The upgrade are a hoax and phone work slower.

After the last upgrade, kit kat, my Samsung Galaxy S III is not working properly. Whenever Verizon offers an upgrade, the phone work slower. Call customer service and the solution they offer is BUY A NEW PHONE. I had said it once and I did not believe but I am starting to believe it's true. The upgrade slower operated the aircraft for customers to buy new phones. I'm driving the possibility of imposing a class action may not be possible because they force us to buy new phones when you buy this one years ago. Unfortunate, but so customers leave.

There are no class actions allowed per US Supreme Court decision.
However class actions against the phone makers are possible.
That is paranoid thinking in regards to updates not coded by Verizon are done to make your device unusable.
Good Luck

  • Since upgrading to 6.01 iOS the app upgrades are locked up and will not download

    Since upgrading to 6.01 iOS the app upgrades are locked up and will not download.

    My wife's phone had similar symptoms, at least with the text notification alert not working.  I have narrowed it down to happening after we use the new navigation feature in the Maps.  When we power the phone off and back on, the alert sound seems to return.  I haven't tried just "killing" the Maps app after we use it...perhaps that would work as well.

  • I transfered my purchases from my iphone to my mac. All transfers completed. One particular album shows up on the phone but the songs are greyed out and don't play. Itunes shows album as purchased but album is not in my Mac library.

    I transfered my purchases from my iphone to my mac. All transfers completed. One particular album shows up on the phone but the songs are greyed out and don't play. Itunes store shows album as purchased but album does not show up in my Mac library. How can I retrieve the album.

    So i've found the answer to this by clicking on every menu and setting in the itunes store. It turns out some purchases in the cloud can be hidden probably as the result of an interrupted transfer/sync/backup or a network outage. To unhide purchases 'greyed out ' items , go to the Itunes store (on the PC) click on your account name and select view account. (you'll be prompted for your itunes password) once you are in scroll down to the purchase history section. there should be an option for hidden purchases. click through and click on unhide purchases, redownloadble purchases. any hidden purchases will then show up. click on unhide to reactivate and download. This may only work for purchases in the cloud.
    hope others find this useful.

    What happens if i reset my iphone?
    Hi, Sorry, have edited my first post to you as I misread your question...
    A reset is like a reboot on a computer...  You will not lose any Data...
    Resetting your phone:
    Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release the buttons...

  • My phone thinks the headphones are plugged in and I can't get any sounds.  How to fix?

    My iphone 5 thinks that the headphones are plugged in and they are not.  I used them earlier today but they are no longer plugged in to the phone. I can't get any sound (text alerts, ringing, etc) on the phone outside headphones.  Any ideas on how to fix?

    I have resolved my own problem thanks to reviewing other discussions. The solution that worked for me and that was suggested by an Apple store associate some time ago was to plug and unplug my headphone jack into the iPad four times. On the fourth time leave the headphone jack connected and rotate the plug clockwise, then remove and try your sound. When you use the external volume control the HEADPHONE label should be gone. It appears I have to do this now every time after I've used my headphone jack.

  • I recently repaired disk permissions on my mac HD and now my on-board speakers wont work, the icon is greyed out and only works when my headphones are plugged in.

    Try to put your headphones several times in and out from your connection, might be the switch is stuck. Normally it should work again while trying to plug the headphones in and out!

  • Greetings: I have just acquired an older mini mac (2006 1.66 ghz core 2 duo) Anyway, it had Tiger 10.4 on it and the Bluetooth worked.  I upgraded to Snow Leopard and everything works fine - except Bluetooth. The Bluetooth icon isn't there. Any ideas?

    Greetings:
    I have just acquired an older mini mac (2006 1.66 ghz core 2 duo) Anyway, it had Tiger 10.4 on it and the Bluetooth worked for the wireless Apple keyboard and mouse.  I upgraded to Snow Leopard and everything works fine - everything except Bluetooth.
    The Bluetooth icon does not exist in the System Preferenc screen.
    I tried to download Bluetooth from Apple site but the message I got told me that I didn't need it. 
    Under Finder, Utilities, I found Bluetooth File Exchange but the message I got was that I had to connect a Bluetooth device to my computer.
    I have to admit that I have no idea what's going on here.  I am hoping to avert the need to try another complete re-install of Snow Leopard.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Puzzled is a polite word for it.
    Thanks Barry - I found the file and trie to send it to trash.  The response: (This item cannot be trashed as it it owned by the system).
    After dancing around with PRAM and SMC and turning on while holding the power-cntrl-option-shift and heavens knows what else, I now have the Bluetooth symbol on the top of the menu bar but it is ghoseted and has a squiggly line through it.   This, I didn't have before so I read this as some progress.  It notes that "Bluetooth is not available">
    However, the Bluetooth icon is still missing from the System Preferences window - you know, between "network" and "sharing".
    You note that you reckon the issue is not software based and you may be correct.  The reason that I wonder about that though, is that before I installed Snow Leopard, the keyboard and mouse both paired with the box under the Tiger 10.4.  That leads me to conclude that hardware is functional and that there is some screwy little bit of software that is not cooperating.
    If I could delete Bluetooth from the system and re-install a fresh version, that might help.  Or, is there a way I can use the Snow Leopard install disc and only load in Bluetooth?
    I'm stumped.
    Thanks for your time

  • I installed iWork11 but the '09 versions of the software are still running--and the default. What do I need to do to get the '11 versions working?

    I installed iWork11 but the '09 versions of the software are still running--and the default. What do I need to do to get the '11 versions working?

    It's very simple. If you want to use iPhoto, just let it manage things as it does. Other than that: Export from iPhoto and delete the image from iPhoto. That will remove the master and all versions.
    If space is an issue... use an external disk.
    Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things, deleting them or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.

  • I spilled a small amount of wine on my macbook pro, I know, killing myself over this! I dried it fully but 24 hours later the keys are very sticky and it won't find the Bluetooth module - everything else seems to be working fine. Thanks for any tips!

    I spilled a small amount of wine on my macbook pro keyboard, I know, killing myself over this! I dried it fully but 24 hours later the keys are very sticky and it won't find the Bluetooth module so I can't use my magic mouse - everything else seems to be working fine. Thanks for any tips!

    Your keyboard will never be right again; it needs to be replaced. There's no effective way to clean sticky stuff out of it. Your Bluetooth module may have been shorted out and destroyed, and it probably isn't dry yet after only 24 hours.
    Take your machine in for repair, and expect a hefty bill in the hundreds of dollars.

  • Most of the calls are ended suddenly and the phone turhes off

    most of the calls are ended suddenly and the phone turnes off

    Are you using any accessories with the iPhone, like a  protective case or bluetooth headset? If you ar try testing the iPhone without the accessories.
    If that doesn't take care of it, try restoring the iPhone.

  • HT1296 how to make the upgraded apps reflect in i phone ?

    i have synced my iphone and itunes in macair. i have upgraded the apps in itunes of macair. but the upgrades are not reflecting in the iphone.
    the upgrades are shown in different versions in phone and itunes of macair.
    Kindly guide how to get the reflections of upgrade in iphone ?

    Okay I copied iTimelapse Pro app (one of the 150 missing ones) from the Time Capsule hard drive to my laptops hard drive and synced iTunes with iPhone and I can see all my timelapse projects in there! Have to check if really all data is retained and then continue. It's a lot of work to try remember which apps are missing but I think we have a solution here: all the data from the apps are in the backup from today, it's just the apps that got messed up because of iTunes corrupted the links.
    Thank you very much KiltedTim! Wouldn't solve this without you.

    I recently migrated my MacBook from 10.5.8 to 10.6.8, using the Snow Leopard CD I purchased from Apple. Since then I have noticed a strange ozone smell coming from the MacBook in the area where the hinges are to open and close the unit. I was told by Apple that it probably is not serious and is coming from the fans in the MacBook. It is true that the smell/odor is more intense when the fans are working. Apple said I should take the MacBook to an Apple Store to have the hardware checked out. Everything seems to be working correctly. I am backing up automatically wirelessly to a Time Capsule, which I had not done until recently, although I had purchased the Time Capsule in 2009. I have not noticed this odor before. Does anyone suspect something more serious that may be going on?

    You may be smelling it because with the new OS the processor is having to work harder causing it to get hotter then it would with the other OS.  I can't say there is nothing wrong, but what could be happening is just that, it's getting hotter so the fan is spinning faster and moving more air so you are getting more of the smell then you would before.  I would still continue to back it up, and take it to the Apple Store at a Genius Bar and have them look at it to make sure.  Was the computer ever in a smoky environment??

  • Ever since installing iCloud and Lion my computer is slow or freezes.  The color wheel comes on and My work stops.  I have only a small window of time where my computers will function normally during the day. I know many others that have the same problem.

    Ever since installing iCloud and Lion my computer is slow or freezes.  The color wheel comes on and My work stops.  I have only a small window of time where my computers will function normally during the day. I know many others that have the same problem. I'll get 20-30 minutes of work done and then a sync or something comes on, the color wheel of death shows up, and my productivity is shot.  I have to shut the computer down the hard way!  when it comes back up, it is still either frozen or slow.  I've checked in at the genius bar and all they say is that there have been some problems that Apple is trying to fix.  It effects Mail, Contacts, Safari, Calendar....yeah, pretty much everything.  My iPhone and iPad are not effected as much so I end up doing what I can with them.  I've seen the blogs out there and understand that many have the same problem.  I have been waiting to read about a fix but I have found nothing!  Any ideas?

    Not enough free space on the startup disk can slow the system down.
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.
    For startup issues...  open System Preferences > Users & Groups - Login Items. Delete any apps listed there then restart your mac.
    And disable the Lion "resume" feature.
    Open System Preferences > General
    Deselect:   Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps
    And Spotlight may be indexing... you can turn that off > Turning Off Spotlight | Mac Tricks And Tips

    If you bought the MBP new 3 weeks ago, it should have come with Mountain Lion already installed. Did you update your MBP to the newly released 10.8.4 update? If not, what OS were you running before the upgrade, and what version of Mountain Lion do you have now?
