This is true depending on the manufacturer of the device, but is true of most of them. When you take your phone into a Verizon store with an issue Verizon is essentially agreeing to be the intermediate between you and the manufacturer. Verizons terms and conditions allow them to refuse you service, replacement, etc., if you're rooted. Now then, that doesn't mean you can't fulfill warranty through the manufacturer directly, on your own (depending on their TOS).

The following is from the terms of service that 100% of Verizon customers are under, as I write this:

(2) if you, any user of your device or any line of service on your account, or any account manager on your account: (a) threaten, harass, or use vulgar and/or inappropriate language toward our representatives; (b) interfere with our operations; (c) "spam," or engage in other abusive messaging or calling; (d) modify your device from its manufacturer's specifications; or (e) use your Service in a way that negatively affects our network or other customers. We can also temporarily limit your Service for any operational or governmental reason.

Basically, if it didn't come rooted, then it violates their terms of service.

Just so everyone knows... Here is the TOS for Motorola. These two clauses basically say they don't have to repair your device if you root:

o. Damage resulting from any software virus or software including but not limited to, application programs, network programs, upgrades, formatting of any kind, databases, files, drivers, source code, object code or proprietary data, or any support, configuration, installation or reinstallation of any software or data.

and

e. Misuse, abuse, reconfiguration of equipment or improper movement of the equipment. Any utilization of equipment that is inconsistent with either the design of the equipment or the way the manufacturer intended the equipment to be used.

Here is Samsungs:

Abuse or misuse, including but not solely limited to the failure to use this product for its normal purposes or in accordance

with SAMSUNG's instructions on usage and maintenance.

It's important to note that Samsung (per their terms and conditions that you agree to) will only replace your device via the authorized dealer (Verizon) in which you get it. Alternatively, Verizon's TOS state that if you root it they won't warranty it. Long story short, if you root a Samsung and Verizon finds out, you likely wont get warranty support from either party.
[Moto X General] spc_hicks09:
Notice what is quoted though.

"modify your device from its manufacturer's specifications; or (e) use your Service in a way that negatively affects our network or other customers."

A: Rooting doesn't modify manufacturer SPECIFICATIONS.

B: Rooting doesn't affect their network or other customers negatively.

Verizon reps WILL tell you that if you rooted, you voided the warranty. However, the 2 points above, clearly dismiss their ability to say your warranty is void. They would have to

A: Prove that rooting alone, changed the device SPECIFICATIONS. Which it doesn't.

B: Prove that rooting alone negatively affects their network and/or customers.
[Moto X General] TCPDump:
Sometime ago there was an infected, side loaded APK that was being propagated around the Android community (there have been many). If you had root, and allowed the app SU access it would essentially start doing ping scans on the carrier network in search of other mobile devices on the same subnet. Long story short, it forced several carriers to reduce the private subnet range on their device address assignment to a /30 subnet. This means that two out of every four IPs on their private network are unusable by hosts. So, they are essentially wasting 50% of their network resources to protect consumers from devices that may be running rouge software. Needless to say they were not happy about having to waste network address space. This obviously had a large impact on other customers and their network. As such, root is the single factor that allowed the devices to behave this way, and as such was deemed (with very good reason) to negatively affect their network. This is one of many reasons that Verizon is so critical of root. Lastly, manufacturer specifications is not explicit to hardware. Software is also specced by manufacturers. Technically, any application that modifies the way that the software that was shipped on the phone behaves is a modification to manufacturer specs. So, rooting your device DOES violate your terms of service with VERIZON. As stated before, your manufacturer warranty may or may not by voided by rooting, depending on the device manufacturer.

For example, in the case of Samsung they extend warranty exclusively to certified partners (IE Verizon, AT&T, etc.), and as such do not void your warranty for rooting. HOWEVER, if you call Samsung directly for a warranty issue they will likely refer you back to their certified partner (the carrier), and if you have voided your warranty with the carrier by rooting they are in no way shape or form obligated to help you get a replacement from the manufacturer.

The whole point of even taking the to time write this is to ensure that people aren't getting a false sense of security and entitlement. Basically, I would hate to see people read this thread, go out there and root their phones with this, "its my right to root, its my phone, and its Merkia" attitude, and then get no support or warranty when they go to the carrier. Long story short, rooting DOES ensure that Verizon has no requirement to support you, offer replacement, or warranty of any kind. If you don't believe me ask the guy that started this thread.
[Moto X General] GandalfTehGray:
What app was that in the first paragraph? Or a article about this?
[Moto X General] KidJoe:
Did you verify this yet? I'm just curious because my VZW Dev X doesn't have Verizon Mobile Security and Verizon Remote Diagnostic, or Verizon Mobile Security app which my VZW Galaxy S4 and S5 have pre-loaded.
[Moto X General] TCPDump:
There are too many to list. Basically, a large number of pirated apps, in which malicious devs will decompile, hack the licenseing, add their own "goodies", recompiled and distribute. Some of them started listeners to communicate to other versions of the hacked APK to exchange information, etc. Due to the fact that a specific carrier has changed their network to a /30 per device means its no longer an issue. The point is that the carrier had to waste a great deal of network resource to eliminate the risks.

Hey KidJoe,

The Dev X definitely does not. Haven't had a chance to check the consumer model yet. Have one at the office, will check shortly.

Thanks!

Bill
[Moto X General] KidJoe:
Please do.

There is question in my mind because of the rom at http://sbf.droid-developers.org/ (which is said to be the VZW retail rom) vs the Dev Edition XT1060 request-able at Moto's site. They both have the same SYSTEM.IMG file (based on check sum and filecompare) implying the pre-loaded software is the same. The XML in each is slightly different, and the one from Moto includes their fastboot implying that either someone touched the ROM at sbf.droid-dev or that truly is the stock VZW X retail rom and shouldn't have those apps preloaded either..
[Moto X General] nhizzat:
I have a MotoMaker XT1060 still on 4.4 and don't see either of the Verizon apps mentioned above.
[Moto X General] SymbioticGenius:
Everyone in this thread should refer to the Magnuson Moss act. It basically states that a warranty provider has to prove an issue was caused by the user or their modifications instead of the product before they can deny a warranty claim.

However if it clearly states that rooting is against their TOS then Verizon shouldn't be able to deny your warranty but they can kick you off their network.

Note: I am not a lawyer. I also am no longer on Verizon.
[Moto X General] spc_hicks09:
Let me clear the air. In 1975, the federal government passed The Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act. While this act covers a lot of other warranty related issues, the part that applies to us is this: Motorola cannot void your entire warranty because your phone has been modified by rooting/romming. However, if your phone develops an issue (ex. bricks, won't turn on, etc) they (Motorola) have to prove that the failure was the direct result of your alteration. And then are not required to fix/replace your phone.

More specificially, let's look at law according to the Magnusson-Moss Act Chapter 50 of United States Code Section 2304 {Also attached, unabdriged}:

*

Quote

Waiver of standards

The performance of the duties under subsection (a) of this section shall not be required of the warrantor if he can show that the defect, malfunction, or failure of any warranted consumer product to conform with a written warranty, was caused by damage (not resulting from defect or malfunction) while in the possession of the consumer, or unreasonable use (including failure to provide reasonable and necessary maintenance). (d) Remedy without charge For purposes of this section and of section 2302© of this

title, the term "without charge" means that the warrantor may not assess the consumer for any costs the warrantor or his representatives incur in connection with the required remedy of a warranted consumer product. An obligation under subsection (a)(1)(A) of this section to remedy without charge does not necessarily require the warrantor to compensate the consumer for incidental expenses; however, if any incidental expenses are incurred because the remedy is not made within a reasonable time or

because the warrantor imposed an unreasonable duty upon the consumer as a condition of securing remedy, then the consumer shall be entitled to recover reasonable incidental expenses which are so incurred in any action against the warrantor.

So how does that mean my warranty isn't voided? If you go out and buy a brand new*Moto X, you root it and have no issues. No problems. Then a 6 weeks later, you plug in your headphones and all of a sudden, no sound is coming out of your head phones. Or the sound coming out of your speaker is crackling. Or your SIM/SD card door breaks off. Just because you rooted your phone, Motorola still has to honor the 1 year warranty pertaining to THOSE problems. They will STILL have to fix your headphone jack, THEY STILL have to install a new speaker and STILL have to give you a new SIM/SD card door.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] juiceppc:
Hi I noticed there is a Gear watchface that shows your next upcoming appt. I was wondering if there were any other widgets for the Gear running Null that would show this info. It seems that watch face has some "special" way of retrieving the next appt...

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] richlum:
I use Minimalistic Text widget to show this
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] juiceppc:
Hmmm. How is Minimalistic seeing that Appt. data? Mine doesn't? Are you using internet on your Gear? I'm not. I'm only relying on what Gear Manager is syncing over I guess... No Appt widget will display any appts... If I go to choose calendars within a widget like Smooth Calendar I don't show any calendars. Which I'm not surprised because I don't have any setup on the Gear itself. Only on my Note 3. Somehow though the Samsung clock widgets on the Gear are able to show upcoming appts... But not the style I want....

Do I need to sync the calendar on my Gear to the calendar on my Note 3 first?...

Any info appreciated. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] richlum:
Yes. You need to set up your Google account on the Gear in the settings menu.

I'm not sure if you need to install calendar for it to pull/sync calendar data, but I have it installed and have it set up so if I tap the Minimalistic Text widget, it opens the calendar app.

I also have Tasker on the phone and gear setup to enable BT tethering for 2 minutes every hour.

That is often eough for me to have it synced. But, you could set it more frequently if you wanted.

Or, even leave tether always enabled if you don't mind the battery drain on your phone and watch.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] juiceppc:
That's what I thought dang. I'm on ATT in US doing BT tether requires root or paying for it... Even then not sure if it's enabled... Thanks for the info though. How does that Samsung watchface and the "Today's Schedule" app get it?... I wonder if there is a way to "exploit" that?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] zhuozhi211:
For some reason, Sony and a few other manufacturers insist on the photo naming convention the same as their digital camera lines e.g. DSC_001.jpg, DSC_002.jpg etc, as compared to the more meaningful date-time format e.g. 20140502_131510.jpg. This may pose problem if you are an active ROM flasher, or if you backup the photos to a common NAS or on cloud with multiple devices, as the file names may clash. Sorting files by name will be useless too, though you may sort it by exif, you cant do the same on video files.

This had bugged me for years, and I'm glad there is finally an app to solve this problem - DSC Auto Rename - it will automatically rename the photos and videos into date time format after they are taken.

If you are on KitKat and save your photos on SD card, you will need Root and SDFix as well.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] martan1981:
I fought with the same problem. Now I use DropboxI for several years, which solves all issues I once had. It renames the files to format you mentioned and also automatically uploads, so they just appear on my PC without any cables.

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
It will work outside the US, with SIM unlock.

But I would caution against buying the AT&T variant for a couple reasons:

- There is an Asian variant available. You haven't stated your carrier/country, but does the Asian variant available in your country?

- Have you researched the band compatibility? Is the AT&T variant any more/less compatible than the Asian variant?

- Warranty on the AT&T version will be void. If the Asian version is available to you, it should have full warranty

- WiFi hotspot will be disabled on the AT&T variant, unless you unlock the bootloader and root

:/

so, there i was in the shop playing with both imate jasjam and the new o2 atom exec. id been waiting for the atom for ages and was certain id get one. however, i walked out with the imate. what won me was the 3g/ superior data connection compared to the standard gprs of the atom and also the keyboard on the hermes is great.

after using the device i am left a little dissapointed by its performance. eg. pocketmsn is slow when i am engaged in a chat. if i get a 2nd chat running, it crawls.. my jam never did this :/

i am quite tempted to sell it on and get what i should have gotten first time around.. atom exec..

sigh
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] aadadams:
This may not directly address your concern, but I have found the Samsung processor in the TyTN to be quite fast at some things but quite slow at others. For instance Sprite backup backs up my TyTN in less than two minutes. The OMAP processor in my Wizard using Sprite took about 5 minutes. The TyTN takes about 5 seconds to launch iguidance and it was basically instant on the Wizard. The battery life from the Samsung is about a day longer than the OMAP in my case battery life. I guess your choice hinges on what your willing to accept. Hope it helps a little.

3g and 2g consumes battery, apps like whatsapp,fb, viber etc which has background process, consumes battery. Uninstall those apps which you don't use. Why to Greenify, Throw away the one you don't use. Good Luck.
