Really application your efforts. Keep it up!
I have posted several mentions/articles about this situation on my Facebook and frankly nobody gives a flip.
The thing that really gets my gut is that if iphones were stuck in customs they country would erupt.

Start a facebook movement. Most lay people know nothing about what's going on...
Make a facebook/google + page and spread them out! We have to make people aware of Apple's bullying other companies.

Don't forget that apple's products states "designed in California" when actually their engineering HQ is in Nevada. That slimeball move was to avoid California state taxes. They also outsource all their work to foreign countries and pay them in slave wages just like Nike, robbing real Americans job opportunities.

Im Making a petition. WILL POST
How dare you kang the name of my ROM to use it for something completely different without first begging and/or giving me the proper credits. I AM REPORTING THIS THREAD TO THE PROPER CHANNELS.
its only standard freEVO
Here is the petition link. http://tinyurl.com/7m9y5fr
Signed the petition and shared it with my Facebook friends. I can only hope someone out there gives a damn!
Great work on getting the consumer's word out there! I'm not trying to be a troll (I too have pre-ordered the EVO LTE), but would it be possible to use correct grammar? I feel we need to be treated as grown ups, and with all the uncapitalized I's, misspellings; Apple or ITC will just to disregard us.
Other than that, petition signed. Keep up the fight, Androidians.

One thing that helped last time maintaining composure these people will piss you off some so much because they really will not give a crap stay focused on one thing writing what you say don't send repetitive things spam etc on fb although the spamming did take over htcs page lol
But we need to get everyday users to join in that means educating them to what we know .
Eg on htc fb yesterday people still asking when the evolte will drop they had no idea so getting a large following helps ..
Edit : it took 11 days start to finish to get htc to change its policy and 5 months to implementation of unlocking luckily its not that difficult in this case .

To the Apple Board of Directors and the Apple Community:
I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come.
I hereby resign as CEO of Apple. I would like to serve, if the Board sees fit, as Chairman of the Board, director and Apple employee.
As far as my successor goes, I strongly recommend that we execute our succession plan and name Tim Cook as CEO of Apple.
I believe Apple’s brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it. And I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role.
I have made some of the best friends of my life at Apple, and I thank you all for the many years of being able to work alongside you.

The tech industry will not be the same without him. Say what you will but the man knows what he's doing. I suspect if it wasn't for the owners themselves, I would own a Mac product. Either a MBP or a iPod but I digress. He changed the way consumers looked at smart phones and created a following that blindly followed, not trying to be mean here but giving credit where credit is due and plus you can say the same thing about Android.
I applaud all that he has done for the industry and I could care less what people think of me in this forums because half of the people here will say "YA OMGZ LIEK ANDRIOD ASOP IS ONE!!!11!"
With that said....

That's a bummer. Jobs has done a lot for the tech world. i'm sure he will still be involved obviously. Now time for Tim Cook to step up and handle the game.

Umm, this has everything to do with the EVO 3d because like I said in my first post on here if the iPhone didn't exist then these bad ass android phones wouldnt be as bad ass because the simple fact that all phone manufacturers and I mean all are always comparing themselves to the iphone. Like it or not but the cellphone world would be nothing without Steve Jobs.

Why We Troll
At the end of this post there is a comment form, where you can weigh in and tell me I am wrong. If you do that, however—even if you have a great point—you're probably a troll.
I know. You don't think you are a troll. You are simply assured of your righteousness. You're just demonstrating your case. And you're justifiably adamant about it.
Which is exactly what makes you a troll. (Hi!)
Look, there are two basic types of trolls. One is the person who says or does something simply to get a rise out of people, or to fulfill some horrible void in his or her soul. The kind of ****head who harasses women with breast cancer.
But that kind of troll is thankfully pretty uncommon—like the comic book villain who actually wants to destroy Earth. More common is the guy who thinks he's flying the flag for truth and justice, and, in the process, becomes a complete asshole. A misguided villain. Like Magneto.
Trolling is often no more than self-righteousness. It's something people do because they are convinced that everyone who disagrees with them is wrong; they feel so strongly about other people being wrong that they justify and justify and, in the process, transform into giant dicks.
Trolling is an inability to filter: an uncontrollable urge to say "you're wrong." You are wrong about Apple. You are wrong about Google. You are wrong about Microsoft, and HP and Android and Sony and everything else, too. And while we are at it, your grammar is atrocious.
"While it is certainly likely that some people in the world are simply mean, I think that more often than not, mean things get said or written by people who have strong beliefs that they think represent the truth," says Dr. Simon Rego, Director of Psychology Training at Montefiore Medical Center. "And they expect others in the world to agree with them.
"I'd bet the people you call ‘trolls' would have good intentions, and see themselves as good people who are simply trying to help the world see things the "correct" (i.e., their) way. I would also bet that they think that other people are the ones being trolls."
Simply put: When you leave that comment down below, about how I'm wrong and Dr. Rego's a hack and by the way that sculpture's clearly an ogre, it's not that you're trying to be a troll. It's that sometimes we just can't come to bed because someone is wrong on the Internet. We stay up all night, seething. Tweeting. Calling in expert testimony from academics to bolster opinions, and writing missives about how everyone else is trolling us.
Why does that sound so familiar?

This is just insane. Have a look at this: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/02/13/apple_us_ban_nexus/
Apple is coming off as a spoiled brat to me and it is getting really annoying. They get to sue Samsung for its alleged rip-off of features but when apple rips off android's notification system no one should sue them!!! Jackasses. :/
I wish Google sues them real big for the notifications rip off and teach apple to shut the f*&k up and go f*&k themselves!
Sent from tapatalk on my Droid X2
The patent system is broke. That's the REAL culprit here because it enables companies to make these ridiculous lawsuits.
I don't think Google would sue over the notifications because they understand that in this industry everybody is going to use a good idea when they see it. Success isn't just good ideas, it's who makes the best product with the idea. I wish Apple would just suck it up and get back to work like everyone else.
This is also really hypocritical of them. A long time ago, Steve Jobs attributed their success to the fact that they're not afraid to steal good ideas.
Also, the fact that they're targeting the Nexus's lockscreen, which is less like Apple's than most phones out there, proves that this is purely competitive, and less about protecting IP.
Those who can, do. Those who can't, sue.
Eh, it goes both ways. There's hardly a company in the mobile industry that doesn't have ongoing lawsuits against them and and started by them. It's just the way these things have been allowed to happen. Yep, ip law is very broken.

These corporations are really not all that worried about these law suits add you might think. For the most part, they continue on with business as usual... (from engineering and business standpoint)
Legally, these law suits are a political game. Apple has an unbelievable amount of money. They are trying to run the legal costs of these companies to run them out of business.
Apple sees a competitor who is actually doing better than them and they try and ban the phone. God, I hate Apple. So what are they suing over?
"Apple is fighting the Ice Cream Sandwich-loaded Nexus over four patents: predictive text; a data-tapper feature, which recognises data such as phone numbers and provides a link directly to the dialler, for example; a voice search feature that Apple believes is imitative of Siri; and the popular using-an-image-to-unlock feature."
This is ridiculous, Apple.
Ok suing for predictive text? Really? How is there's so different from all the other's?

Wow found this on a search of how Apple is Evil. This company never stops with it's lawsuit three file in less than a week. This time it's Kodak, what the hell does Kodak have to do with them? Is Apple this greedy or are they this desperate to prove something? All the parts maker should stop supplying this pathetic company with parts. The idiot fan boys just can't fathom that Samsung builds the components inside these apple pieces of crap. The best parts of these dumb phones is probably the Samsung parts. The idiots that run this company is just that idiots, following a God they name as the DEVIL JOBS. Maybe Jobs is the anti Christ remember they said he would be back and when he dies he will deceive the people with his charm and then Armageddon?
Jerk off of the year!
Breaking news:
Apple wants to file patent lawsuit against Kodak, fully aware that Kodak's bankrupt
This reminds me of an awesome quote from the Sitcom Scrubs (Edited to fit the scenario)
Apple: This Friday I am receiving an award from the AMA..
Dr. Cox (interrupting him): Jerk-off of the year.. no.. bastard of the year.. don't you tell me.. "Guy I despise so much I'd pay someone to kill you and stuff you and leave you by my bed so that when I wake up in the morning I gotto roll over and punch you in the face"... of the year.
in a nutshell, the whitehouse agrees that the DRM ruling was never intended to prevent owners from unlocking their phone. Though no official change has occurred, it's a step in the direction to reverse the initial ruling.

WRONG
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/the-white-house-replies-and-they-agree/
1: not ads
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/the-white-house-replies-and-they-agree/
2: I don't save history at ALL...don't have cookies enabled AT ALL
3: the stories shown on the side of the forums are updates AS THEY ARE POSTED ON THE PORTAL
4: most people don't pay attention to anything posted on the portal around here and because of that, there are always threads started with links to a story somewhere else that people could have seen the day before here on XDA if they were actually paying attention
5: AGAIN, those are NOT ADS......THOSE ARE STORIES FROM THE XDA PORTAL THAT ARE UPDATED AS THEY ARE POSTED. "geo-based"....lmfaoooo ....I love how many "experts" we have around here
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/the-white-house-replies-and-they-agree/
6: I'm running an AD BLOCKER and if you actually looked at the screen shot I've posted, you would have realized that.
7: THOSE ARE NOT ADS, THOSE ARE STORIES FROM THE XDA PORTAL AND AD BLOCKERS DO NOT MAKE THEM GO AWAY
8: The funny thing is that MODS are going to see this thread and laugh at everyone here who is trying to attack me for being "wrong". I'm not here to hold hand with morons and tell them they are right. The reason why most of you people think you know more than you do is because you have idiots following you around all day listening to your crap and they don't have the common sense to tell you that you're WRONG.
I don't have a problem with idiots....I just have a problem with idiots having an internet connection.
This thread is no longer worth my time. Have fun trying to convince yourselves that you can find a way to prove my first post wrong.
And just in case you idiots didn't see the link I've posted to the "ad" (I still can't believe you think those are ads) on the portal...here it is again:
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/the-white-house-replies-and-they-agree/
This STORY (not an ad) only has 16 comments. WHY? Because people don't even bother checking the portal for news and updates around here. Yet someone can post a link to the same content on a different site and people will go 5 pages deep in a thread around here. It just shows the problem XDA members have with actually using the sources on the site to find the information they need/want.
You people wonder why you have so many problems installing ROMS and finding things on XDA. You don't READ or pay attention to ANYTHING around here and this thread proves it. Go ahead, check my post history all you want. See how many post you find by me trying to get help with something around here. You will find that it hasn't happened much if at all because I actually READ AND PAY ATTENTION. You will also see that I never post anything that has already been posted on the portal because I READ AND PAY ATTENTION.
There's actually no need for this thread. As mentioned its in the portal. Also this law never really affected this device.... So it shouldn't be here anyways... Thread locked
Hello mods and fellow xdaers!
I have opened this thread for off topic discussion. We had similar threads in the Samsung skyrocket and note 2 forums.. I find that these types of threads really help the teamwork aspect of development by giving members an outlet to talk to each other without cluttering a development thread.

I am a new user to this device but hopefully will be assisting others in no time. My history speaks for itself lol.

I'll be updating this op once I get back to my pc but here are the rules of this thread:
1. No flaming bashing politics religion hate prejudice bad feelings nonsense allowed!
2. No instigating the XDA Moderators.
3. Mod Edit: Follow the Forum Rules and everything will be great...Enjoy
Just be nice.. say hello... Post silly memes... Be friends and learn stuff!

Hey, great idea. These threads are usually hanging out in every forum. I'm new to the phone as well. I usually hang out in the One XL and Grouper forums. It should be fun starting a community here and helping out. This phone is incredible.
I like the "Off-Topic" threads. You start seeing some of the same "regulars" on your device forum; and its a great way to chat about various things (not M8 related) and get to know each other better.

i agree. it's usually the regulars that start to hang out here. it's so weird going from samsung to htc though.
I'm used to seeing a familiar face or two when i switch devices but the only guy I'm familiar with here is faux from my inspire 4g days.
eventually all the heavy helpers and trolls end up here lol.

How did the picture i created for the Bacon thread end up here?
Truly bizarre!
And an Off Topic thread in the Off Topic section..the mind boggles! Does that make the thread itself, or the Off Topic section, on topic?

In case anyone cares... I just brewed my third batch of beer and am starting to get yet another hobby under my belt.
So far I've brewed an American light beer.. an Oktoberfest and the one I currently have bubbling away is a Hefeweizen. Very excited to try my next batch.
:beer:

I know a lot of people getting into the beer brewing thing. It's been getting more and more popular in the last few years. I've been thinking about making some myself. any beginner's hints?

yes. start small and be sure you enjoy the hobby. a lot if brewers may not agree but a cheap Mr beer kit is a really great way to get started. I'm into my first five gallon batch right now. joined a local beer brewing club to learn from others

Any PC Gamers here? The Steam summer sale is ongoing. New deals every day, with lots of games 50-75% off.
Call of Duty games are 50% off. Also picked up Tomb Raider (the 2013 release) for $10.

I'll definitely have to check it out. I'm a dual os steam gamer. See if I can find some good cross platform games cheap.

I'm sure you'll find some good ones. When they had their Christmas sale, I bought something like 8 games for $70. Given, I'm a parent of a young child, so I don't game as much as I would like; so catching up on games that are a year or 2 old (so they are cheap).
I posted a few videos from my DJI Phantom 2 Vision + if anyone wants to check them out (FPV with the M8 works flawlessly)
