Kin TwoM activation help! Please :)

My husband and I are trying to upgrade/activate a couple of Kin TwoM's that we recevied. We received batch number one (two phones) on Monday...and after an hour or so on the phone...no go. Tech support said its a bad phone, and they'll send out new ones. My husband received batch number two (two more phones), and they do not work as well.
He is trying them in another area now. Someone suggested him trying a different Verizon Tower. (??)
I have seen many other forums saying it took 2 or 3 or even 4 different phones to get ONE working. ?? Why is this still happening? When someone sends a "bad phone" back...is it just put back into stock? Boy, I sure hope not. Because all that is happening is Tech Support and Shipping/Recieving are wasting a lot of time trying to get them figured out...and reshipping. Let alone the cost of reshipping.
I REALLY would like to get our phones working. I just love the minimal features and the WIFI capability that the Kin TwoM has. Please let me know (as soon as you can, please) if someone...anyone...can help me out! Any help will be greatly appreciated!

RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN back to the store or to the post office...whatever..before you use those Kin TWOs. I got on just at one month ago and CANNOT STAND IT!!! It is a complete piece of crap. The reasons are long and numerous and I'd be glad to go into it all in detail if you want concrete reasons to return it, but lets just say I had the last straw when my phone started randomly SHUTTING OFF last week. I spent HOURS on the phone with Verizon last week when the phone was litterally less than 30 days old trying to get them to switch it out for another phone ANY other phone only to essentially told to stuff it and buy another phone at full retail price if I was unhappy.
DO NOT ACTIVATE IT!!! Just send it back and get something else!!! It doesn't work. In fact both at a regular Verizon store AND at a Verizon Wireless dealer store I was told that they got so many complaints about the phones that they do not display them anymore and strongly suggest to customers to get any other phone Verizon offers.

Kin Twom Activation

I just bought a Kin Twom from ebay to replace my old lg env3 that kept shutting off. When I try to activate it online, "We cannot activate the phone associated with the Device ID you entered. Please contact Customer Service at (800) 922-0204 for assistance." pops up. What is wrong?

Hi Kintwommom,
I understand your concern! Since posting, has your issue been resolved?
If you have not been able to add the device to your line, the error you are receiving may be associated with the device, since there may be a restriction on it. Feel free to PM me with the ESN (Electronic Serial Number) and I can check on this for you. The ESN can be located on the back of the phone, once the battery has been removed. It will appear as DEC, HEX, or MEID.
Thank you!

New User KIN twom needs help!

Hi guys, I recently purchased a Kin TWOM because i wanted a decent phone without having to pay for data plan. I have some questions that I need help answering/confirming because I searched online and it'll be nice to have all my answers here.
1. WIFI
Q: I understand that the kin two can go on wifi FOR FREE as long as you turn the 3G network off.
Would turing your phone to airplane mode be good enough to NOT use the 3G at all or do I need to go online and do a data block on the phone?
Would turning the data block off online, completely turn off the 3G network, so i guess incase of emergency, no use of 3G?
I can still receive text without 3G (text is not part of data- i think?)?
2. Games
Are there any games you can download from computer to the phone? I saw that someone posted mytouchgames.com as a site inwhich you can lay games on it or something. I want to play games and see if can imput by comp.
3. ZUNE
I never had a zune before and have no idea how it works. I believe this is free. I saw that all you need is to download a program and I can start putting my music from my computer to the phone and just play it like a mp3.
Can you use mp3 from the computer, put into zune and use it as a ringtone?
Ringtone on phonezoo..sending it to the phone would not cost anything? But i'm not sure where to save it to because i don't think i want it to be permenant. Can I send it to the zune program
Some people also mentioned sending by email..i don't really understand it. Are we sending it as an attachment? or a link??
4. Bluetooth
Can you transfer music/pictures/ect. from phone to phone via bluetooth? I would probably like to send pictures to my sister when I see her WITHOUT using text. If not, is the only way is to transfer pictures from phone to computer and post it online?
5. MISC
I heard that there was an issue regarding the phone being on silent and still ring, can someone clarify? like if its on vibrate, the alarm would still go off, but if people called, it'll be on vibrate?
THANK YOU for your time in answering these questions.

1. WIFI

Would turing your phone to airplane mode be good enough to NOT use the 3G at all or do I need to go online and do a data block on the phone? Correct, wireless providers do not charge for Wi-Fi use. However, it's very difficult to tell on the Kin whether you're using Wi-Fi or 3G, so I do recommend a data block. As you stated, you can also put the phone in airplane mode, but that does shut off the radio, so you will not receive any calls or texts when you do this.
Would turning the data block off online, completely turn off the 3G network, so i guess incase of emergency, no use of 3G? Correct, you would have to go online to My Verizon or call customer service to enable data. If you think you'll occasionally use it while out, maybe you want the $10 data plan ... $1.99/MB adds up fast!
I can still receive text without 3G (text is not part of data- i think?)? Yes, you will still receive texts. You can even receive MMS (pic and vid messages), but the customer service rep has to set this up correctly on your account. Be very careful that the rep doesn't remove the data block to allow MMS -- you will think you're using Wi-Fi and the charges will really add up.
2. Games
Are there any games you can download from computer to the phone? I saw that someone posted mytouchgames.com as a site inwhich you can lay games on it or something. I want to play games and see if can imput by comp. No experience with this, sorry.
3. ZUNE
I never had a zune before and have no idea how it works. I believe this is free. I saw that all you need is to download a program and I can start putting my music from my computer to the phone and just play it like a mp3. Zune is great. It's free to use (unless you decide to purchase the Zune Pass, which is a music subscription for $15/month, plus you can keep 10 songs every month for your own collection). When Zune installs, there's a setting that syncs all the music and pics already on your computer. So when I installed Zune, all my music from Windows Media Player was there. You simply drag and drop to put on your Kin. You can also subscribe to podcasts through Zune. Plus the Kin does have an FM radio, which sounds good and shows current songs playing if the info is available.
Can you use mp3 from the computer, put into zune and use it as a ringtone? I don't think this worked for Kin users.
Ringtone on phonezoo..sending it to the phone would not cost anything? But i'm not sure where to save it to because i don't think i want it to be permenant. Can I send it to the zune program

4. Bluetooth
Can you transfer music/pictures/ect. from phone to phone via bluetooth? I would probably like to send pictures to my sister when I see her WITHOUT using text. If not, is the only way is to transfer pictures from phone to computer and post it online? I read that the Kin Bluetooth only works for headsets, not file transfer, but I'm not certain.
5. MISC
I heard that there was an issue regarding the phone being on silent and still ring, can someone clarify? like if its on vibrate, the alarm would still go off, but if people called, it'll be on vibrate? This is because the ringer switch does not lock. So if your phone is in your pocket, you can bump the switch and put it in another mode. So you think it'll ring and it's on silent, for example.
THANK YOU for your time in answering these questions.

Problems with KIN TWOm: NEED HELP!

I am a new owner of a KIN TWOm. Originally i was a owner of a KIN ONEm. Now with my new KIN i have tried to create a KIN account and it comes up with a error saying that it can not connect to windows live right now. And then it goes to the social networking page. But since its not all set up its useless and just causes me to click on the links while i try to slide to my favorites and home. And every time i turn on my phone the sign in for the KIN account comes up but it doesn't work. It does not allow me to do any of the social networking options since i am not synced so i don't get any of the Feeds that i was really looking forward to in this phone. It also does not let me connect to my email that i was perfectly able to connect to on my KIN ONEm. And it also wont let me sync any contacts from my social networking sites. All the social networking capabilities that i was really looking forward to and that where the main objective of the phone no longer work. Why is this? And is there any way to fix this? If not, would there be any way to get rid of the middle screen that would show all the Feeds, and the sign in menu that pops up every time i restart my phone? Its still there but has no purpose. It just takes up space and frustrates me. I'd like to further my experience with the KIN TWOm instead of being in the dark. Thank you for your help.

Hello alexz97, I want you to be able to use the full capabilities of your phone! Are you trying to add the same Windows Live account that your had on the KIN ONEm or starting a brand new one? Were you prompted to setup Wi-Fi before starting the sign in process? Does it show a network connection? I look forward to hearing from you so we can work to get you up and running!
Thank You,

The Blackberry is designed to be reset by removing the battery whilst the device is powered-on. Leave the battery out for a minute or 2.
See if that resolves the problem.

Activation Help Please? [Photoshop CS3]

When I try to register my Photoshop CS3 Extended via internet connection, it says 'Activation - No Connection', even though it's plugged into the internet. How do I fix this?

actually, make sure your firewall isn't blocking the program, that may be the issue.

Activation Help Please

Hi there,
I purchased a new iPhone in the UK today and activated it through iTunes successfully 4 hours ago but the phone is still not getting any service. On 2 occaisons the phone has displayed an error about no signal being detected even though I am in an area with superb o2 signal.
When waiting for the phone to pick up activation is it normal for it to say no service? Or is my phone faulty?

Make sure the antenna (the black part of the back cover) isn't being shielded.
Try turning on Airplane Mode for a few seconds. If that doesn't restore your signal try rebooting (hold HOME and SLEEP buttons for about 8 seconds until an Apple logo appears (ignoring "slide to turn off"). One of these will most likely fix it. In the unlikely event that neither does do a restore through iTunes.
After that take it to an Apple store for diagnosis.

Kin Twom Troubleshooting and help please?

Alright, so I got my Kin Twom a couple months ago, and about the 3rd month after having it, it shut itself off, and, upon turning it on, it went to the Verizon Wireless startup screen for about 5 minutes, then moved on to the Kin Twom screen for another 5 minutes, then went to a completely black screen except for the backlight. I couldn't turn it on or off and had to take the battery out to shut it down. A few times I put the battery in and it would startup completely, but the touch screen didn't work. I assumed it might've been overheated so I left it inside and left it alone for several days, and, lo and behold, I turned it on and it started working normally again. It worked fine for about another month, but a few days ago it started to do the same thing. I went to a Verizon store and asked for a replacement and they told me the manufacturer most likely not replace it because of a tiny crack on the screen.
Has anyone else had this same problem? If so, how can I fix it?
Thanks for your help!

Hi lightsonthesky! We can certainly can complete troubleshooting. However, if the phone has a cracked screen it may be determined that the problems were caused by the physical damage. Do you have insurance? If so, the physical damage would be covered. If not, send me a Private Message and include a contact number and the best times to call you.

My apple id is not working for my iPhone activation. Please help me.

Not working in what way?
Only the Apple ID that was used to enable "Find My iPhone" on the device can be used to bypass Activation Lock.

My iTunes card won't redeem and when I try to it comes up with this "The gift certificate or prepaid card code you entered has not been properly activated. Please contact iTunes Store costumer support for assistance" can anyone help me?

Is the store that you bought the card from nearby so that you can try going back and asking if they can activate the card properly ? If it's not, or if they can't/won't activate, then you will need to do as the message says and contact iTunes Support (these are user-to-user forums) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then iTunes Cards And Codes (you will probably need to give them images of the front and back of the card, and possibly its receipt)

All iPhones sold in Japan are carrier locked. The Japanese carriers do not offer unlocking.
You can not use that phone on a carrier other than the one it is locked to.
Sell it and buy one you can use.

Im from Philippines and my iphone is from Japan after I updated it to iOs 6.1.3 it wont activate it says ''Activation Error Please Contact Customer Care'' what does it mean? How can I activate it? Please help me.

You can NOT unlock it. Only the carrier it is locked to can legally authorize unlocking it and the Japanese carriers will not do so.
In order to be using it previously with a non Japanese carrier, the phone had to be hacked to illegally unlock it. You can not get help here.
Buy a new phone you can use.

<Personal Information Edited by Host>

It's a bad idea to post your IMEI number and I've asked the Hosts to remove it.
If the previous owner of the phone has set the Activation Lock in iCloud, only he can unlock it either by giving you the ID and password, or by removing it from his list of devices - details here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515
Without his unlocking it for you, you cannot use the phone.

2 errors: "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable" and the sim says "searching" while iTunes says there is "No Sim installed" - but of course, there is! Any help please??

Hi Peter,
Thank you for the note - I have seen similar replies on other posting errors and I see how that could make sense. The thing is, my iPhone is not jailbroken - it is from an authorized distributor. However, when I told them about the "no service" problem on the sim, they were unable to assist. Then my phone messaged that an itunes restore was required - so I did that, several times, to the error message now noted on my post. I wonder if there is some other way to over-write this message? Thanks very much.

Kin TwoM activation help! Please :)
