No disrespect, it's an Android! This was the biggest reason/seeking point why it was so popular among all the true tech savvy people! The reason why People join XDA.

For $920, yeah we should be allow to do whatever we want to this phone. We are not IPeople.

Post the link, I'll sign it. Those who don't understand the frustration, look at the top of your browser..XDA developers..

That's what this whole community was all about. People coming together, with fantastic idea and applications to share. Without root, no need to have a community like XDA.

They did try and went to bat for their customers...and when calling them they said it should be unlocked ...when you called Samsung about the Note 7 they said it should be unlocked ...then if you google Note 7 International Version it's already rooted so yes there was a possibility..especially if you reached out and asked.

Let's see, who's more important to T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon? The .5% of their customers who know what a bootloader is or the 20% of their corporate customers that generate half their revenue? AT&T and VZW locked their bootloaders so that their top corporate accounts can still have their employees BYOD and not have to worry about one of them corrupting their phone and possibly creating a security threat. BYOD policies at most large companies limit employees to iPhones and Samsung products

because

they're locked down. Hobbyists on XDA are a rounding error in the greater scheme of things. Your three lightly used returns will make great refurb units.

welcome to the corporate mindset; its not what the development community did for them IN THE PAST, its more about what can be done for them going forward..In the corporate world, value is not judged based on past successes, its about what will you do for me going forward...and, it that regard, Samsung/Apple et al, couldn't care less about the users on XDA...

It's beautiful and a great form factor device, but not for me Locked. Staying with Nexus!
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
What rubbish tactics? Also let's remind people that unlocked devices aren't what made T-Mobile stand out. Their apparent lack of contracts (even though an eip is a contract), them bringing back unlimited data, free texts and data over seas, not counting various video and music streaming sites, and etc is what made them stand out.

Let's not muck up the discussion with low fruit arguments of they have sold out and yatta yatta. Much the same with the arguments of omg now samsung is just like apple. If that's the case darn near every phone sold on Verizon is an apple clone, and one would stand to reason you have no idea what android is capable of if a locked bootloader makes you think they are becoming apple.

Lol apple users jail break to get the functionality we already have stock.

Sad thing is that you couldn't see past the hype train to avoid all this nonsense. Then again if people didn't buy it to begin with they wouldn't have anything to b and moan about.

I think you overestimate the value of the hard-core enthusiast community to the carriers. I'm talking about the guys and gals that can root and flash ROMs and not be a pain in the ass to the customer service techs. The enthusiast wannabes... those idiots who can't follow directions, won't search for answers to their issues and post vague pleas for help are probably more trouble than they're worth to the carriers.

I'd suggest that the carriers' core customer is either a corporation or a person who wants a trouble free experience and finds the notion of the locked down phone to be comforting. Could they have sold a Developers Edition like they did for the Note 4? Perhaps, but I suspect the sales numbers simply didn't add up.

I bought the Note 7 knowing full well that it is locked down. I bought it knowing that the Verizon Note 4 went 18 months before it was unlocked and that it could be at least that long before the Note 7 is unlocked, if at all. I like the hardware and can live with the software's perceived shortcomings. I would have waited for the Nexus but Google has a fetish against SD cards. I carry over 100 gig worth of music on my phone and that to be is the showstopper.

Stop and think about it. How many people will pass through the forums here at XDA for the Note 7 and want to root? Several hundred? (Well, maybe more than that. I'm excluding the pure morons.) How many phones will T-Mobile sell? Thousands and thousands? There's an economy of scale at play. Consider too that the Note 7 is probably the most expensive phone most people here have ever bought. There will be some hesitancy to gamble with that investment by rooting.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
So many users here live in this vacuum where they think they are the majority and can induce change.

They get stuck in their ways and never think outside of the devices they use. Thats why you had people clueless as to how they would survive without a removable incase the device freezes. Completely forgetting this scenario isn't new. Just look at every nexus since the 4 and every single tablet ever.

Not to mention if any of these trail blazers were really concerned about the openness of android and how the OEMs handle that they would have been raising the boycott flag for every afflicted device. Not just the one they had their little hearts set upon.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] dallas90733:
I don't understand, if you are happy with your device being Bootloader lock, why are you on a developer site like XDA?

This site(since I've been coming) has always been about people sharpen their skills and helping people be free of carrier and manufacturer's bloatware.

I mean you can go any where you like, I'm just curious why are you here when you love the way your devices came?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] combatmedic870:
Wow. People actually thought it was going to be unlocked...
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] douger1957:
Happy? I wouldn't characterize it as "happy." I'd like to have an unlocked and rooted device. I don't see the profit in stomping my feet and threatening to take my toys elsewhere. There was nothing... absolutely nothing... that left the impression that Note 7 phones would be unlocked, T-Mobile's past friendliness to the concept aside. I may be all wrong, but I understand the business reasons for locking down the hardware.

There are talented developers here that will accept the locked bootloader as the challenge that it is. I am not one of those people, and neither are the vast majority of people that post here.

I watched the process from afar for the Verizon Note 4 and came away from it a smarter enthusiast than before. My skill seems to be helping people after the technical work is finished. I think there's a place here for me.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] seraphyz:
Im not happy i just won't rant on the forums like a child. I love flashing my phones but in my opinion samsung phones are ahead of the pack to the point where even without i think they are better then other brands.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Well for one not everything talked about here revolves around modifying elements that require an unlocked bootloader or root. Thats a no brainer

I also follow the forums for every device i have ever owned simply because I enjoy android. I just don't follow for whatever device is in my hand.

But by your logic everyone that isnt happy should already be gone.

This post is funny, ive been a member for awhile here and have really only had one phone modded the HTC Evo from Sprint. I come on XDA for advice, to solve issues with my phone, to join others and talk while we wait for our preordered phones to be charged, shipped, and received at our front door, I come here for the camaraderie. For me I really don't see the need to mod my phone. For me the phone that I buy should really have all I want out of the box. I see people talking about how great the Nexus phone are but the moment they get it all they want to do is change everything about the phone. How good could it really be there?

[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] dkb218:
This site since I've been here has been about fixing issues in stock firmware. As firmware has gotten better, the need to root has become more of "what can I do different", not necessarily better. I've only rooted my last couple of phones so I could use Viper. Any custom roms I've used caused more problems than stock. I understand the need for root but I see no reason to root this device.... Yet.

Thats really only if you are restoring system apps and even then its a case by case basis. At most i could only see it making apps force close or not open at all. I have about 40 that i keep online that I restore between my phone and tablet without issue.

I've started out with a Sprint HTC EVO 4G, to a Sprint Galaxy S3, to my current T-Mobile Note 4. I've always had root. I thank XDA and other sites that have introduced me to the world of Custom ROMs. I've enjoyed using these devices without bloatware and they've been 99% ad free. To continue being free, I am going to choose a device that is bootloader unlocked. I have hopes that the SD820 Note 7 will be unlocked someday, but I'm not going to hold my breath. It looks like I will have to go with another device. Perhaps the Exynos 8890 Note 7. It's an exciting time that we live in. These advances in technology are great. I'm going to grab some popcorn and watch the next two months unfold.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] NXLTrauma25:
I'm actually embarrassed at how you are talking to "fellow" members on this board. I am half expecting you to call everyone who bought this phone stupid and a downright plague to your obnoxious, as you claim, "Right" (a legally incorrect term as it is in no way a right...and before you try to argue that, I am a lawyer and your armchair lawyer attempts only aim to insult my doctorate and profession).

I honestly don't care one bit if someone returns the phones or not for the boot loader being locked. If I felt as though I still needed root, which at this point was only for Viper, I probably would to. Alas, I no longer see it as a need with this phone. I hope the people unhappy with the device for being locked find a phone they enjoy or that the new Nexus is similar to what they wanted in this phone.

It's also clear that the people claiming XDA is only for people interested in root, and those that got the note 7 somehow aren't, that they have never visited anyone of the countless topics, categories, threads, or anything dealing with everything under the sun except for root. Entire sections dedicated to modifying without root, sections on reviews, accessories, apps, etc all without a mention of root. If you are going to make such a generalized statement I suggest you get the evidence outside of the title of the website first because otherwise, as you put it, you end up embarrassing yourself.

Fair enough. Yes, there are a ton of those of whom you've described, absolute pills that come crying to xda when they've bricked their phone from being too lazy and not following directions. It makes you question if they can even read.

A Dev Edition would have been enough to cater to the enthusiasts and they should have released one from the start. We can agree to disagree, but the point being made here is that we are being locked out of our freedom to do what we want with a device that we have paid for.

How about issuing out unlock codes only after the device has been paid in full? I'd be okay with that if they were to put a system in place to make this happen. They could even put a menu on the screen where you would have to swipe multiple times asking if the user is 100% sure they want to unlock (BL) the device to prevent accidental unlocks from occurring for those in the corporate field.

Anyhow... I used to have a ton of music as well, but now they are mostly on my cloud and if I'm on the plane I just bring my USB Flash that has my entire library on it. Then again...with the new 256GB cards....new times new times...
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] iunlock:
Oh trust me, it's not that we don't know this already. Of course we...well I don't even feel comfortable saying "we," to assume anymore due to the coming out of the closest with many on xda who are perfectly content with being locked out....but anyway, "most," of us are upset with the fact that communist tactics are being used against us in preventing the owner of the device to do what they want with it. Samsung and the Carriers can maintain the best of both worlds if they wanted to and it wouldn't be something they would have to go to the extreme to make happen. Simply, just give the users a choice in whether they want to unlock the phone or not. Do you recall how HTC used to do it back in the day? It's not something where the wheel would have to be reinvented.

All this corporate nonsense is not excusable and for anyone to think that it is....:rolleyes:....is surely in question as to why they are here on xda in the first place, let alone this thread.

To each his own.... although you're okay with how the phones may be out of the box, the bigger picture here is the phone modding culture that is being threatened from these lock downs occurring; preventing enthusiasts to mod their phone the way they want.. A nexus is just that. A plain vanilla device that can be customized to whatever the user wants to make it their own.

Let's take music for example: Classical, Hip Hop, Rock, Jazz you name it. How would you feel if you bought a new car stereo and found out that you can no longer play certain stations, genre of music and/or access the bass or treble. How miserable would that be?

Hi. I am new to the android community so please bear with me. This is only my second android phone so I'm still exploring in terms of modding and development.

I got really interested in the kernel stuff and decided to explore it a bit more. I found this useful thread on a Nexus 5X forum (http://xdaforums.com/nexus-5x/general/guide-advanced-interactive-governor-t3269557) and decided to try the same thing for the OP3. The key word here is try.

I pretty much followed the whole guide step by step and then made some modifications myself. I am in no way proficient enough in the area to know exactly what I am doing so I am trying to ask the community for help. Here are the settings that I changed in the EX kernel to try to get better battery and performance. So far I got good performance (146k on antutu with OPLite Rom though!) but battery drain is terrible. It would be great is some people could help me look into this and get some very nice tweaks so that the whole community can benefit from it. Cheers
