Getting the shaft because of the KinTWO by Verizon Wireless!!!

I upgraded to the KinTwo just over 30 days ago now. I started calling Verizon re: issues with it almost immediately upon receipt starting with the TWO HOUR conversation I had with tech support trying to get the darn thing activated and uploading my contacts only to be told to take it to the STORE and have them do it. Then I got to go AROUND with the store about the contact switch so that I wasn't charged for it. Then I was so frustrated trying to use it that I actually downloaded and read the user manual (a first for ANY phone I've had since 1998) and it STILL SUCKS!! There is no way to lock the volume control rocker so I am constantly muting the volume on the ringer (even though the screen is locked). I'd had two weeks ago (3 weeks after purchase) when it randomly began shutting off. All the time for no discernible reason!! I have been to two Verizon stores, one Verizon dealer, and called customer service 3 separate times trying to get them to change this *** for ANY other Verizon phone. I was even willing to add data and upgrade to the iPHONE!!! Still I got told that my options were to either buy a phone at full retail price, pay $170 to deactivate the phone and walk away from Verizon all together OR add a line to my plan @ $10/month and get a new phone at the 2 year price and put the old phone in a drawer somewhere. I finally thought I might have some help with my final call to customer service last week when I nice lady named Debbie said she would speak to her manager and see if there was something she could do to help. She said the mgr. was in a meeting, but that she would call me back in the next two hours. THAT WAS A WEEK AGO!!! Thanks DEBBIE for NOTHING!!!
Why do they even sell the Kin Two anymore? What happened to the 30 day thing? Verizon is HARDCORE that they wouldn't do anything for me when I hadn't had the phone for 30 days!!! I cannot believe the way they treat good customers. Wonder what they do to the people who don't pay? Boiled in oil is my guess....

Good point,
I think the wireless customer service must be separate from the rest of verizon because they dont seem to care about customer service.
I never got a return call a few times.. and just gave up..
Reading your post makes me think twice about their unresponsiveness two years ago.
Good luck, martin

Interesting db mail issue. If i click send test mail from sql mgmt studio, it works fine, but when i execute a SP to send a mail, it fails. One thing I noticed is that the "LastModified" column in the mail log shows the domain account when a test
mail was sent from mgmt studio, but show "sa" when the SP was used to send mail.
This is from SQL 2012, did not see this in sql 2008, looks like 2008 always used the service account. any ideas ?
Get this error:

Thanks.

Hi Ranga,
I also use SQL Server 2012. I send a test email through SQL Server Management and the last modified By “sa”.
If you used stored procedure to send a test email. Please use the command below:
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail
@profile_name = 'Adventure Works Administrator',
@recipients = '[email protected]',
@body = 'The stored procedure finished successfully.',
@subject = 'Automated Success Message' ;
I can both send test email through SQL Server Management Studio and SP. Make sure you have the right profile. Since you could send test mail via SQL Server Management Studio, please try again to send it via SP.
Thanks.

Do I have to back up the data of my macbook white unibody if I am changing the screen because of the crack problem at the the back of the screen?

They told me to bring it to the genius at the apple store. They will change it for free but I don't have any physical place to back up my computer, they said it will take a coupe of days. I am not really sure if I have to back it up.
Thank you.

The RAZR - Now with V CAST from Verizon Wireless

Does anone know if this (The RAZR - Now with V CAST from Verizon Wireless) syncs with iSync? I don't see it here
http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/isync/devices.html
but I think the model is new.
thanks
roger

There's a link on the howardforum board (see the hotlink in the above posting) to a site where you can download a new .plist (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=9PH5DVRU) I replaced the iSync .plist with the downloaded file and restarted my iMac.
(the howardforum board has directions for "showing" the .plist in Applications; right click on the iSync application).
iSync immediately recognized my phone via BLUETOOTH and I synched all my contacts wirelessly. I too bought the USB cable but never got it to work wired with iSync and don't need it now.
The download also has a .TIFF of the RAZR, so your iSync panel will have an icon for it.
Took a little trying (I am not used to this level of tinkering) but once I restarted the Mac, voila, no probs.
PS - I am talking about the Verizon RAZR V3c. Good luck.

Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school enviroment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
 Cheers, Tom

Trying to transfer data to my new Macbook Pro? My current Pro has Lion from last week, but my new Pro came with Snow Leopard. When I connected firewire it said I can't transfer the data because of the OS conflict, what can I do? I downloaded Lion?

I don't have the CD for Lion, I downloaded it on line through the store! I'm at a loss...

We need a little more detail to be really helpful.
Did you download and install Lion on the new MB Pro?
If you didn't that is probably the problem you can migrate from older to newer OSes but not the reverse, so if the new MB Pro is still on 10.6 that's likely the problem.
If you downlaod Lion on the new Pro, you might want to stop the install that starts a automatically and follow these instructions to make a bootable DVD.
If Lion is sucessfully installed on both machines then I'm not sure at this point what the issue is.

Will app sizes increase across the board because of the new iPad?

After the release of the new iPad on Wednesday, most apps figure to update their capabilities accommodate the new iPad's boosted resolution. And it appears that this process will result in an appreciable — if not significant — increase in app size. For example, Apple's Find My Friends app has gone from 14MB to 18MB in an update optimized for the new iPad Retina display. GarageBand went from 768MB to 801MB. Obviously, for users who download lots of apps (like me), these app size increases represent a strong argument against purchasing a new iPad with the minimum capacity of 16GB. What do you think?

People seem to be focusing on the size creep in apps, however, this is likely to be functionality driven more than due to the display for most apps. The real driver that I have found wrt storage space is videos. Now with the new display it is likely that people will move more to HD videos from iTunes, etc.. and this will be what drives the increase in storage required.
If your photos are compressed JPEGs then what you'll have to think about is how many videos you want to carry. There is also the possibility that with the new screen resolution that people start to store pictures at higher resolutions also which might drive storage.
Either way HD is a canny move by Apple as it will ultimately drive revenue growth through iTunes ;-)

Re: The ongoing saga of text issues with Verizon Wireless

Question, has this problem only occured on smartphones? If so, I'm wondering if you've tried the oh so painful factory data reset, then leave the phone mostly "stock" to see if it happens? A basic tenent of troubleshooting is to try and find a common denominator...wondering if you have a preferred app that may be causing you issues.

mrpearsoy,
Thank you so much for your insightful commentary. I am curious to know your credentials that support your statements, how long have you worked for Verizon or with cellular networks?
#1. Maybe I will come by your favorite dining establishment and take a bite of your meal since, well you still get 95%. I don't believe that Verizon will accept 95% of my payment.
#2 Do a little more research, there are far more people experiencing the issue that you suggest. Far more than your 2 to 3 pages.
#3 If I wanted a phone and just a phone I would have bought a plain old phone. It is not a phone and Verizon themselves don't market as just a phone. It is in fact a productivity tool, a media tool, and a whole lot more.
#4 Yes I have used ALL of those phones and then some. I have a dozen phones that are worthy of service, and probably 20 more that are too hold to run on today's networks.
In the future you would be better served to keep your ignorant comments to yourself. I didn't ask for a troll I asked for some assistance with the issue at hand.
And I provided assistance, based on what you told us. And no, I am not a VZW employee. This is a peer to peer forum. Its unfortunate that you arent competent enough to realize that my comments were not ignorant. It was based on information that YOU the original poster, provided. However, I did know in advance that you would have something SMART to say seeing as how I shot down your post. Im sure others would have as well, but nobody else took the time to post on your post, because they know that you are just complaining for the heck of it. I hope you do indeed now pay your etfs and post. More bandwith for others texts to go through. Troll, INDEED! Clown.

Mac OSX NOT GETTING IP ADDRESS BECAUSE OF THE DHCP(FINAL FIX)

You may get some errors when trying to connect to the wireless connection.
LIST OF PROBLEMS:
-Auto-Assigned IP with 255.255.0.0 Subnet Mask and a 169.x.x.x IPV4 Address
-Unable to renew the DHCP beacuse the DHCP doesn't send the IPV4 address to your iMac/MacBook
-No IP
FINAL FIX:
-Log to the Router Configuration page inserting the default gateway address in your browser bar(It should be 192.168.1.1 though my default gateway is 192.168.0.1.....nevermind).
-Go to DHCP tab and make sure that DHCP is ENABLED
-Go to Wireless Settings and set Channel to "1" and the Wireless mode to 802.11 bg(In some routers it's 802.11 bg mixed)instead of 802.11 bgn or 802.11 n.(IN SOME ROUTERS THERE'S ONLY .11 and not 802.11....that's the same s**t though!)
-Reboot your router
-Shut down your machine and unplug the power cables
-When done press once the power button
-Re-Plug the power cables and turn on your MacBook/iMac
-Go to Network Settings,Advanced settings,TCP/IP and set IPV4 address to DHCP
SOFTWARE FIX(FIREWALL CONFLICT):
-Disable ANY non-Apple firewall or network management application such as mDNS responder,etc..

Great work, nice info, thanks!

I am planning to buy a iPod in America and bringing it back to Ireland and buying an Irish wall plug for the iPod, will this damage the battery because of the different voltages used?

I am buying it in new York and brining back to Ireland

You can even use a wall plug bought in the USA in Ireland. The USA charger will accept eith 117 or 220V input. All you need is an adapter to convert from the USA flat plug to an Irish style plug.
