I have a very cheap adapter with a short cable, found it on ebay.

Works flawless, as it has a cornered plug.

Thanks for your reply. It is indeed quite cheap so I will give it a try. I really hope the L-shaped plug works better!

got these

cant use them on a plane

makes me look like lobot

:P

but their sound is pretty good
[P3600 Accessories] anonimo:
I have just received the adapter from Hong Kong. It works great! No comparison with the one sold on Expansys. This one fits well into the USB socket and there's no problem with the sound disappearing when moving the phone.

Thanks for the suggestion!

I have the I.Tech Radio Clip

http://www.itechdynamic.com/en/products_spec.asp?cid=2&pid=02050

Works like a charm, no issues, and battery life on it lasts 6 hours, enough for me.

Best thing about it is the ability to skip music and pause and play music without taking your device out of your pocket or holster, bad thing is everytime you do, your device goes on and battery can drain if it doesn't switch of soon or other buttons may be pressed when it is on in your pocket or holster.

Another good thing is also the radio, and I know that it is just a perk, but good enough, if your sick of your songs, listen to the radio.

Hi everyone!

I'm using ZTE blade V220. Few days ago my gps reception became soooo weak. Navigation is practically useless. It was working quite nice before, but last few days it's almost not working at all... Im not completely sure, but it seems like it gets worse during bad weather, although I didn't have chance to check that because whether is bad last few days with lots of clouds. Could that be a factor? And is there anything that could be "common" problem for this (bad gps reception). On my other phone everything works just fine, but first one (ZTE blade) has much bigger screen and better PPI, so I'd like to fix it (if possible) , and it's my "first" phone.

Thanks in advance!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] anrichardson:
Anybody get the S7 on a 2 year contract that had unlimited data and was still able to keep it with loophole? If so, how were you able to do it?

And I am not talking about Verizon $20 increase and making payments on phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] reggie cheeks:
When I go to the corporate verizon store they are able to upgrade me with the payment plan. When I do I overly stress that I can not lose unlimited. The last time they said this can only be done at a corporate store. Not sure about 2yr contact.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] anrichardson:
Correct. Under 2yr deal you will lose unlimited. But was hoping to upgrade under the previous loophole.

I can make payments but have to wait until my contract is up in May and then have to wait another month so they can charge me the extra $20 then I can make monthly payments.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] sumepls:
I still have UDP. We have 4 lines, I used an upgrade from a different line to get the S7. That lines upgrade has been used up and the contract on that line has been extended by 2 years whereas my UDP is unaffected
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] anrichardson:
Yes, there is that option, but I was able to use both lines upgrades under 2 year deal and still keep unlimited data without having to use another lines upgrade. I have a theory that I will try and report back later if it works. They may have already plugged the last loophole to keep unlimited and stay under contract.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] sumepls:
http://slickdeals.net/f/7743625-ver...a-2-year-data-plan-on-a-nationwide-basic-line

You could use the UDP upgrade to get the phone at the subsidized price, NEVER activate it, sell it, and buy whatever you want with it afterwards.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] anrichardson:
Could this new carrier sim lock have anything to do with people losing UDP through loophole now?

I tried to do the slickdeals way cause I was able to do it my last 2 phones (LG G2 & Note 4). The only thing I can think of is that my S7 shipped from store. So I think they activated before I got it.

Anybody got any possible solutions that I could try?

I am thinking about upgrading my wife's line then activate it on my line then switch it back to her line?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] djh816:
Just did this today on VZW successfully :) Grandfathered unlimited data still. The rep told me that the old strategy of activating on another line and then swapping would no longer work but he essentially did that and moved my old SIM from my Nexus 6 over and it worked perfectly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] anrichardson:
Are you paying the extra $20 on either line?

And your signed up for another 2 years?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] djh816:
If you are refering to the extra $20 Verizon charges grandfathered data users now, yes (afaik this is done automatically by their billing department, not much you can do to avoid it except change the plan which loses unlimited data). Otherwise, not sure what you mean. I currently pay $50 per month for the unlimited data. The phone's contract is on the other family plan line but yes extended for another two years and subsidized S7 price of $200

Edit: To be clear, when you upgrade to a subsidized phone using another line, the contract gets extended (and updated) on that other line, not the unlimited data line. That's how the loophole works. The rep told me that now they are actually looking at MEID when you swap the phone onto the unlimited data lines in their system and if they see it's a newly activated Verizon phone (phones bought elsewhere or off contract are safe) they force you to lose unlimited data. Somehow my rep got around this by just inserting my existing SIM card in the phone during activation rather than using VZW's computer system. Then he reverted the other line to the old phone so my unlimited data line was untouched.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] anrichardson:
So what I did was order the S7 on my wife's upgrade line and we both have unlimited. I took out the new sim card and inserted her old one and it automatically switched the data to 2gb. So I took the phone back to get my unlimited back. That was the old loophole. Take out new sim and put old sim in.

But the only thing I can think of is that my phone was shipped from best buy store instead of warehouse maybe. So will try again from another retailer and see. Then bypass the activation on the phone and then insert my wife's sim after activating it on my line by inserting my sim card in it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] djh816:
Ah yeah that's trickier. The main rule of thumb now is don't change or update plans period.The only way I've been able to do that is use an already tiered data line to upgrade and then swap it to my line. Bummer that just activation switched you to the new tiered plan though :( Best of luck getting it back
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] anrichardson:
I did get it back. But it does seem like they plugged all the loopholes now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Bxrider117:
I used to keep up with my wife and I unlimited data. We never used to go over 10gb a month combined. I ditched it because VZW offered me 20gb for $100 to share with my family, wife and two kids (who are cellphone less). Plus I get a 20% discount. So 20gb for $80. Those way I just buy my phones out right or pay monthly. I did this for the S7 edge. Sold my 6p and paid off the rest of the phone. Plus I got an additional 2gb for the upgrade so 22gb for $80.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] BoilerDroid:
I just upgraded to the S7 yesterday at BestBuy. They ran it through as a straight 2yr upgrade with no change to my UDP.

DOES NOT WORK!!! Had to reverse upgrade and go back to my note 4. They submitted a ticket, and now I'm waiting on my UDP to be restored.

Same rules still apply....

1. You CANNOT transfer/use the upgrade from a UDP line, or you will loose your UDP.

2. You CAN either buy a phone at full retail or on the device payment plan (on top of your current billing).

3. IF you have another non-UDP line on your account eligible for an upgrade, you can upgrade and activate the new device on that line. THEN, you can swap the SIM's.

**Meanwhile those VZW A$$HATS are still making bank on my plan (with the subsidized phone costs included) + the $20 bump they added last year.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] anrichardson:
How did that happen? Can you be specific?

I just read one of your older post from the note 4 "unlimited data". So technically you are already paying the extra $20 for each one of your lines with UDP. I am still under contract. 1 line is up in May and the other is up in March 2017. I am trying the loophole without having to pay the extra $20 fee for UDP per line.

But if I am putting the pieces together from an older post that you have, you are paying the $20 fee per line with UDP and you were able to sign up for the the 2 year deal to get the S7 at $200? OR you upgraded 1 of your tiered phones and switched?

I only have 2 lines on my account and both have UDP. It's not worth it just to add a line to get the the phone to keep unlimited data before the $20 increase. BUT if what you are saying that you upgraded the line with UDP to a 2 year deal that has the $20 extra fee for unlimited data, then there is still hope. I just may have to wait until May so they can charge me the $20 fee then upgrade.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] BoilerDroid:
[MENTION=2473135]anrichardson[/MENTION] I edited my post. You cannot touch an upgrade on/from a UDP line and keep unlimited data.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] schoolage1080:
Reporting my experience on #3. No need to activate then swap SIMS, I simply removed the shipped SIM before first boot and inserted the SIM from my UDP line. UDP still intact after new billing cycle.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] anrichardson:
Can you explain further?

Because I upgraded my wife's line with UDP and turned old phone off and took out old sim out as well as taking out new sim before turning on. I then put old sim into S7 then booted up and that is where I lost my UDP.

Edit: By your expierence, did you try this after Verizon implamented the $20 price increase for UDP? Because I have done twice before they charged $20 extra and worked just fine for me too, but trying now with the S7 doesn't seem to work and like others as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] schoolage1080:
OK so I upgraded my UDP line on 11/14/15 (The LAST day for the Best Buy "Keep Existing Plan" method), ordered online, shipped S6 Edge+ to home removed the SIM before first boot, placed my wife's SIM (Non-Unlimited Line) in new phone, destroyed toxic SIM that Best Buy shipped, thus avoiding the $20/month UDP price hike. Then, I pre-ordered the S7 Edge, received on 3/9/16, before first boot removed SIM, swapped SIM from my UDP Device. Activated fine, avoided activation fee, kept $30/month UDP (until 11/15/17) left everything completely the same on my wife's tiered data plan.

No issue whatsoever, even got my new bill two days ago after using S7 Edge on UDP for exactly two weeks. To be clear, I never activated the S7 Edge on the line which I used the upgrade, never switched upgrades, just used my wife's upgrade and never let the S7 activate on that line. No issues with initial activation.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] sumepls:
Alternatively, if you want to use your upgrade on a UDP plan, buy it subsidized, never activate it, sell it, and then purchase it from somewhere else.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Tada10:
Will that seriously work? You only lose the upgrade and nothing is changed?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] anrichardson:
Yes, just the user above also said that he basically used the upgrades for his lines but used the phones on opposite lines to keep unlimited. Which is what I am going to have to do as well. Seems do be the best option now.

But I will try to activate my wife's upgrade on my line and then put back on her line to see if that will work too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] fenderplayer87:
I just got the S7 yesterday. I upgraded my wife's line to stay away from the edge program and from losing my UDP. Only issue I ran into was we both had S4's which use micro SIMs and the S7 uses a nano. The Verizon reps wouldn't swap the SIMs around for us, so I walked down to a best buy mobile store and the rep there cut my SIM down to a nano Then I went home and reactivated my wife's micro SIM online. She has her S4 and I got the S7. I still have UDP and only paid $200 for the S7.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] anrichardson:
Did your wife's line ever have UDP? And if she did does she still have it.

I see plenty of upgrading lines then just activating on another line but yet to see upgrading a UDP line activating on the same line and keeping it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] fenderplayer87:
She does not have UDP. She was added 1.5 years ago. They were going to let me upgrade on my line, even as far as transfer an upgrade over to it. But the only way was to do the edge program, which in the end I would have been paying full retail price ($600+) instead of 2 year upgrade price ($200).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] IMMORTALKING69:
Looks like im a bit confused on everyones experiences. When i got my S6, i pre ordered through BB website using my 2yr upgrade, the site said they no longer offer my unlmtd plan an i just picked the 2gb plan. When i got it, pulled the shipped sim card out and put my old one in, ( came from s4 had to cut down to nano myself). No problems activating, still have my UDP. You guys are saying that they fixed this loop hole and how exactly?? Its illegal for them to activate anything on your line w/o you being present. This is why it has to be shipped to your house. Anybody?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] anrichardson:
They fixed the loophole last November when they wanted to charge user with UDP and off contract an extra $20.

So just taking the sim out and putting old one in does not work anymore.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] IMMORTALKING69:
Oh man that's terrible news. Is there a link to people verifying? I don't see how that's possible if all your existing info is installed on a never turned on phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] anrichardson:
Well, I am one who can verify that it is closed. I have done the loophole twice before and tried it with the S7 and knocked my unlimited to 2gb. So what I am trying to do now is upgrade the phone and activate it on another entirely different account to see what happens to my account.

From what I've been reading is that verizon is now looking for the IMEI to be activated. So hoping that verizon is expecting me to activate the phone with the new IMEI (which I already know what it is) on my account which it never does, and will be activated on a friends account and see if I can take my friends upgrade. This might be the only way around it now.

Everyone else is upgrading a line that doesn't have UDP and activating on a line that does, which will no problem. But the issue is upgrading and activating the UDP line.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] IMMORTALKING69:
Thanks for the clarification bud. That's a bummer for sure. Closing my upgrade loophole and going to charge be 20$ extra. Damn Verizon. Nexus phone might be in my future...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] anrichardson:
That is why I am trying to upgrade and keep plan the same before they charge me the extra $20. We'll see if upgrading before my contract is up will change that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] anrichardson:
Update: I tried upgrading from the costco service and after litterally 4.5 days waiting to get it shipped or some kind of info after they charged me, I finally got another email saying that I had to agree to have my current phone be disconnected in order for the phone to be shipped. So they wanted to activate it like in store before shipping it to me. So I declined and canceled the order.

I already had pre ordered the S7 through best buy originally, but not sure if this happened in the fine print I did not read. But my wife's line never was disconnected at all before the S7 showed up. My UDP was just kicked off when I tried activating it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] anrichardson:
Update #2

I reordered the S7 from best buy and again it shipped from store, not sure if there is any activating on there side or not.

But I bypassed the the activation setup to where you can just use the phone as a wifi device. Then I put a friends sim in the phone from an entirely different account and was able to make calls and nothing happened to my account far as any changes, but when I went to put my wifes sim in the phone, it recognized the sim and # but could not make any calls without activating it on her line.

So I then factory reset the S7 and tried activating with my friends account from bootup and when the phone activated, my account had changed, but here is what happened, It dropped my wifes phone like there was no device on her line and changed my data to 2gb. I tried to put my wifes sim in and still would not take it without activating it on her line. So I put my wifes sim back in her old phone and had to call verizon to get it back up and running and everything went back to normal even got UDP back with no hassle, cause the S7 was never activated on her line. SO...

It technically is doable, but the theory of just upgrading and selling it for retail price will still screw you over because the person that activates it will screw your line up unless they bypass the activation screen and who would take that chance.

SO what you need to do is just bypass the activation screen to where it's just wifi device then pop another users sim and your line will not change, I would recommend doing this only on your account and just swap upgrades.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] bailyc:
Have you done this recently? Where you use the tiered line to get the upgrade, and then just swap SIM to put it on the unlimited line?

We are getting a S7 edge in today which will be activated in-store on the tiered line, purchased with the tiered line's own upgrade. Was thinking of just dropping in the UDP SIM when we get home, as that line has never used its upgrade or changed its plan. Wasn't sure if that would be safe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] djh816:
I did my upgrade a month or two ago but yes, it was via another line on our family plan that was eligible for upgrade. The representative just upgraded the phone on that line but when it came to activation inserted my existing SIM card that I had from my Nexus 6 and it activated on my line without issue. That said, the representative warned me that this was something they "couldn't do" as far as the whole upgrade on one line and then transfer to mine but he said he'd try just in case (I was ready to accept tiered..) and it worked perfectly without changing my data plan on the unlimited line
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] bailyc:
Great, thanks for the added details. I read some conflicting info about whether it was OK to swap like that. I guess people are just being super cautious, which makes sense. Glad it worked out for you [emoji106]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] anrichardson:
I upgraded one of my 2 lines with UDP and was able to keep UDP on both lines.

I have only 2 lines and both have UDP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] tjumper78:
i read all the stuff but theyre a bit too technical for me.

here's my situation and i am hoping that someone could give me some pointers.

verizon wireless family plan (all with 2 year contracts)

line 1 (main) myself. galaxy s5 with unlimited data plan.

line 2 wife. s6 edge+ with 2gb/month.

line 3 son1(brian). galaxy s3 with 2gb/month.

line 4 son2(jacob). note 5 with unlimited data plan. THIS LINE IS CURRENTLY ELIGIBLE FOR AN UPGRADE.

jacob switched to note 5 a few months ago by brian transferring his upgrade eligibility to jocob's line. we thought jacob was going to lose his UDP. he had a hard time activating the note 5, so he took it to a verizon store and they activated note 5 while he kept his UDP!

now, jacob's line is eligible for an upgrade, and i want to use his upgrade eligibility to get a phone for myself (line 1).

if i just order an s7 edge with jacob's upgrade eligibility, can i have it activated on line 1 and keep the UDP? the place where jacob went has closed down.

thanks for your help!

ken
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] anrichardson:
So all you need to do is upgrade Jacobs line and activate on your line, BUT, make sure that Jacobs sim never enters the phone.

Once you get the phone in hand, do not turn it on. Then take out the sim that came with it and put your sim it to activate and all UDP will be safe.

Just a pointer though once you have activated on your line, try not to call Verizon to help with anything. But you can log on to your account to make sure everything is ok.

Let me know if you need any other help

upgrade

question. i have unlimited data on one line and 2gb on other line. my unlimited line has an upgrade, if i transfer my upgrade to my wifes line (2gb) activate it than transfer phone to my line will i lose my unlimited? i'm at the checkout and it shows my plan will stay the same for both of us, but i'm still edgy about it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] soopervoo:
I would suggest for you to go in stores (bball, Verizon, costco) to have them transfer to your 2gb line and upgrade. Usually talk to the younger workers who don't care that much and will agree to help you keep udp

This worked for me at costco when I transferred my udp'so upgrade to the 2gb line for 2 year contract. I do not incur the additional month $20 charge others reported
