Opened my box, looked at the receipt, called tech, explained what happened, and this was his response:

"I haven't dealt with this issue, but I've definitely heard about it. I'll get you taken care of np. Let's activate the note and I'll change the data plan back and make sure no extra charges take place"

Took about 5 minutes, got phone activated and no qualms from the whole ordeal. Back on unlimited np.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] wrichards2009:
Yep same as me the guy said he'd Check his corporate email he did so and took care of it on two lines. Just hang up on anyone that won't do it and call back
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] SeanPlunk:
Talked to a representative last night after calling 611 and while she was very nice, she didn't know what exactly to do.

I went the chat route today and got a rep that helped me activate and maintain unlimited data. I then got transferred to another rep to try and get the VERIZON30 discount, but she wouldn't go for it.

Called the internet order support group @ 1-866-338-7390 and they were on top of it. The representative knew all about the glitch and what to do. She confirmed my unlimited data was all set and credited the $90 towards my next bill in under 10 minutes. I was very impressed :good:

To anyone that hasn't taken care of this, skip all the trouble and call the internet support group. The representative knew exactly what was going on and was very friendly.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] SuBDivisions:
Let me ask this.. I did a corporate upgrade, and i was coming from a Unlimited 3G plan.. Im on the 2G plan now.. If i call and BS my way thru it can i get back on the Unlimited?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] rufflez2010:
No, not unless you pre-ordered during the glitch. I paid full retail at the store and made sure my receipt didn't change. The guy in the store did have trouble activating and ended up screwing up the setup process. I just factory reset the phone while i was in the car and voila, good as new again.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Rootuser3.0:
Same here Rep told me use old sim and unlimited will stay he even stayed on phone with me to make sure his system seen it. Not bad.....

I'm curious as well maybe another glitch to exploit...LOL
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] SuBDivisions:
I figured, but when exactly was "the glitch".. I may have pre-ordered during it, i have to check.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] ACalcutt:
The first report I saw of the glitch was on sept. 28th

http://www.droid-life.com/2013/09/28/verizon-allowing-you-to-upgrade-and-keep-unlimited-data/

and it was reported it was fixed sept 29th (around 6pm est if i recal)

http://www.droid-life.com/2013/09/29/verizon-appears-to-have-fixed-the-unlimited-data-keeping-bug/

I read some mentions of it working the 27th and the 30th also
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] griswald9:
I was in the same boat (unlimited on web order and email receipt, 2GB on contract that came in the mail). I just got off with a customer service rep named Valerie. First of all she was amazing and really knew her stuff. If you call within the next few hours, not sure if you can ask for her. But what she told me, in addition to switching me back to unlimited within 30 seconds of activating my phone, was that Verizon now has a policy where you can upgrade anytime at a subsidized rate and revert back to your prior plan within 14 days of activation and they have to give you back your unlimited data. Can anyone verify/dispute this? Because if that is true, it is huge.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] changt34x:
I believe they have had this policy for quite a while now, its pretty much just the return policy. Also have to consider the $35 restocking fee.

Did any of you get an email this morning stating that a feature change was complete? I got one but I am not exactly sure what has changed.

It says

Your feature change is complete

Your feature(s) and/or promotions change request for wireless number ending in -XXXX is now complete.

Feature Effective Date: 10/10/13

Thank you for choosing Verizon Wireless.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] untouchablez:
Just to follow up, has any body's billing cycle restarted already after they activated their N3 with their old sim? Just trying to see if their unlimited stayed intact in the new month or did it change to 2gb?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] griswald9:
She was saying you keep the phone, activate it on the new plan, then call within and have them revert you to your old contract while you keep the new phone.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] rufflez2010:
I got this email as well. Didn't change anything visually, but I don't trust those bastards at VZW... which is sad. If anything was changed, I may not even try to dispute it and get it rectified, I'd just change carriers at this point. The hassel isn't worth it anymore. Not for me since I live in a Metropolitan area (where they probably have the worst coverage indoors since we use concrete here in Florida).
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] refuse2bstopped:
This is exactly why I just hold onto my phone and then buy a used version of the new one I want and sell the current one to offset some of the cost. It's the next best thing to buying a google nexus, since those don't seem to be programme with the band most used on verizon's network. It helps ensure that a new contract going onto my acct doesn't trigger that automatic "kick-out" of my grandfather status.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] richB7:
I ordered on glitch too. Activated on Thursday and didn't check until today but my line went to edge and not unlimited. Returning the phone as I'm jumping to tmobile but I needed unlimited back to sell. Rep has restored number has been ported and new number will be sold on ebay. Bye Verizon. Two more unlimited lines to go.

I used the new sim card and kept unlimited data. I did call customer service just to make sure though. Otherwise, I would of been really P'd off!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] bosshogg38:
Yes they are talking away everyone's unlimited. ... BUT if you are grandfathered in you can buy your phone off contact or if you have more than one line you can use an upgrade from another line. .. For example: if you have 2 lines you can use the upgrade for line 1 to buy the phone but activate it on line 2 in order to keep your unlimited

Crazy Verizon Customer Support

I thought Id share my experience trying to keep my unlimited data since I ordered the Note3 during the glitch and let everyone here know that according to a Verizon supervisor who identified himself as Zach with ID# 159023 everyone on this site, and others, are liars!

I received my Note3 and saw the paperwork was changing my data to 2GB, after seeing the info here I called and spoke with a customer support agent by the name of Jesus who claimed he didn't know anything about a glitch, I cant keep unlimited, etc. I asked to speak with a supervisor and after having me on hold for quite awhile came back and said that there was no such glitch, there is no way to keep unlimited, etc. After telling him how it is possible based on the info here and on other websites as well as the Verizon statements that Droid-life and Techhive published he went back to his supervisor and then came back and said that he supervisor said that there is no such information, no one is keeping unlimited, etc.

I asked to speak with the individual making these statements, after additional time on hold Zach comes on line and tells me that although there was a glitch Verizon is not honoring it and that's it. When I asked him about the statements to droid-life and all the luck people have been having in keeping unlimited he bluntly said that the websites are making up the releases themselves that Verizon never made such a statement and that anyone/everyone who is writing that they have kept unlimited is a liar.

I told him if that's how he felt than I would be letting people know and he said that's fine and provided his ID#.

Afterwards I did a live chat who confirmed that I could keep unlimited and noted my account and suggested I call customer service again which I did and after going thru the whole story over again and emailing my order statement the customer service rep stated that once my phone is activated she would get the unlimited restored but that it could take up to 5 days. Its been a day now, lets see how this goes.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] mi7chy:
Why make a stink over nothing unless you like wasting your time? Just move your existing SIM over to the Note 3.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] lottanookie:
I was in the middle of working with one of the reps when my call cut out and ended. The rep was in the process of giving me 6 gb of data for $30, which is their equivalent of getting back to where I was before (or at least the best I could negotiate). UGH. Now I'm back on hold and of course all reps are busy/busy/busy. I previously had the unlimited plan for $29.99 and upgraded my phone to the new Note 3, ordering on 9/30.

If I can have 6gb for the same amount then that's fine. I'm not a heavy data user anyway and use wifi when I have the ability. It's not unlimited but it's better than 2gb.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] ChevyNexus:
Here's my input. I called corporate before I even walked into the store to buy the phone. I wanted to make 1000% sure what I was about to do was do able. I took the upgrade from my phone dumb phone line and upgraded to the note 3 on that line. THAT IS KEY. YOU HAVE TO HAVE THEM ACTIVATE IT ON THAT LINE. DO NOT LET THEM EVEN TOUCH YOUR LINE. haha don't even mention your other line haha. Don't let them up grade and cancel it. You have to do that over the pone. let them activate it on that line and leave the store. Then when I got back into the car I called the corporate number again and spoke to a person telling them I was canceling the data plan on the note 3 and reverting it to the phone that was on the account previously. They did then all I did was switch sim card out of my galaxy nexus and into the note 3 and done. Went online and made sure I still had unlimited which I did and that's that.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] kayza:
I too went from a gnex to a note 3 and kept my unlimited. My story is identical to yours in that i used a dumb phone line, activated that line in store with note 3, then 2 days later called and reverted to dumb phone, then put my gnex's unlimited sim into the note. Funny how nearly identical our stories are.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] ThePwnageKidney:
Currently on Verizon, if you have unlimited data and you do an upgrade, you will get 6GB of data for the same price as the unlimited data which is $30/month.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jbeitel:
I preordered, got a new sim with nfc for isis. Activated it and lost nothing. No issues at all
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] wrichards2009:
Some people got switched to 2 gb some didn't have a problem. I got switched I called up told the guy the situation he made it happen
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] retox:
Has anyone tried activating with the old sim and then putting the new one in afterwards? When I received my phone I just swapped the sim from my gnex into my Note 3 and kept my unlimited. I'm just wondering if I put the new one in if my plan information will still be retained since I already activated the phone. I wouldn't mind having the NFC secure element working on my phone.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] wrichards2009:
I swapped Sims and it still put me at 2gb but I called and got it switched back
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] bskarpa:
I upgraded on a dummy like some of yall did then swapped sims. I have a buddy that works at Verizon and he made sure I kept my unlimited. I have to have it!! It's only been 5 days since my new cycle started and I'm already at 4.482GB I roughly use about 12GB each month

Sent from my hacked Galaxy N3!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] VillaCastana321:
For anyone wishing to upgrade and scared to lose your unlimited dont let them fool you and play you. I work for verizon and thet are doing a loyalty program for customer who has the grandfather unlimited and how it works is that you will lose your unlimited yes once you upgrade however they can put you on the loyalty plan where you can get 6gb of data for $30. Instead of getting 2gb for $30. They just dont mention it though sadly
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] metsnfins:
Yes I got the 6gb after years of unlimited

No way I can convince them to give me unlimited?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] spinkick:
So this is just people that got one over on Verizon that had a glitch that went against their policy for upgrades and unlimited data, that people are ending up losing unlimited?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] ZrRock:
I love everyone saying how "****ty" it is that verizon is correcting this error as they are coming in.

Does that make you "****ty" for ordering during a known glitch?

Edit: To the person saying you could go back to your old plan and keep the phone, this is totally false, you would have to return the phone.

P.S. To those interested, Verizon promo rates, HISTORICALLY, have held through upgrades, so if you jump on the 6gb promo to get you off unlimited, chances are you will be able to keep that through an upgrade or two.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tommo123:
normally when you place a lid over a phone the screen goes off and it locks soon after (proximity sensor?) but mine doesn't seem to be doing it.

am i missing something or does it just not do it?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] liqn7:
It doesn't do it by default unless you are in a call.

There are lots of apps on the market which do it though (at some cost to battery life as it keeps the proximity scanner running).

Just search for "screen off proximity android" and you get a heap of them.

Some are free like this one -https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skyarmy.sensornearcover&hl=en

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobsie41:
When the 3.22.1540.1 RUU.exe became available I ran it on my international s-off supercid device. I found the new 4.3 stock rom quite good but a few well documented glitches were present which I hadn't experienced before on earliar versions such as proximity sensor issues, contact picture issues in the sms app and constant data signal dropping.

In experiencing these issues, I decided to return to stock by running the 1.27.401.7 RUU.exe then taking updates for my cid(HTC__001) until the latest 2.24.401.8 was installed so that I am now running completely stock software and firmware.

As I am now, back to 4.2.2 with no user apps installed yet, I was expecting the 4.3 glitches not to be present just as they weren't when I was originally running this set-up. This was not the case. The glitches still remain :confused:

Could anybody explain to me just how this could be? I was under the impression that an RUU.exe install was a completely clean install but my state of affairs suggests that it isn't. :confused:

Hi,

Seems like we both have almost same problem.

I've been running viper rom since 2nd day i got HTC One and everytime i make speedtest or any downloads over 12Mb/s data signal breaks.

I called my operator, made them update cell towers LOL and even my sim card to latest spec for LTE, but that didnt helped also.

Then while i was s-off ing my device,returned to full stock 2.24.401.8 WWE i dont have any problems at all, no signal drop or data breaks...

Seems like something else is going on here, as I tried all possible options on phone.

Btw. still havent updated to latest RUU/base firmware as I'm not sure if after that update I can run viper rom 2.7.0 (fw 2.24.401.1) while new version (4.3) is still release candidate...

You have to go back to stock rom, flash stock htc recovery and re-lock your bootloader in order to have ota update. Root isn't a problem, your device will probably loose it anyway when you'll go back to stock.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Capt-Capsaicin:
I left my Nexus 7 in the airport. Once I discovered I left it I changed my Google password.

I have been checking the Android Device Manager daily to see if it registers on the service. It has not. Today when I checked ADM it is not listed as an option to search for anymore.

I went to Google Play and it is still listed there as one of my devices.

Does this mean that someone has logged on to a different google account with it. Is there someway I can still track it?

Thanks for any info.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Capt-Capsaicin:
More info from Google on ADM. Once someone logs out of a Google account on your device it is not able to be found again within Google's systems. This is complete BS but it's their position.

"Thank you for contacting Google Play Support.

Unfortunately the only way to see the device ID is to look in our systems by using a Google account. If we do not have the Google account unfortunately we cannot see that the device has been used or who has it. I do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

If there is any further questions or issues that I can help with feel free to respond to this e-mail or contacting us at support.google.com"
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Klena:
I think so.... You can manage your accounts in the Settings... Think that someone has turned off WiFi or (if you have) 3G and then deleted your account and registered with his or completely wiped your N7. Tracking could be difficult if no software is installed like AVG Anit Virus that had a tracking option. But if he has wiped your N7 to factory reset I don't see a chance to get it back....

Problem.

Originally was no voice mail. No indication I even have voice mail. Sprint Galaxy S3 on Synergy Rom. Tried using Titanium Pro restore app Phone 4.1.2-L710VPBMB1. It's been running for over 30min. and still going. My address book ain't that big....

ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!:(:crying::p
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
I'm not familiar with the Synergy rom. It's multi-carrier correct? I would flash back to a stock rom or something similar to see if it's still an issue. I have never trusted the multi-carrier roms, too many potential issues. Try a stock rom and then report back.

Everytime i plug in my galaxy s3 into my sony vaio pro 13 which has usb 3.0 ports, i keep hearing the windows 8 noise that says soothing is connecting or disconnecting.

I have tried the following to fix the problem and still no luck :

1) Re install the drivers multiple times from both Kies and manually from samsung's website.

2) Tried different cables

3) Tried different ports, and even used a usb 2.0 hub and all it did was charge.

Its also important to know that my galaxy gets recognized by other computers just fine, aswell as my Vaio perfectly recognizing a bunch of other devices (printers,usb wireless mouse, ect) perfectly regardless of whether its usb 3.0 or 2.0 device.

Its only my galaxy s3 and my Vaio that do not hold a stable connection.

I would greatly appreciate anyone whom can help with this delama
