Verizon - please stop blocking Google Wallet

VZ - I want to use Google Wallet tap and pay on my new Samsung Galaxy Note 3. When will Verizon stop blocking this feature? I do not want to use ISIS and as a consumer I should have that choice.

Um well I've got a brand new Moto X ( unrooted, regular edition, straight from VZW ) and I just installed the latest version of the Wallet app ( from a Nexus 5 that I found online ) and boom Google Wallet in all it's glory. This is due to the security system that kitkat uses and makes Wallet available to everyone. So I guess get a device on 4.4 and get Wallet

Is this the start... Verizon is blocking Google Wallet which is very nice, and you probably don't know they are creating their own Verizon Wallet

I have been with this company for over 10 years and frankly I always overlooked one thing wasn't to keen on and that was some of the services Verizon offered on their website which many of the account related services they have as apps so you can view from your phone are good and useful. I have been an Android user since the first Moto Droid to the Incredible and Inc2, then I though I was gonna go iphone, until I was able to use one for a month. Don't get me wrong it wasn't bad it was my brothers 4G on another network when he upgraded to the 4GS. Anyway no real problems other than Android just has more to offer so I went with the Nexus Galaxy and stayed with Verizon, after I was flipping a coin to go to Sprint. Anyway the reason I am leaving Verizon is due to their attempt to create apps to try to compete with googles apps and Verizon charges... you can find most for free from the droid market(which is the Play store now) such as Navigation. The free Google Nav is awesome, I also have google voice(free) so I get text messages emailed to me and vmails emailed and texted to me as well as being able to listen straight from phone by pushing play by the missed call. Verizon continutes to create these apps that also cost money and aren't near as good. I actually feel bad for the people who think the VZ nav is in fact the google nav. Now they are blocking a new service of Google's called Google Wallet. It's free and really cool, but Verizon blocks you from installing it or using it and Verizon is spending over a 100,000,000 dollars to create their own Wallet APP that i'm sure won't be free. So it's not that one app as to why I am leaving, its a number of things that as an experienced user and add the fact that I work in the tech industry, in sales that I Verizon taking advantage of customers, and I don't work that way or like it. Okay you go buy a verizon phone, it will have the VZ Nav right there on the home screen, however there will be no google Nav, and for newbies they usually think this is the navigation everyone talks about. You have to go download the Google Maps which is a turn by turn navigation always up to date and is awesome. I watch my kid driving down the road at all times for free. My point is now that their blocking Google Wallet because they are creating there own wallet, which won't be as good, and probably cost money to even spend money meaning they will charge for it. What is the next brilliant thing that Google comes out with that you can intergrate into your Google services. So what is the point of trying to compete with Google on apps, I mean the Verizon wallet? Why it makes no sense. Why block an app thus not giving you the luxery. They have their reasons of course such as security, and other reasons that it could cause problems but, hey if you dare to spend the outrageous amount of money to activate your hostspot to connect your computer wirelessly in a park. 75% of the people who do this are going to be on an unsecured network that anyone can connect to even with security turned on. So they say there worried about security on the wallet app, because someone may cold get access to your small amount that most people keep on the google wallet but the wireless hotspot is putting much more that money out there. it's putting personal things and files on your computer out there. I just dont' get why they can't provide their songs and ring tones and apps that allow you to see you data usage and leave the apps for the Google market. For you who don't know please download google maps and you will have an awesome navivation. Also google talk, voice, chat, and there apps on the google market for free such as a punch clock for time. I saw one for over $14 on the verison app store. So stick to what you are good at ,and don't block apps that other companies aren't blocking including at&T now, and they were in on the $100,000,000 to create this app along with Tmoblie and Verizon. I use an android because of the capapbilites that google gives you, and the apps that they offer for free or no money. Go look in the Verizon apps and see how much you will pay. Most that cost money come preinstalled on your phone so all you have to do is use it and you start getting charged. This is a 3 year decision making. I don't like that people can easily get charged for services without even knowing just because the app was installed and they used it once. Just stay with what your good at and let the android users rightly use the google apps. After all Google Saved your business if you really want to think about it. If you didn't have the android OS, how many sales would you be getting? Where would your company be. This app was developed by Google which means it ties into everything else such as making online payments with the google card. Blocking APPS developed by the developer of the Operating System that single handedly changed the game, and has Made you as a company far better off than you would have ever been had they not developed android. Not a good Idea. Bite the hand that feeds you.

Verizon PLEASE stop pushing bloatware on us!

Verizon did it again. Today they pushed an update to Bionic. However, along with it came more bloatware. Now it is welded to my phone and I can uninstall it without rooting. I guess we will all just have to root to clean this off our phones. It is getting ridiculous. The new apps they installed:
SlingBox: $9.99/month video service
Mog: Another $9.99/mo music service.
This in addition to all the other bloatware already there:
CityID, Backup assistant (the worst of all), Vcast stuff, video surf, NFL mobile, etc...
If I wanted these I would have downloaded them. Forcing them on me makes me irate! I will NEVER use these EVER now. I will never do business with the companies that make these bloatware apps. Are you getting the message Verizon? Please stop the bloatware. If you want to preinstall apps, fine. Just don't lock them so we cant uninstall. That is all I ask. You don't have to put them in the system/app directory and lock them down. Just leave them in the regular app directory where we can uninstall them if we choose. Forcing them on us drives serous customer dissatisfaction and is entirely ineffective. Those who want to uninstall them will never use them anyway. Now they are hogging resources and space for no reason. Every time I open my apps I have to sort through all this junk. Just look at the rating of apps you forced as bloatware.

I don't see why apps that are not uninstallable would be worth any more to the service provider. There is no valid case for this. Do they really think that we will just cave and start using it just because we can't uninstall? Seriously? I don't think so. Those that will use them will use them regardless if they can be uninstalled or not. Those that won't use them won't ever use them. Again, I have no problem with preinstalled apps as long as I can uninstall them if I don't plan to use them. The approach you took for the bloatware only hides them of course. They still launch background tasks, chew up resources, and receive broadcast intents to perform actions. For instance, if you want to find an address on the map it will try to launch VZnavigator. You have to set all your app preferences to instead go to Google.
As for rooting, there are several one click roots available for most devices. As you point out, it is far from risk free. Honestly I would prefer not rooting but I feel forced into it because of the issues on this thread. One of the big downsides is the fact warranty is void. Support now comes from forums (which is generally better anyway). If you have a problem, you are on your own (with the help of tons of forums).
As for your regular backup, Google provides this already for free. Just sign in to your Google account and use their backup services. Its all there, all free, and actually works very well. Then you can edit them on your Google website too. It has far more flexibility that backup assistant.
It is true that this happens to be one of my many pet peeves. It does annoy others to the extent it does me but likely not the majority. For most users they just ignore it and instead complain about poor battery life, laggy apps, and other issues and they have with no idea that this bloatware helps to cause these issues. They leave unhappy but never realize that bloatware is part of the cause. I can't blame all of this on bloatware of course. It is one of many contributors though and there is no excuse for it. I would argue that Verizon could increase customer satisfaction by allowing us to uninstall the bloatware. This would result in less returned devices which would save them far more than forcing the bloatware ever gained them (since I would argue this is $0). They could still preinstall whatever they want. I am fine with that as long as I can uninstall what I don't want. That should not impact any kickbacks they get from the bloatware since it has no impact on the number of people who use it. It would impact the apps ratings on Android Market though. Just take a look at some of the ratings on these bloatware apps. Tons of 1 star ratings with all kinds of comments about bloatware. If we could just uninstall those ratings would not be there and the developers would likely get more users, not less.

I have been with google for while now but I still can't access to google wallet, Would you please show me how? thanks

I HAVE BEEN WITH GOOGLE FOR WHILE NOW BUT I STILL CAN'T ACCESS TO MY GOOGLE WALLET, BOTH ACCOUNTS, PERSONAL AS WELL AS BUSINESS. WOULD YOU PLEASE SHOW ME HOW? THANKS

Seems like that would be a better question for a Google forum since it it Google's app. Here is a link about it from Google:

If you need further help, I would suggest you post to a Google forum.

Google Wallet

I would like to use my phone for payments via NFC. Verizon only offers ISIS, a total bust. When will Google Wallet be available?

Explain what difference is Google doing from what MS did? By them locking out the secure element they are stopping potential competing bodies from entering the market.
snippets from what you linked.
The commission's decision to fine Microsoft was not challenged by the court, saying the company had blocked fair access to its markets.[24] E.U. competition commissioner, Joaquín Almunia, has said that such fines may not be effective in preventing anti-competitive behavior and that the commission now preferred to seek settlements that restrict businesses' plans instead. As such, 'The New York Times called the Microsoft decision "a decision that could mark the end of an era in antitrust law in which regulators used big fines to bring technology giants to heel."[24]
In January 2009, the European Commission announced it would investigate the bundling of Internet Explorer with Windows operating systems from Microsoft, saying "Microsoft's tying of Internet Explorer to the Windows operating system harms competition between web browsers, undermines product innovation and ultimately reduces consumer choice."[28][29] In response, Microsoft announced that it would not bundle Internet Explorer with Windows 7 E, the version of Windows 7 to be sold in Europe.[30][31][32][33][34][35]
On 16 December 2009, the European Union agreed to allow competing browsers, with Microsoft providing a "ballot box" screen letting users choose one of twelve popular products listed in random order.[36] The twelve browsers were Avant, Chrome, Firefox, Flock, GreenBrowser, Internet Explorer, K-Meleon, Maxthon, Opera, Safari, Sleipnir, and Slim[37] which are accessible viaBrowserChoice.eu.
I willing to bet money the reason why wallet isn't in Europe is because they'll get the same fate as MS did. If they did they'd have to open up the secure element to allow competition to flourish.
some references that fit in what I was saying about Google blocking the secure element.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Microsoft
It was further alleged that this restricted the market for competing web browsers (such as Netscape Navigator or Opera) that were slow to download over a modem or had to be purchased at a store. Underlying these disputes were questions over whether Microsoft altered or manipulated its application programming interfaces (APIs) to favor Internet Explorer over third party web browsers, Microsoft's conduct in forming restrictive licensing agreements with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), and Microsoft's intent in its course of conduct.

Spring is in the air, and right on cue my Verizon DSL stops working. AGAIN

Some background. I have Verizon DSL service, with a phone line dedicated to its use. The phone line is used for nothing else, and has the required filters attached.
Two years ago, when spring arrived, we began have trouble with out internet connection. Our modem would get a red light on the Internet connection. This would happen every day between 10am and noon, and would last from minutes to hours. I spent hours on the phone with Tech support. They reduced speed, which was unnacceptable and did not work. They sent a tech to our home twice that summer to replace lines inside the house, replace line outside the house, make adjustments at the central office and the local "hub". Nothing worked. Fall came, the issues stopped, and everything worked fine thoughtout the winter.
Last year, spring arived, we began to have trouble with out internet connection. Same thing as the previous year. Called tech support. Told them that I had done this song and dance the previous year. I would not start from the beginning with every single call, I would not turn off/on the modem, give model numbers, check direct lines from computer to modem. I had done it all the previous year. I thought surely there was some kind of record for my account that could be accessed. To no avail. I spent countless hours and days on the phone with tech support. I spoke with techs, supervisors, managers, talked, yelled, got nowhere. They sent a new modem. Nothing changed. They sent the same tech to my home as the previous year. He still didn't know what the problem was. Changed the phone jack. Changed a different line outside. Still didn't work.
I came on here and left a lenghthy message voicing my frustration. I was told that someone from the US tech support office would contact me (Executive Appeals). The representative from there was very helpful. He explained what each of the lights on the modem did and what blinking/not blinking/ off/red actually meant. He had them change the modem at the central office. Problem solved, I thought. We had out normal running speed of 3360/863 again. No more internet cutting out daily. But, it was fall. Apparently, this would have happened anyway. Because...
This year, spring arrived, and we are having trouble with our internet connection. We have any and all combinations appearing on the modem. The internet cuts out at all times of the day and night. It stays off for minutes to hours. Internet flashes, turns red, goes out. DSL and DATA blink, stay on, alternate blinking speeds. Sometimes the phone line has static, other times it doesn't. There is no pattern to anything.
I have not called normal tech support. The people in India are clueless, have never come close to solving the issue, and I will not waste my time and cell phone minutes talking to them. I saved the phone number and all information for the US representative I spoke with last year. I have left 2 messages for him over the past week. He will not return my call. Our internet speed had gone from 3360kbps/863kbps, to 2928kbps/860kbps, to 2560kbps/860kbps, to 2112kbps/860kbps over the course of the last week, as shown on the verizon modem page. This is what they do every year, and it in UNACCEPTABLE. Slowing the speed accomplishes nothing, since we still have the same problems. All that changes is we have DSL service that runs a little faster than dial-up.
If anyone out there has a suggestion as to what I can do to fix these issues after 3 years, please let me know. Apparently no one at Verizon knows how to address the problem.

Verizon Reps,
I have not been to my private message thread "Spring is in the air, and right on cue my Verizon DSL stops working. AGAIN" since the beginning of June. The problems I was experiencing have not been fixed, but I was not posting because nothing was happening for a while. My Verizon Appeals rep was trying to figure out what to do.
She has since had 2 techs come to the house. The second one just recently. He changed something in the box a few blocks away. This not only didn't fix it, but has made the issue more prevelent than it was before. I would like to record all of our outages and lost connections, but the thread appears "closed".
At this point, I'm not sure it matters. The rep all but said that she has no idea what to do to fix it, or if it can be fixed. Fresh out of ideas, I guess. But I'd still like to keep track, since we have been without internet more than with for the last few days.
Thanks,
Theresa

Hello Anelda.
It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.

Stop double posting.

Can I stop block and unknown calls

Can I stop block and unknown calls

Yes, but you must go through your service provider to do so.
This would be either AT&T or Verizon.

Can't stop the google

''Duplicate post, continue here - [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/812758]''
If I type an address or keyword incorrectly Firefox defaults to submitting it all to a google search. How do I stop this? I have already removed google from the search engine list.. and I have no google plug-ins.

The replies don't address the question: "I started getting bombarded with requests to upgrade to Firefox 5.0. This goes on all day, all night...it never stops. Is there a place I can ask you guys to please stop?"
I have the same problem: I also don't want to upgrade to 5.0 (4.0 messed me up enough and I finally got that straightened out). How do I stop those annoying requests? It should have a "No" option.
Please email replies to [email protected] Thanks.

How i have you stop blocking a web site are page

i have web page that i was using for a very long time but now you will not open it i would like for you to stop blocking that better jet turn off your security i have my own security

thanks. ssl3.0 encrypted connections can be no longer considered secure since an attack vector against them ("POODLE") has become known. please contact the webmaster in charge of this site and urge them to update their encryption to something contemporary.
https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2014/10/14/the-poodle-attack-and-the-end-of-ssl-3-0/
if you want to re-enable ssl 3.0 in firefox you can do that - however keep the consequences in mind, that you will become vulnerable to the attack mentioned above: enter '''about:config '''into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named '''security.tls.version.min'''. double-click it, change its value to '''0''' and restart the browser.

I would like to know which apple server dictation connects to so that my proxy server will stop blocking it. Which apple server does it connect too?

I would presume so, but it might be worth your while to experiment and play around with different combinations to see if you can block FaceTime while keeping Game Center open. Good luck!

Verizon, please help! LG G2 proximity sensor bug!

Verizon, please help, the update that you required me to do on 09/23/14 has a huge bug in it and I am fearful it has not only screwed up my proximity sensor but who knows may even have compromised the security of the phone. The proximity sensor does not respond in dimly lit rooms at all. You have to trick it by slowly swiping your finger across it just to hang up a phone call. The power off button does not respond unless you hold it down to do a soft reset. The "knock-on" feature does not work in dimly lit rooms either. This is so frustrating as it was working perfectly before the update. Please either send a fix update or allow us to resort back to the old software. This phone is less than a year old and I do pay for the warranty, however have been warned that all replacement phones are just "refurbished" phones that may have worse problems.
So, please VERIZON, step up and fix this issue. I have been into your store to discuss with sales guy and he said he would not file a warranty claim just yet. This is crap.....please advise.

Block google search logging in safari

Does anyone know how to block google from logging my search history while using safari?
I know that its very easy to do so if using firefox, but i prefer safari and would like to continue using it while at the same time not being tracked by google.
I wouldnt usually care, but I advertise with google adwords and this makes me slightly useasy that they know my searches, plus my name, address and phone number.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello, you can make a link in your toolbar with scroogle :
http://www.scroogle.org/cgi-bin/scraper.htm
It's the easiest solution, there's no plugin for Safari like the one for Firefox.

Verizon - please stop blocking Google Wallet
