Yep, she is finally jumping ship from MetroPCS to Verzion! But, guess what phone she is getting? The Nexus, lol. Just ordered it this morning, should be here next week sometime. We still get the extended return period, which now it is practically a regular period since the 15th is only 2 1/2 weeks away. But, I got it discounted, early upgrade for my Xoom. I literally called and said "I would like to see about doing an early upgrade since I no longer had my Xoom. The rep didn't even hesitate, didn't have to transfer, didn't have to talk to anyone else, just did it. So, we will see if she likes it, otherwise I will pay the $35 and she is getting the Rezound also. She isn't a nerd like us, so anything above her 4 year old Metro PCS POS is going to impress her.
Nice. My GF loves her Nexus but always asks to take pictures with my phone instead haha
not being a nerd like us is why i worry that the nexus was the worse choice of the two....idk, it feels like it's a lot more to get accustomed to, whereas sense is very straightforward, ya know? either way, she'll dig it!
I think if she knew 1 UI or another it might be confusing, but to her it is going to be like getting a brand new car upgraded from a pinto, lol.
Are you seeing my wife? I thought she was the only one left driving a Pinto for a phone. LG something or another flip phone.

haha very true, hope she digs it! psh, she could've gotten a pink-buttoned rezound, though lol
Verizon has been really great about people upgrading early. One reason is that their locking us in for another two and 2. They dont want us to jump ship Lol.

Well, I took her to the store to play with all of the phones several times. Most things she liked were not spec things, but rather some miscellaneous features. Plus, she knows we can take it back.

Ah well, can't have everything, I "convinced" my girlfirend to get a Rezound and she loves it, she's even letting me ROM it up until my replacement Rezound (mine was unlockable). I bet she trys to get you to trade

What are the real chances of getting root on our 3vo's before the end of the 30 days... or ever?
I know the developers are totally awesome - but after all this time I think they should know if it's going to be possible or not.
Am I wrong?
Any comments agrabren, Zone23, RVDigital, Leoisright,xHausx?
Like, will it happen by an accidental breakthrough?
Any Voters?
We'll get it, just not in the 30-day return window.

I guarantee it will have root.
give it time, only been out 2 weeks
I am 100% confident this phone will be s-off, eventually.
100% of that confidence is in the talent of the geniuses here, 0% in HTC making good on their word. Sure, HTC will do something I just wonder if it will be this year, next year.. maybe 2013.. Not holding my breath on that.

Agreed. Root isn't gonna come through the traditional approaches, because this phone is designed differently than the phones that came before it, so we're gonna have to change our way of thinking and methods of attack, but no system is bulletproof, especially a new (i.e., unproven) system.

Thanks,
It's all the different methods that are still not working, to give permanent root, that get me worried- I hope to see it p-rooted by tomorrow, attack harder!

If no systems are bullet proof, that means that every Android phone that has been released with an encrypted bootloader has been cracked? I was under the impression that phones that have been out for over a year now like the Droid X, have yet to be completely unlocked. Perhaps I'm wrong.
highly unlikely that HTC will release unlocked bootloader in the 30 day time period.
I think our devs can do it in under 30 days, but we'll have to wait and see. Of all the HTC phones, I think we have the best group of devs. I'm sure they'll get it done. Just don't know how long it will take. Maybe 20 days, maybe 45, who knows?
I think the rumor of a 2.3.4 update coming soon carrying an unlocked bootloader is just that, a rumor (both that it's coming soon, and that it will carry an unlocked bootloader). I hope to be proven wrong x 2, but I'm not going to lose sleep waiting up...
It took a long time on the EVO Shift, so I will not ever give up hope.
I'm just going to say in the next five days. That would be cool.

I was reading on the EVO forums and the new GB OTA locks down the phone! They said not to use OTA on the EVO.
So it's odd that anyone still thinks HTC will unlock the 3VO.

I think HTC will unlock the phone, as will our devs (probably first). Brought back the E3D due to a slew of tiny problems and the radios sucking hard. But i wasn't going to wait around. I went back to my E4G, but had the itch to get a new phone. So I traded in the E4G for the NS4G. It has radios slightly better than the E3D and if I get "stuck" with it I know I won't be locked into stock experience...and this thing kicks the E4G's ass...OC'd to 1.4gHz it rates as twice as fast as a stock E4G...
So if the E3D is unlocked in 30 days or the SGS2 is released I'll get one of them, if not i got the best buy buy-back program on my side....I always figured it was a ripoff but you get 50% of your original purchase price in 6 months--when the NexusPrime will be coming out...so that's $350 trade up value. A small price to pay.
Also the battery life on the NS4G is effing fantastic. slaughters both the E3D and E4G--even modded to the gills.
So, in summation, I feel confidant that I'll be rocking an E3D again in the next 30 days...or SGS2....but I'll certainly have a Nprime (1280x720 cellphone!??), and that thing won't have concerns for 'will it be cracked?'

Oh yeah? People said the same about the PS3 & we waited what? 5 years for that to finally get cracked? Not saying that it can't or won't get root but there are no guarantees & it being new or unproven has nothing to do with it. They didn't spend the time & money to come up with a new system just for ****s & giggles.

I've been pondering doing the same thing. Never have to friggen worry about a nexus being locked down. I'm starting to think that if I want to mod my phone and flash roms and kernels, then maybe it would be beneficial for me to just stick to the nexus line. If half the rumors of the nexus prime are true, then that damn thing may be worth waiting for. Htc has left a sour taste in my mouth by locking this thing down so tight. Not even worth the bs, if modding your phone is what you're interested in.

Yup. That's what hooked me, and even though this phone has near 'feature parity' with th E4G it replaced it is _so_ much more refined. It is the Android experience that Google sees as "standard" for this generation of phones. Even with the bull**** stock launcher on a stock rom everything is so effing smooth. _Everything_, I have never seen Android run so lag free and I have my E4G oc'd to 1190, tried every kernel, locked home app in memory, tweaked every setting everywhere...Yes, it's even smoother than the E3D...even with the same launcher...It is Google's absolute definition of what this generation of Android should look and feel like. Oh, and the camera destroys E4G and E3D...sure, no 720p video, but, the WVGA video is perfectly smooth and the audio isn't sickening like the 4G...and while a bit grainy it stays just as smooth in lower light conditions.
I know, it doesn't make sense...512mb ram, 1ghz...slightly better than average GPU....but...damn....and the battery life is fantastic. Also, sAMOLED might not be accurate color, but it's dead sexy color. Getting s-off took one command over ADB. I had CM7 up in under 10 minutes...including download time.
I'm a very happy camper...I think I'm going to stick to my plan and keep this until Nprime comes along, trade this in and keep on sticking with the Nexus line. Unless the E3D is unlocked in the next 30 days in which case I'll grab that and use that to trade up to the Nprime.

Yeah but hacking on the PS3 didn't start with him. He can say what he wants about how easy it was, but people had been trying since it's release with no success. Granted he found the way, but last time I checked, he wasn't a member of TeamWin or any other Android affiliated group.
This is a development community for the Rezound, not the VZW Warranty Replacement department. The phone has been out 3 freaking days! Quit whining and moaning that you can't do this and you can't do that. If you NEEDED your backups so bad you should have waited until it was posted across the board we had real root. Things will come together, sorry you don't have your convenient tools yet. You wanted to jump on the bandwagon, deal with it until your conveniences are restored. It isn't that difficult to spend a little time restoring everything manually. I did it, and I am sure many others did so too.
Stop crying for a couple weeks, and lets let the Dev's not be discourage by this phone, being that is all you are really doing by stating, "I can't root yet! I am switching to the Nexus!" Stop the bull****.
Agreed. Chances are you bought it in the last few days and you have until sometime in January to switch due to a temporary verizon policy change. Just cool it for the time being.
I believe that only applied to phones bought 15th-29th.

Anyways, CyanogenMod said CM9 is due out in ~2months. I didn't see what devices, but I am assuming this will be one to get it quick. About that same time frame ICS should be coming, MIUI goes hand in hand with CM, Big things happening! Not to mention this phone is a pretty big powerhouse without modifying it.
YEAH u make a good point LOL. Ahh cm9 would be great. I'm a MIUI Linda guy tho. No offense to any who are already Herr but I hope we can get the DEVs we need to port things over such as CM and such. I'm very curious if we get on that list. That would be huge for our Forum

i love this phone; yeah there's a couple quirks, but who cares, the phone performs outstandingly and gets the same battery performance, if not better, than my incredible got. that to me is awesome. it's fast, looks damn good, has an amazing screen, and the camera is GORGEOUS. what's NOT to like?
The screen is the biggest slap in the face to iPhone owners! lol, bigger AND better! Crushed another of their reasons why they think Apple products are godsend! I can't keep my hands off this phone, I am still learning Sense too!
Yeah the screen is Incredible. My wifes wants to ditch sprint altogether now and get one herself. Looks like I'm headed back to Verizon.

wait, don't you already have it if you have a rezound?
Not all bad, except you won't have unlimited data. But, just like I stated in the X2 forums a while back, it is all a strategy to make money. They went tiered because they knew they would still draw customers, they have the better network, and now they offer double the data on a faster network with better phones. Eventually we will work our way back to unlimited, or damn near unlimited. Albeit might be more expensive, and there may still be plans under the unlimited plan.
Look like I got across to everyone This is going to be a GREAT community! Nowhere near the bickering of the X2 forum!
SOOO over the last few weeks I had a few issues with my TBolt, called verizon and got it RMA'd. New phone was working fine until I realized the headphone jack wasnt working. Called them up today and in a NICE tone said,
"I have been having a lot of issues with this phone - and its not so much swapping the phone thats an inconvenience, but migrating all my data, etc. Is their any way I can get a different phone?" She said, "that sounds reasonable - let me check." (hold music)
"Yes sir, we can offer you the Bionic free of charge"
I said "Thats really nice of you - but I am very partial to the HTC phones and their interface, I had an incredible, now a tbolt and would like another HTC phone."
She said - "What phone would you like"
I said "how about the Rezound?"
She hesitated and told me it was too new, and I said - well I would like an HTC phone thats AS good if not better. (more hold music)
She said, "Ok we can do the rezound"
She overnighted me the phone, and i should have it tomorrow.

All I can say is try try again. Its all in the person you talk to. And the most important part is - take your time and be nice. Ask them how their day is, and wait for an answer. It sounds stupid, but do what every other customer dosnt do, and realize your talking to a person on the other end of the line.. While your waiting for them to look up your account info, ask them if they are having a busy day.. That sorta sh!t goes far.

this is actually a quiet fact. Ive had them do this 3 times. They key is to continue to have problems with whatever phone you have and have all those problems happen fairly close together (within 3-4 months) and then do exactly as he did.. be nice. Why be mean? people dont respond to meanness.. be nice BUT stern "yes.. thats nice.. BUT i like HTC phones.. BUT ... etc". You might have to go through 2 or 3 transfers but youll get it.
the last time I did it, the rep was being.. difficult. I sat there with him, brainstorming ways i could get a new phone. and i had an 'ahha' moment.
If I was a new customer, I could get the Dinc for 99 right?
yes
and my early termination fee is only 135?
yes
so I could cancel my plan and and the 99 + 135 is still less than if I had to by a new phone outright
hmm.. yes.
okay ill do that!
"can you hold?"..........I can get you that Dinc for the 99 upgrade price, and there is a 99$ main in rebate on that making the phone 0 once you main in that rebate"
2 days later, new phone
they will do this every time all the time. .day in and day out. you just need to know how to pillow talk them.
I know they have notes on our accounts and could look and see that you have done this like 4 times in the last 2 years.. but they wont and in the 12 years ive had verizon, i have NEVER had a rep know anything about what I did even as little as a few days before. Its always as If ive never called.
good luck!
and GRATS on your rezound!!!!!! Im so happy, this phone is awesome possum
just to put in my input...this just happened to me as well. free rezound coming up!
my thunderbolt was acting up again and it was my third time RMA'ing in the span of 5 months. they said the only equal phones were the charge, revolution, and even the bionic. so i said hm....how bout the rezound?
he said "let me check.....(hold music)....ok sure!"
my response: "free of charge?"
his: "free of charge"
*violent fist pumping and hip thrusting*
I dont know what it is but for some reason I just REALLY want this phone right now. I have to admit when the gs3 was first announced I thought it was the ugliest thing out there. Lately its been growing on me and I just want it very badly right now. I probably seen every unboxing/review video of it in youtube and I constantly check for updates on what the situation on this phone is. What makes matters worst is that i pre ordered this phone on Verizon so i have to wait longer then everyone else to get it. Im just hoping for a stroke of luck that some how The verizon model gets shipped out before the 9th. Anyways am I the only one like this?
i think the hype for this phone has been just so much a lot of people are feeling the same way...
im actually about to return my HTC Evo 4G LTE (which is an AWESOME phone), for putting in my pre-order for the sgs3
the removable, larger batter and the 2 GBs of RAM really have me pumped, plus a lot of cool extra features, gesture controls, etc make this a super exciting phone...

Exactly! lol and i think what sold me the most on this phone is the fact that the battery is gonna be way better then my galaxy nexus so i dont have to worry about it dying all the time. Also all of the other features are just amazing.

lol noooo you're not the only one. I've watched almost every video on youtube.. over and over and over again and finally someone shared a video of the Canadian version which is the same as the U.S. one which I will be getting on June 21st from tmobile I am too too excited! imma have to pay 600 somethin for it.. grrrr
hahaha same, im stalking this phone like a bieber fan.
Yea you're alone. I'm coming from an Evo 4G, and there have been some decent replacements, like the nexus, galaxy S II, but I've been stalking this phone since it was first annouced back before march. I'm with Sprint, so I'll have mine next week. You can live vicariously through us.
Waiting on a pre-order is worse than simply waiting for release in my opinion, since the money is already gone from my account, but no phone in hand. Reading about how much the international people are enjoying theirs already makes it even harder.
You are not alone. I am also very excited for the S3!!! Then again I have an X2 so really any phone is looking good to me right about now lol!
I'm pretty blown away by the specs of the S3 and if I don't have to pay full price for it, I'll probably get it. Does anyone know if I would still have to pay full retail price for the S3 if I upgrade my contract before the 28th and lock in another 2 years unlimited data?? On Verizion, obviously...

I am glad I am not the only one who feels this way. I think Samsung should start doing their press release events the day before release because making us wait this long is simply unfair. I am secretly hoping that my carrier will call me today and say 'we got a stack of phones in early, would you like to pick yours up early?' LOL. Seriously, I know once I have the phone a while the novelty will wear off a bit but I want it now. And its not like my SGS2 is not a good enough phone or won't hold me over for another year. Do we need help or are just simply victims of marketing?? haha
And now it looks like the Canadian release date has been increased another week to the 27th.
I can't wait either cuz I'm not rooting this evolte since its temp so I want my permanent gs3 yeah buddy.
I thought I was the only one... I thought this was the ugliest phone, but it some how has grown on me, a lot, like I haven't been this bad since the first iPhone came out (everyone was going crazy about it)... and the fact that I haven't seen any U.S variants is driving me nuts...
Lol same here, I almost bought the international version a few days ago to use on AT&T. *Patient running on low*
Im watchin youtube videos of the s3 on my evo lte drooling over the s3 lol

Currently waiting for my S3 from Verizon also and going crazy but over the last couple days it seems that I'm phasing it out more and more. I was going crazy at first and now I'm just like whatever when it comes it comes especially with no solid release date, I've heard so many 6/28, 7/9, 7/10 all I know is that its pre ordered and I'll be in the first batch of shipments whenever it happens.
This is not just a phone - Galaxy Nexus

Just a phone dude. And like all android phones that get rooted, you never find it perfect because you keep flashing and flashing until some other phone comes out and you feel the need tio get rid of the one you have.
I'm on here like 100+ times a day among every other site that I can find info. I even went and did a recon on a T-Mobile store to find the best tactical advantage for me to get my phone first. Crazy!

Watch the review videos by phonedog the gs3 looks amazing.
At first glance I fell in love with this device. Its sleek, has an amazing screen, beautiful design and very fast. Also has a okay camera (prefer my s3 way more). So whats not to love? Well after 9 days and mixing it up between devices my G now has a dead pixel, shuts off and is sluggish. I have no idea why because the phone has never been dropped or exposed to any kid of water. So needless to say I called AT&T and because I am within my 14 day period they are exchanging it even for a New Titanium Galaxy Note 2. Really wish it worked out, loved the phone. So you can catch me me back in the sammy forums for now, still might get another OG.

In most cases the issues of one does not represent the issues of many. Nevertheless, enjoy your Note II.
Cool story bro. Thanks for letting us know. Have a nice day.
No matter how good of quality a device is known for... there is always a bad batch that comes off the assembly line.
This applies to cars, phones, electronics, any consumer product...
I think that in this case, you are one of the unlucky few who got on one from the crap stack.

Just looking at the OP's "devices" in his sig makes me think he isn't happy with many many many devices...
Why people feel compelled to post these kind of posts is beyond me. You know what? No one really cares that you traded your phone.
Good for you. Enjoy.

Anyone that has used an iphone is never satisfied, hence why the iphone 5 was lower than the s3 and OG on the consumer reports (LGOG was number 1 in case you were wondering)

I don't think you should.
He had a freak occurrence defective device.
So he exchanged it.
I think that is rash, but his choice.
Impacts us in no way.
It is a shame he didn't get to appreciate the true OG.

In now way am I bashing or downing the OG. I would have gladly accepted another G in return. As a matter of fact I miss having it, I thought it was a great phone. BUT when I called AT&T and they offered a new Titanium Note 2 as the replacement why would I decline it. Especially if it dsent cost me anything. Like saying " I'm sorry sir that your new Honda Accord is a lemon, would you like this new Corvette for the replacement". Who is going to say no. Not only that but I wanted the note 2, havent had one before. And for the smartass who said " look at all his devices" If you had know that a majority of the android phones were bought and donated to the developers of those devices and that I am sorry I can afford to get the new phones when they come out. Get off my nuts bro dont be jeleous.

Definitely not "jeleous" about your English vocabulary.
Have fun in the Samsung forums with your ohsoridiculous amount of money. Hope you find less things to complain about with the Note 2 instead of making pointless posts on their subforum as well.
So they replaced a $100 contract phone with a $300 contract phone? Also, not jealous about the devices you have and have had as well as on your nuts about it, as it was a simple statement, that was a nervous assumption on your own, because you're in a corner defending yourself. I'm having fun feeding you as well, due to you being an obvious troll since you've provided nothing informative by making this topic.
Ye best start believin' in troll threads... Yer in one.

I have the Note 2 and the OG and I have to say the Note 2 is not as nice as the OG.
Only plus side is that it will have much more development support.
LG Optimus G E971
I just sold it, that's it I got tired of waiting for the devs's this phone is top, but will never get support because of LG stupid way of handling advertisements.
They make the phone and its like they don't want to sell it. Stupid LG will never buy form them.

That's why I still have my SGS2. I get to flash like crazy when I get the itch, plus, have an awesome backup in case something happens to this.
