I have the above Rapid Charging Stand and it is excellent but be aware that the PlayBook will not sit on this with a case. In that case you may wish to consider the Rapid Travel Charger available at a similar price. More bulky than the original charger but none the less a great product.

Incorrect Data Overage Charges on my wife's phone after forced to tiered data

My billing cycle starts on the 1st of the month. I upgraded my wife's phone from a Droid X to an iPhone 4S on 7/2. I was told at that time that she would lose her unlimited data and be placed on a 2gb tiered data plan at the same price. Fine for her since she has never gone near 2gb in several years of smart phone use. I never set up wifi on her old phone since she had unlimited data and it wasn't a concern for me. Once getting switched to the new plan I set up wifi so when she is at work or at home she is automatically connected to wifi for her data usage. Looking at the usage report on verizon's bill for her old phone she used 1071mb for June which was actually a high usage month for her but still nowhere near 2048mb (2gb). Her first month on her new data plan she used 795mb according to the Data Usage Report (which they conveniently don't give a total for) which I exported to Excel and added the column. Then for August's bill the usage report for her phone totals 440mb. On the August bill they show an "Unbilled Usage from Previous Months" bill for $10 on top of the $30 we pay for the 2gb Data Plan
July Data
August Data
I like how they show an exact usage on my phone which is still on an Unlimted Data Plan but her's which is on a Tiered Data Plan they just round up conveniently to the next GB. Even if you add up there Unbilled and Current Usage it only adds up to 2048mb which is the limit. So she did not exceed it!
I called in and complained about the bill and the first CSR was trying to hand me off to a Tech Support saying the charges are accurate.
I told her this is a Billing issue not a Tech issue and I would like to talk to a Supervisor. After several minutes of arguing about the charges with the Supervisor he said he could credit the $10 back to me since he didn't want to continue arguing with me. I told him I will just be in the same boat next month and having to dispute the false charges all over again burning more of my time. I told him I would like to cancel my NFL Mobile on my phone at this time since my bill is so high and we got to talking about football which calmed both of us down. Then I pleaded my case again about the bill which he eventually could see the issue and agreed that there is some sort of billing issue going on.
Just wanted to put this up so that if someone else is in a similar situation that they know this is not ok and others are being billed in-accurately as well.
I have attached the spreadsheets straight from Verizon's site so you can tally them up for yourself as well and see that my wife only used 795mb of her allowed 2048mb (2gb) plan and was being charged overage charges. This is a pretty good gimmick since if you do this to even a couple 100k customers it would add up quickly to millions of dollars...
I am completely fed up with Verizon now after being with them for 15+ years, I was not happy about the non-grandfathering anymore of unlimited data and now being wrongfully billed for data overage charges when she didn't go over her allowed usage.
I am thinking of making a FCC and BBB complaint to see if I can get out of my contract with them.

For someone who spends soo much time on this forum I would expect you to know more about what you are talking about
My wife's wifi radio is always on and her phone DOES automatically connect to our wifi and her work wifi as soon as she is near it. I can videotape it if you need more proof.(don't understand your point anyways as even according to Verizon's usage report she did not come near 2GB of data)
If you read my very first sentence I state that my billing cycle starts on the 1st of the month and the phone was purchased on the 2nd (don't understand your point anyways)
I state in my original post that Verizon rounds up the data on her phone to the nearest GB instead of giving an exact amount used on the bill (so thank you for pointing out the obvious)
Point being, she used 440mb and we were charged data overage charges of $10 and I am sure that this is not an isolated incident.

Playbook only works with charger or USB cable despite batter showing 100% charge

After 2 years of faithful service, playbook only works with charger or USB cable despite batter showing 100% charge. As soon as the cable/charger is unplugged, it just switches off. When cable is plugged in again, and start button pressed, it reboots. I have reinstalled sftwer from scrathc via Desktop Manager, but the problem persists. I saw this problem raised in the fora several times, but never any explanation why it happens. Any ideas?
Solved!

A high resistance between battery lead and motherboard would allow trickle charge but not power discharge.
If you want to risk it, prise off the back of the playbook using an old credit card, locate the two screws holding on the battery lead, remove, clean up, then replace. replace back carefully as the antennae connectors are pressure pads.

Is it safe to charge iphone with HTC charger?

I'm in travel now and I haven't access to my charger. is it safe to charge my iphone with HTC or sonyErricson charger. the cable connector is with me.

Hey I have done this in person it works but only if you have a mophine iPhone battery case then you can use the htc charger on the case's mini USB port and it actually charges the case and the iPhone! The case only works for 4&4s devices.
The above is a method I currently use, any other working methods would be nice to know as I also have this question.

I get my magsafe 2 60w is it safe to charge macbook pro retina 15 pouces

It's not a good idea to use a lower wattage power supply than what the machine shipped with. The 15" comes with an 85 watt adapter and that's what you should be using. You can go in the other direction with no problem, like using an 85 watt on a machine that came with a 60. If I were you, I go get the correct charger.

Is it safe to charge iPhone 5 in the car?

I just got the new iPhone 5 in white!! And I'm wondering if it is safe to charge it in your car. I've had android Phones in the past that had major battery issues and sprint thought that maybe it stemmed from the fact that I would charge them in my car. Granted I also used really cheap car chargers In the past with those android phones. it seems like thats one product apple itself doesn't make, so I'm wondering if it would be safe, and what brand of charger would you recommend, if any at all, thanks! liz
On another note, has anyone Experienced problems sending picture mail through MMS, mine just won't do it.

likely they were just guessing
when it comes to charging then the only! thing that matter is the volt level
if one charge a device which was made to charge by 5volts with 12Volts it's big trouble
nothing else can give issues

As output voltage is correct, charging is safe. It will charge about twice as fast as compared to its own charger.

Is it safe to charge ipad in Europe on converter

Is it safe to charge an ipad in Europe on a converter?

You don't need a converter to charge iPad in Europe. It is able to charge on either 220 or 110. What you do need however, is a plug converter, which would let you plug your iPad power charger into a plug in Europe.

Safe to charge iPhone 4 from surge protector being powered by 1000w generator?

Is it safe to charge my iPhone 4 from a generator (1000w) on an extension cord. My USB adapter is plugged into a surge protector from the generator.

If it's a third-party accessory, nobody here can be 100% certain if it will work safely.
The only way to find out is to try it yourself, but do so at your own risk.
I would suggest looking online for reviews of your exact product to see what others say about the charger.

Safe to Charge on PS2?

Is it safe to charge my iPod on my PS2?

You could, but you would have to have your PS2 on in order to charge the ipod, so unless you will be doing a lengthy gaming session, it would be pretty hard on the PS2 to run it as a charger, since it's fan would be running even if it was just sitting there.
I would say you'd be better off with a cheap 3rd party usb charger. I got one that has both usb and FW ports for about $20.

Is it safe to charge my iPhone 6 Plus with a 5.3V / 2.5A battery pack?

I have a 13,000mAh mobile charger with two usb outputs. One with 5.3V / 1A, the other with 5.3V / 2.5A
is it safe to charge my iPhone 6 Plus with the larger output or should I avoid it? Thanks!

The USB spec says that a USB port must provide 5 volts +- 0.5 volts, or 4.5 volts to 5.5 volts. So 5.3 volts is OK and within spec. As Rudegar says, the current is irrelevant as long as it is at least 1 amp. More is better, up to 1.6 amps for a 6 series phone. Above 1.6 won't do any harm, but won't help either. BTW, the max that a 5 or earlier iPhone can use is 1 amp. Again, more won't hurt, but won't help either.
