I would just like to say thank you to everyone for all the help and support during my time with the Razr. I have moved on to the SGS3. But the support here was awesome. Thanks again everyone!
Has Samsung improved their GPS? It was always dropping the signal when I needed it most.
It seems to work great for me. What was the issue?
I would be driving in the middle of downtown Milwaukee and the GPS signal would be lost and go into searching mode. Very frustrating when you are in a busy part of downtown and need to react quickly to turns.
In all fairness, I have gotten that quite a bit on my many Moto smartphones. Including the RAZR MAXX. I do want a Samsung. The Note II to be exact. Or the GSIII if that isn't possible. Can't wait.
I have never used anything other than Moto. My list of "Smartphones" DX, DX2, D3, RAZR(white), RAZR MAXX. And the only phone I bought, was the DX lol. Through malfunctions, contests, more malfunctions and liars, I am now in the Droid RAZR MAXX
I had the LG Dare. I went through over ten of them(different issues). Then I broke down and bought my first smartphone. The Moto Droid X. I loved it. I then went through about 8 of them. I talked them into putting me into the DX2. They agreed. Went through a bunch of them. They said they could put me into the D3 if I wanted. I did. I loved the phone. I got an extended battery and that sucker lasted all day. I think I only went through 2 or 3 of them. Then I won the White RAZR on Twitter. Got that and loved it. Besides the battery dying in 4 hours. I got it replaced hoping it was a defect. Which it wasn't. I would get 5 hours if I was lucky. I talked with a gentleman at VZW and he suggested that I go with the MAXX. He said I was within my 14 days since having the phone. I reminded him that I won it and didn't purchase it. He said it didn't matter. He set it up and said I would be there Tuesday. It was Friday at the time. Tuesday comes and goes, no phone. :/ I waited most of Wednesday before calling. The lady I spoke with said there was no record of me talking with this other person. That there was nothing about the MAXX in the notes. I explained the situation. She was very sorry but couldn't do anything. I asked to speak to a supervisor. She also said sorry there is nothing she could do. Well, over the next few days, I called at different hours of the day talking to different people and different supervisors. I finally got a lady who was sympathetic to my situation. She took my number down and said she would look into it. After a two days she called and said that they weren't budging. That they wouldn't give me a new phone. I said I'm not asking for a new phone. I'll gladly take a refurb'd one. She said "really?" I said yeah, I don't care if it is new or not. She said she'd call me back. Later that day she called and said that she got it approved. WHEW!!! I am now in the MAXX(Which I have had replaced about 6 times lol)
The moral of the story, write down everyone's name & get confirmation numbers.
Also, I get my phone replaced for any reason. If I am not 100% satisfied, I will ask them to replace it. I am paying a crap load a month for a service that isn't always all that great. You better believe I will at least be happy with the hardware. Rattling speaker. Squeaky frame. Ear piece volume. Any freezing. Slow. Glitchy. Head phone jack static. Just some that I can think of.
No wonder rates are through the roof...
Because they can't(won't) make quality products? Or because I am not stupid enough to keep something I am not satisfied with that I pay through the roof for? Or both?
Bro, no phone will ever satisfy you.
You will return the GS3 or Note2 or whatever you end up buying multiple times. If it makes you feel better, do it. Just enjoy the fact that carriers aren't tracking these returns like best buy (which I hate and thoroughly disagree with). YOU are the reason Best Buy tracks returns and VZW insists on locking the bootloaders of every device. I hate the carriers greed, particularly VZW & AT&T but in this case if I was tracking ur returns I would just kick you off my network and refer you to another carrier. You are unjustifiably wasting finite resources.
You realize you've gone through $10,000 worth of fully functional phones in a few months?? Can you imagine returning 6 camrys because you found a scratch on the bumper? A nick in your cloth seats? Or returning 50 big macs because the bun was slightly burnt or the ketchup was spread unevenly? Unreal gtfo
Weird, I was just talking to this guy yesterday who has gone through 5 iphone 5's in a month and is thinking about returning the one he has, all for nitpicky shit.
I have that problem with my Droid Razr. The only way I can do it is to have my phone replaced.It was also a nightmare trying to connect my Samsung to a PC every single time. The proper drivers were installed and it still wouldn't recognize my Epic. This took away rooting the Epic for me...too risky.
What I don't understand is why so many of u return ur phones so often?! Getting a lemon or damaging ONE device I understand but to go through 5 or 6 devices!? Insane! I had the DX from the day it came out until the Razr came out w/out a single return. I have been on my Razr ever since also w/out a return. I love my moto but the Samsung's devices have caught my attention. I need Samsung to offer hdmi, a better build quality (less plastic!), and sd cards before I jump ship. Next device most likey razr maxx hd.
