Why is Verizon dragging its feet in the release of Windows Phone 8.1 for Nokia Lumia 822 and other phones?

I went to the Windows site and they sent me to the Nokia site. Nokia said it was a Verizon problem. Everyone seems to want to pass the buck. I suppose Verizon is going to blame it on either Nokia or Windows.

"I'm willing to bet there are way more Lumia users out there that really don't care if they get the update or not."
Really?!  Apparently, you're not reading many forums.  The number of forum users wanting WP8.1 on Verizon's site alone outnumbers those of you claiming that "no one really cares."  From these forums alone, I know of about 6 users (you included) who claim not "to care about the update."  Whereas I can count at least 6 times that number who claim otherwise.  And that is just in these forums.
Regardless of the update, my complaint is not about "getting the update" or even so much the amount of time to get the update.  My complaint is the total disregard, carelessness and outright rudeness Verizon has for its paying customers by not informing us on ANYTHING regarding updates.  Even if Verizon were to just come out and say, "We are working on something, but due to legal reasons, we cannot discuss it," at least that would be some sort of acknowedgement of our questions regarding these updates.  But to dismiss us, and ignore our pleas for information is just plan rude and not very good customer service.

    Look, you can build an HD DVD with an SD movie, just as you can build an SD DVD with an HD movie. This is not a bug, it is most likely user error. Apple will not be addressing it.
    Just start over, and ensure you are building an SD DVD by bringing up the inspector for the disc (click on the background in the Graphical tab).
    Make sure SD DVD is selected:
    (If you do the same thing on your ill fated project, you'll see that HD DVD is selected)
    Build your DVD and you'll be fine.

    P.S. You will need to google HD DVD and Blu-Ray if you want to understand the difference between the formats. The reason that DVDSP included HD DVD was that its format was similar to SD DVD's. Blu-Ray is something else entirely.

    If you are within 14 days of purchase you can still return the iPhone and get the phone that suits your needs, however, I think you will find that no matter which phone you get the content provider will want to know how you are going to pay for future purchases. For Android phones it is Google, and they will certainly want to know.

    Have you tried clearing Safari? Clear Safari, close Safari completely and reboot your iPad. Try again.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Cookies and Data.
    If you are running iOS 5 or iOS 6 you close apps like this. Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
    If you are running iOS 7, you close apps this way. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

    Do you get a send error message or a red "!" when you send?  Do you have a data plan on your account?  Check that your carrier has you provisioned for MMS.

    Hi...
    Make certain you are typing in the correct credit card number, selecting the correct expiration date from the pop up menus and are using the correct Security Code from the back of your credit card.
    Make sure your billing address is the same on your credit card account that you entered under Billing Address.
    Now click Done bottom right side of the App Store window.

    I just got my replacement phone from Warranty. The phone was on for just 2 hours and it crashed. I was told that motorola knows about this "possible" issue. I got a new sim, hard reset, If it can be done I did it. They are now sending me the same phone again. Number 3. I would hope this one doesn't crash but I rather have a different phone so I can enjoy using my account. The phone's most recent error was today. " Unfortunately, the process com.motorola.widget.circlewidget3d" has stopped. At least the error message works and it's polite. I told tech this and they could not answer my question or help me other then "let's do a hard reset" My warranty replacement is coming on Monday. Let's hope this one works. Anyone else havinbg the same problem. it says "such and such as stop working" on all sorts of stuff! Help! I want my iPhone Back!

    I just did a google search on this issue. OMG, I got a ton of videos on this or similar issues. Each one says in some way to clear the cache, reset the data, etc. Why in the world would this continue to happen and they not do a fix that resloves this without having to lose or stop what your doing. This is a very long and constant issue it seems with Android phones as there must have been pages and pages of what I now call "Unfortunately"  So I am going to pray that Verizon helps me  out and gets me away from this issue and helps me go back to iPhone or try the Samsung.

  • First Real Pictures of Verizon Nokia Lumia 822

    http://wmpoweruser.com/verizon-nokia-lumia-822-real-life-pictures-leak/
    Well guys looks like its HTC 8x Flame red for me. No way I am getting this mid range water down version phone. This crap looks like one of the free phones Verizon gives you if you sign a 2 year contract

    This looks like a low end entry phone, no thanks... I would not buy this one...
    If this and the 8X is all Verizon is getting this round, I will be testing AT&T's network where I live and work, if it is just as good as VZW, I will go get the 920.
    Verizon needs to step up their game here and not get low end models.

  • TS1717 Having trouble running iTunes version 11.0.2 on a Dell Laptop running Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1.  Keep getting an error message "the software required for communicating with iPods and mobile phones was not installed correctly..." reinst

    Having trouble when I launch iTunes (version 11.0.2) on my Dell Laptop running Windows 7 Professional (service pack 1).  I get an error message indicating software required to communicate with iPod and mobile phones was not installed correctly.  Do you want iTunes to try to repair this for you?  I normally respond with OK and it immediately tells me "could not be repaired.  Please reinstall iTunes..."  I have done this a number of times to no avail.

    I also notice Quicktime is not getting installed at all.
    That one is normal nowadays (ever since the iTunes versions 10.5.x).
    The software required for communicating with iPods and mobile phones was not installed correctly. Do you want iTunes to try to repair this for you?
    Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
    Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you?
    If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • Nokia Lumia 822 Lumia Denim Update from Verizon

    Hello All,
    I have enrolled in Developer Preview on Nokia Lumia 822. My WPhone got windows 8.10.14219.341
    The firmware version is 3051.40000.1352.0042 and it shows Lumia Black in the extras + info.
    When I got the Verizon update, i tried to update several times.
    It successfully downloads and prepares to install.
    When it reboots and try to install the patch, it finishes quickly.
    I get the message:
    It's probably a temporary problem. To Try again, go to settings > Phone Update 0x80188308.
    What should I do to get Lumia Denim update on my phone? Reset the phone ?
    Please advise.

  • Nokia Lumia 822 for Verizon - Application Issues

    First – I apologize in advance for the length of this post – I just wanted to provide as much detail as I could to help others that might run into problems like I did.
    I just got my Nokia Lumia 822 for Verizon and had some issues that I believe were related to the phone being set up for English United Kingdom instead of English USA.
    When the associate was done setting up my phone, I started using it and noticed immediately that the virtual keyboard was set for UK English (it displayed a co.uk button instead of a .com button).  I went into Settings > System > Keyboard and Settings > System > language+region and switched from English UK to English USA, and I thought everything would be fine.
    Although phone functionality, texting, 4G, WiFi, and voice mail from the Verizon Wireless Phone application all worked, and I was able to download applications from the Windows App Store, I had the following issues:
    My Verizon Mobile hangs at “Loading Resources…” screen
    Voicemail application – got “SIM Error – Unable to read SIM Data” error message
    Settings > System > Nokia account – got “Hardware Problem – Couldn’t Complete Operation” error message
    Settings > System > Backup Assistant Plus – would not start and returned directly to Settings > System menu
    Settings > System > extras+info – would not start and returned directly to Settings > System menu
    I took the phone to my local Verizon Wireless store and they told me that it looked like a hardware problem and that I should return it for an exchange where I purchased the phone.  I also called Verizon Tech Support, and the support assistant tried a couple of things before coming to the same conclusion – that the hardware was probably faulty and I should exchange my phone for a new one.
    I decided to ensure that my SIM card was seated properly, so I popped off the back cover, removed the battery, then removed my SD Card and SIM Tray, then reinserted everything and put the back cover back on.  When the phone booted up, I noticed that the App Store had 6 updates for the apps that I was having trouble with.  I went into the App Store and downloaded the updates, and now encountered the following problems:
    My Verizon Mobile now launched, but I got an error message that the app could not connect to the network.
    Voicemail application – still got “SIM Error”
    Settings > System > Nokia account – still got “Hardware Problem”
    Settings > System > Backup Assistant Plus – application launched but I got an error message
    Settings > System > extras+info – now worked, and displayed version information about my phone and OS version
    Finally, I went into Settings > System > about and pressed the reset your phone button.  When it booted, I went through the initial setup screens and selected the default language (English USA).  I noticed that English UK was right above the default selection, and I believe the associate who did the setup in the store selected this instead of clicking on the default.  After selecting that I wanted to restore my data from the cloud, and waiting for about 5 minutes for this to complete, I was glad to see that all of the functionality now worked as expected.
    So to make a long story short, before assuming you have a bad piece of hardware, try using Settings > System > about – reset your phone – just in case it was set up incorrectly at the store.

        Hi ARowald,
    I understand your concerns regarding the SD card issues you have encountered. A review of my resources indicate that this issue has been escalated to our software team and the manufacturer will address these issues in a future software update (No ETA).

    You use Restore to get the latest firmware build, not the Update button. You can only use the Update button, if there is an iOS update, say iOS 5.1.

  • I am being asked to verify my Apple ID.  When I enter the password I get the message it is wrong.  It says the e-mail address is already verified for another Apple ID and then it says it is sending an e-mail to my e-mail account that I then never receive.

    This is most likely caused by an iCloud sign up (which forces you to use an email address as Apple ID).

  • I bought the Adobe Photoshop Classroom in a Book for CS6 by accident and I have CC. I know, stupid mistake. But I can't take return the book. Is is similar enough to CC that I can still get use out of the book? Thank you so much

    Each version of Adobe products builds upon the previous ones.  Some things like filters and advanced features may evolve or become deprecated over time, but the basic tools have remained pretty much the same for decades.  As long as you know there are subtle differences between versions, I think you will still get a great deal of value from C in a B for CS6.
