On my 3rd Bionic

My first Bionic was purchased October 28th. Fast forward of hours phone time with Verizon tech support, Moto tech support, and many trips to store.
Since my job is data dependent, I got cable internet installed so I would have data at home, instead of counting on my Verizon data plans.
FedEx brings handset number 3, today, along with new SIM card. I will try to swap tonight and see if the connection is any better. Verizon is fully aware of the problems I, as well as others have had. Seems I have gotten somebody attention. At this time Verizon is working on a solution to make me happy.
I will patiently wait for the outcome of the conversation before I go any further. I have steered many people friends and family to Verizon and the Android platform, now I am really hearing it from the Apple/AT&T fanboys. My job as a first responder is data dependent, well lack of for the past months. My Verizon soak test has been launched, I hope Verizon comes through and makes things right for all Bionic users.
If a Verizon Corp.., representative contacted you, what could they do to make you happy and feel justified for the headaches and lack of data? Well, within reason? Anyone asked for or getting a bill credit? Anyone received a different NEW phone? I  am wanting to know what others have been offered or given, I guess.
Post up lets see what Verizon is doing to help us, the red headed BIONIC step children.

I am also on my 3rd Bionic, I bought my first after I came back from my Honeymoon, with in the first week I was having issues, a high pitches feedback in external speakers. The rep talked me out of buying the lapdock for the bionic and waiting for the lapdock pro. I spent over $300 in accessories( Otterbox, Extra Battery, External Charger, Moto Headset, Screen Protectors. I went back to the store after experiencing the problem he told me that they knew about it and that I should wait for the update in later September. The end of September came and went, in the middle of October I did a factory reset to see if it fixed anything. I started having 3G issues as I didn't have any 3G and when I dropped my 4G connection would lose my data all together until I pulled a power cycle.  They sent me a new SIM card. The techs had me do a Factory reset, this cost me my market app (Google says its because my SIM info doesn't match the market info). I then did a factory reset to fix this and had a bunch of connectivity issues and spontaneously missing apps as a result of that reset. I finally got the last official update and my battery life has gone to 4 hours of less and that's with the data radio usually off, the connection issues are more prevalent as I have to keep it off to make it through the day. I cannot disable the screen lock mechanism. The radio is causing interference still, the system is using up my battery, I am still suffering from connection drops, I cannot access my app on the marketplace. I have all three Bionics sitting in front of me and I am having the same problem with all three of them. Please fix this guys. I am wanting to add a lapdock (seeing as how I cannot use the lapdock pro with my phone), tablet, and mobile hotspot/phone with mobile hotspot, and need to add another smartphone for my wife, but I refuse to until you can get these problems fixed and make things right for tricking me into being stuck with this phone. I have an extra battery and external charger and I have to keep flipping back and forth to make it through the day especially with an Otterbox cover, its not fun? Also Question does the induction charger back have to make contact with the charger or could I use it with my case?

  • Bionic touchscreen issues galore!!!

         I've been trying for the last couple of days to figure out why my phone keeps acting on it's own, i.e. the touchscreen acting bizarre(while unplugged).  I tried a few things to fix it but no go, and just a little while ago i stopped messing with it and shut it off in order to deal with it in the morning.  My phone was TURNED OFF...and a few minutes later the phone started up again on it's own.  There is a serious problem with this phone(disappointed) so before I do a hard reset and lose all my stuff(I can't even sync my google stuff right now), does anyone have any suggestions or tips on another fix or solution?  If I have to return this phone, it will be the first time I've ever had to do that and it'll be frustrating.  Thanks for any and all help.

    Good luck to you. I'm on my 3rd bionic and am very disappointed with this phone. All kinds of issues with this phone, no internet connectivity, touch keyboard not working, runaway data usage (1.5 gigs in 4 days for no apparent reason), very poor battery life, the first one had a very poor camera, and on and on. I paid 300 dollars for a new phone and now they keep sending me refurbished units with more problems. I would not recommend this phone.
    I still have my original lemon Bionic. Like you, I am very disappointed, and not with just the phone but with the response from Verizon and Moto..who say 'we will fix this some day but please keep paying". I don't want to start getting refurbs. However, the odd thing is that some people do not seem to be having any problems, so there must be a Bionic out there somewhere that works, maybe by the 4th or 5th refurb, you will get one. I don't know what else to do, I have complained to this brick wall till I am tired.

  • This phone is bad news bears, and so is VZW support

    So back in Septemberish I purchased a Thunderbolt. It wouldn't hold a data connection to save its life, yadda yadda yadda, I'm sure you all know the deal.
    After 2 replacement Thunderbolts, they offered me a choice between Charge and Bionic. I chose Bionic. Same problem. At least half the times I pick up my phone, I have no data and have to restart it or try the airplane mode trick. I'm on my 3rd Bionic and 3rd SIM card. Nothing helped. This is really, really frustrating because it defeats the purpose of having a smart phone when I can't use it to look up prices in a store or use GPS navigation, or the other neat features that require a data connection.
    Today the tech support guy said that the problem is especially bad with the Bionic, and that the HTC Rezound is the best phone for data connections. So I asked him "Ok, so why don't you sent me one of those?" and he said that he can't because I already was switched from Thunderbolt to Bionic. But that I could purchase a Rezound for $199.
    I told him that I already spent $199 on a phone that hasn't worked correctly since I got it, but there was nothing he could do. I don't blame him since he's just the messenger, but it seems like I'd be better off taking my $199 to a company that can actually give a reliable data connection.
    Seems to me that VZW should stand behind their phones and service better than they do. When data phones can't do data, there's a serious problem. What bothers me the most is that they admit that the problem is there, that it's especially bad on the Bionic, but there is nothing they will do about it.

    I still think you are not noticing the pattern, you have had issue with the same problem on two different devices but you are still blaming the devices, sounds like you may have network issues in your area because I have the TB and Droid X and both have had reports that the device had issues with network connection...  Both of my devices only showed issues when the network was having issues.
    All I am saying you may need to look at the situation from a different angle because the chance of 2 devices by different manufacturers proves it cant be the device causing you issue.

  • What is the life expectancy of the Bionic?

    I'm not really looking for an answer to that question, just pondering!  I purchased the Bionic November 2011 and within in the past few weeks I am having hardware problems (along with 4G connectivity).  I am very easy on the phone and it is handled with care.The microphone went out and I received my "like new" replacement that came with a long scratch on the screen and the speaker (ear) made an annoying buzzing sound that would not stop!
      So, my second "like new" replacement arrived a few days later and...tada...it will not power up!  And no it is not just me...the same problem happened at the Verizon store.  I will receive my 3rd "like new' replacement within a 2 week span.  I am so tired of having to reinstall apps, accounts and the list goes on.
    Anyone else having problems?
    Despite the lack of love Verizon gives to the Bionic owners, I continue to love my Bionic (when it works)! And hope that I actually receive a "like new" replacement tomorrow. (And I must say that the customer service/tech support on the telephone have been wonderful)
    Is my luck really that bad or is the Bionic nearing its last days?  We shall see!

    I was wondering how long the actual device is made to last...the battery life for me has been about 4 hours for me.  My last Droid lasted about a a year and half before the hardware started failing.  Years ago phones lasted several years before falling apart.  I'm just curious to see if I am the only one with problems or is the Bionic known to have issues.  But after receiving all of the replacement phones that are inoperable I'm beginning to think the Bionic is a dyeing breed. 
    Thanks for the suggestion...I had not thought about contacting Motorola directly.  I did receive the 3rd replacement phone and it too is inoperable.  The folks in the store had no idea how to get it do anything.  All they can do is send me another replacement phone. 

  • Playing WMV Files on Bionic

    I transferred a movie to my phone but it just tells me there's an error cannot be displayed or played. How do you get WMV files to play on the Bionic?

    use a 3rd party app. Its not that the bionic cant play them, its that the stock app does not play them. Theres alot of different players you can find on the market. I really like android phones because if the phone cant do something, changes are that someone made an app for it.

  • IPhone vs HTC Thunderbolt vs. Droid Bionic

    So i'm up for an upgrad and I can't decide if I should go ahead and get the iPhone or wait for the thunderbolt or the bionic? Which phone do you think is better?

    Im going to give you MY opinion. I received the iPhone and returned it after 10 days. It was exciting to get my hands on it but the excitement weared off and i started to get bored of it. There are many issues with iOS and the iPhone, not realy issues rather things that some people find inconvenient. For example the terrible notification system apple built....the lack of LED light, the terrible email....its great at the extras like apps and browser, but the things that a phone must do, apple makes those things secondary which is not smart. The iPhone is a cool device but is not reliable when you need to use it as a phone. 
    If you like android i would definetly go for the droid bionic, i wouldnt go for the thunderbolt because we dont know how much the rates are so you dont want to be surprised with an enormous data charge monthly, wait until verizon releases their 3rd 4g device (bionic) and then jump on it....Bionic is also from motorola and they have very reliable hardware and software. The bionic is the next generation of the droid, droid 2, and droid X. 
    I dont suggest the iPhone, its old and i made a mistake by buying into the hype. Go for the bionic thats what im probably gonna do.

  • HP AiO remote doesn't recognize 3rd party toner as compatible in LaserJet M1217nfw MFP

    Hi,
    I have a HP Envy 17 running Windows 8.1, a MacBook Air, an iPhone and a HP LaserJet M1217nfw MFP.  I recently replaced the toner with a 3rd party replacement cartridge and while the printer does give me a "supply memory error" I am still able to print just fine from the Mac and my phone.  I am unable however to print from my Envy.  The HP All-in-One Remote app in Windows 8 gives me an "incompatible cartridge" message and says there are no solutions availble.  Is there a work-around to this?
    I am not very good at Windows 8....
    Thanks

    Hi Thaddeus,
    Although the printer may resoponse to some commands, a supply memory error is an error state about the used cartridge.
    Due the error message on the screen the HP AIO Remote recognize the cartridge as incompatible, that cannot be bypassed
    with any settings, resolving the issue which cause the error message is the only key to resolve a such.
    If the HP AiO Remote fails to print in such condition the only solution is to fully resolve the condition by following the steps listed in my previous post.

  • 3rd Party AIFF loops tempo changes from loop library and Logic session

    Hi there,
    Hope somebody out there can help me out!
    I've recently purchased some 3rd party loops, some in AIFF and some in WAV (Which I have converted to AIFF using the Apple Loops Utility), and i have been able to get these into the logic Loop library successfully.....Or so I thought!
    The problem I am having is that when previewing one of my loops it's often double the speed that the set tempo, and this will happen to ALL of my loops. But when I drag one into my session, Logic asks if it should copy over the automation data with it, click yes, and it plays fine in the arrange window. And funnily enough, all of my loops in the library start playing at the correct tempo!
    Once this has all happened, i've tried quitting logic, and re-opening....but the issue just happens again....
    Has anyone else had this problem, or have any idea as to what the issue may be??
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

  • Can I use an 2nd (or even 3rd) Apple TV device in our entertainment room that has multiple TV's

    First of all I'm wiling to buy as many apple TV's as needed, so my question is not about how to do everything with one Apple TV device...but rather how to get multiple Apple TV devices in the same general location of the house to work without interfearing with one another. We bought a new (2nd) TV for the entertainment room so that our kids could use the 2nd TV for putting stuff up (via Apple TV airplay) from their phones and ipads...and still watch TV on the other TV.
    Well, it turns out they often don't want to watch TV but rather use airplay from different devices on BOTH TV'S. Currently, we have one (2nd or 3rd generation) apple TV already and one problem/issue I have noticed was that if someone (Watcher #1) was already streaming to the Apple TV via airplay...a second person (Watcher #2) using a different device (iphone, ipad, etc) could send something via airplay to the same Apple TV which would automatically "override" and cause Watcher #1''s program/video/pic to stop and thus allow Watcher #2 to start watching...much to the annoyance of Watcher #1. (With 2 kids you can just imagine the arguing and fighting that goes on)
    So, besides trying to eliminate this "battle of the airplays"...I'm curious if we buy a second Apple TV for the same room...how can we hook it up so there is no conflict...and how will which apple TV know which device is trying to to send airplay to it. I get the feeling that that we will end up with 2 TV's playing the same feed from one device...unless there is a better and more proper way.
    Also, I would like to add a3rd Apple TV device to the TV in our home office so that I can use as well...but because of the close proximity to the entertainment room...I fear that if I try to send a feed to the apple TV in the office it will start to play on the TV's in the entertainment room.

    You can have as many ATV's as you want, but I STRONGLY STRONGLY STRONGLY encourage you to use wired connections on all of them.  AirPlay is a god awful bug ridden failure prone feature under the best of circumstances.   Using it over WiFi is much worse.  And the band width load of three different devices connection to your WiFi access point to three different ATV's (total of six concurrent connections) will very likely over whelm your WiFi hardware.  
    I actually encourage people to always use a wired connection with ATV in general.  It saves a LOT of head ache and frustration.  With three it is even more important.   As far as controlling which one you connect to.  They are three separate devices.  You select which one you want to send something too.  So if you want to send something to the one in your office then just select that ATV.   It would probably be good to setup their names to be the location.   So something like "Office Apple TV". 
    As far as kids being brats and intentionally interrupting each others AirPlay connections...   Well there is only so much Apple can fix.  If someone else on the network that has access is deturnomand to be a jerk and interrupt someone else content they would be able to.

  • How can I use a 3rd party XML parser such as xerces with OC4J ?

    Hi all tech experts,
    I am using Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) and i have
    installed Portal and Wireless and OracleAS Infrastructure on the same
    computer.
    i tried all the solutions on this thread
    Use of Xerces Parser in out application with Oracle App Server 9.0.4
    but still fighting.
    I have also posted this query on OTN on following thread
    How can I use a 3rd party XML parser such as xerces with OC4J?
    but no reply....
    Please help me on this issue.
    Since OC4J is preconfigured to use the Oracle XML parser which is xmlparserv2.jar.
    i have read the following article which states that
    OC4J is preconfigured to use the Oracle XML parser. The Oracle XML parser is fully JAXP 1.1 compatible and will serve the needs of applications which require JAXP functionality. This approach does not require the download, installation, and configuration of additional XML parsers.
    The Oracle XML parser (xmlparserv2.jar) is configured to load as a system level library of OC4J through it's inclusion as an entry in the Class-Path entry of the oc4j.jar Manifest.mf file. This results in the Oracle XML parser being used for all common deployment and packaging situations. You are not permitted to modify the Manifest.mf file of oc4j.jar.
    It must be noted that configuring OC4J to run with any additional XML parser or JDBC library is not a supported configuration. We do know customers who have managed to successfully replace the system level XML parser and the Oracle JDBC drivers that ship with the product, but we do not support this type of configuration due to the possibility of unexpected system behavior and system errors that might occur from replacing the tested and certified libraries.
    If you absolutely must use an additional XML parser such as xerces, then you have to start OC4J such that the xerces.jar file is loaded at a level above the OC4J system classpath. This can be accomplished using the -Xbootclasspath flag of the JRE.
    i have also run the following command
    java -Xbootclasspath/a:d:\xerces\xerces.jar -jar oc4j.jar
    but no success.
    How could i utilize my jar's like xerces.jar and xalan.jar for parsing instead of OC4J in-built parser ?
    All reply will be highly appreciated.
    Thnx in advance to all.

    Hi Neeraj Sidhaye,
    I am trying to deploy a sample xform application to the Oracle Application Server (10.1.3). However, I encountered the class loader issue that is similar to your stuation. I tried all the three solutions but the application is still use the Oracle xml paser class. I am wondering if you have any insight about this?
    Thanks for your help.

  • 3rd generation ipod touch that will no longer sync but charges

    I have a 3rd generation ipod touch.  It was syncing to my itunes just fine and then one day it stopped syncing.  It shows that its charging but never syncs anything.  When i click to do a manual sync, it goes through the process but does not transfer any music.  Any suggestions.  I am running windows 7 64bit if that makes any difference with the newest version of itunes. 

    On your computer go to the control panel (hover in the lower right corner) then programs, add/remove programs
    Uninstall iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Service, Apple Application Support then go to apple.com and redownload and reinstall iTunes and try again.
    You won't lose any content, you're not deleting that, just the programs that access them.
    What is thought to happen is that sometimes a new version of itunes doesn't update the drivers in those other two programs. The only way to update the drivers is to force it by uninstalling the programs which allows itunes to write the correct ones.
    My iPad and iPod did exactly the same thing and this is how I fixed it.

  • Video Podcasts No Longer Work on my 2nd (3rd?) Gen. iPod Touch!

    Okay, I'm not really sure if I actually have a 2nd or 3rd generation iPod touch.  It's a 8 GB, and I bought it in November of 2009 or so.  I'm guessing it's a 2nd generation since it stopped updating after iOS 4.2.1.  Now with that out of the way, onto the real question....
    There was a new iTunes version a few days ago, so I went ahead and updated that.  Ever since, I have had difficulties with any new VIDEO podcasts that I download.  I cannot sync them onto my iPod at all.  Audio podcasts work just fine, but video podcasts do not.  I have literally tried everything - restoring my iPod, deleting and re-downloading the podcasts, and even re-installed iTunes completely.  I figure that it might have something to do with the file type of the videos, but I would've gotten an error message if that had been the case.  I am extremely puzzled.  Please advise. 

    No one?   

  • Totally unresponsive and unrecognized by iTunes brand new iPod Touch 3rd gen

    Within less than 24 hrs of setting up brand new 3rd gen iPod touch it is totally unresponsive. While using it, the screen went black, felt a little warmer than normal, and now won't do anything. I've tried resetting by pressing on/off and home buttons. Tried this even after plugging in to computer for 20+ min and still nothing. iTunes no longer recognizes it, so I cannot restore it. I am just stuck with a black screen with absolutely no response. I'm at a loss on what to do next or what might be wrong.  Have been all over this site for a solution, but just can't seem to find one that helps me.  Apple Stores are 3 hrs away from where I live. Very careful with the device, not dropped, not wet, just simply using it.  Any help greatly appreciated... my son is devistated.

    See if placing the iPod in Recovery Mode will allow iTunes to see the iPod so you can restore via iTunes.
    Next would be an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Airplay no longer working with 3rd party after upgrading to Maverick.

    I updated my MacBook Pro this week and I have noticed that the airplay icon is no longer showing up in iTunes to connect to my Denon Amplifier. The interesting thing is that my old iPad 1 that I have that is still running 5.1.1 can connect and play to the receiver just fine.
    Was there an update to the airplay software that would affect 3rd party devices? I was not able to find any new updates for my receiver.

    I woke up this morning with the same problem (all was fine last night).  Only way to get all my mailbox folders back was to use Time Machine while in Mail, choosing the backup file from previous night and selecting EACH MAILBOX to restore (23 for me).  All appears okay so far today (except some of my accessories in the menu bar are gone). 
    I sure hope an update comes SOON.  In anticipation of Mavericks and the new MAIL I switched from Outlook 2011 3 weeks ago transfering 17,000+ files and would hate to back
