How has verizon come along in overlaying LTE on the 3g footprint?

I was reading some pretty old articles this week that said VZW was wanting to have LTE wherever it currently has 3g by the end of 2014. I just switched back to verizon since March, and was wondering how this has come along?

Yes 1900 is what they use for 3G. It's PCS spectrum. Right now they are only going to refarm part of it. Verizon uses 1x or 850 MHz for calls and texting. That won't be refarmed for 5 or 6 years. One would think assuming Verizon gets some 600 MHz spectrum that that would be immensely better than 850 MHz is. Not to mention that 850 MHz will still be used just on LTE not CDMA. I'm not sure why that would be different as far as reliability. I've used their HD voice and when you call someone else that also has it it's WAY better. It doesn't sound like a cell call at all. it's about as close to a old fashioned land line call.

What does it mean when you receive a text on your iphone 6 form your own number and the message is duplicated on each side (sent/recieved) and has "verizon message" with a long number at the end of the text, duplicated as well?

Great question stacybrownie! Let's get to the bottom of this so that it's not a cause for concern. When a message is sent to/from your own number, it will display as one sent, one received. This makes it display two messages as you are seeing. Let's clarify the second part of your question. Where do you see "Verizon Message" exactly? What is the long number at the end of the text? When did this start and is it with all text messages or only this instance?

Has anyone come up with a solution for the WD Passport and Mavericks OSX issues yet?

I was wondering if anyone has come up with a solution for the newer Macbook Pro/Mavericks and external WD Passport not mounting problems?
I have a couple of year old WD Passport that worked fine in my old 2009 Macbook Pro, the problem is the old computer crashed.
My dilemna; My new 2014 Mackbook Pro will not open my WD Passport, called WD Support, their answer, sorry, nothing has been solved.
Is there anyway I can get access to my files on the Passport with any other software, or by using a PC.
I am aware of reformatting the HD, and have read all the forums I could find and have tried installing the WD Update as well, (with the support tech from WD) and nothing works.
I know that my WD Passport works, so please don't suggest checking it, or the cord.
I appreciate all the help anyone can offer, and I am with all the rest of you struggling for solutions.
Thanks so much

Hi everyone, this is what I did
1. upgrade disks to the latest firmware
2. de-install ntfs-3g and MacFuse.
3. Re-install NTFS 3G without Macfuse.
4. Next step: Install OSXFUSE latest version with selection MacFUSE compatibility layer.
5. Last step: Install Fuse Wait
Note: between steps 2 and 5, I restarted my machine.
It worked for me, after about 4 hours.

How has Yahoo! Mail been working for you the last few days?

Has anyone seen any improvements? What about sent mail, has everything actually indeed been sent? Has "push" mail improved? For me I've found all my sent mail has been sent since Monday AM, but I have been power cycling my iphone 2 to 3 times a day(maybe that has something to do with it), as far as "push" mail, still the same for me, sometimes I get the message right away, other times with a delay of around an hour.
Cheers

I don't send much email from my iPhone so haven't noticed any problems with that, but I have noticed Yahoo push working very well (virtually instantly) for the last couple of weeks. I have a job where my phone needs to be turned off on a daily basis and often 3-4 times per day. Take from that what you will...

My iPhoto app has just vanished along with 23,000 photos how do I recover it?

My iPhoto App has just vanished along with 23,000 photos how can I recover i Photo?

If the iPhoto app is still in the applications folder it's possible the library just needs to be rebuilt. Use Apple's instructions in:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2638
If iPhoto is no longer in the Applicaitons folder let us know.

IPhoto asked to upgrade library and has now come up empty even though my iPhoto file is over 130GB. How do I get back my photos?

iPhoto asked to upgrade library and has now come up empty even though my iPhoto file is over 130GB. How do I get back my photos? I am using OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 with Mavericks. My iPhoto is 9.6. I am very concerned as this file has all my photos for the last 15 years!

If the iPhoto Library is still 130 GB large, your photos are probably still inside; perhaps the library has a corruption.
Or the iPhoto Library is on drive, that is incompatible with iPhoto. Where is your iPhoto Library stored?
To check for a library corruption: Ctrl-click or right-click the iPhoto library and select "Show Package Contents". This will show the folders inside the library package.
Are there folders called "Masters" or "Old Masters"?
If there is a folder "Old Masters", you are having a problem with recent bug, that corrupts iPhoto Libraries when upgrading. In that case, it would be best to restore your iPhoto Library from a backup you made before you upgraded to Yosemite.
Or, if no backup is available, copy the "old Masters" folder to a folder on your Desktop and create a new iPhoto library and import the Old Masters folder.
If there is no folder "old Masters" try to rebuild your iPhoto Library with the First Aid tools :
Make a backup copy of your iPhoto Library, but don't overwrite any older backups.
To launch the "First Aid Tools" hold down the options-command keys ⌥⌘ while double clicking your iPhoto Library.
Keep the keys held down firmly until the First Aid panel appears.
Select "Rebuild Database".

Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears? If that doesn't work, try resetting the network settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.
If that fails, you may possibly have damaged the SIM. Verizon will need to give you a new one.
Best of luck.

AFAIK cameras offer their own built-in format utility for inserted SD cards. You should use that. Otherwise, refer to the manual that came with your camera to determine precisely how your SD cards need to be formatted to work properly. Personally, I'd suggest Partition Scheme: MBR, and Filesystem: FAT32.
Try to limit the number of formats you perform on the SD cards, though, as you're reducing their lifespan. I believe formatting causes re-writes to a portion of the SD card that has fewer read/write cycles than the rest of the card as a whole.

Has Verizon gone to the Dark Side when it comes to Rebates?

Tell me it isn't so.. but from my recent experience it appears that Verzon is now willing to sacrifice their integrity by not honoring rebates that are due to the customers who purchaced devices from them. I'm not sure if its their rebate contractor or the company directly who is responsible, but as the consumer, I really don't care.. I just want the rebate I was promised.
I completed the rebate docs per the instructions on the Mail-In Rebates Authorized Agent/Retailer Customers form. I checked each doc and verified it for accuracy. I made a copy of everything that was sent for my records.
In return I received postcards that indicated the intent "NOT" to honor the rebate agreement.
The postcard had an address where I could resubmit my claim, which I did along with another set of the copies of supporting information.
I THEN RECEIVED ANOTHER POSTCARD.... BUT THIS TIME ITS REJECTED FOR A DIFFERENT REASON (UPC Bar Code Missing). It's like I've been dared to take it to the next level....
I checked my docs again and there it was, the UPC looking right back at me.
If I am forced to take it to the next level... I agree it wont be pleasant for me (nor will it be for Verizon)
The decision to buy the phone I did was in part due to this ****** rebate. I am only asking verizon to do what they promised, nothing more or less.

I wish you luck with your rebate. I upgraded in the store only once, that was a year and a half ago and I received the rebate within 3 weeks .I guess I have been lucky because all the mail in rebates I have sent in from all companies I dealt with over the years I have received without incident. Sometimes they were slow arriving but I did eventually received them. I do prefer the online instant rebate however, because that's money you don't have to give to them first and ask for back.

L2TP w/ PSK unable to connect via the phone dataplan, has anyone come across this?

I have been messing around with this on my Galaxy Nexus with Android 4.0.2 and have confirmed the following settings for VPNs to our corprate firewall.
PPTP over Dataplan CDMA -- Everything works fine
PPTP over Dataplan LTE -- Untested due to lack of availability where I live and work, will test at a later date.
PPTP over WiFi -- Everything works fine
L2TP over Dataplan CDMA -- Connection timeout
L2TP over Dataplan LTE -- Untested due to lack of availability where I live and work, will test at a later date.
L2TP over WiFi -- Everything works fine
OpenVPN not supported without rooting the phone -- Verizon please add this functionality into your base ROMs for all of your phones.
The reason I ask about anyone coming across this or having a fix is PPTP may work but it's old/insecure comparitively and may be going away in a future stable tree release of the corprate firewall I work with. The full support of L2TP and/or OpenVPN/SSL-VPN would make life a lot easier for us techs who need to bounce into a server quickly and do what's needed when having a PC at hand is impossible, ie at a sitdown resturant. If you need logs of the connect attempt let me know and I'll get them to you. I did however see this error posted on the Samsung Fascinate forum as well.

As of yet no, they are on my list of people to call but I won't be able to get to that call until a little later, once I do call Verizon Tech support I will reply with the post here if it hasn't been answered by someone who has come up with a workaround on the issue.

Why has verizon's customer service went so down hill

I have had 3 different discussions on the phone trying to get my billing cycle changed to something that works with my new pay periods.
The first person firstly was so rude and insulting and couldn't put the date to exactly what I needed for some reason. The second said something like "so you're not going to pay for your services" when I was asking her to explain what was happening with this extra charge she told me I was getting. She was very insulting again just like the one before.
Three calls and several hours of phone time later I spoke to a very helpful person that filed a complaint for me. I was very appreciative to his help and now I see that we should all do that when we run into these people.
But I think that possible these new rude and insulting employees of verizon may be pressured to be that way or over stressed? I've been a customer along with several of my family members for years and I never used to experience this kind of terrible customer service.
In fact, the biggest reason I personally kept verizon and got my family members to get it was due to their customer service. It used to be great and what it should be as far as I'm concerned. We pay a lot for these phones and they are overpriced as we all know so we should definitely get our money's worth with the phones, services, and customer service.
The finally irritation is the financial services department and how INCREDIBLY RUDE AND INSULTING they have been. I just got sat on the phone again for the 4th time this month and was asked to pay the past due amount of .... well, this amount is not actually past due! I couldn't believe it! I have a past due amount of 30ish dollars due to the change in billing cycles but she put in what is going to do on the 4th! I said that isn't due until the 4th right, and she just sat their on the phone.
Point of that is that I called and took my time 3 TIMES already to explain that the billing date that I needed, needed to be after the 3rd every month. Got it to be the 28th which means it's not late till the 4th. Not what I really wanted, but as close as they said they can get it. So then I have to go over that again with financial services!!!! If it's not due yet, don't be rude to me and ask me for my late payment!!! Actually don't be rude to me ever! So all they needed from me was $30!! That couldn't have waited until my bill was due?????????????? Seriously. I paid it no problem, but I can't believe that I actually received a past due amount call for the whole amount that isn't due yet in the first place or a call at all!!!!!
I'm getting SO disappointed in version!!!!!!!!!! I can't even believe how they are treating their customers these days.
I know they don't care that this one person is possible going to start with a new carrier as soon as possible. These are just people doing a job. I don't think they worry about their sales right now. I do have several people on my account and most of my friends have verizon, and we are all getting sick of this.   I think Verizon should re-think their strategy when training their customer services representatives and their financial services department. They are getting out of line in the way they speak to Verizons valued and long time customers. I used to be a big advocate for verizon too. That has been changing this year for absolutely certain.
Thank you for listing if you are. Thank you Verizon if you read this and help to do something about this increasing problem.

Here is my token to this issue.
I am Verizon customer for years…
In the past, I was upgrading my phones in the Verizon stores…
In the past, our basic phones and plans were not complicated. I had no problems with the devices, plans or services. I had no need to call Verizon Customer Service – lucky me. In 10 years maybe only 5 times I called them.
I can not compare if they were good in the past and now they are bad, or whether or not they are going down hill.
My most extensive experience with Verizon customer service I had last week, when I decided to upgrade my device and service, on-line. I have described my experience with Verizon and I posted last night in the community discussion: Basic Phones.
I understand your dissatisfaction.
I think the reason for this may be as follows:
-        More complicated technology in electronics
-        Many more devices
-        Worse quality of the devices
-        A lot more features to be learned
-        Insufficient training
-        Not enough dedicated staff
Of course, all the above do not justify bad service, undereducated or rude employee.
From the standpoint of psychology, people are starting to be rude when they are not able to give the right answer, or the customer will prove that they have no idea what they were talking about.
I feel that there is no general recipe for good behavior. From the customer perspective, I think we should get a good quality of Verizon service.
On the positive front – the good thing is they are in the U.S. We can hear them, understand the language and we are not exposed to the listening: “I apologize for your inconvenience”, which very often it is impossible even to stop the person from repeating this over and over. This phrase should be eliminated from the customer service vocabulary and replaced by something like this: “Sorry to hear, I will try to help you” (if they are really sorry and feel for us) without any repetition.
