This is what I propose..http://xdaforums.com/general/help/dear-xda-ya-consider-t3070263
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] loonie01:
That is a great idea for a thread. I hope it can be implemented. I also hope the new build will be pushed out too.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] lizzluv1:
Very upsetting! There will be conflict in anything anywhere and we were finally starting to make progress. Users make it hard for other users to ask questions as they are scared of the backlash and eventually it turns to hostility and XDA refuses to handle it. It is not always easy to find the info you need in 1000 pages of replies. It is unfortunate but there will not always be butterflies and rainbows! After the brightness fix the tread was starting to lighten up more and we were all excited and waiting and most were putting good input. This is unfortunate to say the least and a slap in the face to everybody on Ax's team that work so hard for the community.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] tommason1968:
That is so very true. I can be very intimidating to ask a question sometimes. I think its very important for some of the more tech savvy members here to realize that there are some who may be very interested in learning but are afraid to ask.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] southphillysean:
Well I didn't wanna start any problems. I just wanted to let ataxat and every other person who has contributed to XDA in one way or another. I for one appreciate everyone's hard work and countless hours.....this stuff ain't easy people. I can understand being frustrated about answering the same question over and over, but if those who just show up in the former without even trying to help as just as much at fault.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] louforgiveno:
Thanks (out of em for the day...sorry)

Fingers crossed for a quick resolve

Seems pretty clear to me. There is only so much developers can support while still enjoying their lives.

If you have questions needing support, please post in Q&A. There is no need for these types of threads on XDA, especially when the closing statement is clear.

Thanks

For some reason mine was showing a generic Lounge up until now but today it actually shows the Z3v right on top and it showed me the free themes. My kids love the themes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] shootind5nukes:
I'm sure we all knew that but I had a small bit of hope. I began a chat with samsung and my assumption was confirmed.

This is the log of my chat.

Selwin: Hi, thank you for contacting Samsung Technical Support. How may I help you today?

Visitor: I have one question about the galaxy s 6 that I know you already know. Will it be bootloader locked for verizon. I need to know if I need to buy it or the Google Nexus

Visitor: I'm assuming your going to lock the bootloader on all verizon branded GS6, I was hoping you could save me a month of waiting

Visitor: to find out

Visitor: You locked the bootloader on the GS5 per verizon

Selwin: I'd like to inform you that Samsung doesn't recommend to root the devices and it voids the warranty of the device also.

Visitor: ok that's cool

Visitor: i still would like to know

Visitor: should be a big deal to go ahead and tell me

Visitor: shouldn't

Selwin: However, we still have no exact information about the Galaxy S6.

Visitor: sure you do your releasing it next month

Visitor: actually this month

Selwin: I'd like to inform you, S6 and S6 edge are going to be released on the second week of this month.

Visitor: ok cool, so I'm sure samsung knows about a phone they already made

Visitor: so it the bootloader going to be locked?

Selwin: If you want I can help you with the specs of the S6 devices.

Visitor: yes I would like that

Visitor: The specs in question are of the bootloader type

Visitor: what's the spec on the galaxy s 6 verizon bootloader

Selwin: http://www.samsung.com/us/explore/galaxy-s-6-features-and-specs/#preorder

Visitor: If your unsure could you ask your manager

Visitor: It's something I know you know or can find out

Selwin: May I have three minutes to research the required information? Meanwhile, get attracted viewing the amazing functionality of Samsung products by visiting us at http://samsungsimulator.com/

Visitor: I love Samsung but due to the locked bootloaders I'm not going to buy another device that is locked by your on verizon

Visitor: yes I'll wait

Visitor: thank you

Selwin: You are welcome.

Selwin: Thank you for waiting.

Visitor: AT&T and Verizon require you to lock your phones on their networks before they will sell them. I just want to know if they have had you lock them on Verizon again. It's a selling point for me.

Selwin: I'd like to inform you, that we have no exact information about the release of the developer editions of S6.

Visitor: ok are you saying that the non dev edition of the phone on verizon is bootloader locked?

Selwin: Yes, you are correct.

Selwin: I request you to contact after the release date of the S6 for exact information.

Visitor: thank you so much for your help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] GreeleyXda:
maybe they'll find an exploit since all models will have the same chip
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] shootind5nukes:
we'll see I guess.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] KennyG123:
Verizon's locking down of their devices is not going to change anytime soon...they are making huge sales in corporate and military contracts. WIth those contracts are upgrade provisions, so they would lose those contracts if the phones became less secure. When you combine that with their coverage area they can do this without worries. Add to that, the reduction in customer service use by people that messed up their phones by rooting and flashing. A good amount of us always knew how to recover from these things..but there are many out there, try the stuff about rooting and flashing without reading, reading, reading, mess it up, panic, and run right to Customer Service "My phone is broke, can I haz another?"

So the benefits of them locking down devices is tremendous. Of course there will always be those developers who like a challenge and will keep trying to break into it for root or unlocking...but the S5 is showing they did a pretty good job of locking it so far.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] gohamstergo:
Glad I saw this thread, gonna be a no-buy for me unless someone cracks it. Wankers :|
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] entropism:
You realize that guy probably has a barely there handle of English, is reading from a manual, and told you a few times he didn't know the answer. You basically forced him to say yes or no, and he responded by saying that AT&T and Verizon's phones are CARRIER locked. I wouldn't take this as confirmation AT ALL.

HOWEVER, considering AT&T and Verizon's history of a locked bootloader? Bet on the locked bootloader.

There, I gave you an answer that was just as accurate as "Selwin's", but using prior experience rather than guessing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] CBMC:
Your right, but he did mention the developer edition. This would indicate that he might know what unlocked bootloader meant. Though, like you, I already assumed it would be locked and would be absolutely shocked if it wasn't.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] jokesonme:
This is sad.... So much pleasure from my Galaxy S3 and Note 3. The Note 4 with locked bootloader was a total disappointment, and now this. It is the Apple story all over. Now internal battery, no sd, and locked bootloaders. Basically in the same jailbreaking scenario that apple users have been in, uphill battle from here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] TheCrowing:
If I decide to upgrade to the S6, I really don't need the bootloader unlocked. But I am hoping I can at least get basic root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] pablomoca:
Agreed. All I really need is root to change around a few things and I'll be happy. The one thing that I need to be sure of is the ability to wirelessly tether. Other than that I don't mind new phones the way they are. Speaking of which is there a working app for tethering on Lollipop? I have unlimited data still and this is the most important thing for me when choosing a new phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] carlbettag:
OK... at the risk of trolling (which is totally NOT my intent)... I just bought a (barely) used Verizon LG G3 on Swappa for around $325.

- Fast, 32GB internal memory, microSD supported to 126GB, removable battery

- Root & bootloader

- Super awesome ROM (SkyDragon) with crazy good battery life

I really wanted to love my Galaxy S4, but it was not a great phone. I'm kind of done with the new Samsung direction. Am very, very, VERY happy with my new LG G3.

Good luck everyone!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Droid_Evo_8:
All I care would be root. There's the ever helpful Xposed anyways.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] CreepersCrawlers:
Welp. That pretty much kills any chance of me getting this phone.

M9 here I come
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] geoff5093:
I'm pretty sure the Verizon M9 is also locked...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] pablomoca:
I don't think the default tethering works on an unlimited plan. It tells you to call Verizon and add a tethering plan (or something to that affect). Unless this is screen shot from a different app such as foxfi. In that case, I usually have multiple devices tethered to my phone, which is why I want wifi tethering to work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] elprofet:
I'm pretty sure the M9 can be unlocked easily by going to HTC's dev site and registering.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Delakit:
First things first... you're*

Bootloader will be locked.

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] rhcpcjg:
On sunday, I pre ordered a 128gb s6 edge on tmobile's website, it arrived on tuesday, and as soon as I turned it on I noticed dead pixels and also i noticed under direct sunlight that the screen had scratches everywhere, i paid almost one thousand dollars for this and I found that unacceptable, so I called TMobile and they said I had to return the phone, wait until they refunded my money and then I could order another one OR I could buy another one and pay for it and return this one. So I just went ahead and placed another order and they overnighted a new phone to me. The phone arrived today, and it also has dead pixels or something black under the display (very noticebale) and also has a really scratched screen. The phone is nice, it works fine most of the time, but my problem is not with the software, it is with the lack of quality control Samsung is showing with this release.

I decided to return both phones, and i will be sticking with my iphone 6 until Samsung gets their act together, I dont want to throw Samsung under the but for a flagship phone, this issues should be non-existent. My advice to anyone that has ordered a s6 edge, is to check your screen for any dead pixels, and to check your phone;s screen under direct sunlight and see if you find any scratches.

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Poetique:
Don't be so sure that it's Samsung. Having this kind of issue twice in a row is a more likely sign of mishandling during delivery than an actual quality control issue.

I'd consider trying to see if I could get the device shipped to my carrier's local store for pickup, as delivery companies tend to be a bit more careful when shipping things to businesses than to consumers.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] jimmydigital00:
Same exact thing with my s6 edge 32gb. Small scratches allike over the screen.

My new one came today but I didn't open it yet to check.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] edyfrances:
Wow !! After that I will prefer to buy at the store after the April 10 !
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] americasteam:
I would find it virtually impossible for the delivery company to scratch the screen. Each phone should have a screen cover installed at the factory. The dirt under the glass or dead pixels with 2 units delivered to the same person is also disturbing.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] angelofmusic:
Oh wow! Mine is all scratched up as well =( Right when I took it out of the box I noticed a pretty substantial scratch on the display. Then when I looked more closely, in more revealing lighting, I saw that I had light scratches all over the entire display. I am NOT happy with this. I will be getting a regular S6 for review when I can. If some of you are seeing the same things that I am, then statistically speaking, this is a pretty wide-spread issue. If you and I are seeing these scratches, it means that others are as well. I will keep a close eye on this.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Poetique:
You'd only find it virtually impossible if you've never been inside of a UPS or FedEx shipping facility (probably the USPS too, but I havn't actually been to the inner portions of one of those). I actually have never received a FedEx package to my area that wasn't beat up to some degree.

When I say that packages are literally occasionally tossed several YARDS across a room, I'm not kidding. And if whoever is supposed to catch them misses, well... what goes up eventually comes down lol.

The use of screen/devices covers only has one real effect, and that's preventing EXCESSIVE dust. Obviously, dust is dust, and you can't just eliminate it. It'll do a bit to stop scratches, but if a bit of fine debris that just so happens to get trapped under the dust cover it can still lead to scratches if the device gets shaken about in the box. And of course it does nothing to protect against impact damage, which is one potential cause of dead pixels.

I want to see what happens when other carriers start shipping. On that note, what courier is responsible for T-Mobile orders?

Edit: I'm also going to assume that everyone around here is aware of the fact that Gorilla Glass is visible to the naked eye if you have sharp eyesight, and that the "scratches" probably aren't scratches if they're uniform and follow some sort of pattern (you'd be surprised how many people thought they had scratched devices in the early days of Gorilla Glass lol).
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] brar.arsh:
Any pictures from any of you?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] martinezma99:
I just checked my screen. Zero scratches. Scared me for a second.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] rjwdon:
i expect these devices are assembled in vacuumed containers, in a similar fashion to hard drives, as such dust/particles are a non issue and it isnt possible to get dust under one of the plastic covers unless they are tampered with down the line - again this would just be my expectation but i would be surprised if this assessment wasnt accurate.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Poetique:
You expect alot from mass manufacturing/assembly lol.

The kind of operation you're talking about would be more likely to be found when dealing with either small-scale manufacturing or manufacturing of devices that never touch human hands before reaching the consumer. Neither case applies to Samsung devices.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] DrexelDragon:
Oh no :( Both S6 Edges I have received both have the scratched screens. This is bad.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] rjwdon:
while thats true, it is a proceedure in place for hard drives, they literally will not work if there is a single speck of dust on the platter - if anything at all interferes with the read-head it will scratch the platter and bam dead hard drive.

it is entirely possible they dont use vacuum chambers for assembling phones however, I will grant you that lol
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] netnerd:
just try to clean the screen !

i thought i scratched my NoteEdge too but after i clean the screen, the scratches are gone !

are
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] DrexelDragon:
Doesn't work.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] angelofmusic:
There is no distinct pattern . They go in every which direction. I haven't seen this before and trust me when I say, I have reviewed A LOT of phones. It's strange to see gorilla glass 4 scratching this way. I have had my Note 4 for many months and it looks fantastic. I can see a few hairline scratches but nothing like what I already see on this less than a day old S6 Edge. At this point, I really can't pin down the cause. However, this is not made up. When I was at MWC I saw many, many models and didn't see any scratches on the displays. You bet once this device is more widely released that I will be exchanging mine!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Poetique:
So for those with scratched screens... how have you tried to go about cleaning them? And do the T-Mobile units come with a dust cover or a screen protector? If it's the latter, you might definitely want to try cleaning them as you could just be seeing small bits of adhesive.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] DrexelDragon:
Do you have black or white?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] angelofmusic:
Scratches are scratches...

There was the standard plastic dust protector. All looked perfect as I pulled it out of that sleeve. Immediately I looked at the display and saw a pretty deep scratch. I thought it was adhesive and I rubbed at it. It didn't go away. Then I could feel it with my fingernail. Next I looked at the entire display in the light and I saw hairline scratches all over the place. Something is definitely going on here.

---------- Post added at 01:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:27 AM ----------

Mine is black but I can't see that mattering much, unless one particular factory dealt with our models and they were only black...
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Poetique:
That's very odd, and does sound like the sort of thing that would happen when there's a combination of an issue with fine debris getting trapped under the dust cover and the device being shaken about during shipping as it's unlikely that such a thing would pass any QA inspections.

The only unusual thing is that you said there was a DEEP scratch, and fine debris wouldn't cause that. Larger debris could, but that would indicate someone just being careless while packaging the device.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] gdmlaz:
Just preorder my 64gb edge in gold..... Will let you know when it arrives I paid for overnight shipping
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Dan37tz:
Help guys. I'm having issues with T-Mobile return.. ARGHH...

So I received my phone yesterday and it's scratched like crazy. I am on the phone with T-Mobile and they won't ship me a replacement. They said I have to follow the email instructions on sending it back to them and I have to pay for the return shipping also! WTH

So how are people getting overnight replacements sent to them? I've been on the phone with them twice since this morning and transferred about half a dozen times with no resolution. I'm not asking for a refund, I just want a non-defective replacement.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] flarbear:
Not sure how to respond to the poll.

Absolutely no visible scratches in ambient light.

With an LED flashlight shining directly on the screen it is 99.99% flawlessly smooth with no ripples or defects except for exactly one short ~3/4 inch long scratch that is hard to find and see. No swirl marks or long or extensive scratching. I just checked in direct sunlight and it was even harder to find that one scratch, but I can see it in direct sunlight. And, again, knowing exactly where it is I cannot find it in ambient light ever.

I'd call that "no scratches" since I have nothing like what I see in the pictures on here, except that it technically isn't "no scratches at all" as the poll suggests.

I was also a little concerned over the way that it was sleeved in the box. It was a standard plastic cocoon with plastic tabs, but those are usually tight and form-fitting to the extent that you have to pull on the tabs to peel off 2 or 3 sides of them before the device can slip out. In this case, the sleeve was loosely fitting and I could slide the device out without really breaking any adhesive seams on the cocoon - it just sort of slid right out.
