First I would like to thank all the DEV's for all the great things you have done for many, many phones over the years. Second I see a lot of people getting pissy over the 2.04 FW for the DNA. I updated before getting the unlock.bin, I was a day late and a buck short on finding out I could not unlock the new bootloader, whose fault was that? Mine and mine alone. I bought this phone in the first place because I liked the specs and kinda figured XDA would have it figured out, and you did. I have always appreciated everything XDA has brought to the table for me since hmm since a boatload of phones ago, I did then and do now. Some people here need to be reminded that you guys put in a lot of hours and work for the mods and write ups you bring us on your own free will and most likely are not making a ton of money for doing it.
If you guys are working on it then great and thank you, if you think it's time to move on to a new project and those of us that updated are SOL then I DO NOT hold it against you or take it personally and still thank you for all the great work you have done thus far.
Thanks,
Shane
Yes, I agree totally.
And would only like to make it known that I'd be willing pony up the donation to make it possible for us too. As I would hope many others would also...?
Thanks again.

People need to realize that a lot of these guys have families or are in school and do this for fun. One guy had posted up that he was super sick and wasnt gonna be doing much and people still blew the thread up asking when he was going to work on it again. What these guys do is great and it is leaps and bounds more amazing than the iOS community I came from. (Prior iphone owner).

I'm brand new here to DNA, but am no stranger to respecting devs. Just making it known my REQUEST and OFFER to donate in return for their hard work.
I don't think there's anything wrong with at least getting it out there.
Thanks.

I'm sure that's EXACTLY how the devs feel. </sarcasm>
While normally I might agree with you, so what, this is just a general forum, and there a still plenty of people who need to realize that these devs are random people just like them. These devs just happen to have some know how and willingly spend (a lot of) their own time working on tweaking things. Then they're nice enough to share that work with the world, often asking for nothing more than sharing their work and credit where it's due.
And I know of a few who are doing that... I understand who your are speaking to and I agree.
I'm just saying it's understandable that they're upset. Me, I traded it knowing I'm gonna have to wait and am trying not to cry about it. It may get cracked or maybe not, still a great phone!

I'm not rooted, I was then bricked doing something, hard bricked, got a phone sent to me with the rootable FW BUT I did the update before I unlocked. MY bad. I would love it if the DEVs figure this out and make it so people like me and who ever else can root again. If not I read some where I can send it in to get JTAGGED or I could always look for a non updated DNA or just wait and buy the HTC ONE, but I really love the DNA, I would love it alittle more if I could do a few more things that a rooted DNA lets me do.

All the info is there. Is your spare DNA upgraded to the 2.04 FW? If no then you do not need to send it away.
If you do this would you keep us updated please. I have a spare phone I could use for awhile if I take that route.

I don't think this is a keep your phone scam. I fix and build PC's on the side and I have strangers give me laptops, desktop, ipods, phones, and other junk all the time to be fixed. And when something needs parts they give me credit card numbers. Maybe they can send you some sort of email contract or receipt or something.
Yeah after wagching the video and reading through twitter a bit, it seems legit. I'm definitely going to send it in if the price makes sense.

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.
So, I just bought a "new" Galaxy nexus on ebay. So, What should I do with my rezound? Sell it, or hold it? I obviously I am jumping the gun a little, I have yet to receive it. I probably wont see it until next weekend. I know technologically it is inferior, however it has a much much larger development community.
Even when the ril is working, there will be other hurdles that need to be crossed. After ICS source comes out for the rezound I may regret my new purchase.

ROTFL, my feelings exactly........
Yeah, I opened this thread prematurely. I was too excited. I figure when I get home from work on Saturday it will be here. I will test it for a few days and decide then.
I'm moderately new to the XDA world and I have a few questions that I decided to ask in my own thread, as to follow rules of courtesy: Does anyone know the expected release date of Joelz's latest ROM? I believe it is supposed to be Charmander? Secondly, does anyone know if developers will be able to replicate "Google Now" from Jelly Bean and incorporate it future ROMs (I imagine that it isn't beyond the capabilities of the Rezound)? Finally, will the Rezound be able to realize "Near-Beam" technology to transfer data?
First rule of XDA don't ask for ETA's on ROMs, they get released when they get released and its considered bad etiquette to ask.
Devs are already working on Google Now and again refer to the first rule as to if and when it will be ready.
Near beam needs an NFC chip which the Rezound does not have so no you will not see it here any time soon.
Joelz is on hiatus, so no eta in the near future. Believe me, you will hear about it if/when he returns to developing. I have no answers for your other 2 questions. Enjoy XDA.

Nothing. Just makes me lose more respect if that is possible. All that time he kept telling us to donate rezounds to team bamf and then he goes around and instead of doing so himself, sells the rezound to cushion his own pocket.

I would hardly call the nexus a piece of crap phone I honestly wish I never sold it and kept it. And on the second topic I believe he met his quota and when you donate something that doesn't mean you or anybody else has any say in what is done with it. It's a donation which is from the kindness of the hearts of the users. Yes it is expected that they do some work (which he did) but that doesn't mean they have to do anything with it. It's not a loan it's a donation.

You miss my point entirely.
Look at it this way. I ask you to donate to charity XYZ. I keep asking you to donate to them, talk about how awesome they are, etc. You donate and make cut backs toake the donations. The kicker is when it comes time for me to donate what they need, I dont. I use that money for myself and what I want and forget the charity. That'd make you happy right? I talk you into doing it but I won't even think twice about it.
Someone spends the telling us to donate to a certain dev team, but when it comes time for him too, he doesn't.
Two sided.
Had he never asked like crazy for this to happen, honestly wouldn't have cared...

I don't believe they are getting the one. The DNA is the best your going to get at the moment. Unless you wait for the gs4 that comes next month. Verizon is also supposedly getting the Motorola x this June. But the DNA is $49 with a new contract right now.

If you like custom Roms and kernels and such I would not recommend it. There's nothing wrong with the dev community but if you buy it now you won't be able to unlock etc unless you send the phone off.

Do you really want to play the "maybe i'll wait just a few more months for this newer phone to come out" game?
I'm sure the GS4, and HTC One are great, but DNA seems just as impressive ( based on video reviews of all ). Once Verizon releases sense 5 for it being rooted won't make a difference.
Rezound to DNA was an amazing upgrade, so much more battery life, NO HICCUPS, and an even more gorgeous screen that can be on for 4-5 hours compared to 1 hour, lets not forget 24/7 4G without battery drain.

And yes, there will always be a newer and better phone on the horizon. Just get one that at least has staying power, ie fastprocessor, lota of ram, and a good screen.

Just be prepared to jtag it.
DNA is a great device, I switched between this and my GS3 before I sold it and was extremely happy to come back to the DNA. Root would have been a deal breaker for me but since I unlocked and rooted before I took the OTA updates I was able to root again on the newest update. HTC has also always always (I don't care what anyone tells you) had better overall reception and not just with service and 4G but with WiFi Bluetooth too. My GS3 sucked when it came to getting strong signal and I doubt the GS4 will be any better with it, Samsung has always lacked in that department.

Yea, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna get tomorrow.. rooted is good, but its not gonna stop me from getting a device cuz I can't root yet. I know how good the devs are here at xda, so I know its just a matter of time... I remember buying the evo 3d and HTC saying the bootloader was unhackable.. but our devs did it.. so I have faith in the xda devs ... Thanks guys

No. Root ( practical root not ****ing # who am I?) Will never be achieved through software means. If some uber geek figures out how to do some sort of ground out through USB (impossible) then maybe.
Don't get a DNA. Seriously

Cause no one with the required knowledge gives a **** about the DNA.
Our devs are great but, we are talking doctorates in applied sciences.
And that'd be Master know-it-all to you.

Just because the people who are working on it aren't posting public updates on what theyre doing doesn't mean it isn't being worked on, and by some pretty damn talented people might I add. Anythings possible. All it takes is for someone to get lucky and find an exploit that lets us get rid of write protection for any amount of time.

I never said anything about updates. I'm on the irc and there is literally nothing that can be done till write protection is broken. I never said they weren't talented either.

And that's what's being worked on, a software exploit to break wrote protection... Once that is accomplished everything else is pretty easy.

not to sound like a total douche, but what do you think the petition will accomplish? I mean we already gave them money, most of us are still locked into a contract. Neither Sammy or AT&T have any reason to accommodate us.
Dunno, just my thoughts.
Devs are hard at work on it... and I am sure it will come much, much faster than a silly petition.

Just trying to have a little fun fellas ...:laugh:
Do I really think Samsung will listen? You never know
However I do have more faith in XDA Devs than Samsung and AT&T for getting this feature turned on for us.
At least has being proactive (even though nothing will come from this) instead of whining about it and opening thread after thread.

Well, before the fervor over the JB release, the reason we didn't have multiview was our video hardware limitation.
But I have used ICS apps with floating windows, so at least that's possible.
Thanks - signed the petition. I cant believe they could ding us like this. Our device is not even that old to begin with cmon Samsung dont shortchange your customers.
True Shane if I could tell the future I'd be a far richer man then I am now
Don't get me wrong I'm not trying to discourage the op I like the fact that he is trying to help we need more of that round here. But petitions take a long time and the results are mix see blamesamsung. I think that before we have any action at this ptmr3 big or nun will get it done. so yes I don't know

This is all besides the point, but this feature was promised to us so we should get what was promised and as far as i know misguiding people or misleading them to believe something is for sure just to make a sale is against the law, anyways that is what happened to me. Hopefully they are forced into this.
In the first place the international device was updated with the enact same thing (Jellybean 4.1.2 Update) only they did in fact receive multiwindow on their device. What is the problem? why is this such a complicated thing for them to do? if they did it for one device they should be able to do it with our American Version device. I think they get Customers hopes up, show them how the multitasking/multiwindow would perform on their device, and most importantly what exactly is multitasking and the benefit of the feature. Then you have numerous customers that are very interested and eager on having this feature, but personally i think they do it on purpose so they can force customers to buy a more expensive device that is mufti-window compatible. Just to get them into another phone that's more expensive and to get as much money out of them as quickly as they can, that's how i see it, why else would they have such a big issue putting it on our device? i'm sure it's not nearly as impossible as they are making it seem.

Show me where on Samsung's website, their official press release of the update or the product page that says we were to get multi-window.
Just because sites reported it but were wrong does not make it a promise from Samsung. SamMobile is not Samsing and doesn't report on their behalf.
So no false advertising is present. Samsung did not mis-represent nothing. It was 3rd party websites that made the error. So the claim against them would be thrown out on that alone.

You're refuting a, what appears to be roughly 16 year old girl, with logic. As someone who's paid to teach 16 year old girls, I can tell you, your task is futile.
