Off Topic-Becoming a Verizon Network Tester

I know this is way off topic, but I wasn't sure where else to post this. How does one apply for a job to become a Verizon Network Tester in their area? I'm constantly running real world tests from my phone around my area, contantly testing voice calls, texting, data, running speed/network tests, etc., and anytime I spot the slightest issue, I immediately report it. I'd be a valuable testing asset to the Verizon team if I'd be able to join.
Thanks!

Just thought would share the Verizon Wireless Careers website with you:

  • My phone will not connect to WIFI all the time, but if I cut it off and go thru Verizon network the it's fine. Everyone else in my house does not have this problem even tho they have same phone as me. I have restarted, reset, rebooted and done everything

    My 4S will get on internet but will not connect to any site including the App store or I tunes. If I cut Wifi off and go thru Verizon network then it is just fine. It is very slow loading tho. Everyone else in my house connects just fine.

    Jglee,
    I can understand how connecting to Wi-Fi is very important to maintain better control of your GB. I appreciate all the troubleshooting you have already tried to get this issue corrected.  Does your 4s have the most current software?  You can check this in setttings: Settings>General>Software Update.  Keep us posted.  We are here to help.

  • Slightly off topic - ATI test demos

    Hi,
    Slightly off topic question but...
    Many years ago a friend of mine (albeit a PC user) showed me a graphics card render demo which was a take on the Lobby Scene from The Matrix, designed to show of his (then) high powered graphics card (this was about 8 years ago)
    I was wondering if anyone knew of any websites that had these ATI graphics card rendering demos that would show off the power of the ATI X1900 card - I don't mean the .mov and .avi pre-rendered demo videos that are on ATi's site - I've already checked and the only ones they have are the ones for the older x800, what I'm after are things that are more like applications you run that render the video live. (ATI/AMD do have some but they are very old - when SmartShader 2.0 was released)
    Anyone know? or alternatively, any other rendering apps that can show of my 512mb's of graphics card-age?
    This is purely for entertainment...
    Many thanks!
    Regards,
    Ben
    I hope this makes sense!

    Usually push connectors for bare wires are designed for less or up to 200 circles ....
    Depending on the number of test performed, mounting time, ... I would ask the push button manufacturers for test fixture connectors . Take the linecard of some distributors (digikey, RS ... ) to find them.
    Might not be the cheapest solution on the first run, but for daily use good connectors are always worth the money.

  • After an update a week or two ago my iphone5 began to go off the correct time. This happens at night. It does not matter whether it is on the charger or not. I have OS6.0.1(10A525), Verizon network, a white 16Gig iPhone.

    So again...I have a 16G white iphone 5. It kept good time when I first got it. Then after an update to the ios about 2 weeks ago... it started to lose time at night. It's set for 10AM  and doesn't go off until about 30 to 40 minutes later. It only seems to lose time at night. It doesn't matter whether it is being charged or not. I have the white iphone 5, 6.0.1 (10A525), 16G, Verizon network, Washington state. I have had Verizon coverage for aver 10 years and never had this problem before the latest upgrade to my iphone5.
    I did remove the other world clocks thinking that might help but it did not.
    Any suggestions?

    No. You have no alternative but to plug it into a computer running iTunes and restore it.

  • Verizon Network Extender

    Any success stories using the Verizon Network Extender? I'm not having much success.  I tried setting the VNE up by connecting it to my AirPort Extreme and got blue LED's on power, GPS, and WAN fairly quickly, but the SYS LED was solid red. After an hour with no change I tried connecting the VNE directly to the modem thinking there may have been a conflict between the VNE and the APE. No such luck, in this config both the SYS and WAN LEDs remained red.
    I called Verizon Tech support and they had me reconnect the VNE to my APE and once again the SYS LED remained red. I spent several hours on and off the phone with Verizon Tech support running some tests and doing some troubleshooting but didn't get anywhere. The tech finally told me he would need to submit a troubleshooting ticket and that they would get back to me within 24hrs.
    My Google search didn't reveal anything concrete either. There were a number of people reporting success using the VNE with APE as well as a number of people reporting problems. The threads were a year or more old and none had any real solutions.
    I'd like to here from fellow forum members of their experience with the VNE.

        Hey chaseyDog,
    I am very sorry to hear about your troubles with the Network Extender. I know they do help a lot in terms of your service indoors so I can understand how much you want them to work. It seems like you have done a lot with your NE and we want to make sure it's working properly. Do you have any update on how it is working now? Was there a resolution provided to you from the ticket? Please let us know since we only want the best for you! Thanks!

  • Slightly off topic: JDev + 10g + recommended laptop

    Hi gang
    This is a slightly off-topic post in the forum. Apologies to the forum moderators up front.
    I'm in the process of purchasing a new laptop for development. Among other things I need to run Oracle 10g, + JDev + Solitaire.
    My assumption for such a laptop is I'll need a fast hd (7200rpm+) for builds, and lots of memory to run Oracle 10g and memory hogging Java JDev. Also extra screen real-estate would be ideal with the multi-pane JDev.
    However without the ability to walk into a laptop supplier, load up the software and do some tests, I'm not sure what would be sufficient. I don't want to go overboard on features in order to save $s, but I don't want something that wont run fast enough without bugging the Hell out of me either.
    Does anybody have any recommendations on what laptop they are currently running or what they would buy to run Oracle 10g + JDev? Are my assumptions correct or does anybody run this config with less, happily?
    Any help appreciated.
    Cheers,
    CM.

    I have been doing all of my jdev + oracle development exclusively on my PowerBook G4 for over a year now. JDev 9.0.5.2 runs great, and so does the new 10.1.3 preview. I have upgraded the memory on it to 1.5 GB, but even with the stock 512 it ran well. Plus, there are all of the productivity benefits from running Mac OS X. I was skeptical about it at first, as you might be, but once I switched over, I haven't even looked back. The 17 inch screen is beautiful, it works just fine on the Windows network at work, has all of the Unix tools underneath, and for the very few times a windows machine is needed, Virtual PC helps out. Do yourself a favor and check it out.

  • 4S Verizon Network / Internet Connectivity Issues?

    I have been having problems with what appears to be Verizon Network/Internet Connectivity issues. I am located in northern Colorado, using an iPhone 4S with a Mophie Air battery backup/case.
    I am in a solid 4G area (even though the phone is 3G) and I have not had any problems with any connection issues, until last night. I still see three bars of 3G service on the phone indicator area...so it is decieving. 
    I can still recieve emails, text messages, and phone calls, but nothing that uses the internet will work.  All apps seem to try to open and try to update, but the whizzy-wheel indicator just sits and spins until I get a "Network Error" message or a time out error of some kind. Most error pop-ups are saying to check the internet settings and try again. Ugh!
    Also, since it seems to be trying to recognize the network all the time (even when all tasks are killed and nothing should be running), my battery is going down MUCH faster today! I took it off of the charger at 7am and it was down to 20% battery in only 4 hours! Then I turned on the battery backup, and it is quickly using that up too! At this rate my phone will be completely DEAD by the time I leave work today, and I haven't even used it for anything all day (except to try to connect to the web a few times - testing)!
    I have tried the following so far to try to regain internet through the Verizon network, to no avail:
    checked for software updates...phone was up to date with iOS 6.0.1
    checked my firmware version (it is 3.0.04)
    killed all background/running apps (with the home button double-click/hold icon/end)
    "reset" my phone via a couple of methods (both the regular power off option and the force-power off option).
    *228, option 2 (to reset Roaming)
    cleared all data cache areas/cookies/etc.
    Cellular data is set to "On"; Roaming is set to "On" for all options;
    I have a 64GB device (57.3 usable capacity) of which I still show 46.2 available.
    WiFi is set to "Off" (although I can use WiFi at home with no problem if I need to, but I shouldn't have to!)
    Airplane Mode is set to "Off"; Restrictions are set to "Off"; Bluetooth is set to "Off"
    Basically, there is NO REASON my phone should be having connection issues! 
    PLEASE HELP?!!

    I tried everything you did and more, i thought i had it working, but i got a voicemail today and when i went to open it earlier it just has the wheel loading forever and then says it cant onnect to voicemail. the searching does make it wear down the battery faster as well.  i can get calls, texts etc, but i cant help but think there are a few bugs with the ios 6.01 software

  • VirtualBox - somewhat off-topic

    I know this is somewhat off-topic, but I'm hoping there's some expertise here that will be a bit more helpful than when I asked this on the VirtualBox forums.
    For a coupe of years now I've been running my own private test lab on my laptop, using VMworkstation. It's been working to my satisfaction, but with all the recommendations to use VirtualBox (after all, it's free) I thought I'd give it a try. This was a few months back, and I ran into a real problem with the way VB appears to handle networking vs. VMware.
    With VMware, I set all my virtual machines to use NAT. This allows me to give the vm a fixed IP address, not reveal itself outside the host OS, and still reach the internet for things like yum updates. Obviousely, bridged network would allow me to access the inernet, but would make me have to play by the rules of whatever network I'm on -- my company or my home ISP. Host only would address that but not allow me to pull updates from the internet.
    Now, with VirtualBox, I couldn't get NAT to work with a fixed IP address that I assigned to the vm. The guys at the VB forum couldn't seem to understand why that was an issue. They just kept saying to allow the vm to use a DHCP assigned address and 'everything just works'.
    I don't have VB installed at the moment, so can't re-run tests, but thought I'd throw this out to see if it rings a bell with anyone, and if so if there might be a solution. I still tend to believe VB will do a fixed guest IP with NAT and I just wasn't seeing how to make it work, but perhaps not.
    Comments?

    Dude wrote:
    In NAT mode, the guest network interface is assigned to the IPv4 range 10.0.x.0/24 by default where x corresponds to the instance of the NAT interface +2. So x is 2 when there is only one NAT instance active. In that case the guest is assigned to the address 10.0.2.15, the gateway is set to 10.0.2.2 and the name server can be found at 10.0.2.3.
    If, for any reason, the NAT network needs to be changed, this can be achieved with the following command:
    VBoxManage modifyvm "VM name" --natnet1 "192.168/16"
    This command would reserve the network addresses from 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.254.254 for the first NAT network instance of "VM name". The guest IP would be assigned to 192.168.0.15 and the default gateway could be found at 192.168.0.2.
    I suggest to review the documentation for more details
    http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch06.html
    Sorry for the delayed response. I've just now re-installed VBox and created a 64-bit Oracle Linux 5.7 machine.
    After reading yet again the networking chapter in the VBox user manual, I'm afraid I'm just as confused as ever. Perhaps if I detail exactly how I'm used to setting things up with VMware and the resulting behavior, we can see the corollary for VBox.
    When I install VMware, it creates two network adapters on the host OS, vmnet1 and vmnet8. vmnet8 is used for NAT. I've installed on several machines and vmnet8 is always assigned an address of 192.168.something.1. The 'something' seems to vary from install to install. I'm not sure what controls the assigned value there, but have never really needed to explore that. My current setup is at 192.168.111.1.
    Next, I create a virtual machine. There I configure eth0 to use a fixed IP address of 192.168.xxx.yyy, where 'xxx' matches the value of the vmnet8 adapter on the host os, and 'yyy' is assigned sequentially, starting with 101 for the first machine I create, 102 for the next, etc. When creating these machines, I've found I have to set the gateway and DNS address to 192.168.xxx.2.
    With that setup,
    - my guest vm can ping the host
    - the host can ping the guest vm
    - I can create an entry in the host os's 'hosts' file pointing to the guest vm (ie: 192.168.111.101 vmlnxsrv01.vmdomain vmlnsxrv01), then use that name to refer to the vm
    - I can use an ssh client like putty (on the host os) to connect to the vm, exactly like I would connect to a remote box on my company's network
    - The vm can reach the internet to do web browsing, download rpms, etc.
    Now, when i installedVbox, it created one additional network adapter on the host os. It is running at 192.168.56.1
    I created the virtual machine, giving it a fixed IP address of 192.168.56.111, gateway and dns address of 192.168.56.2
    Ping of the vm ip address from the host returns 'host unreachable' doesn't work either direction

  • Wireless network test report says wireless radio is not functioning, c7280

    Wireless does not seem to stay on.  Printed a wireless network test report and it says, "The wireless radio is not functioning. Contact HP support". 

    Let's reset the printer - turn the printer off, hold the # and 6 keys while turning it back on.

  • On a wireless network test report, I get "The wireless radio is not functioning."

    The printer is a Photosmart C309a all-in-one.  I've used this printer for some time and did so wirelessly earlier today.  Upon ordering a print job the printer failed to produce results.  I ran a Network Configuration Page where it showed the printer to be offline with no Active Connection Type.  I then ran a Wireless Network Test report and received the message: "The wireless radio is not functioning.  Contact HP Support."  IS THERE A FIX FOR THIS?
    I reinstalled the printer software on my computer configuring it with a USB connection, in order to be able to use the printer.  I was able to use it with the USB connection but would most definitely prefer a wireless connection.  I also turned off the printer, router and computer and turned them on in the order outlined in the user's manual, but to no avail.  This, of course, I did before reinstalling the software for a USB connection.    

    Hi,
    I afraid the error indicate an an hardware failure..
    You may try using a wired ethernet cable as a workaround, the printer will need to be services in order to repair its wireless card.
    You may find the details to contact HP support by selecting your region and following Technical Support after you buy:

  • Newbie wireless question (slightly off-topic)

    I didn't want to post this here as it's not entirely an Airport-specific question. I posted this to the iBook forums, but nobody there has answered so my apologies if this is not welcome here. (Any moderators can remove it if that's the case.)
    I've been using computers extensively for over a decade, but I'm a total newbie to wifi. I just set up a wireless network in my house and would appreciate some advice/feedback.
    My main concerns are whether or not my network is reasonably secure. I know there is no such thing as perfect security, but I don't know if what I've done is good enough or not.
    I don't have an Airport base station, but I do have a D-Link Airplus G and an Airport card in my iBook. I have WEP set up on the router and I have enabled MAC filtering, listing only my desktop and my iBook, excluding all others from the network.
    I'm fairly certain that nobody in my neighborhood is going to get into my machines this way or be able to sniff my network data stream, but am I right in assuming that nobody can "piggyback" on my Internet connection too? Presumably, if everyone but my own machines are MAC-filtered and kept out, then the Internet connection is also protected. Is that how it works?

    WEP and MAC filtering are better than nothing, but you can do better. These are my suggestions:
    1. Use WPA with a pre-shared key (PSK) and TKIP encryption on your Netgear router, along with an alphanumeric passphrase of at least eight characters not found in any dictionary. The equivalent setting on your Mac is "WPA Personal". Unlike WEP security (which an expert can crack in under half an hour), WPA security is currently unhackable by any practical means as long as you use a non-dictionary passphrase. One last point - WPA security requires all your wireless Macs to be running MacOS 10.3 or newer.
    2. MAC filtering is (these days) essentially useless as a wireless security method. Using "packet sniffing" of traffic on your wireless network to find out what MAC addresses are used by computers on your network, and a PC that allows its MAC address to be cloned so that it is identical to the MAC address of one your own wireless computers (which is possible with most PC wireless network adapters) even an amateur hacker can defeat MAC address filtering in minutes.
    By the way - I don't think your posted message here is off topic. In my opinion, the Airport discussion forums are the best place to post any questions related to usage of wireless networks. Questions of this nature are virtually never specific to any Mac model.

  • Slightly off topic: Read-only tables pre 11g

    Hi gang
    I'm just writing up a database quiz for a local user group and I was hoping I could get a bit of inspiration from the database experts.
    One of the questions will be "prior to 11g with the introduction of read-only tables, how could you make a table read-only?". The answers I've come up with:
    1) Security priviliges (schema + grant SELECT)
    2) Triggers
    3) Create a check constraint with disable validate
    4) Read-only tablespace
    5) Read-only database (standby)
    6) (Slightly crazy) Create view, and instead-of triggers that do nothing (similar to 2)
    7) Write the query results on a piece of paper and then turn the database off
    Anybody have any other answers, real or slightly off topic like mine please? ;)
    Cheers,
    CM.

    Check constraint and trigger solutions may have problems with sqlldr direct path operations, so using it together with alter table disable lock may be mandatory depending on the needs. Especially if DDLs are also wanted to be avoided.

  • Unable to access Verizon network!

    Unable to access Verizon network! Got pop up window that "you've reached your mobile data usage limit.  Mobile data turned off. " I have option to click re-enable button but doing so may result in additional charges.  I've check settings, my mobile data box is checked. When I try to open a web page it tells me I'm off line with message "Wi-Fi and mobile data are turned off. The page can be loaded once you connect to a network. Error code: ERR_INTERNET_DISCONNECTED"  My wi-fi DOES work, it's the Verizon network that I cannot access. Someone PLEASE HELP.

    Check the graph in your Data Usage section; it sounds like you've enabled the Alert About Data Usage feature, have reached that limit, and the phone is now restricting your data usage accordingly.  For more info., see:

  • Internal Verizon Network problems - How to escalate tickets

    Does anyone have a number other than the standard technical support to contact to escalate a ticket?  I have had two experiences where first line support opened an automated test ticket which supposedly found a problem that a technician needed to be dispatched.  Both were closed, and no technician ever came to the house. Last night a third ticket was opened by a rep who was not willing to transfer me to a supervisor.
    I have done extensive troubleshooting and determined the internal Verizon network is experiencing 14-22% packet loss on server nsrest01.verizon.net which happens to be the primary served DNS for my area.  This occurs especially when sending ping packets 512k or larger.  Incidentally the first two hops are not having packet loss that I can detect. 
    If you have a Windows box, drop to a command prompt and do ping -t -l 512 nsrest01.verizon.net  and let it run for 20 minutes and see how much packet loss it receives.  Even from other broadband providers the pings are lossy.
    First line support is looking at my end of the circuit as the problem.  I have been told that I can not email any logs to support, which is rediculous.  I have spent hours of my time opening tickets, waiting for automated tests,  and waiting for technicians who did not show up.  How many of these does a customer need to open with first level support before they can be helped?

    While I do not know the answer to your question, #1 I point can tell that you can test the DNS Servers http://www.grc.com/dns/benchmark.htm #2 And I point you to the post by "Kerry Liles" said at "news.grc.com" in the "grc.techtalk" area in a thread titled "Problems Accessing A Couple Of Websites" X-Url: http://www.GRC.com/groups/techtalk:231784 Xref: news.grc.com grc.techtalk:231784 http://12078.net/grcnews/article.php?group=grc.techtalk&id=231784 Quick quote ** Many ISPs cannot configure and run a proper dns service. Although it is not an easy task, it is possible to do so **
