[Q] No Contract HTC DNA - HTC Droid DNA

I was wondering if I were to purchase the HTC DNA for retail pricing to keep my unlimited data plan. Would the bootloader be unlocked on the retail version of this phone?
Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanks

Where can I buy HTC DNA in NYC or LA?

whats up guys?
next week I will arrive to NY and later to LA.
Is there a store that I can order online or local store that I can get Unlocked HTC DNA?
I found this one
http://shopamerica.htc.com/cell-phones/shop.htm?tNav=4
605 USD with shipping , But I saw this
"You currently want a prepaid phone and plan and do not want to sign up to a contract for a particular length of time."
What is it mean?
Thanks Alot!
Try Verizon stores or BestBuy.
You can also try radio shack or wallmart

I spoke with the Verizon's customer service
I ask them about buying the DNA, and if I can put a T-Mobile for example.
Basiclly that told me that the phone is just for Verizon, even the one without a contract.
Matty: That's the same phone, at full retail price. The only difference between that and the cheaper one, is that there would not be a contract attached. The only phone we have that is unlocked is the iphone 5.
You: so why should I buy it on the full retail price if its not unlocked?
Matty: That would be for someone who did not want a contract.
You: but he still have to stay Verizon?
You: can he put T-Mobile sim?
Matty: Correct, it'd only work on verizon
Still cant find a place that sells unlocked one

ALL droid dna's are factory unlocked. That guy was lying to you.
I can put a t mobile SIM in my DNA that I got from a vzw corporate store on contract and it works.

[Q] Verizon Droid DNA Activation

Hi,
i am planning to buy the Verizon Droid DNA without contract from Amazon wireless and planning to use it overseas(Singapore).
i know the phone is GSM unlocked and i can literally use it with any GSM network and that gave me a confidence to buy it,
Do i really need to activate the phone with Verizon?
regards
Krishna

If you are getting it without contract you do not need to activate through VZW

Returned my One DEV and ordered a T-Mobile version

Hello guys,
The Straight Talk service on my HTC One DEV had been decreased significantly since I reactivated it last month. Enough 0.16Mps download speed for me, so I decided to return the Dev version (due to some minor physical imperfections) and got a T-Mobile version.
As I read on the forum, the T-Mobile version of the One has all the bands that AT&T version doesn't. With military discount, I pay roughly 60 bucks per month for unlimited everything (only 15 bucks more from what I pay with Straight Talk). So this is a good deal for me.
Hopefully I have made a right choice

I'm thinking of grabbing the T-Mo version (I use T-Mo when roaming in the USA) if no one can figure out how to enable the AWS bands on my unit (like we could with Samsung)

it will be able to once the carriers make sim unlocking available. at&t and t-mobile are compatible, while sprint version isn't.

Samsung Galaxy S4 developer edition confirmed for Verizon and AT&T!

Figured most people here would appreciate this news.
http://phandroid.com/2013/05/23/galaxy-s4-developer-edition/
Could be a good alternative for us on Verizon considering we don't get the "google experience" model.
Cool.
yep. Waiting for the Ports
Def. getting this. With cm10.1 I can make it a nexus experience while keeping it on a better network
I almost bought the gs4 (full price to keep unlimited data) at best buy today. I wonder how long we'll have to wait for developer edition for vzw? Where we would buy it? How much would it cost? Who would handle warranty and insurance?

Still no 32 for VZW. There might be 1gb more storage with this version, but likely no Verizon support since a dev version. I would rather root a stock VZW version and have warranty support with a 32 model.

It should still have the same warranty as it is still a Verizon phone.

My understanding is there is no warranty for unlocked phones. This has changed?
My job pays for my phones, otherwise I would jump at something like this. I hate all the crap Verizon forces on every phone we buy.

Last I heard if you buy the dev edition and unlock it, you void the warranty. I also seem to recall that you can't go to a Verizon store for warranty work, it has to go directly to Samsung.
Will having a developer edition help us with the "normal" verision? Like, for instance, will it make it easier to understand how to unlock the normal edition, etc?
Should we all just return our devices and wait for the dev edition?...
I also wonder if the developer model will come free of vzw bloat? If so I might not even need to unlock it... at least not right away. Unfortunately it prolly will come with samsung stuff I hate like talk back?

The bootloader on the dev edition ships unlocked, that is why they call it a developer edition. With no Verizon bloatware.

Yes it runs touchwiz still, and you can insure the phone through verizon too.
But we will have to purchase the phone directly from Samsung? Do they have repair facilities for warranty work in USA?

Yes and Yes. remember verizon's insurance is through asurion. I heard squaretrade was a good alternative

The only is if you have any software issues you would have to go thru Samsung, since Verizon has not inserted any of their special "lock down, and bloat" sauce into the phone. Any physical damage, you will need to go thru any of the insurance vendors you sign up with.
Will it cost a lot more?

Most likely $650 retail, you are buying an unlocked phone directly from the manufacturer, not from Verizon on a subsidized price.

[Q] Total NOOB questions

I have the xt912 M and used the root instructions and was successful! (YAY Thanks ALL!!!) I am trying to use this phone with another carrier than verizon, What should I do from here? Will rooting phone be enough or do I need a custom ROM before I can do this? I LOVE my phone and do not want to buy a different one if I don't have to. Sorry if these are stupid questions but today is my 1st attempt at cracking my phone open.
So which carrier do you want to flash your Spyder to?

Carrier unlock is not possible for Droid Razr.
Though you can use it on GSM carriers but not in the US.
