Anyone else with a basic phone getting bad service?

I bought the Casio G'Zone Rock a long time ago because I was very happy with the Boulder (I even passed the Boulder on to my son's number and it STILL works great). I have had no reason to upgrade my phone or my plan for a number of years (in fact, the plan I have isn't even offered anymore). I'm starting to get the feeling that, because I'm not a cash cow for Verizon, they are intentionally reducing the quality of my service.
For example:
I can't keep a solid connection in my own one story home, but anyone with a US Cellular or T-Mobile phone has no trouble at all.
I will get a voice mail and not get a notification about it until more than 8 hours later.
Sometimes when I try to make a call, the phone has the 3G status and full connection bars, but it will timeout and never actually connect to make the call.
All of this is pretty recent too, meaning it never used to be this way. Am I the only one experiencing this? These are the same reason why I left AT&T and switched to Verizon.

    Basic phones and smartphones alike, we want all our customers to have great service with us! We're not picking on you at all. If the Boulder is still working great in the same areas you're having these recent troubles with your Rock, then we are definitely need to look into something going on with your phone's hardware. Electronics can wear down over time, so it's possible the phone that's been working may have begun to deteriorate. Here's a few things to try:
   - Update your phone's roaming list by dialing *228 send and selecting option 2
   - Go to Menu>Settings & Tools>Phone Info>SW / HW Version and ensure the Software Version shows C731M070
If you don't use the Boulder in the same places as the Rock is having trouble, then we may need to check out the area. Feel free to let us know your zip code so we can take a look at the area. Also, is the service trouble only happening when you're inside your home or when someone in particular is trying to call?
Thank you

[Athlon64] Can anyone else with an RS480M2-IL get their audio working?

Because I sure can't!
The hardware is installed. The driver is installed. I play music, and I use Windows Sound Recorder to show me that the system is, indeed, playing music. All of that seems like a beautiful thing.
I plug in the speakers, and nothing comes out.
Any ideas? Is there a jumper I had to jump that went unjumped?

Thanks dude, though that wasn't my problem.
I'd actually been using both front and back audio to test. I figured I'd jumper those pins and see if I could just make do with only-back audio. When I pulled out the cable connecting the front audio, I found out that it had come unconnected to the front panel part.
So your advice did indeed help! Just not the way it was meant to...

I can't get a picture outside on my new ipad. Anyone else with this problem? What should I do?

You're post is not very clear. Are you asking if other people have difficulty viewing their iPads in bright sunlight? Yes, everyone does. The type of screen the iPad has doesn't work well in bright sunlight. If you're wearing polarized sunglasses and can't see anything on the screen, try rotating it to landscape.
If you're asking something else, please explain.

I am on a plan with a basic phone that is breaking. I was given a smartphone that belonged to a relative that is now deceased, (they used the phone since they have passed it is deactivated.) how can I switch my phone over and is there anyway to avoid a data package/plan?

What is your current plan? In some cases it can be cheaper to move to a More Everything plan with an out of contract line. With More Everything, you will get a $15 per month reduction in line fee with a minimal data.

Anyone else finding it impossible to get iCloud to work? My software is up to date on my three Apple devices, I'm logged in to my account - and nothing synchs. Any ideas??

Anyone else finding it impossible to get iCloud to work? My software is up to date, I'm looged in to my account but nothing synchs across my Mac Mini, Mac Air and iphone 4s. I've tried all the trouble shooting solutions without success. Any ideas out there?

Hi
My iCloud works perfectly across my MBA, iPhone 4, iPad Mini etc. I did find it easier when starting to set things up to start with one item to sync.
I started with Reminders and went through all the General settinsg as well as Reimnder specific settings. Then just parlayed that process into each app I wanted to sync.
Happy to help out if you want to get started.
Iphone
1. Settings
2. Icloud (ensure your apple id is correct)
3. Reminders = on
MBA (connected to the Net through wireless)
1. Settings
2. Icloud (ensure apple id id corect and the same as on your iphone)
3. Calendars and Reminders = On
Type a new reminder on your MBA...
- your iphone should be updated. My iphone updated in less than 1 sec after I keyed it into my MBA
Let me know if this works

I can no longer shoot directly into phaseone software since i use my new macbook pro with retina display. pictures are not transfered from the camera into captureone. anyone else with this problem? any solutions?

i can no longer shoot directly into phaseone software - neihter version 6 or 7 - since i use my new macbook pro with retina display. pictures are not transfered from the camera into captureone. anyone else with this problem? any solutions?

My eyes just glazed over...Please in the future break down each of your issues with paragraphs separated by two carriage returns. It would be much easier when trying to address your issues.
Go to Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Mouse
And edit your mouse settings to do what you want it to do.
Secondly, this is not the place to vent. If you have a complaint, there is:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
or http://www.apple.com/contact/
We are just end users here helping other end users.
Third, from my understanding, it would appear you are concerned about the noise the hard drive makes when it falls asleep? Why not put your machine in screen saver mode instead? Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Energy Saver turn off all Energy Saver settings, or set them to run Never.
Fourth, if your machine was purchased just a few days ago, you may still be able to get an exchange from the store, quicker than you can get a repair done. You may want to look into that possibility.
Fifth, it does appear you found the Logic forum. I would persist in asking there how to solve your technical issue with Logic regarding the audio. It may be you don't have to do anything special to the hard drive. Remember audio can be transmitted by wire, avoiding ambient sounds.
Good luck!

Safari crashes and shuts down every time I visit Grays Online. Anyone else with this problem?

The website may need more memory than you have available if you are running iOS 5.1.1 on the original iPad. Try some basic troubleshooting steps. Maybe quitting all apps might be the best thing to try.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Quit ALL apps completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Have two iphone 5s with ios 7.0.2 camera video does not work. Anyone else with this issue? Anyone have a fix?

Own two iphone 5s with ios 7.0.2 loaded. Both phones do not allow camera video to start. Anyone else with this issue? Any suggestions how to correct?

Hello markittwo,
Thank you for details about the issue you are experiencing with recording video after upgrading to iOS 7.
The first thing I recommend is quitting and relaunching the applications on your iPhones:
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
You can find the full article here:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5137
If you are still seeing the same issue after quitting and relaunching the Camera app, I recommend restarting your phones and then resetting if recording video still not working:
Restarting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
You can find the full article here:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If the issue persists, the last thing I recommend is backing up and restoring your iPhones:

can anyone help with facetime? im getting missed calls but it doesnt actually come up with an incoming call.....the person im trying to contact just gets missed calls also?

I've noticed that once you miss a call on FaceTime on a desktop Mac, it won't work properly again until you restart the machine.
I sent in Feedback so we'll see how that goes.

Where are you trying to download it from? It is certainly available - it is the current iOS.
