So, what are the people who have no ability to change their data plan supposed to do about this? I have a business line, provided by my employer, which I have no control over. Therefore, the "unsubscribe" solution is unacceptable. I have done the "turn off messages" solution, but this is still a problem for me. I am also experiencing the "phone lighting up" issue, which is claimed to be a seperate issue to the "Daily Scoop" issue, but this is untrue. 9 times out of 10 when I'm getting the ghost backlighting and turn on the screen, it's either on the Daily Scoop initialization page (which does nothing, since I don't have a data plan and therefore NEVER subscribed) or on the Browse and Download page.
I agree with every post saying this is unacceptable. Basically, verizon is telling everyone to try something, and when it doesn't work, then deal to with it. There needs to be a complete solution, preferably in the form of a software update (removing Daily Scoop from the phone in the form of a software update would be best case scenario). The solutions offered so far have not only been unacceptable, but just plain don't work or will never work with some customer's situations.
**Edit**
Forgot to mention, another side effect of this issue is the fact that it will interupt any alarms that are going off, just to try and initialize Daily Scoop. It's a big inconvience and very frusterating, considering that I don't use this application and cannot remove / disable it.
