[HTC Rezound] Freedom First:
I talked to a Verizon CSR yesterday, about adding another smartphone to my plan (my wife currently has a dumb phone). I was concerned about getting pushed into a shared data plan, but the CSR said I can keep my unlimited data on my line, and just add tiered data to my wife's line. Doesn't matter if I use an upgrade on her line, as long as I don't on mine.

I think Big Red took a lot of flak about trying to kill unlimited data customers, and is backing off (slightly) on trying to terminate unlimited, altogether. They'll make it slightly more restrictive, but they're not aggressively trying to do away with it.
[HTC Rezound] isdnmatt:
I upgraded normally two weeks ago via the online store without losing my unlimited data. Got the subsidized price and everything.
[HTC Rezound] zourn:
Do you mind sharing a few more details?

Upgraded from what phone to which other phone?

Are you on a family plan? What plan?
[HTC Rezound] isdnmatt:
I'm the main number on a loyalty 550 minute family plan. I simply used the online system. I went from my HTC rezound to a Samsung GS3. Just started the order, it suggested no changes to my plan, and I paid the $99. Activated the phone when I received it and it even still listed Unlimited Data under services on the invoice. I'm about to upgrade another line, I'll report back if it still works. I can also provide a copy of the invoice as proof.

EDIT: I DID have to pay a $30 upgrade fee that I've never had to pay before.
[HTC Rezound] zourn:
I think there was some loophole about keeping it if you upgraded to s3. It was coming out right when the "no unlimited with subsidized phones" thing was taking effect, so they (in unnaturally good character) allowed people to upgrade to it without losing unlimited data.

Maybe they never took that stipulation out of their system?
[HTC Rezound] isdnmatt:
I don't believe so, because I was looking at the RAZR M in white as well as the Droid DNA, both were subsidized price and both kept my unlimited data when I put them into the cart.

I should add that I am a state employee and have discounts applied, so my online ordering system looks slightly different than the regular one. Maybe they updated the standard system and just ignored the system that support their contractual agreements?
[HTC Rezound] nes4r2:
I am pretty much wating for the s4 to come to verizon and set up a installment plan,cant wait to get rid of this bad phone, HTC is dead to me.
[HTC Rezound] NXLTrauma25:
I just tried it online with a s4 and a s3 and both times at checkout it wanted me to pay the full price. Been with Verizon for a decade and have perfect credit but there definitely was no month to month option.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Think you might have to call in for that one? Not sure if they have it all setup properly yet.
[HTC Rezound] Watercycle:
I felt the same way by the end of using Rezound, but tried out DNA and am as satisfied as S3 users if not more. Although waiting for S4 will probably be worthwhile, they're both quad core beasts regardless.

I upgraded to my HTC DNA with Wirefly, and used online system to transfer phones. Despite what Verizon employees said I kept my unlimited data.

So perhaps people with 4G devices before that plan came into effect get to keep their data plans? Maybe it's because we don't use much data, mine is usually less than 2GB a month.
[HTC Rezound] nes4r2:
You have to wait for the s4 to launch 5/30/13..I chatted with them via their chat systems and they tolled me as soon as it comes out that day call them and you can set up a payment plan with them.
[HTC Rezound] NXLTrauma25:
Cool thanks for the info. I broke it down and WITHOUT any "hidden" fees or interest rates it would come out to roughly 50 bucks a month to pay for an S4. I am curious as to what the extra fees will total.
[HTC Rezound] NXLTrauma25:
Just checked and it is indeed just the two dollar charge per payment. Now to see if they can bill all of it to my account rather than use any of my other cards.
[HTC Rezound] zourn:
I have two lines on a 1400 min family plan, one of which has is tied to my employers corporate account.

Neither are due for upgrade yet, but doing an upgrade at full price option brings up a different store front for selecting plan options after selecting a device. Maybe that is what is allowing buying a subsidized phone and keeping unlimited data?
[HTC Rezound] NXLTrauma25:
Reporting back that yes you can have all of it billed to account so long as the total payments do not exceed $1000 per month.
[HTC Rezound] NXLTrauma25:
Maybe this is my being stupid but apparently you cannot do this unless you are up for an upgrade. Maybe everyone knew this but I just tried at the store
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
No, actually I thought since you were paying non-subsidies price it didn't matter whether you were due for an upgrade. Lame.... Makes this totally worthless to me.
[HTC Rezound] NXLTrauma25:
I thought the exact same thing. They said I pre-qualified but that you can't actually do the monthly payment plan until you are eligible for an upgrade
[HTC Rezound] zourn:
That doesn't make much sense from a business perspective, you think they would allow you to do the monthly payment plan as long as your monthly bill isn't already over $1000 (as previously stated) and you aren't already paying monthly payments on a phone on that line already.
[HTC Rezound] NXLTrauma25:
Well now customer service is telling me their policy says you do not have that be eligible for an upgrade. They sent me to another store will report back.
[HTC Rezound] NXLTrauma25:
Well all taken care of and upgraded to a Note 2.

The key is finding someone in the store that knows how to add a tablet to your account using a 12 month payment plan option. That is how they explained it to me. Basically they treat a financed phone as a tablet.

You can upgrade at anytime and the finance charge came out to around $24
[HTC Rezound] damedolla2:
I went on Amazon ordered an s2 a as a new line. when it came the Sprint rep told me I own the phone and I can activate it on any line I wanted. I activated it on my main line and never activated the new line hence upgraded my phone without using an upgrade. Now before I get bashed this was about a year or so ago and was on Sprint and not Verizon. I am tempted to try this again with the n2. Note that I told a friend to try it but he waited about a week before he activated the phone and was stuck with an extra line bc he waited so long. I activated mine the day it came. Not sure if that made a difference but just thought I'd share my story. I didn't try to con them the first time but it ended up like that so I may try it again with ill intentions :D
[HTC Rezound] xXezmacXx:
I have 2 phones due for upgrades in a week. Is it true that Costco will sell you a phone for upgrade price and still keep unlimited data? I'm looking for anyway around the full price or monthly payment bs. Has anyone actually found a working way to upgrade at new cust pricing and still keep there unl data? money is right right now any help is appreciated.
[HTC Rezound] im_high_tech:
I don't know where you heard that Costco will sell you a phone and let you keep unlimited data, but as far as I know, you have to buy a phone off of Ebay or Swappa if you want another phone. You can get a nice SLIGHTLY used phone for relatively cheap ($250). Otherwise get ready to pay the full $500+ price
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dekoning:
Dear fellow members,

My Xperia Z has had trouble reading my sd card every now and then (as described in other threads), however on one rainy day it decided that the card was not recognizable anymore and that it was either blank or that the file system was unreadable.

It is a 'Sandisk Micro SD HC Class 10 8gb' card. My question is the following:

Is it somehow possible to read the sd card on my computer through my Xperia Z through USB cable? Can you force to use your pc to read the contents of the card, or can the pc only read what the Xperia Z can read?

I don't have an adapter, and no one that I know has one either (or has had to use it). I am pretty sure my pc will be able to read the contents, where my mobile phone (Xperia Z) fails.

Anyone? Or any tips and/or tricks that do not require an adapter?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robogo1982:
You need a phone or a device that can mount the SD card to Windows as a removable storage device. Then, you need a piece of software like Recuva or R-Studio to scan the card and restore what can be restored.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] HaiKaiDo:
Anyone have a bluetooth controller that they can try with the One for me? I have an awesome little controller that i freakin love and it doesnt seem to be working properly with the HTC one. it says its paired but nothing on the phone uses it. Ive enabled it and everything. If anyone can give me some feedback id be very greatful!

Thanks
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] dboisvert:
If you are running a custom kernel that is likely the cause. I have the same problem with using a controller on my HTC One. The Sprint One is known to have issues with bluetooth. However one developer is working to resolve the issue soon (hopefully).

Apparently HTC will be releasing the source for the new kernel soon.

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] zerowalker:
Okay so i have wiped and factory reseted my phone.

And as stupid as i was, i totally forgot about the SMS storage.

I know want to try to recover it. But i can´t find a way to access it so i can search it with Recuva.

I found this:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2143188

But i can´t find the "mmcblkop" files.

I can find 3 stl files though, stl12/13/14.

But i can´t mount these as VHD.

Help would be really appreciated, i need to try everything to get the messages back.

EDIT:

I was able to mount them now, i needed to change from .raw to .vhs, otherwise it would just say they were incompatible.

But i didn´t really find anything useful, alot of zip files and other stuff, but not the .db files for the sms.

EDIT 2:

Okay it seems like i found something.

I got 3 files from stl13 which were quite big.

But i couldn´t make use of them, so just for test i opened one of them with Notepad++ (they all were the same size, so they are just duplicates for some reason). And with Notepad++ i found traces of SMS texts, though totally spread out, but there was like.

"Name" NULL NULL. Hello there [MENTION=283679]null[/MENTION]

Stuff like that. But atleast the texts are there more or less. To bad i can´t organize them, but it´s relaxing to know some could be saved atleast.

[Huawei Ideos X6] iamvikram:
Hi

I was very disappointed with the battery of my spice CSL Mi 410, it was giving me only 6 hour or less than that backup :(

even with two batteries( 6 hours each, without playing any games, song or any call), i was finding it very difficult to run my phone for full day.

Now what's the solution for this

I did two things

1)Turned off Haptic feedback in sound option of setting,

2)Turned off Wi-fi or Mobile data service when not in use (I know this 2 nd option is difficult for most of the user, who need 24x7 internet)

But these two things increased my battery life for more than double, now it run more than 12 hour on a single recharge.:laugh:

Try it it really work
[Huawei Ideos X6] wesleyel:
Don't get too excited bcos wat u talking about is not a feat or a discovery lol as most peeps here can get more than 16hrs out of this baby. Even some get 24, I for one usually get a whole day with data on from my phone n only charge at night n mind u my device is 2 years old.

So no offence bro, 12hrs ain't notthing for most exp users here. U need to read more on this forum as there are tons of topic that will help u achieve better battery management.

I have the ATT Note and flashed the Telus 4.1.2 JB rom because it has more features, less bloat, and is much smoother. If you are already on Telus 4.1.2 I think flashing ATT UCMD3 would be a downgrade. Check out the Canadian JB thread in the development section.
