Yes please.

those red bars really do drive people nuts..woo watch out lol i did do something about it i tried every carrier to get away from it, talk to everyone else, if you could only see POWER VISION and i got a free blade. you cant stop people from hatin on it because its just that awful. wait this is not my thread... someone else is upset..lol Ha Ha

You're out of your delusional mind if you think people give a crap about the UI. I'd say it's limited to a few douches on this forum. I've taken 50-65 calls per day for a year now and I've never heard a single comment or complaint about it. That means I've taken more calls concerning Push-To-Talk than complaints about the UI, and that's saying a lot. It's a complete non-issue. But if it gets you to leave VZW, and eventually this Verizon board, I'm thrilled that it matters to you.

It's a complete non-issue. That's why every day on this forum there are at least three new threads started about the UI - either how much people despise it, or how to get rid of it and change it to something else.

That's a complete non-issue? Perhaps in your own little world...

I agree I read this site everyday and left verizon because of their childish UI. It’s not for advanced users. But I guess verizon doesn't have very many advanced users. Give it some more time people will start to notice and the hate trend will even grow stronger. The UI sucks anyone who doesn’t understand this is an idiot.

The problem is that the UI is geared for the "massess" not guys/girls in this forum...Most of us are advanced users or at least people who won't have trouble learning a new UI. 9/10 people probably couldn't tell you what UI stands for, let alone tell you whether or not they give a chit about VZN's latest move. THE MASSESS DONT CARE, but we do, and trust me, this website and this forum is not a great representation of the average cell user. So if people are complaining here, that doesn't mean that people all across this country are complaining.

Chris

It also doesn't mean that everybody likes it either.

well duh? But my point is that there are not enough people that are complaining to verizon. If 10% dont like the UI, thats not enought to get rid of it. And how many of you have lodged a formal complaint to verizon??? You complain about the UI, but have you really done anything to change it? My guess is no, if you want Verizon to take action, then YOU need to take action.

What you say is only partially true from my perspective. This is only one message board there are plenty of other boards with the same ant...

And that is why I fear the worst for VZW - their own employees are abandoning them. You are not the first employee to mention that you personally use a different service after having owned a VZW phone.

I've spoken with over 11,000 customers in the last year, and again not a single inquiry, complaint or even a hint of disappointment in the UI from a single one of them. If you don't like it, drop the service. There's just nothing else to be said about it. If a million or so people all the sudden drop VZW for ANY given reason, VZW will listen. But I assure you there's just not than many people that give a crap about it.

VZW will be the number one carrier in the U.S. by the end of this year. A standard UI makes sense for CS reasons. If a few people who post on a forum don't like it, I assure you that's not even close to a reason for VZW to consider dumping it.

Whine about all you want, it's here to stay, and VZW will STILL punk ev...

Personally, I hate the UI and I've told a number of reps...politely, of course. A few took issue which would lead me to believe they were far too emotionally attached to their jobs or they heard constructive criticism about the UI one too many times for them to handle. It's an issue among other issues that will prevent me from renewing my contract with Verizon in the near future upon successful completion of my contract (which is the only reason I haven't left already...and they never can seem to handle a contract amendment properly). What concerns this customer even more is that you, presumably a Verizon rep by your own admission, would refer to even one of your customers as "douches". Say that to my face and I'll make sure you get fire...

No, I haven't COME to you guys partially because of it.

And no worries, out of all the carriers in my area, I chose Sprint because they are the best here. Better phones, non-crippled BT, faster data speeds, and so on, NEVER a dropped call in 5 years. I could go on but I wouldn't want to make you upset!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!

(Isn't that what a lot of exclamation points means?)

By the way, I used to work for VZW, so I got to carry my Sprint phone (still in contract at the time), and VZW side by side. Sprint was better by far.

Wow, if you don't like the forum or don't have anything constructive, ever thought of NOT POSTING? Don't get hurt feelings over it, just my opinion.

ROTFLMAO 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 most of them really hate the ui Really really bad they just team together cause they are so so so pissed off about it ... .CHEERS just like crippled obex doesnt matter 🙄 🙄 🙄

I honestly believe that you are some teenage kid just on here trying to cause trouble!!! Honestly, we are all very glad that you are happy with whatever service you choose and yep really liking your ph. is important. ALL carriers work different for different ppl now please stop trolling our forms and go do your homework.

im far from a kid guy, and i am done with this forum. i just really enjoy cell phones alot and love learning new thing about it. i have had a tough time recently with verizon and that is why ive asked for input in every forum about all carriers. yes im a hyper spastic guy but im not tryin to cause trouble im just so stoked for my new service and phone. and verizon is very lame for doing what they do and i feel the need to pop off about it. ive had verizon for years and all their crippling and ui has drove me bananas. im happy now and thats all there is to it. the 3 year contract letter on got in the mail on friday just freak me out. peace

For starters, I'm a 23 year old father and husband, far from a child. Been in the cellular industry for 5 years now. But good effort to try and stray from the original thread post. 😉

Just trying to cause trouble? I posted to get opinions, see if other people thought differently than me. Then, I got a lot of "enough about the ui already!!!!!!!!!!" nonsense. Not a response, but more of a CHILDISH pout, don't you think? 🙄

Kinda like the pot calling the kettle black...

Guess I'll have to spend more time in the other forums to get intelligent conversation and feedback about phones and carriers.

Huh.......My response clearly fell under armysf's post not yours I was obviously responding to him not you!!!! Sorry you got your panty's in bunch about something that was never even directed towards you!!! And yes Armysf is very much a troll
So if that offends you oh well 🙄

1) People who do not share your opionion are not nessisarily trolls.

2) It's great that you don't care that you pissed someone off, you'd make a great VZW employee.

3) Maybe if the UI didn't suck you wouldn't hear so much flak about it.

1. If you have spent any time in the forums you would clearly see armysf is a troll.

2.I don't care if humdizzle is pissed because my original reply was never directed towards him but to armysf

3. If you don't like the UI SWITCH Carriers!

4. If you do not now how to spell a word do not use it! "nessisarily"

If you don't like a post don't read it.

It doesn't matter if you directed your anger at someone else, saying you don't care proves you don't belong dealing with the public.

I did switch carriers. I still have to deal with VZW, unfortunately.

Oh, and I am sorry I am not a dictonary like you are.

So crawl back into your cave, and let the rest of us use this forum for what it was intended.

🤣 Thanks for your input, I'll take it into consideration. Ahhh..a second thought.... STFU 🤣

Don't you have customers to screw over? 🤣

and you can see the 3 year contract thing is real so i would hardly call that trolling. yea

i have noticed in the past that a lot of you who hate the new UI are the same ones who ask a new "how do I ?" question every week. the ones who hate it the most need it the most.

The ones that start the threads, perhaps.

People who have been around know that you can't get VZW to budge - they will tell you what you want, and they tell you you're going to like it, too.

The UI is just another instance of this same mentality.

True. I personally don't mind the red bars either. I think it adds some character to the screen! As far as having the same UI on all the phones and people switching carriers because of it or saying things like "why get a new phone, they are all clones because of the UI", and things like that, I just don't get it. So what if they all have the same UI? I don't get a new phone for the UI, I get it for the looks of the phone (such as color, size, antenna/intenna, etc. etc. etc.). Yeah, when all the phones had their own UI and you first got a new phone it was fun to play around with the UI, customize things, set your banner, add your wallpaper, etc. etc. and check out all the options of the new UI, once you set everything the way you wanted...

Noted and filed for future referance.

what movie is that from?

🤣

It's G14 classified just be hapy

when could consumers expect these changes to take place? They sound great! and I had a feeling that verizon would update the UI sometime in 2006. I'm looking forward to the changes, thanks for the info Vzw_bit
