My 4G Device Makes an Excellent Paperweight!!

No my 4G device doesn't receive picture messages, connect to my computer so I could play music, nor does it ever seem to get 4G, depite me living in the largest and most covered city in the entire US. (Thanks hours of Customer Service Support )
That's all in vain though, because today I discovered that my Droid Charge is NOT a completely useless plastic piece of industrial garbage. It can actually support a stack of up to about 400 pages of A4 paper, and I've received tons of compliments. Thank you Verizon!!

Hi Tamara,
I've spent literally dozens hours on the phone with Verizon to help "fix" these problems but all I've gotten was a SIM card which didn't help, and lots of over-the-phone homework that ended in a quick and temporary fix to each problem (phone resets and "we'll call you back" 's).
Yes, both myself and a family member have had these same problems since we've gotten the devices. At this point I'm thinking my device is defective and would like to trade it in for something that works. Something that actually has "blazing fast speeds" and a signal that holds for longer than 15 mins. Something that can effectively deliver and send picture messages in less than 24 hours (those are my average blazing fast speeds if it does happen to work). So now I pay $400/yr for a defective device because of Verizon's refusal to admit the problem, and the fact that's it easier for them to hang up a phone than actually give quality customer service.
I would really love a working phone, but I don't expect it to happen before my 2 year contract is up and I switch to another provider.
Message when picture message is received (when device is connected to 3g, 4g or wifi): "Currently unable to download. Please try again later." "Unable to view" or it will be "Pending" for days even. Messages I send almost always inevitably fail in the end. I live in Midtown Manhattan and travel to other areas which are known for excellent service. I do restart my device multiple times a day, this aids the 3g/4g issue for 20 minutes, then I'm forced back to using wifi.
Thanks for reading, and hope to hear from you soon,
Paperclips2.
P.S. There seem to be a lot of people in the same situation:

  • How can I make an Excel Sheet where I can tally my daily activities and make a graph of it?

    I want a simple excel sheet where in the columns I can have dates and in the rows I can have my activities and in the spaces between I can put a number like 1 or 2 or 5 indicating the number of hours spent that day on that activity.  Finally, I would
    want to be able to, using the hours data for the entire month for each activity, be able to create a pie chart breaking down how much time I spent on each activity.
    The issue is I do not know to rename rows and columns and I do not know how to format it all to ensure I can make a pie chart at the end comparing all of my activities.  
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • How do I make an Excel macro and Labview push to copy Labview calculated data into a cell on demand?

    Hey there, I am a chemist so Labview and programming aren't exactly my strong point. 
    We have a Labview program that we run to control and automated valve manifold that has a thermocouple and pressure transducer that displays the temperature and pressure on the "front panel" of the labview file we run.  The temperature and pressure of the manifold changes in real time while the labview is running.  We must attach a sample to the manifold, take the pressure and temperature, then record those values in an excel spread sheet, one at a time.
    What I would like to do is make a key board macro in excel to automatically type in the current read out of the temperature (and another for pressure) into which ever selected excel cell you are on, so that you don't have to switch back to the labview window to look at it.  I have a very basic understanding of macros in VB but I don't know how to get the labview to make the read outs available for the excel macros to find it.
    Thanks for the help, Here is a screen shot of the block layout of the program.

    Why not have LV put the data in Excel for you?  You can use Actvie X to do this.  There is plenty of information on the forum and knowledge base on how to use Active X and reporting to Excel.  Plus you have the example finder.  Do you have the Report Generation Toolkit?  LV7 is quite old, so I don't know if this is an option for you.

  • Export Device Collection to Excel

    Is there a way to export a device collection to a CSV or Excel file? I want to compare 2 device collections as the numbers are not matching up and I would rather do it in excel than try and do it manually. Is there a report I'm missing?

    Hello !
    In addition, if you want to export collection memberships with more details like operating system, serial number, model, memory, proc, etc...
    You have to Run the report "Hardware 01A - Summary of computers in a specific collection" in "Asset Intelligence" folder.
    Then export to Excel or Word, XML, CSV, PDF.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do i make word, excel

    My Word, Excel & Power Point programs keep opening windows on start up since I upgraded to Mountain Lion.  How do I make it stop??

    I finally figured this out! Mountain Lion has a login screen for yourself & a guest on startup.  Instead of going straigt to a shutdown when closing down my computer, I clicked on LOG OUT.  The logout screen has a check box to open windows on start up.  I unchecked it and problems SOLVED!

  • Does iPhone as tethering device make sense?

    Why pay to use the iPhone as a tethering device instead of just using the iPhone itself?  People using iPhone to tether their iPad in particular doesn't make much sense to me since they pretty much have the same function (one just has a bigger screen).
    Does it really make sense to pay another $25 a month to tether the iPad to the iPhone when you can just use the iPhone to do what you need done?  I'm asking because it would be nice I guess, but can someone really make a good case for the extra money spent for this?

  • How to make an Excel file from Contacts in Address Book?

    I'd like to save the contents of my Address Book in an Excel file. How do I do it. Address Book doesn't seem to export to a common SS format.
    Thanks!

    Build an Automator workflow that gets the Contacts you want (like Get Selected Contacts), then add a Get Contact Info and select the items you want. Set the Export format to Spreadsheet (tabs).
    Then, add an action to create the new file (New Text Edit Document).

  • PDF Maker in Excel 2003 prompts to save multiple files for one report

    It seems each time i try to PDF multiple tabs I end up having to save more than one copy of the report in order to get all the sheets in PDF form.  I then have to merge all the PDF copies into one file and save it.  Does anyone know why it is generating multiple reports for the tabs in excel and how to get all the tabs to load as one PDF file from the get-go?

    Jeffrey and Karen ... I've used Preview for years but recently upgraded to OS Snow Leopard (I am reluctant to change software!). I used to freely drag and drop pages from the sidebar one pdf file open in Preview to the sidebar of another - as you recommend - without problem. Now if I do that, the caption in the bar at the top of the document says "2 documents, 5 (or whatever) open pages", and I can't save the whole thing as one document - Preview wants to save the tranferred pages as their own document. What has changed? What am I not understanding here?

  • 3G S - Sound the device makes when plugging in to charge

    All,
    Sort of out of the blue, started today, when I plug my 3G S in to charge rather than making the usual "plugged in to charge" sound, it vibrates. I restarted the device and have checked ... vibrate is turned off.
    Thoughts?
    Thank you!

    Check the ring/silent switch on the side of the phone above the volume switches. If it is in the silent position you'll get 2 short vibrations instead of the chirp.
