Jest a Heads-Up about cell phones & New Jersey

Come Saturday, March 1st, New Jersey drivers chatting on hand-held cell phones are subject to a traffic stop and a summons carrying a $100 to $250 fine with no points.
New Jersey Division of Highway Traffic Safety Director Pam Fischer said police will have the authority to stop someone for using a cell phone without the past limitation of needing another traffic infraction to pull over a chatty motorist.
Just giving everyone a Heads-up...

Purchased full price Xoom from a local Verizon Store. No contrat. When I inquired about the return policy Sales Rep informed me there would be a 35.00 dollar restock fee. I decided to return the Xoom. Upon returning I was informed the restock fee is 70.00 dollars. Yes the fee was documented on the sales receipt. My fault and stupidity not reading the fine print and placing my faith in th sales rep misinformation. Am I sure that the sales rep did not say 70.00 dollars when purchasing the Xoom? YES. If I knew there was a70.00 dollar restock fee I would have NEVER purchased the equipment. A 35.00 dollar restock sounded reasonable to try a new device, not 70.dollars.
Lesson learned. Always read the fine print. Never believe the sales rep.... they just want to make a sale.
Yes, the $70 restocking fee has been on tablets ever since they were introduced on Verizon back in November.

Source to learn about cell phone programming etc...

Hi, I'm new to forum. I would like to learn all I can about programming, modifying and messing with cell phones ( Droid X would be my preference but would like to learn all). Is there books, a site or anything else that I can buy to learn more? Getting my Droid early next week, I'm a bit excited can you tell!
Thanks Scott

I guess I didn't explain what I wanted to learn correctly. I would like to learn about how to set up, configure, root, and mess around with cell phones (Droid X).

To do those things, you will need to do an internet search for that. We cannot explain here because the forum moderators will remove the information before you can see it.
The owners manual is on the verizon site for download. That will help with the setup part.
Be advised that rooting your phone will nullify your warranty on the phone.

have been a Verizon customer since I got my first cell phone in my 30's - I am 50 now! A year ago, I stupidly opted to get a new phone on the EDGE program because I was trying my first Samsung device and was not sure I would like it having been an IPhone user for years.I was right! Or so I thought.... The Note 3 has been horrible. I am on my second phone(replaced it under warranty) and it still freezes, shuts off on its own, and will not come back on for long periods of time. Having had enough, I decided to EDGE Up to another device. On March 16th I tried to edge up my device online but was unable to. I immediately called to figure out what the problem was. Back in October I had a mix up in my billing where I had set up a payment. It was not done properly by customer service and as a result my line was cut off. I called the EXACT day it went off, filed a complaint about the lack of follow through for my arranged payment, and thought I had it straightened out as the payment was made that same day. That incident, although it was a Verizon error, caused my Edge Contract to be "hotlined". I spent an hour on the phone on March 16th clearing the whole mess up. When the conversation ended, the Verizon representative admitted it was a Verizon error, documented everything, and then told me she was filing a release for the hotline hold that would take a couple of days. Her name was Linda and I stupidly trusted what she said.
The days passed as I prepared to have a major foot surgery and to get my classroom straight before I would be out recovering for 3 weeks. All the time, my Samsung continued to glitch out like it has since I got it! While sitting on the couch recovering, I decided to deal with the phone issue again and EDGE UP. I figured 10 days latter, Linda would have taken care of the issue. Unfortunately, I faced the same problem and was told it was not eligible to edge up at this time. BACK on the phone again, 2 supervisors, 3 customer service reps. ( JOE from New York being the rudest customer service rep. I have EVER worked with) and 4 frustrating HOURS latter, Jason, the equally rude supervisor from Rochester, New York, informed me that Linda gave me BAD information, there was NOTHING he could do, and I am NOT eligible until April 14th!!!!! The WORST experience I have EVER had with a company. They were completely inept, rude, and not concerned about my time, my frustration, or the problems I was facing with their product in the LEAST. I have 4 LINES on Verizon that I am going to talk to Sprint about buying out. It was a horrible experience, and I can NOT believe I have no recourse or anyone to talk to....

Edge has very clear restrictions, one being that you must have 6 months of clean payment history which you don't. Either wait until April 14, or good luck at Sprint.
I am unsure how it can be determined the payment mix up was the fault of CS, but regardless, the mix up was done. There can be any number of reasons why a payment could be missed without any fault on your part, however you are still the responsible party for the account and must live with the repercussions.

How do I change a cell phone number on my iPad. I have a new cell phone number and want to use the iCloud

How do I change my cell phone number on my iCloud account with my iPad? I have a new number and want to activate the iCloud

If you're talking about the phone number on your iPad for iMessage, the number is associated with the ID when you turn on iMessage on your iPhone. If the number is incorrect, try turning off iMessage on your phone, wait a minute or so, then turn it back on.

My MacBook Pro does not recognize my Android Incredible 2 cell phone and I can not transfer my photos from my cell phoen to my Mac. I was able to do this in the past, but can no longer do so. i havenot upgraded to any new software.

My MacBook Pro does not recognize my Android Incrdible 2 cell phone and therefore I can not transfer any photos from my cell phone to my Mac. I was able to do this in the past, but can not do so now. I have not upgraded to any new software. My USB cable is plugged in properly and I just get an error message -- "No Android Device Found". What could be the problem?

I had the same issue with the Galaxy S4 trying to see what the hype was about and was my first and last android phone. With that being said unfortunately it is a hit or miss with the Mac recognizing an android device or not. It worked perfectly fine the first time around and then it stopped working for no apparent reason. Through trial and error nothing I did solved the issue. I did however plug it in my Mac and left it connected for about 30-40 min to charge for a bit and all of the sudden it recognizes the phone. So I just launched Android File Transfer and everything else became fluid after that. I have no explanation as to why it happened that way, but what I gathered from this is maybe you just have to let it sit for a minute while plugged in before the Mac recognizes it, after all they are opposing software. On a side note this is why I will always be an apple user, Iphones and the like never have this problem

New lync contacts default to cell phone for lync call button (part 2)

The problem is that when a Lync 2013 user adds a new contact, and then tries to place a call in Lync, the default option for the Lync call button to that newly added contact is that contact's cell phone (if that contact has added a cell phone number).
The default should be a Lync call, not a cell phone number.
Others (thank you very much!) have answered very similar questions here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/lync/en-US/80fde051-1d3c-495e-aa32-63e93e5e4104/change-the-default-oneclick-audio-call-option-on-lync-clients?forum=ocsvoice

So I understand one possible solution is to: Set-CsClientPolicy -Identity Global -EnableVOIPCallDefault $true
However, here's the odd issue I'm having and why I'm posting: I ran Get-CsClientPolicy across three different, independent Lync servers (all for completely different orgs/domains that are managed separately) that I have access to, and the EnableVOIPCallDefault
is set to false for all of them. However, this problem behavior is only affecting one of the orgs, the other two, when a new contact is added, the call button in the Lync client defaults to a Lync call, not a cell number.
So why, if across three independently managed Lync servers, if the EnableVOIPCallDefault is set to false, would it only be defaulting to cell phones in one? I compared the results of the three Get-CsClientPolicy, and could not find a logical pattern
in any of the settings that could explain.
The only thing that I can think of is that the org that is affected, the line uri is a 4 digit extension, not a full 10 digit phone number. In the other two orgs (including the one that I am a user in), it's a full 10 digit phone number.

EnableVOIPDefault is only the default option for the first click-to-call for a contact, once a different number is selected it becomes the default and the policy has no effect.

I Have Received Two New Defective DroidX Cell Phones From Verizon

On Thursday, July 15, right after midnight I ordered the new DroidX Cell Phone from the Verizon Wireless Internet Website.
I received the new DroidX Cell Phone on Friday, July 16.
The DroidX worked perfectly except that it had Dead Pixels in only the Camera and Camcorder Applications.
I then called Verizon Wireless and they sent me a new replacement Droidx Cell Phone which I received on Wednesday, July 28.
It was great at the time since I received the new replacement DroidX Cell Phone seven days before the anticipated August 03 date.
My new replacement DroidX Cell Phone has a very small dent like a impact hole on the back of the main unit.
I noticed the dent as I was unpacking the new replacement DroidX Cell Phone.
I did not even activate the new replacement Droidx Cell Phone since I noticed the dent right away.
I was assured by Verizon Wireless that I was to receive a new replacement DroidX cell phone.
I then called Verizon Wireless and they are now going to send a another new replacement DroidX Cell Phone which they said I would receive the earliest by August 05.
I do not know how a new replacement DroidX Cell Phone can have a dent on back side if it is totally brand new and not refurbished, although Verizon Wireless assued me agian that they are only sending out new replacement DroidX Cell Phones at this time.
Any Comments?
Jonathan

I take it that the device came in the usual brown box, not in a usual commercial designed box, if so I would say there is a very good chance that it was a referb unit... This is exactly why I decided to wait when they wanted to send me out a replacement when I called about the volume level on my device because I have a fully functional unit with only that low volume issue and I can live with the issue until the fix with a update or get some replacements in the store for a exchange.
I really dont want to give up a brand new device to possibly have a referb replacement, a coworker bought a phone through another carrier and the phone messed up and they reported that they would send out a new one since the device was only a week old, but he got the NEW ONE?? the device still has someones information in it. You really dont have any way to know if the device is a refeb or new one when they all come in the plain brown box.
And if you think about the number of individuals that reported that CS sent them a replacement for one reason or another, you know that they are not short on used units...

Does anyone know about a Lemon Law on cell phones

HHello I would like to know if anyone knows about a 'lemon Law' on new cell phones that have had to be replaced 4 times now. Verizon keeps wanting to send me a Like New Refurbished cell phone. And after going thru so much with these cellphones, I don not want another like-new one. I have the Samsung -s4 and have had nothing but problems with it. I read Verizon contract about replacements and it says that they can send you " A new one, a Like-new refer ones , or ones that is like the first new one. But all I keep getting from then is we can only send you a Refurbished one. Not Cool! I have been going round and round with Verizon for over two weeks now spending hours on the phone not counting the 5 hours I spent in town at the Verizon store. So if anyone could please help me to see how I can go about getting a New Samsung s4 or better instead do someone else's give backs I would be so ever Grateful to you. Agape P. Craig

Hello P.Craig,
I'm definitely saddened to learn of the issues that you're having with your device. We always want your device to meet your expectations. When it comes to replacements under warranty, the manufacturer of your device (Samsung) does offer replacement for the same make/model. I do apologize for the troubles with your device. Although we would be unable to offer a new or alternate device, we may have an alternative option. Have you attempted to reach out to Samsung directly http://bit.ly/VTrvxQ for assistance? Please keep us posted, thanks!

Is your phone still covered by warranty? If so, go to your nearest Apple store and depending on what happened, this may or may not be covered by warranty. If it is, then you can get a replacement exactly as the phone you already have.
If out of warranty, then there is nothing you can do and you'll have to pay.

HT201269 Why isn't my cell phone backing up properly to my laptop? Backed it up three times in two days. I replaced my old cell phone, had to setup as new, then backed up from "last backup" but it didn't work at all. The last backup was available was mo

My cell phone will not back up properly to my laptop. I have tried three times in two days as I knew I was getting my new phone today and wanted to save all my information. The problem is that it backed up very random things like things from my IPod from years ago, and did not back up all the information it should have from my "old" cell phone. Now I am missing almost everything. What happened and can i fix this?

First, make sure you are using the most current version of iTunes 11.1.3 (8). Second, what version of iOS 7 was your old phone running, i.e. 7.0, 7.0.1, 7.0.2? If your back-up was made with a version of iOS that is newer than the version on your new phone, it will not sync. For example, if your back-up was of a phone running iOS 7.0.4, and your new phone was running 7.0.2 out of the box, the back up will not sync to the new phone until it is updated to iOS 7.0.4.

In Dreamweaver 6, I created a new fluid layout. I set up (4) DIVs. In the 3rd div, I changed the font color. The new color shows up on the website when viewed in my computer desktop, but, when viewed in a tablet and a cell phone, the color of the font does not change. It's the same in Dreamweaver's Live view. It shows the new color on Desktop view and not in the cell phone or tablet view. Also, I changed the font itself in one of the DIVs and it shows up in the new font on the desktop view and website viewed thru the computer, but, not on the tablet or cell phone. Can someone please explain. I want to be able to change the fonts and colors for viewing in the tablet and cell phone, also. The fonts were all standard fonts. Sans-erif and Verdana and Arial were tried. Thanks.

I will lock this discussion because of duplicate post.

I have a Verizon LG Versa cell phone, how do I get my contact list from there to my new iphone 4?

I have a Verizon LG Versa cell phone, how do I get my contact list from there to my new iphone 4?

Matt,
   My new iPhone 4 is on the way from Verizon, and I too am moving on from the LG Versa (a poor man's iPhone) so I've researched this. I trust you have been using the backup assistant on the LG phone to backup your contacts? If so, and you investigate the app store you will see an app for doing the same task on you new iPhone. Initially it will take you LG contacts you have backed up at Verizon to their new home on the iPhone.
According to user comments there appear to be a couple of issues with the app you need to be aware of:
   1. It will not automatically backup your iPhone, you will need to initiate updates in the future on your own. and
   2. You will see in the comments, that there have been some issues with length of backup when you add lots of contact photos to your list.
   This coupled with the address book sync from your computer should make your list whole, in fact the move to the iPhone will allow me to consolidate my address book with my cell phone contacts. Then once I remove the duplicates all will be right with the world.
