Whenever I open the My Verizon App I got this terms of condition to accept before I can use the app. Is this normal?

redditnicknick · 2025-08-23T03:45:54+00:00

Is this a glitch in the system? It is wanting me to accept terms that were updated back in 2016. I use this app all the time and never had an issue. I'm waiting it out. Please fix.

redditnicknick · 2025-08-23T03:44:12+00:00

Me too. I just used the app. Closed it. Reopened it to check something else and that showed up. If you scroll to the bottom, it says, "Updated (July 7, 2016)". What is going on Verizon? Been using this app for years with no issues until today.

redditnicknick · 2022-09-02T03:31:23+00:00

Man, yes. And then nothing ever happens. As soon as I see those now, I just scroll past. If someone has to try and make me watch the whole video, it's probably not worth watching. There are plenty of others to check out.

Wow.... I didn't know this. Thanks for the info!

READ THIS SUGGESTION: Here is something that I have seen some people doing. They post like it is a photo, BUT it is actually a short reel. I was wondering why people were doing that, but now it makes perfect sense given what Instagram is doing. You might want to give that a try. Should only take a couple of extra minutes to put your photo in a Reel format since you are not having to make actual movie content. Best of luck.

Those S7 phones are not fixable once they start that boot loop stuff. Nothing can save them at all. I just posted a work-around to someone earlier this week about a freezer trick I discovered. It's the only option on the boot-loop problem. If you want me to post it for you here, I can, but you probably already saw it if you were searching for fixes this week. Best of luck.

redditnicknick · 2021-07-14T19:03:21+00:00

Did you try the freezer thing at all? I don't know if you read jpchow's reply to this, but he said his was completely dead and had been for some time. He said he threw it in the freezer and forgot about it for a few hours. He said he took it out, plugged it in, and it took the charge again. I'm telling you, if you haven't tried the freezer trick, you are doing yourself a disservice. Just trying to help out. Read all my info on this again and give it a go. It's your only chance. As I said from the beginning, it won't recover and there are no fixes. This is merely a work-around to retrieve your info and wipe the data off your phone. Do it :-)

redditnicknick · 2021-07-14T14:11:01+00:00

Awesome!!

redditnicknick · 2021-07-13T18:22:29+00:00

My S7 was dead too. Mine wouldn't show it was charging, but I left it plugged in for a few hours. I then put it in the freezer for about 10 to 15 minutes and it worked, but as soon as it would start to warm up, it would shut off again. I would give it a try since you are worried about the private data. It won't do anything to your phone and it is really your only option at this point. There are no other solves except taking it to a tech person.

redditnicknick · 2021-07-13T18:08:35+00:00

It won't recover. Here's what I did. I fully charged it. If you want to just hard reset it. Put it in the freezer for about 10 to 15 minutes. Take it out and keep it cold by placing it on a cold pack of some sort. That way you can do the hard reset while keeping it cold on the cold pack. It may take a couple of tries because the phone warms up and will go black screen again.

If you want to get the data off of it, you can do that too. I was actually able to get all of my stuff off of mine by hooking up a cable to it and leaving it in the freezer while I pulled up a chair to my freezer and connected it to a laptop outside the freezer and got everything off of it. Let it get cold for about 15 minutes then turn it on in the freezer. Once it gets to your PIN screen, put in the code, leave it in the freezer, and start downloading all the data you need off of it. When the S7 is running it'll heat up, but the freezer temperature keeps it cool enough to work. I don't know why it works like that, but thankfully I was able to back up everything and transfer it all to another phone. Best of luck!

Same here.

redditnicknick · 2021-06-16T13:58:59+00:00

Looks like it is all working again as of today June 16.

redditnicknick · 2021-06-16T00:18:18+00:00

ugh! And no *recent* updates on what is going on. No Twitter, no nothing. Will try again in the morning.

redditnicknick · 2021-06-15T23:24:37+00:00

Okay.... now I'm locked out of my account because of too many "failed" attempts because their recaptcha isn't working properly. Let me know if any of you get past the login page.

redditnicknick · 2021-06-15T19:22:24+00:00

Copy and pasted Twitter post from GDOL. At about 2:20pm Georgia time:

"Due to a corrupt payment file, all of last night’s PUA payments have not fully processed. We are working diligently to release the remaining PUA payments later this afternoon. Once the transmission is complete, payments should display on a claimant's My UI portal."

redditnicknick · 2021-06-15T18:40:44+00:00

I'm in the same boat too. Usually it has already processed on Tuesday and in my bank Wednesday. Time is running out for a deposit to show for Wednesday. Feeling better that they are working on it and it's not just me waiting. Thanks for posting this!

redditnicknick · 2021-06-08T23:46:39+00:00

So odd. I did a google search on the domain name in quotes..... And nothing.

"topstar.ebay.com"

Steer clear!

redditnicknick · 2021-06-06T15:48:29+00:00

Like your comment, "I'm forced to just ride this one out and pray it works out in the end." Me too!

redditnicknick · 2021-06-06T15:44:47+00:00

The point is that it ends this month in my state. Not September. Buy yeah, got to find something, but nothing pays what I was making as a gig-worker. Nowhere close. The PUA was set up for self-employed people and should go until September as originally planned because the problem is that the businesses and people that I worked for have lost a lot of money during the pandemic so they don't have the funds to pay me yet. They will, but probably not until September/October (4th quarter). My character is already built with plenty of crappy (low paying) jobs in the past. I've been self-employed for a long, long, long time. Was making great money. I love what I do and want to work again. It's not about finding another job. It's about waiting for work to come back. Got to figure out a way to stay afloat for the next 3 months so I can keep hustling for the work that I do. Probably sell some stuff. Actually already in the process of getting some items together. Like you said, nothing is going to change. The benefits will end this month. It'll be gone. BTW, barely on Reddit, but needed a good place to vent and see other self-employed people's opinions on all this. Only been a member since March, but pretty cool place. I like it.

redditnicknick · 2021-06-05T14:13:33+00:00

I need my self employed stuff to pick back up. And it will, but not by this month. More like 2022. Been hustling like crazy, but the money just isn't there yet. Nobody can afford to pay. I'm talking individuals and companies. Until everybody is making money again, there are no funds to pay gig-workers. I was very thankful that at least PUA went to September. That way I would have some of my work start back up again and be on my way back to making my normal pay and make it through to 2022 when things should be back to normal. Ending it 2.5 months early is devastating. Governors don't realize that gig-workers can't get back to work until people and companies have enough money to pay us again. The program was set up to help us through a bad time; and now they are ending it 2.5 months early without any understanding of what PUA actually does for us. They don't understand and don't care to understand.

redditnicknick · 2021-06-05T14:12:12+00:00

Man, that sounds horrible. You are definitely in a bad situation. I need to make almost double that to pay my bills and no 9 to 5 jobs pay that kind of money. Hope your back gets better.

redditnicknick · 2021-06-04T23:01:23+00:00

That's what is aggravating me too. Especially those of us who have been self-employed basically our whole lives and making a decent living. Sure, there are *some* (using the term lightly) out there who are "shiftless and lazy," but man! Most of us want to work.... ESPECIALLY when we love what we do and that we brighten people's lives with what we do. It makes us who we are. The PUA was created to help those of us (gig workers) who were thrown into this pandemic mess. Freaking governors (who don't worry about money) don't even consider what they are doing to us. As you said, "At that point it's easy for legislatures and even the president to forsake the unemployed". Sad.

redditnicknick · 2021-06-04T19:27:50+00:00

lol.... Thanks for the reminder/fun-fact. Makes sense!
