FWIW, I switched to Sprint a couple weeks ago to get the Nexus s 4g, the signal strength was so bad(was told it was a hardware problem?) I went back to verizon untill the evo 3d was released. I'm not sure if they fixed the signal problem on the nexus yet, just thought i'd let ya know.........the nexus was super smooth though
[Fascinate General] xelsewherex:
i dont know... maybe it's because my flextronics discount is still in effect, but for a family plan with 2 phones, i dont see a massive savings. maybe $8 a month at 1500 minutes. not a big wimax fan either
[Fascinate General] plantroller:
I did ask for a supervisor and she continued to tell me that they would credit the 0.03 for the remainder of the contract. I did not agree to this and she said that the regulatory charge is not a reason to terminate the contract. I quoted multiple sections of the terms of agreement but she would not budge. I asked to speak to her supervisor and she said she could only forward my concerns to the next level. I asked her if there was anyway to be directly contacted and she said no. I am currently sending an email to the BBB and cc Verizon in the email.
[Fascinate General] akellar:
There's an update to the story that was posted which basically is Verizon stating that this change doesn't qualify as a material change and therefore would not allow you to void your contact.
[Fascinate General] scarmon25:
Sprint did the exact same thing a few years back when I was with them. They tried the same things verizon is trying but it didn't work. Me and several people I knew all got something out of it. Either new phones or let out of contract. If there terms of service state this is a breach of contract then they can say what they want. In the end its still a breach of contract. If you breached you would be expected to pay the fees. Why should they be any different. Hope you all get what your after.

[Fascinate General] marcelletta9:
Perfect verizon just charges way to much. So whats the best carrier and phone to switch to?
[Fascinate General] marcelletta9:
Well darn so this wont work then? Boo!
[Fascinate General] rand4ll:
Verizon
[Fascinate General] spartan.062:
Sadly, yeah.
[Fascinate General] Falcyn:
Yeah, the best carrier is still Verizon. Sprint is the good "budget" option, though you may or may not save that much depending on your plan.
[Fascinate General] DirgeExtinction:
I hate that neither Verizon nor Sprint have 4G in my area yet. :(
[Fascinate General] spartan.062:
I hate that Verizon is the only one that has reliable coverage in my area. . .
[Fascinate General] scarfman4:
If I could get out of my contract I'd drop VZ in an instant and go back to Nex-tech Wireless. They're a local carrier in Western Kansas who have the largest coverage over the west half of the state. They're also part of the Sprint roaming alliance so when you leave their area you can switch to Sprint towers and still be considered on your home network.

The reason I left them was because they use unbranded CDMA phones and usually are 8 months or more behind technology. They just got the Showcase and Milestone X (unbranded DroidX) which their first Froyo phones. Price wise they give you unlimited data/texting/tethering for $29.

It's funny; at my church our VZ signal drops out so it switches to Nex-tech's tower right next door.
[Fascinate General] Anubis9000:
Has anyone tried this resently?
[Fascinate General] DirgeExtinction:
I want to try to use this to get a new phone.

*ashamed*
[Fascinate General] 420fan:
I tried this and they fought back pretty hard. I was not able to get out of my contract, but did get one month of free service and the .03/mo left on my contract credited as well.

Use the fact that it's 23% increase, not 3 cents. Keep asking to talk with supervisors. You can still take them to arbitration, if you really want, but they have a lot of lawyers working for them :(
[Fascinate General] DirgeExtinction:
23% increase in terms of...what? I'm curious. :)
[Fascinate General] nunyazz:
Have you read the thread? :confused::confused::confused:
[Fascinate General] anoninja118:
the increase in the fee is from 13 cents to 16, a 3 cent raise which is about 23% of the original 13
[Fascinate General] standupdad:
Consider talking directly to the retention group and not someone in customer service, or even a manager until you are talking to a retention rep.

The customer serivce rep will ask you what you're calling for, so tell them... I'm considering on cancelling my contract and that I want to talk to someone in retention. If they balk, just press the point and if they still balk, call back in 2 minutes.

It'll be where I call in the next few weeks if my 3rd Fascinate doesn't work any better than the previous two. I'vce already been told by Verizon that I can choose another make and model phone, so if/when the phone fails, I'll be chosing a 4G replacement. Let's just hope that the Galaxy S2 is out. We'll see.

When dealing with retention in the past, I've received over $500 in credit each from Verizon and Time Warner. Complain with feign damn, and you'll get further. Additionally, head over to the consumerist post and you'll see some good information on how to cancel.

The material adverse change is an event that has in fact happened and doesn't have to create an inability to pay the bill because it's only 3 cents. The provision in the contract is that if the change happens, you can cancel if you want and within 60 days of the change.

Good luck to all.
[Fascinate General] Smeed:
Hey surprise, surprise! Verizon billed me a $260 ETF. I'm not shocked that my bill is screwed up (for the same reason I refuse to pay them an extra 72 cents) but if this isnt a mistake I'll be astounded by how calmly the CSR could feed me BS.

As always, the CSRs are full of crap.

There is no way I'll willingly pay an ETF after they told me otherwise, especially after saying my line would be disconnected (which means I've got to go to another carrier and spend more money to have a phone). :cool:
[Fascinate General] DirgeExtinction:
What the hell? I was told they canceled that policy a year ago. I should call again and ask about it. I'm currently on my third Fascinate as well. If my phone messes up on its own again, I'll be getting the Charge or Bionic.

On a slightly off topic note, I've been reading on some tech/android sites that the main reasons the GSII hasn't been announced in the US is because of the whole GS fiasco and as for CDMA carriers, it's because Motorola and HTC work better on their network. :/
[Fascinate General] fortesquieu:
This rumor is just BS. If you know who black x panda is, he has been using GSII for a while now, it shouldn't be long until it is released.
[Fascinate General] DirgeExtinction:
Nope, no idea who he is. But that's the thing, not even GSM carriers have said anything about bringing it over and supposedly CDMA carriers prefer HTC/Motorola.
[Fascinate General] fortesquieu:
He's a phone tester for Verizon. He has been using SGII for last couple of months.
[Fascinate General] DirgeExtinction:
Has he shown proof of such or is it just his word? A Samsung exec has said US carriers are dragging negotiations to bring the SGSII to the states.
[Fascinate General] fortesquieu:
I have been following him on Twitter since last year. He's legit, starting from the Thunderbolt launch fiasco til now.
[Fascinate General] theGross1:
A few years ago I had a sprint customer come in who hated his sprint service. I told him to call customer care and explain that he did not agree with the fee increase. They explained that he had missed the 60 day period but would still cancel his his contract without requiring the early termination fee. I then sold him 2 att phones. He was so happy that he brought me back a 6 pack of Sierra Nevada.
[Fascinate General] superchunkwii:
I don't understand your want to leave. You're getting worse service, smaller network, slower network (soon), arguably worse phone.... all to save like a few dollars?

[Fascinate General] buur11:
I've never had any luck with these attempts to get out of contracts. I think for now on I am only buying phones off contract to avoid the whole mess.
[Fascinate General] foister82:
i had a very similar issue with Cingular / AT&T and my contract with them. This was years ago but they had started billing a new surcharge that was ultimately not regulated by them (their excuse) claiming it was regulated by the fcc and all the money went to them. I fought it over a month and a half and was finally let out of my contract. However, they billed me several months later for an ETF of $150 ish. I fought it for years and ended up settling with a collection agency this past year for $50. I hope you have better luck than i did
[Fascinate General] jabberjaw:
Just before the fascinate came out I switched all my business phones to a different carrier. The other carrier was giving us a bunch of cash incentives for moving the lines over so that the move was basically a free. (note: one of the blackberry phones was less than a year into a 2 year contract)

after 2 or 3 days of no signal, we had to switch back to Verizon....

Because the other carrier was gsm we had to revert back to cdma, the good news was they reset all our contract timers, so we were able pick up the shiny new Fascinates.

Not sure I wouldn't suggest going through all that just to break out of your contract but there are times when pitting carriers against each other can reap a few rewards.
[Fascinate General] DirgeExtinction:
Well, I was able to exchange my phone(using this as part of the excuse) to a Droid Charge. It'll be coming by in a few days.

I have no problems....

I dont have such problems with my external sdcard.

All I can think of, is to try and format the sdcard on your PC as fat 32 (BTW what size is your sdcard?) and copy the file to the sdcard with the pc explorer, assume you are using windows as you are running kies.

This will test if the problem is the sdcard or something else, if the card formats with windows explorer the it should be OK.

Hope you get it to work.

[General Questions and Answers] dennyk23:
Dear all,

I'm new to Android phones, but i am q sure i set up the Tasker profile correctly...

So what i wish to achieve is:

For certain hours of the day,

Set volume ringer to 1

BUT for callers listed in my phone book,

Turn volume ringer to 6

i have read and tried tasker.wikidot.com/sleepmode and it does work nice, but i don't want my phone to be on Silent Mode because i am afraid there might be a chance that there's a legit call from someone not in my phonebook...

So when i replace the "Silent Mode" ON/OFF to "Ringer Volume" 1/6 (1 as the default sleep mode, 6 as the caller exception obviously) it does not work at all;

When there is a phonebook-listed caller calling in (i set caller number to C:ANY), i can hear for a second or two that the modified profile does increase the ringtone to level 6, but it will drop back down again to level 1 after that 1-2 second of ringing loud...

I do not have any other profile that fiddles with ring volume, just gestures for activating camera and cell tower location to turn wifi off...

I even tried running just a simple test:

1) set phone's ringing volume 1 by pressing the decrease volume side button on the phone body

2) turn off ALL Tasker profiles

3) create and activate the following tasker profile:

Event: Phone Ringing: (phone number left as blank)

Task: Ring Volume: 6

4) call in using another phone

5) it still gives the same result (1-2 seconds of loud ringtone, then back to the soft ring volume, and when i check afterwards, the phone's ringtone volume is 1, not 6)

I'm running Samsung Galaxy S II with stock Gingerbread (rooted of course)... and this is my first android... so i have no experience with trying this profile on other phones, or other versions of Android...

Can anyone help?

Thank you so much,

denny

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rata305:
Ok I want cm7 on my phone. I downloaded the latest nightly which is 39. From my understanding I have to odin back to stock jfd and reroot and install clockwork recovery. Then I wipe and stuff then flash. My question is does the zip have the kernal in it? And when do I flash the google add on zip?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] }{Alienz}{:
You are INCORRECT about the install procedure.

It is really easy to install it now.

1. Make sure you have root.

2. Go onto Market and get ROM Manager Premium, select Vibrant MTD and install the latest nightly straight from the app (or download the latest nightly like you did and follow step 3)

3. Reboot into recovery (Clockwork) and install from there. Make sure to check Factory Wipe, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik before you install it.

4. Install Google Apps (download is in the CM7 topic). Flash through Clockwork like you did CM7.

You do not need to go to ODIN for any of these. As always, MAKE A NANDROID backup in case you want to go back.

As for your question, the CM7 package now DOES contain a kernel. You don't need to do anything additional to make it work. Just flash like you would a normal ROM.

Hello, i'm having a bit of a problem and i'm sure this has been asked before but I haven't found an answer.

I just did a clean wipe and installed the new RC1 for CM7. I've never come across a problem with their past roms.

At work, i'm listening to music with my headset connected. Icon comes on like normal, music playing only through the headset however when I receive any type of notification (SMS, Emails, Facebook, Twitter), the sound plays through both the headset and the external speaker.

I've tried going through the settings but I am at a loss on what to do.

Has anyone come across a problem like this with any idea on how to fix?

Thank you.

There is a setting in the cm settings for that. It's under sound, "always play on speaker". If they're unchecked maybe try checking them and rebooting and then unchecking again.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ywliu:
The devs need to do two things : 1. to find a way to get the root privilege so 2. to turn off write-protection of the internal sd so flashing the CWM recovery image and custom roms is possible.

There used to be one or some kernel vulnerabilities to achieve these. They found some methods to get a root privilege and also forced the Linux kernel to load a kernel module to turn off write protection. Now these wouldn't work any more as the stock update fixed these security issues.

The scenario for iOS is the same too. IPad2 jailbreaking is nowhere to see either. It is a different issue, but the morale behind these is if the vendors don't support JB in iOS or rooting in Android , the future of JB or Rooting may be gloomy.

Though HTC announced its hboot unlocking, I still doubt if write-protection can be turned off. My next Android phone could be Nexus series, 'cos Google Phone was/is/will be always open, if Google doesn't change the policy.
