I might add, that if they are wanting to play hard ball, and you signed on the X...................................... knowing that you had 14 days to reverse that, and it was IN WRITING, then I would be contacting a Lawyer for advice on how best to pursue fixing this.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] s2iHysteric:
It worked for me. Bought from BestBuy, shipped to my house a week later (because I missed the guy twice lol), just took out their SIM and inserted the one from my Galaxy Nexus (same size! Woo!), put the battery in, and it fired right up no questions. verizonwireless.com shows that I'm still using my Nexus and they still show unlimited. Thanks for the guide everyone.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] ks3rv3rg:
I don't understand how people are having issues keeping their unlimited data. Literally, the only catch is the need to buy the phone out right. I bought my sgs5 from best buy, registered that I was using an s5 on the myverizon page, inserted the Sim from my s4 and all is well. If I wanted I could go to the Verizon store and get a new sim so i can use things like isis wallet and I'd still be able to keep my unlimited. The only way you can lose it is by using your upgrade. There's no special tricks about keeping it. Just buy the phone at full price.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] kprice8:
I'm telling you what thought, next phone I get, will either be rootable from the onset, or I will be waiting for the Dev Ed of it so I can root... No question.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] hEaTLoE:
It's the people that are trying to screw the system and keep unlimited using a subsidy. I bought my Dev Edition outright, swapped SIMs from my GNex, booted it up and done. The phone changed immediately on My Verizon and I didn't have to do a thing.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] cowman4000:
Sooo.... I kind of went through this same thing 2 weeks ago. I ordered my upgrade on bestbuy.com and didn't do it 'right' so to speak... I lost my unlimited and I didn't realize it until after the phone came. I proceeded to return the phone to best buy and the bestbuy employee called verizon and had them restore my upgrade. I also asked him about my unlimited and the lady on the other end said it would take a couple of days to restore that... so I waited and nothing. I called in and spoke with a rep and explained the entire scenario and she said they do not have the ability to restore unlimited anymore... I asked her to provide documentation that shows me that when I upgrade and then proceed to RETURN my upgrade that my plan does not get reverted to what it was previously... well she nor her supervisor could provide that information so she said she would fill out a request form to 'technical support' which would fufill my request within 3 business days. 3 business days came and went and still no unlimited. I called in yet again and explained my situation again to another CSR and this time i immediately asked for a supervisor. I explained the situation to the supervisor and he said "Oh this is no problem, I'll submit the request and you should see it on your account in 2-3 business days" I asked for a confirmation code which he provided me. This time, in 2 business days i received a text saying my plan had changed... logged into my online account and sure enough I had my unlimited back.

My advice to you is, you need to use the right lingo and speak with the right person. If you keep getting stone walled, hang up and call back and get someone else.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] kprice8:
It's all about 2 things, how you word it, and your attitude. If you give them attitude, forget it, they will hang up on you.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] kuronosan:
This. They have no problem hanging up on a customer they can just label as "aggressive" on the account notes.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] kprice8:
Hence why whenever I have called up to Verizon with an issue, or needing a replacement device under warranty, I was never mean or aggressive with them.

I will admit, I have been stern with them and or sounding of high importance. When I have called them for replacements under warranty, (at the time this part was true, but mostly not), I told them that my device not functioning properly was keeping me from fulfilling my job duties, and that I need the replacement sooner than the 3-5 business days they say sending the device standard takes. We all know they have a Shipping contract with FedEx/UPS for rate negotiation. Perhaps a bit repetitive at times, but I made sure that when they sent my replacement device, I got it next day, and the shipping cost was on them.

Or if I had an account issue, and they tried to say that it was my fault, I said now wait a minute, how can this be when blah blah blah and blah blah.. And they tried to reiterate, but I helped them see the light..

Verizon in a sense is like a child, you have to coach them on how to handle things. Customer Service is paramount to them, when it is to their benefit, but, if they can get away with the minimum, they will try.

The threat of losing accounts or customers, a dime a dozen really, to them.. They have it happen daily, so those threats don't work anymore.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] conanbarb:
Or transfer your upgrade from the Unlimited line to a different line and then swap the phones/SIM after the fact. I just did this at Costco yesterday without losing my Unlimited.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] kprice8:
Using the upgrade from a non-unlimited line to get the phone cheap and then swapping them... basically..
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] conanbarb:
Actually, I didn't have an upgrade on the non-unlimited line, but I did have one on my unlimited line. So I transferred the upgrade from the unlimited line to the non-unlimited line, upgraded the non-unlimited line and then did the phone swap without losing unlimited.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] thesoldier:
This is (almost) exactly what I'm looking to do. Going to buy my mom a new phone using the upgrade from my unlimited line by transferring it to her line first. I don't have any Costco's near me so I don't have a membership, but has anyone tried this at a different store and succeeded?

Edit: looks like people have had success with Best buy. Might try there first.

i did not know about the pay pal?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eyecon82:
they are saying if you already used the free space offer from a previous phone, this offer doesn't stack onto it...its complete BS in my opinion...

it should be like a phone contract, and that the 2 year expiration date expires from the date of the last purchase of the phone that offered it

anyways, here are all the "galaxy gifts" that come with the phone

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhuff83:
Well, I called paypal and clarified about this $50 credit. Paypal stated that we can receive offers up to $50 from select merchants when using the application. So you will not get any type of credit to your Paypal account if you are looking for one. To me, Samsung should have clarified this better and it seems a little deceiving. Oh well.

Guys, any experience with the usual "purple tint camera" repair and Phone4u?

Left the phone with them, for warranty repair (no insurance) and they come back to me saying they won't fix it under warranty cause the phone has scratches on the corner indicating the phone fell.

That's correct the phone fell a couple of times. So what? You lose warranty on a factory defect like the purple tint camera?

Any experience with this? I think I'll call HTC customer service to see if this line is legit at all...

I am looking for a really short. Maybe just a couple inches long. USB 3 Cable. Does anyone have one they would recommend or know of somewhere that sells them?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] D33KK:
Check eBay out. You get average length, USB 3.0 official galaxy note cables for £2.59
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] mastermarc:
here's a 1.5ft, that's pretty small

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004HM3R3E/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I ordered a few different lengths 1.5, 3ft, 6ft, because the regular usb cables (of which i have a million now) don't seem to charge for **** on the s5. I also got a braided style, flat ribbon style, and of course in neon colors so i can find the correct cable in a pile of others.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] lilflip21:
Links please for best braided/material wrapped or high quality cable you have found.. Going to order a few since it's impossible to get a wireless back plate right now and hate seeing better cables right after I order lol.. Thanks guys!
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Pure+:
I found this one. Only concern is the quality. How can I be sure it's good? It's less than 2 dollars after all. I'd hate myself forever if I ruined my brand new phone because of one stupid cable. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004TZVKIS/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_0dEstb0WR6YWE
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] mastermarc:
Btw the braided cable i got doesn't charge more than 1.1 amps. The thicker cables typically will allow full amp draw.

Often times the cheapest cables will end up working perfectly, so don't have any fear there. The phone has a charge controller and will recognize any problems with the cable and prevent flow to the battery.

I'm syncing from a gmail account.

I've successfully filtered my contacts to display only those from a particular group and to only display ones with phone numbers. Panning up and down the list is fine and works as I want.

However, if I use the search bar at the top, it seems to use "all contacts" instead of my new customized view.

This is annoying as email addresses are popping up when searching for a contact. I have tons of contacts so the easiest way is to hit a letter to search. Is there something I'm missing?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Inane65:
Wondering if someone (hopefully more than one) can check something to see if this is an issue with my particular phone or something related to the software/hardware. It seems that when a call is placed or received, the proximity sensor goes to "far" and won't reset until it is uncovered and then re-covered. I have searched through the Verizon HTC One forums and have not found anything related to this issue.

If the proximity sensor is covered, and I make a call (via bluetooth headset (double click for last dialed)) or receive a call, the proximity sensor goes to the uncovered state. It then stays in that state until I uncover and then re-cover it. How I checked this was using Elixir 2 and checking the sensor data. I also set up variables in Tasker and Automagic.

So, this was my test procedure:

I start the sensor data in Elixir 2 for the proximity sensor. I cover the sensor with my finger (it now shows "near"). I use my bluetooth headset to place a call. The screen comes on with the current call. I back out of the current screen (the phone screen) and get back to Elixir 2 sensor data. The sensor now shows "far". From that point on, until I uncover the proximity sensor and then cover it, it shows far. I set up variables in Tasker and Automagic that show the same results.

I am running the stock debloated ROM. Rooted and S-Off.

EDITED:

So, this is the latest for my issue. I went from stock ROM to ViperOne 5.8.0. I am still getting the same results. So, I think I have eliminated the software side of it. Would that be right? So, it could be the firmware or the hardware? I'm still wondering if it's my phone only or if it is an issue with the HTC One in general. Is there anyone that can check this? Or give me another route to take?

I'm on ViperOne 5.8.0

Android 4.4.2

Senses 5.5

Any other info you might need, please just ask.

Some thing like that happened to me and i posted a thread and no answers.

My problem is that when the phone is in my pocket only one speaker is ringing(the lower one) and when on the desk face up both of the speakers are ringing.I noticed this affects only the call option(if i get a sms/notication and it's in my pocket/desk both of the speakers work).i've made all off the tests i can find am the problem seems to be from software.When i cover with my finger the sensor and some ones call s me only the bootom speker is ringing,when removing my finger from the sensor and receving cal SURPRISE both of the are ringing.

I've change the software ARHD 53 with ELEMENTALX Kernel.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Inane65:
Well, seems to be the same here. I have this posted under the Verizon HTC One > One Q&A,

Help & Troubleshooting

as well as here and at the Android forums. It seems that either no one else is having this issue, no on cares or no one can run this test with free programs. I dunno. The problems I have is that I use by bluetooth headset most of the time. I am a blue collar worker and try not to pull my phone out of my pocket when my hands get filthy. But, when I take or make a call using the headset, the display kicks on and then stays on because I can't use the proximity sensor to turn the screen back off. Guess I'll have to try other routes. This sucks. LOL

I haven't heard of the other issue you are referring to. I can tell you that I have not had that issue with my One. Doesn't mean that it's not a problem. Have you checked the Sounds settings for pocket mode and quiet ring on pickup? If so, I think I would try to either get with Verizon about it or maybe even HTC. It definitely sounds like it could be a phone issue. But I'm kind of new to all of this.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psicobelico:
Same problem here, when i'm in a call the screen go on, very annoying.

Now i'm trying this app "rezound prox sensor calibrator"
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex.foto:
I've tried every possible solution including Pocked mode& Quiet ring.I still think this is a soft bug till further notice.

Lets hope we get a answer soon.Btw same here with the headset,I'm using a hands free and when i answer/call some one i must manually turn off the screen or its turn of by itself after 1-2 min i think.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Inane65:
It's not a calibration issue. When the phone rings or you make a call via a headset and the proximity sensor is covered (ie. in your pocket or screen face down), the display kicks on and the prox sensor seems to default to "far" or "uncovered" (whatever term you like). It will remain at that value until you ACTUALLY uncover the sensor and then cover it back again.

The problem I have is that while the display is ON and sitting in my pocket, I have a chance of butt dialing someone or starting programs that drain the battery in addition to the dsplay being on. Not to mention, with the display on in my pocket, the heat builds up in the phone. I guess I have a $700 butt warmer? LOL
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtwow789:
I have a lag that takes 3~5 seconds for data to connect.

I am using PTEL, which rides on T-Mobile network.

The symptom is that, when I am Tmobile 3G/HSPA and trying to connect to internet from cold, I have to wait 3~5 seconds.

When the phone is idle, the icon stays "H". When I am trying to pull data, it takes a moment to change to "H+" and starts to pull data.

For example, when I open an article, I have to wait 3 seconds to connect to H+.

After finish reading it and try to load another article, I have to wait again to connect to H+.

My friend has Verizon LTE and when I use her phone, I am amazed how quickly I can browse through just like when I am on my computer with strong WIFI.

This is annoying and makes the battery drain.

On wifi, Nexus 4 can idle for hours and only lose 1% per hour.

But when it is on 3g, even when it is idling, it loses 10% per hour.

I think this 3g/HSPA lag causes the phone to be awake longer then needed to sync data.

I notice this because, sometimes the phone hangs forever waiting for data pull.

In that case I had to exit out of an app and go to chrome and try to access any website.

That helps other apps connecting to internet.

It seems that when I search about this connection lag, most of them have T-mobile.

I am wondering if anyone had similar issue and found a solution for this?

Is this also happening for folks who have Tmo LTE?

By the way, I am using Nexus5Experience rom and have left network configuration default.

I have apn that PTEL recommends which is "wholesale".

I tried "fast.t-mobile.com" and "epc.tmobile.com" and both have worst result than "wholesale" apn.

Hey community,

I'd really love some help from the experts here. I bought an HTC one that was originally on Bell, and the previous owner had rooted it and flashed Cyanogenmod 10.2 on it. To enter the sim unlock code, I have to flash it back to stock.

Now, I've been spoiled previously by using Nexus devices so I haven't run into this problem before.

What I've done so far:

Followed this guide about half way, to the point where I re-locked the bootloader. (fastboot oem lock)

I got stuck after that, because Bell apparently does note have an excutable RUU file. I've only been able to find nandroid backups.

Right now, I cant get past the bootloader mode.
