Until the day comes where Verizon will shut off unlimited, I will continue to stream my Google Play Music at high quality with no caching and no wi-fi (so that I AM on the 4G network when I use my GBs a month, like a f---in' boss!)

When that day does come that unlimited is gone, I'll just go to either Sprint or T-Mobile, like a f'in boss! :) No reason for me to pay $30 for 2GB, 4GB, or even a whopping generous 6GB when I do 20GB-40GB a month like a (well....you get the point...lol.)

If verizon ever forces me to lose my unlimited data ....i am gone. Myself and im sure many others will leave verizon as the only thing holding on to us is the unlimited. They get new phones way too late. Some phones they dont even get. Att isnt much better on their rates but atleast they get every phone that comes out. There plans are pretty much comparable. Service wise...well for me verizon hasnt been its greatest lately ( might be the antenna is my last s3 and now this s4 [ samsung problem ])
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rushless:
They make far too much money off most unlimited data users. They would rather milk those customers until they attrit naturally.

Too much financial risk. Most people do not "abuse" unlimited plans, so Verizon has far more to lose than gain. Not to mention the families on plans would be lost as well, of which most are not unlimited.

Nobody with any common business sense would force people out unless absolutely abusing the system and the user profoundly compromises the profit margin for that account. I could see Verizon target people like that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] chamberc:
If they're not profitable, they'll get rid of them, and should.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rushless:
How would they not be? Most do not abuse and the current rates are gouging level bad for caps. They would easily lose hundreds of millions if they cut unlimited, since most would leave. Human nature is very spiteful and very punitive to the perceived aggressor.

Counting family attached lines, home lines and entertainment packages they would hurt exponentially worse if not allowing natural attrition to reduce unlimited users.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Metallice:
I think you are overestimating how many people are out there really have been clinging to unlimited data. Its a big echo chamber here and in other android discussions.

I doubt Verizon will forcefully get rid of unlimited unless they have to. It's not really a problem for them, so why upset a small subset of users for any reason? Especially when the costs of these unlimited users are being recouped by the unused device subsidies?

Unfortunately I believe that "have to" moment will come with VoLTE.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] clapper66:
I miss my unlimited data :( I lost it when we switched to a share everything plan. Currently have 6gb of shared with I used most of it. But 6gb is just enough sometimes I need to watch my self at the end of the mouth. :(

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] asdtech153:
I work in the mobile department at Best Buy, and you'd be surprised at how many customers I get looking to upgrade, or find a solution to keeping their unlimited plan. Its at least 1 out of 10 customers (or at least it feels like that to me). Now granted most of those people are using megabytes instead of gigabytes on their "unlimited" plan, however it does seem like people are still trying to hold onto it. I know my plan would go up by $70/month. I certainly will be switching plans when i need my next phone, but thankfully I'm on the S4.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rushless:
There are millions still (local rep estimate). A key reason for all the newer plans and financing for full price phones that VZW does now. They were feeling pressure by the install base. Unlike At&t that screwed up with theirs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] vt0r:
Even though the article is outdated, they are still trying to get rid of the unlimited customers.

This applies to AT&T as well.

I really can't fathom the reasoning behind this, as the majority of unlimited customers never even come close to using the equivalent cost amount (based on regular plan pricing for 2 or 4 GB).

They also pick on those who "abuse" it by telling them they are within the top 5% or other things they use to threaten the customer and give "due cause" for removing the plan.

One has to wonder the legality of this, but does anyone actually know an attorney who not only has time to read the entire TOS/AUP, but also cares enough to review someone's individual contract?

I would say the best way to prevent them from the inevitable is just to leave when they do.

The problem with that method is that not only will it still happen, but I believe the user base may be too large for this to make a significant impact.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MrKleen1:
I also don't think Verizon cares that much about getting rid of us unlimited users.

Many of us pay full price for our phones. This will offset the small amount of extra data we use.

Also I read a ling time ago that 4g LTE data is cheaper for Verizon to provide than 3g.

Also when I went in and paid full retail for two S4's the salesgirl told us that not many do this. She tried to sell me a tiered plan but realized it would cost me $70 more per month for only the 2 gig shared plan. Obviously not a good deal. I have 5 lines and pay $10 per line for unlimited because of a $20 per line discount.

But if they ever did take it away from us I would go to a prepaid plan elsewhere. Unlimited and the good network are the only things keeping me with Verizon. I like to root and rom and Verizon is the most restrictive.

Someday I will have more fun elsewhere.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Halfie53:
It's dumb that they decide to remove a feature like this, especially when people have been deciding to pay full price for their phones.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bulvine420:
I work for a premium retailer and people who dont use much data stay and people who do use tons of data do loop whole and stay but if they loose unlimited they will leave. I always have customers coming in saying they want to cancel there plan and I save it by saving there unlimited. Verizon makes an extra 10 bucks a mo customer gets new phone everyone wins. :cool:

---------- Post added at 04:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:52 AM ----------

Google will make a network soon and Verizon will be forced to compete and lower prices. Also free global wifi is in the works facebook is running the deal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rushless:
This is a long shot too, but far more likely than Verizon killing unlimited with active customers. The total cost of keeping it (and focus on abusers) verses forcing millions out would be pure silly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brownbob06:
Verizon will be killing unlimited data one way or another.

I worked at a premium retailer too until I left for another company with better comp plans. Most Verizon customers have no idea what kind of data they use. I can't tell you how many times I've had customers in my store just whining about losing their unlimited data and going to 2 GB only to realize they use around .1 GB/mo. Yes, I said .1, not 1. There were a few exceptions, but these people weren't as dumb as the others and were willing to pay retail, buy from craigslist or ebay etc.

Believe me, once you work for a cell phone company you understand how whiny and unreasonable people can be. Bottom line is: if you don't like it, go elsewhere. 99% of people won't, but they sure as hell will stand in your store and threaten to do so until they tire of throwing a temper tantrum like a 2 year old.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] schwartz.matthew.e:
Same. I'll be going to ATT. I've worked for vzw for about ten years. I've drank the coolaid and its paid my bills. But, ATT service is better now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] vt0r:
It's certainly not that way near me.

I just left AT&T for Verizon (after almost 15 years BellSouth/Cingular before) because of the terrible reception and poor data speeds.

AT&T in the NYC metro area is horribly overloaded and they don't seem to be at all interested in increasing capacity.

The two services really don't even compare - not just higher speeds with Verizon, but much lower latency as well.

Only downside - higher costs.

I share 4GB with my wife and barely hit 2GB average monthly usage, so the unlimited data is less important to me, but having worked for AT&T in the past, I'm 100% certain the big carriers dislike having to honor unlimited data plans.

The push to convert them exists wherever the accounts are, even though less than 1% use a significant amount of data.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackdubl:
HEY PEOPLE! DO WE NEED THIS SAME MISINTERPRETATION OF THIS ISSUE THREAD AGAIN! Look at the date. Summer 2012. And then they ended unlimited data for grandfathered plans a month later when the family plans came out. And since then, you cannot upgrade a grandfathered unlimited plan; you are forced into the new family plan they are advertising. The last unlimited plan that could be upgraded was to pre-order a Galaxy S3 last summer. Since then, the only way to get a new phone on an unlimited line is buy your own or the other way I won't mention. Now please stop talking about this.

This thread should be renamed "I cried fire in the theater". Pay attention!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JCBiznatch:
I'll never lose unlimited data. Just continue to transfer upgrades
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] HPeterson:
Happened to me, I thought 2gb would be enough but you dont realize what you use until you have a limit.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] madsquabbles:
i'm almost tempted to go the maxx account as i've rarely gone over 5GB/month. but seeing that a few years ago i barely went over 2, i can see me hitting 8 or more pretty often in the near future.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rushless:
Maybe there are stealth Verizon people in here trial ballooning consumer acceptance of low data caps? ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] xM Minton Mx:
Seeing this revived, I also work for a premium retailer and there are new loyalty plans. I won't go into detail, but they are slightly better if you are on a single line unlimited.

If I helped don't forget to hit that thanks button.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tech_head:
Verizon has not real motivation to kick those off unlimited that use less than 6GB/month.

If you buy your phone at full price or don't upgrade, they still collect the money that would be subsidizing a phone.

They get paid by you for the subsidy that you don't use.

It's a financial win for Verizon for those on unlimited data that don't want to move and still pay full price for phones (oh yea, profit on the phone).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Roque13:
I work in the wireless industry and closely with Verizon. I can tell you that about 75% of people that we upgrade don't care about losing the unlimited data because they don't want to pay full price for a phone. And most people that we check data usage for average about 1gb. I stayed even after losing my unlimited data plan. I have 6gb now and rarely come close. Leaving Verizon for a carrier like sprint or T-Mobile is ridiculous. Their coverage is terrible in most places. At least on Verizon I know I'll have coverage pretty much anywhere. And leaving for at&t is a lateral switch because monthly cost is the same and data is still capped. And talking to higher up at Verizon, there are a lot less people with unlimited data left than you think.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 1454:
I have to disagree roque13. Att may be a lateral move, but you still get more data with them than you do with VZW. They get 3gb, where VZW gives 2. Either way, I refuse to pay more for data. It was profitable 5+ years ago when I first signed up for data, do I know for Damn sure it's profitable now. Lte costs less to operate, so they can give me a reasonable cap or I'll leave. I consider 5gb reasonable because that is what was reasonable in 07/08 in my T&C when I first added a data plan. So if they really want to fudge with me, then I'll find a carrier that does want my business. I know this is an old article, but their recent actions over the past 2 years tells me it's a matter of time before they flat out refuse to upgrade us.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Roque13:
[MENTION=1426165]1454[/MENTION] You're right about the 2 compare to 3gb on att, but if you do the difference in price $90 for 450min, unlimited text and 3gb compared to unlimited talk and text with 4gb for $100 on vzw for me I would pay the extra $10 for the extra GB and unlimited talk. That's just me though. And for those saying that they will buy the phone at full retail to keep unlimited data doesn't make sense to me. You aren't getting a lower price on your bill which when you initially signed up you purchased a subsidized phone so the carrier recoups that money for the 2 years they keep you under contract at the monthly price you sign up for. If you buying that phone at full retail you are paying the same amount of money a month that you would pay in a contract and purchasing a subsidized phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 1454:
I'll pay full price if I have to, even at the equivalent of 15 a month because I don't want to worry about stupid Caps. If I don't do that, I'll leave for sprint or tmo. Probably the latter because I will save about 50 a month going to them. Honestly, I think this insanity is just temporary though. I think they will get the people who are boarder line, then not worry about the rest that aren't abusing the spectrum. (more then 5-6 gb a month regularly) but only time will tell.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Roque13:
I agree that its just temporary. And my problem is where I am, the coverage for both sprint and tmo is terrible. At&t is good, but Verizon is the best. So I at the end of the day, it is what it is. We'll see what happens a couple years from now when data usage is expected to double for mobile devices.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bestbet06:
This the only reason I payed full price for this phone
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rlatjs17:

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] matus201:
So we all know we can force 2D GPU acceleration in the developer menu. This makes older apps run much smoother, with best example being the official adobe reader. This app changes from laggy mess to smooth butter when GPU acceleration is enabled.

On the other hand, my nexus 7 commonly freezes ("black screen of death"). I am suspecting this to be caused by this GPU acceleration option. Is there a way to enable GPU acceleration for certain app, so that it turns off when the app is exited?

Thanks!

I'm pretty excited about this. I used a hacked version of Google Wallet on my Verizon GNex and loved using it when I had the chance. I had all of my credit and debit cards saved to it and it was very convenient. I was sad to see it not work on the DNA due to Verizon blocking it, but Google seems to be changing their stance with Wallet.

Hi all,

I flashed cm-10.1.3-RC2-p930, then Wind Kernel 2.5 and then adreno drivers. When I take videos, the sound is just some random noise. In phone calls the mic works fine. I assume the camera app may take the mic of noise cancelling. Is there a possibility to change that? Did others have the same problem? I think the same issue applied to all cm 10.1 roms. Haven't tried others yet.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Pete450:
I know with newer phones you no longer call the *228 on Verizon to update "roaming capability." I hardly ever restart my phone unless I've been having issues with it.

Does the PRL update automatically without the phone restarting, or only during a restart?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
Power down phone,

remove your SIM card for 5 min, power back on.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Pete450:
Thanks. So does that mean it only updates when the phone is restarted, or is that just a way to force it to update? So if I leave my phone on without restarting it for 6 months, I'll still have an old PRL?

After upgrade I couldn't get my xda IIs to synchronise via USB - ActiveSync showed up when the xda was plugged in, and the icon was spinning and so did the one on the phone, but nothing happened for a long time (not even a Partnership Wizard). Now it only works via Bluetooth which is sloooooooooooow. I've tried changing the IP thing to "Automatically retrieve from server" but after trying to connect the xda said failed to retrieve address. I've also tried re-installing ActiveSync (with removing old registry files) but no use at all. Any solutions? :cry:

Blacklist - the applications in that list are blocked

Whitelist - the applications in that list are the only one that are allowed to access

That's a big difference since if you don't know what to block and want be sure use whitelist and every unknown thing that is or will come is blocked (if not in whitelist)
