My Samsung odyssey ativ windows 8 phone has stopped being able to send or receive picture messages. Any one have suggestions to fix this problem?
We're on the case, Cdtrob! I want to ensure you're able to freely text friends and family. When did this issue begin? Are other services such as SMS and data working? Do you receive any type of error code? YosefT_VZWFollow us on Twitter @VZWSupport
I have the same phone. I don't like it much. I am getting ready to make a decision about whether or not I stick with Verizon. The phone looks nice. (I am not a big touchphone guy) I could log a list of things phone SHOULD do and doesn't. Should means that things that it says it can do. My phone does not shoot usable video, neither could the "replacement" phone they sent me after I complained about that. Is it possible that I got 2 dud phones that eff up the video the exact same way on both??? Also, into the LSD-trip like Microsoft's latest major league dropped ball. .....8...... This is a windows phone and the only thing it does as far as linking up the phone to the computer is asks you if you want to download the pictures off of the phone. It does take a decent photo, and it has a flash. It doesn't hookup the one note app, which I have on both the computer and the phone. If I had dictation in there, I wouldn't be able to get it out.
The most recent problem is that VZNavigator doesn't work...period. I hit the button, it tries to start, then flips back the the start screen. My Verizon also does that. I can use Maps and it works. I used it in place of Navigator yesterday. We are talking about the Samsung Odyssey ativ, Windows 8, and Windows phone.
Does Verizon/Samsung/Microsoft intend on doing something about this? My current setup has cost me money and time. I am sitting here writing this because I don't have the same level of service as I had before, but it's costing me MORE money!
I just want something that works. I paid for all this junk you sold me (software included), and I need it to pay for itself by serving me in some way. It's cute... I expected a Beast from Microsoft, and now Vista's son was just born in Windows 8/ Windows Phone.
BMK9, I regret to see that you aren't enjoying your new phone, and even more sad that you're considering leaving VZW because of it. What exactly is happening when you try to shoot a video? Also, when connecting to your computer, what other information are you trying to transfer? For VZ Navigator & My Verizon, I'm not showing these as known issues. Make sure your GPS settings are turned on in Settings. Also reboot if you haven't already.MarquiaF_VZWFollow us on Twitter @VZWSupport
Ok. Well, your info must be incorrect MarquiaF. It has been 5 months now and I have sent this piece of junk phone back twice. Second and Third phone same problem. WILL NOT SHOOT VIDEO! I'll rephrase that, It will shoot the video, but when I play it back, whether on the computer or the phone, it skips on the video and sound, freezes up etc. Three phones? Also, the VZ navigator doesn't have voice activation on it. (I just spent an hour and 20 minutes on the phone with your technical support and he came to the same conclusion that I did) I had a phone 3 years ago that had voice activation on the navigator. The only solution that I can be happy about would be the replacement of this phone with a comparable phone made by another manufacturer than Samsung. Gosh! I guess you have a spy in your midst deleting all the complaints about the worst phone I have ever owned. Ironically, I am paying more now than I ever have for cellular, and I am getting the crappiest service I have ever gotten. I am finished with spending 1 and 2 hours at a time trying to get a problem fixed that is technically your problem! This has collectively added up to about 10--12 hours of me talking to someone from Verizon who means well, but I walk away with a crappy phone that doesn't do what it says it does. Fraud is the first word that comes to mind. I charge my customers 50.00 an hour for my time when I am working. Is Verizon prepared to give me a new phone to compensate me for my wasted time dealing with this crap? (That's 500.00 of my time spent trying to solve YOUR problem, instead of using this phone to make my life easier.)
Can you get me a new phone or not?
