[HTC Droid DNA] tallnerd1985:
Man, are all HTC a pain in the ass to unlock and install custom recovery or is it this phone?
[HTC Droid DNA] PhantomApollyon:
I wouldn't see why not. The person that bought it shouldn't have an issue at all, it's the person who sold it that will have the issue.
[HTC Droid DNA] MicroMod777:
It was complex. There was one step missing to check ur phone.

I think hacking Android onto my old XV6900 was easier than this mess :)
[HTC Droid DNA] xpent:
Honestly, it's not HTC's fault that getting the thing unlocked and rooted is so hard. It's Verizon. They want to control what their customers do so badly, they limit what the phones can do. Takes longer to get around it, but you still get the same results in the end.

Just got mine- staring at it along w/ the charge pillow wondering how the hell this is all in my hands for 99 bucks.. This thing makes my rezound seem like a 6 yr old phone.
[HTC Droid DNA] another581:
I wish Verizon chose a different color for the side grills to make it more distinguishable, instead of just having it black and red entirely. But the DNA is just too sexy even without that and the ugly Verizon logo.
[HTC Droid DNA] sistemacaido:
I just wish a 'one-click' method comes out soon. The wifi notification and lack of root is killing me.
[HTC Droid DNA] Tsoflyyup:
Its pretty easy once you do the unlock exploit everything else is easy as pie.... As long as you can follow instructions without distractions its a piece of cake.....

Overnight.
[HTC Droid DNA] Shamrock13:
Luckily, I was smart enough to check the tracking on FedEx's site because it said "Indirect signature required" which made me promptly put a note on my front door for it.

Also, I left the FedEx person a little bag of Christmas cookies my sister made the previous night. I hope they enjoyed them. :D

Funny story (to me anyways).. My wife saw my emp edition sitting on the charging pad in the kitchen. She proclaimed that the charging pillow (not the phone) was absolutely hideous. Like she actually gets mad looking at it and wanted me to hide it far far away.. Heh- I tried to explain to her how it kinda rules but she's not having it.. I've had tons of gadgets around the house for a long time- this is the first one that brings her true anger.. Weird right?
[HTC Droid DNA] wolfedude88:
Well to help you out and make your wife happy I'll take one for the team and take it off your hands.
[HTC Droid DNA] lazarus2297:
so this is more a question about the charging pillow... I have the LG charging pad and would like to have another wireless charging solution for my office.. i see that the nokia charger is $49.99 and the fatboy pillow charger is $59.99... i know that the only difference is the "pillow" pouch thingy.. i was just wondering what the pillow pouch felt like.. I tried the nokia stand at the store and it wasn't difficult to use but the "landing" area definitely wasn't as easy to hit as the LG pad..

Also I think this the charging status being "usb charging" is the nature of the beast when using wireless charging but just thought I would check and see if someone who has the nokia charger (fatboy or stand) could verify the charging status.. is it AC or USB? (found under battery settings at the top it should say charging and either (AC) or (USB)

thanks

Hey, if there's any employees thinking of selling I get first dibs, you can see clearly I was the first scavenger to show up on page 1 of this thread :P

[HTC Droid DNA] earthrocker:
for the guys asking about selling these phones, we already went over numerous times that apparently if they sell them, it's like a breach of agreement and they could lose their jobs.

stop asking lol
[HTC Droid DNA] earthrocker:
i'm not sure; i'm an employee but for a frnachise, so i didn't have a chance to get it..but a bunch of corp employees in here were saying that somewhere in the agreement it stated that it was grounds for termination if they sold the one they had or something..it's throughout this thread i believe
[HTC Droid DNA] worm-:
I haven't read anything saying you couldn't sell it. It's linked to order by employees, but it can be on any account. There are already a few for sale on eBay.
[HTC Droid DNA] Moose0721:
Wish us Canadians could pay those prices or even get the DNA!
[HTC Droid DNA] ballisticn8:
So its not the red dna but I should be getting my DNA tomorrow at an incredible cost of $free.99, no wireless charger included though :(

I didnt extend my contract, I didnt purchase anything outright, VZW is sending me a DNA as an alternative replacement for my Galaxy Nexus. :D

Keeping my unlimited data and a free DNA, merry f***ing christmas to me!
[HTC Droid DNA] sistemacaido:
Interesting... Did you push for the change or what?
[HTC Droid DNA] ballisticn8:
I didnt push for anything except when they brought up replacements that it not be a razr as spec wise the razr was inferior to the nexus. There is some sort of supply issue with Samsung batteries and back plates at Verizon, not enough plates with logos stamped I guess. :-\
[HTC Droid DNA] MicroMod777:
I saw the warning in the infomanager post. Jobs are very hard to get nowadays. Why risk it for a mere $500. Not worth it unless u want to quit.

---------- Post added at 02:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:22 PM ----------

I'm tech support and I would of NEVER agreed to that, let alone my supervivor. If this is true, u got very lucky.

I don't even think we got clnrs yet for the DNA. Don't see how its possible. I need to check Friday.
[HTC Droid DNA] gitku:
Check EPP policy .. it actually states that vzw employees can't sell any phone before the contract ends for a profit...its in there
[HTC Droid DNA] ballisticn8:
The device they wanted to send was an s3, once again, offered to me without me even asking to be switched. I was surprised at the offer of the s3 and I immediately and might I add gratefully accepted. The s3 back plates and battery are back ordered. The next closest device screen size and resolution wise with nfc is the dna even if it is considered an upgrade. I'd also like to add that my issues with my phone were well documented and I was also sent three entirely crap clnrs, one of which needed to be re flashed as even factory resets wouldn't allow the phone to boot up.

I was seriously psyched about the offer of the dna though. I couldn't believe the guy offered it let alone that it was approved.

Anyone wanting to trade for a verizon iphone 5?
[HTC Droid DNA] pwrdbykyank:
Just for clarification for all those who keep asking if its ok to sell a EMP edition phone from verizon, YES ITS OK. Most of managers and supervisors did not explain accurately to the employees what the restrictions on it really are. I personally called and spoke to a supervisor in corp. HQ verizon and he told me it is ok to use a EMP phone if your not an employee and an employee can sell an EMP phone if they like. They just are not allowed to sell it to a customer at the store as an in store sale to a consumer. If the employee purchases the phone for themselves and does not want to keep it, they can sell it. ( verizon has no right to tell anyone who bought with their money a phone they are not allowed to sell it) that would just be a paperweight. The terms are just that someone cannot go into a verizon store and purchase a limited edition device, they would have to find someone who doesnt want theirs and get it from them. (This cannot be done in store also). For anyone else worried about activating it (dont go to stores since all the employees are so scared about doing it) just call CS and ask them to place it on your account. They will gladly do it.

I've got me a red one and a red pillow coming, should be here Monday. I am excited and hope everything works good on it.

So to those that own a red one already, is the back the same texture and feel as the black one? I know the butterfly J back on the red and white is the glossy finish. Based on the few pictures I have seen of the red DNA it looks like the same back as the black one.

[HTC Droid DNA] thepiombino:
Hello, everyone! This is my 1st post here. I've been lurking for a while and decided to finally register.

I picked up this phone on the night of the 13th, had it shipped two-day and got it early the following week. I haven't had much time to mess around with it as far as unlocking/rooting/flashing/etc, but I plan to do so soon.

All I know is that this is A LOT of phone for $99 and that's not even including the charging mat. I think it looks pretty damn sexy too.

Anyway, just wanted to drop by and say hi. I'm sure I'll be running into a bunch of you shortly once I decide to get down and dirty with the phone.

P.S. Coming from a GNez on VZW

P.P.S. No, I don't want to sell this phone. My job is worth way more than you're willing to pay, so don't even ask lol :p
[HTC Droid DNA] MicroMod777:
It takes like 1 to 2 years to find jobs now so technically we could sell it for $150k to cover 2 years pay. :D
[HTC Droid DNA] jayochs:
the red is sick, but i think it's a little too bright for me, so i got the black. i'm an employee, but not a corporate one, so i didn't even get the chance to get this deal anyway :( that, and i bought it off contract full price lol..but i do want that wireless charger!

[HTC Droid DNA] thepiombino:
I'm still not sure how I feel about the charger. I don't think I would have pulled the trigger on one if I had to pay full price, but as a throw-in it's a no brainer lol. That said, I'm considering selling it. It's just doesn't charge fast enough to warrant the real estate it takes up IMO.
[HTC Droid DNA] wolfedude88:
To those who have the red DNA, is it a lot darker red than you thought it was going to be? I was a little shocked when I first got mine, I thought it would be a little brighter, I am really glad it looks the way it does. It is a nice red and doesn't look for the lack of better word "girly".

Here is an image of what the limited edition droid DNA should look like. It'll have a red back instead of the normal black one just like the J butterfly, as well as "limited edition" written on the front with the number, just like how it is on the limited edition droid RAZR employee phones.

I'm gonna be getting this phone thru my brothers employee account now that my upgrade is available. You really can't beat getting a top of the line super phone for $99...That's 50% off the regular contract price!
