Can I get a phone that works please?

My Droid Bionic is probably the worst phone I have ever had. The battery is terrible, lasting only about 3-4 hours. I purchased the extended battery; thank you for that extra hour after spending nearly $40 for the extended battery. It is also very slow when trying to go from inactive to active, but my favorite (please hear my sarcasm when I say favorite) is when it turns itself off while I am in the middle of a call, a reminder, a text, you name it. WOW!! and I still have more than a year left on my contract. Any suggestions???

You could try a system cache clear; shouldn't erase any of your data.  You could purchase a phone off ebay or swappa or somewhere until you're eligible for an upgrade.  Verizon also has their Certified Pre-Owned Replacement Program: 
Certified Pre-Owned Replacement Program | Verizon Wireless*
System cache clear:
Power down phone
Hold volume up/down & power simultaneously
Use volume down to navigate to 'Recovery', use volume up to select
Should see screen with triangle and exclamation point next to an Android
Press volume up/down simultaneously
Use volume rocker to navigate to 'wipe cache' and use power button to select
Once finished, use volume rocker to navigate to 'reboot system now' and use power button to select

    You did install the latest iTunes (10.5) right?  If the problem was that iTunes does not see the iPod try:

  • I recently transferred my ipnone service from at&t to another carrier the phone worked fine until i tried to up it with itunes i now have a frozen itunes logo and a plug on the screens my phone is a iphone 3g how can i get my phone to work again?

    my ipone 3g is frozen with aitunes logo and plug after i tried to update it from apple. the phone worked fine even thou i changed carriers from at&t to Simple celleur. How can i get my phone to work?

    As AT&T has not officially unlocked your phone it must have been hacked to use another carrier.  So when you updated it has relocked itself to AT&T. There is no official unlock so this will happen anytime you update.

  • Can you get multiple phone socket working with BT ...

    Hi,
    So I recently had a BT engineer visit, he connected the phone line on the main socket then left. A week later they turned my BT infinity on.
    It works great but the main socket is in a different room to my office. I have a phone socket in my office right next ot my pc. But when i plug my router into this socket it fails to produce an internet connection. 
    Is there a way to get multiple phone sockets working? I would like to move my hub so it is in my office but the socket isnt giving off internet.
    Any help is much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    You need to identify the cables connected to the removable faceplate beside the red arrow - these are the extension cables to other sockets in the house. 
    Connected from here you will get voice only - not data. 
    If there is more than 1 cable you need to identify the one to your office, remove it and fit the cables to the yellow arrow connections. 
    You only need to connect the cables connected to 2 & 5 (there may be more connected to the faceplate)
    guide on this link  although it does not tell you the 2/5 connection order - I don't think polarity matters - but someone with more knowledge can advise. 
    A potential problem you may have is if there are other extension sockets connected to your office socket you use (and not the faceplate) as these then are not suitable  for phone - only data. 
    With DECT phones and the need for just one basestaion not really a probem nowadays but you need to know where each socket in your house is connected from, and what you want to use it for. 
    If you have any BB problems, BT will also insits you plug the router/modem back into the master socket for all testing. 
    EDited to add - a krone insertion tool is best for inserting the cables to the socket and has a nice pick to disconnect also. They are easy to use - search you tube for a video.

    If you are implying that you've never synced and backed up the device, well that is simply not smart.
    User's can backup their iOS devices at any time by connecting to iTunes and selecting the backup option from the Summary tab or by backing up to iCloud.
    Most people will regularly backup their devices and transfer iTunes purchases to iTunes on the computer for safekeeping.
    Basically, you are stating that the device has not been used as designed and now data has been lost.  Sorry, that's just too bad.  But at least now you know how to prevent this in the future.

  • How can I get a microphone that works on windows to work on Lion?

    I have just recived a headset I ordered off eBay. : http://www.ebay.com/itm/380536763585?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m143 9.l2649
    I have a windows laptop, and I plugged in the 3.5 mm jack for the microphone, and it works fine. If I go on my mac, and I plug in the correct plugs the the correct locations, it wont work. I have selected it in settings, and looked at the volume and gain. It wont work on Lion. I am using a 2008 iMac with 4gb of ram, and it is running mountain lion. How can I fix this?

    Hi, most PC Mics/Headphones won't work on Macs that use Line level, to use that you'll likely need an iMic...

  • Can't get EJB injection to work, Please Help!

    I'm new to EJB 3.0, so I tried the "sample" EJB 3.0 stateless session bean sample from Oracle for JDev. (I'm using JDev 10.1.3.1.0 bld. 3984), very simple stuff:
    package project1;
    import javax.ejb.Remote;
    @Remote
    public interface Hello {
    void sayHello(String inStr);
    and
    package project1;
    import javax.ejb.Stateless;
    @Stateless(name="Hello")
    public class HelloBean implements Hello {
    public HelloBean() {
    public void sayHello(String inStr) {
    System.out.println("Hello " + inStr );
    I can deploy the Bean w/ no problems to the embedded OC4J (in JDev) by just clicking "Run" on it, and I can successfully run the "Client" based on the "Older" implicit JNDI look up as follows:
    package project1;
    import javax.naming.Context;
    import javax.naming.InitialContext;
    import javax.naming.NamingException;
    public class HelloClient {
    public static void main(String [] args) {
    try {
    final Context context = getInitialContext();
    Hello hello = (Hello)context.lookup("Hello");
    Call any of the Remote methods below to access the EJB
    hello.sayHello("John Doe");
    } catch (Exception ex) {
    ex.printStackTrace();
    private static Context getInitialContext() throws NamingException {
    // Get InitialContext for Embedded OC4J
    // The embedded server must be running for lookups to succeed.
    return new InitialContext();
    The above client code works fine, too.
    But when I try to run the following client (It compiles fine):
    package project1;
    import javax.ejb.EJB;
    public class HelloClient {
    @EJB private static Hello hello;
    public static void main(String [] args) {
    try {
    hello.sayHello("John Doe");
    } catch (Exception ex) {
    ex.printStackTrace();
    It DOES NOT work, the @EJB private static Hello hello seem to never get executed, as "hello" is always null and I get a null pointer exception on (hello.sayHello("John Doe"));.
    I even tried to be more explicit and tried:
    @EJB(name="Hello"") private static Hello hello
    with no luck either.
    What am I doing wrong?
    I read all the threads here and no one seems to have problems w/ the provided sample, I even did a fresh re-install of my JDev with no help.
    Thanks,
    Reza

  • Can I get my phone to work through airport extreme?

    I Have NBN and I'm trying to find a way to use my cordless phone through my AirPort Extreme device. Any suggestions?

    Sorry, but what is NBN? Would that be National Broadband Network in Australia?
    What is your goal in using your cordless phone with your AirPort Extreme base station? Is it to configure it as an IP phone? Does it support this type of feature or does it rely on a standard POTS phone line connection?
    If your goal is to set up an IP phone system at your home, you may want to consider another modem/router that has this as an offered service as the Apple routers do not. I would suggest that you contact your NBN provider to see what they offer/support.

    As already provided, if you don't have such in your iTunes library, on your computer, then there is no way to put it back on your phone. Apps are DRM protected, so even if you found a copy somewhere, you wouldn't be able to use it.
