Its impossible. I just bought a phone from a 5 star seller. The phone turned out to be not paid off. Was told by T-mobile the guy still owes money on it. They dont check for that on Swappa. I guess its impossible to check easily with an IMEI if a phone is still beiing leased or paid for. So i got burned. Swappa has no safeguards for that, and you only get refund through Paypal, not Swappa after a thorough investigation of all sides. Major cluster-F. These sites have become usuless essentially. There are no guarantees, and they dont even punish or ban the bad sellers who do that. So the guy will probably be selling again to another sucker in the future. swappa needs to do better when the bad sellers are caught doing bad stuff.

So as others have mentioned, the "official" ruling even on their website is its only if YOU challenge. BUT...this Leader card really sucks as printed. This card absolutely needs to be "buffed". There are 14 challenge cards out of 115 in deck. Thats 12% of the deck. And not even all challenge will involve you. So how often will this leader ability really come into play with its ability helping you? VERY RARELY. Here is how I play it: "When YOU ARE INVOLVED in a challenge, +2 to your roll. Modifier cards cannot be used by either player in that challenge". That is a great buff, but doesn't "break" the card. It's just better, but not broken. Remember...its still just 14 challenge cards, and they may not even be by or against you.

By the way...i do similar buff with Cloaked Sage leader. I play it as "when ANYONE plays a magic card, you draw". Because there are even less magic cards in deck than challenges. 13 Magic cards. With 13 in deck, you your probability of getting in your hand is very low. Cloaked Sage sucks if it only applies to YOU playing Magic cards.

HUGE point here, mentioned in article but super important. The battle doesn't really "transform" . It is CAST for free. So that white Phyrexian creature that only lets you "cast 1 non-phyrexian spell per turn" wrecked me when my opp had it on the battlefield. I played a spell to reach my battle....hit it and brought it to zero, and almost cried when I realized that Arena would not let me play the transformed battle! Because that was the 2nd spell that turn. You actually CAST it...i thought it just magically transforms or whatever. I did it twice in one game until i understood what was happening when i read the rules text very carefully of how that thing "tranforms" (cough, cough ..CAST!!). Huge thing to know when it comes to battle cards.

You are a wonderful person. Great tip.

I currently have the FIOS O.N.T. box in my basement. Out of that ONT comes an ethernet cable, and that plugs directly into my router.

So no verizon modem needed...but Verizon ONT box plus router needed for my internet.

Thanks! as my update says in another post, I got a TP link router, and now things are fine. I also did reboot of ONT down in my basement. Maybe it was both things combined, but i tend to think the ASUS router was the problem. Sad to give up the ASUS, but TP-link seems pretty good , even if more flimsy and less feature rich.

Final update. Thanks for everyone chiming in. This past weekend, after another night of a bunch of dropped connections, i bought TP Link router. So i set it up on Sat morning....and it seems OK, but drops about 30 minutes after install. I am ready to flip out and now I know its a Verizon FIOS issue now. I call tech support, and they look at what they can from their end. They see a lot of weird things in their logs. The guy asks me to unplug ONT in basement, and plug back in. He says he will call back in 24 hrs and see what happened and try and pinpoint any errors with the new TP link router. 24 hrs later (and now 3 days later) ....no drops from the TP link.

So cannot say for sure what fixed it. Was it the TP link router playing nicer with FIOS connection? Did the tech guy work some magic? Did the reboot of ONT in basement, fix something? Not sure. Maybe a little of all 3 combined. Still a mystery!

My understanding is that when they came out and switched me from 50 to 200 mbps, they actually did change out the ONT box on outside of house. It almost seems like since then we had issues of occasional drops , with even my existing G1100 verizon router. Thats one reason i boiught the new one. But the drops seemed to go into overdrive with the new router.

I had seem videos online about MOCA spliter and such, but i have no FIOS TV...only the internet, so it didnt seem relevant to me.

So the weird thing is that 1) connection works , 2) i can hit speeds of over 300 mpbs (even though i signed up for 200!) ....so i know it "works". It just getting disconnected over and over when new router is attached.

Thanks for giving your thoughts! appreciated!. Im leaving the original router in again for a few days and see if it drops. Hasnt dropped once since i put in the G1100 last night.

Yes, i still have the G1100. I put that back in last night, and no drops. But i tend to think its not the ASUS that is broken/defective, but something about the way FIOS reacts to the new router. A setting or something that isn't right. Thats why I was curious about other ASUS users on here. For now, i wil continue using the old router. I will try and swap out ASUS for another router this weekend, and give D-link a try.

The ethernet is CAT-6 and new, and from what i can tell is fine. No tears or damage i can see. Since no drops since putting in old router last night, im pretty sure its not the ethernet cable itself.

Thanks for your 2 cents though!

Follow up, that solves a small bit of the mystery but not most of it. I realize i have the Xbox 360 disc as well "DOA5 ultimate". That most have been where i saw most of the characters? But i could have sworn even the Xbox one verison did it was as well. I know my Xbox one disc doesnt say "Ultimate" on it( like the 360 version disc did) ...but it doesnt say Core either. There is no way that buying an Xbox one disc from gamestop for $20, would be the version that only gives you 4 characters right? That is ridiculous. I must be missing something.

Follow up: DR2000 post below has the steps for a workaround that worked for me. It's convoluted, multi-step, but it worked. Ridiculous that's what it takes. Shame on Apple for such a half baked product. God help the older person who doesnt know about reddit and just tries to set this up on their own.

Wow. This worked. YOu helped save Christmas for my daughter! Thanks! What a convoluted process, but it works. I think you are right, that the logout from Icloud is the key step. If not for your post here, i was going to return the device.

Same issue here. You're not alone. Homepod mini fiasco sure put a cloud over my kids Christmas. We already had a main Homepod in our living room, and her present was the mini for her bedroom. Just tried setting up this morning. Set up is finished, and it then it says configuring. Never changes status. It can play music, but cannot play custom playlists, I'm assuming because it doesnt actually recognize the entire icloud account? So for $100 its a timer...can tell the weather, and can play music as long as its not a playlist. Awesome. Sounds like i'll have to return it sadly. Homepod mini should look like a lump of coal, instead of a snowball. How could Apple have screwed this up so badly? (PS. Main homepod in our family room cannot even recognize her voice. Never could from day one. It recognizes her as her sister instead (and they dont really sound all that similar. Also had major problems setting up the first Homepod when we got it. It could not recognize my Iphone Xr. Was impossible to set up until I used my ipad Pro, which it did recognize. Same OS...same network on both devices. Just could not detect an Xr, but did with the Ipad Pro. MAJOR problems with entire Homepod line. AVOID).

I'm curious. What are your three phone models being used? Wonder if they are all newer than ours (Xr, 7, 7, 6s).

OK, i think i found the issue as i messed around with it. I believe its an issue with the start and end FRAME NUMBER. For instance if you right click on the clip and it shows that the clip in question you have starts at 10,400 and ends at 11,000, thats what i put into the fields for my export information when i exported it. But apparently thats wrong. It looks like if its a clip, it expect you to start at 1. So in this example, i put start frame as 1 and end frame as 600 (11000-10400= 600) . So in other words, you are exporting 600 frames worth of info...but you are starting at frame 1 (not frame 10400!). With those settings, it exported the right part. You might also have to fiddle with the audio settings as well, and make sure those match the exact settings of the original clip you had.

Any update on this? I just posted on here as well...with same issue on an Windows 10 box. (also same OpenShot 2.5.1). You ever figure this out?

Same issue here! Running OS 2.5.1 on Windows 10 machine. I import an Mp4 file , trim it, then try and export. It saves the file (ive saved it both as mp4 and MoV). It will open the file...but it's a black screen. The runtime is correct...but it will run the entire time as black screen with no audio.

It's incredible Verizon still does not have this in DC-Metro area. I have the FIOS Quantum router, that apparently handles ipv6. And it says it's "enabled" on my router settings. But when I go to the ipv6 website, it says its not active. Hasn't IPV6 been out forever now? And hasn't even FIOS had a page about it for years? (Yes...it has: https://www.verizon.com/support/residential/internet/getting-started/learn-about-ipv6)

​

My Xbox One network screen keeps on telling me to get with Ipv6 to make for smoother connection and multiplayer. Why is such a leading edge tech company like Verizon, still not implementing IPV6 in major markets?! Im curious...does ANYONE have it yet through Verizon? If so, what geographic area are you in?
