Idiots at the Verizon Store?
|
|
| Just Lou 2005-08-15, 11:48 pm |
| I took my fairly new CDM8940 into the Verizon store because I know
there is a new software update. (D160VE4T08_4.174) I left the phone,
came back later, and they told me I need a new phone. When I asked
why, I was told "the update didn't work". I asked if my phone still
works, they said yes. I told them to give me back my phone and left.
I have a feeling they're just clueless. Should I try a different
store, or let them give me a new phone for no reason? I've had
firmware updates done all the time, and never had this "problem".

I do not understand the question. They want to give you a new phone for
free or they want you to buy a new phone. Give or Buy both produce self
evident answers to me.

| What additional fucntionality will this firmware update give you? I guess
it really doesn't matter, but when you make claims they need to give you a
new phone, it brings up the issue of what the hell are you willing to fight
for a new phone for a stupid firmware update?
If they're telling you need a new phone, then they should explain why you
need a new phone. Coming in this forum and saying they told you need a new
phone isn't enough information to determine if the people at the store were
idiots or not.
Get more information, ask questions, come back and post your questions and
experience then we will all be able to give a more informed answer.

The 8940 IS a GPS phone according to Phone Scoop so again you are not
correct.

Verizon resellers and got great service and a better price on the phone. The
last several times I went to the main Verizon store in my town, the service
was awful.

The question is, why would the morons at this particular Verizon Store
want to give me a new phone (free) for no reason? There is nothing
wrong with my phone. I just went to get the latest software for it.
Unfortunately, nobody at this particular store was capable of doing
it, so they just offered to give me a new phone. FWIW, another store
was able to upgrade my phone this afternoon, no problem.

I just went to a smaller store in another town, and they did the
upgrade no problem. In the future, if I ever need a new phone, I'll go
back to the other store since they want to give away free phones for
no reason. <shrug>

Hey Lou. What is the new version of the firmware? My 8940 is 2 weeks

That is the version I had. The new version is D160VE4T08_4.174. The
list of changes/fixes hasn't been posted yet. There are no new
settings, and it does not fix the useless speakerphone.

Ok thanks. I'm going to have mine updated the next time I'm at the
mall. I hope I don't run into the same idiots that couldn't update
your phone. LOL!

Ok, I'm trying to get a grip on this.
You went to a VZW store for a firmware upgrade which
you have no idea what fixes it contains (if any).
They couldn't do the upgrade and offered you a new
phone for free. This made them idiots.
You declined the free new phone and went somewhere
else to get the firmware upgrade (which possibly might
not fix anything and could even remove functionality?).
Is that about it?

Ummm yes. I guess because they're incompetent, they just give away
$400 phones. Once again for those that don't understand, there is
nothing wrong with my phone. The idiots were incapable to do a simple
upgrade, and offered me a free phone for no reason. My old phone still
had the original firmware and still worked. All I asked for was a
software update, and they wanted to give me a new phone for free. If
my phone wasn't only a month old, I would have taken them up on their
stupid offer. I went to another local Verizon Store, and they updated
my phone in a few minutes. ....And I do know it fixes something. I
looked it up. It fixes a problem with the phone going into extended 1x
network, and also trying to use VZW EVDO. The phone would drop the
call and reset.

Please point out any fallacy you choose.....:)
Remember, a difference of opinion doesn't constitute a fallacy.....:)
Words mean things......:)
The difference of emphasis among the various carriers is obvious to even the

I'm glad I don't own that store. ;) Thanks for the info on the
dropped calls. My phone did drop a call or two when I had a very good
signal. Maybe this will solve the problem.

Excuse me for interrupting your delightful thread of wisdom, but if you wish
to continue to respond to such childish behavior of a mentally challenged
individual who has clearly demonstrated a complete lack of proper judgment,
then you continue to authorize an ignorant individual with a short temper,
who is most likely to cause a fatal accident behind the wheel due to road
rage from reading complete nonsense from a Usenet Newsgroup Thread.
Do not entertain the mentally challenged. Allow them to be silenced by
exercising your right to remain silent.
Both of you have exhibited a total lack of respect for one another.
Now, apologize and go to bed.

Ok, I thought I read your original post correctly. But then

And why were you upset when these folks wanted to give you a new phone for
free?

| I've been to 3 Verizon stores in the last 3 months I've been a wireless
customer. The sales staff at all 3 locations were knowledgeable and helpful,
and saved me some money on a few occasions.
The support staff on the other hand were atrocious. They were clueless,
argumentative and arrogant. I had to deal with them at two locations and it
was a frustrating experience both times. The third location I just observed
the support guy abusing a customer while my son was buying a headset for his
phone.
I'm not a real fan of Verizon in general, but I was surprised how shoddy
they can treat people.

my personal info & phone numbers into their computer prior to upgrading my
software. They said the phone would loose that information when doing an
upgrade of the firmware. Since they could not re-program my phone (it got
stuck in the middle of re-programming), they gave me a new phone with the
latest firmware. (My old phone did not work properly after the upgrade
attempt.) Fortunately, they were able to download my personal info into the
new phone. It's possible this is a problem with some of the Audiovox
phones.

I have as much right to read every thread that is publicly posted here.
Proconsul, you have demonstrated a desire to go "off-topic", thus is when it
is proper stature to exchange "private" matters off this public service and
onto private email.
Your judgment in this matter has been lacking of any reason or thought. Fear
not, since you are so good at following orders, I will tell you what you
should do.
Apologize to everyone for wasting our valued time, go to bed and awake anew
with a better tomorrow, promising a new hope shall you so desire to better
yourself for the benefit of society.
Out!

Which one is it? Are you too ignorant to see the incompetence of the

Verizon? I think 'Just Lou' struck a nerve, and it could possibly be
both. <G>

Don't feed the trolls or pick on the handicapped. Whichever one it may
be.

BTW, Here is what one of Verizon's more intelligent employees said the
update fixes: "The software flash for the 8940 fixes a problem with
the phone freezing during a call, dropping it and then resetting.
Right before this happening, you would probably notice that your phone
said "extended network". The problem was with the phone switching into
extended network on the 1x rtt, while trying to maintain the verizon
EVDO. The phone couldn't balance the two so it would just shut off.
You won't lose any of your SD functions. It's not an update to take
away the mp3 player, or anything like that, despite what some people
want to believe."

I had this happen once before with the whole failing to update thing (i needed
to update because the phone was starting to not work well). I just waited for
a week or two, tried again, and it worked. As for idiots in the Verizon
store, the store I go to here for Verizon is staffed with very knowledgeable,
friendly, and competent people (maybe I'm lucky?).

Y'know, I think you've said this before about posts that clearly weren't
spam. I think you just like to say things are spam when they aren't to stir
up reactions. And that makes you a troll. A great big mountain troll with
slimy boogers. And very stupid.

Actually David, YOU were the one whose reactions were disturbed by this
troll while the rest of us simply ignored him/her/it.
Always remember, those who feed the trolls are contributing to their spam
and encourage their actions, thus inviting their return.

What the troll is really looking for is someone to argue with it about
whether the OP is really spam or not. Instead, I called it on being a
troll.
Nevertheless, you are right. I shouldn't feed trolls. I must point out,
however, that by replying with a chastisement of me for feeding the troll,
you have given the troll a much more nutritious meal than I did. (And yes,
now I'm giving it another one, which is why I hope this thread will die
right here.)

| The store "upgrades" update special "non-volatile" programming areas;
referred to as firmware. The *228, does a lot of things, but doesn't update
the firmware. Got to go to the store and special equipment/download to do
firmware updates. Good Luck, and if one store doesn't have it, you can try
another. dr
