WTH, why would he work against the community. Its very ridiculous at the thought their are devs out their who support locked down devices. It makes me so angry they are locked down in the first place. They keep classifying our devices as "phones" and its completely ludicrous, thats like classifying an automobile as a radio, just because it has one installed. Our devices should be classified as computers, as I am sure the vast majority of smart phone users, do not use their devices as telephones 51% of the time. Pointing out the obvious, these are computers with CPUs, RAM, storage, 3D graphics chips, a multitude of of sensors, WiFI network chip, stereo sound, Bluetooth radios, NFC radios, I/O Ports such as USB and Video, modem, microphone, speakers, cameras, oh and it has the ability to make phone calls. Just because of the very last feature, the phone, cell phone companies somehow feel they have the right to lock-down our devices. This would be like a windows machine shipping without administrator privileges, and locking Windows down in ROM and encrypting the boot process to make running other operating systems, or even updating the operating system, forbidden without authorization from our Internet provider. Is there nothing that can be done to make this illegal? The supreme court just ruled they can't lock us to a carrier, and as such, if we wanted to switch to TMobile, can we use this as a loop-hole to demand they unlock our bootloader? Is there any lawyer out there smart enough to figure out a way to untie the stranglehold cell phone companies have on our devices? Or is this just a f**ked up-no logical sense, fact of life that we can not change. We are always going to be the minority, and as such we have proactive if we are ever going to get this changed. I would gladly take a voided warranty, or better yet, pay for "extended" warranty that covers bootloaders. Why can't they flip this into a profitable venture, like charging us extra to unlock out bootloader. Sorry for the "this grinds my gears rant", its just so frustrating that all of the power users like our selves, the ones that make all the technological decisions for our friends and family, are powerless in this matter. I've already completely abandoned Samsung for how stupidly hard they are making their devices to get rooted and unlocked. :rolleyes:

Simple....he gets paid to do it.
[AT&T LG G3] Pure+:
You sir are a ranting master. That was very well put. I feel the exact same way and couldn't have said it better haha. It's truly frustrating and to add to your point it's even worse for those of us who pay the 600 to 900 for off contract. We 100% own the device. No carrier subsidies and no bull**** yet we can't modify and run our devices how we want? I mean really? Its ludicrous and it's completely unnaceptable. Honestly, it's so Apple of these manufacturers to do such a thing. Don't get me wrong. I like Apple and thoroughly enjoy their products. I will undoubtedly be getting the iPhone 6. May or May not be my daily driver for a while. Its be hard to not use the g3. But if anyone here knows anything about iphone, it's that they gets pretty damn boring after the first few months. Not really even sure where I'm going with this, but like [MENTION=4454500]samg77[/MENTION] I'm pissed and ready for something to change.

Slightly off topic here... Any one start seeing 1440 resolutions in YouTube on their G3? I read that it had been pushed but I can't seem to get mine to do it. And yes the videos I am testing support 1440.

[AT&T LG G3] samg77:
I feel they should even be unlocked with subsidies. They aren't giving us the device for free, they reduce the price by $400 by charging us that $400 over a 24 month period--and if we break the contract, the EFT fee covers it. So we are paying full price no matter how you slice it. To me this would be like not being able to make any modifications to your house, while still paying off your mortgage.

I love the open source movement, and the fact Android is open-sourced. Having a locked down-open sourced device is just the worst. If I wanted locked down, I would buy a Windows phone. They are nice phones, and the OS is actually very quick, and well thought-out.

I honestly can't find any reason why a compromise can't be made to allow unlocked bootloaders, WTF do they think we are doing with our phones on their network? I *HATE* to think the primary reason for locked bootloaders is an attempt to prevent of from getting the mobile hotspot feature for free--which I never use. What else could they be attempting to prevent us from doing? argh okay I'll stop whining.

Regarding the iPhone 6, for the first time I am considering an iPhone purchase. Sapphire crystal, 5.5" iPhone oh man, the idea is appealing. And iOS jailbroken is a lot more fun/tweaker friendly. I'm going to get it and try it out, and if I don't like it, give it to another family member on my plan. Defiantly don't want to switch without a safety net.:laugh:

You might be pleasantly surprised. Though don't expect a jailbreak to quickly. Apple is pretty bad about being locked down. I've had every generation of iphone. Just because I can't stand not to have and try the latest and hopefully greatest.

Yeah no I figured that part but if he did they would catch on pretty quick because what are the chances of someone else finding the same exploits as him just before him every time he finds one useful to us? The chances of that aren't very good. I wish he would. But it's just not that logical unfortunately. And it's most definitely sad.

Why would anyone pay full price and not buy Nexus device? I am torn right now between my Nexus4 and LG G3(both company provided). Software advantages and development community of factory unlocked Nexus make it equal to modern much more powerful G3.

For my wife I only buy Nexuses and use no contract carrier like Cricket.
[AT&T LG G3] Pure+:
Yeah but the betas always have a lot of exploits that get patched with the GM and Pub release. But they always miss some to. After all no such thing as perfect. I am hopeful they'll get it quick but another factor they have to account for is the next gen of processor. In the past they've been able to jailbreak the older devices because hey be had the exploits for that combo of processor+software so to speak. And the new devices remained jailbreakless for months and months. So it's really just 50/50 on whether it can be done. And with all these other dev teams releasing jailbreaks for the versions of ios that it just doesn't make sense to release because they burn too many valuable exploits that teams like the evad3rs understand aren't worth burning with senseless jailbreak.

But again, at the end of the day it's still 50/50 and no one can say for certain how it'll go down.

Is chit chat among members about things we are interested in while we wait for either some updates or a release not okay with you? No? Then ignore it. No offense but you don't have to follow or read any of it.

All that says to me is XDA is evolving. Honestly, this bull**** feud between ios and android and f***ing annoying. I know there are plenty of people that enjoy, like, or love both platforms and the hardware offered offered by each. And I remember those times all to well. Being flamed for liking both. But it's kind of crap that it ever happened because if I was a "fanboy" of Apple I wouldn't have had any of my android phones and would've never found xda. But that's a logical view and when people get heated they become blind to all sense of reason. Either way I'm glad we can talk completely openly here these days.

Thing is, for those whole pay outright for their device(s) have every right to be able to run wtfe they want on it. Those with subsidies, well not much of a defense there, device(s) arent paid for thus carrier has rights then. Though I never seen a carrier attempt to repo a phone thats not been paid for in full, just blacklisted, so that might be a moot point. ;)

Point is, our pc's arent locked, why should our mobile devices be locked?

All about choice and options, we all have our own personal preferences, and those should never be forced onto others. ;)

Nexus and AOSP rock tho. Skinned sux, BUT some of the added features from OEM are nice. ;)

And having that opinion I'd your right. My own thing I want to say is have fun with that aosp camera app. It's a pretty sad excuse for a camera. Makes even the best shooting phones just miserable to use because quality is such sh** and that is one of the single biggest reason I won't use stock.

Sent from my vR:M8
[AT&T LG G3] PlayfulGod:
pure aosp camera app? yea its always been ****, works most of the time depending on device, but just bla feature wise. Nexus and GPE use the Google camera now tho.

Camara app in cm11 has come along way, but can have drvier issues there tho. Pure AOSP isnt for everyone, some of you like and enjoy stock, stock + root and wtfe mods. Some of us like to push limits, run other stuff, or even make our own stuff. ;)

When it comes to the camera, in most cases its hard to beat the OEM app from stock tho. Kinda hard to debate that one. lol
[AT&T LG G3] st0nez0r:
One of the reasons I picked up this phone, and prefer to use the stock camera.

The other day, I **** you not... I was getting my sons lunch ready and was looking out the window at all the cute little wrens eating from the little feeder we put out in the yard. Now, it's not every day you see one large bad-ass falcon dive from the sky and grab another bird in mid-air and start to have lunch of its own. I grabbed my galaxy s3, and started snapping pictures of it. Each one was crap, and I wasn't able to capture an amazing sight.

I guess it comes down to personal preference though. I'm generally a flash-aholic, but I happen to like G3's stock with nova on top. It's hard to beat the call screen, contact list, calendar, camera etc... things the OEM seems to put a some effort in, and looks like crap on AOSP. With the bloatware removed, greenify installed I seem to be getting some of the best battery life i've ever seen from a phone. So far i'm 36 hours in on a single charge, at 40% with 3 hours screen time and google now running in the background (something i usually have off but finding extremely useful now)

Anyway, i'm running a bit off the beaten path of the topic.
[AT&T LG G3] PlayfulGod:
what I seen of the G3's ui, that white would have to go for me even to give it a chance, I dont do white ui's. lol

calendar I use googles, contact list is a contact list to me, long as I can call etc from it. ;)

For aosp based roms, they really need a good maintainer, and preferably more than just one guy working on it. IMO CM and the community does a great job with the core, but the device specifics fall on the maintainer(s). And the G2, Flex, G3 (most likely) and several others just dont get the skill and knowledgeable ppl they need to give it the best experience possible. And grant it, some features that usually are missing in aosp from the OEM can make the exp seem 'boring' or lacking. I for one enjoy the lockscreen and knockon/off.
[AT&T LG G3] st0nez0r:
Well, let's just hope this phone gets the strong backing it deserves :)
[AT&T LG G3] huskerkate:
a couple of reasons: 1) for those of us locked into VZW, for whatever reason, no Nexi. 2) the N4 took some steps in the right direction, but it really wasn't until the N5 that Nexus devices could be said to truly compare with other flagships as far as hardware. right now, i tend to agree with you, all things being equal, why wouldn't you buy a Nexus?! unfortunately, things are not equal...

[AT&T LG G3] samg77:
A lot of you have made pledges to get the bootloader unlocked and thats great! The devs are confident its going to happen, once the few guys who are working on it all have a good chunk of time to fully dedicate their time to unlocking the bootloader. So this is my proposal.

The DEVS are working really hard on getting us an unlock. I know many of you are anxious! I propose any willing pledgers offer them an extra incentive if they achieve the unlock this month. I propose offering them a tip if they are able to unlock the bootloader or exploit/bypass by August 31st 11:59PM!

I pledged $300, so I am going to get things started with an offer of a $40 dollar tip! I ask lets support our developers who are going to take our perfect hardware and give us the perfect software to match! I'm sure most of you know how awesome an unlocked bootloader is, with its ability to get the lastest Android updates more quickly, running custom kernels, significantly increased battery life and performance due to being able to use the ART runtime with a compatible ROM, increased speed due to being able to overclock the CPU and GPU, Plus we get rid of the sluggishness from all the bloatware, full ROM level nandroid backups, and flashing custom ROMS.

Offer anything you want as a tip I am sure they will be greatful for some extra beer money! If every pledge offers a tip in range of 10-30% approximately $300 to $900 in bonus money would be raised. Tips are currently sitting at 4% of total pledges.

What do you say people, there is 3 weeks left in the month.

To add a tip, simply reply to either the Verizon Thread or the AT&T Thread depending whichever thread you made your original pledge, and say "I pledge $40 for a tip, if done by August 31st" tips that do no specify a date we will assume its in respone to this, and we will set an expiration date of August 31st!
