Ok so we have had many threads about our fears form verizon and what they will do to this beautiful machine. So i decided to start a thread and hopefully collect all of our questions to the dare devils who pre ordered , so when they get the phone they can perhaps better answer our questions. SO thank you in advance to any one who can contribute, whether it be more questions , or answers when the time comes !

1-Does it have the nagging wifi and gps icons ?
2-can we still have the ability to disable ANY app we want , as in other versions of note 3 , innately and not using any root method ?
3-can we surf and talk on 3g ?
4-can we simultaneously use bluetooth and aux ? phone calls routed to bluetooth when a call comes while auxiliary is plugged in ?
5- feature of moving app to sd still there , or disabled ?
6-anyway to disable 4g without root ?
7-Will Verizon cover the wireless charging ports like they did on the note 2?

the point of all these questions is whether we can deal with the phone stock, if god forbid , root is never realized , then we gotta love it the way its made.

Sometimes its hard to test all these functions in store, so the help is much obliged

any one else want another question answered , pm me, and i will edit the post and try to add the answers if new owners are kind enough to tell us !

The question really is why wouldn't they. It said in another thread they'll have the wireless back plate s view cover. I just went into a Verizon store and the rep said they would have both variants, the regular s view and wireless backplate

On the note 2 sprint and Verizon covered them up. I see sprint did not cover them up on the note 3. Hoping Verizon does not either

What I'm saying is why would verizon sell the s view cover wireless backplate if they aren't going to cover them up

I think you're confused... What they're trying to say by stating that the contacts were covered up on the note 2 is that they were inaccessible without modifying the phone physically.

$100? Someone @ Verizon has been sniffing glue again.

Any would you want to disable 4g?

1- to save battery in low 4 g signal areas
2- to ensure data limit is not reached in 1 day
3-to have consistency of signal while traveling across 3g and 4g spots , since we dont know how this phone will handle 3g to 4g and vice versa

If they're covered up, the wireless charging stuff won't work.... What don't you get about that? There's nothing you can buy to make wireless charging work with the contacts covered up except maybe a dremmel tool...

Verizon may have screwed me. I worked out details about getting N3 this weekend, a few months ahead of upgrade date, but barely within REAL 20 month window... as of Saturday was supposed to have been pending shipment. Called today to get tracking info and rep said order was never placed. I'm *IRATE*. Have been a VZW customer since 1996, willing to shell out $300 for a phone & renew for another 2 years,

The chances of me getting the N3 on launch day are now between slim and zero. Any VZW employees on here wanna be a hero and take up my cause? It would seem I was straight-up lied to.

--UPDATE-- 10/8
After another two phone calls and a lot of .... sticking to my guns... I now have an order confirmation # and am expecting the phone either Friday or Monday. So not launch day, but okay.

So here are some answers. I have yet to test the buzzing sound with pandora. Not sure if its a daily driver without root yet .

Oh I have unlimited plan and I used the innate tether and it did let me tether, using foxfi just turned on the innate tether too. I am not sure what the ramifications will be yet , anyone ?
