HBoot menu shows Locked - when locked, Unlocked - when unlocked, then ReLocked when Unrooted.

Is it at all possible to modify the HBoot menu ( like Revolutionary ) - to say LOCKED when the phone is UNLOCKED? The reason would be to fool the Sprint Store techies enough to where they wouldn't realize it's unlocked before honoring my warranty.
[HTC EVO 3D] Alanmw86:
Trust me when I tell you they normally don't care haha..and even if they do they probably wont load up the bootloader to check, just check the software on the phone (not to say you won't get some Nazi at random)
[HTC EVO 3D] stardustx:
Cool man, thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] Jrex:
I don't think its possible to relock the bootloader without it saying "Relocked" atm... Sorry dude! :(
[Networking] ridikolous:
I received my bill. Fifty dollars was added to my bill for a line that doesn't have data. I use wifi on that line, called Tmobile and they said that when wifi drops there network data kicks in. I said that cap cause I block data from that line long time ago what should I do?

Go to the FCCs website and file a complaint. You will get ur money back (u may have to pay the charge and then have it refunded).
[Networking] grhand82:
Tell em to go stuff themselves and go to hell. You want you're money back and you post on XDA and you'll slam em for stacking your bill (I forget the FCC term used)

Give em hell and good luck. Screw TMO...
[Networking] ridikolous:
Thanks for the response I called them to cancel my services and they waived the 50 dollars

[Motorola Atrix 2] okachowwa:
I was wondering if you guys have been able to find any good games cracked to work with the Atrix 2? Like in the market and stuff and even Gameloft, there are very few games that are compatible. Have you guys found any good games like good 3d games that work (like nova 2 but i already have that).
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jimmy273:
We don't support the use of cracked software here on xda. Take your illegal activities elsewhere.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Douchewithaphone:
Frankly, if you have every intention of buying the full version with update support, etc... once it's available for our phone, I don't see the issue.

That said, I'm unaware of games cracked to be supported for us. Game devs kinda suck a bit really, we still don't have either NFS game working...
[Motorola Atrix 2] Atrixed2:
oh wow didn't know that people will look for cracked games o.O this is an android phone not iphone ^_^v you can find a lot of free games that will kill time. My favorites are samurai, destinia and drag racing.
[Motorola Atrix 2] the_scotsman:
I understand you're asking for games cracked to work on your device, not specifically "cracked" to avoid paying for them, but I'm afraid we can't allow anyone to discuss or post links to any kind of cracked software.

OK I came from inspire the old srs enhancement had really good sound and deep bass but the srs on the HTC vivid has barley any bass. Why is it different in sound quality? If its same sound enhancement/

with my sony earbuds, i think this is one of the best sounding phones out there, to me they sound richer than my old captivate

[LG Revolution] chrisradcliffe23:
A week ago, Cyber Monday, I took advantage of ZAGG's 1/2 off of everything sale. I bought the maximum protection for the Revo($24.99) and the Kindle Fire($34.99) for a total of about $30. Despite having a little trouble applying the complete case; front, back, both sides, bottom bar, it looks great! With the Body Glove case over the phone, I feel much safer now.
[LG Revolution] Haro912:
I always wanted one of those full body ZAGGs. It look good and feel alright in your hand?
[LG Revolution] chrisradcliffe23:
It feels great by itself and doesn't leave any fingerprints.
[LG Revolution] indyred99:
I use what's called ghost armor found it in the mall near me. Can't tell anything is on it and finders glide nicely. Lifetime warranty too!

GINGERVOLTED!
[LG Revolution] y2d2:
Love the ZAGG.

Tried a few cheapo eBay protectors in the past, and they didn't last like this one.

I bought one of those gel protector cases from the Verizon store when I bought my phone, but within a week found it to be annoying and made the phone feel larger so I did away with it. About 6 months now without one, and no scratches or anything to speak of. Feels so much better in my hand/pocket, too.

Have you used it with the Extended Battery?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dingo dog:
So my story is. Wanted to try out cm7.1 after darkys extreme final. Have made all backups, while flashing cm, phone started to restart itself, so I removed the battery, tried again, finished. Worked fine. Decided that i like darkys better, so used a restore options in cwm, failed, used advanced restore options, with data restore. Tried to restart my i9000, it stucked at boot logo i9000 blah. Tried again, phone--!--pc logo. Download mode still works, but when I try to flash it, in the middle of it phone jumps in to random screen colour, like red, blue or anything. And the flashing stops. So please tell me is there a method to revive my sammy, coz its just the best phone evah!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trex3491:
What are you trying to flash it with? JVT, JVS...?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dingo dog:
no need. Fixed it. I suspected that my pc is responsible for that. Clean vista, clean drivers, and only odin on pc helped. False alarm, thou it was interesting to see my phone showing all colours of the rainbow. Thanks for your trouble
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mvorbrodt:
Does anyone know if Galaxy Nexus supports the Name ID feature offered by T-Mobile? The one where you get person's name even when the number is not in your contacts? I just added it to my account for $3.99/month/line but can't tell if it works or not, maybe it takes a while to kick in. I know it didn't work on my Nexus S :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
That feature is the biggest ripoff ever...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mvorbrodt:
Perhaps, but does it work on GNex?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mvorbrodt:
Anyone? Please?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mstrandbo:
Wouldn't know, but I use the app Truecaller for that functionality. Which is free :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cred05:
Not sure if they are related, but the GNex does show you where unknown calls are coming from, ie City and state.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KiNG OMaR:
Delete your home phone from your contacts and try calling yourself :rolleyes:

I'd try for you, but I don't have that service :o
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orrebo:
Hi,

I can't find anything about to move the battery from one side to the other in the top panel.

I have seen a guide before but can't find it.

Thanks in advance.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inspire me:
Just need to know if when I unlock the boot loader if it will be completely wiped. Thank you
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
Oh yes. Get as prepared as you can.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inspire me:
Am I able to root it without unlocking the boot loader?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
No, sorry. Really, once you do it, it's done and you can get on to better things.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flameinthefire:
since the original thread was was closed!!! lets continue discussing it here
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fdm1:
hahaha...wonder what the ;) was for.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DroidHam:
Why was the thread closed?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flameinthefire:
i guess the guy from the commercial "can you hear me now" is a moderator now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sstang2006:
copy the images over lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jayharper08:
I closed it per OP's request. That's why it was closed. ;) and I'm not this dude:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DroidHam:
So they leaked the pictures and then complained when they got posted on every major website? LOL
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fdm1:
maybe VZW asked him to have it closed and they're getting ready to finally say something official (wishful thinking)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
"you're fired!" ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] foxehkins:
Since they looked like they were taken from a warehouse by a stocking employee I doubt it was their desire to have those photos get out. Maybe that's why.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] paOol:
luckily the Images are already on several blog sites
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DroidHam:
these pictures are great and all, but WHEN THE FCK CAN I ORDER?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flameinthefire:
so it is coming out this month thats for sure probably next week i would say
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
i bet they will just stick with the Dec. 8th thing & just not tell us... let it be a surprise on the 8th and no pre-ordering
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DroidHam:
I was hoping for preorders this week and delivery on my door the 9th....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Noodles5666:
I was told my store would have them tomorrow in store but cannot sell them til the 8th. We can't even turn them on til the 8th or we face termination.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
sounds like you just gave it away!...

i think it's time....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DroidHam:
Hope we see some in store pics tomorrow
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robertlawson225:
not complain

^^^started having coworkers getting news feeds from multiple sites

so yea next time ...... no! no next time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DroidHam:
Huh?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robertlawson225:
meaning i had coworkers saying they saw my post linked from a ton of sites :eek: and don't think my boss would like that very much. If it stayed just on xda i everything would have been cool.

so now there won't be a next time :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DroidHam:
Ugh I'm sorry
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robertlawson225:
no worries its all settled down and the phone will be out soon enough. though its been a log wait for US
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DroidHam:
When can I preorder :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DroidHam:
Do you work for Samsung? Or Verizon?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robertlawson225:
To be completely honest i don't know, some devices don't have a preorder just have to wait and see. I think the best thing to do would be to check verizonwireless.com for it to appear there

sorry i cant give any more you know:p

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TiltedAz:
It's too bad Verizon's early email notification sucks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
Err...you have AT&T and yet you want people to believe you work at Verizon?

Nooot so sure about that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qreffie:
That's a personal preference. I used to work for an insurance company but had my personal insurance go through a different company. There are loads of compelling reasons to work for one place yet have service through another.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chriscardinal:
What's your assertion here? The pics are pretty damn real...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
Right, but insurance and selling phones are very different things. Working in a Verizon or AT&T retail store usually gets you free service (I've had plenty of friends that have worked in the stores as everything from basic employee to district manager, and they've all gotten free service).

If it comes down to free service with a carrier or $90 a month for the lowest service possible...nobody would go with the $90 a month, especially if you're a retail store employee since you probably make a pretty low wage.

What do the pics have to do with this? They were posted by someone else...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ohwut:
Free....no, discounted yes. I have a close friend(who's family plan I was on) who works at Verizon, 30% discount. I also have a family member working at the Verizon HQ in New Jersey same deal. I've worked at T-Mobile and AT&T with slightly better plans but you still have to pay. Obviously corporate phones for salaried employees(DM and above generally) are free but not for personal use. It's pretty reasonable to go with another carrier especially when you can easily find a way to get 20% discounts on nearly any carrier.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
Family plans are different. No companies give family plans for free. My dad's worked for AT&T for 42 years and his family plan is like 40% or something.

People that work at retail stores get their personal lines for free. I literally just texted a friend that's currently a general manager of a Verizon corporate store (and started off as a base employee). He said from 3 months after starting he was given a free personal line.

On top of it, a free in college worked at an AT&T retail store and got the same benefit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Noodles5666:
Actually yea if you don't work for VZW corporate then yes it is totally possible to use a different carrier. I've had a 28% discount with AT&T for over 5 years now and have locked in unlimited data so I chose to stay with them. My old store used to have all the reps with some version of the iPhone prior to it launching on VZW.

---------- Post added at 12:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:48 AM ----------

They do NOT get their phone for free. However they do get a discounted access line.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shamrock13:
Hm. We get a 50% discount on our family plan. (My sis works for VZW.)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ejkeebler:
Verizon Called

Out of the blue, Verizon calls me yesterday and tells me i'm eligible for an upgrade (which I have been for months) and asks what I am waiting on. I tell them the Nexus and they proceed to tell me that they have no information on that phone, but that the razor is just as good as it and they've had "ZERO complaints" about the phone. I tell her i'm interested in ICS, NFC, and the 720p display. She basically says the razr will be getting an ICS update soon and that the display is very comparable and not much they can do about the NFC, but I really should get the razr.....

makes me think something is coming and they don't want me to get it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TiltedAz:
She's probably a commissioned salesperson and Verizon needs to unload a bunch of RAZRs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KiNG OMaR:
Typical. They want to boost DROID sales the most because that's what made Verizon.

3 years ago, in Chicago at least, the usual atmosphere was "Verizon wut?"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diablo908:
I'm in the same boat. Verizon has called my wife at least once a month since Sept (when I got my upgrade eligibility) and they keep asking her what I'm waiting on. She's twice told them the Nexus, and this last time (3 days ago) they were quite persistent about the RAZR being just as good, and I should just get it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] absens:
Employee discounts and such vary depending on region and department. So arguing over who gets what as an employee is pointless. Call centers are provided different "benefits" than what retail reps have. Let's all just be happy VZW is finally releasing the Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bigsam411:
http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/06/...in-verizon-stores-december-8th/#disqus_thread

Photo says the 8th, Engadget says the 9th. Still this meshes with what we already know.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ejkeebler:
the more info that comes out the more I start leaning towards, just ditching verizon, signing up with Sprint and getting an sgs2 for .01 and save $30 a month on the plan just to spite verizon....geez...

ok i guess the sgs2 isn't one of the .01 phones, but it's still $170 cheaper....

EDIT:

And I guess another part of me wants to buy it solely because Verizon doesn't want me to!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Funny how they don't have any information on the Nexus but know its comparable to the Razr.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DroidHam:
I wonder if it actually will be available on the 8th....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Storm T:
Don't do that unless you want horrible data speeds.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TiltedAz:
Around here Sprint has crappy speeds, horrible coverage, and a questionable 4G rollout plan. And there's a good chance they'll go bankrupt.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kgbkny:
^This right there lends credence to the assumption that Verizon delayed the Nexus to sell more RAZRs and Rezounds.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
Well that's exactly why it was delayed. I've been telling people this for a month already. Verizon was heavily vested in both the RAZR and Rezound and has very little connection to the Galaxy. Google's providing the marketing and advertising for it, not Verizon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diablos991:
What marketing or advertising? ... oh you mean those couple of YouTube videos... That will do the trick Google!

Sent from my LG-P999
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kgbkny:
Speaking of lack of advertising, I'm surprised that nothing's been done for the Droid 4. That phone is scheduled for release this week as well, if you believe the rumors, and not a single ad...not even a YouTube video.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flameinthefire:
i think droid 4 comes out on the 22nd
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
That's exactly my point. Verizon hasn't put a dime into the advertising. They leave it up to Google. Whether Google does or does not advertise correctly is irrelevant for this conversation, it's purely about how Verizon is handling the entire thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kgbkny:
The latest rumor claims that the release date is December 8.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Noodles5666:
I was at Sam's Club today looking for a case for my GNex HSPA+ and the VZW had cases and they were activating the store GNex. The box looks likes an Ice Cream Sandwich. Don't know if that is the retail box or just the way they are shipping the demo units.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robertlawson225:
from what i understand it will be announced and up on the web site on the 8th but not in the consumers hands but it is possible for it to be available for preorder but nothing is ever written in stone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Noodles5666:
Was just sent an email stating we have to wait til Dec 15th to sell now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flameinthefire:
email from who?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
And *this* is why I don't believe **** that you say.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Noodles5666:
From my RAE.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
That's kind of running into the Droid 4 isn't it? Unless they are trying to smother its launch with another phone.

I pray its this week. I already sold my personal phone. Going another week will be painful. Plus I don't see what the deal is. The stores have already gotten the phones and employees trained.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kwinders:
I was in my local store yesterday, the 6th, they got in theirs and I played with the demo. The store manager who I've been dealing with for 5yrs+ told me that everything he's been told says the release will be Friday the 9th but still no official word from Verizon.

It is, to me anyway, a good sign that they are showing up in stores and getting to actually see it.

http://www.droid-life.com/2011/12/07/galaxy-nexus-no-longer-launching-on-december-9/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kgbkny:
A question for forum members who have Verizon:

Does Verizon always screw up their phone launches like this? I was ready and willing to switch to Verizon, but the latest development in the GNex catastrophe is making me seriously reconsider the switch. T-Mobile may not be doing anything to rectify the data speed issue in my area, and their days are numbered anyway, but is the grass really greener at Verizon?

I'm looking for a serious answer. If Verizon pulls this kind of crap frequently, I don't want to make the jump and deal with it for two years.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eallan:
Seems like it, the bionic launch sucked, thunderbolt launch sucked, Razr was on schedule i guess, but even that a was a **** move launch (less than 2 months after the bionic).

Now there is a droid 4, some more terrible motorola tablets, and no GNex anywhere.

What the hell is going on?

They sure can launch an iPhone on time though :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] criDikal:
only major phone launch issues I've been apart of as a customer for 10+ years, was with the HTC Incredible shortage. but that was more so an HTC issue because of the display shortage.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rukawa2k:
Thunderbolt release was another one that was messed up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Noodles5666:
Hmmm well look at that. Yet another delay and it's documented now. Hmmmm. yeah don't believe the **** I say.

---------- Post added at 01:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:40 PM ----------

Hmmm yea I'm a liar. Hmmmm too bad it's now showing up as "launching soon" again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
It doesn't really matter if it's documented now...the thing is everything you've said could just be stuff you see on the internet. I won't be listening to you, or anyone else for that matter, regarding this launch any more. People "confirm" launch dates every 2 days and they're always pushed back.

I'm still moving to Verizon, but so far they're a bunch of ****ing idiots, regarding this launch. I know the reason it's being pushed back, and it has **** to do with the LTE SIM problems the RAZR is having. It's purely about sales. Verizon is a bunch of shady bastards. I wish they didn't have the most reliable network in the US, since they pretty much have the nation by the balls.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kgbkny:
Thanks to all who have responded. I definitely want the LTE service, and am willing to pay more per month than what I'm paying now. However, Verizon's treatment of the GNex is leaving a bad taste in my mouth. I'm in NYC, and AT&T is rolling out LTE here this month. One way or the next, I'm done with T-Mobile.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] criDikal:
if it was purely about sales you wouldn't get this phone until February.
