No luck getting the promo. I've never been very good at sweet talking salespeople. Bummer, was hoping this would work since my plan is awful ($60 for 1 GB).
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] patt2k:
How did you try. Call or Chat?

If I was you I would call again and ask if there are any data promotions availiable to you. I don't see a reason why wouldn't get it (as long as you are on SHARE PLAN) meaning that 1GB has to be share everything plan.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] rm40f2:
Ah, I missed the part about needing a share plan to qualify for the promo. Mine is just an individual plan, not shared with anyone. That explains it. Oh well, it was worth a shot!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] patt2k:
If it helps there is loyalty talk text 2gb plan. Extends contract by 1yr if there is less then 1 year left. Same price as you pay but 1 gig extra. Give it a try :)

Loyalty talk text 2gb 1yr <<<<
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Redapple63:
I just upgraded to the 6gb share plan from 4gb. Same price. Thanks OP for the tip.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] patt2k:
Interesting I will update OP.

I finally see the other promotion listed as: 10% OFF SP LINE CHARGE X 12 MO for ************ INC employees for line (***) ***-****.

Valid 01/21/2015 - 02/20/2016
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] patt2k:
Yup like I thought you got 10% off line access fee for 12 months,I don't remember how many lines you have but you should be able to get it for all of your lines.

Promo results with VZW

Just wanted to share my results after calling VZW.

I got in on the previous lower pricing for 10 GB data plan for more everything ($80), and when I asked about promo data, they offered the same 500 mb/month shared for a year that a couple other people received, but no 10% discount. As a side note, I called twice, and the first rep told me that I would have to do a contract extension of a year on one of my lines (at which point I declined), but when I called a second time, the 2nd rep said that wasn't a requirement, so I had it added to my plan.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] patt2k:
Yea data promotions do not extend contracts, but sometimes $$ promotions do.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] edwardjiang7:
Does anyone know if this still works or not? Thanks,
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] patt2k:
There is a new promo actually you have to call them and find out here is the name of the promo:

2GB SHR DATA x 12MOS 2GB
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] edwardjiang7:
Thanks, I'm on the single line plan. Does that work?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] patt2k:
when you log into my verizon does it say Share Everything 1GB for example? if it's like the old plans with 1GB data talk text it will not work.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Justinphxaz:
Hey Patt, do you know if there is anything available to those (me included) who are on the share EVERYTHING plan with 6gb a month ($70 a month for the 6gb, $100 for 2 lines on the edge plan)? I did get onto that 4gb loyalty plan for a month with that promo code 172 I believe it was but I then switched to this new 6gb share plan. Just curious if there is anything promo or code that still works with it? Any that double the data or add 500mb or 10% more off? Although I'm already receiving the 25 off each line because of being on the edge program and 22% off data from our employee discount.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] patt2k:
I updated OP there is new 2gb promo, check how its called and give them a call.

also did you use reward points to get 1GB data for a month at least?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Justinphxaz:
So with that 2gb promo, I could have it added on for a year with the 6gb that I'm on making it 8gb a month for a year? No I haven't used that promo either for the 1gb with the 5k points but I was going to do that.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] patt2k:
Yep exactly.

Before you add data with points first CALL them so they don't see any promos on your account.

They didn't want to give me it though.. I had to bother reps on facebook and they said they gave me 1 year promo data of 1GB by using my reward points (i still don't see it it shows as 0.33gb)

When you call mention the promo name I updated in OP and ask them for it,then if they give it to you add extra data with points making it 3GB extra (for 1 cycle) (2 for 1 year)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Justinphxaz:
Nice I'll give that a shot! I appreciate it!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] patt2k:
Yea no prob keep me updated.. if you don't mind,be straight with the rep tell him the promotion name.

I think they didn't want to give me anything really because I still have loyalty credit that ends on next billing cycle and the promo from points.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Justinphxaz:
OK cool will do! I'll give it a shot in a lil bit.

Dear all,

I just install lvsw wm6 rom, and currently im trying to installl windows live and windows live messenger on to wm6..however I didnt see the live search bar like many other wm6 does as well as the messneger..

how do i have it on today's screen?

many thanks

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] TaurusBullba R.I.P.:
It's actually pretty easy (and simple to overlook sometimes). Just start Live Messenger and set it up. Once it's set up and you're logged in, It'll show up on the Today screen.

Today Screen Search Bar not on Today Screen

Today Screen Search Bar not on Today Screen - and not listed in the control panel's settings for Today Screen either. I have also installed Windows Live mobile. Can anyone help me get the search bar back onto the today screen?

Windows Live Confusion Resolved

- "Windows Live" Confusion Resolved:

1. The file you attached (windows live mobile, search for "Windows Live Mobile.zip") did contain the application that would allow you to have the very thin search bar on the today screen. It puts a "Windows Live" icon on your applications menu(/screen).

2. Microsoft Live Search ("LiveSearch.cab") is a FANTASTIC application. It puts a "Live Search" icon on your applications menu(/screen). It has these small but very powerful applications built into it: Categories, Map, Directios, Traffic, Movies, and Gas Prices. For example for "Gas Prices", that tells you where you can find gas the cheapest - near where you live!

Which rom is best for it please
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Shadolith:
Hi everyone, I recently sent my AT&T One M7 (converted via RUU to the GPE firmware) in for repairs, and when I got it back it was running Sense with Android 4.4.2, and hboot 1.57. Try as I might, I can't get S-Off on my phone.

At this point I've got a ViperOne ROM running, which seems to have gotten me farther than anything else.

Here's what RumRunner returns whenever I try:

I need to relock the bootloader so I can flash the RUU. I accidentally deleted my backup of stock and now my GPS doesn't work. Basically, I want to flash the stock ROM, copy the GPS files, and put them on my phone with the CM12 ROM. CM12 destroyed my GPS. I tried typing ./fastboot-linux oem lock and it said permission denied. When I tried to sudo the command it didn't recognise the fastboot command. Does anyone have a stock ROM or know why the terminal won't let me relock the bootloader?
[Nokia Lumia 800] :
all key combinations have failed to produce boot and screen but the vibration responds quickly to the sequenced key combinations. no password issue always seemed to need a reset and extra attention but worked fine until left in partial sun through draped window and was powered on without a cool down. I heard a hiss and though the battery was discharging itself, tried when cool nothing so I put new battery in got a battery icon with low level and would not progress in power from there would not accept the charge . I charged with a new cube led usb charger and data cable overnight got the right results noted above but this time no icon just black screen I dont know what the power level is. I have tried three days charging nothing computer and wall. Tried to make phone vibrate and plug back in no. Windows phone one after mango, have lumia 710 zero problems removed battery twice to reboot phone twice in three years no biggie. Mango 7.5 on 710. want to use 800 as a data phone only would not trust it (mine anyway) for communication. Paid good price for it would like it to work again. Should I try powering it up for a few days? Oh phone always put on a surge protector as all my phones are. I once put phone under my pillow and a few hours later it booted screen came on. Have read people putting hair dryers on them I dont think thats the way to go got me here in the first place. very wonky phone it will and then it wont. I thought maybe usb connection damaged but obviously it is accepting some power and phone responding normally and readily to various key combo prompts but no boot and screen. How might this phone be repaired I would like to know what specifically could be the problem a base power or temp for reboot, what parts I could purchase (out of warranty) all parts inside were connected and looked pristine. No evidence of any heat damage. Used another Nokia battery for this phone new. This phone was let to totally power drain and what I have read that is not good for this phone. Maybe it is only accepting minimal power as before dont know but will try to charge another day to see if any activity occurs but would appreciate any help in zeroing in on what the problem or problems maybe, no software updates if no boot and it should do that if anything.

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] All About That Sony:
I find my Z3's battery life not that impressive as critically acclaimed. A lot of people have posted their battery estimated time to be two days or more but for me, even after cycling the battery from 100% to 1% twice I still only get 1 day and a couple of hours more. For sure I can make it through one day with probably a lot left but I'm sure not a heavy user. Dumb ways to die 2, crossy road and wordament are the only games I play and they aren't even that big of games. I don't play them much either, maximum of 2 hours combined in a day. It says the screen takes up most of the battery consumption a but I usually just leave it on WhatsApp and do nothing. HOW??? AND WHY???
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] werakoko:
Do you really care about some dumb estimations? What is wrong with you all?! My Z3 works for ~2.5 days with like 2 h+ a day of PowerAmp at max volume , dropping to ~30 %... WiFi off (also not available for location, check that in wifi settings), location on precise settings (no wifi obviously), screen time 1-2 h. Projection is just a projection, why would you care? It just takes the average load, so if you turn it on after an hour of playing a game it will show a lower value...
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazroui:
exactly... want it to live a little longer? use the stamina mode.. (helps with screen off and some screen on battery life depending on how u configure stamina mode..)

all in all a very nice phone with a good battery capacity..

im starting to think 3000mAh should be the minimum/standard in every smartphone that comes after the Z3... u can seriously feel the difference compared to older phones with less battery capacity..

u need to learn how to use the phone without keeping an eye on the battery percentage.. im starting to get shocked when i hit 70-60% by the time im off to bed..

yes at days i get down to less than 10% but without keeping an eye on the battery percentage its living longer...

stamina mode on 24/7 , 3g/4g on 24/7 (no wifi) , auto sync on, whatsapp,instagram, twitter and 2 bbms sucking my battery but nothing this beast cant handle

by the end of the day im at whatever percent ... and sot between 2-7 hours ..

(not bragging but i guess i wont need bbs/amplify/greenify/bmw... with how the stock rom is working)
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhinav.tella:
Well gaming will ramp up the CPU clocks/voltage so lower SOT would be expected.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxquicksh0txx:
Not sure why he doesn't realize this.... Screen on for 2 hours playing a game is going to use your battery.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azeemthegr8:
I'm having the same issue as OP. Been through around 5 charge cycles so far. I don't play any games at all. Main usage is for WhatsApp, Twitter, Facebook, a bit of camera use and general web browsing. It's usually an even split between being on WiFi and 3G through the day.

I've had the phone for a week and my battery usually lasts around 28 hours (30 max) with around 4 hours of SOT, (with stamina enabled from 50% down) which I'm kinda disappointed by, given how everyone I see on forums posts great stats of 7-8 hours SOT. (Beats the crap out of what my old Nexus 5 was giving me, but still - bought the phone because I didn't want to think about my battery anymore)

Don't know if I just have a defective battery or I'm doing something wrong, but does anyone have any tips, or anything in particular that you do to ensure your battery lasts two days?

I read that the Facebook app is a bit of a hog, but I don't see any flags under the battery usage page, or any warnings in the section that monitors which apps are power hungry. Going to uninstall it and see if it makes a difference. That apart, my screen brightness is usually set at around 35% (with adaptive brightness on) Any other suggestions would be very welcome :)

Thanks!

I just received my invite for sling tv and noticed the fire tv is not yet supported but android tablets are. The apk file can be downloaded via the sling website FAQ page.

I have sideloaded the apk and it appears to be working fine so far figured I would share.

I have added the older version of the apk file. As of last night it was still working unable to test right now since im not at home. On a side note I plan to cancel my sling subscription due to its like going back to the 90's i dont enjoy scheduling my life around the tv id rather dvr everything I want to watch.

So I sideloaded the older version of SlingTV last night after signing up for the free 14-day trial on my rooted AFTV.... But the playback stays in buffer-mode...

Prior to installing the sideloaded version here, I downloaded the legit version from the amazons store... When the app launched I got an error stating

"Internal Service Failure. An internal error occurred. This can be caused by lack of network connectivity. Please make sure you have a good network connection"

The app would still load, but also stay in the buffer mode. Under the settings menu, it would show no data connection... even tho it clearly connected to download cover art, etc.

So again, after this I sideloaded the older version from this forum, I don't get the error above at all, but still no network connection. The Slingtv app works perfect on my tablet and cellphone, so it def is not my network. Do you think Amazon is blocking my box because I have automatic firmware updates disabled, etc? Is there a work around? Thanks a lot.

I have another firetv in my bunker for the rainy day but that too is rooted. Had that not been I would have given that a try. I have a friend who's is not rooted and I can try it out on his to see this theory, however his internet is at&t uverse and he gets max at 15 mbps.
