
I wasn't sure if it actually upgraded it or not so I typed:
pear info PEAR
and I get:
Could not get contents of package "/usr/local/php5/bin/pear". Invalid tgz file.
If I type:

I get the same results:

What does the Array() mean anyways? Moving on, then I typed:
sudo pear upgrade --alldeps Mail
and it upgraded successfully. Now the code is working and I am sending email again! Thank you so much for your help in leading me to the solution (--alldeps). If you find out how to get the error reporting to work again let me know, and I will do the same if I figure it out.
