So guys, i have this message:

System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest Verizon Wireless store for help

Suggestions on how to fix it or hard brick it WITHOUT USB?
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
Throw it at something.

If you have root access try to delete something essential. Even if you can still flash a ROM vzw will think it is dead.

Make sure you have the stock boot animation though.
[HTC Rezound] Uzephi:
How did you get that message? I have been running custom ROMs on my devices since May 2011 with no issues... How would they even know?

[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
Oh dear, what are your thoughts? :D
[HTC Rezound] wlmeng11:
A. "Beats audio" is still asinine

B. I hate aluminum bodied electronic devices

C. Sense is still not AOSP

D. Too big, but so are all the other phones

E. Still no SD card

F. No removable battery and doesn't have a giant battery

G. It looks like an iPhone 5, but ugly (well the black one is the one that looks more like an iPhone, but the silver is the ugly one)

[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
At this point it better launch with 4.2. Or it will take even longer to get. UK has theirs already rolling out.
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
-I hate beats also.

-Aluminum >>> plastic

-Yeah, but I can always flash another ROM

-Not as big as most phones coming out

-I wish it had an SD card slot

-Neither does almost every phone on the market. All that does is add a ton of thickness for a quick convenience.

-I think it is sexy.

This looks like a review done by someone who hasn't actually used ONE.

#BlameAnt
[HTC Rezound] BreatheALittle:
I've used the One, and although it is a quality phone, I wasn't thrilled by it. Even if it was on Verizon, I wouldn't go for it for a variety of reasons. Keep in mind, boys, that we are entitled to each have our own opinion.
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
not here in 'Merica. :P
[HTC Rezound] BreatheALittle:
Cute response. That made me giggle. :)
[HTC Rezound] wlmeng11:
-ok, but that doesn't make the horrendous logo on the back disappear

-I mainly meant the color; black aluminum is alright (matte preferred over glossy).

Even then, I still don't like solid metal enclosures. A hybrid of polycarb/ABS with metal and rubberized accents is preferable.

-The Rezound had ROMs; that didn't turn it into a Nexus

-Yeah, I realized that coming from a Droid 1, everything would be giant

-ok

-From a short term perspective, lack of a removable battery is alright IF the battery lasts for an entire day, which I hear the One doesn't

From a long term perspective, it seems that most phones nowadays are going for planned obsolesence to force people to upgrade, and non-removable batteries is part of that.

-The back looks like a shiny turd.

The silver and black colors on the front clash, IMO.

The all-black one looks alright, although then it basically looks like a bigger iPhone with less bezel.

I also forgot to mention the buttons.

For navigation:

On-screen > Physical > Capacitive

And if you're going to do capacitive buttons, please have more than TWO buttons, and don't stick your logo between them.

Also, the power button is STILL on top. Please no. Same with the headphone jack.

For an example of how to do power/vol buttons correctly, look at the Gnex.

The Nexus 4 looks pretty good, although I don't like the glass back.

I really like the design and build of the Droid 1.

My favorite designs are utilitarian and mostly black in color, with other colors (blue or red) to accent important things. I already stated my preference for materials.

ie pre-2012 Thinkpads
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
Droidlife's twitter. Again, not concrete but don't get your hopes up on Aug 1st
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
after a few months with a case on the logo wiped off. the paint sucks on the aluminum. (but this was with the silver one idk if the black is any better)
[HTC Rezound] wlmeng11:
Not extensively, but I can judge the aesthetics/build/design almost instantly.

The build quality feels solid and it's nice to hold, don't get me wrong, but I hate the design and aesthetics.

Things like non-removable battery, lack SD card and AOSP are things that I can judge based on prior experience and other reviews.
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
-The beats logo rubs off really easily.

-theres a black version

-you forget that the Google edition ROM can be flashed onto any One, so yeah its a nexus.

-you look like a shiny turd

-the nexus 4 battery lasts all day, and everyone says the one is way better

-since when did metal and black clash? And again, black version.

-you'll get used to the button layouts.

And I agree, the nexus 4 is pretty good. The back isn't an issue as long as you dont throw it against concrete. I've dropped mine a lot and it hasn't even scratched.

[HTC Rezound] wlmeng11:
Wait the silver color is painted? Dafuq?

Edit: or are you talking about logos and stuff?
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
sorry, talking about the logos. they just fell off my buddies.
[HTC Rezound] wlmeng11:
-That's nice then, because it was perma-laser-etched or something on the Rezound

-That solves the color, now add polycarb and a rubberized back.

-Good point, although not for VZW (GS4 still has radio issues for Google edition ROM on VZW)

-https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem

-A lot of people say the Nexus doesn't, but then again, they test it by watching Netflix/playing games continuously.

If it doesn't drain much on standby, that's good enough for me. (The Rez just died from sitting in my pocket)

-See #2

-I'll never like them, though

I've broken a Droid X and a Rezound (twice, first dropped then water), so my standards for durability are a bit different. ;)

My Thinkpad, on the other hand, has been through a lot.

I am sure neo flyhalf and the rest of the gang are working on it. If it can even be half as good as it is on the nexus 7 then we are in for a treat.
[HTC Rezound] Thrakerzad:
Oh I know we're in for a treat. I have faith in them that they will really give us something to be proud of, being that we waited so long just for ICS and weren't meant to have more than that.

Yeah think that was why neo pit alchemy on hold was because of that. All I know is 4.3 smooth out the N7 a lot. I can hardly wait for it.

[HTC Rezound] SirSigma:
I'll be surprised if Verizon really does go through with as few changes as possible when they sell the One. I can sort of imagine a likely scenario.

"Consumers, we at Verizon have heard you. You want a device with less branding, a device with the same specs as the other carrier's variants, and a device with the same hardware design and name. You asked for an unlocked bootloader and more updates. We have listened, and we have heard you...

"DOESN'T MEAN WE'RE GONNA LISTEN! Introducing the 16GB HTC Droid Incredible Uno 4G LTE! It features a slower processor, our Verizon branding on front and back, and a different hardware design so that you have to buy different cases than the ones for the One! Best of all, it has ICS onboard with a locked bootloader so that you'll buy the S4 or iPhone 5 instead!"
[HTC Rezound] Khayos:
Fairly average use, 13 hours & 50 mins, still have 58% left. All on 4G LTE, no wifi
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
Could you imagine if they were like, " hey, we know we made you wait so we'll ship it with 4.3, our variant has a 3000 mah battery, and we decided to throw in a wireless charger with every purchase. Oh yeah and its bootloader unlocked straight out of the box!" I think everyone would just crap themselves.
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
and i would say screw unlimited data
[HTC Rezound] SirSigma:
And if it had 64 or 128GB of storage and zero Verizon bloatware and branding... I'd eat my hat.

I'm running the latest Android Revolution and I get a good 2 days at least out of mine. Brightness kind of high and wifi always on.
[HTC Rezound] Khayos:

Can you say that seriously without laughing? I know I couldn't.

No phone is worth subsidising if it means losing unlimited data.
[HTC Rezound] Dark Jedi:
How can anyone want to give up unlimited data for a phone that will be obsolete within a year willing to pay the same price for a few gigs of data as they did for unlimited data. I will most likely move my upgrade to my dumb phone line and get the one when and if it comes.

@antp121 the Nexus is awesome. With the measly extended battery it feels super good in the hand. And the amoled display is kinda nice. Hopefully I can find a nice Jelly Bean port lol
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
Lol @ jay. You would ask that. You want her number? :p and i don't think ill be getting a nexus. First, to get a replacement its $100. Totally not worth it. Second, I'd get another rezound.... Finally, my dad said I can get a sgs3 for my birthday when my sister gets her line :) now I have to wait a month or two but, hey, it'll be worth it. The sgs3 is gunnabe the best vzw phone for AWHILE. the incred4g won't compare...

Well things have become interesting again so soon into my hiatus. JellyBean is getting passed around pretty quickly.

Itching to do some customization for my phone, but I've sold my 1TB hard drive to get by. Months of work and data cultivation gone.

Well, time for random tidbit of info: for anybody that doesn't have this, you should look into it. It's not Windows on a stick, but it's convenient, especially for private browsing and using KeePass to take passwords with you:

Because Verizon waits until the last possible moment, months after every other carrier, to do anything. They are too busy putting bloatware and key loggers in it and developing new names for devices like " Droid HTC One Max HD incredible extended".

can anyone confirm, on android 4.1.2 that quick settings was enabled with 2 fingers sliding down the notification bar????
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
Why would you not just build a PC and pay less over all?
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
i have a pc. but i prefer games on my console over a pc, it feels more of a team driven environment, plus is ridiculously cheaper.
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
Tell me how it is cheaper.

You may look at the upfront price and think "wow, it is cheaper to buy a PS4". But, think about it this way:

Console route

-You buy a computer for around $500.

-You buy the PS4 for $500.

-You buy 10 games for $60 a piece.

-Awful graphics. Consoles can barely hit 720p with 60 FPS.

-Children screaming about your mom.

-Major input lag.

Total cost: $1600

PC route

-Build a PC for $1000

-Buy 5 games for $30. and 5 games for $10. (don't forget the FTP games)

-Better graphics.

-Better community.

-All in one machine.

-Accuracy of a mouse.

-You now can edit videos, and build android ROMs.

-Freedom from limitations.

-Steam summer sale. (I got all three Skyrim DLCs for under $20)

Total cost: $1200

PC gaming is cheaper. Keep in mind I played on the PS3 for over 4 years before I built my PC.
[HTC Rezound] Dark Jedi:
That's simple with a console you are not tempted to make upgrades like CPU ram and so on. Like you would be if you had a gaming PC.

If I had to choose between a one and a ps4. I would have to choose the ps4 as games are better graphic with the PlayStation3 and I like the controller better unlike the Xbox has always been bulky. Plus with the one you need to have the kenex always on in order to just play the game. The one reminds me of apple with Microsoft telling you what you need. As far as on line gaming using headsets both I feel would be equal.
[HTC Rezound] Uzephi:
You can also upgrade certain parts of a PC to be comparable to new consoles coming out instead of buying everything over again.

E.G.: I built my PC back in 2010. AMD AM3+ socket motherboard with SLI capability. Bought one video card (ATI 6950 HD) 8GB of ram (2x4GB) and an AMD Phenom II processor. 2TB HDD and BD-RW drive. Total was roughly $650-800

2012 I upgraded to meet today's games. AMD FX2 processor, upgrade ram to 4x4GB and added a second 6950 HD card for SLI. $300.

If I had to buy a new console it would have been more expensive to upgrade.
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
Yup, its a $150 upgrade every 3-4 years.
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
4 years ago i bought a 360 for $300 came with 3 games and an extra controller 120gb (which is now down to 80) games that i bought at $60 maybe 4 of them, the rest i wait till they are lower 30 to 40 area.

haven't had to "upgrade" still get to play all the latest games, not suck with steam as my only place to play games with my friends. i cant see how a pc is better other than the visual effects and the uncomfortable position of the fingers and wrist.

for the "kids talking $hit" you can always mute, like a pc does.

now that being said i do play SOME games on my pc. RTS and other games that consoles SUCK at. but for FPS, Adventure, RPG, classics. i have to go with console.

**EDIT: but you also have to take in account that im not the same age as you. i am 28, live on my own, have a 40+ hour job a week. so i bet i play way less than you on video games, enough so that i dont really care about running it at 100 fps and 4k res on 5 screens. i would say, yes back in the day i was all about PC and having the latest and greatest, now not so much. :/

and im in no way of saying console is better than pc. its all about preference, sure i would love to dump 2k into a rig. i cant. i have to many bills to pay and mouths to feed to be doing that also.**
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
You totally missed my point, PC gaming is cheaper.
[HTC Rezound] Uzephi:
I am 25 with a 55+ hr/WK job and three other mouths to feed. I still prefer a PC. You aren't limited to a KB/mouse on a PC. They do make USB controllers in bargain bins exact same looks/feel/buttons as PS and Xbox. I picked up the Xbox lookalike for $10. Had it for 3yrs and still works. Then again, for the past year and a half I only get maybe one hr game time a week.

And we do know right now you haven't needed to upgrade, but once the new MS and Sony consoles come out, you will need to choose to upgrade to play new games or keep on playing your old games. Our PCs will still work. ;)
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
how is it cheaper? i paid less for the console, less for the games, never have to upgrade. even with the $35 a year for live its still less.

even with your pricing lets break it down:

$1200 starter +$150 upgrade

my

$300 + 4 games at $60 + 4 years of live at $35 each

$680 my cost.

thats half of what you got. + all the 16 games at $20 used games i bought

still only 1k investment.

(this is just from a cost perspective.) if you want to go with better GFX, more accurate mouse, type able keyboard that is something different.

we are doing COST

---------- Post added at 11:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:10 AM ----------

its not like my xbox will just stop working when the new one comes out.

that will be my upgrade at the time another $400 and the cycle starts over.

you get a better rig for another 1k ect....
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
We told you not to get your hope up lol. I even said the 15th...
[HTC Rezound] Uzephi:
I only did $800 starter and $300 upgrade to be able to play future games coming out soon.

you are still not factoring in the $500+ you need to fork out for the new consoles that my computer is already on par with. I have never played over $50 for a game. I usually pay $30-40 for new games and even less for used games.

I don't need to pick and choose which console I want for which games come out for it. If a game is good enough, it will be out for PC. With a PC, I can even play older games that most consoles won't let you do without doing some hacking to it.

About your previous steam statement, I do not have a steam account and do just fine playing the games I want.

Edit: $800 is for my personal rug foxr HD video editing. I am sure I can get bargain deals on old technology for less than $350 to play modern games decently. CPU/motherboard combos can be as low as $75 and they are comparable for PC gaming. Some video cards are near free after rebates. These can play recent games flawlessly.
