Verizon data struggling through Sunday night?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Verizon Wireless
While many of us consider Sunday to be a day of rest, your cellular carrier is not supposed to follow you. However, it appears that some Verizon customers throughout the nation have been having problems with the service on Sunday when it comes to receiving or sending data.
According to some of the forum posters at Android Central, the problem with Verizon's piepline reaches such diverse areas such as Southern California, Northern Alabama Virginia, North Carolina and Orlando, Florida to name a few. Some of those complaining say that both voice and data are out.
Are you a Verizon customer having problems with the service tonight? Let us know where you are, what problems you are having and wh...

Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCVerizon WirelessRezound
Verizon customers with an upgrade to burn have been focusing their attention on three handsets-the Apple iPhone 4S and the upcoming HTC Vigor, Google Nexus Prime and the Motorola DROID RAZR. What is missing from this shopping list is the HTC Rezound which has appeared on Big Red's Device Management System.

The HTC Rezound is said to offer some sweet, high-end specs as it will be one of the HTC Beats phones which means special earphones come with the handset and outstanding audio comes out of the handset. The Rezound will also feature ...

Verizon Wireless Now Collecting Your Web, Location, App Data
Like UnlikeFiled in: Verizon Wireless
For the last month, Verizon Wireless has been notifying customers through email of a major change to its default privacy setting: it will begin collecting your Web browsing history, cell phone location and app usage, for third-party marketing purposes.
You can opt out of such surveillance, although Verizon has promised not to share any identifiable information with these third-party companies.
If you stay opted in, you'll eventually start seeing more personalized ads while surfing on your mobile devices, or even when using Verizon FiOS Internet, DSL, or other dial-up services, said Verizon Wireless spokesman Jeffrey Nelson.

iPhone 4S already sold out at AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleVerizon WirelessAT&TiPhone 4s
If you weren’t among the million to sign up for an iPhone 4S on preorder day, odds are you’ll have to wait for more stock to come in. All three major U.S. service providers selling Apple’s latest handset are indicating that they’re out of stock. AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon will be dishing out devices to those that have reordered starting tomorrow, and if you haven’t ordered one, wait times may be upwards of four weeks. Pricing across all three carriers on a two-year contract is $199 for the 16 GB model, $299 for the 32 GB version, and $399 for 64 GB.
The iPhone 4S has the same 3.5-inch 960 x 640 touchscreen as the iPhone 4, but it bumps up the processor to a dual-core processor clocked at 800...

Why is the new Verizon privacy policy scary?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Verizon Wireless
Get ready for the so-called "privacy advocates" to go crazy, because Verizon has added language into its privacy policy which will allow the carrier to gather your mobile browsing history. We've already told you about the new language, and that you can opt out if you'd like. But, we also wanted to add some perspective on the story, because, this is nothing really new. Companies like Facebook, Google, and many ISPs do similar things already, and at least Verizon is being open about what it plans to do and how it plans to use your data, and it is giving you the option to opt-out if you want. There are consequences for both you and Verizon in this deal, and there is more to consider than one w...

LTE phones to be thinner than Verizon's, says AT&T
Like UnlikeFiled in: Verizon WirelessAT&T
It is no secret that the 4G LTE devices to hit Verizon Wireless so far haven’t exactly been the skinniest of the bunch and AT&T is taking a shot at that by saying their 4G LTE devices will be thinner.
These words come straight from the mouth of AT&T’s brave leader, Ralph de la Vega. So why is AT&T claiming that they can produce thinner 4G LTE devices then their main competitor? The answer is simple. The LTE phones that will run on AT&T’s network will use a technology called circuit-switch fallback.
When a 4G phone ventures out of a coverage area, the device will fall back to a traditional circuit switch-based 3G network. Verizon devices differ in the sense that they need two radios; one fo...

Verizon's test cars upgraded to benchmark real-life 4G performance against the competition
Like UnlikeFiled in: Verizon Wireless
Verizon's fleet of 100 test cars, which log a million miles annually will be equipped to measure the true 4G speeds of its competitors and of Verizon itself from now on, in order to benchmark performance and improve its LTE network.
So far the test cars have been logging voice quality and 3G data statistics, and we are familiar with the testing fleet from the "Can you hear me now" commercials. Verizon has equipped the vehicles with Ascom gear, which will allow it to measure things like download/upload speeds, signal strength and latency of all 4G networks in the US along the road, regardless of the technology used. The results will be used to improve against the competition and to gauge any ...

Motorola, Verizon holding special event Oct. 18 - Droid Razr?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaVerizon WirelessDROID RAZR
Verizon and Motorola have a strong relationship, as Moto was the first handset to kick off the uber-popular Droid lineup and the two companies are teaming up again for a special event Oct. 18. The invitation doesn’t give away much but we’re expecting some nice hardware.
The invitation simply says, “Faster. Thinner. Smarter. Stronger.” on it and if I were betting dollars to doughnuts, I’d say we’re going to see the Droid Razr. Most of you out there should remember how cool the original Motorola Razr was (at least the design) but the rumors on the new one suggest we’re in for a treat.
While we probably won’t get the clamshell design, we should be getting a Android 2.3.5 (Gingerbread), a qHD sc...

November 3rd pegged as launch date for Google Nexus Prime; Verizon pumped about DROID RAZR
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaVerizon WirelessGoogleGALAXY NexusDROID RAZR
Last month, we reported about a source for Droid-Life who calls himself the Panda King. The "King" had passed along word that the eagerly awaited debut of the Ice Cream Sandwich Android build would be launched via Verizon on November 3rd with the release of the Google Nexus Prime. Today, a source for Phandroid who is considered to be an Verizon "insider" confirmed that date as well. This means we can expect an introduction of the device to take place fairly soon.
At the same time, this source said that Verizon has high hopes for both the Google Nexus Prime and the Motorola DROID RAZR. Comparing the two, the source says the word he is getting is that the Nexus Prime has...

FCC files motion to toss Verizon's net neutrality appeal suit
Like UnlikeFiled in: Verizon Wireless
The Federal Communications Commission said Thursday it has filed a motion to dismiss Verizon’s lawsuit in appeal of the FCC’s net neutrality order. Verizon did not agree with the guidelines set in the FCC’s “Open Internet” order and said it was “deeply concerned by the FCC’s assertion of broad authority for sweeping new regulation of broadband networks and the Internet itself.” Verizon believes its complaint has grounds because the FCC modified its radio licenses, but the FCC sees it differently. “Notice of Appeal, however, applies only when this Court is asked to review an FCC order that modifies specific individual licenses. It does not apply to review of generally applicable commission or...

Remember the Samsung Stratosphere, one of those devices we’ve seen on Verizon’s leaked roadmap? Well we now have additional details to report about it, compliments of DroidLife which managed to get its hands on two charts comparing Samsung’s baby with some other smartphones.
But first, let’s talk about the specs. The Stratosphere is a device that we would most easily describe as Verizon’s version of Sprint’s Epic 4G. It’s pretty much the original Samsung Galaxy S under the hood, adding the ever-useful physical QWERTY keyboard to the mix. In that sense, it comes with a 4-inch WVGA Super AMOLED touchscreen, single-core 1GHz processor, 5-megapixel camera on the back, 1.3-megapixel front-facing ...
