I can't take this BS anymore with Motorola and this phone. Does anyone know what phone is the best to switch to that does not have a locked bootloader? I'm going to buy whatever it is outright. Want to switch to 4G before they try to cut off my unlimited data.Thanks guys!

Almost every 4G phone that isn't Motorola made is unlocked...I'd go with the Galaxy Nexus or HTC Rezound. The Galaxy Note might be unlocked but don't quote me on that.

Yeah, that's what I'm finding online. My only concern is I know nothing about HTC but I've heard that the hardware is not as good as moto's. You know anything about that?
Pisses me off! If they would just unlock the damn bootloader this phone would be the ****. ............and if I wasn't trying to grandfather myself into unlimited data 4G.

I ran an HTC TP2 before this X2 and it was a solid phone
I'd have no reservations going back to HTC

Nah ...I don't know much about HTC's hardware outside of the One series and the Rezound. The Resound is a tad bulky but rivals the One X screen quality department; that says a **** ton.

Crap! Looking around their forums and it looks like they're being lied to about getting ics too. I may have gotten out of the frying pan and into the fire. At least they say it has a partial unlocked bootloader. Oh, and apparently HTC is totally different from Motorola, now I gotta learn all new lingo and crap (like s-on and s-off, whatever the hell that means). Ugh!
Sent from my MB870 using Xparent Cyan Tapatalk 2
Some, not all of HTC devices have locked bootloader and won't take OTA updates if you unlock it. People usually find a way to reload original (RUU vs. SBF) but all the baggage from the HTC sense stuff is a interference in the kernels and making custom ROMs. Also with HTCs financial woes, they have been pretty bad about updating devices recently, tending much more toward development for the next bright shiny object.
Its not hard with an HTC. Just unlock the boot loader on. HTC Dev, then get S-Off, then flash all you want while it looks a little hard, its VERY simple!
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA
Certainly easier on HTC than the impossible MOTO. Of course when you do the HTC dev unlock, they inform you that you have voided your warranty, if you care about that, and they do require device specific information to do the unlock.
I think its worth it, but other people may rather have warrenties over control on their device

Or what?
number 1, once you unlock your warranty is void...and they know it
.number 2 what would you do if something, like anything happened, you'd be out more money for full retail, or pay for an ebay"decent" equivalent.
Number 3 run fastboot much?
This phone and Droid 3, & Incredible 2 are basically ****ed.
Or are they?
As far as quality of hardware and product, Motorola has it all over the cheap plastic phones imo...wait till it scratches, wait till ya feel the heat of the battery cause they have no heat expansion in plastic, like an aluminum, kevlar blah blah phone that had a locked boot loader does.
Enjoy your new device, and see ya!

I've just been reading up the Charge forums. So far, my impressions were not that of rude behavior though.
Nevertheless, there was a thread on an ICS ROM where it mentions
"For the haters: http://kan.gd/1e1t :-O"
So, I guess there are some rude whiners over there, at the least.
I've been having issues with network here in Scarborough Maine. At first Verizon was quick to help but after 2-3 months of trying to get them to fix it its like they are trying to ignore me. Also, this is after 2 replacement phones. So today I called back and they said my network ticket had been.....RESOLVED??!! Hmm this is the first I heard of it and obviously not since I'm still having speed issues. So I got transferred to tech support and they offered to give me a different model. She said no iPhone (I laughed and said that's fine I hate apple junk) and no 4G phones (dammit). So she gave me two phones that she "recommends" a Casio commander and an HTC rhyme....WTF!!?? So I kinda giggled and said I don't think those will work for ME. So I guess I'm allowed any current 3G phone on their website, I want suggestions from you guys annnnnd go!

great phone. single core but has a really good dev community. has more ram too, if im not mistaken. also has REALLY stable ics roms like cm9, aokp, miui, a sense 4 rom, paranoid, geeze theres alot of roms!
They gave me a Dinc2 and I love it. Just be aware the newer software on the phones are making it more dificult to downgrade to get s off. Which gives you perm root. When they downgrade with the newer software version sense roms bootloop. People are working on it and it is ongoing. AOSP roms will work fine like CM7 and CM9 or any aosp ICS rom.
jesus, verizon put up a helluva fight but after fighting with them tooth and nail for over 45 minutes, I am now the proud owner of a droid incredible 2. My time in the droid x 2 forums has been great everybody here has been extremely helpful in any issues or questions I've had. And as for the developers, thank you so very much for making this phone at all usable and enjoyable. Of course I will still be browsing through these forums because my roommate has the x2 but my time here has come to an end. moving on to bigger and better things!!! See you all on the flip side, actually, who am I kidding I will still be on these damn x2 forums everyday lol

well..... the rezound doesnt have any of those roms. We dont have a stable CM9 or AOKP. there are some but they are REALLY alpha (like no talk, texting, wifi, 3g/4g, etc) it pretty much boots. Although, there are some good roms. the one im running is Desensed, meaning there is less sense but its still there.

Youch. Not sure if the X2 could be considered to be better. At least, not from my experience!
Music on the X2 is awful. It constantly skipped and the 512mb of memory just doesn't cut it. If you're not using it for music, it's not bad, but as an MP3 player, wow. Poor, poor design.
But, if it's doing better than the resound, all the more power to yah! There are plenty of helpful people here with a lot of knowledge.
Enjoy!

I have a Vivid, a friend of mine on Verizon has a Droid Bionic. Been having some issues with it and obviously it's a Motorola so it's locked down. He asked if I'd recommend the rezound. From what I've seen the rezound doesn't have ics yet and I imagine it'll be the same terrible sense infested 3.6 pos that's on my phone. My real question is, does s-off require a wire trick and are there any cm builds for it? Based on my phone imo I can't recommend because development wise its kind of a dead end.

Same s-off wire trick, same pos sense 3.6 tho you can get sense 4 roms. No CM yet... Almost there but not yet.
That's an advantage over the vivid definitely as sense 4 isn't possible due to ril restrictions imposed by at&t. Still sounds just like the vivid though as not being the most developer friendly

Yeah nowhere near the development of the nexus or anything but it's not too too bad
The Rezound certainly has been a ruff road to follow development wise. It is an awesome device with stellar specs. The one downfall is the device is still waiting on full AOSP support. Apparently though one of our developers did have a break through the other night with getting LTE data working. So hopefully it won't be very long yet as he is just basically working out one final bug before he releases his work to the community.
One thing is for sure, the Rezound has awesome radio support, so signal wise its pretty much the best out there. Atleast in my opinion.

Cool I sent him a link to this thread. Definetly sounds like the Rezound isn't as locked down as my vivid.
So I doubt my friend would be willing to do the wire trick, as I haven't done it on my Vivid, however I know on the Vivid you can get by fine with s-on, you just gotta flash boot.img through fastboot before you flash a rom in recovery. Same ordeal pretty much? I'm guessing so, internally our phones our identical aside from the radios and the rezound being clocked 300mhs faster. They are both HTC sensations at their core lol

Not even in the same league. He needs to make the swap before they change their mind!
And the wire trick, not as bad as it sounds. I must admit my hands were shaking while I was doing it and it must have taken my about 15 tries before I got the timing right. lol

Wire Trick Shakes: [n] That awful feeling you get when s-off'ing your phone. This feeling includes shaking, clammy palms, and getting really hot.

Yeah I've left my vivid s on mainly because the screw with a sticker that says void. Honestly for the Vivid its not necessary unless you haven't gotten an ota yet, but it does make flashing more convenient as I pretty much have to get on my PC to flash roms.

Tell him to get it man. Like it was said before, the rezound is way above league then the bionic. Both the Rez and Nexus have their strong points, overall most people agree that the rezounds strong point is hardware, and the nexus is software. Though ill tell you that Newts Sense 4 is amazing, and I have been using it since his original release, it only keeps getting better.
And if chad can pull off a lock on 4g, with Aosp, the rezound will only be arguably the best phone on Verizon.

Well he talked to another rep and got a nexus but oh well. Still nice chatting with the community for the Vivid's Verizon cousin
Seems like a nice community here, thanks everyone for your input

So I went into Verizon today to cancel a line, so I had to do some device swapping. I got a new sim card for my S4 and when the phone booted up and showed Samsung with the unlock symbol and saying unlocked under it. The rep goes oh that's cool does that mean you have a pass code on it?? I'm like yes yes it does lol. You would think they would know what that screen means. Lol

Oh man I love doing stuff like this. I remember when I had custom boot animations on HTC rezound and they were like showing to all the employees like check this out etc etc lol good times man good times. That is def a classic one though!!

Some of them are inept. Others like the guy I go to knows about all the custom roms, and unlocking, and helps me skirt by some rules.

Back before I ditched my iPhone I went around to every at&t store bragging about my jailbreak and/or new beta firmware. It was all good fun haha
Yea my buddy works for Verizon, and he does all kinds of Flashing. He has to make it sound like he doesn't know what all of that means. If he let the Verizon store know that he knew about it, and let customers slide, then he would be in trouble. It may be the same in your case.
Wait....yours still shows the unlocked logo? Mine doesn't and my phone is rooted/custom recovery / cm10. It showed it to me once while I was rooting it...but not after that.
Every ROM I use shows the Samsung unlocked screen. I've used hyperdrive and beans

Same happened when I was with sprint. I was getting my old nexus fixed and when he rebooted it he told me not to root but said he wouldn't tell the manager. He saw the boot up for cm haha

They JUST got them. They just let you use their stupid third party Google wallet app. Plus they are supposedly more reliable for storing contracts on but I've never seen anyone actually put information on their sim card. Seems silly.
TL DR they are real but also real useless imo

I have a stock rooted S4 I got as a replacement from asurion, for a S3, it's on ME7, I have not activated it. Just thoughts from the community, I am a long time aosp user, anti touch jizz since fascinate days. Should I keep the s4 and bear with it on rooted stock or send it back and get another S3?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk
Put nova launcher lol.
It's much better device however I will patiently wait for few months then hopefully bootloader will be unlocked.
you can try to exchange it (or sell it and buy) for a mdk s4

Why wouldn't they? People buy the one. It's just an htc one with a note 3ish size screen and larger battery + sd card slot finally. I just want reliable and fast 4g again, something I can't have with my s4.
Edit: just read some reviews on the one max. Disappointing. Now I really don't know what I'm going to do for a phone. Maybe back to my rez.

What condition is your S4 in?
Does anyone honestly believe a unlock method is being worked on?

mint condition. Never dropped. No scratches. Kind of undecided what to do with it now. The only thing keeping me on the s4 is 5in screen and battery life. Was definitely getting rid of it before I read the one max review, now I'm not sure what to do

Yeah, first you gotta figure out if you selling or keeping.
I honestly don't see any reason for any other phone at the moment. If I can get it unlocked I'm straight for a year or more.

Yeah I know. Your best bet may be a dev edition. I really don't think an unlocked bootloader is coming unless samsung leaves a door open for someone to get into in a future update.

Yeah I don't know that One design just doesn't scale well. I mean look at a One compared to a Moto X, it's a joke. They have the same screen size but the Moto X is almost the same size as an iPhone while the One is bigger than our phone. So the BoomSound speakers plus the 5.9" screen means it massive. It only has a Snapdragon 600 after all these devices are coming out with the 800. It loses OIS, which ruins the whole point of their "UltraPixels" with the larger light aperture, in favor of a fingerprint reader which so far hasn't been reviewed very well. Apple integrated the reader into the experience of the iPhone by putting it right on the home button, the One Max makes the same mistake as the Motorola Atrix. Furthermore, it doesn't even retain the best part of the One design, the unibody aluminum shell. It features a plastic ring around the phone like our S4 as well as an apparently spotty removable back that doesn't even feature a removable battery. Very disappointed in the One Max.
