Fios is in my building - so why doesn't Verizon know that?

Last month Verizon installed Fios in my 8 unit condo and currently has one of the unit owners outfitted with and paying for service. Upon install, the engineer told my fellow condo association trustee (the one with the service) that the building was now ready for all other units to schedule service.
So I called to schedule my install. I have had three discussions with Verizon customer service reps in the past week: Mark, Colleen, and Miss Belle (apparently no one has full names.) The issue is that the Verizon "systems" indicate that our address is blocked. This is clearly not true given that someone in the building is currently paying for service. On 11/30 I was told that a request was being submitted to an engineer who could verify and allow install. Today I followed up, and once again the system has no new information about this situation since last week.
The final word from customer service is that they have submitted the engineer request. They have no ability to follow up on this request. There is no way for me to follow up on it either. When I asked if I should call customer service back in a week, I was told no, it was out of their hands, and with the engineers. "I might see a service unit stop by my property at some point." Nor can they provide me with any timing on when said engineering department may get back to me.
I asked Miss Belle if I could speak to a manager, however there are none on staff at 5:30p on a Friday for the entire customer service department at Verizon. She took down my contact information - I'm sure someone will get right back to me.
Verizon, you have already outfitted our building. Myself and 6 other residents are trying to give you our business, which is already provided to my neighbor 20 feet down the hall. Because this is the only other way I can figure to submit this request after my so far customer service dead ends, if at all possible I would highly appreciate someone further looking into this issue. {edited for privacy}

When saving files from the internet, why doesn't Firefox 'know' to put .jpg files in "Photos" and pdf files in "Documents"?

When saving files from the internet, why doesn't Firefox 'know' to put .jpg files in "Photos" and pdf files in "Documents"? IE always saved photos in the "Photos" file and documents in the "Documents" file. Firefox makes me choose every time. Very annoying.

How about if Firefox is programmed like IE in this ONE thing...
When saving files from internet sources, if the file ends in a typical photo extension such as .jpg, .bmp, .tif etc. it defaults to save it in your PHOTOS folder.
When saving anything like a .doc, .pdf etc. it defaults to save it to your DOCUMENTS.
You could still change it to 'desktop' if that if really where you want all your photos and documents... or some other folder that you decide, but DEFAULTS to the LOGICAL folder.
I have carpal tunnel SO bad that even typing this suggestion is painful and having to make the extra click along with moving the mouse EVERY time I want to save something is painful.
ALSO, I shouldn't need a bunch of ADDONS to accomplish this. I tried downloading one and it did nothing. The problem still exists.

Why doesn't Firefox see that I have Flash loaded on my computer?

Blkid - Why doesn't it mention that it needs elevated privileges ?

Hello,
I was wondering why blkid doesn't inform you that it needs root privileges for it to run ? If I don't give it root privileges it just outputs nothing. Is it the way it is coded and that exception isn't handled properly ?
For eg - if I run pacman as a normal user it throws an error asking you to elevate the privileges --: "error: you cannot perform this operation unless you are root."

blkid can be used as a regular user, it just does something else:
man blkid wrote:Note that blkid reads information directly from devices and for non-root users it returns cached unverified information. It is better to use lsblk --fs to get a user-riendly overview of filesystems and devices.
This isn't too uncommon, wireless scanning works the same way.
EDIT: crossposted with the above. But I do not get a cache generated during boot either. The output for me is empty until I run blkid as root. Wormzy, I gather you have some service that runs this at boot up.

TS3899 Why doesn't an email that's deleted on my iPhone (gmail) delete on my iPad ?

I have an iPhone 4 using gmail. When I delete an email on the phone why doesn't it delete on my iPad ? All incoming email syncs fine. Deletions don't sync. What am I doing wrong?

You must be using a gmail POP account. This type of account does not keep devices in sync. Each device retrieves emails from the server independently of other devices. If you delete on one device, that has no effect on the others.

Why doesn't Verizon allow retirees from state employment to continue to receive discounts?

I worked for the state of Texas for 25 years. I am now disabled but being paid by the State of Texas' Employee Retirement System as a continuing "disabled employee". Verizon (customer service) doesn't recognize this as a valid form of state employment; therefore I am losing my discount. WHY? It seems contradictory that a continuing employee - or retiree from employment should continue to receive benefits. If not through state employment; why not as a disabled person? I just think Verizon is not being fair with a discount they should be providing.

People need to understand whether your employer offers a discount and how much that discount is is up to your employer not Verizon. Verizon has nothing to do with whether Texas wants to give retirees discounts. Considering what party runs your state is should not be shocking that neither retirees or disabled people get anything. 1/4 of your state is uninsured that's all you need to know about how your state is run.

Why doesn't verizon offer IMAP?

how come verizon fios customer's can only get pop email and no imap support?

According to their response to this idea in the Idea Exchange:
Status: Not Likely
We have strategically chosen POP3 Email architecture to minimize storage costs. Please know that each master email account has 2GB of storage and if the user does not POP their email, the email is accessible from anywhere with internet access via myverizon.com.
You are welcome to vote for the idea, but Verizon doesn't seem to be interested in IMAP.

Why doesn't Verizon FIOS offer more free movies

Take a look at Comcast's offerings in free movies. Verizon give you next to nothing. They even charge $2.99 for 25 year old movies. One time I saw an old movie offered ON Demand for $2.99 and the SAME movie was playing on a free Verizon movie channel.

I agre about the lack of free movies on Verizon OnDemand. I stick with FIOS because it's got great picture quality even for non-HD tvs, and it's a good value. But OnDemand has been a big disappointment. Slowly Verizion is adding new channels to OnDemand - like Adult Swim, TBS, TNT, AMC etc. But it is extremely lacking in the free movies On Demand compared to Comcast.
I had the Movie Pack for about 8 months and cancelled it because there were only a couple of shows I liked on Showtime and once you work through all the movies you want to see on a service, 90% of them are repeated over and over again on the other channels. We're switching to HD now and there are a couple of more movie channels on it so hopefully we'll get some more content.

Why doesn't Verizon approve the Nexus 5?

I just got done chatting with Verizon support. I was trying to decide whether to buy the Nexus 5 but they said it hasn't been approved for the Verizon network. Is there a technical reason for this or just a "business decision" (aka disagreement with Google) or both? I've read endless blog posts and comments but am interested to know the official reason. What would happen if I try to activate the phone via MyVerizon?

Maybe it doesn't support it because Verizon said no thanks. did you hear the debacle on the Nexus 7 tablet that Verizon chose not to sell after Google announced it would be available on Verizon? Maybe this is more about Verizon making secret deals with Apple to help protect it's sales. Really, the only distinction from Apple to Android, is that if it's not a Nexus device, it gets updates filtered thru the device manufacturer and the carrier. But Apple doesn't get this filter, and neither does Nexus devices, so it stands to reason. Remember VZ Navigator on non-Nexus devices? Really Verizon, if Apple can't make a better map navigation tool (remember the debacle with iPhone 5 and Google maps?) then why do you think you can do better than Google? some opf my money I pay to Verizon goes to them developing stupid apps like VZ Navigator that don't even get used and just suck up space and resources on my phone! Kicking Verizon to the curb and heading to T-Mobile. The more customers that switch, the better the network will get on T-Mobile. Then Verizon will change it's tune when it's not number one.

Why doesn't Verizon tell you about "Plan B" when your phone is stolen?

They pretty much want to disable the phone as soon as it's stolen, but there are options for locating it (though I wouldn't go there without a police officer).
Could possibly have retrieved my DroidX and friend's IPod Touch if they'd been more forthcoming. Instead, looks like they are just trying to sell more phones on the backs of petty thieves.
(Plan B is at https://market.android.com/details?id=com.lookout.labs.planb&feature=search_result&rdid=com.lookout.labs.planb&rdot=1, BTW.)
Also recommend getting "Where's My Droid" --- helps you find phone if you just misplaced it, and gets GPS coordinates if it's been lost or stolen.

While you do make a good point, it's not quite the Black Helicopter scenario you'd like to think it is....(But since it's a popular pastime to make Evil conjecture about those that think differently than we do, go ahead and indulge yourself....)
It is Verizon's policy to NOT officially support the 3rd party apps available in the various App Markets. Part of that is to absolve themselves of the liability brought on by bad apps causing havoc on your phone (they do exist, I know). The other part is to not show certain favoritisms to various app developers, of which there are thousands. Hell, for a long time, that's why AT&T (if I understand what I read a whikle back) didn't carry Android phones because they didn't want to allow 3rd party apps on their phones. I don't know Apple's official policy on apps for the i-Whatevers, but Apple does vet out the app they allow pretty seriously.
At least, this is how I have interpreted the various explanations on the subject.
Right or wrong, there's your answers (among others). And I do agree with your point. It would help us locate a certain grandson's missing Samsung phone at the moment...

Why doesn't itunes see that my ipod is a video ipod?

Hi,
I am getting really annoyed with this. I have always used a photo ipod 30GB, but I now have a video one. However when I try to add videos to the ipod itunes tells me that not all songs were added to the ipod because they cannot be played on this ipod.
Also, when I go to preferences the video area is greyed out.
What can I do?
I have reinstalled the software, and itunes itself. I have restored the ipod, updated it to 1.1.1, and I have looked through all the online tutorials, but I still can't do it.
My friends ipod also has the same problem on my PC.
WHY?
PLEASE, PLEASE HELP - I'm going out of my mind!

Hi mattweb,
Windows is probably confusing your iPod with a USB network device. In this case, definetely try assigning your iPod a different drive letter.
If "My Computer" recognizes your iPod, then try performing the steps below:
1 - Don’t plug in your iPod yet.
2 - Go to "START -> Control Panel -> Admin Tools (if you don't see this, click on "classic view" button on the left panel) -> Computer Management."
3 - Click on the "Disk Management" button in the left panel area.
4 - Now, with "Computer Management" and Control Panel windows opened, reset your iPod, and connect it.
5 - Right-click on your iPod's listing there (after a few moments when it gets recognized in this drive window), and click on "Change Drive letter and Paths". Then the "Change..." button.
Here's what it should look like:
Assign your iPod the letter "M" "N", "O" or the like (further along in the alphabet).
For more details, see this article:
Windows confuses iPod with network device / Changing drive letter
I hope this helps you,

Why doesn't Verizon offer any Contacts backup solution for prepaid customers?

So I used to be on a contract plan, had my branch office close down, went out of work, and ended up having my contract lapse (this was a couple years ago). After all the monthly service charges for two lines mounted up before Verizon actually shut off the service, combined with early disconnect penalties and the like, the final bill was like $1100.
I wasn't about to pay this, so I ended up switching to a prepaid plan. I understand that prepaid services naturally will carry certain limitations and restrictions of service as compared to contract plans, but one of the most absurd and ridiculous limitations is having no way to backup contacts, whether in general, or when switching devices (particularly from Android to Apple, or vise versa).
As soon as I switched to prepaid, the Backup Assistant feature designed exclusively to backup contacts stopped working. To add, the Verizon Cloud service is not available for prepaid customers. You would think as small as a vcf namecard file is to backup, that either 1) Verizon Cloud should be accessible to prepaid customers, maybe not to the extent of backing up photos, etc., but at least to backup contacts, or 2) enable the original Backup Assistant feature for prepaid customers to backup contacts.
I'm now switching from an Android device to an Apple device, and Verizon is offering me no solutions to backup my contacts, other than a customer service rep telling me I could try taking both devices in to a store to see what they could do, but promised nothing in regards to them actually being able to do it. Android to android is simple, as you can export your contacts to an external SD card, and then import them back in via the external SD. But when switching to apple device, you can't do that. There's also no indication I could import contacts from Gmail to an apple device.
Even after getting gouged with an $1100 collection debt from Verizon due to an unfortunate loss of job, I stayed loyal to them, continue to reach in to my pocket and send them money every month for the last 2 years on prepaid, yet I can't even backup my contacts? It's completely absurd.

if you have an iPhone you'd just do it through iCloud( I ssume ) and if you have Android you'd just do it through your Google account

Why doesn't iTunes know when I've listened to a podcast on my iPhone?

Hey Guys
Here's a problem that's always plagued my apple experience. Today I downloaded and listened to several podcasts at work. When I came home itunes has no reccord of these podcasts ever being downloaded or ever listened too. I hate it!!!!
I don't know if I'm missing something here but it's kind of a pain in the but because I have to manually go into itunes and "mark them as played". I'd really like it if I listened to a podcast on any of my devices, they would all talk to eachother. That's one of the detials I'e always liked about apple is that all their pieces work well together, except this.
Does anyone know of a solution?
Thanks
Alex

Select setup as "New", the next screen should prompt you to rename your phone. Just name it what you already have it named. After that, you should be able to sync/backup and all of your data & settings will still be exactly as you've already set them up on your phone. That message is more threatening than what really happens.

Why doesn't Verizon do something about their tech support?????

Verizon Tech Support is definitely outsourced to call centers outside the country. They are quick to offer an apology to your problem, but they make it very apparent that it is your problem. If you do not do exactly as they instruct you to do, they will happily close out your ticket, and your problem still remains unsolved. I have been through the ringer with them on more than one occassion about the same exact issues. Each time that I call, I have to go through the same song and dance, eventhough it is the exact same issue that I have contacted them about before, and the issue is clearly on their end and not on my system. On one occassion, I sat and argued with a gentlemen in Mexico that my issue wasn't fixed. They said it was fixed. I said it wasn't, and I would loose my DSL connection while I was on the phone with him. Another instance, they disconnected my DSL because I have dry loop service and my home line did not have a dial tone, so the techs came out and disconnected everything. Tech support was a joke then as well. I was on the phone for several hours trying to convince them that it was an issue on thier end and not mine.They claimed that I had to be home for the repairman to come out, but I did not have to be home for them to come out and disconnect it in the first place. Because I would not go through all their trouble shooting steps, they would close my ticket out and my problem would remain my problem until I would call them again. It took an act of God for them to come out and get things reconnected again. I actually feel physically ill now when I have an issue with my DSL because I know what it will entail just to get the trouble ticket set up. I have had the operators claim that we have a bad connection (after being on the phone with them for over an hour). They claim that they will need to call you back, but then they never do. When I call back and check on the status, guess what, my trouble ticket had been closed out.   This past instance, I called and complained about a slow connection. The same exact issue that I contacted them about over a month ago. After going through the song and dance again, they claimed that someone would call me back in 24 hours, and no one has. I have complained to the FCC and the State Corporation Commission on more than one occassion, but it seems as if it just business as usual for Verizon. {please keep it relevant} I think that is the only way that they will get the message that what they are doing just isn't going to cut it anymore, and they need to make some changes. I have cut my home phone line with them because of their lack of service. If I had an alternative to DSL available to me in my neighborhood, I would gladly take it so I could finally severe all ties to that company. There has to be something better than business as usual.

{please keep it relevant} I contacted tech. support on Sunday about my slow internet connection. I was pulling 52 kbits/s on a 3M service. This is the second time that I have had this issue. The last time I contacted tech support about this issue was about a month ago. I went through the same song and dance without any resolution.  Somehow the next day, my connection was corrected and I was getting my 3M service again.
This lasted for a month. I called Sunday, 10/11/09 about a slow connection again, Same issue, only able to get 52 kbits/s. Yet, I had to set through the same old song and dance with Verizon tech support. We did things like clear my internet explorer cache and cookies and run a speed test, when I already told the foreign gentlemen on the other end of the line what my connection speed was. How is that going to help improve my connection speed????? At the end of it all, I was told that I would be contacted by a senior tech support specialist from Verizon within 24 hours. Sure as the sun shines, it is now Tuesday, 10/13/09 and I have yet to hear anything from the senior Verizon tech. support..   The kicker is that I am not at all surprised by this. This is now the norm for Verizon. Yet, I still pay my bill. I am still under my contract.
I am going to make a prediction. Next month about this exact same time, I will be contacting Verizon with the exact same complaint, a slow interner connection, and I will have to go through the same old song and dance and have to do things like re-boot my modem and clear my internet explorer cache and cookies and run a speed test, eventhough I have told the foriegn guy from tech support that I have already done all this. Then, they will promise that someone from the senior tech support from Verizon will give me a call back within 24 hours and I will not hear from anyone.
