    Caller Name ID app the cause of data drops?

    Since disabling this app, I have not dropped data one time and my battery life is back to normal. Others have reported that disabling this app also fixed some volume issues they were having. If you go to the app and into its settings, if appears to give you the option to delete the app...

    Samsung isn't even aware that Verizon users received an update

    Like a lot of people, I've been experiencing data drops since the latest update a few days ago. Verizon tells me that they're aware of the issue and that it's up to Samsung to fix. Got in touch with Samsung support and they're not even aware that we received an update. Here's the chat I just...

    Calling 555-1212 will cost you $1.99 a pop

    I just noticed a $1.99 charge on my bill for using Verizon's 411 search service. I thought it was strange since I know for a fact I've never called 411. Going over my bill, I found a call to information, 555-1212 which was then listed as a 411 search call and charged as such. Reading...

    How does the battery life compare to other phones

    My understanding is that the processor in the S III is much more efficient than those of previous generation phones which means better battery life. What kind of battery life are you getting compared to your previous phone?

    No ICS for the Thunderbolt?

    HTC has released a list of phones getting an upgrade to ICS and the Thunderbolt is nowhere to be found. They do say to stay tuned for further announcements but it's not looking good. :mad:

    Hopefully the Razr Maxx starts a trend

    For those that don't know, they were able to stuff a 3300 mAh battery into the razr while only making it slightly thicker. Hopefully other manufactures follow suit.

    Help 4G outage in Detroit area

    Since sometime late Friday, I've been without 4G and have occasional dropouts of 3G. I've seen one other person in the area post with the same issues so I'm wondering if anybody else in the area is experiencing problems?

    Help No 4G since the update

    I applied the update last night just before going to bed. Upon waking this morning, I found that I'm stuck in 3G with occasional loss of all data connection. Could be a coincidence but since I've had no connectivity problems in quite a while, I'm thinking it's related to the update. Anybody...

    Help "Certified, Like New" is a joke

    Even though it's well known that the cause of the reboots are software related, I figured I'd try for a replacement hoping that the update hadn't been applied as I never had the problem prior to installing it. First phone arrives and appears to be in like new condition. There were no scratches...

    Help Why is Verizon swapping out phones with random reboots?

    Something just isn't right about all of this. I think everybody agrees that the random reboots are a result of the recent update and is something that will be fixed by another update. If that's true, why is Verizon swapping out phones for people? I called Verizon yesterday complaining about...

    Help No reboots since factory reset

    Like most of you, I've been experiencing multiple reboots a day since the update the other day. Called Verizon tech support this morning and they said that a factory reset has been working for a lot of people. I really didn't want to but decided to give it a try. Since this morning, I've...

    No corporate discounts with 1 year contracts?

    Ordered over the phone this morning and was told that I couldn't apply my 13% corporate discount with a one year contract. Is that true or did I get screwed over by a salesperson?

    Help Buying from Amazon and Wirefly questions

    After receiving a phone through either, can you call Verizon and add services that weren't offered at the time of purchase? For example, I just purchased through Amazon and they did not offer the $5 text plan or the $1.99 extended warranty. Amazon can not process corporate discounts. Can I...

    What gives, nobody will let me reserve one?

    I've tried every Verizon store in the area and they all say that it's first come, first served Thursday morning. The closest I've come to getting anywhere is a telesales guy who took my number and told me he'd call as soon as he was able to take my order. Yeah, I'm sure he'll call me right...

    Tension between HTC and Verizon over launch?

    There are some reports coming out today that HTC is upset with Verizon and is demanding that they release the Thunderbolt or face "consequences". If true, the speculation about Verizon holding off in order to sell more iPhones doesn't seem as crazy as it once did...

    Strange happenings on the HTC site

    First off, the Thunderbolt isn't listed on the products page, you have to do a search of the site to find it. Then looking under the specs, there is no listing for talk or standby time. What does it mean?

    Available for online purchase on the 24th too?

    Sorry if this is a stupid question but will the Thunderbolt be available for purchase online on the same date it's release in stores? Seems that all the talk about release on the 24th revolves around Best Buy only.
