I would like to get everone to email them and maybe we can get them to act on this a bit quicker.
This is the response I got;
Good question, Mike. We definately understand the concern regarding the phones with bootloaders that are currently locked.
Unfortunately, prior to the decision to refrain from locking bootloaders, the devices had already been shipped to their appropriate vendors, and it was too late to change the software on the phones.
As much as I would love to provide you with a solid answer regarding when the encryption/lock will be removed from our bootloaders, headquarters has not made any official announcements regarding this. Though, once this decision is made, we'll definately also announce this through our website, as well as Facebook & Twitter, as well. Stay tuned; we'll definately let you know, as soon as the information becomes available.
Thank you for taking the time to contact us, Mike.

I send an email yesterday about Sense Transparent Rosie, Panoramic Camera, Flashlight and some others missing Apps and this was their answer.
Dear Roque Perez,
I understand the importance of having your device perform to the fullest of its ability. The applications you describe were removed from the production model of the Sprint EVO 3D at Sprint's request so that it would function as intended. I do paologize for any inconvenience.

HTC is just holding us off with generic answers. I believe they are going to back out of this and not unlock the EVO 3D.

Well its been a year and our bootloaders are still locked. In 2011 moto promised to embrace the dev community and unlock all the bootloaders on their phones. HTC started offering unlocks but moto hasn't said a word. I personally think it has something to do with Google's purchased of Motorola mobility but I'm not sure. They haven't issued any type of statement regarding this issue. Lets take action! We need EVERY one in the photon forums to take 3 mins and fill this out. This petition is flying around teh interwebz extremely fast. Its definitely going around XDA as all moto owners are joining forces, let's get in on it! I hope moto responds I really like them as a company now...

From this site
It is our intention to offer an unlockable/relockable bootloader, currently found on MOTOROLA XOOM, in future software releases starting in late 2011 where operator and channel partners will allow it.

The Google deal still is being held up and there is a chance that it may still get kiboshed. So I don't think it's that..

CAUTION:
All Galaxy SIII have seen since Google Play now offer an update for "Samsung WDH Dongle Upgrade" at this address:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...SwxLDEsImNvbS5zZWMuYW5kcm9pZC5md3VwZ3JhZGUiXQ..
I strongly discourages owners of this phone to do this update until Samsung confirms that this utility comes right from home.
Indeed, we can see that this application is signed by Samsung is saying except that the email address of the developer on the Google page play is nothing other than:
samsung.ota.upgrade @ gmail.com
Not to mention that Samsung offers updates by Samsung and not Google Apps Play. Not to mention also that this is not the usual account of Samsung which is used to provide this update!
In short, there are many indications that it would surely be an application riddled by a wise guy that tries to exploit a flaw in the GS3.
Expect to learn a little more before you jump in this update ...

Any application that is updated has to be signed with the same key and certificate as the previous version. Seeing as the previous version came already on the phone, it's safe to assume this update comes from Samsung.

help please. How can I reinstall wdh update after updating a ROM without that update? Could someone share the update please cuase it's impossible to redownload from google play store...
This Update is on Play No Longer Available.
A Samsung employee confirmed this was legit on his twitter feed.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Where is the tweet please?
The apps was taken off the Google Play store. Is it a malware??
Look for samsung John on twitter it was in reply to someone asking him.
The app (if you took a look at it) has been signed with the same key as the file it replaces so it was always likely to be real.

Just thought I'd let you folks know about Contacts+ , the contacts app I'm using on my stock now.
It is totally packed with features (chiefly, integration with social networks, WhatsApp integration and smart ordering), looks absolutely lovely, and just elevates the Android experience when using a smartphone.
As an added bonus, it pimps out your SMS and call log appearance and functionality as well.

Well you posted the message with a Nexus 4 not a Note 2 from Verizon, and the app has tons of bad reviews which have the same problems. So either your the dev and your making money money off of it or your just out of country and decided not to take your Verizon Note 2 and are one of the few people not having problems with the app.

So true kint, I am just contributing.
I am neither getting paid for this and neither I have a PayPal donation account.
I came across the app so I shared, if you guys don't like it then it solely depends on your needs.
Everybody can't have same choice ..
I did not knew if someone shares an app then that means he is getting paid to do It.

I'm just wondering where you're coming from. You have to admit, it looks suspect that your only like is from the app developer.
I appreciate you trying to contribute - nothing wrong there. However, some of your previous efforts were in bad taste, I.e. -- posting other's work without credit. It seems you're trying a different approach now, so I can appreciate that.
Carry on. Lol.

I have no dog in this fight, but having tinkered with this app for a bit, it actually does have some pretty nice features. Seems like the devs put a lot of thought into how SMS, phone and contacts interact...quite intuitive. I will definitely give it a few days of testing.

For real this post belongs in the android app development section. These themes and app threads aren't meant for people to promote their app. You might not be the developer but judging by the fact the thread is almost identical makes it look the the dev is trying to advertise their app, and this isn't the place at all. There are people that are actually taking their time and making mods/themes and all the threads keep getting pushed to the bottom of the list because of threads like this. I posted a themed app last night and its sad that its 10 posts below this already. If people want an alternate contacts app they will do what everyone else does, and search the playstore, not come to a device specific thread looking for a copy/pasted review of the app. At least you didn't completely kang this particular developers work like your aosp browser/mms/miui music threads.

Sorry fellow Buckeye, but this actually is news. Samsung was previously doing an unofficial recall. An official recall in the US is different. For example, it will make it illegal for anyone to sell the recalled device.

Not good for those of us hoping for phones next week
The CPSC's involvement may change the pace of Note 7 exchanges, though. Samsung now says new Note 7s will be issued to existing buyers "upon completion of the CPSC process," and neither Samsung nor the CPSC offered a specific timetable beyond "as soon as possible."
