[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
Just to clarify, I'm not content with the support Verizon has offered for this phone, I just realize that we cannot expect them to continue support. I am still not sure about the best avenues of communication with Verizon Wireless, so in a feeble attempt to get their attention, I write a short #openletter on G+.

A far as the official bootloader unlock, it is a little important. An example is the recently advertised CM installer (by the way, I do not have any insider knowledge about CM Inc.). The installer will almost surely be available only to devices with legitimate unlock ability. While the fireball is pretty much "a bit"-out-of-luck even if it did get official unlock, due to the inability to flash the boot partition while in recovery, at some point users need to convince Verizon Wireless to allow unlocked bootloaders for phones on their network. This is especially relevant to the many, many users who are wise enough to not tinker with their phones because of lack of knowledge. They deserve the opportunity to safely replace the legacy operating system on their phone, and this will only be possible if the carrier and manufacturer allow it.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] somerandomname1:
The open letter seems pointless, besides maybe allowing other people to see and take note that Verizon ignores certain customers. As far as our phone though, no point really. Anyone you reach through G+, Facebook, Twitter, Verizon's customer service contacts, etc. will have no real power to do anything. They just give the typical "sorry, we're doing our best" garbage. The message never reaches anyone important enough to actually do anything. The only way a message may get to them is if the user base is very large, but even if we all wrote to them everyday it wouldn't help. Not enough people for them to care. As you said, we're at their mercy. Just have to wait.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] junkmail9:
This is an excellent point I had not considered. I was not thinking about the larger issue, (nor am I savvy with the upcoming CM installer). Unfortunately, I have run into a few companies that have seriously dummied down their products because, as one tech support person told me, "some users may have a problem with the advanced features so we removed them." While I can try and understand that point, it was really frustrating because some advanced features I had come to rely on were removed in the product upgrade. Simply because some people could not comprehend how to use it properly? Is Verizon trying to protect us from ourselves, dummy down the phones for "the uneducated masses," or simply trying to force their customers to live with Verizon-installed bloatware?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] 24ky:
Okay I have My own say to this.!

Okay so I left AT&T network when I owned the HTC Inspire 4g and moved on to Verizon because there service was better in my area and I purchased the HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE as my first phone with Verizon, I came to like the phone because it was fast, snappy, and good on battery....... But I constantly waited for update to jellybean ( Sense 4+ ) which in reality would make the device more efficient and smoother than it was on Ice Cream Sandwich... And finally I heard the news that we were going to get an update to jellybean in the beginning of 2013.. But after so much time of waiting I finally gave up hope and said ***k the device and went back to AT&T...... and bought the HTC One XL because it recieved updates to sense 5. The device is like an older sibling to the inc4g with close to the same specs. I sold the Incredible 4g because I hated the lack of support for this device... The only good thing going for it was CM10 and the amazing sense kernel. This community deserves more than what has been given to them so far... So my question is why Verizon drop support for us.???? If this community received jelly bean j defiantly would sell my XL and come back to this community......

This is my only my concern.

Sincerely,

24ky
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] SynisterWolf:
Here is a weird thought. let your money do the talking. leave Verizon. if enough of us leave we dont need to "change their minds". i brought this up in an HTC elevate detection not to long ago ( also how come htc bent over backwards because verizon wanted the bootload unlock for the ONE removed). instead of open letters or angry tweets and emails, just take your money to someone that appreciates you as a customer? put your money into a company that understands the development community and is willing to support you. how do you think verizon got so good? the used to listen to their customers. now that they are self sustaining they dont need to listen to us anymore. but i bet if their wallet was hit the would. they would bring back unlimited data, remove the block of google wallet, ect....

You wouldn't take your car to a mechanic that does great work but also makes you spend $$ money on things that don't need to be fixed.

my $.02
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] somerandomname1:
This is my point from before. This is the only thing you can really do. I wish I could dump Verizon right now, but I can't. For now I'll just settle for never buying HTC again.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] SynisterWolf:
this too. maybe if HTC where to step in and help us it would be different.

OP not trying to troll or anything or start a war. i just wanted to get that out their. we do have an option to take our money somewhere else. or at least when this contract is over. ive said it before, i need unlimited data. i dont have wifi anywhere i work and im barely at home so if i have to give up my data plan i will give up my business too. im going to miss there unbeatable coverage but i cant stand to be hit in the balls over and over again with a smile on their face. :/
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] litetaker:
My 2 cents on this from bitter experience. You will get zilch. You will waste precious amounts of your life trying hard to convince a rigid management who can care so little they'd be happy to break your phone to pieces and hand you another from their stockpile of dinc4g's just to get rid of them ASAP. I've gone through the whole lot with BBB complaints etc. for the Droid X2 by Motorola. haha, wasted my life there. And the countless pleadings to release the ICS ROM that HTC clearly developed for the Dinc2 (Incredible S, international variant got the ICS update) only to get on the Verizon chopping block and get its head unceremoniously severed, taught me one thing and that is we as consumers have knowingly chosen this path, that will give us limited to no flexibility on customization to stay on VZW and we have to "deal" with it.

With all good intentions, I request all to keep your expectations rock bottom. You have better chances of going to the moon on a future Russian spacecraft than convincing Verizon as to why this may be a good idea.

Sincerely,

A disgruntled Droid™ user.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Linch89:
here has been my android experience. started on og inc oct 2010 first droid phone considered ''high-end'' at the time (8 mp camera saaaaay whaaaat??!) then dinc2 great phone but compared to the galaxy S II and the galaxy nexus at the time it was a ''mid range" phone. now with the inc4g it is very ''mid range'' compared to what is out now. the galaxy notes and s4's and the 50 different htc One(s). if you want many different roms to flash to fix your ''addiction'' go nexus or one of the mainstream phones. you will find 100 different "Unofficial CM10.X" roms with "user tweaks" and "kernel tweaks" that in all actuality are nothing more then a reposync from source. yeah they might have a few different mods but they are usually so similar that you will not/could not tell the difference. like someone mentioned earlier I would rather have a few solid roms. a good sense (viper) or if you're an aosp guy like me there's cm. I think anybody who saw the specs of this phone (incredible 4g) and thought, "hey this is going to be the next BIG THING." I'm sorry to tell you that you were mistaken. xda dev support of a phone is only as good as the devs that own the device, and in our case we have a very small amount of active devs.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] PrimePalaver:
So I am the a-hole that emailed mdmower. I apologize profusely. When I saw your first post, I almost slunk away in shame, never to show my face here again. I am not even being a little bit facetious. You do great work for a community of people and I abused (what obviously is) an important rule. And I'm really sorry.

In an attempt to redeem myself just a little bit, let me point out one thing that you might not know:

Actually, some states may have more favorable law here. First and foremost, many states have an unfair/deceptive business practices law that are distinct from the false advertising law. Example: New York has GBL Section 349 (trade practices), and 350 (Advertising). These are consumer-oriented statutes and so they have some bite.

On this point, while Verizon has never said they would provide us with Jelly Bean, there are some nice facts here like how many people were locked into 2 year contracts on a phone that Verizon stopped updating during their two year period. I've seen suggestions that Verizon is pulling this with older phones in order to force upgrades, and if true, that would be the basis for a claim. But here, I think the HTCDev unlock is actually pretty damning. We should be entitled to take discovery into the real reasons why Verizon forced HTC to remove the phone from the program. Given the repeated warnings about waiver of warranty, and the presence of other VZW phones in the program, it's hard to believe it's a support issue.

Finally -- of note is that the ACLU has filed an FTC complaint on this subject earlier this year. Unfortunately I cannot post the link since I just registered for this post (long time lurker) but it's the 2nd hit for "april FTC complaint android" (see pages 6-9) Their basis is the potential for security flaws which go unfixed. The relief they are requesting is pretty broad. I'm actually surprised that there haven't been follow-on civil suits already.

Anyway, I am really sorry again. I'm going to crawl back under the rock I came from now.

If it's any comfort: my punishment is that my D4INC is a flicker model. :(

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kitwolf:
Trying out safestrap for the first time and in rom slot 1 i want to run CM 10.1.3 Stable on Verizon Galaxy S4.

I'm so n88b i can't post outside links but the file i'm looking at is get.cm and a 200mb rom file jfltevzw cm-10.1.3-jfltevzw.zip

How do I compile this to work with Rom Slot 1 which is completely blank? Anytime I've flashed CM it has been over the current rom so there was no blank slot or partition.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] laodai76:
You must use CWM to up cook rom.

So I'm trying to get omega rom and this might be a stupid question but i want to play it safe.

Samsung galaxy 1900 omega rom will install perfectly fine on a sch-1535(verizon) right? I know i900 is a unlocked phone...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
Omega is an I9300 rom, if you install it on the i535 then you'll brick your phone, where does it say anywhere on that rom page it's OK to use on this variant?

Good thing you asked first, but only stick to ROMs in our development section. Anything that's posted anywhere else on xda will not work.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stoyno:
I was running JellyTime R11 on my phone and used the included flashlight app with the experimental 'power light' option for approximately 20 minutes and suddenly my phone turned off. I used a USB juicepack to charge my phone while lighting. I think, though, that this has to do nothing with each other and simply has happened at the same time. I technically cannot explain this to myself...

I tried to restart it but shortly after showing the launcher it turned off again. This happens always with the SIM card but without everything works fine. I also tried to fire up my DHD with a different SIM card from the same carrier without success. And I am pretty sure that the SIM is fine but nevertheless I have ordered one free of charge.

I heard that there is a problem with the case and it doesn't hold the SIM correctly in place but I don't find this forum again...

What could I do next?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stoyno:
Today my new congstar SIM arrived and I replaced it with my old one but I am still bootlooping (Android Revolution 9.0) and my logcat shows totally different last log outputs.

Is this a hardware problem? Should I open my DHD and have a look at the interior?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t0mas_:
there is a chance that something got fried in those 20 min. i think that option keeps tle flashlight lit on full power, which it was never ment to. that might cause thermal damage.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stoyno:
Mhm, it was already cold outside but that could be but the two LEDs are far far away from my sim slot?! The battery is still far away...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranger4740:
Isn't there a disclaimer while activating that experimental mode stating that it might cause damage to your phone, its been a long time since I used CM.

BTW yes it IS highly likely hardware damage has occurred because leaving flashlight on for 20 min on extream mode, bit silly IMHO.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stoyno:
I already found the solution for my problem--I just forgot to post it here...

Actually my battery died pretty suddenly and I did not noticed this. I just thought "my phone had a bad day". After replacing the battery with a fresh one everything worked again. As of today I am still using this battery.

The phone died with SIM likely because it needed too much energy and without it had no chance of using cellular network...

1 x XDA Exec on O2 250 with 50 messages (12mths).

Does it actually have to say 3G?? on It?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] findus:
I think if you have a U sign next to your signal that indicates 3G coverage, that is what it says on mine anyway. It seems a bit weird though that you've been having troubles with 3g

Hi, just to be sure if it's totally bricked, please check if the device manager of your computer detected your phone when you connect to it.

Yes, its totally bricked. The device manager doesn't detect the phone. My phone is model GT-N9300+ SSN:N9300+GSMH, I think that is a Feiteng.

I'm running a Rogers S4 rooted on the stock ROM. Had to root with Kingo as the motochopper and Odin options wouldn't work for me.

Thanks!

What problems did you have with Odin? Seems every time I set up either a new PC or new phone I'm battling Odin like a child again.

I went the same route as the first couple of posts suggest in the link above. Just make sure you follow the CANADIAN part. We have it easy. :)

CF auto root was nice and smooth for me, then ROM Manager to get CWM recovery. I only chose it because that's what I've always used. No need for change...

I've had great success with Slim, PAC, and currently Beanstalk 4.3 ROMs with my Rogers S4.

So ever since I've gotten the phone (9:00 am yesterday) all my calls have been showing up incorrectly when I am receiving them. I just wanted to know if anybody else has the same issue and what you did to resolve it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] foriesg:
I am so glad someone else is having this issue I've spent most of the day trying to resolve it. Ok, what I know so far:

It only happens on WIFI calling. I've cleared the wifi calling app no dice.

Customer service is unaware of the issue. They said use a different email account. UH NO I've had my gmail since it was in Beta.

I've reset my device twice it comes back after I re-install gmail I think it comes with the restore function I've tried stopping the restore function but it keeps coming back

Let me know if you fix it. I had a note two there may be a correlation
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tdoughone:
Same thing happens to me but only during wifi calling. No big
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aiqbal09:
Same boat guys. Only happens during wifi calling. Very annoying to tell you the truth. Any help would be appreciated.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jastep:
Ahh I see so that's what triggers it. I suppose they'll issue a fix once they find out what's causing it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] foriesg:
I have a thread on Google + it is somehow tied to wifi calling and to Google contacts sync. Anyway you have to clear the cache partition. Hold down volume up, home and power keys until you see Samsung note 3 then release just power until you are in recovery then chose volume down to clear cache and power button to select then restart you may have to factory reset the device

It seems fixed on my phone but a friend is still having trouble
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jastep:
Yeah that didn't work for me. I want to try re flashing instead of resorting but it just so happens that Kies doesn't support the note 3 yet.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gitaroo:
I think canada is getting the C6906 officially, which is suppose to work with every carrier. And C6903 and C6906 are the same beside the H 265 playback according to Sony white paper. So I would say yes.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 30Seconds:
I received my C6903 today and it works on Rogers just fine with 4G but you have to manually set the APN info.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sean473:
Or ask your network to send a configuration SMS... You just click it and don't have to do anything!
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AhsanU:
Canada is (most likely) receiving the C6906 model, which has the LTE band that will for for any carrier really. After some research, Rogers, Telus and Bell all require 700 MHz band frequencies in their phones to get LTE. Wikipedia in this sense is not a viable source of information. I'm a bit lazy but here's Bell's website claiming that their phones must have 700 MHz frequencies: http://www.bell.ca/Mobility/Products/4G_LTE_SIM_card

I spoke to a Bell representative and she very explicitly told me that the version of the Z1 they are getting will have the 700 MHz frequency built in, whether or not it is the C6906 model is something the representative could not answer. As such, it is very safe to assume that Canada is indeed getting the C6906 model.

I'm excited. I'll be getting a friend to purchase the phone outright for me and just ship it over to my ass in NYC. Sure would be nice if I didn't have to wait another 9 days! Would be even nicer if I could purchase the phone myself instead of having a friend do it for me.
