When is Verizon going to offer the iPhone 4 8GB for free with 2 year contract extention?
Just wondering when this was going to happen. My wife is due for an upgrade and I'd like t wait and get the iPhone 4 for free rather than paying 100 bucks right now and extend the contract for two more years.

Also....whats the deal with there not being an option to chat with someone from Verizon about simple questions like this.....geez.....this is really aggravating.
Well, it's a simple question and I can tell you the answer you would get. "We have no information"
In general, businesses don't tell you "Don't buy now. Wait X weeks and it will be cheaper".

What do you think about the iPhone 4 for my 11 year old daughter
What do you think about the iPhone 4 for my 11 year old daughter
It should be a good choice. I recently got the 5C which typically is $99 with supported carriers. Verizon, AT&T, Sprint provide attractive pricing with a two year contract or it you are adding a line to your current service. I have several friends using the 4S, and they have been very pleased with them.

Log in to my Verizon account. Try to access Backup Assistant contacts. The website is a loop......it behaves as if I'm not logged in. I have checked and DO have the services (provided for free with my plan). Phone is set up properly and just synched it to cloud. Cannot get to the verizon web page to Manage Contacts.
It may be a situation where we all wait for things to clear up. The Verizon Cloud has been having issues for a very long time. Have you tried backing up contacts to your Gmail account, if you have one?

Is Verizon going to offer the 32GB and/or 64GB models of the Galaxy S 4?
I have been waiting for months for information about this phone. It has come out incrementally in very small bites and, slowest and most grudgingly of all, from Verizon. Now, finally, Verizon has offered pre-order of the 16GB model. I don't want the 16GB model. I want, at least, the 32GB. If that had been offered, I'd have pre-ordered today. Now, I don't know what to do.
The "sales associate" I spoke with said she had no information concerning the 32GB model other than it is not offered now. Will it ever be offered? She has no information about that.
This is to be my first smartphone. So, it is my first experience with the whole smartphone buying experience. I am totally disgusted with the entire experience. I'm tired of Googling every day for any scrap of information. I'm tired of the stupid game the provider companies play with their customers. Do they think they gin up interest and therefore increase sales by withholding information and leaving everyone interested to speculate amongst themselves about simple questions like which carriers are going to offer a phone, when each carrier might offer it, and when and if the different available models will be offered?
I am not among the demographic groups that find it important to be the first to own a new device, I have only been anxious because I have finally decided it's past time to join the smartphone revolution and this seems like the best one to get. However, you can only keep someone on the edge of anticipation so long before that anticipation deflates and I guess that's what has happened to me. Today I reached the "screw it" point. I have a perfectly good old LG that has served me well as a basic phone and I have an iPod Touch that does everything else I need, for now, with unlimited free data, so what's my hurry anyway?
Plus, in the course of searching for information on these forums, today, I discovered that there appears to be a long-term problem with Verizon and Samsung phones in the basic reception department. While I love the idea of a pocket computer, I still primarily care about having a functional phone.
I realize that nowadays, with these super giant companies, individual customers are invisible and 100% powerless. Verizon doesn't care what even large blocks of customers think. Oh, the arrogance...
Thanks for nothing Verizon. Keep your **** secrets. I'm moving on to other interests.
(Apologies to forum members--I know Verizon doesn't read here or care, but I can't get through to them and I had to vent somewhere. Also, if someone could answer my question, I'd be really grateful. Unfortunately I doubt that anyone can.)As I understand it, the 64GB S4 is exclusive to AT&T - at least, for now. Sprint and T-Mobile don't have that either.
Sprint's pre-ordering for the S4 is closed until tomorrow. ("Sorry, we're out of stock. PRE-ORDER CLOSED - CHECK BACK ON 4/27") I don't know if that means they haven't started yet or ran out of the first pre-order stock. Sprint is only offering the 16GB model on the web site. On their web store, AT&T is only offering the 16GB model. They've already announced the 32 and 64GB models, but they aren't available via pre-order. T-Mobile isn't giving out any details about their S4 yet. They are just taking names.
This may just be a manufacturing choice. It may be that Samsung's S3 sales were overwhelmingly skewed to the low-end model, so they are making mostly the same on the first runs of the S4. As the production of the 32GB model ramps up, we may see it offered as well. I also wouldn't be surprised if the higher capacity models are only available in stores in a ploy to get customers in front of a representative so they can be upsold/crosssold accessories, insurance, etc. It makes sense in that if you are willing to pay $50 more to get a part that costs $2 more to manufacture, you probably have money for other things.
As far as the expansion slot, I'm somewhat afraid of it. I originally heard this on a podcast and have been able to partially confirm it. The NAND (aka flash) memory used in devices like this is binned according to how many write cycles it can perform before failing. (Reading doesn't wear it out.) The highest quality is being used in solid state disk drives (SSD drives) since a lot of writing is expected. Within those, NAND is binned for enterprise, pro and consumer models. The next quality bin is used for devices like phones, cameras (internal memory), and tablets, where a lot of write cycles are expected, but not quite the level of those used for SSDs. For both of the previous uses, the memory is not user replaceable if it fails so reliability is important. After that is a bin used for USB drives. It fails often by comparison, but is simple to replace - buy a new one. At the very bottom, is the bin used for SD, mini-SD, micro-SD card, Compact Flash and the like. Basically, those can be expected to fail. They are also easy to replace - with new ones. The recommendation was to either use them as semi-permanent storage by writing to them very sparingly (e.g, once) or never put anything on them you don't have a copy of somewhere else. -
When is apple going to release the password authenitcation for icloud
I downloaded purchasd Mountain LIon on Monday August 27.
I went to Apple Store Tuesday August 28 because things were not lining up, i.e, calendar not synching with iPhone calendar.
The associate says apple is having problems with the Icloud authentication ???
Well when is it going to be fixed. My calendar still does not synch with my iphone nore do my contacts synch .
What is the problem? Please help."Deleting" the icloud account on your mac does not delete the data in icloud. It just disconnects the mac from icloud. Then as David suggests, just add the account back and everything will come back.
But you haven't said anything about what you've done to get your mac and devices to sync. I assume you turned on icloud, you turned on calendar and contacts, and anythings else you want synced.
Try this as a test, on iphone, enter an event in a calendar that is listed under the "iCloud" section (not "On my iphone). Then log into icloud.com using a browser on your mac. Check out the calendar there - is the newly added event showing up? If not, then you do not have your iphone properly configured. Did you set up an icloud account? -
i was sent a new sim card from orange to change to a new contract . when i changed the sim card i noticed the iphone was looking for a signal but could not find one . when i went into settings i noticed that the line which contains carrier and the blue icon with the telephone symbol had disappeared . any idea how i can get it back ?

Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here are the best troubleshooting articles that I would recommend going through when experiencing this issue.

recently purchased the iphone5 (2 of them) and are having problems with the earpods. no sound when plugged in to the iphone. both phones. works with the ipad. help please
Hi P5052,
Welcome to the Support Communities ... and congratulations on the purchase of your iPhone 5's!
It is very unusual that neither phone is working with the new earpods.
Have you tried a different headphone just to see if the issue is with the earpods or the iPhones?
The article below will give you the basic troubleshooting steps for this issue.
Click on the link below to see more details and screenshots.
I've quoted some helpful highlights for you:
iPhone: Can't hear through the receiver or speakers
Symptoms
When someone calls, I can't hear them through the receiver or speaker phone, and I can't hear music through the speaker. I also can't be heard by someone who is calling me.
Note: iPhone has one speaker, which is adjacent to the dock connector. On iPhone 4 or later models, the speaker is to the right of the dock connector. On earlier iPhone models, the speaker is to the left of the dock connector.
Resolution
Verify that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack, including headsets, headphones, or adapters.
Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is not switched to silent.
While on the Home screen, adjust the volume buttons. If you see the icon below, indicating that headphones are attached, there may be debris or an object lodged in the headset jack:
Check the headset jack. If there is an object lodged in the headset jack that is not easily removed, have the iPhone serviced to remove object.
For Original iPhone: If there is light debris, such as lint, in the headset jack, try connecting a pair of headphones to the headset jack and then remove the headphones. Repeat this several times to remove the debris.
If you have installed a protective film on the display, either ensure that the receiver is not covered or remove the film completely.
Check the receiver mesh (which is on the top front of the device, above the display). If it appears blocked, use a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush to carefully and gently brush away any debris.
If you have paired with a Bluetooth headset that is nearby, either use the headset or turn Bluetooth off (chooseSettings > General > Bluetooth).
Restart the iPhone.
If restarting the iPhone doesn't resolve the issue, try restoring the device.
If the issue persists, go to the Service Answer Center - iPhone for information on service.
Hope this helps!

When is Verizon going to fix the note 3 issue
My phone is useless. I am very upset. This is my 2nd phone, i have changed the sim card, factory reset, they tested my battery. There is something wrong with the phone
Please fix this ASAP or send me a new phone. I am a long time customer and very upset I may lose my job for missing the calls i missed this weekFrustrated_liz,
Hearing about all of the issues going on is upsetting to me, and so I can only imagine how you're feeling. I'm sorry you have to go through this experience. How hot is the phone getting? Hearing about it overheating is a huge safety concern and I'm worried. Have these service issues been going on since you got the phone?

When is Apple going to fix the season pass for tv shows (The Walking Dead Season 2 for me)?
Apple do you ever plan on fixing the season pass system?
I can not download The Walking Dead episode three. This isn't the first show this has happened to me.
It's frustrating since one would think you would work extra hard to make sure your season pass holders are happy. Afterall we pay for a whole season up front as compared to your other customers and the savings we get from buying a season pass are minimal. It's not like we are paying half off the season price.
A little consideration in regards to those of us paying up front would be appreciated.Feedback falls on deaf ears, it would seem, given I know that many of us have used that avenue. And no, I haven't noticed the other 90+ missing features, as I am unable to use the program due to it not being compatible with Endnote. And yes, at present I am using Pages 09 whilst waiting for a fix.
I don't at all mean to diminish the importance of anyone elses frustration and complaint about a feature that has gone or no longer works. This one is mine . And for me and a large number of users it makes the program unusable. Endnote is a program used by many universities and other institutions and relied on by many staff and students worldwide. I just think that when an issue means you can no longer use the software, I would have hoped for some sort of indication from Apple that there will be a fix. But perhaps the features you mention also make the program unusable?
Anyway, maybe I'll give a review a go...... -
Does anyone know when Apple is going to fix the bug with transfering voice memos from the IPhone 4 to itunes on a computer. I waisted a lot of time trying to figure out why it was not working. Then I read some comments about other people having the same issues.
cheers!Anyone that did know would be bound by non-dosclosure agreement not to say.
Unless Apple announces, which they very rarely do, there is no way to know what Apple will do in the future or when they will do it.
Sorry. -

iPhone 3G has received its last iOS update. If wallpapers behind the homescreen icons is such an important feature for you, you'll need a newer model iPhone.

When is Verizon going to push OTA Android 5.0 for VS985? Rest of the world has it - why not US?
Seems Verizon is one of the last to push this to their customers. Come on Verizon, we were stuck with 4.4.2 on release day and you have done nothing for us except that stupid video call update you pushed a month back.
Hell, even straighttalk pushed 5.0 to their customers already.
We pay more for less with Verizon - hell I am paying almost 150 a month for ONE LINE. Since we are paying premium we expect premium.
No crap about "we have to ensure it works on our network". You guys have had 6 months since Developer release and 2 since LG Released final code. It doesn't take 2 months to test it on one device.
Stop dragging heals and take care of your customers for once.digikiwam wrote:
To quote Verizon on the same question from PwrPak (just 5 days ago).
"We are dedicated to offering you the very best device experience, PwrPak! At this time, we do not have information regarding a future software release for the LG G3. I apologize for any inconvenience."
1. I am an Automated Software Test Analyst. What is that? I build code to run automated tests for the purpose of testing software prior to release.
2. Ever heard of Agile Testing? We run software releases, built, tested and promoted, in two to three week sprint sessions. It doesn't take 2 months to test software. Heck, it doesn't take 1 month to test software built for a specific device (in this case LG G3).
3. It was released in Poland as initial test and Korea once Poland was ok. Korea is not a small market for LG G3 -I think you over-estimate the number of people in the US who have the LG G3. The reason it was released in Korea is two fold - 1. It's the home of LG and 2. There aren't the same carrier restrictions that we face here in the US.
The problem my friend is not location or volume, it's the carriers themselves. The software may be just fine to release, but if it detracts any of Verizon's services where it might expose ways for users to get the same services for free or reduced- Verizon will crunch the release. Only when Verizon is absolutely sure it's bottom line won't be affected, will it release the OTA. This is the same reason the VS985 shipped with a locked bootloader - it's all about protecting Verizon's ability to charge it's customers for what has become one of the most expensive services in the US.
It's all about the Greenback and nothing about the OS Stability.
Amen! -
