So......... if you have the OEM bumper, you have to buy the charging clip AND the medium universal adjustable dock ??!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] JoopNL:
Thanks for the heads-up. I'm ordering one today. I already have the car specific part from my previous phone. :)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Tornade69:
I did some search and found older threads with similar problems but found nothing that really fix my issue...

Just bought Samsung Bluetooth earpiece for my T989, it was working perfectly for 2 days. Now i can't turn on bluetooth at all. It search for devices for 10 seconds and come back to off by itself. Sometimes i can get it works after turning it on for 7-8 times.

I thought it was a Rom issue because was using jedi jelly (att Leak) for few days only... So i wipe everything, going back to my old Jedi Mind Tricks but still having problems turning bluetooth on.

So i Odin it back to stock, now Bluetooth come back to life... Re-install Jedi Jelly, Bluetooth still works perfectly.... I used it for 3 days and now it dead again...

Anyone else with similar issue ???
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] batvan:
Yes . Hardware Issue for sure . I've done countless things . Flashed to stock, flashed various roms and radios and the issue remains . I just gave up on bluetooth. Sometime it works and.sometimes it doesnt .
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] alexxfreeman:
Fixed for me

I've struggled with this for months and I've finally fixed it.

It was the root! When I unrooted all went back to normal. I tell you, before that I tried EVERYTHING and nothing worked.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Tornade69:
Sorry to bump this again but missed last post and because i still carry this issue 1 year later, i decided to try to unroot just for fun....Lol!!! Finally, I can confirm the root interfere with bluetooth... That's why when i odin back to stock, bluetooth start to work again! If i Root, after 1 day or 2 using bluetooth functionnality, problem came back!

Anyone else having this issue ?

Any other way to root without having this bluetooth issue ??
[Epic 4G Accessories] Grompy:
I know this is a silly sounding thread, but I've purchased multiple USB cables lately all that seem to quit working after 1-2 weeks to about 6 months. It's very frustrating. So I was hoping someone might point me to a reliable cable. I was thinking of purchasing a left angled cable next because almost every place I use my charger it's located on the right side of where my phone will be. This'll be my first angled cable purchase and I want this to be a lasting solution so posting this for some feedback.

What do you guys use and how long does your cable normally last?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Grompy
[Epic 4G Accessories] jeffreyjicha:
I don't know the brand of one cable, but it's worked for me for a long while (using it now). The other one however is actually a Sony Ericson data/charging cable, and I haven't had much problems with that one either.
[Epic 4G Accessories] TaviRawr:
I use an HTC cable. It works perfect. I wish it was longer but eh.
[Epic 4G Accessories] Isira:
The only USB cables that have failed me are those super thin ones, such as the one that came with the phone. These 28/24AWG cables from monoprice should definitely last.
[Epic 4G Accessories] bg4:
I use a thick blackberry cable but any thick usb cable will do.
[Epic 4G Accessories] DynamicN:
I've had the best luck with thick blackberry cables. Just picked up a Gigaware USB cable from Radioshack a couple months ago and it's been working great as well.
[Epic 4G Accessories] wgorham:
I have always had luck with the one that comes with the phone.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] greyhulk:
I'm posting this here because the Note II is a prime example, but we could also look to the Galaxy Nexus, which is two software versions behind and can't really even be called a Nexus at this point.

I helped my boss set up a Note II and was showing him some features I thought he would like. The first one was the "blocking mode" (do not disturb), which my AT&T model has, as does the International model. It was absent. It first, I thought I just wasn't seeing it or it was moved, but a google search confirmed my fears. I learned later that Verizon removed this because they have a competing service.

Then, I was looking for the S Planner widget (the full screen calendar version) because, as an executive, it was a good fit for him. It was also missing. I'm still baffled by that one.

There is also the branding, including the home button. Verizon seems to treat their phones like Stock Cars these days. The bloat, the missing features (HTC Hub on HTC devices), the numerous modifications, etc.

AT&T is far from perfect. They put a lot of bloat on their phones. But out of all of the Android phones I have bought in the last few years (since they restored "unknown Sources"), I have not noticed them actually removing a lot of features. They did remove screen modes from their version of the GSIII, which was confusing, but otherwise they have just been content with adding bloat that you can disable.

I know Verizon has great coverage, but does it ever really bother you that they remove/modify so much functionality on the phone? Sound off in my poll. I'm curious if I'm the only one who hates Verizon for this. To me, it wouldn't even feel like my phone. It would feel like Verizon's.

TLDR

Removed features (blocking mode, S Planner Widget)

Nascar envy (Logos everywhere)

Severely delayed updates
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shill1986:
It sucks but what you gonna do, you know? It's VZW.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] koreankabachy:
Use to bother me until I learned to unlock and root. Had the gnex prior to the GN II and actually forgot what stock was like until I had to re lock and unroot to sell it. Forgot how limited the phone was.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] greyhulk:
Doesn't it say something when the first thing you have to do with your new phone is root it and install your own software, though?

I just bought an Optimus G from AT&T. It had a lot of bloat, but I disabled it all and I'm happy with it otherwise. At least all of the intended features are there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrynalyne:
Going off of your list, because yeah it was tl;dr:

Splanner widget might just be broken (its in the rom). Blocking mode doesn't work on Verizon (afaik).

Logos do suck. Samsung is slow on updates already.

Also, I compiled 4.2.1 for my Gnex. I still call it a Nexus.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dionysos803:
You know what, I use to be a strong and proud supporter of VZW. I've been with this company for over 10 years now and over the last 5 years i have progressively become more and more displeased with my service. Yes there coverage is the best in the nation. However, in my case i live in NJ, all 4 major cell phone providers cover the entire state of NJ. I hardly ever leave this state unless its going to one of the surrounding cities (NYC PHL DC) and those places are all covered by all major cellphone providers.

With all the limitations VZW puts on the phones, I do believe I will be changing carriers in 2 years (as i just upgraded both my lines tot he note 2). As of now, i want to kick my own butt for upgrading/extending my contract i should of switched when i had the chance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JasonGeiger:
I get what your saying and it pissed me off on those same exact points. I decided to live with it because I would have rooted for other mods anyway eventually, but probably not as fast. I couldn't wait to get the note 2 and decided to upgrade instead of waiting a few months and going to another carrier. Since this phone is worldwide I'm not worried about updates. I just won't be waiting for Verizon. I think I'll be content for longer with this phone and when I want the next big thing I'll wait till my contract is completely up and switch carriers. Sprint just got lte here so maybe it will be mature in a couple years.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnuts:
Do you hate what AT&T does to your phones? My phone came with multi-window and didn't need to wait for an update to enable it. Maybe you should go complain to AT&T for not giving you multi-window at launch.

S-Planner, as mentioned is in the ROM, but not functional, and blocking mode, even when enabled, doesn't work. It's entirely possible that with an OTA, S-Planner will be fixed. Blocking mode may be network related. You know, since AT&T is GSM and Verizon is CDMA, but I doubt you've given that any thought.

Also, delayed updates? Yes, the Nexus has delayed updates, but it is still ahead of most other devices. Also, how long does AT&T take to update phones? You don't have a lot of room to talk there because they aren't so great in that department themselves. How long did the Infuse 4G take to get Gingerbread?

Does it suck, a little bit, but it's nothing to go and create a whining post about, especially if you don't even own the phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] greyhulk:
Okay, you need to chill out. This isn't a "Verizon vs AT&T" thread. I acknowledged that AT&T was far from perfect. It is my opinion, however, that Verizon has been much worse in this area lately. My experience being based on several years of service with both providers.

My role in my company puts me in a unique position to use phones from all of the carriers, so yes, I do have room to talk. I also have years of experience in mobility. I'm not "whining". I was asking for feedback from the community.

I suggest you check your attitude. This thread wasn't a personal attack against you or any other Verizon customer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrynalyne:
At least Verizon has never disabled sideloading. Carriers suck. All of them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnuts:
My post wasn't a personal attack, and really has the same basic tone as your OP. Your OP is essentially "VZW sux, let's all go to AT&T", I'm pointing out that AT&T isn't really all that much better, but you don't see people coming into AT&T forums and saying "AT&T sux, lets go to VZW". You pointed out a bunch of faults with Verizon, but seem to forget issues with AT&T. Their track record for OTA updates isn't that much better than VZW, significantly worse in some instances. How about network coverage? They do a good job of screwing their users on plans and plan features too. Your phone supports video chat over cellular, but your data plan doesn't. How is that different from removing/limiting software? Maybe I'll go create a thread in the AT&T Note 2 forum to voice all my complaints with AT&T service then...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] greyhulk:
No, YOU INTERPRETED my thread as "VZW sux, let's all go to AT&T". You should probably take a moment to recognize that.

I'm not advocating for any carrier. I would prefer unlocked devices, if not for the lack of LTE. When AT&T had side-loading blocked, I hated them for it and yes, the Facetime over Cellular was a dik move, too.

But I also love Smartphones and these days, AT&T does much less damage to the device than Verizon (T-Mobile and Sprint treat them the best) and it's something I'm hoping that AT&T doesn't suddenly decide is okay (again).

Getting my hands on the Verizon Note II really drove it all home for me, thus my post here in the Verizon Note forums asking how other users felt about it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] OldManJames:
In regards to this list

Dont care cause I wouldnt use these things.

the home button logo is annoying

AOSP roms are better than stock anyway.

Coverage and reliability of the network far outweigh the downside of an annoying logo. I wanted to switch to Tmobile cause of their pricing but tried a month and coverage was simply not good enough. Friends in my area that have ATT and Sprint complain about coverage all the time. In the end I agree with Adryn. All the carriers blow donkey. For me the least of the evils is VZW.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrynalyne:
I interpreted your post to be the same as Imnuts mentioned.

So either your worded it poorly, or there is something in the water.

Clearly you are angry at Verizon and felt the need to vent. Yeah, I am not too pleased with them as well, but so be it. You make it sound like everything is a constant measured response to screw people. Blocking Mode wasn't blocked because of a competing service. It just doesn't work. Do you ask Samsung to recode it to be removed, or just hide it? I doubt they cared. They just told Samsung to deal with it. You can bring it back. It doesn't work on Verizon though. Splanner widget is probably an oversight, and time will tell.

HTC Hub isn't on devices because they SHUT DOWN THE SERVICE. https://www.htcsense.com/

Otherwise, who knows, maybe it would be there on future devices. That service too didn't entirely work right on Verizon and was very limited to the devices it supported everywhere else.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] iphoneislame:
Sorry bro but I'm not sure this thread was necessary, and it was obviously not well received. Stick to the forums that have to do with your device.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] OldManJames:
I think his post did seem necessary since you don't seem to get it. You point out good things about Att and trashed VZW. So others did the opposite. Everyone seems to have read your post that way. Perhaps you need to learn how to articulate your thoughts better.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] greyhulk:
Yeah, because the way everyone READ my post (I'm pretty sure you mean "interpreted") is my fault. I can't control when Verizon fanboys decide to be defensive. I posted a neutral poll with feedback from my experiences. I'm not the one trolling here. I suppose it's just easier to troll than to actually read my post and think for yourself.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrynalyne:
Eh...I agree with you. If everyone interprets your post a different way than you intended, it is your fault.

A neutral poll maybe, but a far from neutral post to go with it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] P2o8wer:
I definitely miss the large calander widget.very helpful it was for me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnuts:
Maybe we are "fanbois", but I'm not sure how you can interpret a thread that starts off with "How can you stand VZW doing this" as anything but bashing Verizon. I pointed out issues with AT&T, and all of a sudden my points are attacking you and personal just because I responded to your post. You're interpreting my post about AT&T the same way 75+% of users are interpreting your post, but I guess it's different since you posted it rather than me. You don't like our opinions, then you shouldn't have come here to post anything, let alone something everyone already realizes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kevinb91:
If my note 2 was locked down to internet browsing, phone calls, and text messages I would still keep Verizon over the constant dropped calls AT&T offers me. I knew this would be a Verizon trash thread when I saw the title... :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnuts:
He isn't trashing Verizon, you're just interpreting it wrong ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kevinb91:

Cute. The Verizon fanboy trolls are out in force today.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrynalyne:
You were a troublemaker on the DNA forum too. .

Do you find it fun or something?

An ATT user who feels the need to visit a different forum to trash Verizon.

Sad.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] greyhulk:
Based on whatever evidence? Care to quantify that, or is troll mode still engaged?

My initial post was neutral and I have reiterated over and over that bashing Verizon was not my intent. Yet most of you are like a pack of wolves circling for the kill, so how am I the problem?

You're welcome to disagree with me (I.e. Verizon's treatment of smartphones is fine), but that's not what's happening here. Vote or don't vote. Agree or disagree. But for god's sake, give the "you're bashing Verizon" tirade a rest. You sound like a bunch of lemmings dancing on a broken record stuck in a time warp on Groundhog's day.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrynalyne:
Anyone can check your post history and see you trashing HTC last December on the DNA forum. You didn't even own the device but talked smack.

By the way, a lemming would be the one who traversed to another carrier forum to start an anti Verizon poll. We can take care of the Verizon bashing ourselves, thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] greyhulk:
As with most other phones, my job allowed me access to a DNA, so I didn't need to own one. I had unlimited access to it.

Do you even know what a lemming is? You should probably look that one up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrynalyne:
Awww...widdle troll wants me to Google a definition?

Okay.

A derogatory term used to reference a person who seemingly does not possess any form of individual thought, and instead, mindlessly follows the behaviors and actions of the masses.

Describes you pretty well. The cool kids bash Verizon to pass time. Guess you had to be a follower.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrynalyne:
If you cared a single bit about what people thought about on this forum then you would have clarified your stance by restating the original post.

But no you rather kick the hornet's nest to see what happens. You don't care about the poll as you just wanted to rustle feathers.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] universexda:
Hear, hear!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] greyhulk:
I clarified my stance in several following posts, which I know YOU have read because you've replied to almost every single one.

I'm sorry I can't hold everyone's hand and assure them that I'm not out to get their precious Verizon. I hate their practices with regard to Smartphones. I made that clear up front. I asked how the rest of you felt in a VERIZON forum, because it wouldn't have made much sense in an AT&T forum. Commence trolling.

That's great that you looked up the definition of lemming. Unfortunately, you tried to twist it to define my intentions, which was actually pretty fail. You should probably quit while you're ahead, or develop another past time.

You referenced the fact that I was "bashing" in a DNA forum a while back, which is a device, not a carrier. The DNA is fail, much like the HTC One X (that's an AT&T phone, kids) before it because they crippled multitasking. My stance on that has always been clear as well. You are trying really hard to find specific examples to back up your custom definition of what I'm trying to accomplished here and all you're doing is getting egg on your face while willfully ignoring my amendments to the original posts that state what my original intention was.

This is trolling. You seem to be taking this extremely personally, and that's just sad. Did you buy stock in Verizon? Did you order Verizon Note II's for your entire extended family? Do you have a cousin who works in a factory in china who assembles them? I'm curious what your motivation is and why you're turning this into something it's not.

I have access to every single version of the Note II every day. I'm extremely qualified to talk about the differences between them. I personally own 7 smartphones, including a Verizon Galaxy Nexus and a Droid X (sad, I know, but it's not worth selling) and I have open accounts with both Verizon and AT&T. I work in mobility and I test devices, set them up, and train on them for over 150 users. What are your qualifications?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrynalyne:
I am not upset in the least. You are amusing me. What exactly did you think would happen with thread?

I could go to ATT forum and post something similar to this thread and get the same flack for it.

Of course I am not naive enough to do such a thing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] greyhulk:
Honestly? I thought people would provide feedback through their votes and comments as to "yay or nay". That's it. I didn't come here to start a flame war, "kick a hornet's nest" bash Verizon, or invent a new form of cancer.

I wanted to know if people were as irritated by Verizon's modifications to their phones as I was. That's it. No ulterior motives.

These days, the only way to avoid carrier modifications are to A) buy unlocked (GSM Only), or B) Buy iPhone or Windows Phone.

Basically, android is the carriers' *****. But Verizon seems to take it one step further, in my opinion. And they have been taking more and more liberties in the last few years.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] greyhulk:
Verizon was blocking parts of HTC hub (ringtones, custom skins, wallpapers, themes, etc.) long before the service shut down. Every other carrier was allowing it except Verizon. I assumed it was because Verizon wanted you to buy their ringtones and other services, but I have no inside knowledge to confirm this.

It was a cool feature and it was sad to see it crippled so badly on the Verizon version of the HTC phones.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Its TwiX:
Even before I opened the thread I knew it was not going to be a neutral poll... Try not to include "really" or words like it when trying to be neutral. When you say that it basically reads "How can you be okay with Verizon..."

Not trying to start up a war again, just giving advise.
