Used to do CS for VZW... If you do go over, just call and change it up. Anything more than 45 min over will cost you more than the $20 price difference. Like someone else suggested you can always change it back on the first day of your next bill. You might even be able to get them to future-date it aka change it back effective next bill cycle. They'd look more closely at your account for overage than a simply plan change. Those are very routine.
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
i have gone over before when my mom was using her phone for her company and it sucks.... try no to.. we are just now getting it back on after 900+ dollars in charges
[HTC Rezound] g8-rez:
I dont know if it is still a service verizon offers, but I was able to call CS and they said I had 2 different minute credits i could use at any time. I think one was 150 min, and the other was 50. Once you start the credit it is added to your monthly plan, and you lose what you dont use at months end.

CS said after being a customer for so long you get these credits. Sorry Im not very detailed as this was 2 years ago when i used it.

FYI- I have been a VZ customer for 11 years.
[HTC Rezound] Cares:
You can upgrade your minutes and go back to 700 at any time.
[HTC Rezound] Comicazy:
You can also change your plan online. Done this many times when my wife and I first got married. Got her trained now though lol. J/K honey.

The squeaky wheel may get the grease. But the ***** gets slapped. Quitcherbitchin!
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
O.o did you ever call Verizon and see about changing plans or having a compromise with the bill? That seems a little crazy...
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
i didnt know about that at the time... and they ended up waving the charges anyway... the reason the bill got that high was since we couldnt pay the overcharge we got behind on out payments and thats what we had to pay to get it back on a few months later
[HTC Rezound] ihavenolife008:
I would suggest against doing this. The first time i did this, regarding the sister as i mentioned in previous post here, i was under the impression it worked online the same way it does when calling CS... turns out thats incorrect, doing a plan change online future dates it for the next billing cycle. This was maybe 6-7 months ago for me. So take the 5 minutes and call CS instead of taking the quick route and doing so within My Verizon on the phone, or online.
[HTC Rezound] boomerbsg:
Im a VZW fan, i get great reception in my area, and at work, people want to borrow my phone because most other carriers cant even get data in the building.

that being said, some of the highest bills i've personally seen (from idiot friends, and a couple idiot in-laws) has been from VZW. you start going Ala Carte for text, minutes, etc... you are screwed.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
You can call into customer care and ask if them if there's any promotions on your line. Sometimes they can give you some bonus minutes and backdate them so you can avoid overages.

One question;

I have two batteries for my GNex. The original one and a 2300mAh extended one. If I calibrate my battery for the original does that mean I have to recalibrate if I use the extended one? I tend to use a little bit of both depends how much I use it a day, so I can get through the day without charging.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Doesn't matter. There are dozens of pages of debate on the battery calibration front, but official word from Google is that things like wiping battery stats is useless. And most electronics/battery knowledgeable people say that battery calibration is not useful in modern lithium ion batteries.

I saw this on lifehacker earlier. I thought maybe there were a few dropbox users here that could use more space.

1. Download the new client from http://forums.dropbox.com/topic.php?id=52900 and install on PC

2. Put a lot of pictures on your phone

3. Hook phone up to PC

4. Get 500MB extra with the first upload plus 500MB more for every 500MB uploaded up to 4.5GB free

Refuses to work on my desktop, never get the upload dialogue.
[Atrix 4G General] JdgM3NT4L:
I don't think that there is an upload dialog on the desktop client... Just drop stuff into the Dropbox folder and it syncs automagically.
[Atrix 4G General] ltdanno360:
exactly i cant upload from my pc i cant find the "upload option
[Atrix 4G General] Spoontain:
Is it not putting a small blue icon on the lower left side of the file icon? That's the upload in progress icon. A green one is uploaded.

There isn't an option that I have seen to manually up load. It just syncs the folder you set when you installed it.
[Atrix 4G General] lauterm:
I put photos/videos on my phone and then detached and reattached USB. Then, autoplay prompted me to use dropbox to open the drive. It copied them to a folder called camera uploads on my pc's dropbox folder and synced them.
[Atrix 4G General] henilp89:
nice i was about to run out, was considering paying for it but sure ill try this beta. thank you
[Atrix 4G General] barry99705:
Ahh! There's my problem. I refuse to allow autoplay to work on any of the Windows boxen in my house.
[Atrix 4G General] JdgM3NT4L:
Here is the for sure way to get the 500mb. First either download the apk from here. Or get it straight to your phone from this QR code. Both of these links can be found at the Dropbox forum page here.

Once you have the app installed either fresh or over a previous install. Open it. It should take you through the setup as if it was a new install rather than an update. Once the setup was over the app went to a new screen and showed my photos and videos being found and then it began to upload them.

I did have an issue when running it for the first time. I went into my settings while it was uploading. When I went back to Dropbox. The app did a funky crash, force close. Then it got interesting. The app opened and wanted to start all over, then closed, then opened and began a loop of that that would not close or allow me to get to settings or anything that would help. I had no issue when pressing the fingerprint button and then choosing to shut down. After it restarted I went to Dropbox and started it. I had to log in, but other than that it is running just fine. No more weird loops, fc's or strangeness of any sort so far. And I did get my 500mb right away. I did delete the photos that I tried uploading from my pc earlier and it didn't act like I cheated or anything.

Hope that this helps.
[Atrix 4G General] con_ritmo:
all i did was make some throwaway 720p videos with the stock camera app. after u stop the video dropbox will start uploading. extra 4.5 gb with minimal effort...

Current radio is 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23 with CM 7.0.0. Also neither usb debugging or usb storage work.

Can someone help me figure something out of the radio log? Seems like a hardware issue to me, but I just wanna make sure...

What do you guys think about buying a new stronger battery like, i have 1250mAh on my Cha Cha, but i wanna buy one with 1800mAh a stronger copy made for chacha? Would that help...cuz nothing else does.. :(

I'm still getting just about 10hours of battery when i use the phone normaly, not even one day for god sake!

lets say 2hours of internet and thats it!

max is 3-4hours with display on, but not on internet .. . so i guess i got the problem.

Any thoughts about this new battery?

Hi,

Yesterday I did the following:

Backed up my GN using adb

Unlocked my bootloader

Rooted the phone

Restored adb backup

Backed up using titanium backup

Flashed to yakju 4.0.2 from yakjuxw 4.0.1

Restored backup from titanium

After this push to Gmail on my three Google-accounts stopped working.

I've tried the following:

Turned syncing off and on

Rebooted

Delete Gmail cache

Delete Gmail data

Delete Google-accounts and recreated

It is only push that's stopped working. Manuall sync works fine.

Any ideas of what to try?:confused:

Get 3 pieces of foil

Sandwich small pieces of foil there

close the cover

Enjoy a boosted signal!!!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fenixjn:
Wouldn't this be actually bad since the radio on the phone is designed to work on a set amount of power for a specific frequency? Increasing the lenght of the antenna modifies its receiving frequency. Maybe the radio is receiving something else and it measures its power as OK.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cowballz69:
Lol ill post a video. It works very well for me. And no its not placebo I've done with and without the foil.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Silent25r:

This.

I read that thread too. These are very finely tuned radios/antennae/transceivers...all very carefully designed and tested by engineers.

Wasn't the conclusion that the "modem" was destroyed? Likely the amplifier blew itself out from a reduction in impedance drawing more power out...

...you can drop the impedance on any amplifier and get more power out of it--sometimes tons. But that doesn't mean that the amp has to sit around and take it.

I read through every reply, chuckling occasionally. But you Sir.... You, have made my day with this comment :)

But I will bite, hypothetically speaking, that this does increase your signal.... wouldn't you be able to achieve the same effect by soldering something conductive on there......? And of coarse I mean same effect minus the SWEEEEETTTTTTT looking foil
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
hypothetically...or theoretically it doesn't increase your signal. It would increase the wavelength. Perhaps the wavelength you are then tuned to would be a harmonic frequency of an important one and increase your throughput....in theory...wayyy out there in theory. It's theoretically sound it's just highly unlikely to happen...and that's without the very real possibility of overloading your amplifier or just pissing off the modem firmware.

Maybe it would work fine in a strong signal area but when you get into a weak signal area and it increases radio power it goes critical....

I'm not going to suggest someone try it, but, I would be fascinated to know the results...lets not forget there are a few pins back there...one likely for wifi, 2g/3g and wimax....lets short a couple together while we're at it.

Disclaimer: do not do any of that.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KCRic:
Could it possibly be turning the antenna into a unidirectional one? That would increase the signal assuming it's facing the tower.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jc_analyst:
A couple weeks ago, I noticed my Galaxy S II wasn't syncing up with the charger properly - It would disconnect in odd successions for no reason unless I had the phone positioned JUST right. Figuring I'd take it into AT&T when I had a day off work I took to just charging it in my car. (Easier to position the phone at the proper angle for charger to sync)

One cold evening (upper 30's) I left my phone in the car for a few hours - and returned to find my phone screen full of splinters and cracks. - - When turning on the phone, the screen is black and the touch sensitive buttons are completely unresponsive.

However, The power & volume buttons do work. (I can hear incoming emails/texts) so the phone is receiving data - but I can't answer calls, etc.

I am now back & forthing w/ Samsung in order to get a replacement - I feel like this shouldn't be something I even have to fight for. - - What are your thoughts?
