Intriguing...I know a verizon employee who is quitting soon. I'm going to ask her if she knows anything about this.
[HTC Droid DNA] MicroMod777:
The wait is killing me. I want my Dna !
[HTC Droid DNA] tallnerd1985:
Tomorrow night :)

I am staying up til midnight unless they are going by EST then I will try at 9PM
[HTC Droid DNA] Tsoflyyup:
How you know its coming out tomorrow?
[HTC Droid DNA] MicroMod777:
He's got super powers. I hope he's right.
[HTC Droid DNA] bmac_0021:
So did you call employee accounts on the phone and they told you this? I researched VZWEB and INFOMANAGER all day to try and find out but I didn't call employee accounts. I work at the MAll 205 store in Portland. I noticed you're in Vancouver. I'm pumped to order this tomorrow if you're right! :fingers-crossed:
[HTC Droid DNA] Tsoflyyup:
Exactly, i see nothing but December. No specific dates...but if you guys find out, please post the release date.....

Anyone know if anything is diff besides the back color like bootloader s-off wise?
[HTC Droid DNA] bobdude5:
i wonder if it applies to bestbuy employees as well. I have a verizon employee line that im paying 35 a month for with 5gb of data and i never ordered the phone because i won a verizon galaxy s3 meaning i still have an upgrade.
[HTC Droid DNA] Droid_ALM2ND:
Here's the official look of the device. Sitting here waiting as well. I really want my Red Droid DNA!!!!!
[HTC Droid DNA] jreed2560:
What you're talking about is a concession line and those are for indirect agents. They have no contracts and you can't upgrade on them.
[HTC Droid DNA] goinflyn:
Its only for verizon wireless employees.
[HTC Droid DNA] Hag77:
So- it looks like I can get one of these 99 buck red editions if I want.. Would you guys call this a no-brainer? Seems to be a lot of debate about this phone and the n2- with the biggest gripe of the dna being app support for 1080p.. N2 is too big for my tastes- already have an ipad and 7" kindle fire hd.. Thinkin I may have to get this.. Currently rocking a rezound w/ a cracked digitizer.
[HTC Droid DNA] Ndaoud360:
You guys are acting like this version has a sd slot or something. It's just a color change from black to red.
[HTC Droid DNA] Hag77:
I was actually just referring to the fact that I don't think it's possible to buy a better phone for $99, but I could be wrong hence why I asked the question.. I realize there's nothing different except the color.. In other words, I may still have questions about buying this phone for 199, but for 100 off and throw in a wireless charger, it seems like an easy decision.. Maybe some would disagree with that and explain why, that's why I brought it up personally, but maybe you're referring to other posts.
[HTC Droid DNA] afipanic:
If you don't want it, I'll buy it off you :D
[HTC Droid DNA] adrynalyne:
I would do it and I am using a Note 2.

Only if app incompatibility is something you can look past, of course.
[HTC Droid DNA] TickleMeHomo69:
All apps that are incompatible for DNA I download them from a 3rd party source and it works.
[HTC Droid DNA] adrynalyne:
Yeah well, I am not talking about play store blocks. I am talking about when you install them, and they either do not work, or claim they are incompatible at that time (EA and Gameloft games did this).
[HTC Droid DNA] tehknics:
What makes them different? I haven't had any problems yet but it would be nice to know in case I run across one.

I want one! Any Verizon employees wanting to give theirs up or get one for me?

Sent from my cappy using tappy...
[HTC Droid DNA] Tsoflyyup:
So no one knows when yet huh?
[HTC Droid DNA] Droid_ALM2ND:
Well first off Red is my favorite color, secondly a lot of ppl aren't gonna have this model, and thirdly you sound like a hater lol:eek:
[HTC Droid DNA] tallnerd1985:
Ah crap, the release date got pushed back, arghhhhhh!!!!!
[HTC Droid DNA] Tsoflyyup:
Lmao what release date? Are u guys trolling theres nothing that shows when in december the employee edition dna will go live
[HTC Droid DNA] adrynalyne:
Nallterd1985 sees all, knows all. :D
[HTC Droid DNA] Tsoflyyup:
Lol riiiiiiiiiiiiiight....i played with a dna and note today...both beautiful devices but that note is just toooooo big....i need some aosp love tho coming from a nexus
[HTC Droid DNA] tallnerd1985:
It got pushed to mid December but hopefully there will be AOSP by then :)
[HTC Droid DNA] jonathan3579:
Funny that the picture with the red back is what Asurion has on their site. I'm totally okay if they accidentally send me a red one.
[HTC Droid DNA] MicroMod777:
What??? Noooooooo.
[HTC Droid DNA] Ndaoud360:
I'm not trying to be a hater just sayin that people keep repeating "When is it going to come?" and it feels like poeple think that it's more than just a color change.
[HTC Droid DNA] Droid_ALM2ND:
Ahhhhh OK lol. I'm sorry bud. What I'm (and others whom have the opportunity to get this device) are excited about is it being $100 off. We pay $99 and get a color change (which is very exciting for me cause like I mentioned red is my favorite color and this will be my very first colored device other then the grays and blacks I'm use too ). Then on top of that we get a "free" Fatboy wireless charging pillow (which I'm also excited about cause I've yet to have a phone with this capability).

Spec wise its the exact same device. We're just excited about the extra perks and price. DNA plus Fatboy pillow would be $299.99 for the average consumer. Us with employee accounts would be dumb to go out and get a standard DNA when we can sit, be patient, and have a exclusive colored phone that a lot of ppl won't. Are resale value of the device will be a little higher as well
[HTC Droid DNA] Ndaoud360:
Wow didn't realize it came with a wireless charging pad and forgot it was 100 off to good deal. But thats on contract where I wouldn't have been able to do since my contract is not up and I bought DNA outright.
[HTC Droid DNA] Droid_ALM2ND:
Yeah its too much of a good deal to pass up. I'm just getting tired of waiting. I might pick up a Note II for 14 days lol. And I understand that. I use to change phones every 3-6 months so I had to buy some right out ( that cycle ended with my GNexus lasting a full year) but we get yearly upgrades too. From my understanding we'll be able to upgrade this year, next year, and after that 2013 upgrade even us on employee account go to the "New every two" upgrade situation.

Anyone correct me if I'm wrong
[HTC Droid DNA] MicroMod777:
Just tried to order, not available yet!! Dang
[HTC Droid DNA] lolspin:
Concession lines today are contracts. 1 year contract with $100 off Verizon 2-yr contract price. Standard ETF up to $350. New equipment is eligible for upgrade 10 months after signing up. Migrations from consumer lines can be done 6 months after last upgrade and can be upgraded 1 year after last upgrade.
[HTC Droid DNA] ApolloDeus:
Where's the source?
[HTC Droid DNA] xxfallacyxx:
I just want a DNA, but I'm stuck paying full retail to keep my unlimited data for the time being. $599, or I would happily buy a VZW employee's DNA haha
[HTC Droid DNA] jreed2560:
You guys want an official picture?
[HTC Droid DNA] MicroMod777:
Hook us up!!
[HTC Droid DNA] jreed2560:
here ya go
[HTC Droid DNA] killahrey:
Damn it I want one so bad! I saw a guy selling one of the original razr employee edition on craigslist not too long ago, first one of these I see will be mine!
[HTC Droid DNA] adrynalyne:
Is that a grey one next to it? I actually can't tell what it is from that picture.
[HTC Droid DNA] jreed2560:
Its the employee version of the HTC 8x
[HTC Droid DNA] TickleMeHomo69:
Do you have a bigger picture or you can right click the image of the red DNA and click save image and post here so it will bigger.
[HTC Droid DNA] jreed2560:
I don't work for vzw. I have someone on the inside ;) and I don't want them to put themselves in a bad situation. So blurry can is all I got

Edit: Posted a bigger picture
[HTC Droid DNA] klarson:
I'm assuming it can only be bought on contract right?
[HTC Droid DNA] Droid_ALM2ND:
Hope this pic comes out bigger.... "Testing"
[HTC Droid DNA] Droid_ALM2ND:
One more time....
[HTC Droid DNA] Despyse:
Does that say something right under the camera? It kind of looks like small grey text... probably says something stupid like "Not for resale"
[HTC Droid DNA] MicroMod777:
Ahh that was found in vzweb. No date release there either.
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
Iirc it says something along the lines of "special edition number xxx"
[HTC Droid DNA] ApolloDeus:
Damn I want this phone....can't wait.
[HTC Droid DNA] huskers15:
Why is the special edition only for employees? Will they eventually sell them to the public?
[HTC Droid DNA] Tsoflyyup:
No employees only....
[HTC Droid DNA] leoingle:
My gf just talked to employee accounts, they said they dont know when the actual release date will be, but it should be before Christmas.
[HTC Droid DNA] jreed2560:
Phone will launch 12/13
[HTC Droid DNA] another581:
I don't need more color variants...I just want Verizon to offer an option to remove its logo on my phone. I am willing to give up 4G for that; I am serious.
[HTC Droid DNA] jreed2560:
Case = problem solved
[HTC Droid DNA] tallnerd1985:
If thats a big 1st world problem to you, you can always buy a unsubsidized model phone and use a GSM/HSPDA carrier if a logo bothers you that much, problem solved :)
[HTC Droid DNA] another581:
Well I would do so if I wasn't being enslaved by Verizon...
[HTC Droid DNA] dre4402:
Me too

[HTC Droid DNA] luke1333:
Just sold my s3 for $500 and just stuck with note II and dna. i might buy one of these or trade my old dna for one haha
[HTC Droid DNA] BlackHoleSlam:
A question similar has been asked I work for radio Shack and we carry Verizon and get large discounts on our phone bill under the employee place. Is there anyway I can get this phone through radio Shack?
[HTC Droid DNA] tallnerd1985:
Does it say Verizon on your paycheck?

If yes,

Then you can get the employee DNA

If no,

Then you can't get the employee DNA
[HTC Droid DNA] AcE XBOX:
I am about to list the S3 on ebay. Did you sell it on ebay or craigslist?? Are you a vzw rep? By any chance did you guys have a transfer from California by the name of Issac Cloud?

---------- Post added at 04:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:56 PM ----------

Log in on myverizon right now and check to see if you see the razr maxx hd and razr m employee edition. If you see it then you will see the dna... if you can't then sorry, you can't.
[HTC Droid DNA] Hag77:
Are you saying you "will see" in the future when it's available, or you "will see" it now? I ask because my vz friend is hooking me up- but I'm not counting on him to tell me when it's avail since it doesn't really matter to him.. I'll need to let him know.
[HTC Droid DNA] luke1333:
nope not an vzw rep but know several managers that might be able to get one. need to text them now lol

and sold s3 on craigslist for the $500.
[HTC Droid DNA] greekmanx:
I am a verizon wireless employee and can tell you the DNA is employee only it comes out for us on the 13th and will be 99 with a free fatboy wireless charger and in a all red color scheme
[HTC Droid DNA] luke1333:
can i buy one? :)
[HTC Droid DNA] AcE XBOX:
Thanks for the info! It's my day off today so I almost went to work to check infomanager for more info lol. Note 2 on the way.
[HTC Droid DNA] MicroMod777:
They finally update with the 12/13 date. Hope I can bill to account since I'll be past due by then! :D
[HTC Droid DNA] C-Lang:
Sick!
[HTC Droid DNA] XxSHaDoWxSLaYeRxX:
Got it for $99 and I don't work for them yay (my friend does nd got me one )
[HTC Droid DNA] AndrewH05:
That's cool, got any pictures?
[HTC Droid DNA] tallnerd1985:
Sure you got it for $99 already from your supposedly friend at Verizon even thou the phone doesn't launch until the 13th.

Nice trolling attempt :)
[HTC Droid DNA] Shamrock13:
My sister hasn't said anything about this, but do you know if the phone is going to launch online at the same time? I'm debating on if I want to sell my Nexus and buy the Note 2 or buy this phone.

The thing that makes me iffy on the Note 2 is the fact that I'll have to mod it for wireless charging by buying a lot of stuff, buy a charging pad, buy a new back plate to change that tacky VZW one, then root and remove a lot of stuff and then hope it gets unlocked or at least ROM support via touch recovery because ODIN is terrible.
[HTC Droid DNA] jreed2560:
This phone will only launch online. You will not see it in stores. Its for employees only. And if you're not on an employee accout you won't even see it online.
[HTC Droid DNA] Flandro:
Hey verizon employees, pm me. I will pay you $50 if you help me get this deal. Thanks.
[HTC Droid DNA] Shamrock13:
I wasn't sure if they did a retail channel release via a flyer then you call in or if they put it online like you said. Thanks for letting me know!

The official release date for this is Dec 13 2012.

not to be mean but somebody that buys this phone is not going to take only $50. they can sell for like $500+ easy so dont know what you are thinking

No point in trying to get an employee edition it has a unique serial and cannot activate on regular consumer accounts

I'm pretty sure it's a normal esn and SIM just special to who can buy one

Not an iPhone.....
[HTC Droid DNA] DevonL:
I work for a Verizon retailer and we haven't heard anything about this deal. I also asked our corporate rep about it and he too hadn't heard anything regarding it though he is checking into it for me. Unfortunately he doesn't have an upgrade as he said he'd just give me the phone if he did. He's 100% content with his gNex.
[HTC Droid DNA] jreed2560:
You wouldn't hear anything about this. You don't work for CORPORATE. I don't either, but I know someone who does. That's how I found out about it. And if your account manager doesn't know anything about it he must have skipped the email they sent out about it.
[HTC Droid DNA] DevonL:
Rep checked his email when I asked him about it and he said he'd get back to me on it. I'll see what he says the next time I see him.
[HTC Droid DNA] Droid_ALM2ND:
It real bud. Trust me. Can't confirm how I know cause I like my job. Corporate worker :laugh:

I already posted pics on this thread. Its in the system. Just can't order yet.
[HTC Droid DNA] another581:
Is it limited to one per employee? If not, reselling it after ETA would easily bring $200 profit per piece...
[HTC Droid DNA] renzo.olivares:
drool.....
[HTC Droid DNA] MicroMod777:
One per upgrade. If u got 10 upgrades u get 10.
[HTC Droid DNA] tallnerd1985:

[HTC Droid DNA] Droid_ALM2ND:
Haha. You think I'm kidding? Tell it to my employee email :victory:

When it pops up for order on the website on the 13th. I'll roll my eyes at you lol

trolling are we? I checked and it is NOT up yet
[HTC Droid DNA] Droid_ALM2ND:
Regular price. We dont get discounts buying phones full retail.

---------- Post added at 12:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:04 AM ----------

Nope. Got the email saying we could order it. The gray and yellow 8x as well. Order mine through an order form with overnight shipping. I mean damn if y'all work there y'all should know these things or have gotten the email. It won't be on the site until the official date which is the 13th
[HTC Droid DNA] Tsoflyyup:
Well considering i have been off work for about 6 hours maybe i missed it.....and i was just going to order online anyways once the device is up...since its not shipping until 13th anyway
[HTC Droid DNA] tallnerd1985:
Where did you find the order form Al?
[HTC Droid DNA] Droid_ALM2ND:
I got my email around 1:00pm. Do we work at the same center?
[HTC Droid DNA] PhantomApollyon:
Well....judging by your location listed here on XDA, I'd say WE DO work at the same center and I just triple checked my inbox/filtering and there is no such email or order form. Looks like a very successful trolling attempt to me.
[HTC Droid DNA] tallnerd1985:
I can concur, we haven't used order forms in over 5 years
[HTC Droid DNA] Tsoflyyup:
Hahaha....yea and i didnt get any emails at 1pm.... Troll indeed

yep, been a WHILE since I've seen an order form for anything like that
[HTC Droid DNA] MicroMod777:
We work for corporate. We get special powers! :D

Damn! I thought my concessions $25 a month for 1500mins and unlimited data/text plan was da bomb... I gotta keep buying the retail every time lol...
[HTC Droid DNA] MicroMod777:
Yep, only for adding an extra line with a used phone do we have to use order forms.

[HTC Droid DNA] PhantomApollyon:
Good for a laugh at the very least, needless to say there's been no PM yet ;)
[HTC Droid DNA] Ferradinho:
Lol. Pretty sure it's still not available. It specifically states 12/13 launch with no pre-order. I double checked vzw.com and nada.

I'll be online at midnight tomorrow hitting refresh until it lets me order. I'm going to pick up a few on my employee account. I might not even use it as my daily driver but for $100 I can't lose. ;)

Wanna sell one? :D

No one is trying to be a ****, we all are tired of the trolling and claims by people that dont even work for Corporate saying they were able to order the phone thru a mythical order form that doesn't exist.

One more day left!!! :D
[HTC Droid DNA] Tsoflyyup:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] t3chi3:
Two questions

Just dropped my GNex and the battery fell out. Put it back in and turned it on. Everything works.... except the screen. I can hear when I get a text but that's about it. Suggestions?

Secondly, nothing software about this phone is remotely stock. Unlocked bootloader, CM10 etc. If I can't fix the screen will Verizon still replace it? (I have insurance)

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lesicnik1:
I think you don't need the screen to flash the stock images.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tjotte:
Maby the screen connector got knocked out of its socket in the crash. IF you're handy you could try to find a dissasembly guide and reconnect it, on your own responsability of course. If there is no external damage and you are completely stock i would turn it in for warrenty.

Edit, oops.. Just read the last part about it beeing flashed and modded :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iLeopard:
Use the hardware keys ( volume rocker and power button) to restore back to stock and claim warranty
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
I hate to say this, but if you want your data, the toolkit have a nandroid function, allows you to make and save a nandroid to your PC, then you can flash stock and lock bootloader using fastboot..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] t3chi3:
Well I went to Verizon and in order to get a new phone I would have to drop umlimited data... not going to happen. My contract is up soooo bye bye Verizon, hello Sprint.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
If you buy a unsubsidized phone (pay full price) you will not lose unlimited data.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] t3chi3:
I'm aware. But I'm not willing to pay full price and the EVO 4G looks promising.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adamcooks:
Have you tried "Android screencast", a plug in for Android sdk. We used this on the double rainbow gingerbread for the sgs vibrant.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caseym:
This is probably more of a general Android question (as opposed to device-specific) and one that I've never been able to fully fix on any of my Android devices. When I change the dpi (currently on my RAZR HD XT926) it breaks several Play Store apps. Sometimes I can't download new apps because it will say "your device is not compatible..." and I can't even get updates to current apps I have installed. As soon as I change back to the default dpi and reboot, everything works perfectly. Is there a way around this when changing the dpi on an Android device?

Thanks,

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BillGoss:
Create a file /data/local.prop with permissions set to 644. Put this line in it:

qemu.sf.lcd_density=nnn

where nnn is the dpi. Reboot.
