Ok so we have had many threads about our fears form verizon and what they will do to this beautiful machine. So i decided to start a thread and hopefully collect all of our questions to the dare devils who pre ordered , so when they get the phone they can perhaps better answer our questions. SO thank you in advance to any one who can contribute, whether it be more questions , or answers when the time comes !
1-Does it have the nagging wifi and gps icons ?
2-can we still have the ability to disable ANY app we want , as in other versions of note 3 , innately and not using any root method ?
3-can we surf and talk on 3g ?
4-can we simultaneously use bluetooth and aux ? phone calls routed to bluetooth when a call comes while auxiliary is plugged in ?
5- feature of moving app to sd still there , or disabled ?
6-anyway to disable 4g without root ?
7-Will Verizon cover the wireless charging ports like they did on the note 2?
the point of all these questions is whether we can deal with the phone stock, if god forbid , root is never realized , then we gotta love it the way its made.
Sometimes its hard to test all these functions in store, so the help is much obliged
any one else want another question answered , pm me, and i will edit the post and try to add the answers if new owners are kind enough to tell us !

The question really is why wouldn't they. It said in another thread they'll have the wireless back plate s view cover. I just went into a Verizon store and the rep said they would have both variants, the regular s view and wireless backplate

On the note 2 sprint and Verizon covered them up. I see sprint did not cover them up on the note 3. Hoping Verizon does not either

I think you're confused... What they're trying to say by stating that the contacts were covered up on the note 2 is that they were inaccessible without modifying the phone physically.
they are not covered up, Verizon computer system has a skew for wireless charging plate and wireless s view cover. The dang wirless s view cover is almost $100!!! wtf
$100? Someone @ Verizon has been sniffing glue again.
Any would you want to disable 4g?

1- to save battery in low 4 g signal areas
2- to ensure data limit is not reached in 1 day
3-to have consistency of signal while traveling across 3g and 4g spots , since we dont know how this phone will handle 3g to 4g and vice versa
Good to know, since I'm still using a dinosaur.

If they're covered up, the wireless charging stuff won't work.... What don't you get about that? There's nothing you can buy to make wireless charging work with the contacts covered up except maybe a dremmel tool...

Verizon may have screwed me. I worked out details about getting N3 this weekend, a few months ahead of upgrade date, but barely within REAL 20 month window... as of Saturday was supposed to have been pending shipment. Called today to get tracking info and rep said order was never placed. I'm *IRATE*. Have been a VZW customer since 1996, willing to shell out $300 for a phone & renew for another 2 years,
The chances of me getting the N3 on launch day are now between slim and zero. Any VZW employees on here wanna be a hero and take up my cause? It would seem I was straight-up lied to.

--UPDATE-- 10/8
After another two phone calls and a lot of .... sticking to my guns... I now have an order confirmation # and am expecting the phone either Friday or Monday. So not launch day, but okay.
ok well this sucks

My mom recently called complaining that her device was malfunctioning and they replaced her handset, she went through this process 3 times and at that point she said not to send her another phone, that she wanted a different phone. After many calls to customer service we finally got a hold of a really nice representative and she worked with her and she was able to "upgrade" to a Samsung Infuse which is MUCH nicer than the one she has now.
I had some legitimate issues with the Evo 4G, where my data connection would drop whenever I was inside a building, but as soon as I would get outside, or into the Sprint store, everything would run flawlessly. They kept telling me that there was nothing they could do because to them, it was working fine.. They told me, you can send your phone back for them to give you a new one, but that required me being without a Smart Phone for a week (which with my job, I use my Smart Phone everyday! I told them that was unacceptable) After many calls and complaints, I went into the store to get a new phone, where they informed me that there was a note on my account to let me get an early upgrade.
I think if you really want to get a different phone already, it might just be as simple as complaining that there is something wrong with your phone. However, they might want you to ship it back to have them give you a new phone of the same make (leaving you without a phone for a week or two) a few times before they even think about letting you get a different phone.
Try to find a legitimate flaw with your current phone, something that can't exactly be corrected, some seldom used feature that just doesn't work correctly, then complain like it's the end of the world
Hello there developers
Am a NEWBIE from india to the world of android and rooting stuffs
Hope to learn things from you ppl
Basically i ve got some queries and here you go
1.In plans to get a nexus 7 for use in india (no wifi for connectivity) and whats ur thought on that ?
2. Is rooting so dangerous that i must stay away from it ?
3.is the screen lift issue still there in nexus 7?
And finally
4.will i be able to CONNECT INTERNET THRU 3G DONGLES WITHOUT ROOTING THE NEXUS 7 ?
Hope to get ur responses soon
Thank you
Where did you hear rooting is bad!?
There's absolutely nothing wrong with rooting.
Sent From My N7 via White Tapatalk
if you dont like having complete control of your device, then rooting is bad, very bad. stay away from it. because root will give you complete control of your device. me i like root, because i like being in complete control
Rooting isn't bad on a nexus device, the process of doing it on other devices that are locked down can be a little dangerous. I bought my Nexus two months ago and never had a problem with screen lift.
Never had a problem with a Rooted device, its like getting admin rights on your computer.
Screenlift is fine if you don't have it from the unboxing, you don't have screen lift.
If you can't get WiFi connection, I suggest you don't buy a N7 (FLAME ME NOW!) haha.
First thing i did after unboxing : root and unlock my N7
I want complete control over my device! There's nothing bad with it.
But no wifi connectivity for a "wifi-only" device? There are UMTS dongles that work with the N7, but dont you want a device with integrated UMTS?

I think you'll be waiting a while for that.
They haven't even rolled out the 32GB version yet, let alone any versions with 3G connectivity.
Like I said if you can't get WiFi in your area, there are only 2 options, either constantly tether it with another device you have that has data connections, or try to get a compatible dongle.
Otherwise I would either get another tablet, or wait however long it takes Google to release a 3G version

I would get a tab that is capable of what you need.
The Nexus 7 clearly the tab for you, as much as I love the N7 and would choose the N7 over anything, this is a logical recommendation to you.
A wifi device needs wifi, simple as that.

I think he meant to say as much as he loves it and would choose it over anything else it is a illogical choice for you. Especially since underneath he says a WiFi tablet needs WiFi simple as that. I think he just had two critical typos. If you cant get WiFi then you would really have a worthless device. Idk how it works in India but most free WiFi hotspots in america don't allow large downloads off their WiFi so you really wouldn't even be able to load it with games. Honestly there is nothing you can really do with the N7 without internet connectivity. You could get a MiFi type device that would emit your own personal WiFi signal but you have to pay a monthly fee from your cell phone service provider if they even offer it at all.

I'd like to get the s4 from a best buy location this week but I've got a few questions.
Do they do cross upgrades WITHOUT effecting the other line's sim/phone? I want to use my wife's upgrade but she'll be out of town so we can't have her sim/phone go off?
(I'm asking cuz in the past I had that happen)
If the upgrade date is 5/8,can I do it with best buy on may 1rst like I can at att?
Thanks to any best buy employees or otherwise experts who can help....

I can answer the first question but not the second, I don't have a clue about upgrade dates and such....
I used an upgrade from another account I manage yesterday and they told me that worst case scenario, the other phone will be deactivated for a second or two while they process the phone onto the account and then off of it, restoring the IMEI that was originally used.... if she has an LTE phone already, it will make the process a whole lot easier since they don't have to add an LTE provision and then remove it
That being said, I thought it was kind of wild they had to do any of that in the first place when I thought they could just process the upgrade as an in-store deal since it wasn't going on that account - they didn't pull out the phone and do a test call on it, so why would they have to activate it in the system for the other number and then remove it? At one time, the guy processing it who I thought I had confidence he knew what was going on turned to me and said "do you by any chance have that other phone available so I can get the IMEI off of it?" Well no, of course I don't, I told you that! You had it in the system before you deactivated it, put it back! haha, oh BBY.....
same here what happened yesterday, im goin to use my dad's
upgrade, since his phone is the galaxy s1, it turns out they deactivated his number(old sim) and they gave me the lte enabled sim, since i told them that i am the one gonna use both the s4 and s3 not my dad, they provided me a regular sim again for my dad but just to call 611 att customer service to transfer again the lte enbled sim to the regular one, such a hassel though, if only i have a simcard adapter that time.

Ok so she has an iPhone 5(lte right?) on that line now(the line I will use the upgrade date from.)
So it will go off for a moment and back on? For sure? She'll be so far from a att store that any problems would be a HUGE issue for us.
Please let me know. Thanks for help guys.
From my experience regarding dates, yes. As long as its the first of the eligible month. This was 2 years back when i got the s2 so not exactly sure if policy changed but i doubt it. Radio shack did the same thing.

The iPhone 5 is an LTE device, you should be good on that end
I sent a text to the number I was upgrading before to warn the person they may be without service momentarily, and then called on my way out of the store, they did not notice any interruption in service, so yes, it's for sure

This is true of outside vendors like BB still? I know Att could do it but not sure about non att stores.
Best buy mobile employee here. Typically if you are cross upgrading it isn't an issue unless it's an iPhone 5 or an old phone that uses a standard sim card. If they call customer service they can typically make it work without deactivating the old phone, otherwise you would need to get a new sim for the other phone.

But wait, iPhone 5s do cause the trouble I need to avoid? Even with the lte sim in it already?
And what about dates, can you do a 5/8 upgrade on 5/1?

It is only a problem because they use a nano sim which is only compatible with an iPhone 5. As far as the upgrade date goes, Generally it's not an issue, we just might have to process it over the phone

I appreciate your help.
My issue is my wife with the iPhone 5 will be a a very important trip where she needs the iPhone to work.
So I and she won't have access to the sim to change it out or anything.
Is what I want to do not going to work then?

There is a good chance that it will work, but there is also the possibility that it doesn't. If we call AT&T to activate over the phone sometimes they are able to move the SIM without having to deactivate it. It will most likely not be an issue, but there is always a slight chance that it would be cut off. When you go to the store make sure you stress that her phone cannot be shut off and ask them if there is any way to do it so that doesn't happen.
Follow up :
I went to a BB mobile store on 5/1.
My *639# said 5/8 for upgrade but she said she could do it no call to Att needed. So she did. All went well. Wife's lte iP5 didn't even turn off(that we noticed).
So cross upgrade went well. Stoked!
Thanks all for help.

Okay here's a ? How can I prevent scammers from calling me without using a app? I keep getting a scam call saying that big red has awarded me soso amount off my bill and they keep changing the # and when ever I call vzw to report it they act like it's not their problem thanks
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Mhm...definitely strange. I have heard of that scenario as well from some of customers. First off if your getting a call saying that they awarded you some money of your bill thats a lie. Two...if anyone calls you saying that they can save you money on your verizon bill then that could be a local verizon account rep your speaking with. However if that turns out to be the case they will normally attempt to set up an appointment with you to come in to a local store so they can do an waa with you (wireless account analysis) to see what can be done on your account to see if they can help you save a couple bucks a month, see if you have any available upgrades and etc. Three...if they are not directing you to a local store then thats extremely fishy. 4. As far as blocking spammers from calling you without using a app would really depends o what device you currently have. I have a note 3 and it provides exellent call blocking, text blocking and etc features. Which device do you currently have?

How can I add a line with unlimited data?

Verizon no longer currently offers a unlimited plan to new lines of service. The only way you can have the unlimited data plan currently is by a having grandfathered in or b talking to a friend or family member who has a line that with the unlimited plan that they will be willing to give up to you through the means of assumptions of liabilites meaning if they would be willing to give up the line to you...you then can take over that line of service and put it under your name. However by doing so they will run your credit again to see if your aproved to take over that line. Also added benefit in doing so is that wherever that person left off in their contract would be where you would continue off from. By taken over the line ut does not require you to restart the contract of that new line you just took over and put underneath your name.

Can we please keep the ability to root the device? I feel that a Locked Bootloader, even though not ideal, is okay as long as Verizon keeps the device relatively updated. (Or to put in other words, I don't think that Verizon would ever allow the bootloader to be unlocked).
But without root, there are a lot of features that Samsung have removed (such as the ability to add Widgets to the lock screen when it is locked) and wouldn't be accessible to us even though it is available to most other android devices. Same with backups.
Ive heard talks about this petition to unlock the bootloader for the note 3 but to be honest ive not heard any confirmation or caught any wind of verizon actually doing that. And yeah I see what your saying. And I can add lockscreen widgets to my note 3 without root.

App widgets or any type of widgets to the lockscreen? Such as the clean master one touch boost widget om your lockscreen for example?

I'm having crackling and poping sounds from my earpiece and the home button is wobbly. I am getting a certified refurbished replacement in the morning. If the replacement has issues what are the chances of getting a brand new device?? I haven't had the best luck with refurbished replacement. And are the certified refurbished replacement really refurbished?? I mean the phone hasn't been out a month yet.
I live in an area with the worst service for Verizon. I never receive calls or texts. My only option is a network extender. Is it possible to get one for free? I spent $400 on this phone and now I'm locked down for 2 years. I don't wanna spend another $300 to use the phone I just bought. -_-

What does the new update that was just released for the Note 3 improve?

@Southern mind im sorry about the problems your having with your find. As far ar you getting a new device your chance might be 65% id say since the device is still new. How many fully refurbished phones can corporate really have so far since the phone just came out? Its not even been a momth yet since the phone came out.

And since the phone just came out that certified refurbished device may not really be one. Could be brand spanking new

@eurofeik hey bud. And the coverage within your area is that bad? What type of device do you have by the way? Is it a 3g device or a 4g? For the price you said you spent on the phone am guessing you probably have a 4g device if so thats strabge your signal is that bad because normally with our 4g devices the technology increases in building penetration, voice quality and reception. Also what area do you live near? So I can look furthermore in to details for you? And I cant promise you that they will give you one for free but have you also tried calling customer care and seeing what they say?

Currently working at a Verizon retail store.
Received the Verizon version of LG G4 demo unit
and it is 3rd day using it on my personal line.
Any questions that I might be able to answer?
1. I tried the Lollipop rooting method for G3 and it didnt work.
(althought the software status says modified.)
2. Foxfi works fine with unl. data in Verizon.

Ok so.. I preordered mine (full retail to keep unlimited data) at Best Buy and they show no leather option. So is verizon not doing leather do you know?
Does it come with that advanced calling - so you can use calls & data - out of the box or is it waiting on an update like they did for some of their recent phones where that comes later (but they never tell you how much later).

How has the battery life been? Are you a heavy or moderate user? Is there alot of bloatware on the Verizon setup as usual?
Is there an unlock switch like the international one?
Is the battery 2900 or 3000?
I see their G4 page says "3000" but ive seen mentions of a 2900 across the web.
Wifi calling?
Does simultaneous data + voice work in 3G? (note, I said 3G, not 4G)
LED notification blink speed?
Is it still useless by being at 10 seconds between each light up?
If I have to wait more than 3 seconds I'm probably just going to double tap the screen to see if I have any notifications. They might as well not have included it on the G3 with such a long delay in-between.

Are you familiar with the app Light Flow? You have way more control over LED than native allows.
The whole debacle with the x not supporting advanced calling despite being promised makes me really gun shy on buying a Verizon phone with future promises.
Shame about root too. Hopefully there will be an option. Xposed would be hard to part with.

You can get replacement back covers on Amazon. I will bet someone will have a leather one available soon after the phone is released.

Ebay has them also, I've looked. But read this http://www.androidcentral.com/upgrading-leather-taking-your-lg-g4-next-level and it shows and talks about carrier branding even from Asia on the leather covers.
The phone is not even world wide available, once it really hits in june, leather covers will be easily had and much cheaper. They are way too pricey now from Asia.
ps - Amazon does not show a single leather back cover that I see. You might have searched, but did you actually look?

I think "yoonee" trolled us.
Sorry for the late reply... I was out of town during the weekend.
1. Leather option, I do not know for now,
as there is NO information at all for this device yet.
Even for the retail stores...
2. Advanced Calling works just fine out of the box.
(I had advanced calling as Verizon feature with GS6.)
3. Battery is 3000mAh on my device. I've had great battery life.
I would consider my self as a moderate user. Got 4-6 hours of screen on time.
4. Unlock switch... I don't know what that means. Can you explain little more?
(Although I believe most 4G phones coming out on Verizon are UNLOCKED for international use.)
5. No wifi calling.
6. LED notification stays on until I actually check the notification.
How's the display in direct sunlight? Can you read texts or emails easily in direct sunlight?
I was just trying to answer whatever I could.
I'm not trolling lol

Screen seems darker than GS6.
But it is still bright enough to see it under direct sunlight.

Bah. Verizon tagging
Was hoping they would finally drop branding on flagship phones.
And in dev options do you have the bootloader unlock toggle?
Like I've said before, having the toggle doesn't mean you can unlock your bootloader, we can't until an exploit is found or LG change there mind.
Just did my pre order today, can't wait!!
Does it have any Verizon branding on the front? Please say no
