I can't find any fault in your reasoning. You will have to decide if paying for a 3rd line is worth it to you. If you got the third S4, you could sell it to offset the cost of the third line. Or you could save an upgrade transfer for the next big release.

Did you upgrade through Verizon? If you really wanted to keep your unlimited you could return your phone within 14 days? They will charge a restocking fee of $35 if I remember correctly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] denpad2010:
Make sense and I was thinking that but in my understanding I will be moved to another plan, that stupid(at least for me) and unnecessary share everything plan so I don't know if that works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kenpachi 91:
Nope, I upgraded through Best Buy Mobile. I can manage without it. Sure I may have to switch wifi on a few times here and there but it's cool. I don't want to go back using the LG Revolution just to have a unlimited data. 2GB will just have to work for me. Besides I was able to get the phone for $28 lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rizzo777:
I'm curious how you guys use 10-100 gigs a month. Do most of you use tethering and don't have broadband internet at home? I'm on my phone all day and only went over 2 gig once so I upgraded to the share plan with 2 gigs but im on WiFi at home 100%. I'm in the same boat pretty upset I lost my unlimited but I don't want to pay full price for a new phone every 2 yrs. I was going to switch to T-Mobile because LTE will be available by me next month but I can't trust their coverage. So to summarize , what do most users do to suck up data?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gt5oh:
I am not giving up my unlimited data and rather pay out of pocket... decision time

Buy a current Galaxy S4 for full price or use the pay per month program they offer

OR

Wait for the developer edition?

Any input... ?? I am coming form a G-Nex on VZW
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jacobk:
successfully managed to keep unlimited data by getting the S4 with my wife's upgrade and telling the store i was giving it to her as a gift. then went and activated it online and it let me keep my unlimited. did the same process when i get her an iphone5 in dec using my upgrade
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] erure:
I went to the corporate VZW store yesterday to use my mom's upgrade to get the S4, so she'd lose her unlimited data but I'd keep mine, which is fine since my mom uses like 200mb a month. But the guy at the store basically scared me into paying full price for the phone, saying that sometimes verizon sees that you use someone else's upgrade and then activate it on another line and that they can't guarantee I'll keep my unlimited data. So in some ****ed up way I'd end up losing both me and my mom's unlimited data. So I just paid full price for the phone because I was already kind of thinking about that since it looked like my mom did want to keep her unlimited data despite her low usage. At this point I'm pretty sure that guy was just full of bs, but yeah. I guess if I really want to I could return the S4, buy it through my mom's upgrade online, get the phone, and then stop by a store for a 4G sim card to activate it on my line. But whatever.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] denpad2010:
Are you in a family plan??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jacobk:
Yes
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rmcomer:
I didn't want to lose my unlimited data either so I decided to try the pay per month option. I had to pay $111 ($56+$55 tax) up front and then 11 future monthly payments of $56. I'll end up paying full price ($649 + tax) and the $24 ($2 per month) finance charge. Since my billing cycle starts tomorrow, they said I won't see the first payment added on until the billing cycle that beings June 26th.

After all was done, I double checked to make sure my line was still out of contract with unlimited data and all was good.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] martinpena650:
Same thing happened to me yesterday. I know the method to keep unlimited is available but seems like corporate employee's are told that they can't guarantee that unlimited data will stick. I talked to the manager of the store and pretty much said that if I decided to go through the upgrade then my unlimited will be lost. I was surprised that they mentioned to check out the Verizon premium retailer down the street, if I wanted the phone. I went to the premium retailer and they helped me upgrade my mom's line and then transfer the phone to my line. Thank god everything worked out and still kept my unlimited.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] theineffablebob:
When I bought my S4 at the Verizon store the rep helped me keep unlimited data without me even asking, lol. Basically, what he did was he added a line to my family plan, put the S4 on that line, then switched my current number to that line. Downside is I have to pay an extra $10 a month for 2 years but I get to keep unlimited data.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jpen:
What happens tho when your contract runs out? Cuz this didn't extend your unlimited plan did it? If not do they automatically renew your unlimited plan or do you have to do a new plan thus ending the unlimited one?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] the sandman89:
I work at best buy and one of the best buy mobile girls did something to my plan that allowed me to upgrade to the S4 for $200 and still keep my unlimited data, my plan is unaffected besides the 2 year contract starts over of course
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Coderedpl:
Did you have an upgrade available on your line or something?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] loonie01:
I did the same thing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jvcjbl:
Pre-ordered the s4 through verizon.com. Called in and did the activation through customer support since I switched to a temporary phone in the mean time and it botched my auto activation. While waiting for my phone to activate, I was telling the guy that I was really worried as I've had the unlimited data feature on my account for 8 years or more and this being a line that I expense for work that I would easily blow the usage out of the water. The guy informed me he was in the loyalty department and could switch me back to unlimited data with no issues if I just asked. I asked him to switch me back and the settings took effect. I also got my s4 for $199 ($50 instant rebate) and an additional $50 mail in rebate which the guy offered to credit my account $50 instantly versus wait for the rebate to arrive. I chose this route instead. Good thing I switched as after using the S4 since getting it a day early (before official launch) I am already at 2.5gb.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] zetachi:
Is there anyone that's done a transfer upgrade from an unlimited to a tiered line and not lost the unlimited data? If I can confirm this method I'd be good to go. Otherwise I'm probably going to go new line and transfer.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nxxx:
I still have my unlimited data after buying unlocked GS4 in the Verizon store. I told the guy to let me keep my unlimited data and he said okay.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] urklegrue:
I did this and it worked fine. Transferred the upgrade to my husband's tiered line, activated it on that line, then switched my unlimited sim to the GS4 and moved his sim back to his GNex. Unlimited remained untouched.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klick37:
I had the grandfathered plan for a while but I have wifi pretty much everywhere I use my phone and I haven't needed to tether in years so I got my S4 for about $200 with the upgrade.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Aardvark Barber:
It's really a shame for all people who had to lose unlimited.

I also upgraded on a family member's tiered plan, activated the phone on their line, then activated it on my line.

Unlimited 4G LTE on the S4 is AMAZING.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SCDroid:
I've bought all my devices for the past few years at my local vzw. Guy there hooked me up and I got to use my upgrade on the S4 (I've had the upgrade since December and my contract had ran out months ago) and keep my unlimited. Said he wasn't supposed to do it but he would for me. So I got the S4 and I'm locked into unlimited plan for 2 years. I checked online 2 days later and my plan my plan is still unlimited and runs out in 2 years.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rednoved:
Or thought they had to..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] the sandman89:
My line didnt have an upgrade but a different line on my plan had one so I used that one
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Travisimo:
I was able to keep my Unlimited Data by upgrading on another line as well. To make sure I didn't mess it up doing it myself, I went to a Verizon corporate store and had them do it. First they upgraded my other line (which has a dumbphone on it). Then they put the dumbphone back on it. Then they activated the GS4 on my line. The other line now goes back to no data (my son uses it for calls and texting only) and my line retains Unlimited Data. Voila. My mother is also on our account and she also has a dumbphone, so I can alternate between using my son's and my mother's upgrades each year. :) Until my son gets older and can pay for his own smartphone plan, that is!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] denpad2010:
I didn't know they offer a financing plan to pay for smart phone
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Coderedpl:
Indeed they do.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Berzerker7:
After complaining to CS multiple times, all of them are *assuring* me that this is impossible; no matter where the upgrade goes, if it comes off an unlimited data plan, the unlimited data has to go away. Is there anyone specific I should speak to to get this for me?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] urklegrue:
On the phone? They probably have a script they have to follow. In the store, the guy was all, "Sure, no problem." I went to the store after I initially activated the tiered line on the GS4 to make sure I didn't mess it up, but he just did exactly what I would have done - took the (tiered line) sim out of the GS4, put the unlimited sim into it, and moved the tiered one back to the other phone (GNex).

Not sure what else to tell you other than the phone CS reps may not be allowed to admit this is possible because they're being recorded. Here's a screenshot of My Verizon showing the unlimited (which, ironically, it looks like I don't really need anyway :angel: ).

The upgrade definitely was for the unlimited line, but I did transfer it to the other line when I ordered the phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Berzerker7:
Yeah, it was on the phone...after the last call however, I asked to speak to a supervisor, she came back 10 minutes later and said there was no one available, but as a courtesy, they actually gave me back unlimited because it was within 2 week. So...I guess all's well that ends well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gregg098:
I always buy a phone through Costco online (membershipwireless.com) using an upgrade from another line then call to have Verizon switch it over to the line I actually want to upgrade (and keep unlimited data). Its nice because there is no extra ETF involved like Wirefly or Amazon.

This go around, I used my wife's upgrade. She has a Galaxy S3 with unlimited data already. I read somewhere that this trick doesnt work if the line you use the upgrade on is already 3g/4g w/ unlimited and that one of them will still have to convert to a 2GB plan. It has to be an upgrade from a dumb phone line. Is this true? I won't get the phone until later this week and can always return if I need to.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gt5oh:
If you are on a Share Everything plan you can use other (line) upgrades on your plan

If you are on an older Nationwide Talk & Text plan then you cannot add a line to it without losing unlimited data
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] HHudson:
Please help me clear this up

I have a Droid X 3g with unlimited data (from 2010) and 3 dumb phones, all on a family plan, the contract has ended and gone to month to month for all 4 phones.

I have upgrades for all 4 phones.

I just want to make sure I understand:

I go to a Verizon store and upgrade one of the dumb phones to the Galaxy S4 for $200 with a 2GB data plan.

Then I tell them I want to reactivate the dumb phone.

Then I want to activate the S4 in place of my Droid X.

Then I have to cancel the data plan for the dumb phone.

I should still have the unlimited data, but will have a 2 year contract for the one dumb phone or will it be for all 4 phones?

And if this somehow fails, I will still be able to return the S4 and revert back to my current situation?

The Verizon website says there is a "$30 Upgrade Fee", I haven't seen this addressed in the thread.

I did the live chat on the Verizon website and the guy told me that I couldn't use any upgrades, I would have to pay full retail price for the S4 and have to get a data plan for the line it will be on. He also said that if I didn't like the S4 I could return it within 14 days and the new data plan would be taken off my account not affecting my unlimited data.

Thanks for any information!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] zetachi:
yes but there is no way to switch from NT&T to Share everything without loosing Unlimited data is there?

Has anyone done this? switched an upgrade on the N,T&T plan?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jvcjbl:
I was on the NT&T for about 3+ years. Our third line (when we had it) was eligible and I switched the upgrade from that to mine and upgraded to the 4s the day it launched. Did this with no issues and retained my UNL data as well.

The Wife and I were on NT&T 700 (we never use more than 200 mins a month). I had Unlimited Data from 8+ years ago and she had 2gb data (her own plan before we got together). I pre-ordered the S4 and went along with the 2GB data warning for myself. Other than that the plan stayed the same. Day before phones arrived I made the change to the Share Everything UNL TLK/TXT 4GB knowing that my phone has become a work phone and the potential for mins used would increase ten fold. The next day the S4's arrived and as I mentioned in a previous post I expressed concern to the loyalty department guy who switched me back to UNL NT&T plan and reinstating my UNL data and keeping my wifes the 2GB as before. No issues for me what so ever going back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Don_Don:
I just got my verizon s4 this past Friday and have always been granfathered into verizons unlimited gb. Not the case anymore. The rep said as sood as you upgrade phone you are no longer grandfathered. When I got home I called other Verizon store and they too confirmed no more grandfathered in. Please correct me if Im wrong so I can get my accout adjusted
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jvcjbl:
Not true, as my post above and the one before that. The loyalty department has the ability to switch you back. The

ONLY

stipulation is that the request to have you switched back has to be done with in 14 days from you being changed from the previous Unlimited Data.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] zetachi:
If you use your own upgrade then yes you would lose Unlimited Data

I would think that the loyalty department would do this on a case by case basis and would depend on who you got on the phone and how convincing you were. key being "has the ability" I'm sure 9/10 would tell you tough luck.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] skywalker311:
Hello, well I drop my infuse last week and crack just the glass. A guy I know that works at a cell phone repair store sold me a $10 glass for my phone. Well I've started reading and they say that the glass and LCD are fuse together. Is there away to just repair the glass. I thought maybe taking my hot knife and carefully cutting just around the edge and then take a long thin boxcutter ( I've got one as long as the phone and it really thin) and heating up the blade and very carefully slide down while my girlfriend runs a hair blower up and down the screen.

I thought I take the blade and my hot gluegun and make some grips on the sides of the razor blade so I don't cut my hand. What do you guys think of this.

If you know of someone that has done it and can give me there names so I can PM them that be great. One thing thought I don't wont to mess the phone up. This is all I have until the SG4 comes out in the states. Which should be in a few days but I've got to wait until after the 3rd to be able to pay for it. Thanks for reading this.

By the way, could they do it at a cellphone store or would they also need to buy the LCD digitizer to fix it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] InsaneDDay69:
Google is your friend in this matter. There are several good sites and YouTube videos related to replacing a screen readily available online. Best of luck in replacing it :)

Sent from my Carbon-ized Infuse
[Samsung Infuse 4G] FauxAffliction:
If you just cracked the glass and see no bleeding from the LCD you can just replace the glass but its a pain in the ass separating it from the LCD without cracking it. My suggestion is to use a really hot blow dryer or a heat gun preferably..separate them, then you'll have to re-adhere the new glass to the LCD. If you have super glue you can use it but use very very little or you'll ruin the screen. I would recommend buying an infuse specific glass replacement adhesive sticker thing on eBay. They're less than 5 bucks :thumbup: if you need any help feel free to pm me.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] skywalker311:
What about using a real thin guitar string. You think that might be better to use since the string will give a little and with the razor it might nic the LCD. What do you guys think.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] some_shyguy:
I had saw somewhere that someone had used playing cards with some success.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] FauxAffliction:
I personally use guitar picks :) but yeah you should be fine.

Can someone tell me if I can update to jelly bean software without me unrooting my phone? :cool:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chromium:
do you have a custom recovery installed? if you do, just flash a jellybean rom. Heres a bunch
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rayg1022:
Right now I have TWRP and superSU... where can I get the latest firmware update of jellybean and how does it install. Still kind of new at this.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chromium:
ok you all you need to do is flash a rom. I would recommend one of the latest cm10.1 nightly which you can get here. You will also need a google apps package for stuff like playstore, etc. which you can get here.

Once youve downloaded the two zips (the rom and google apps), copy them onto your phones internal sd. If you have an external sd, then copy it onto that instead.

Next turn off the phone, and then boot into recovery by holding volume down + volume up + power until you see the samsung text.

Now you should be in TWRP. Go to the wipe menu, and then choose: factory reset, system, cache, and dalvik cache

Then go back to the main menu, and from there choose install. Then browse to where you put the rom zip and install it. After the rom installs successfully install the google apps zip.

Finally reboot and you have jelly bean!

Press thanks if i helped ;)
