Carrier IQ question for verizon

Here are the questions I would ask Verizon if I could. Does my Droid X have Carrier IQ installed? If so, can I get software to remove it without rooting my phone? If not, can you send me a new phone? If the answer to these questions are yes, no, no then I will be joining in on a class action suit. I never agreed to have keylogger software software installed on my phone.
Verizon needs to let users install whatever software on thier phones that they want, and not install anything they don't want. It is that simple. The days of bloated "Verizon Android" operating systems need to end now.

Gee, it's like no one ever heard of "cookies" (and I don't mean Keebler or SoftBatch).
Anyone doing electronic transactions is doing some form of this. If they claim they don't, they are lying or at least spinning their activities.
Individual privacy died with the invention of the telephone (I remember, as a kid in the days of party lines, some neighbor kid showing us how he listened in on the other parties' conversations and thinking that was twisted). It hasn't gotten any better, it will just get worse. Is it serious? YES. Can we do anything about it? Yes, but we won't. It's gonna take more than a few folks haughtily posturing on an Internet forum (gee, the forum owners can't track us, can they? Please, grow up already) to get anything done. And then, you trust this government to do anything effective that isn't profitable to them?? I'm chuckling now at the thought.
Just face it. We are screwed. In every way imaginable, and not just because, OMG! Phone makers are tracking us. No, an immeasurable percentage of the population cares enough to lift a finger over this. And my faith in humankind says that this ain't gonna change. Go ahead, prove me wrong. No one loves hearing "I told ya so!" more than me, I assure you.
The day I chose this cynical view of things is the day I felt better and quit worrying about it.
There ya go...

Question for Verizon Reps

Hello,
I have a couple of questions:
I ordered an iPhone 6 and an iPhone 6+. Will they ship separately since the availability date was different? I believe the 6 was available on 9/19 and the 6+ on Oct. 7.
When I ordered the 6+ it asked me if I wanted to keep my 4G SIM. I answered yes but honestly didn't understand what the question was. Should I keep my SIM or get a new one?
Thanks in advance for the help.
Anthony

Thanks for clarifying that. Is there any way to have the ship separately?
Or could I go to a Verizon store if they have them in stock?
I would love to get the iPhone 6 this Friday and can wait on the iPhone 6+
until Oct. 7.

Question for Verizon staff or Knowledgable member ....

It's my first time using a smart phone. If I use the wi-fi connection network in my house to browser/surf the internet will I received extra charges?
OR ....
Will I received extra charges if I download new apps through google's play store using my wi-fi network connection?
I would like to know what specifically gets charged when I use wifi from my home network.
As I DO know, if I use the 3g/4g mobile networks I will definitely get charged... it's added to my data usage.
Can someone at Verizon or knowledgeable forum member give me a more clear simple understanding of all of this ? Your help would truly be appreciated.

Very simply as long as you are connected to your home WiFi there are not any additional charges.
However if you get an app you need to pay for, obviously you will need to pay for that app
In addition, you will still need to add a VZW data plan to the smartphone. But I suspect you knew that

Question for Verizon re. HTC return......

I have just upgraded using the Early Edge thing, and now have a Galaxy S5 which I love. However, I need to return my HTC Rhyme to Verizon, and I am not sure how to get rid of all the stuff I have on it - photo's, contacts etc. Do I just need to do a "Factory Reset" to wipe everything out? Thanks.

expat98,
Great news! All you need to do to clean the device is a factory reset http://vz.to/1xTDFVg and remove (or format http://vz.to/1xTE1ey ) any SD card you have installed.

Cheapest family plan for Verizon Iphone 4S?

So my dad has a 1st Generation droid, data plan (Unknown), Minutes (450), Texting (not unlimited). My mom has a dumb phone same as my dad but no data plan obviously. Now my question how much would it be under a family plan if i got the cheapest data plan, lowest minutes on a phone (i hardly ever call), and unlimited texting? How much would it be a phone you all would think if both my parents have verizon phones.

These are questions for Verizon and can be found on their website or by calling them.

This is for Verizon Customer Service: Is there an estimated date for the 8.1 Denim update for Windows Phones?

Will Cyan be rolled out for the Icon, or should we expect to wait until Denim is supposed to be rolled out around October
<< Moderation discussion removed to comply with Verizon Wireless Terms of Service >> This is a very specific question and Verizon Customer Service can't answer it if they don't have a chance to read the question.
I spoke with Microsoft Customer service, and the agent specifically said MS already pushed Cyan to Verizon, and he, as a WP owner on Verizon, was also frustrated that the updates haven't been rolled out by VZW.
So bottom line question: Skipping Cyan? If so, what is the Denim date?

Unfortunately the answer is unknown. The majority of the Windows phone threads here are about this exact subject, and that says a lot about Verizon and their ability to communicate on a basic level. You might get your update, you may not. Verizon is in control and doesn't really care.

'Genius' related question for anyone with over 1.2TB of music?

Anyone out there with a iTunes library with over 1.2TB of music?
Reason I ask, is that I've not been able to solve a problem in updating Genuis - I'm getting the error - 'Genius results can't be updated right now. There is not enough memory available ~ Please try again later.' or the 'unknown 4002 error'. The steps I've taken to try and correct sometime back can be found in https://discussions.apple.com/message/12584815#12584815 and also shown here in sequence below.
I keep thinking this will be fixed with the next version iTunes but so far with the latest, things still the same. So looking to see if anyone with a similar size library is having similar problems and it just a limitation of the program or it's something specific on my end that I can fix.
Appreciate...
Up to this weekend I've had not issues with Genius. Worked beautifully and updated last Sunday as I have been doing every week since Apple added Genius. Yesterday I added a few albums and went to update and now getting the error of 'Genius results can't be updated right now. There is not enough memory available ~ Please try again later.' Now my library is well over >200,000 songs and only added 6 albums this time. Music sits on a external 2TB drive ~100GB free and my MacBook Pro has over 60GB open. Running latest Mac OSX and latest iTunes. Nothing new installed or changed since last Genius update.
To the points raised in this thread.
1. I've been updated weekly with a Library with over 200K songs till now with no problem. Majority is what I've ripped from my albums & CDs.
2. Deleted the albums recently added since last successful update - same result.
3. Connected directly to the network bypassing router as suggested here - same result.
4. Reinstalled iTunes program - same result.
5. Repaired permissions - same result.
Problem remains. Welcome any additional thoughts.
Question for anyone with a music library
https://discussions.apple.com/message/12584815#12584815
Ok, tried all the suggestions here yet the problem remains.
In addition what I posted above -
1) Dumped the cookies in user/library/cookies folder
2) Deleted the apple cookies found under Safari Preferences "Show Cookies"
3) Repaired disk permissions
4) Deleted iTunes Library Genius.itdb file
5) Reinstalled iTunes (with the new 10.1 version)
6) Restarted computer
7) Rebuilt iTunes Library folder http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1451
8) Deleted all iTunes dead tracks
http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=removedeadsuper
9) Increased internet access speed
10) Removed all open "[" and '}' brackets from songs, albums & artists
10) Rebuilt my entire library from scratch!
Is there anyone out there with over 200K songs that can update their Genius? One thing I noted is the genuis.itdb file is just over 2GB. I'm wondering if there is a maximum size on this based on the error I'm getting. Any thought or know info on this?
Ok, think I may have found something here with this. I backed out all the music added prior to this problem occurring and ran the Genius update. All worked fine. I then started adding the music back little by little (running the update each time) until the problem returned. When the problem came back I ruled out the specific music added by backing that bit out, verified all was ok and added a different batch back in.
Bottom-line it appears that when my library exceeds exactly 1.208TB the problem appears. Interestingly enough it does not appear to be related to the number of songs, the size of the genius.itdb file (in fact when it was working the file was at 2.25GB - larger than what I reported before). It specifically seems to be related to the size of the overall library - when I have it for example at 1.2079 all is ok, 1.2081 it fails with this error.
I did try moving the library and related files to the external drive but same result. abavetta, I think your suggestion of this script may be a workaround for now - although from what I read, is this not the same that you can do anyway with iTunes by holding the alt/option key open start up? In fact I do have two libraries now - one with the 2TB drive which I use at home and another for 2x500GB disks I carry with me when i travel. I just reported the same back to Apple but doubt if any immediate solution will come for this. Too bad as one of the great things about having such a large library is the mixes you can generate via Genius. Anyway, such is life and will just live with this for now. I also just found this program called Tangerine! http://www.potionfactory.com/tangerine/ which creates playlists like Genius - although through a different technique I might also take a look at.

Just to let all know that may be having a similar problem, what I found by accident to fix this problem.
Reset all my Home Folder permissions using the resetpassword method from the startup utility in Lion. Then turned off/on to reset Genius and cleaned out the cache folder for good measure. Finally after more than a year without, have Genius up and running again.

Need help - Ethernet question for DSL

Hi, hoping someone can help me. We are looking into getting Verizon DSL internet, and don't know if we have the Ethernet specifications. We have a flat screen 17" iMac 1Ghz, Dh said he knows we have an ethernet connection but doesn't know about the card. What Verizon says we need is a "10-Base-T Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC)". How would I find out if we have this? (We are not eligible for the 24hr online chat support and I don't want to pay $49+ for one question)! Thanks,
Erica

Tom & Erica,
You should have very little trouble connecting with Verizon. I have multiple Verizon accounts and they have always been very helpful in getting you set up, even if they need to come out to test/adjust the line-in to your home. You will get a package from them which will include DSL modem, filters, cables and so on.
Don't hesitate to call them for help in setting it up - BUT, tell them at your first opportunity that you are running on a Mac. They will switch you immediately to a Mac person who can walk you thru just about any OS configuration.
And no I don't work for Verizon...Just Kidding
GOOD LUCK
John
Oh, of course you will want to call Verizon and have them test the line prior to/or at the time of your order. They can do that while you are on the line with them and at no charge.

A few questions for Palm T2....

I just inherited an old Tungsten T2, and it really has worked wonders for me for my first week of school, I don't know how I lived without one before. But anyways, here are my questions:
When I put new items into my to-do list, if they are for another day ahead of where I currently am, they disappear, and reappear the day of. Is there a way to show all my to-dos?
Are there other alarm tones & themes I can get for the UI?
Is there anyway that I can use this with my current bluetooth enabled phone? I have tried creating a new connection for the phone section, but it doesn't see my phone, which is wierd because my phone does see it. Is the unit too old to use with my current phone? I have a Casio G'Zone Boulder for Verizon.
Thanks for answering my quesitons!

What is your technical question?

Where does Firefox save UserID for Verizon Mail?

I use Verizon Mail with Firefox. The User ID
for verizon mail is one's email address. However,
if you mistakenly type something else other than
the correct User ID in the box, the computer
dutifully remembers it along with the correct
one! Where does Firefox save these User IDs
for Verizon Mail so that I can kill the incorrect
ones?

Almost. You have to highlite the offending entry
and then HOLD down the Shift Key and then
hit the Delete Key. I found this answer that
works by searching on the web which led me
back to this site. The original posted question
was stated somewhat differently than mine.
Thanks,

Idea for Verizon to calm people down

Here is an idea for Verizon to calm people down. Give each person that you pushed their ship date back beyond the original 09/19/2004 that most of us had due to allowing people to "cut the line" due to the ecdp error that they are claiming a free month of service for their account. That would provide some satisfaction with Verizon allowing this to happen to customers.
You cant open it to everyone though only people that got pushed back not people that got to "cut the line" or had no issue what so ever. it is not like it will cost Verizon either as it would be considered a tax write off on your corporate taxes next year.
Is there any Verizon Rep that wants to step in and discuss this?

I am not saying it is different with other carriers, the issue is that it has been confirmed by CSR's that people that were talking there way into the "cut the line" which ended up pushing people back in line. I congratulate those people for being able to talk their way into it, but Verizon at that point is shafting the people that should have been getting the phone on launch day with no compensation

Centro Updates for Verizon

I was told by the tech person at the local Verizon store that I should update the software on my Centro. I currently have Centro 1.02-vzw on my phone. The sheet he gave me has instructions for the Treo w/wx smartphone and Treo 700p Smartphone. I can't seem to find anything for the Centro online.
Question - is the Treo 700w/wx the same as the Centro? If not, do I really need an update and if so, where would I find it? I hesitate to update with a version for a different unit. Any help would be appreciated.
Slightly frustrated user.
Infocus.
Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

Hi.. Welcome to the Palm forums. The 700w/wx is a windows mobile device, microsoft mobile operating system. Your Centor is the Palm os, totally different operating systems if you ran the 700w/wx update it would be like trying to do a windows update on a Mac, will not work. As for your Centro, the only rom update out is for the sprint Centros nothing for verizon Centros. So at this point there is no update you can do.
