Verizon Wireless Hi Robert! Allow me to settle your concerns regarding the upcoming data plan options. Keep in mind; we are not taking away the unlimited data plan. You can maintain your unlimited plan by purchasing new equipment at full retail. If you have multiple lines on your account, our new Share Everything plans might be a great choice for you! Not only do you get unlimited voice & texts, but you also get the option to use the Mobile Hotspot feature at no additional charge! Check out the plan options here: http://bit.ly/LYuoCp Thanks! ^AT

lol but hey dont use it too much or youll get charged up the ass!

You can have 2 lines w sprint for 150/month root ur phones and get free tether with unlimited data..now why do you love ur overpriced Verizon so much?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] smokedkill:
I like it for their coverage. You can get data just about anywhere you go and unfortunately that cannot be said about sprint.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Circlel05:
I don't have to stand on one foot in my kitchen two feet from the stove just to make a phone call with Verizon. I can see sprints tower from my house, yet couldn't make a simple phone call.

You get what you pay for. Cheap plans, cheap phones, and crappy service is my experience with Sprint.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] elreydotcom:
Sprints "unlimited data" is only applicable to when you are not roaming. Otherwise you are limited to 300MB. Plus after 2GB, you will see a noticeable slow down in your speeds, when you can get a connection
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jason1175:
Verizon has the best coverage. I've been with VZW for 15 years and have never had problems with voice, data or messaging. This is the ONLY reason I've remained with them.

And, honestly, I went to the AT&T website and priced out a new plan to match what I currently have. It was slightly more expensive.

So this leads to the question, what is the baseline for calculating "overpriced"? And do we indeed "Get what we pay for"?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] smokedkill:
AT&T is also overpriced and worse than Verizon. I remember having to let a friend with an iPhone with them was getting 2g just last year and it was going in and out so I had to tether so he could use my connection. Only 2 providers are worth having an android on are Verizon or Sprint. I guess now it comes down to sprint's coverage in your area. In some places, its great, and even better than Verizon's.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mike t:
Someone correct me if i'm wrong but isn't the contract we signed when we got unlimited data legally binding. I am on an altel plan that I have been on for 10+yrs. and Verizon has tried to get me to change it several times but I wouldn't. I think that is why you do not have to change to a tiered plan if you don't upgrade at a discounted price. If you want a discount on a new phone then you have to sign a new contract and Verizon can change it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] smokedkill:
I believe you are correct.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] AcE XBOX:
Verizon rep here... the new plans suck for existing unlimited data customers. But you'll be able to keep your unlimited plan you'll just have to buy the phone at full retail price.

The ironic thing is that people always asked about shared data plans ad now that they are here everyone complains lol. This plan actually makes a lot of sense for people that are not in unlimited data plans. At first I wasn't sure if this was a good idea but when I saw the new plans I actually got excited because its cheaper for customers to be n the newer plans. Seems like verizon is going to rely on data overages to make up for the minute overage revenue they are going to miss out on.

Verizon ain't stupid because who ever wants to keep their unlimited data won't be under contract which means they don't have to subzidise phones to those customers anymore.

10 dollars to add a tablet? Very nice! I expect big commission checks in the future. And anyone eligible to upgrade do it fast. I'm upgrading to a galaxy s3 from a nexus if anyone is interested in a nexus lol
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ronaldheld:
Practically, is it worth it to keep your unlimited plan but pay $300 more for a phone?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] smokedkill:
Yes. If you think about it, if you use 6-7gb a month and multiply that by the length of the contract, you will save by spending the upfront investment. You also don't have to watch any data usage and worry about ever going over.

I like the plan I'm on. $245/month and I get 2 lines with unlimited talk, text, and data with insurance (along with those damn fees). I don't have to worry about my girl going over on her minutes and I don't have to worry about data.

Hope she don't get mad that she doesn't get a new phone this winter and I do.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crobs808:
I recommend against going with Sprint as a "solution" to keep unlimited data. It's only a matter of time (soon) that they will follow suit...then you'll just be locked into worse CDMA/4G coverage for 2more yrs.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crobs808:
Do you do what's right just not to get caught, or do you do what's right because it's right?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] smokedkill:
It will be a while before sprint goes that route. They plan on getting many additional customers due to the change with Verizon. Its in their best interest to keep unlimited data for at least another few years. While Verizon can boast about its network in commercials, sprint will be able to boast about unlimited data.

I believe I will go the route of buying people's phones from Craigslist when they want the next newest phone available and I will get it for close to the subsidized price just a few months after release. I'm always seeing people sell the newest phones on there when they go out and get something better. I typically see them going for around $300 2 months after they are released and the owner doesn't like the phone. Sometimes even lower.

Keeping unlimited data is a necessity for me, getting a brand new phone isn't, as long as it was taken care of. When you truly maximize the benefits of owning a smartphone, eating data isn't anything.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jmath679:
My biggest issue with these plans is that you will be paying $20 more per data tier just because of the shared plan. So you get to pay more for less data that is being used by 2 or more people. STUPID. Add some real value and drop every tier by 20.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crobs808:
For anyone wondering, here is some clarification for those of us grandfathered in on unlimited data. You can keep your data plan, even when you renew your contract, and you will still only pay $30 a month, but you just lose the ability to get a discount on phones (i.e. no more $599 phone for $199 at time of renewal). You just have to buy your own phone (Amazon, eBay, etc.) or buy from VZW at full retail cost.

Here's my chat log with the VZW rep from today (July 12, 2012):

I may not switch to Sprint after all, it just depends on what kind of deal I can get on the phone I want when the time comes. I am very happy now that I have actual ICS on my Bionic though. Stable and everything works, so I think I'll be OK for a while now.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Kram28:
What ics rom are you using? The one i tried wasn't stable enough to be my daily driver..
[Motorola Droid Bionic] icebear8:
As long as you dont buy a new phone with the 2yr price then they will not take it away. But if your coming from 3g to 4g then they will force you to get off unlimited.

As long as you pay full price or buy used then you will be good. Last week i just bought a used droid 4 i took my samsung stratosphere sim and just threw it in the droid and everything works (and i checked my plan still unlimited)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] linuxgator:
I converted my 3G plan to 4G and kept my unlimited plan. This was just last week, since they changed the policy.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] audiomixman:
I do not think the 3g 4g switch is an issue. I've gone back and forth between my 4G Bionic and my 3G D3 and not seen any changes to my plan. From what I understand, "data" is "data'. It doesn't matter if it's 3G or 4G plan-wise with Verizon.

Crobs808 - You said "renew your contract". Buying a full price or used doesn't require a contract renewal. Buying a discounted/subsidized device does require contract renewal. I've been out of contract for years (and loving it! :-)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] projektorboy:
If you buy a phone at full price, there is no renewal or contract involved. You're just buying a phone. Subsidized devices and contract renewals are not mutually exclusive. You'll simply stay month-to-month and can leave VZW at any time without an ETF as long as you keep buying phones at full price.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] BleedsOrangeandBlue:
I think I understand the source of the confusion...

I don't know if its still the case, but when the elimination of grandfathered data was announced one (perhaps implied) caveat was that it was if you were using your upgrade on a 3g phone that you wouldn't lose the plan. I don't know if it was officially stated or just sort of pitched that way, but here is an article I found:

"Verizon to drop unlimited data plans for upgrades from 3G to 4G LTE" (headline)

"Verizon Wireless announced Wednesday plans to drop their $30-a-month unlimited data plan for a tiered data model for customers who want to upgrade from the 3G network to 4G LTE."

"So when you think about our 3G base - a lot of our 3G base is unlimited - as they start to migrate into 4G, they will have to come off of unlimited and go into the data share plan."

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-501465_...ed-data-plans-for-upgrades-from-3g-to-4g-lte/

Verizon tech support tried to get me to come off unlimited yesterday. I laughed at them.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crobs808:
That's what I said. You can keep the $30 a month even when you renew as long as you pay full price for the device (or get your own from a 3rd party like eBay)

I am running Liquid 1.5. Just make sure you've upgraded to the 6.7.232 leak first to get the updated radio files. Here's the process basically:

FXZ to .902 (be sure to use RSDLite v5.7, not 5.6)

Upgrade to .905 (via that zip in stock recovery or via OTA)

Upgrade to 6.7.232 (via that zip in stock recovery, can't OTA unless you want to hassle with the cheesecake app)

Root with motofail-ICS

Install Safestrap 2.0

Reboot and toggle to safe system

Install latest Liquid 1.5 zip)

Let me know if you have problems.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] audiomixman:
It's the word "renew" that I'm getting hung up on. Customers will not be able to keep the $30 unlimited plan if they "renew" a contract. Buying a subsidized/discounted phone will "renew" the contract. Continuing to use a phone after a contract expires, paying full price for a new phone, or activating a used phone purchased elsewhere will not "renew" a contract. I'm well out of contract and have been month-to-month for years. Eventually every customer that wants to keep the $30 unlimited data plan will have to go month-to-month. It's not a big deal except for the fact that I fear sometime in the future this plan will eventually go away. However, I personally don't see these "shared" data plans as being very popular. For me it would not only limit my data, but raise my bill by $30-50/month for nothing. I, like most consumers, don't like to pay more for less. I hope Verizon finds shared to be a loser and goes back to a non-shared option.

Crobs: I think what I take "renew" to mean and what you take it to mean is different. To me, "renew" means to "renew a contract". We simply have a "communications" issue :-)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] :
Wow can't believe im just now seeing this. From someone who uses close to 30GB a month between two phones, we'd be better off buying phones outright than upgrading and having to change plans. We have unlimited data, text, and 1400 min sharedRight at $200 which is perfect. I could easily see our plans jumping another $100 or more just from data usage, we use our phones as our home internet service as you can't beat the performance of verizons hotspot. Im talking 37ms ping while gaming!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crobs808:
Sure they will. "Renewal" does not have to be tied to getting a discounted phone. You can renew your contract and still pay full retail price for a phone. In fact, even when I buy my next device and pay full price for it I will STILL also renew my contract for another 2 years at that time.

The reason for doing this is to ensure that I keep the unlimited data for that full 2 yr period, in case Verizon changes their data policy again down the road. If you are month to month then you don't get that certainty -Verizon can make you dump unlimited data at the next billing cycle.

So for example, if I bought a new retail device now, in July 2012, and renewed my contract, I would be guaranteed to keep my unlimited data for $30 until at least July 2014. Even if VZW eliminated unlimited data sometime later this year or in 2013, I am still good for the full 2 years since the contract actually protects me in this case. See my point?

"Renewal" of contract is separate and apart from getting a discounted phone.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] audiomixman:
It's been my experience that month-to-month is the way to go. I've been a VZW subscriber for, well, back when they were "Bell Atlantic NYNEX Mobile". I've never been forced to change anything on a plan unless I was going into a new contract. And I HATE contracts :-)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Mig1234:
Not really true

Went to Verizon store to ask about the plans. If you stay with your phone or buy one you stay garnfathered. If you get a new phone and sign a contract they will give you the new plan.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crobs808:
Right, so you can renew you plan, but buy you own phone elsewhere, keeping both $30 rate and security knowing it won't change. I used to be anti-contract, but this actually protects the user.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] brandogg:
I don't think that's correct. There is absolutely no reason to renew a contract if you are not buying a subsidized phone anyway.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crobs808:
Sure there is. Verizon will NEVER switch your service during your 2yr agreements unless you authorize them to. If you are off-contract then they only have to give you 30 days notice and can kill your unlimited data at any time. Carriers have no allegiance to monthly users, which is what you are even if you've been off-contract for a long time. I see no reason to take that risk since $30/mo is guaranteed not to change if I am on-contract.

I guess I just like the peace of mind. Plus since there's no network better than VZW then who cares about being on-contract? Think about it...if you've been off-contract with Verizon for a long the then what's the point? People always tell me..."Well I can switch at any time", but they NEVER switch even when customer service treats them bad or they have consistently bad signal strength, etc. So, if you're obviously keeping them and now that we understand the data details there's really no reason to switch.

Man, I really sound like I work for VZW but I don't. I'd be the first to switch if they ever forced contract customers off unlimited data. I'd even happily pay the ETF.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Baked-Potato:
If you use a lot of data (like me) then your better off purchasing at retail. I use about 12 GB/month. For that amount of data on the new plans, that's $100/month which is $70 more than I pay now. Upgrades are 18 months apart so 70 * 18 = $1260. I could buy a new device every SIX months with my savings. Now even if I kept it to 10 GB/month which is $80/month which is $50/month more than I pay now. With the same 18 month span, I'd save $900 so after buying a new phone I'd be left with roughly $300 dollars.

Yeah it sucks you still have to dish out the extra few hundred bucks to keep your unlimited data, its worth it in the long run. If you save $55/month you can buy a new device every 12 months. If you save $37/month you can buy a new device every 18 months. If you can hold out for a new device every two years, its only $28/month.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] amal67:
I have had Verizon for over 10 years my parents longer then that I can find there old Verizon phones from the 90s it seems, and personally im just insulted the thousands we shell out to them every year. I upgraded last month to a phone that was free and came with gift cards and all that, and love my bionic my parents and brother however not as lucky so the Verizon reps will be hearing from me. It's a insulting move to their long time customers.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crobs808:
Then leave. Go to Sprint. It's a service just like any other. You are free to choose another provider.

I don't understand when ppl complain about things they can easily remedy.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] BleedsOrangeandBlue:
I think they'd have to waive the etf.

That said, couldn't they do just that? Change the terms of your contract and waive their right to the etf?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lhkjohn:
Cuz Sprint sucks! It's a legitimate gripe for people who only have Verizon working in their area. Personally, I'll never buy a subsidized phone from them again.

Tapatalkin' from my CM9'd Touchpad
[Motorola Droid Bionic] amal67:
Im thinking that they should reward their long time customers I could leave but sprint does suck and the service is better at Verizon my answer is dont buy subsidized now
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crobs808:
I guess I always looked at getting a phone for $200 vs $500 as a bonus, a perk really. I am happy with VZW's service and think $500 for a phone once every couple years is a small price to pay considering it's a product I use heavily everyday. Since it is clear now that you can keep unlimited data forever now then all this hype about shared plans can be ignored since I'll never be forced to do it (according to VZW).

My issue is whenever I charge my S2, my screen response lags behind and it is very much noticeable.

I have already searched this forum and found some answers regarding CPU underclocking when charged. I already did the performance (800mhz min/1200mhz max) on CPU to no avail. My screen still lags behind when charging.

May I know what is the tweak for touch screen response? What kernel does have a touch screen editor?
