JMenu hides under JTextPane

Hi there,
Does anyone know how to solve this problem??
It's all in a JFrame, the menu works fine, apart from the tin problem that you cannot see it.
Kind Regards,
Thomas
PS. does anyone know of a really good site for sharing Java files and programmes?

Thanx!
Turned out it was actually the ScrollPane that had to be changed to a JScrollPane, nevertheless your reply got me on the right track, so U get the Duke.

Hello Melliska,
I am trying to fix the same flash menu issue that you had. It
currently works in IE but not Firefox. I can not seem to figure it
out though.
Here is my code.

Any help would be great. :)

Safari top of page hides under browser bar?

Every time I go to a webpage (Facebook as you can see here) for some reason the top of the page is hidden under the top of the web browser search bar. I just got my MAC this past week and installed the latest update. I didn't have any problems before doing so. Also, it only happens when I full screen the browser page. When I minimize it to a floating window it works fine.
Any idea how I can fix this as it is very frustrating?
Thank you.

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

JMenuBar hides under Canvas

Hello,
I am doing a program that has a JMenuBar and Canvas,
The Menu Bar shows but when i click on it the JMenuItems are not shown they are hidden under the canvas which is stretched on the frame,
when i dont add the canas the menu bar works .
Thanks for help.

Don't mix AWT (Canvas) and Swing (JMenuBar) unless you have very strong reasons and know what you are doing. Instead of a Canvas, can you use a JPanel? Hopefully all is in a Swing root container such as a JFrame or JApplet.

Splash screen after import--it hides under LR--

After an import, the pictures that are duplicates, and not imported appear in a list in a splash screen that doesn't show up until I minimize LR. That is because it appears underneath LR which takes full screen on my Macbook. In my opinion, it should appear on the top of LR where it is visible. For what its worth. Thanks. I couldn't find this in the knowledge base.

I forgot to ask a question. The question is can I make the splash screen show up on top of the lightroom window? Phil Starr

Hey Sgt.Rics,
It sounds like you're experiencing some unexpected behavior in Safari, specifically the window layout blocking the Downloads button. I would check and make sure no third-party add-ons are causing the issue:

How to pass a KeyEvent to a JTextPane?

Hi,
I have a JTextPane and I display a JPopupMenu on top of it. The menu implements a MenuKeyListener to catch typed text and filters the menu content based on the typed text.
I also need to insert the typed characters into the document in the underlying JTextPane. So, I have a KeyEvent (MenuKeyEvent actually) and I need to make the JTextPane to process it as if it was produced by the user, i.e. match it against the action map and do the document edit for me.
I tried to call the JTextPane.processKeyEvent(e) method but it doesn't work. Any hints?
Thanks a lot!
Robert

Well, I'm wondering if it isn't working because the event is already consumed?
Perhaps you can construct a duplicate KeyEvent and pass that along instead?
If you need further help then you need to create a [url http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html]Short, Self Contained,
Compilable and Executable, Example Program that demonstrates the
incorrect behaviour, because I can't guess exactly what you are doing
based on the information provided.
And don't forget to use the [url http://forum.java.sun.com/help.jspa?sec=formatting]Code Formatting Tags so the code retains its
original formatting.

What's the slot under the battery

Just received my new T400 yesterday, and was very excited about it.
have one question here. I noticed a place where the battery seven mental pins touch the laptop, under that place, there is a small plastic film with a board card with size similar to a micro-sd card. It has a figure also looks like a SD card (rectange with one corner cut). If I pull the plastic film, the card can also be pulled out, but the film stays in.
I can not find this anywhere in the manual. What is that slot suppose to do? I assume it's not the SD card reader, since it's on the left side of the laptop, not hide under where the battery fit in.
Thanks.

I recently bought a new T400 laptop serial number * and model number 6474V86, I have the SIM card slot but I don't know if I have the WWAN available in my laptop or not.
How can I check if I have this service on my laptop or not?

JPopupMenu & JMenu conflicts

Basically, if I do the following...
JMenu fileMenu = new JMenu("File");
JPopupMenu popupMenu = new JPopupMenu();
JMenuItem quitItem = new JMenuItem("Quit");
fileMenu.add(quitItem);
popupMenu.add(quitItem);The quitItem only appears under the popupMenu and not in the fileMenu. However, if I do...
JMenu fileMenu = new JMenu("File");
JMenuItem quitItem = new JMenuItem("Quit");
fileMenu.add(quitItem);
JPopupMenu popupMenu = new JPopupMenu();
quitItem = new JMenuItem("Quit");
popupMenu.add(quitItem);Then both menus will show quitItem. However, if I change the settings on the quitItem, it will only change it for the popupMenu's quitItem (probably because it was the most recently added quitItem) but not for the fileMenu's quitItem.
Is there a way to have both menus show the SAME quitItem without having to make two quitItem objects? Thanks in advance.

You can't share JMenuItem, but you can use JMenu's underlying JPopupMenu as the popup menu for other components:
component.setComponentPopupMenu(menu.getPopupMenu());There's one trick, though: you have to set popup menu's invoker back to menu after it's displayed as a component popup menu. Otherwise clicking the menu won't show the popup menu again. You can do it in a popup menu listener:
JPopupMenu popup = menu.getPopupMenu();
popup.addPopupMenuListener(new PopupMenuListener() {
    public void popupMenuCanceled(PopupMenuEvent e) {}
    public void popupMenuWillBecomeInvisible(PopupMenuEvent e) {
        popup.setInvoker(menu);
    public void popupMenuWillBecomeVisible(PopupMenuEvent e) {}
});I've only tried this in JDK6, as it depends on JPopupMenu.menuSelectionChanged's implementation.

Please help ... new to Swing

I have been programming in java for about 5 years and have created large standalone applications...however i have always resisted going to swing....i treid today for the first time and WOW..!!!
so i have a problem where i made a Jmenubar and a set of Jmenus and Jmenuitems, and i added a panel with some stuff in the middle of my JFrame....the problem is when i click one of the menus, i only see part of it while the rest kind of hides under one of the panels in my frame....what is this??? how can i fix this.... you see what i mean...i press the menu, and so say 15 choices kind of "drop down" ... but they are not "on top" .. rather they are under the panel below in the frame ... (where there is stuff buttons...etc)..
Please help.....
[email protected]

If the panel is rendered on top of your JMenu/JMenuItem it sounds like a light weight / heavy weight problem.
Make sure the panels and the components you are adding are all lightweight JComponent derivatives and not AWT components like java.awt.Panel java.awt.Button

Iphone in Great Britian discovers Apple tech problem - Signal Strength -

November 25, 2007
Signal trouble: British iPhone mystery
Is O2’s network to blame, or Apple’s (AAPL) iPhone?
That’s the question posed by more than a few British iPhone owners who purchased the device in the past two weeks and have been struggling ever since to get decent telephone reception on it.
The problem surfaced two days after the phone went on sale in the U.K. when “Matlock” in Derbyshire started a discussion thread on Apple’s support board entitled “UK 02 (poor signal strength/reception problems)”:
My iphone can barely pick up even the slightest signal, although on occasion can pick up 3 ars, only for it to drop out again. I have two other 02 phones, a Sony Erricson and a Nokia n95 with no reception problems at all. Is anyone experiencing same problem with their iphone, I would like to hear from you. (link)
Two weeks later, Matlock’s query has received more than 100 replies (and 3,723 pageviews), most of them registering similar complaints. Some users found that reinstalling the software made a difference. When others returned their phones for new ones, the problem went away (although some reported that the new phones were no better).
Definitive U.K. sales figures are not available, but O2 reported that it sold “tens of thousands” of iPhones the first weekend it was available.
Several posters on the Apple discussion board volunteered that unlike the complainants, they were getting great reception on their iPhones. And many owners with signal problems expressed pleasure with how well the device performed its other functions.
But unlike American iPhone owners, who tend to blame any reception headaches on AT&T’s (T) cellular network, the assumption in the U.K. seems to be that the signal problem is Apple’s. The impression is reinforced by O2, which has been referring callers directly to the manufacturer.
One clue is that many British iPhone owners can, like Matlock, compare the signal strength on their iPhone with other cellphones using the same network (one user even posted photos showing the phones side by side). Another is that the indicator on the iPhone tends to jump to five bars as soon as it is placed in the charging dock, which suggests that the problem is battery related. As user Richard Catledge points out:
It says in the manual that phone signal is adjusted to the minimum power when not in use, just enough to detect the incoming pings, then it will power up to get the best quality call. It is digital, so as long as the signal power is strong enough to reconstruct at the other end, more power is pointless. I suspect this is what you are seeing, or a slightly flakey implementation.
Meanwhile, the consensus on the discussion board is that unhappy owners should let Apple know. Writes one user who posts as ::…SAM…::,
The only way to get anything done about it is if people that have poor signal problems is to take your phone back and get it replaced. The more phones they get back, the sooner they will do something to fix the problem. Emails and complaints are fine, they can be put in a folder, high handset return numbers cant be so easy to hide under the rug.
Thanks to InformationWeek’s Alexander Wolfe for the link. See his report here.

Interesting post. My previous phone was an 02 XDA Exec, a smart phone based upon a common handset (forget which one), but the smart phone before that was the same. They all had one thing in common - poor reception.
tbh, I think its an inherent problem with smart phones. However, with my iPhone I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary really. Its better than the XDA, at least the iPhone doesn't drop out completely!
But compare it to a normal handset and the normal handset will normally have a much better reception strength.

Can someone help "THIS NU-B" please!!!

Hey everyone,
   After putting of task of getting a new phone (my BB8330) I finally got it and have been tinkering with it. And ran into several issues. . . . but this is the most important one so far! Here goes: Never owning such a cool phone as I do now, it wasn't hard to navigate the phone and its options and capabilities. However, there were several media files that I quickly learned how to hide as an option under its properties tab, and in doing so, when I went back to un-click these media files, it would show up in the new media folder I created, but does not show the media?
   I've made several attempts and at trying to re-open these files but was unsuccessful at doing so, and the message that kept prompting on my device reads as follows:
   Unable to display file/Media Card/Blackberry/pictures/XBBxMX/throbbin 3.rem
   I am at my wits end, and took the time to familiarize myself with this forum browsing through to see if anyone else had this similar problem and again, UNSUCCESSFUL! So, I had these origional files sent from another blackberry user, saved these files in the pictures section of my phone's media card memory, clicked hide under each one's properties option, was able to un-click hide to show the media, but not able to view it!
   Please please please, I hope some one can help me.........
Advanced ALOHA and Much MAHALOs to those who can help me resolve this problem.
hoping to hear from you soon,
JSFM007

Greetings, and welcome to the BlackBerry.com Support Forums.
It is always helpful to receive help, to include your carrier name, so that when you have a question, that information won't need to be asked up front. Also, stating your device Operating System version is normally another common question, found on your BlackBerry at Options > About, third line down, looks like "v4.x.x.xxx"
Likewise, you posted in the Welcomes and Introduction, not the place for asking questions.
Nevertheless...

You have your Media Card set to encrypt your media card. Open Options > Security > Encryption > and see the setting for Media Card. This setting could be at Options > Security > General Settings according to the operating system of your device.

That is where the 'rem' extension is coming from. Now, if that ecrypted file is sent from another device, it is ONLY viewable ON the device on which the encryption is set. You can't move the files to another BlackBerry and view them. That's the point of the encryption.

Cosigning Student Loans - Learn From My Mistakes - Please Read

I have gone through a nightmare due to a student loan that I co-signed on, and I am creating this post in the hopes that you will learn from my mistakes. Please pass this post on to anyone who you think would benefit, and hopefully save them a lot of heartache and anxiety. My post is lengthy, but please be patient and read it, it could literally save your financial life.Briefly here is my situation: I am the co-signer on a $60K Sallie Mae private student loan where the primary borrower has defaulted on me, meaning they have told me they cannot pay a dime, have no intention of changing their lifestyle to do so, and will not tell me when, if ever, they will make good on this. Meanwhile, as the guarantor of the loan, I have been subjected to the full force of SM collection agency practices, and forced to face the music while the primary person on this loan can blissfully ignore the situation as if it was not happening. After multiple weeks of heartache, anxiety and worry over my financial future, I found in the fine print that if I make 24 consecutive on-time payments, then I am off the hook. I verified this with SM and am now 6 months into paying this off. As long as nothing unexpected occurs, I am looking forward to being off the hook in 18 months, having learned an expensive but not life altering lesson, as I was originally facing. Now let me go into some lessons, please pass these on to anyone you think would benefit - let's make this post the most widely read one on FICO forums, this is so important. And now my hard lessons learned:Lesson #1: DO NOT COSIGN A STUDENT LOAN: especially private student loans which carry higher interest rates. When you cosign a loan, you are the guarantor: you are putting your good credit profile on the line and telling the loan agency that you are responsible if anything ever happens with the primary borrower and they are unable to pay. All the obligations are on your shoulders, in fact, in many ways you are more responsible than the primary borrower, and this is how the loan and collection agencies will treat you. If you think: that's just the fine print, that will never happen, think again. It happens all the time, are you willing and able to take on this burden if you have to? Possibilities become reality, and this is a reality you do not want to be a part of, trust me on this. If you want to help someone, find other ways to do it outside of the system. Loan them the money as an individual, or pay their rent or expenses, that way, if problems arise, you don't have to get credit agencies, loan agencies, and collections agencies involved. If you are a parent and want to help your child, see Lesson #2.Lesson #2: LOAN ONLY WHAT YOU CAN LOSE: Every rule has exceptions, so the exception to Lesson #1 is this: only cosign on a loan if you are absolutely willing and able to pay off the full loan obligation. When you cosign you are lending your good name and credit profile, and you are effectively loaning money that you will have to pay back if the primary borrower defaults. In other words, never loan more than you are willing to lose, and therefore never cosign for more than you are willing to lose. And be willing to accept that the fact that your relationship with the primary borrower may be permanently damaged if you are forced to step in and cover their obligations.Lesson #3: LOANS GROW: I cannot emphasize this point enough, it really burned me: I did not co-sign a loan for 60K, I co-signed for 45K, and without my knowledge the primary borrower capitalized the interest during the first 18 months of the loan, which they were allowed to do, but it caused the loan to grow by 33%. So when it came time to guarantee the loan, I was on the hook for 60K, which I had never originally agreed to.Lesson #4: SALLIE MAE DOES NOT CARE: And why should they? This is business. As co-signer, you are the guarantor of the loan, you have to make good on the obligation when the primary borrower defaults. In fact, as guarantor, the loan and collection agencies will go after you harder than the primary borrower. Do you have a good credit and collateral, such as a house? Well this binds your obligation even more tightly. When loan and collections agencies see that you have the wherewithal to pay, they will not let you off the hook. And they don't care if paying off their loan puts you on the street. This is business and you have to pay up. Understand this black and white reality before you co-sign a loan. Lesson #5: DON’T DELAY PAYMENTS: Forbearance and deferments are often mentioned as options for helping out on loan obligations, but do not fall into this trap: they make a bad loan situation worse, they don't help. Deferment does not prevent interest from accumulating: you'll just have a bigger loan to pay when the deferment ends. Student loans typically give you a deferment grace period, usually 6 months, before you have to start paying back the loan. Most of us have to use this initial grace period, but please avoid it if you can, it just makes your loan grow larger. Forbearance is another method of delay, but it requires you to make the loan current before the loan agency can talk to you. In other words, you have to be paid up on what you currently owe before the loan agency will talk to you about forbearance. Think about this Catch-22: you can't pay your current loan obligations, so you ask the loan agency for help. The loan agency won't talk to you until you make the loan current. Never use deferment or forbearance, they make your bad situation worse. Lesson #6: NO LEGAL RECOURSE: Student loan debt is not dischargeable in bankruptcy court proceedings, it is debt that you will carry for life until it is paid off, regardless of what happens to you. And don't assume that the loan agency will only take legal action against the primary borrower in a default situation: they will also take legal action against you. Remember, you are equally responsible, you will be held legally accountable. And don't think that you can sue the primary borrower. You can only sue them if you have a separate promissory note with them, signed and notarized, that they have defaulted on. And even if you do, it is expensive and time-consuming to sue someone, especially if they have moved out-of-state, and practically impossible if they have moved out-of-country. You could probably never come out ahead, unless the amount owed was so large as to make it worth it. Unless you are wealthy, or a big organization, do not rely on your option to take legal action in the future, it's often just not practical. Lesson #7: WOULD I DO BUSINESS WITH THIS PERSON?: When you co-sign for a family member, there is a certain level of built in trust in the relationship, but when you co-sign for a friend, or girlfriend, or boyfriend, you are putting your faith in the future: faith that they will be around in the future and that they will always have your best interests at heart. Please wake up. People take advantage of other people all the time. Especially when it comes to money, people get scared and choose to hide under a rock, disappear, ignore the problem as if it does not exist. If you are the co-signer, you are the guarantor. If the primary borrower understands this, then they can choose to disappear and leave you holding the bag. Do not assume that the person who cares for you now will always care what happens to you. Business is business, personal is personal. When you are asked to co-sign for a loved one, ask yourself first: do I want to go into business with this person? How do they resolve conflict? If they get into trouble one day will they work with me? Or will they disappear on me? Do they have a conscience, and will they care how this affects me? Or will they see an opportunity to be off the hook? Ask yourself these hard questions. And don’t assume that they will think as responsibly as you. Don’t assume that they care what happens to their credit score, or what this means for the future. Treat the primary borrower as a person you are doing business with, and therefore someone who you need to rely on when times get tough. Chances are, you are the more responsible person here, so ask yourself, can I really afford to go into business with this person?Lesson #8: PROTECT YOURSELF: If your credit score gets damaged over a bad loan, your total financial life will be affected for a long time. It doesn't matter how good your intentions are, it doesn't matter why you got into a financial bind, it doesn't matter that your family member was sick, or that you were going through a hard time, or that you are low on money because you gave it all to charity. The current system of credit scoring requires you to keep your total financial profile in a healthy state at all times. If you are delinquent on payments, or worse, default on loan obligations, then your credit will suffer and you will be affected for a long time. You will be unable to qualify for loans, you will be unable to get good interest loans. Think about the effect this will have on your family in the future: not being able to afford a house for them because you can't get a loan, because you made a good faith error several years before. That's the reality you have to avoid, so protect yourself at all times.Lesson #9: AND FINALLY: Some people reading this will feel that I am missing the point: that of course loans carry obligations, and of course there are consequences if loan payments are missed. For the record, I relied on Sallie Mae loans to get me through college and grad school. I made all my payments on time, I paid my loans off, I even used the available 6 month deferment. But this only worked because I was responsible, because I had a plan, because I understood my monthly and total financial obligations at all times, and never made a life decision that would compromise my ability to pay. Cold reality: many people in this world are not responsible, they don't think through the consequences of their decisions, they are unable or unwilling to look at the hard facts. When you co-sign with one of these individuals, as I did, you are tethering your good name and your financial future to them. If they fail in their responsibility, they will take you down with them. Do not let this happen, protect yourself, you have worked too hard in your life to let an irresponsible person take you down. I hope you have found this posting useful. Please pass it on so that everyone can learn from my mistakes and hard-earned lessons.

My heart goes out to you. My stomach was in knots for you just reading about your situation. Thanks for the lessons learned. I co-signed a private education loan with my ex husband. I wish I had someone like you back then to sit me down and make me really think. Unfortunately, I was young and naive and never thought twice about co-signing. Even though the original loan amount was small by most standards (less than $8000), here it is 10 years later and that stinking loan is still attached to my credit rating. It's barely halfway paid off with another 10 years to go. The ex is a bit of a deadbeat so after some late payments a few years ago, he has since only made the minimum payments. At this rate, I will be ready to retire when that stupid thing is paid and off my reports. I am very conscientious about my own financial health and have less than $1000 on a credit card, a little of my own student loans, and a reasonable mortgage. BUT because I am forever listed as co-signer of this silly loan, it actually drags down my FICO rating. I could suck it up and pay off the whole balance myself in a few months time....which causes me to feel sick to my stomach. Its my only option besides watching this thing languish for 10 more years.

How to request FIOS service in my area?

Hi,
I just moved to my first home in San Bernardino, CA. It is a manufactured home in a park, and I was able to get a great deal and pay it off completely. I was so excited about it, I didn't stop to question the internet service available in the area; afterall, what rock do you have to hide under to not find internet in America in this day and age (or so I thought)?
To my disbelief, only the units on the outer perimeter can get service!!!!!! The only thing that is available to me is DSL, and even then it was a HUGE hassle to get it setup because the technicians have to piggyback the lines from a really messed up terminal along the neighbors' backyards! The speed is so horrible, I just want to cry most nights, and my wife literally has cried on occasion! I download everything from my cell phone because it's faster, and my cell phone service is anything but fast. The only other alternative is Dish, and there's a pathetic 30gig limit per month; that wouldn't even last 3 days between my wife, me, and my roommates.
I don't need TV. I don't need a phone line. Hell, I can even live without heating or air conditioning, but the one thing I need is good internet! I've had to cancel my Hulu and Netflix, completely give up on any form of online gaming, download all my media needs from work or on my cell phone, and overall our entire household is absolutely miserable, to the point that I am considering selling this place to move elsewhere. Not to mention, for my job I need access to internet from home at all times, this is really screwing up my life!
We were on 75/35 and already thinking of upgrading to a higher speed plan, so to put that in perspective we are now getting less than 1/1. I'm not rich, I'm supporting a household of 4 as the only income, but I can afford internet, it's a necessity for me. I am willing to sign away $150 for a long-term contract, even if it's 5 years, that's $9,000 in revenue; I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure that would cover the cost of laying down some lines! Not to mention, there are more than a hundred units in the park, all the potential customers Verizon could have would definitely be to their monetary advantage. I just can't understand why they don't want to lay down some lines?
Anyway, I don't have much knowledge about this industry so I'm not sure where to begin to petition for this request. If needed, I can personally go door-to-door and get committed answers for the need for FIOS in our park, I know for a fact I'm not alone in my frustrations here. There's not much I won't do in order to get some decent internet! I hope someone can help point me in the right direction.
Thank you all for your help!

I was given the equipment Verizon gave me. A DSL modem. What else do I need? I've certianly had modems in the past provided by other services, but they would at least offer what they promised... which is what... 3-5Mbps? Let me check again...
Yes, it was "High Speed Internet" in which I was neglected to be mentioned about when I ordered...
-I checked my speed test, my download speed is 1.95 Mbps, my upload is not even .07 THIS IS EVEN AFTER restarting the modem, you know, turning it off, waiting 1 minute, then plugging it back in.
-The modem is EXTREMELY hot and it isn't even near any other equipment.
-I can't even go to TWO pages at a time when they load. Multitasking is near impossible, even when I had AT&T's service at the same speed, it would allow me to go to another page while another loaded or downloaded something. WEBSITES that don't even require even a LITTLE bit amount of bandwidth.
To further insult, I am getting emails and phone calls from Verizon telling me that my "internet connection speed" is up to code, which is complete and utter **bleep** to put it in short terms. It is a CHORE to go to this website alone to respond.
I'm fully aware NOW that FiOs is out of the question and requests are impossible.
Seriously... HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GET THE SEVICE I REQUESTED?

The verizon company is the worst ever!!!!!!

I am totally at my wits end with this whole verizon sham. I was previously with another cell company that I never, ever had any problems with. However, due to family circumstances I needed to add a phone on my account for one of my children and, low and behold, verizon was the only one that approved me for a family plan without an outrageous per-phone deposit. So, happy for that, I signed my daughter and I with a verizon family shared everything plan. I got two new phones for basically free, I got the basic service on each phone, and then the shared data plan, and insurance, and we were on our way -- or so I thought!
Well, from the very first month -- actually about two-and-a-half weeks -- there has been nothing but problems and expensive problems with the so-called business. To start - one adult and one child sharing a family plan -- Verizon sends two bills looking to me to dupicates -- I pay one of them and discard the other -- so service gets interrupted. I call customer service -- oops, looks like somebody (on their end) set up the account wrong and has my phones being billed separately. Next - somehow I am being charged $5.99 (per month) for some "extra" verizon navigation service that I did not ask for, did not need, and certainly did not want for an extra fee. I call to check on this and have this fixed -- another verizon oops. After just the first month, verizon had $114 in account adjustments they had to make because of their stupid (or greedy) so-called mistakes.
However, with just our second month coming up there is already problems -- somehow two weeks into the cycle, the data plan I chose of 4GB of this supposed 4G LTE was already being exceeded -- I call up yet again to see what the hell is up and once again review all the billing problems -- oh, somehow our data plan was only set a 2GB and we were over by way less than a GB (hence my 4GB choice would have been plenty). So for a nominal fee of $10 they will bump my data plan to 4GB instead of charging me the $15 per GB overage fee. Oh, joy! It was their mistake in the first place. So the bill comes due -- I pay it, all is good. NOT! One week later this money sucking company call verizon somehow and for some reason decides to reverse and reject my payment -- blammo, phones shut off again -- I call up to ask what's up -- oops, my payment was some $50 short -- I pay that -- they turn the phones back on -- we review everything again, and customer service and I agree all things are good -- and bam, the very next day phones are off again.
My point with this is that every time they interrupt service, their fault or mine, there is an additional $15 per phone charge -- I had this charge three times in only our second month of "service" -- that is an additional $90 in fees right there. When I signed up, I was told that my monthly bill would be in the area of $190 TOTAL (for both phones), excluding the first month, of course, because we all have learned that the first month includes all kinds of bogus charges, fees, and tips! So, then, why have my bills been no less that $340 every **** month. I had spent more time on my lovely new phone with verizon customer service reps than any other person at all. Every month for three months there was discussions about the plan, the usage, the fees -- blah, blah, blah --
Well, what other fitting thing could then happen but low and behold some low-life scum steals my phone and immediately runs my data plan over 8GB somehow (i can't even fathom how). So I call verizon to tell them and file a claim on the insurance that I was paying for (the total replacement premium) only to find out that -- oops, I didn't have insurance on the phone since the first month's adjustments. So I interrupted my service (and haven't been able to get into "myVerizon" online since that day. I told my daughter she wouldn't be having her phone anymore -- when they shut it off, I am done. I have not had a phone since that point since I definitely cannot afford the $599 cost of another phone. I am on a fixed income and have been concerned about an out-of-control bill since day one. So, verizon this is my words to you:
SINCE I NO LONGER HAVE A PHONE TO TELL YOU AGAIN FORGET IT, CANCEL IT, I DO NOT WANT TO DO BUSINESS WITH YOUR CROOKED, RIP-OFF COMPANY, AND I CANNOT GET ON LINE TO TELL YOU IT THROUGH "MYVERIZON" (that title being a total joke to begin with!), IT APPEARS THAT PERHAPS THIS IS THE ONLY FORUM I MIGHT REACH SOMEBODY BY ---------- CANCEL MY ACCOUNT. QUIT CONTINUING TO BILL ME FOR THE SERVICE ON A PHONE THAT I NO LONGER HAVE AND THE OTHER SHUT OFF BY YOU. QUIT E-MAILING ME THAT MY BILL IS READY FOR VIEWING AND PAYING ON-LINE AT "MYVERIZON blah, blah, ********" BECAUSE YOU WON'T LET ME ON TO LOOK AT MY ACCOUNT BECAUSE I NO LONGER HAVE AN "active" VERIZON PHONE NUMBER (praise the Lord for that!). AND FURTHERMORE, TAKE YOUR $1,463 OR SOME RIDICULOUS CURRENT BILL AND SHOVE IT STRAIGHT UP THE TAILPIPE OF EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN CHARGE OF RUNNING YOUR LOUSY, GOOD-FOR-NOTHING, RIP OFF, SO-CALLED BUSINESS.
You should all be sued out the *** for the way you are robbing people. It is straight criminal and if the average Joe Q. Citizen pulled the same **** they would be jailed and have their freedom stripped from them. However, because you hide under some *********** fine print and claim to be a business, you steal, lie, cheat, and swindle from people every single hour of every single day and you rob people of their freedoms (from money, services, peace of mind, choices, etc.) and somehow get away with it without losing anything -- but customers, and you don't deserve them anyway. So you feel free to just keep on charging me for whatever you are going to charge me for. I will not give verizon another dime my money from my fixed income. I will not. You have lied, cheated, defrauded and just plain been a horrible business and I will tell anyone and everyone I come in contact that to stay away from verizon -- don't go to them and if you are with them, get out -- they will take everything from you and somehow make it your fault!
BOYCOTT VERIZON -- START A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST THEM. LET'S STAND UP FOR THE CITIZENS AND BLOW THIS BOGUS MONEY-HUNGRY POOR EXCUSE OF A COMPANY OUT OF THE SKY AND FORCE THEM OUT OF BUSINESS -- or start doing business in a neighborly fashion.

Just from this paragraph, it puts your whole story in question. You make it sound as if Verizon is charging you something EXTRA to fix one of their mistakes. The 4GB plan IS $10 more expensive than the 2GB plan. The $10 "nominal fee" is just the price difference between the 2 plans. This is not just some charge to fix a Verizon mistake. If you want the larger plan, you must pay the larger fee.
You are either not explaining your situation correctly, you are leaving out some "other" information which would fully explain the situation OR you are purposely trying to make Verizon look bad for something they are not actually doing. You say Verizon "decides to reverse and reject" your payment, but then go on to say you shorted your payment. You then go on to say you then paid the part your shorted. So did you just pay the part you shorted, or did you then pay the ENTIRE amount? If you then only paid the part you shorted, I guess Verizon DID NOT "decide to reverse and reject" your payment. They accepted your previous payment and shut off your phones because you did not make the full payment. This is YOUR mistake, NOT VERIZON'S mistake. Even if you did pay the full amount again at that point including the part you had originally shorted from the 1st payment, it is still YOUR mistake.
I find it hard to believe you did not have these kinds of problems with your other provider since they were forcing a CURRENT customer to pay an "outrageous per-phone deposit" in order to add 1 line to your account. It appears as if Verizon should have done the same.
Of course, you do have the option of paying or not paying your current bill. However, it is YOUR responsibility to do so and it will only get larger if you do not contact Verizon CS by calling them(or going into a Verizon store) and cancelling your service EVEN if you do not have an active phone on one of your lines and your service is cut off for failure to pay. When you cancel your service, you will ALSO have 2 ETF's added to your already large bill.
Good luck with your situation, it appears as if you will need it.
