[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
Well that is a good sign. At least there's a chance of keeping my Rezound if I decide to give Verizon the finger and leave..

For some reason, I just really like this phone.... not really sure why anymore to be honest...
[HTC Rezound] JustSomeDude:
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought they were not compatible, since Verizon LTE was on 700 mhz, but Sprint was on 1900mhz (and will include 850mhz when they reclaim the Nextel iDen spectrum in the next few years)... no?
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
Its probably programmed to only run on vzw or sprint
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Yeah since its a CDMA device, theres no way you could get the Rezound to work on Sprint even if it had the same frequencies.
[HTC Rezound] dottat:
Not so sure about that. Sprint and vzw both use cdma. When I was on sprint I spent more time on vzw towers than sprint due to lousy sprint coverage
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
you can roam, but the imei is programmed to run on sprint/vzw only. no way you could run one on the other, w/o imei spoofing which is illegal
[HTC Rezound] Evocm7:
True, but I just flashed the 00001 prl on my og evo and used only Verizon towers. :D
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
Yeah. But still. Same frequency, unable to use on another carrier
[HTC Rezound] dyetheskin:
wonder if we can switch to sprint towers. signal is horrible around my house
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
you can move a vzw phone to sprint. you would need a cdma editor. I've done it before for metro and sprint. its a pain but it can be done if you get the correct information.

side note: vzw and sprint dont like you trading company's with there branded phones. if someone were to pick up on it, they will flag you mime.

[General Questions and Answers] orfius christ:
Hi guys, I've been searching for this answer a lot recently and were hoping all of you fine users could resolve it for me.

You see right now I'm on Verizon and I want to switch to Sprint for a cheaper line (and for the new Evo,) but my mom wants to stay on Verizon. Today we tried getting the 2 yr. Contract Evo on Amazon and it told her it would have to cancel out her whole Verizon contract, which we don't want. So is it possible for her to have the Verizon and Sprint lines both under her name with out canceling the Verizon one?

So i'm getting fed up with sprint atm since i use my phone alot and while originally my service was great the 3g speed now are unbearable due to how often i need to access files from my servers and just general usage, I'm contemplating on waiting to get an iphone 5 or Grab the Galaxy s3 right now. I've used an iphone 2g before i upgrade to the HTC evo 4g and i say i like both operating system. But i do like how integrated everything is in iOS. =( oh decisions decision.

There's no way I could warrant waiting for an unannounced device period, even a nexus. I say go for the gs3 u can't lose
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] thacounty:
The iphone 5 is already out. It's called the 4s. Orig Iphone, Iphone 3g, 3gs, 4, 4S = 5. I wouldn't get the 4S I would def go with the GSIII. I am getting a new iphone when they come out to sell on Ebay to the people who are willing to pay way too much for overnight shipping, but I'll be keeping my GSIII for me to use.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] reaganSMASH:
Hahahahaha! Okay, now that that is out of the way, GS3 for sure. I too used to use iPhones.. 3/4. Then my buddy showed me a GS2 rooted w/ custom rom. Sold. Got the GS3 the day it was released and gave my iPhone 4 to my girlfriend. Obviously, I hate her. I digress though, I love my GS3 and I do not regret the switch. Running custom ICS AOKP rom and I love it!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] WattB006:
That is a no brainer imo. I used to have an iPhone and they don't even come close to the SGSIII. If you like to customize your phone you have to go with the SIII or another Android phone but the SIII is the best on the market I think.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mystax:
hrmm guess i'll skip on the iphone. Hrmm since i'm stayong android that bring me to the question of unlock galaxy nexus on prepaid or subsided s3 on att hrmm.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TheFiveDots:
I went through a similar thought process recently, coming from 4+ years with an iPhone (3G & 4). Made the switch because a) I was bored (not necessarily rational, but always fun to try something new, plus girlfriend needed a new phone), and b) I wanted a bigger screen. I can tell you now that the iPhone 4 feels far too small in my hands and I couldn't go back. Keep in mind that there is a 0% chance the iPhone 5 will have anything larger than a 4" screen, so that may make your decision easier if that is something that is important to you.

I do not regret my decision. At first I found Android side of things to be less "polished", but the customization couldn't be beat. But frankly, now that I've discovered CM10, I feel that I finally gave the phone I've always wanted. While some of the TouchWiz features were neat, I feel that Samsung's theming, etc. really cluttered and complicated things, and that vanilla Android is much more on par with the iPhone in terms of polish and ease of use. I really question some of their design decisions.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ogubodagris:
I had that exact same question... i decided on the sgs3 with att because I expected cyanogen to be developed for it, and I knew it could be rooted easily. Plus it is a really badass chunk of hardware...

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] brekec88:
I moved from sprint to at&t like 2 weeks ago. Costs the same. Better data speed , coverage, phones and customer care. Only regret is not switching along time ago. AT&T for the win!

I had a 4s and a gs2 on sprint. Now I have a hox and a gs3. Never going back to an iPhone. Restrictive OS. Boring and dull UI. ITunes. No Widgets! No I'm good on all that.only good thing iPhone had going for it was great camera and battery life. IMO maybe android wasn't better in like GB form (even though I think it was), ICS and JB are wwwwaaaayyy better than OSX.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mike123475:
what do you mean by how everything is intergrated in iOS?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bravomail:
as a phone Samsung was always better than iPhone. Battery is replaceable and memory is expandable. AMOLED screen.

iPhone 5 is a big unknown. Remember antenna issues? Or yellow tint screens? Or sudden cracks on the case? Wanna be Apple beta tester?

iPhone 4S got great battery life, smooth OS and tons of apps going for it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Motokorth:
I say wait for the "iPhone 5" if you can and then see what the Samsung response to that phone is =)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bcn17:
Do you like to tweak your phone?

If you want to play with your phone, and have as much control over how it behaves as possible then get an android phone hands down.

The reason I chose the S III was because I enjoyed my S I, and because I know there is a huge community around this phone that is working around the clock customizing third party ROMS. If you want to hack your phone, the S III community is the best. :D

I decided no more iPhones until they actually make a killer device. This hasn't been done since the iPhone 4. The iPhones are slower and do less. I say gs3 all the way until apple throws in 2gb of ram and a killer processor and graphics chip. I dislike lag and that's what the iPhone will ultimately get you (even the new one).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DeadGargamel:
As has been stated, this might not be the most neutral place to ask this question... still, here's my story:

I work in an office where *everyone* has an iPhone except me, with my faithful GS3. Previously I had an HTC Desire, which is a nice enough phone but doesn't compare all that well with the iPhone 4S... ever since I got my GS3, people are actually jealous of my phone (people that know nothing about cell phones) and are asking the IT guy why they can't have an awesome phone like me... lol

So long story short, the GS3 is superior to the iPhone 4S in pretty much every respect. Unless you want to wait to see what Apple cooks up for the next generation (and you can bet at this point in the game Samsung/HTC will stay ahead of them, they are already ahead), get yourself a GS3 - hands down the best smartphone on the market right now.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Red7521:
Gargamel has a point.. Wrong place to ask since this is a S3 spot. Though my input is basically the same. I had iphone lovers but once they saw my customization and showing them what the phone can really do they got on android. I also went through all iphones and also currently have an iphone 4 along side my S3. Let me say LTE on AT&T is great.... Iphone got 4.xx MB/S while my S3 got 60 MB/S. I use my S3 more than the iphone lets say that lol. I run into so many iphones with problems it isn't even funny. I do repairs on them on the side for fun.

Any Rogers HTC One X is rootable via HTC Dev Unlock. All you have to do is unlock it via HTC Dev and flash a custom recovery as well as the SU binaries.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] brockkk:
am i the only one who sees no reason for unlocking the bootloader? we have a perfectly functioning workaround.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xsteven77x:
Perfectly is an overstatement. It kinda sucks and we don't have a ton of development cause devs frankly don't want to deal with it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jaben2:
We do have a good workaround, however we shouldn't need a workaround.

Hopefully this goes somewhere, and Verizon has to fork out some more of that money of ours.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheDiabolicaL1:
What was the outcome of this letter? It was pre Nexus S, so I assume it's been dealt with?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Rolo42:
Workarounds are a stop-gap, duct tape, a rubber band and bubble gum, and should be temporary. Many (myself included) don't want to deal with it and it isolates us from a significant part of the dev community. One of the reasons I wanted the SIII is for its large, wide-spread attention...but ours is gimped.

The bigger issue is that VZW won't stop at bootloaders; how long before they lock everything?

The biggest issue is VZW is doing an end-run around the law.

The reason why we are "drama queens" is because Verizon is violating the law and is telling us that they could care less about that they locked the bootloader even if it violates the Block C since they can somehow get away with stuff like that.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Vorfidus:
Yeah, well. They claim that an unlocked bootloader shaves a few seconds off boot time. But it also has the ability to prevent bricks, and it makes development more open-ended. Right now all of vzw's custom rom devs have to bake kexec into the rom, which require extra work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kmoore11:
To everyone saying that some people here are drama queens, look at all the development the international version has: http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1566. Just about all I see on that page is ROMs, ROMs, and more jelly bean ROMs. The locked bootloader has turned devs away from our version (as many people have already said). You may be happy with CM10 and a kexec workaround, but a lot of us want more options.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Rolo42:
Did Motorola have an agreement with the FCC prohibiting such activities?

If it doesn't stop now, how long before your recovery also becomes locked?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] brockkk:
International version had a jump on Verizon. Hell every other carrier did. I browsed the first page of at&ts development and counted 7 ROMs Verizon had 4 on their first page. And don't even bother looking at sprints development section. This is all getting blown out of proportion.

I honestly dont mind the boot loader thing all that much. I mean all I really want is JB based TW when it comes out and thats all. With that being said if someone wants to take Verizon to court and try to get the thing unlocked be my guest! I will 100% support what you wanna do and just all it a day. I havent read through this entire thread but if there really are people arguing I just think you should let it go. Its not you going to court and if it benefits you in the long run then isn't that a good thing? Idk thats just my two cents on the subject.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] brockkk:
im not ok with someone telling me what software i can run on my phone, which is why i rooted it and why i am currently running cm10 with zero problems with a custom kernel. if there was no way to get these things on my phone i would be upset... but there is a way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TechSavvy2:
I really am Sweden in the argument here, but you might need to rethink your statement about the amount of roms for international / unlocked US variants of the phone. Other US carriers had a jump on us? So you're going to blame it on 4 days - 2 weeks? How good do you think these devs are? I don't care what anyone's arguments are, I'm also jealous of the amount of selection in development "the other guys" have. No arguing that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] james denoil 19:
thank you...nice post
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] drbobmd:
I agree on the fact we need an unlocked bootloader for optimal functionality improvement. I'm pretty sure my d3 hit the skids because the bootloader somehow corrupted (I could be very wrong, as this is only my theory) and might have been repairable otherwise. And our devs who work for FREE shouldn't have to deal with nonsense workarounds to provide US with awesome toys to play with. Its a bunch of crap and a slap in the face to them. That being said...

As consumers we made a choice to purchase a device/plan with Verizon on our own free will, no one pointing a gun or crossbow at your head (unless your only option is mommy and daddy's family plan, then sucks to be you). And with that choice we have to abide to their rules by means of the contracts we have signed to use their infrastructure that they build and maintain. We all know they aren't fans of people having too much fun outside of their direct control as is proved by this boot loader dilemma, but that's why we have the community. If you don't want to deal with this, don't sign a contract with Verizon. And getting into flame wars over this heated issue isn't going to do anything except make Verizon laugh and say "watch the little ants quarrel, how cute." If you really want to piss them off, focus your energy on finding an BL unlock method and stop wasting it fighting like kindergadeners over the tub of glue cause we all know from the Moto experience how far that gets us. :)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skennelly:
Verizon absolutely has the best nationwide coverage. I travel for work and cannot have the piss poor service that AT&T or Sprint offer. My sister lives in the suburbs of Chicago and recently uprgraded to the OneX on sprint. She constantly drops calls, has no LTE 4g, and pays an extra $10/month/4g phone which they don't even offer now. So not signing with Verizon is not a solution.

All phones have an end of life cycle for the carrier. A time when the phones will stop receiving updates. Look at the OG Droid. With an unlocked bootloader and tons of dev support, there are people still using that phone today. If the bootloader remains locked, we will have limited development for this phone (don't mistake this as a lack of appreciation for the devs working with this phone). The development will be strong for the first 12-18 months and then slowly die off. The small amount of devs working on this phone will move on to new devices. Now we will be stuck with our locked bootloader, no more dev support, and certainly no more updates from Verizon. We will be forced to either deal with our current Android version, or upgrade to a new device.

An unlocked bootloader will make this phone last nearly forever. Many people will still upgrade to get the latest and greatest hardware. However, I preordered this phone to keep my unlimited data. I purchased this phone assuming the bootloader would be unlockable (like all other Samsungs) and this phone would be like the OG Droid and have the ability to last 3,4,5, or more years IF I CHOSE TO KEEP IT THAT LONG. I am not excited about paying $600 + for a phone to keep unlimited data and wanted a phone that I could use a while. I'll admit that my only knowledge of kexec is very little and have only heard of it from owning a Droid X. The work arounds on that phone were not good. Poor battery life and buggy as hell. The S3 may be better, but that has yet to be seen. However, it is still early and the bootloader still might get unlocked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kmoore11:
Alright lets simplify this a bit...

Advantages of unlocked bootloader:

Easier for devs to make custom ROMs

More developer support

Less risk of bricks

Faster boot times

Consumers get the best ROMs while staying on the best network

Advantages of the status quo:

Verizon wouldn't have to do any extra work

This is all very simple. We like that we have the ability to flash JB ROMs through the kexec workaround, and are grateful for those who made it possible, but an unlocked bootloader would make things easier for everyone involved. Who wouldn't want that?
