Comment on Verizon’s new Samsung 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot by Steve

I have had the same issues. I got it a few months ago. It would loose signal but even more irritating was the unit just shutting off completely. Many phone calls to verizon later, they sent me a new one. Then it didn’t shut off, but did loose signal and just freezes up. Many more phone calls later, after having tried many things they suggested, like removing the battery and sim card and restarting, they eventually sent me a new sim card. Many more phone calls later and they want me to buy a $200 some dallor devise that boosts the signal. I am told that if the device does not see 4G, it then goes to 3G, which when it does, seems to work ok, slower, but does not freeze up. I am also told that they are not allowed to help us do the manual over ride to set it to 3G when 4G is acting up. So basically, you are stuck paying every month, for something that does not always work. They tell me, “Well look at your bill, you see, you used this many Gigs last month, and this many before that, so it must be working”. But its like this, you can get to work with your car every day, and every one can see your car in the parking lot, and you at your desk. But if you had to get out and push the fucking car a couple of blocks ever once in a while because it kept shutting off, you wouldn’t be too fucking happy. But hey, whats the problem, your at work, and your car got you there (sort of) right? I don’t blame the actual customer care people who are as polite as they can be, literally, they get rated by follow up calls asking if we had good service, so they do what they can, but they can’t do anything except try to be as nice as they can so they don’t get a bad review. Some where up the chain of comand, someone needs to have the chain wrapped around their neck and dragged around a bit until they say uncle. Fix the fucking problem, or stop selling crap. They must figure it a bit like Micro Soft, sell it and fix the bugs as we go. Patches, firmware updates, what ever you call it, most people can’t run a business that way, At least at Wallmart, if it doesn’t work, you just bring it back. Here, 2year contract, gotcha sucker! So typing this right at the moment, is a bit like looking out the window at my car in the parking lot, its there all right. yep.

Mines been doing the same thing…. in fact I can’t get it to stay on while charging. I think it shuts down while it charges to prevent damage. It heats up when its on and charging it seems

Comment on I Love My Verizon MiFi by Onecv

MiFi is a scam!!!I just called and cancelled my service. I strongly believe that the performance issues are being intentionally caused by Verizon. They have a threshold assigned to each user and one you reach it they will disconnect you. Now here is the issue, I tried to watch a movie on Netflix and it took me 3 days because of all the disconnects; however even the dead, unusable downloads and disconnects counts against my threshold. What a scam.
Oh well I will give my $60/month ($720/year) to somebody else.

I’d bring it back, especially if it’s under the return period. I really didn’t like the Samsung model. The Novatel LTE one works much better. It’s the way to go.

Hi. I just followed your instructions to visit the SCH IP page and change the Power configuration to “none.” So far, it doesn’t seem to have made a difference. I’m about ready to smash this thing with a hammer. I hit “Apply” and the status choice (“none”) seems to have been set. . . but the damn thing is still shutting off every 3-5 minutes while fully charged.

Yeah, the support is lacking. A lot. What I’ve found is that you need to get in the control panel and make sure that you switch the sleep option off. That helps. Secondly, what I’ve found that it runs into a lot of trouble when you’re moving around and it has to switch between networks from LTE to 3G and back. It tends to stall a lot then.

I returned the Samsung for the LTE Novatel MiFi. The Novatel version is much better.

I have the auto-shut down problem. It works for a while, then if I haven’t used it in a while it starts nodding off. Support from Verizon is non-existent. Samsung, after jumping through a bunch of hoops asked for a bunch of info I don’t have. Essentially I feel like driving my truck over it.

Hey Alan - Good to see you here! As you can tell, I do not write much, but sometimes I have a thought or two that need a place to live. I think you're right about the harassment, and does not seem scary. The systems are in place on the government and consumers must have control (as opposed to Facebook, ...). In the end itself, consumers need to feel they get value out of it. Not that they would put up with intrusive or scary, but if it is relevant and something they care about, I guess many will be OK with it Kamagra Kamagra
