[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] bazzar1206:
Before I left the states for the UK, I spoke to a few att stores. None of the staff or managers knew what the locked bootloader was. They kept on saying did I mean to unlock it so I could use it in another network. Even when I spoke to their customer support on the phone and email, they were exactly the same. It seems like they sell the items but don't really know them. But I hope you're right.

Edit. Sorry, phone hadn't updated to show had already been answered.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] spexwood:
Talking to an ATT person about bootloader is like talking to HP customer service about BIOS on your computer. Bootloaders and BIOS are only messed with by advanced users who know more about their devices than the average user.

Just saying, lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] WyldJitt1976:
The "unlock code" you are talking about is to simply use the device on other networks. It has NOTHING to do with the ROM. ALL our devices are locked to at&t's network, with the exception of Apple. Only reason Apple is allowed is they refuse to sell a carrier locked device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] davidstech11:
Even the iPhone sold on AT&T is locked to the network. You need a unlock code to use another network. It seems AT&T likes to have its devices locked down.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Jspex:
That's carrier unlocking. All carriers lock their Sims until the device is paid in full.

As to locked bootloaders on any carrier, it's not on the carrier in that the device manufacturer locks the bl upon request of the carrier. At&t and Verizon both won't unlock the bl because they actually can't. Only Samsung could unlock it but fact of the matter is AT&T paid them to lock it. No petition in the world would make them break contract just so we can play on our phones in the manner we want.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] davidstech11:
I'm aware of that. I said that because of this...“ALL our devices are locked to at&t's network, with the exception of Apple. Only reason Apple is allowed is they refuse to sell a carrier locked device."

That was posted a little above my post.

I got something like 30k signatures on my Note 3 Bootloader petition. I had it set to directly email the top 4 AT&T executives responsible for such policy. I am somewhat jaded anout the ability to make change. However I do NOT think the answer is to not try. I never thought my petition would succeed at unlocking the N3 bootloader I DID hope that it would make a statement and get a lttle under the skin of the execs and wipe some of that self satisfaction off their faces. I think they all had to setup email filters to kill all those incomings. Sigh ... Keep at it. I signed because I believe in being heard. If I could afford to buy all my device's over at T-Mobile and use them on AT&T I would. Its probably gonna get worse before it gets better unfortunately with AT&T doing stuff like disabling download booster and such. I do think the concept of going after Samsung has potential When Asus locked down the Transformer Prime and Infinity bootloaders an outporing of complaints got them to reverse the policy, though you had to waive your warranty. Of course Asus is about yhe size of one of a gnat to Samsung so it might take oh... a MILLION signatures to make them see the light . But it is an interesting idea

Depends on what AT&T person your speaking with. I work for AT&T not the wireless side and I know what your talking about. But then again I am a network architect not the customer service reps you reach when calling customer care. Honestly wish I knew someone to figure out how to unlock this thing. But chances are that would take a Samsung contact.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] ReggieSmith:
my opinion on the bootloader petitions

Same here. I work for AT&T on the Wireless side. Unfortunately, as has been stated MANY times before, the locked/unlocked bootloader debate is made at a very high level and is a business decision. Plain and simple. A device that will be sold & marketed to large businesses and the Gov't, can't be sold with unlocked bootloaders because it makes them vulnerable and unsecure. It's as simple as that.

Talking/complaining to Customer Service Reps will get you no where, and it's unfair to them. They are hired to try and be an initial entry point to service a service impacting problem or make an allowable change to an account. A locked bootloader, (though many will disagree), is neither of these. Having a locked bootloader does not stop you from using the device or prevent you from accessing services. I will admit that it prevents "some" from doing things that they WANT to do with the phone, but that is different.

In the end, customers DO have a choice. You can buy a TMO version and use it on the AT&T network. (But I suspect this will soon no longer be an option as TMO just yesterday began a harder pitch to get more business customers. They will undoubtedly find that getting business and Gov't contracts will require locked bootloaders and they will have to make a hard choice as well. Going after that recurring business/Gov't money will most likely win out.)

I suspect there will shortly be similar petitions about the bootloader of the Galaxy S6.... same arguments and same results....

Again... just my opinion on the subject...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] MattMJB0188:
Agree with you. But AT&T has gone after businesses forever, practically. So why did the Galaxy S 1, 2, & 3, and Note, & Note 2 ship with unlocked bootloaders on AT&T? The S4 I believe shipped with a locked bootloader but it was cracked until AT&T patched it via a software update. I am curious why they changed their minds.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] ReggieSmith:
Complete of reasons- advancements in KNOX by Samsung and the Gov't began mandating it. They wanted more choices than just the iPhone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] MattMJB0188:
Ah. Good to know. I didn't know the gov't mandated it. Bummer. ):
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] ReggieSmith:
Again.. My opinion on the matter. Only thing that makes sense. The Gov't and most businesses want options and they want devices as secure as possible. Unlocked bootloaders leaves a big gaping security vulnerability. (hell, the devs even reference taking advantage of exploits to root devices.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] ShrekOpher:
Business could care less about a locked bootloader. Most big companies do BYOD now anyway, and they don't even care if it's rooted. I work in IT security having a locked bootloader means nothing, and we have some of the biggest government contracts. The government doesn't care either. KNOX does require a locked bootloader to work either. MOST companies are moving to 3rd party apps to manage document security and email security now so the mobile platform you choose doesn't matter, and neither does the fact that your bootloader is locked or unlocked.

It's simply that AT&T tracks information on your phone that they bundle together as marketing information or demographic information that they then sell. If you are countlessly flashing new ROMS and/or removing AT&T software you become an outlier in that data and are worthless to them. Over the life of your two year contract they make a bunch of money off the information they gather about you and sell it.

In 2006 they changed their privacy policy to state they own all of the information generated by your device once it is hooked to their network.

" On June 21, 2006, AT&T had rewritten rules on their privacy policy. The policy, which took effect June 23, 2006, says that "AT&T – not customers – owns customers' confidential info and can use it 'to protect its legitimate business interests,"

Which basically means if they can make money off something they learn about your demographic, from gathering information about what/how you use the phone on their network, they will make money off it and they legally have the right to.

Your worth a whole lot more to them than your monthly fee for cell service. Basically the entire time you use your non rooted phone you are taking part in a giant 2 year long focus group for them for free. (Well actually you are paying them to be apart of the focus group with your monthly bill)

This is why the bootloader is locked and they don't want you rooting devices.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] supraseed:
Why lock the bootloader and not even offer to unlock for those who would actually pay to have it done?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] mattraab:
BECAUSE

Once you get one device unlocked, then the whole world gets access to the information to unlock the rest. ATT is a huge provider for government phones. We are in Europe and still use ATT, its cost us a **** load of money, but its the best option. Only being, most ATT phones come with all the appropriate bands to work around the world. Now that Android is an accepted OS for the Military, ATT is not going to let vulnerabilities happen. It is way too important for them. Only important people get phones as well. I am middle ranked, I dotn get a damn phone, you have to have some pretty pennies in your bank for the government to give you a government phone, provided by ATT. But the more rank, the more classified your **** gets, the more classified, the more security you need. With a one-click root, wifi, and some knowledge, you can hack any ones phone within your reach. You will never get ATT to accept to this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] elliwigy:
annddd this is whatyou will see posted in every petition thread lol.

on verizon there were ppl who say the same thing about govt this blah that.

Fact of the matter is, security is in the device not with att crapware. also, the technology to work around the world is in the device, not bcuz of att.

With that being said, i am sure att has dev editions (maybe they do not) as well as im sure older devices that are unlocked are on the network already.. if someone is going to hack your phone, you better have a rooted phone for more security. There is so much more you can do to secure your phone if you have root..

With that being said, people purchase dev edition phones to have a device that is unlocked so why not petition to have that option with retail devices?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] RayCyn:
With Att you buy but they dictate what you do so really you don't own it. Be nice or people can go elsewhere att competition is a ***** i have 11 lines and in a couple of days we are done 10 years same crap.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Ciloteille:
Cricket uses att, but their prices are far cheaper in the long time for 5 lines, so if you have 11 you can get quite a cost cut going that route.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] holywhitebread:
Explain how they dictate what you do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] RayCyn:
Dictate in the sense you get apps you don't need and your stuck and if you think we're not being tracked think again why no let us use the phones as we wish keeping it legal but no most prgrams from 'samsung and att' You Must register they will continue with Bloatware all we want is to use our phones. The phones we paid good money for the problem will continue but if they start to loose customers in numbers they will stop. We Hope

Hello all,

I have installed lollipop when it came out, I unlocked the bootloader and rooted it. Then I reinstalled a bunch of apps I use (games, apps, utilities) - all from scratch to make sure that old setting and such do not interfere.

All seems to be fine (smooth, fast) - only some apps do not seem to work - however, in some cases (when for example opening Chrome) I see huge slowdowns...

Anyone else experienced this? How do I find out what is causing it? How do I fix it?

Thank you for any suggestions

[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gadgetguy2005:
Thank you. I tried that - and it makes no difference. And the problem is not just with Chrome, as I experience (more or less random) slowdowns elsewhere too. I am a bit disappointed with this whole new Lollipop experience. On one hand it is (much) smoother than Kitkat was, on the other hand I get slowdowns, incompatibilities etc. which I never experienced with Kitkat :(
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sarge29490:
Well I have LTE version, i am rooted with philz recovery locked bootloader and orginal kernel, i use Seeder (find it on playstore) and weekly clear cache and dalvic/art cache, have no lags and slowdowns on lollipop, if there are, they are so rare that i dont notice any more.

Did you factory rest after the update? Cause i read somewhere that already installed apps have issues with lollipop so fresh install is recommended, i also have no issues with facebook either...

And also did you try changing processor mode to max performance in Shield power control under battery menu from optimized.

I must also mention the battery times have improved alot compared to kitkat...

Tablet is stock, not rooted and boorloader locked. I sideloaded the lollipop OTA on my LTE version and i experience the same issue.

It flies most of the time but sometime, especially when downloading or updating apps from Play store or opening random apps like Skype or even hangouts the tablet will come to a crawl.

I think this is a lollipop issue which nvidia need to address with an update.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eat it iPhone:
I have to say on 4.x the tablet was unbearably slow at times and it didnt seem to be related to any specific app. After installing lollipop fresh and clean everything is really smooth, except Chrome. When i open Chrome and start navigating i see things slow down to being unresponsive for 30-60 seconds at a time and immediately working if i close Chrome. I also have a Nexus 5 with Lollipop and no such issues there. I did install facebook so ill try removing that. Ill give the optimization thread a peak too and see if that works.

Im impressed overall with the Shield tablet, but its a blemish that general web browsing is faster on CM11 on my Kindle Fire HD (original). Maybe Nvidia will come out with a fix, or someone here will pin point the exact cause.

Do you happen to use LastPass? I found that, upon a fresh install, everything worked great until I installed LastPass. The way that they set up autofill in lollipop seems to hang up the whole system. When I disabled "Enable fill service" in the settings, the tablet was blazing fast again.

After playing with it, I found that I still got decent performance while still being able to leverage the best part of the app by enabling the fill service and disabling the helper and scanning for password fields.
