  • Do the permissions weird anyone else out? Why does this Verizon app need to see my running apps as well as send and receive text?

  • I don’t think I like the new widget look…But, I will take my auto-update.

  • could they make the lettering any smaller? i need a magnifying glass to be able to read it.

  • I cracked 150 GBs for the first time! Woohoo! Next goal, 225GB, gotta make the Verizon bill worthwhile right??

      • Yeah it’s not because Verizon did the bare minimum in setting up LTE towers just enough to label an area covered? Damn that Verizon for offering unlimited data usage, everyone should of dropped it to pay more money for less, like a good corporate stooge

        50% of Verizon users use LTE and the entire system is bogged down with low speeds as it is now. Because there are too many people using one tower at any given moment.

        Here in St.Louis they have 7 lte towers, outside their regular towers, to cover over 800 sq. miles and over 2 million people in St.Louis city and counties.

        An LTE tower cost $150,000 each, and Verizon made 135 Billion last year, without paying taxes for 4 years. They made around half a Trillion dollars the past 4 years, granted they paid 130 Billion to buy back the rest of Verizon, but they still had enough to double the system in place.

        • I understand where your going with this and do agree with you…but there are other items in place here verizon cant just decide to knock down trees in the forest n start poppin up towers all over the place…but your right they dont care enough

        • We have enough damn cell towers already. I can see 3 spaced out in less than a 2 mile radius around my house. Verizon just needs to beef up their network on existing towers to the range a tower could withstand a while back ago. I remember 1 cell tower could provide coverage in a 5-10 mile radius instead of a 1-2 mile radius that they do today.

    • I can’t think of any reason to ever use that much data. I have a 4gb plan and I rarely ever go above 3 gb.

    • w t f are you doing….i dunno why your proud of this its a*holes like you that made verizon kill unlimited data…i hope they throttle the sh*t out of you for every oz of data u use going forward

      • Yea…I’m an a hole for using a service I pay for. And I’m suuuure I am the sole reason unlimited got killed off… I signed up with Verizon the day before they killed unlimited, so your theory is kaput already. But way to be a total tool and insult a complete stranger. And for what reason? Because I use more band with than you. Some one call a waaambulance for this douche.

        • I didnt say you in particular…i said people like you…and its a fact that people like you who abused the unlimited data is the reason they cancelled it…and the reason we are all coming out of pocket for phones instead of using 2 year upgrades…so yes it may not be you specificially but youve added fuel to the fire…the fact your abusing data like this (which seems for no reason) is a little ridiculous…god knows why or what your doing i mean go get triple play or something n stop running your entire house off your cell phone like a bum
          n dont be using wambulance on me buddy…i created wambulance

          • They didn’t cancel it because people were abusing it, they canceled it to make more money. And if you read the fine print, they can cancel any contract any time for any reason. So if Verizon has a problem with 150gb a month, they could just bump the individual off. So no one is “ruining” anything, who cares if Joe wants to use 200gb.

          • But by not paying Comcast I have extra cash to buy all these butthurt users panty un-bunchers!
            That would just add to bills for what reason? While I have Verizon blasting me in the @$$ with my monthly bill, I should invite Comcast to blast me in the @$$ as well? Forget that.
            But seriously, I Dont get what all the fuss is about. The people who implemented all Verizon’s plans got paid big bucks to figure out every way to get every penny they can. So while they scheme to rip people off with bloated service charges, I see what I do as returning the favor.

        • Insert TBL yourenotwrongyourejustanasshole.png. No one is denying that what you’re doing is within the bounds of your contract, but we are implying that you are grossly abusing it.

          • And those stuck on 2GB plans don’t feel like Verizon is abusing them? I pay $29.99 for my data and $29.99 for my fiancé to have 2GB on her plan. At $60 a month for data alone, I’ll “abuse” every ounce I can. Sorry, but I’m not sorry.

          • Have you ruled out the possibility that they’re losing so much money from people like you, that to make up for losses there they have to increase costs somewhere else?

          • Hahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahaha
            You’re not really that diluted are you? If that were the case prepaids wouldn’t exsist, T-mo would never be able to consider making the moves they have, and there would not be such a gap between what big red charges vs. the competition. I mean there are so many reasons I could like why the notion my usage is to blame for their prices, its absolutely laughable. The prices were set well before I showed up, and have even dropped for some services since my joining. (Thanks to good, recent competition)

          • I see. So for your approval I have to say that Verizon is the worst company in the world and deserves to be fucked every way possible.

          • No, far from it. But referring to me as an a hole warrants a response. And being that your argument has broken down into making completely ungrounded statements, I’m going to do what your dad should have done at your conception and pull out.

  • I remember this during the short six months I had Verizon.Widget never worked then….

  • I have unlimited sooooo its cool to see how much data I am using. 83gb so far. Bwahahhahahah lol

  • If they took two years to fix their own crap, what hope do we have of seeing kit kat anytime soon.

  • Yay verizon. You did something that makes sense twice this month. Gave people more data without higher prices and a widget that is a real widget and not simply a shortcut.

      • Im just bitter. I sent a link to a site where a pic was taken using the Lg G3 and way to use chromecast with show box to watch movies with that and nothing. But if Moto X has a speaker change its articles everywhere.

        End Rant

        • make your own blog then, I’m sure Droidlife and other sites get tons of tips so one can’t really expect for them to catch and publish an article on every tip they receive.

          *edit* also, moto x screen is amoled, it can’t have light bleed.

  • I have unlimited and now Verizon has sent me an email that they will take away my 20% discount if I don’t give it up. Just another way they want to screw you

  • Is there a way to check my monthly usage? I can’t seem to find this feature in the app.

    • Nope. It just tallies your ongoing usage. For monthly totals, login to your account on their web site.

  • doesn’t work for galaxy nexus, oh wait, I have unlimited data hahahahahahahahah

    • My GNex contract runs out in 2 weeks, anticipating annoying calls from verizon to change plans or update my contract to switch me off.

      • Mine’s up in six weeks. Same day my baby is due. Not sure what I’m more excited for: first child or getting rid of this P.O.S. phone.

          • Ha. Was initially excited for the Moto X, but I don’t want to be locked into an already dated device like I mistakenly did with the GNex. Gonna have to read the hands-on reviews of the new One and S5. I’m sure it’ll be one of those at this point.

          • Oops forgot.. Congratulations on your first child 🙂 .. I have the S4 .. My choice would be HTC M8.. and not the S5

          • Thanks! Just curious – why would you choose the M8 over the S5? I agree that it’s definitely more aesthetically pleasing, but that’s not a huge concern of mine. Is TouchWiz as horrible as I think it will be? If so, HTC might be the one for me.

          • S5 is not much of an upgrade even from SIII… If you are willing to wait, see what LG G3 has to offer.. HTC M8 kooks interesting to me anyways… They have finally a micro sd slot.. and front speakers 😛

      • Probably, but that’s what happens around this time of year. Waiting for things to come out.

    • Funny how they can update their crap, I mean stuff but slack on the OS updates……namely the Note 3!! I’m just saying…….
