For some reason, they don't have an e-mail address to contact. Is your phone up to date software wise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just went to update the software and it told me that the available update is more than 100 MB large, so it's not available via mobile networks. I need to connect to Wi-Fi to download. Of course I am unable to connect to any Wi-Fi network, so it's not letting me download the update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea just update it through USB on your laptop/desktop. It's faster anyway, just do it on Kies. and back up your phone while your at it if you please.

Hmm, so it did re-install the OS yet you still can't get your toggles to work. It could be an app you installed that's possibly screwing with it, but I don't think that's all that likely. Does your bluetooth just not come on at all when you use the toggle? Or does it come on when you set it in the settings menu? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or does it come on when you set it in the settings menu? I also download the newest Android system 4.4 via Kies, like the other poster suggested, still the same problem. If I go to the settings menu and try to turn on Bluetooth. I press ON, it says "Turning on Bluetooth..." for about 20 seconds with the ON button dimmed, then it switches back to OFF. Same thing with Wi-Fi, but there it doesn't even say it's looking for networks, just switches off after 10-15 seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know PS4 took forever to actually work and it still has some problems. If games won't work live it is almost useless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but it's quicker/easier for me to send it from my phone then fire up my PS3 and get in to the app. I've heard the PS3 quality this year has been significantly improved though.

HuskyCaucasian Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Now things have gone too far.... Verizon location tracking will now follow customers from mobile to desktop Verizon Wireless customers got a surprising message this week, as the company announced ambitious new changes to its Relevant Mobile Advertising program. The carrier already tracks its customers' locations as a way of generating valuable advertising data, but the new program goes further, following users' browsing habits so as to track them from their phones to their computers. It's a bold new step in the company's data collection efforts, allowing Verizon to build comprehensive profiles of each user while still technically avoiding any personally identifiable information. The program works by seeding tracking cookies whenever a customer logs into the MyVerizon site, a typical tactic to follow a given user from page to page. In Verizon's case, that data is also combined with detailed data on each user's physical movements, taken every time the phone pings back to a cell tower for a signal. The result is a much fuller portrait than tracking cookies alone could provide. The end result is a tailored ad, delivered direct to your phone, representing a lucrative new profit stream for carriers at large. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 VPN won't hurt, either, when it comes to hiding yourself from your ISP. VPN won't handle the cookies, in which case you have Disconnect. Honestly, I'd use Disconnect, Adblock Edge (Firefox)/Adblock (Chrome), and some kind of cookie management. In Firefox, I use BetterPrivacy which self-destructs my cookies periodically and in Chrome I instruct it to erase cookies when I exit browser (along with not accepting third party cookies).
