So if your like me and are/were constantly checking your data usage... don't worry b/c there is a trick to getting unlimited data! Its a very simple procedure if it works...
1st call vzw customer svc, then when the computer csr asks you what you want to do say "add a feature"
2nd it will direct you to a live agent then simply say you would like to add the "30$ Mobile hot spot feature"
this feature is for unlimited data plans so if you can get the CSR to add the feature your data plan will change to a unlimited plan! No joke I did this 2 days ago. And yes you will need to remove the 30$ mobile hot spot from your plan, and yes your new data plan will stay activated.
And remember if at first you don't succeed with the first CSR agent... try and try again, I got it on my second call in.
Good luck

They have the right to change it any time they want. Unless you signed a contract that specifically gives you the right to unlimited data on their network they can remove the unlimited data feature, especially considering you tricked their system to get it.

No, it is not. Although they reserve the right to refuse service to anyone they want (whether that be now, or at the end of the contract period).

It's not the CSR's fault. They're only adding the WiFi Hotspot feature as they're supposed to do.
You're removing the hotspot feature later on your own without the CSR's involvement.

You realize it's easy to tell whether a phone has been unlocked, right? Potentially, Verizon could see the flag has been set and tell you to go pound salt.
Also, the mic cutting out *COULD* be a software issue. You said it happens to like half the people, but I've never had it happen, and I know 4 people with the phone that have no trouble. That's 0/5, which is less than 1/2.

It's real simple.. I didn't post this to argue with people. If you're willing to help me out then thank you. If not, then shut the hell up.
Look at the topic "microphone cutting out mid call" I never said it's hardware or software. But I do know it's not related to my rom. I've had Verizon replace my phone already for this issue and to be quite honest I'm looking to get a different phone because I'm sick of this one screwing up.
The issue I'm having is totally irrelevant, I just need a screen shot so I don't have to go back to stock 4 days earlier than necessary.

If this is my first time doing it then I'd agree with you, but why do I need to return to stock to give some Verizon tech that doesn't even know if my phone has a removable battery or not answers to questions that doesn't matter.

What they're likely going to ask is Android version, baseband, build number, etc. to check if you're updated to 4.0.2 or if something got corrupted or whatnot. It's not like they're going to ask what the kernel version is.

OK- all Note 3 possibilities have been mentioned. Feel free to add in any I missed. Kindly take care & add some entertainment value too so future readers get some joy reading yet another thread, which is just like the other 15 threads, all saying the same thing ...
Dont think samsung can afford to leave the note 2 without updates, and anger the Note community.. the note userrange is not that big that they'll leave us without the note 3s upcoming updates.. softwarewise the note2 and 3 will propably look quite similar, maybe the n3 will get a s-pen update that this screen cant handle and ofcourse more ram and so on..
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Since Note 3 will come with Android 4.3, it would be safe to say that Note 2 will only get the update after Note 3 has been released and after the peak sales of the device. If update for Note 2 is to be released any earlier, it would disrupt Note 3 sales as existing Note 2 users might not migrate. Also, would be Note 3 owners might purchase Note 2 instead because it is cheaper. So, wait patiently.
According to Sammobile Samsung has sold the Note franchise to Apple and Apple has pulled all functionality for the GN2.
Tomorrow all of our phones will implode and turn into iPhone 3GS.

Bad news. Spoke with AT&T support reps today. They said they no longer have any dates or notes on any future software upgrades to the Note 5. Said at this time it doesn't look like the Note 5 will be getting Android 6.x. I asked why every other provider has already pushed it except them and they didn't have an answer other than that they had been doing testing to make sure it works on their network, but now there's no more information. Not sure why AT&T decided to screw us. To me, that's a breech of contract. Don't suppose we have any legal type people here that would know if it's grounds for a class action lawsuit, or at the very least, able to cancel contracts/installment plans without penalty???
I'm done with Samsung phones through AT&T. For work, I'm stuck with AT&T because they have the best signal strength...but I think I'll be sticking with the Nexus line from now on...don't have to worry about AT&T supporting it at all. Sucks because I've really like the Note phones since the first one. Moved to AT&T 1-1/2 years ago because of the better signal coverage...but this is ridiculous.

I would highly doubt it's able to be unlocked. The s7 and s7edge were locked tight. Historically yes, but not recently. So, let's all hope, but if it's snapdragon based, it's probably locked. Exynos different story. Funny how things change. Annoying is more like it. Let's hope some folks cam post soon if it is indeed locked
