    Is the Note 4 the Pinnacle?

    I constantly look at the new phones as they come out but I just can't get past my Note 4. I am rooted and running ancient android (4.4.4) as it were but it just works. The screen is right and with the removable battery and SD card nothing seems better. I know that "better" is subjective and...

    Help What happens to phone calls if I put my VZ LTE SIM in an iPad?

    Pretty straightforward question. I'm on a grandfathered UDP with a NOTE 4 (developer ed - rooted) that I really use just for surfing the web and watching videos. I changed jobs so I started to use the phone for calls but discovered that I could auto-forward the number (VZ *72- service) to my...

    Help Prepaid DATA Plan with Note 4?

    Has anyone ever used a VZ prepaid data plan with their NOTE 4? I transferred my unlimited plan to an iPhone (I needed to move the phone number) and I want to use my Note as a tablet. Just curious if it is possible to use the prepaid data SIM in the NOTE 4 and how to approach VZ about doing it...

    Root [Verizon] Finally Upgraded to a 4 and dumping the II

    I finally got a developer Note 4 so the II is up on eBay. All rooted and ready for a new owner. With an extra OEM battery and the LemonHead! You know how to find it if you are interested. FWIW DLM

    Screen Quality and Phone Upgrade

    So I'm still really happy with my Note II and could probably run with this phone for a lot longer. The only issues I have is viewing the screen during dark scenes on videos. This is really my main use for the phone - watching videos while I travel. Are any of the newer phones better at...

    Grandfathered UDP With a Kindle

    Anyone tried using their UDP SIM in a Kindle Fire HDX? Supposedly the plan is agnostic to the type of device. I ordered a Kindle to give it a try but I thought it might be wise to ask here too. What about any other tablets? Anyone dropped their SIM in a tablet? How did VZ react? TIA DLM

    Largest Screen with UDP

    I have a Note 2 and the UDP. I'm thinking about changing but don't really know if there is anything out there worth the effort. I use my Note exclusivly for internet acces and watching videos. I do not use the phone at all. (Funny side note: the one time I did answer a call it was from the CDC...

    Root [Verizon] Thinking About Selling How do I Manage Security?

    I'm thinking about selling my Note 2 and moving to something a little newer. My concern is how do I make sure I don't leave anything on the phone when I sell it. I'm rooted with bootloader access runing 4.1.2. I think that there is value to the next owner keeping it rooted but I also want to...

    Root [Verizon] Volume Rocker

    Is it possible the freeze out some of the functions on the volume rocker? I use my Note II as a mini tablet. I never use it as a phone so I alway set the ringer and notifications volume all the way to off. I get annoyed when I bump the rocker and it goes up to vibrate or ring for the phone...

    Note II or DNA?

    I'm considering bailing on my Rezound and trying to decide on which of these two to get. Any thoughts from the Rezound crowd? I think the DNa would be a slam dunk but for the low storage and lack of a SD card slot. I like the idea of the note (size and stylis) but the screen resolution is...

    Root Netflix won't let me log in.

    Is there an issue with the Netfix app and the Rezound? I'm running rooted stock and it refuses to accept my login credentials. I know they are right because it works everywhere else. TIA DLM

    Help Is it safe to do a factory reset after installing an RUU?

    I jumped on the .10 leak and then the .12 leak. I'm wondering if a factory reset will work now or lock up. I know the software ID infor is way different if you are on the leak. TIA DLM

    Help How hard is it to replace the glass?

    I dropped my TB again and cracked the glass. Wasn't going to be a big deal as I was thinking about getting a Razr, but I've decied to wait it out. There are lots of glass kits in eBay, some as cheap as $25. Any idea how much work it is to actually do the replacement? I dug through ifixit, but...

    Root Why do some ROMs improve battery life?

    Probably not such a bright question but I have not been able to find a direct answer. Is it simply the ROMs get rid of bloatware that runs in the background and use power? Or is there something else going on? TIA DLM

    LTE Roaming in Canada

    I was in Edmonton last week and all the local carriers (Bell, Rogers etc.) were advertizin 4G LTE service. Has there been any work on Verizon entering LTE roaming agreements? I use a Bell sim for my iPad and thier 3G GSM service is pretty good. I know that is a different system, but if they...

    What happens to apps that are pulled from the market?

    I've been using (and paid for) MegaTV. I sent my Thunderbolt off for repaire without backing it up (my bad) and now can't reload MegaTV because it has been pulled. What happens to apps when they are pulled from the market? Can you get them back from somewhere else? TIA DLM

    Help Can I recover Apps saved to an the SD Card?

    I used APP 2 SD pro to move some apps to the card. I had to send my TB off to get a new screen and, foolishly, thought I would just be able to plug the SD card back in and reload the app. The only thing I've lost that really bugs me is MegaTV (apparently it has been pulled from the market.)...

    Root Can I root and keep the VZ Hotspot App?

    I know there are free tether apps for rooted phones, but I'm curious if it is possible to root and keep the official Verizon Hotspot app. Probably lots of raised eyebrows at that, but if I chose to pay for the service I want to be able to do so after rooting. TIA DLM

    How do I know if my phone has the reboot problem?

    Seems like a dumb question, but what are the symptoms? My phone sits in a holster most of the day. I can't say that I have ever had it reboot while I was using it. Am I just lucky? Is there some kind of log to check? TIA DLM

    Help Verizon Caller ID

    When I call someone only my cell number shows up on the caller ID. I don't have a probelm with that, but I would like my name to show up too. (Actually, I would like ONLY my name and not the phone number.) Is it possible to get the account owner name on the caller ID? TIA DLM

    My Thunderbolt hates Rush

    (the fat white guy, not the band.) Rush comes on AM 740 here in Houston. I was listening with my TB plugged into a car charger and got this constant oscilating whining noise from the radio. I checked all the other channels I have programmed and none of them had the same feedback/noise. I...

    Help Can I turn the phone part off?

    This probably fits in the "dumb question" realm, but I was wondering if the phone bit is separate from the data bit. I will probably never use this as a phone (I have a company BB for that) so I thought I might save some battery time by stopping the part of the phone that is constantly waiting...
