Continued issues with droid charge, Verizon not of any help

Another week, one day I spent 87 minutes on the phone with Verizon Wireless. Many visits to the store, many other long phone calls.  Poor customer service, the Samsung Charge has been replaced again, same problems.  Many people have admitted these problems, from store associates to managers, yet when I speak with Verizon they will not move us out of this phone into something that works, only to lesser, older phones available, some I can't even find on the site.   We are not the only people having problems with this phone and no one will accept the failures that continue to happen with this Samsung Charge.  We have had LG, Motorolla, etc.  My iPhone doesn't give me one bit of problem, nor have our other phones, just this one.  I would think after being loyal customers that they would be more willing to help.  I have only had one supervisor that actually was helpful, as much as he was allowed.  Another supervisor was down right rude, his manager was to call me within 72 hours and has still not called me.  I think we will be foreced to switch carriers and never purchase another Samsung phone product.

I'm not the original poster but found this post while trying to find a solution to my problem.  My problem is the contacts and everything related to them but most importantly, syncing with Microsoft Outlook. 
1)  When I add a contact directly to my phone and mark it as a phone contact and save, it stays on the phone for a few days and then all the "phone" contacts just disappear.  I reinstall them and they disappear again, after another few days.  So, I tried installing them as Corporate contacts and they stayed longer.  Then I started having a different problem.
2)  My corporate contacts are set to sync automatically every day.  Most days the phone is okay but after another few days, I'll look and my contacts have loaded again, the exact same contact is now on my phone twice.  I went to the store and the guy said to just delete the second contact from the phone.  Really, that was his response.  I didn't think it would do much good but I followed his advise.  Everything was fine for a few days...then,
3)  My corporate contacts synced two, three and even four times...the same contact on my phone.  Knowing the guy at the store would just tell me to delete the extra's, I did and guess what...I have the contacts on my phone but they are no longer in my Microsoft Outlook contacts list.  Deleted from Outlook.  I can't get them to sync back to Outlook again. 
If I can get the contacts to reload on Microsoft Outlook, I'll disable the sync program but geezzzeeeee.  I do not want to retype more than 2000 contacts back into Outlook. 
What do I do?

  • Texting issues with Droid charge

    I am having issues with texting also with my Charge among other things. I just got a replacement phone and have already lost multiple messages, or have not had messages go through. The texting function is a major part of my business and this phone is not at all reliable for texting. I even left my replacement phone with no apps loaded, so the problem could not be blamed on anything but the phone.
    I have also had the first phone reboot for no reason, and it would change the screen brightness to lowest for no reason. I am very unhappy with this phone.

    I have just discovered why some text msgs do NOT go through.  If you have caller ID blocking turned ON and subsequently you have added *82 in front of those phone numbers that you want the person to see who you are, the *82 blocks the text msg to those phone numbers because text messaging can only handle 10 digit numbers.   
    OTOH, for what it's worth, if you want to block your caller ID to a single voice-call phone number just put *67 in front of that phone number.

  • Really unhappy with Bold issues with freezing and Verizon not backing products

    I started a discussion on the issues I'm having a few weeks ago, and things are getting worse.  I bought the Bold online just over 2 months ago, and really liked it at first.  I started noticing that it would freeze up and the only button that would do anything is the screen lock button.  When the phone would lock up, pushing the screen lock would shut the screen down, but nothing else; the phone would be totally frozen.  I would have to take the battery out and reset the phone.  This started happening more often, so I decided I would return it, but when I looked at the paperwork, it said that I had just a few weeks after receiving it to return it.  Of course this time had already passed so I can't return the phone. 
    The problem is now happening 3-4 times a day, and usually at the worst possible times.  I'm also having problems with when I place a call, it goes through, but the person on the other end can't hear me. 
    Its pretty sad that a company will take phones back, "repair" them, and sell them as refurbished, but not back them for longer than a few weeks.  I was surprised to be told when I got the phone that insurance wasn't offered on it, and now I know why that is. 
    I've learned to never buy refurbished again, especially if the company doesn't back its product.  My options now are to spend another $200 for a phone on top of the $100 already spent, or move onto another provider.  My wifes contract with Sprint is almost up and we were going to move her to Verizon, but it maybe the other way around. 

        Hello everyone, there recently was a software update for the Bold that was supposed to address a lot of the audio issues.
    If you have updated and are still having audio issues, or any other issues such as freezing devices, please let us know. The new software version is: 7.1 Release 1737 (App: 7.1.0.580; Platform: 5.1.0.429),
    Thank you,

  • Cannot receive email. No issues with sending. Settings not changed. Help?

    Nothing has changed with my email settings and I can successfully log in through webmail. I can send messages through Thunderbird but cannot receive anything. My account is not over its allotted size, so it isn't a space issue. Please help.

    Maybe you need to change something to match a change your provider made.
    Successfully logging into your account on the webmail page just confirms that you know your username and password. The webmail and POP or IMAP servers are two completely different things.
    Do you get any kind of error message?
    Get a current list of server settings from your provider and compare those with what you have in Thunderbird to see if you need to change anything.

  • Frustrated with Droid Charge

    I have the 4G Samsung Droid Charge and I have horrible coverage!  It is so frustrating.  Even with WiFi, the apps stop constantly because of the poor coverage.  We even have that $200 antenna that is supposed to extend our coverage. My husband has the GZone Commando and his phone has excellent coverage sitting right next to mine.  There has to be something I can do.  Anytime I try to play a game or do anything, the apps close.  Is anyone else having issues with the Charge?  I would love to get some suggestions for fixing this.
    <Post moved to the DROID Charge by Samsung from the My Device for more exposure.>

    When I stream movies or play games at work, it is on the charger the whole time.  I ran that speed test this morning and this is what I got – I think this is the problem –
                    WiFi (at home) – Download:  4919 kbps,  Upload: 4193 kbps and Ping: 46 ms
                    Verizon Network (at work) – Download: 1181 kbps, Upload: 122 kbps and Ping: 164 ms
    Wow - I just ran it again at work so it's the Verizon Network and this is what I got:
         "Network communication issues"
    and again:
         download: 4 kbps, Upload: 34 kbps and Ping: 207 ms
    I'm using speedtest.net
    What should it be if I want to play games and stream movies? 
    Last night the game I was playing stopped and had to be restarted 8 times in 15 minutes.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Earpieace / Sound Issues with Droid Razr M

    Having issues with my phone, bought new in September 2012, since yesterday morning. 
    When I make a call using the earpiece, I cannot hear it ringing (like dialing out to them) and after they answer, I cannot hear the person on the other end when they speak.  If I put it on speakerphone, they can hear me just fine and I can hear them.  Also on speakerphone, I can hear it ringing (dialing out).  When receiving a call, my ringtone audibly works, but then the same situation applies once I answer it - I cannot hear they, but they can hear me.  Again, if I put it on speakerphone, both parties can hear each other.  My alarm / ringtone works just fine, as well as all my other ringtone / notifications - such as text, etc.  But, if I try to play a YouTube video, play music through Pandora, or play another audio / video file with sound, it does not produce any sound, even through headphones attached to the jack.  It also plays sound when starting up - the "Droid". 
    Seems like a phone issue considering it is working for some things, but not for others.  I have gone through and checked all settings, tried it in safe mode, did reboots, etc, but all to no avail.  Anyone have any other troubleshooting suggestions, or are having the same problem?  It seems I have going to have to have it replaced - hoping this would be a manufacturers defect replacement though and not something that I should have to use my insurance on!
    Thanks!

  • Issue with ARD 3.0 not pushing out Installs, Says its installing but not

    Issue with ARD 3.0 not pushing out Installs, Says its installing but not
    Has anyone seen this. It seems to happen with ARD 3, have not seen this in ARD 2.
    I go to the Install Packages on Target Computers, put in: 10.4.7 Combo (for the correct CPU, PPC or Intel), security updates, QT 7.1.2, etc.
    Push it to Macs I can connect to, observe and control.
    The progress bar copies the files (in some instances it does not) and then it just hangs there, bar does not move, Installs never finish, not good, very odd.

    Is it the same clients that have the problem every time? Are those clients doing anything cpu intensive? Have you tried rebooting the affected clients?
    Maybe try a smaller package on those clients.

    I have installed the agent 10 or 15 times and one installation has failed, no error appeared during the installation but I am having inconsistent issues with my ethernet card not working here and there. We rebooted and can log into Novell client but the login prompt did not appear for ESM client or the icon was not in the systray. Everything seems to work, besides at times (a couple times today) it terminates his ethernet card/connection. I would re-image his computer but he has several applications and it would take several hours, so I am hoping someone has an idea to fix this issue. So I was trying to figure out why he did not get the prompt to login and why it's not in the systray and it appears to not have completed the install? I checked the add/remove programs, its not listed within their, I also checked the registry and found nothing for endpoint within their, but the files are within c:\program files\novell\zenworks endpoint security.
    I have also tried uninstalling it but that fails due to it "not being installed", and it will not reinstall over itself either.
    I did notice that stuninstdrv.exe is running in task manager. Any help would be great...

    If you are searching the registry, check for the "Senforce" string. It should be at HKLM\Software\Senforce
    Try running the install program for the ZSC with the following command line:
    setup.exe /V"STUNINSTALL=1"
    If you've specified an uninstall password, try this one instead:
    setup.exe /V"STUNINSTALL=1 STUIP=password"" (please note the double quote at the end)
    Let me know if that helped you.

  • I am having issue with iphone 5 bluetooth , not able to connect honda CRV

    I am having issue with iphone 5 bluetooth , not able to connect to my honda CRV

    Don't know if you could consider this an Apple issue. I know you are probably frustrated, and I am not defending Apple here, just saying that the iPhone does not update to support individual automobiles, the automobile manufactures update to support the Bluetooth profiles.The iPhone has the latest Bluetooth stack and supports a number of things. Problems generally revolve around the manufacturer not supporting the lastest Bluetooth version and have to update their systems. Check with Honda, they are probably aware of this, and if you search the forum, you will find a number of posts regarding the CR-V.

  • Is anyone having issues with imessages disappearing or not being delivered?

    Is anyone having issues with imessages disappearing or not being delivered?

    I too am experiencing this on my iPhone 4 after upgrading to 4.3.3. I am fairly convinced that it is a software issue. The last update seems jumpy. There appear to be more pauses and stuttering with screen changes too.  Sometime the button operates perfectely (even with repeated light touches). Other times, it doesn't matter how hard I press; it takes several presses. I notice it more when i am using a battery case or connected to an AT&amp;T MicroCell. I am having a hard time pinpointing problematic apps, although i suspect that mail with my work Exchange account may be a culprit. I suggest posting your issues on Apple's iPhone feedback page, www.apple.com/feedback/iPhone.html, to ensure that they are looking into this problem. If it is a hardware issue, I'll be pretty upset as I received my iPhone 4 on day 1 of availability and it is out of warranty. Hoping for a fix with an update. Please post on the feedback page.

  • Lightroom 4 issues to where I could not view any images or import.

    I was having major issues with lr 4 and not being able to view any images. All I would see is grey squares where the images should've been and they still had the image data when you hovered over them. I could view the images in every other program though. I finally got it to work after installing some windows updates but at the same time I did delete all of my lr 4 develop presets that I downloaded. I was just wondering if the presets could've been causing the issue before I try and re-download the presets again?

    Possibly, download them again and install them in batches to see if the problem recurs.
