China Scam...
I'm half suspicious you are the scammer responsible for that page, and you've only posted to get more hits, since I can't believe anyone with even an iota of critical thinking would need to actually ask that question.
If you do pull the trigger on that one, then I know this nigerian guy who will be keen to be in touch with you, could be quite a lucrative opportunity.
if it looks to good to be true.......chance is this is like many sites in china......con, I used to get loads of ads of these kinds of companies with stuff mega cheap, just google them and see, other chance is that it is a cheap copy.

I can assure you I am not. how do I delete this post then before more people click on it? Trust me dude, I'm just like the rest of ya'll trying to get my hands on one.
Yeah, I know you are desperate to have the phone like the rest of us. You're not the only one here to have rational thought overtaken by gadget-lust, you should see the number of guys here who purchased 32GB microSD cards for "amazing prices", only to receive fakes.
When you're buying electronics you should really only ever stick to reputable sellers - anything online that looks too good to be true is a sham.
Came from a friend on another forum:
The bootloader will be unlocked, it's just a matter of when; we're trying to get it ready to release and hope to have this soon. Our official announcements, since this is a priority situation, will go directly to our social media outlets when they're ready (like the previous announcements). You'll hear about it when I do. I do hope that it is soon for you.
Sincerely,
Philip

The person who sent the email responded asking why other people were getting vague emails that gave no certain answer on the future of the 3vos bootloader.
This is the return reply:

That along with the evidence that the sensation is soon to be unlocked.

I don't see any evidence that their definition of soon matches with my definition of soon...it is a relative term, after all.
I'm going err on the side of caution, unfortunately. They have 2 weeks.
Regardless of time frame, we are all at the mercy of HTC sadly enough
The date on that link is June 17.

I realize when the date is.
Everyone is rather impatient here. I understand it, but It is not like a company can output a perfect unlocked everything for a phone overnight without bricking a large number of them. It takes time.
I apologize for the repeat thread. Half these threads present have people up in arms and intending to return the phone. So I posted a new thread in hopes of lighting up the mood.

I would imagine it has more to do with appeasing partners (read: Sprint) than it has to do with technical hurdles...though I'm sure there is still a redundantly redundant amount of testing involved. Most of it is probably policy and politics than anything else.

They just need a way to do it.... How about PC only unlock ...not ota. That will help sort out the tards that can brick to those who want to tinker.
enjoying my EVO 3D. But root would be nice.

i agree make it so the person knows what they are doing
I don't get the whole I'm taking my phone back in 2 weeks, if HTC doesn't have it unlocked. It's going to happen to the phone. Whether it's through HTC or teamwin or someone else, its going to happen. Be patient, these guys will come through for us.

Thats not how they are going to do it simple as that. I asked given xHausx suggested they just post up a firmware.zip on their site for those that wish to flash and get the ENG bootloader flashed and achieve s-off. Their response was that "...that is not the way they choose to fix the problem, and they will do so with a OTA software update.."
end of story is that it WILL get done, but there is no ETA as they NEVER provide ETA's specifically. And they do this b/c there is no telling what problems might arrise while developing the fix. If they said 2weeks and ran into an issue and got delayed then there would be another uproar tossed at them.
Also why when they say they are releasing a new OS update they usually say by the end of X qtr. so they have a TON of leway.

If teamwin does it great. However I would be very surprised if there weren't strings attached to HTC's solution and no thanks to that. If the SGS2 would be announced for a pre-September release date the 3D is going back.

Well, in if that happens in 2 months from now you and the 3 remaining devs will have a blast I'm sure. This technology moves way too fast for delays like this. The first 30 days is a given, return period, time to root, etc...but this time we are up against heavy duty security for heavy duty securities sake.
While I do exaggerate a bit my point remains. We don't have time to wait as much as you think we do...developers want to develop, and when they put a commitment into a device, well, not being able to develop a god damned thing for that device is kinda a turn off. Few of our best ROM developers are also the low-level guys doing the heavy lifting and intense probing and testing required to attain root/s-off...there is an overlap, yes, but most of these guys just want to make a rom or work on a kernel, and that is to say nothing of the theme guys who operate as creative talent before technical talent...
This is an elaborate ecosystem of skills and talents here. If you happened to be one of us lucky ones in the EVO4G community from the beginning you should know that it was a bunch of coincidence and a pre-release root (and the happenstance of Sprint getting its first kickass superphone--now a regular event)...so don't expect that magic to sit around waiting for this phone to be opened up.
I'm not saying it can't happen, but that there were a lot of factors that went into it happening last time--just having a decent phone and a forum weren't what made it happen.
Let me start by saying yes, I am dying to have root myself. I miss cm7, wireless tether, even stock themes, tb, and a whole list of things (my ORD is definitely flaring).
Now let me go on to my real point. All you "omg they have two weeks" people... Is the phone really that unusable as it is? My old hero, I couldn't live without root for overclocking. My shift originally ticked me off with crappy old sense, and then I didn't understand why they didn't make the new update sense 3.0. This phone, at least for now, is up to date, and blazing fast. Root is not a deal breaker on this phone for me like my past phones. And I hack everything... Wii, cr48, router... But I don't find it completely neutering on this phone like other devices

It's a very capable phone, I agree. But it has far more potential than it has capability...and I didn't buy this phone to only be as capable as the phone it was replacing (a heavily modded EVO4G) with the only difference that I can actually see is a resolution difference.
Sure, we knew it would come locked. I knew I'd have this decision to make. It's a very capable phone. But it is also capable of so much more...that's what I want out of it. My 4G was doing everything at least as fast and with at least as good battery life with far more flexibility...
...the only reason I am so impatient is for the reason I posted above. If it doesn't happen relatively quickly the spark will fade rapidly. I feel very comfortable in the 30-day window. But as the 30 day window closes I am not going to be the only one who sizes up this situation and has to make a decision...more important than me and you and all of the other users there are the developers. The ones who provide the value-adding goodies that we love so much...without them we just have a phone like a million other phones, excuse me, that takes 3D pictures and/or Video...the only differentiating feature really....sure, HTC didn't sell a device that was intended to do the things I want to do with it--but it could...until they made it so it couldn't specifically...artificially...
You might not get it...if that's the case, congrats, this is the phone for you. No regrets. Rock on. But for me and what I would imagine are the majority of others here that is a deal breaker.....
@daneurysm: very, very well stated. I'm with you 100%
my email exchanges...
I have purchased your mogul,evo,and now evo3d. I would like to say that I love the evo3d, its an amazing device. But, if the bootloader isnt unlocked or rooted by the time my 30 days is up, I will be returning it. I feel as though I own the device, and used my hard earned money to buy it, and like a computer I should have access to it. I understand the consumer doesn't matter at all in todays corporate run world, but this is my stance, as is many others. I bought it, I own it, it is no longer yours or sprints as I'm not leasing it, I own it, its mine. Thanks, maybe.
their reply.
I certainly understand that you're looking for the bootloader of the EVO 3D to be unlocked. This is indeed something that we're working on, true to our word. We don't have a date set yet for when the update to do so will be available, but as this is a high priority situation when there is news on the subject it will be posted to our social media outlets, like our Facebook and our Twitter just as the previous announcement was. I hope that it is soon.

Hi All,
Is there any clue yet when the UK release date of the 32GB model may be?
I guess Asus themselves would be hard pressed to confirm given that they seem to be struggling to fulfil US demand at present.

Although the champagne model looks like the 19th

I normally do check out other posts but I've recently started trying to use Tapatalk on my NS and I'm finding it hard work - especially with the diabolically slow/flakey 3G connection Orange furnish in these parts.
Maybe I'm getting old but the bigger screen of the ATP is something I'm really looking forward to!
I've gone back to my desktop to post this.
Hey hey! I never though I would go with Sammy, ever since my terrible experience with the Galaxy Tab 7 Plus, I didn't think I would go with another sammy product. Now, I'm an owner of the Note 3 + Gear. I do have a question though...I bought the folio case by samsung where it has the small window. I was wondering if we can switch out the widgets on s-window (I believe that's how they call it), also if the background can have an image and not just color?
Thanks!:good:

Hey sorry to go off topic but I have a note 3 sitting on my desk unopened. I am contemplating on whether to keep it or not because of the call quality issue. Just wondering how your phone is so far and do you have any calling issues? I could care less with the tri-band thing as I don't see it happening anytime soon. Sprint always talks a big game but never delivers. Would appreciate any feedback. Thanks in advance.

It's so far the best phone I've had. However that's my opinion on it, and it suits my needs. I'm not sure what your needs are, and suggest that you do some research for yourself if it's a phone that you want. I mean, asking this question in a Galaxy Note 3 forum will most likely have a lot of people say positive stuff about it and why they think you should keep it.

The call quality issue has been resolved with MJ4 update
So, any news about this??
This is my first LG phone (not counting the original N5) and I'm just wondering why there seems to be a general lack of development...i notice that the G4 boards are similarly kinda barren...is there a specific reason not much is done in the way of custom roms on LG phones? This is a nice phone but if there is a lack of development on LG phones that will be a huge influence on if I pick up another LG phone again... Thanks guys
If you think this us bad, you should have seen the Note Edge. Lol I say give it time.
Haha I know its fairly new, I was just wondering if I was missing something..
Hope it does pick up... Fingers crossed!

It all depends on if people get the device and with the locked down nature android and OEM are moving to many developers are now only getting Nexus devices. There might be some development but it also might not be alot.
