Multiple reps on multiple calls lying. this is a bigger picture in which your not understanding.

I'm trying to shed light on unscrupulous business practices in order to help fellow consumers.

Csrs jobs are to know exactly what they are talking about, not tell them what they want to hear to get off a call.

A billion dollar corporation should be able to do better than this, I hate to say it. But if had I run into this with other companies who are

Experts at customer service such as apple I wouldn't be posting all of this.

You seem to be content to let bullies continue trying to be bullies.

I'm trying to fight for what's right here and help.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] b00mb00mchuck:
Nahhh... I think it's you that's got it backwards... they're not being bullies... they're just trying to follow the rules they have in writing after somebody screwed up and said the wrong thing to a guy who won't let it go.

Verizon doesn't extend unlimited data to new upgrades... right?

We know this... we've all known this for a long time right?

Now somebody tells me I can keep it... woohoo good for me right? .... then somebody catches the mistake and squashes that deal... bummer... almost got away with it... oh well ... end of story because it never existed anyway.

You, sir , are the bully trying to threaten your way into something that should've never happened ... going over peoples heads... probly getting other employees in trouble or worse... but you have a point to make... I guess... that somebody told you something that wasn't true and now they have to pay even though it never existed and we've known this foreeeveeerrrrrr....

We just look at things different ... that's all ... I haven't got the anger or energy to get hung up on a fluke that wasn't supposed to be there in the first place... if this had happened to me it would have been a funny story ending with " Damn , and I almost got away with it too"
[Galaxy Note 3 General] deathshead:
As the dude says,

If everyone else agrees with the post above I'll just stop posting the outcome of this or the recorded calls, I don't care either way.

This is not an isolated incident, it was consistant and more people need to bring it to light.

Cheers!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] toddnbrown:
Why you gotta be "that guy"? I'm sure it was an honest mistake. The fact that you recorded the ORIGINAL CALL is just weird. I'd hate to be a CSR and have to deal with people like you that think the world owes them something. Sorry to be so harsh, but those people are just trying to make a living.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] aelunyu:
What the hell is going on here? To be clear if Verizon ships on the 10th. There is no situation where you will get the phone through them on the fifth. I don't care what rep told you what.. the stores probably won't get them wtil the 8th at the earliest and you sure as heck don't have premium status to have your phone ship five days earlier than anyone else's. Be realistic. Ship dates are basically launch dates... you will get your phone when your carrier says it's available. That's the bottom line. If you want a note 3 on Oct 1. Get it at T-Mobile. Want it Oct 4 AT&T. Want it Verizon. Oct 10. That's kinda it.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] vtjay:
Someone does not understand customer service, businesses are responsible for what thier employees say, and it is up to verizon to ensure that their reps are properly trained. If they tell a customer something, that customer has every right to expect that statement to be honored, right or wrong, if they have to extend an unlimited plan because their rep is poorly trained than that's the price of their poor choice in employees.

The poster is not being a bully, he is expecting a business to stick to its word, which given my experience with verizon, doesn't happen often enough. As a consumer, your power is your money, and he is choosing to exercise that power
[Galaxy Note 3 General] deathshead:
We have already established the 4th date was bogus dude lol
[Galaxy Note 3 General] deathshead:
I record all CSR calls for any company. This is not weird.

I started doing this after DirecTV tried to screw me out of a $200 gift card promo for new sub's.

In the end they apologized for and acknowledged the poor CSR behavior and thanked me as it was great training material for their staff

To improve their service.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Han Solo 1:
Still? We're freaking still on this?

VERIZON ANNOUNCED THE 10TH!!!

VERIZON DOESN'T DO UNLIMITED DATA UPGRADES!!!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] b00mb00mchuck:
You just made all that up... businesses are only responsible for what they put in writing

I've been in customer service... and I've been a customer for 40 years or so now so I'm speaking from both sides of the desk... this type of customer attitude is the type of stuff we all pay for in the long run... I wonder if prices would be lower if companies didn't have to employ rooms full of people trying to defend what they have written in their terms agreement...

This guy wants something that is no longer offered JUST because he caught somebody running off at the mouth...

This is not the only provider and he could switch and have what he wants with the phone in his hand already...

Your money is your freedom to chose where to spend it... it doesn't give you power untill you are on the receiving end... like verizon

They don't care about you or this... if they do it for you then why not just give it to everybody and bog down the whole network

If they give it to you then how is that fair to the rest of us who followed the contract agreements put forth for a year already.

You give the illusion that it will help others when all it will do is get somebody fired for getting thrown into the phone system before they're training was done ... and the data cap upgrades will still be in place... and there will still be knew hire employees just trying to make a living somehow ... but they won't last long enough to get experienced enough to help anybody because they quit or got fired from dealing with people like this all damn day.

If you wanna make a difference in the world then go plant a tree... but stop getting hung up on petty crap like this that only serves yourself

This could go on forever because there are two very different points of view here and you can see the separation in the posts above going back and forth... so I'll stop now I guess... I just wish folks didn't feel so entitled from a mistake... it's one of the strangest things to me and I wasn't brought up that way. Much better things come to you when you get rid of all these harsh feelings and attitudes towards your fellow humans.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ghostofdavid:
deathshead, are you on slickdeals?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] imbolc:
There are 3 VZW call centers within 45 minutes of my house. How many thousands of csr reps do they employ?

They have been rated best customer service by jd powers, what, the last 3 years in a row?

So training issue? Probably...somebody getting nervous or anxious because someone on the line keeps aggressively asking the same questions hoping for a different answer, trying to cause them to make a mistake?

Let it go. Someone made a mistake, you're trying to beat the system and it didn't work.

Is any of this worth the stress and headaches?

Relax, and get your phone when they stated it would ship.

To quote the ever literate Jay-Z.."eating vanilla wafers in the villa"...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] deathshead:
Negative. I do check it out from time to time when I can remember before I make certain purchases however.

I think I'm done, I smell Verizon here.

Dawn and Phillip, your pants are on fire, lol
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ghostofdavid:
Hahaha, I'll take that as a yes. There is a guy on there talking about how he does is recording stuff because of a 200 dollar direct tv gift card and how he will call verizon with jaegermeister and smokes or something.

Also, I don't work for Verizon. I work for the NSA and we're watching you. Trollolololol
[Galaxy Note 3 General] WLPDroid:
If the 10th still holds come this weekend, I am guessing that Verizon will not want to ship who knows how many phones out on a Thursday when most are shipping 2-day service, which would be a Saturday. I think they would want to get them out on Monday for Wednesday delivery. For an expected shipment this big, it doesn't make sense to do it any other way.

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ring_wraith:
Hey everyone,

I've been using CM 10.1 on my device so far, and it's great but the battery life is really disappointing when I'm on 3G, so I'm considering moving back to stock.

However, I really, really hate what Samsung has done with the notifications pulldown menu. Specifically, I strongly dislike their oversized toggles for wifi/data etc. Is there any way for me to have a CM-Style notifications pulldown menu with nothing on it except space for notifications? I don't mind not having the quick toggles at all like in CM.

Cheers.

So just to confirm, since the FAQ isnt totally clear, this will work on stock ROMs if you use the edify method correct?

However, it links to a GNex page, so I was wondering if it is compatible with all devices.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] matthew0776:
It is compatible with all aosp roms for lockrings and etc... Lol (my bad)

When u edify on stock u with zip themer u must use a gapps zip or something of that nature ... Since there is no Rom zip.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] mar5hal:
When it comes to aosp stock or custom the folders are the same. And yes the edify process is universal. Make sure to use your devices zip and not the gnexs

[MENTION=3947779]mar5hal[/MENTION] dude that's freakin sweet! Awesome job. One question, up until now I've only applied lock rings, do you use the same procedure for all the other mods?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] mar5hal:
Yeah. As long as you're doing a combination of say glow dots+lock rings+ soft keys you should be fine. These mods remake your system ui apk or framework res apk so you want to make sure you get all of them in one shot otherwise if you do a lock ring then a glow dot then a soft key it will be whatever you made first. Sorry if that's confusing. Been a thirsty night :beer:
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] thedroidmonkey:
Lol awesome. Drink one for me. thanks for your help.

---------- Post added at 09:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:51 PM ----------

I tried to using 3 mods at the same time and it didn't work. I added a lock ring first then added glow dots and then added soft keys hit build and flashed the update zip......is there a certain order when using multiple mods? Not sure why it didn't work. No hurry man. Have a good weekend.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] dexviajiboy:
if you extract&replace manually its work.. try check path, for nexus 7, target folder location :

-softkey (systemui.apk/res/) drawable-hdpi & drawable-sw600dp-hdpi folder

-glowdot (framework-res.apk/res/) drawable-hdpi folder

-lockring (framework-res.apk/res/) drawable-hdpi & drawable-sw600dp-hdpi folder..

I tested include halo theme at the same time.. work fine here

Is check path an app? I looked on play store and then googled it and could not find it
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] mar5hal:
I think he meant check the path of the mods :P
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] dexviajiboy:
sorry my bad english... I mean, if you get lockring from other device thread, you edit location to make it work on Nexus 7, that just example path that I refer for my device (e.g if you like to use lockring from maguro thread, to make its work on nexus 7... if dont its not show up) but in this thread the op already fix to make its work with nexus 7..

ps: that method just alt for who got problem use edify or zip themer... but if dont have problem zipthemer, I recommend follow the step by op on first page.. sorry for make you confuse ...

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kanemari:
im experiencing this too with an AU Telstra Note 3.

ive tested it a bit and it seems like its 2 separate things to me, but I could be wrong.

firstly it seems like all EQs either crash or just lose their settings at random moments. this can be things like between track changes or when the 3G signal drops out. if you go back into the EQ panel it will kick in again, almost like it was off and you've launched it again.. very annoying. ive verified this with both the stock EQ and noozxoide. the difference in volume is minimal though, its more quality / bass / whatever EQ you use.

the second part with the volume dropping out completely only happens to me between track changes. if i pause the music for a couple of seconds then play it again, it will play at normal volume. fast forwarding between tracks is the most obvious since every other track will be minimal volume, and the ones in-between normal volume.

ive only tested this with google music. although my phone isnt stock now, the same behaviour was there out of the box. using etymotic earbuds with reasonably high impedance but i doubt thats the issue since pause/replay fixes it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
Doesn't happen to me on N7player or PlayerPro. (nor on videos in Dice, MX or VLC.)

Try not using stock apps if you have the issue. Might just be a stock problem.

I can't test Google music, I disabled that. Stock player itself is too annoying for me to try.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silberpfeil3110:
Got the same here. N9005 with Google Play Music. Sometimes it's also (it seems) input-triggered. Sometimes when I push Menu or Back button, volume goes down and when I open Browser volume goes up. I know this sounds like voodoo and I'm completely crazy but I got this situation some times now.

With original sound files this problem came very often but after installing sound mod, it became seldom but not solved.

Annoying!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kanemari:
I actually moved to the stock sammy app since it was irritating me so much. i have to say though, that if you can be bothered syncing a playlist to your phone that the sound is much better through that... hard to pick fault with.

i set up galaxy adaptive sound first, which is the one that plays high med low tones through left and right channels on your headphones independently and lets you tune it. found a much more balanced tone coming out after that, to which I then applied higher bass EQ settings from within the sammy music player and it sounds pretty good. some distortion on really heavy bass tracks at high volume, but very nice otherwise. MUCH BETTER than variable bass and audio volume on the google music player.

i think samsung neglected to test the standard music APIs and borked them, but their own proprietary ones work fine. the adaptive music filter doesnt work in any player apart from the sammy one I read.

since i cant cross-flash regional roms without voiding knox warranty i havent tried the updated EU roms, but maybe they fix it there?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakeitup:
Experiencing same problem on my AT&T note 3. Google Music tracks will randomly apply a shoddy EQ setting that is either too loud or too soft. Then the next track will be normal. It explodes my ear drums constantly. I have the EQ set off also, but that doesn't seem to matter. Also unplugging and re plugging the headphone jack "fixes" the issue as well. I'm pretty annoyed by this problem.
