How would be PayPal, who is to be determined. "They" want a Moderator here to keep hold of the "pot" for the Dev or Devs that finally crack this thing. Even though the cash is a nice motivator and I wish the people that are working on this luck, if it can't be done it just can't be done. Wouldn't it just be nice to talk to the team who developed Verizon's firmware update and just ask for the "key" to unlock it, it'll be our little secret and Verizon doesn't need to know who leaked it.

Re: [BOUNTY][$415][3/25/2013]S-Off/Root For OTA 2.04.605.2 710RD

Reverse engineer what? The problem is Su not the bootloader. Cant push Su binaries into system due to write protection. If root is achieved standard HTC dev n facepalm will work

Re: [BOUNTY][$415][3/25/2013]S-Off/Root For OTA 2.04.605.2 710RD

I don't have any other phones with Verizon so I couldn't make due without this phone and also after seeing the video it is a pretty invasive process which I didn't know and I'm just not comfortable with that. It's a option though for those willing to do it.
[HTC Droid DNA] BoostinBen:
Well it just seems many aren't too optimistic about it being an ability. I didn't read the words "It won't happen," but I did read "It's unlikely."

Right now it's just a gamblers bet. Down the road another OTA may come out that is exploitable, so who knows? I mean I really like the phone but years of modding them really has me going through withdrawal now, hah. Not to mention the guy who runs/owns the JTAG service has yet to email me and another user back with some questions about his services.

[HTC Droid DNA] BoostinBen:
Was told this morning it's being actively worked on, so keep that optimism up. Join the IRC channel for all the latest info on it.
[HTC Droid DNA] UrGuardian999:
So I sent an e-mail to HTCDev inquiring why they are being adverse to dev's and withholding the release of the source. Pretty much the response was that they WILL release it sometime down the road but due to agreements [with Verizon I presume] they can't at this time. So.... eventually the source will released, hooray? I know all this was easy to assume already but I thought I'd share. If you want the full e-mail, just ask and I'll post.

Gotta' be patient, man. If you were on the IRC channel you'd read that they ARE working on it, though they also have lives. As one of them said "Nothing is impossible." They will figure it out at some point. When? Could be tomorrow, could be in a month, could be in three months, etc.

I've been in the IRC channel for 2 days and I've read them troubleshooting things for quite some time, albeit I understand very little about what they're talking about due to my rudimentary knowledge of cracking stuff like that, hehe.

What device if you don't mind me asking??
[HTC Droid DNA] CB620:
Note 2
[HTC Droid DNA] WizeGuyDezignz:
I'm not sure that's the right choice, you may be coming back like I did. I went from a dna to a note 2 and back to a dna.

The screen just isn't as nice and it's noticeable, the size grows tired and isn't functional in everyday use, you will start to never use the spen and while there is quite a bit of development, almost all of the roms are the same. And Touchwiz isn't as nice as sense imo.

I would have sold your dna and bought a rooted one off Swappa before moving to a note 2.

I hope I'm wrong but enjoy the device either way!
[HTC Droid DNA] CB620:
Na I won't be back unless I get a Red DNA. Getting my hands on one of them seems to be slim. Note 2 has more dev and waaayyyyy better battery life.

It's basically user preference as far as Sense vs TW. I've always been a fan of Samsung just based on not being held up because of a Bootloader. I try to give HTC a chance here and there but I get reminded why I always go back to Samsung devices. Only thing I miss on the DNA is the screen. With all the new 1080p display phones coming out it will be a thing of the past as far as resolution.

There is no way I'm paying someone to unlock my phone just to flash roms.

Best of luck to you guys. When the final refund goes through I will have this thread locked and deleted.
[HTC Droid DNA] orateam:
Friends with the Note 2 are only getting 1/2 day of usage. you'd think with that massive battery they'd get more, but not hearing great things.

My co-worker uses the phone nearly identical to me and I triple his battery life regularly. Found a battery life image from the note 2 forum, yuk.

So you started this thread on 3/23 and bail on 4/3 because of no progress? Really? What am I missing? I guess if there was some news I missed and there is no chance of S-Off at this point then fine, but otherwise it seems pretty weak not to keep it going or see if someone could take over the reigns. I'm S-Off already but I was really rooting for you guys and also in general just to keep dev progress going on the DNA.

I don't understand why people can't just give it time... It's going to happen eventually.

sorry, but i don't agree. At least not 100%. He had every right , and desire, to start a collection. He also had the right to be impatient and quit. I do not believe the forums (in general) have gone downhill because of all the impatience out there.

I do agree that some forums within XDA have gone downhill fast because of childish stuff that's not curtailed. But this particular phone along with most of the ones here are solid and useful and provide a great resource for us all.

I want to thank Charlie for starting the thread, collecting the money and strongly wanting our phone to be unlocked. He bailed, and that's ok. This phone will go on strong powered by the users that desire 1080p resolution today, quad core, 2gb ram, 5" superphone.
[HTC Droid DNA] n8mack33:
Yeah I thought it was really awesome that he took the time to try to make the community better so that is why it was surprising and disappointing for him to bail so quickly. He could have easily asked someone to take over the responsibility. And one thing I've learned is that you can't put timetables on this stuff so I would have thought that someone who was willing to organize a bounty would get it. That's the whole point of a bounty is that it takes time and the more time that passes the bigger the bounty gets. So at least the passing days don't feel so bad because progress is being made on at least some level.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] tbd@immigrantsong.de:
Ok, I guess quite a few of us are now usig the MDA/XDA II and have made our experiences. :D

I think it is time to start collecting the different bugs and "features", so that maybe the guys here can start fixing them. Maybe even O2/T-Mobile or HTC might startt doing something.

I'll start with my contributions:

1) SMS: The SMS-Application doesn't copy the "+" from the phone number when you select through the contacts application. See also: http://xda-developers.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=3198

2) Bluetooth: Right now, this seems to work mostly as a marketing gag, considering the very limited profiles supported. The list of missing profiles keeps getting longer, including HFREE, PAN and others. In fact, it might make sense to collect the experiences of successful bonds in a dedicated thread.

3) BT-Headset: Even when it does work, the performance is shaky s you can see here: http://xda-developers.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=3548

4) Phone On/Off: Turning the phone on/off seems to have gotten less user friendly than on the old MDA. Now you always need to get out your stylus, which can be quite a hassle when you are standing at the gate getting on a plane - with your suitcase in the other hand. See also: http://xda-developers.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=3553

5) Google: Ok, this seems to be a problem on almost all WM2003 devices when I look at all the suff on the web about this issue. Still, it would be nice if it would work :wink:

6) Wireless Modem: Well, you would expect that they include the driver on the CD wouldn't you.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] IvkovicD:
7. The MDA II closes open programms as soon as you open another large programm. Like a device with no memory. You cannot keep large programms open at the same time (e.g. Pocket Informant, PIE, Total Commander, aso.) , so they would be accessible more quickly if you choose them over an taskmanager.

It seems that my XDA II turns on spurious ( not often, but sometimes), which is not nice when having it in my pocket.

Does anyone has the same experince ?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] dajtw:
Not sure if this could be considered a bug, but I have yet to be able to receive a video MMS sent by either a P800 or a Nokia 7650. Have successfully sent one to a 7650 though. On the UK O2 network.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] NoBackUp:
sorry could not post a link !

but here is a hummdinger !

try the following hit the "Wireless" icon and note how long it takes for the dialogue box to pop up then hit the "Turn the radio off" hotspot.. You will notice much longer delays before it performs the task, the same happens when you have switched it off and then attempt to "Switch the radio on". A further prob is with the Volume control....do the following...call your voicemail "long" press the green phone key, now when the speakerphone is on , reduce the volume with the side "Slider" when it is at minimum try to increase it...it don’t work you can only use the stylus on the screen, if you allow, after reducing the volume, the dialog to disappear then try to increase the volume with the slider it works again, then if with the dialogue displayed you then end the call the dialogue will appear to be stuck on screen, and only disappear after about 10 secs...
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Andy:
same here. happens all the time and that´s not funny. Called O2 Tech Support and they said (of course) that i´m the first to report that problem. can´t really believe that.

it´s very annoying :(

Its good to see they sill use the same calender where next day means we dont have a answer so we wont bother to call you back

Buffer full / crash on transcriber/Notepad

8.) Buffer full / crash on transcriber/Notepad

Waring: Maybe you should do a backup before you try this....

How to cause:

- Go to Notpad

- Change to "Transcriber"-recognition

- Start to enter by writing normal letter/words: >> ok, works

- Try to "fill/paint the whole Screen" without (!) removing the pen from screen: After some seconds the Buffer will be full, constant Signal will apear if you touch the screen again

- Regognition won't work anymore

How to resolve the "full buffer" (seems to be the reason for me):

- Soft reset, okay

BUT:

- Xda2 behaves unstable afterwards.

You might get messages like this:

"camera.exe is not a valid apllication"

"media player is not a valid apllication"

So you need a "hard reset" with all the data gone.

(Maybe a sync is still possible - I didn't try this yet)

Okay, maybe not a Killer-Bug.

But now it's impossible to hand over the xda2 to my friends cause' they know how to "kill" my pda :-)

Don't know is it's a xda2-specific bug or caused by OS.
