White House, FCC chair agree SIM unlocking should be legal - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

in a nutshell, the whitehouse agrees that the DRM ruling was never intended to prevent owners from unlocking their phone. Though no official change has occurred, it's a step in the direction to reverse the initial ruling.
here's the link:

Or those of us who don't have the exact same browsing history as him, since those were probably geo-based/cookie-based ads.

You're completely welcome for the update. I figured since the last thread on how it was illegal was such a big deal I figured I'd share a tidbit of information for those who don't normally read other tech news or other threads. You could have just left the thread to die like it was going to do instead of having such a huge stick planted so deeply that you felt so entitled to instead of saying nothing or a simple thanks you HAD to comment in such a jerkish manner.
Again you're welcome
MOD: please lock this thread as EVERYONE already knows that the FCC ruled that it should be legal.
Thanks...

WRONG
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/the-white-house-replies-and-they-agree/
1: not ads
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/the-white-house-replies-and-they-agree/
2: I don't save history at ALL...don't have cookies enabled AT ALL
3: the stories shown on the side of the forums are updates AS THEY ARE POSTED ON THE PORTAL
4: most people don't pay attention to anything posted on the portal around here and because of that, there are always threads started with links to a story somewhere else that people could have seen the day before here on XDA if they were actually paying attention
5: AGAIN, those are NOT ADS......THOSE ARE STORIES FROM THE XDA PORTAL THAT ARE UPDATED AS THEY ARE POSTED. "geo-based"....lmfaoooo ....I love how many "experts" we have around here
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/the-white-house-replies-and-they-agree/
6: I'm running an AD BLOCKER and if you actually looked at the screen shot I've posted, you would have realized that.
7: THOSE ARE NOT ADS, THOSE ARE STORIES FROM THE XDA PORTAL AND AD BLOCKERS DO NOT MAKE THEM GO AWAY
8: The funny thing is that MODS are going to see this thread and laugh at everyone here who is trying to attack me for being "wrong". I'm not here to hold hand with morons and tell them they are right. The reason why most of you people think you know more than you do is because you have idiots following you around all day listening to your crap and they don't have the common sense to tell you that you're WRONG.
I don't have a problem with idiots....I just have a problem with idiots having an internet connection.
This thread is no longer worth my time. Have fun trying to convince yourselves that you can find a way to prove my first post wrong.
And just in case you idiots didn't see the link I've posted to the "ad" (I still can't believe you think those are ads) on the portal...here it is again:
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/the-white-house-replies-and-they-agree/
This STORY (not an ad) only has 16 comments. WHY? Because people don't even bother checking the portal for news and updates around here. Yet someone can post a link to the same content on a different site and people will go 5 pages deep in a thread around here. It just shows the problem XDA members have with actually using the sources on the site to find the information they need/want.
You people wonder why you have so many problems installing ROMS and finding things on XDA. You don't READ or pay attention to ANYTHING around here and this thread proves it. Go ahead, check my post history all you want. See how many post you find by me trying to get help with something around here. You will find that it hasn't happened much if at all because I actually READ AND PAY ATTENTION. You will also see that I never post anything that has already been posted on the portal because I READ AND PAY ATTENTION.

There's actually no need for this thread. As mentioned its in the portal. Also this law never really affected this device.... So it shouldn't be here anyways... Thread locked

This you should ask in a warez forum, not here.
Hey, I thought my piece of useless sarcasm was a pretty strong attempt!
An "I don't know" would have been sufficient.
Also, I will drop the subject now Mr Policeman.
There is no need to ad another post with "I don't know" in it as another attempt at humour.

I can not believe a thread about warez could last so long omg beyond closing a thread imo i think a ban or two for a couple of days would be more like it.
Please do not talk about any warez or stealing software on a developement site. Its so desrespectfull seriously. There are plenty of game sites forums for ppc's. This thread was started in the wrong place and has references to warez!
Im no one here at this site and anyone that would go against a sites specific rules is no one as well. I think you owe some people an apology especially Flar and vijay555 as this is a slap in the face.
Please don't warez Posted By: vijay555 On 20-06-2007 07:29 AM
You may have read that the owner of WebIS posted an open letter to the community not to use warez.
Have a read! I'm quoting and linking to the original.
Piracy is a huge issue for the software industry, but to be quite honest its nowhere near as huge as what the RIAA and MPAA and SBA make...
wow i got one good reply to this post the rest are a bunch of babbling idiots talkin nonsense about warez and drunk people thanks guys.

LOL! Well it could be 'cos you posted in the Hermes Upgrade forum and games aren't really an "upgrade"
As for the warez stuff - as a lot of people here are (in some way or another) spend a long time dreaming/developing/actually making great stuff for PPC's for very little gain - warez that take the small amount of revenue from the genuine developers who work the PPC platform are generally frowned upon.
If you want lots of new stuff in the future, and support and development of the Pocket PC platform then please support the developers and pay for your software - especially as some of the really good stuff is at shareware prices!
Guys, seriously. As many sensible members have written above, this board does not support piracy.
Think about it - a lot of members on this board are developers, coders. Whether they sell or give their work away, the stuff doesn't write itself. I've just spent two weeks, two weeks, trying to draw an ellipse. I see elliptical arcs in my sleep. I think in beziers. When I'm done, you'll steal my code and reward me by making my children go hungry. Thanks in advance! Mi casa su casa. Tell me when your wife's feeling frisky and I'll come and return the favour.
Frankly, I don't care what you do on other sites, just don't bring your bad habits to this forum. We don't serve your kind here.
Requesting warez, and providing warez will get you warned or banned by me, depending on my time of the month. Other mods/admins might react differently. But take a hint from the vast majority of your fellow members: we don't like piracy on this board.

i hope that piracy thing wasnt on me. i said nothing about free games i just wanted some help in my search for some games. and i didnt mean to get everyones panties in a bundle. im somewhat new to the ppc world and was looking for help. so far this forum has been really helpfull with general info and some upgrades. it made my 8125 the coolest thing ever. which is why i now have the hermes and back on the forum. thank you guys for the info. i do some research in other threads.
dont worry about it, just take the time to make sure that you take the time to search before starting a new thread and then take the time to make sure you if you need to open a new thread that you create it in the correct forum. This is not really a general ppc forum but it would have been best to post a thread of this nature in an off topic forum or general forum. Not a device specific, upgrading forum. First off games can be used on many devices running the same platform (os) and are definately not considered an upgrade.
The warez is not on you just take the time to search for topics before creating new threads.

that was meant to tease them even further but no seriously is ridiculous, all these threads about htc one x, sgs3, to buy the note now or wait...we all know android phones come out every week there will always be a new better once 1 week after you buy yours+I dont really think somebody will decide to buy a phone just based on what xda members tell him but whatever
With all due respect, I posted the thread because I do value your opinion. I have been a member of XDA since 2009 and I can proudly say that the forums have people that do try and help out others. I would do it. Since I value the opinion of people at XDA, why post it on twitter or facebook where most likely one out of 100s will have the phone? What is the point? I posted my link in the general topics where GENERAL things are to be posted - consider it chatting but in a more structured way. To all you people that joined just a few weeks ago, you should not even comment since you haven`t even been here long enough to comment on why there are certain posts in the forum.

You seem friendly enough so i don't know where the instant flaming seems to come from.. Either way, here's some advice : this is the Samsung Galaxy Note forum.. Therefore asking about which phone to get is going to have an obvious answer. Try a more generalized forum.

Actually, it's only you that does not care. The purpose of the forum is for information. Information from other members whether or not it is personal or a link to something on the web.
I am looking for a new phone now and I am interested in the Note. Unfortunately I do not know anyone with one, so I ask here what people think of it.
Their opinions are a valuable part of this community and have helped in my decision. They didn't make the decision for me, but they did help me in making up my mind.

You should get the Note! Its a fantastic phone with great versatility. I came over from iPhone a few months ago, and I can't believe how much better this device is. I just rooted and flashed a ICS rom, and its great! You won't be disappointed.

Other peoples opinions don't make or break mine, but it's good to hear feedback on an expensive device before purchasing. really the OP got flamed right off the bat for no good reason, it was a simple harmless question: and if you didn't like the Queston it's as easy as not responding to the thread then.

Listing of ICS based ROMS CDMA/GSM

ICS has not been officially released, but please read this topic
1. Yes, ICS was announced for Evo 3D GSM and Evo 3D CDMA.
2. No, it was not released yet.
3. Stop asking HTC when they release it. Nobody knows.
4. Stop blaming HTC, Sprint and any other provider. It's not their fault. They have a lot of phones. Everybody wants ICS. It's called project management. Everything is set according to a project timeline.
5. Meanwhile, you can try some ICS here:

I hope this thread will be sticky.
Again: stop posting your emails from HTC. We know that ICS will come. Nobody knows when it will come.
Romania??? Your English is better than most Americans who post on here. LOL! Good job on the thread. I've resigned myself to the same fact...it'll drop when it drops and no amount of emails or posts are going to change a thing. They know we're waiting. Hell, the Galaxy Nexus has been advertised for months on Sprint's website and still hasn't dropped. It is what it is...
OP Your a Douche bag!
The reason for delay is a complete marketing strategy. they want you to pay attention to their HTC One. (Do the math: more sale for htc and more contracts for sprint).
Persoanlly I am not going to upgrade to the HTC One, if they drop ICS for the Evo3D. It is not that a big move from Evo 3D to One.

Well I guess it is the latter...
Everyone is looking forward to getting an ics update. Some sit tightly... waiting, enjoying the cream of GB roms; some start unuseful threads like this here...
Only reason for me to write this post is obviously to gain some thanks from the opposite camp and to say my part about this ics-hype-mess that keeps piling on theese days at ridiculous rate . Again..one way or another, imho this thread is same junk as any other "Ics will come in shortly!!!" thread. Howg

With respect, you could make that video in 'almost' ANY country. It's easier in America as there are a LOT more people to pick from. And let's not forget that America came from pretty much every country anyway.
Now, back on topic, I agree with the OP. I also notice a lot of the slagging off is coming from really low posters, likely with nothing much to contribute, but lots to take. Think before you post if you want to be part of the community. If you are actively abusive, the community breaks down, and you have LESS to gain. Be polite, and contribute.... you will have MORE to gain.
This threads needs to be stickied... and all the posts below the OP's deleted.
Lastly.. seriously.. did anyone come into this thread actually thinking ICS was released?
Way to get my hopes up OP!

Perhaps it would help to get a dedicated ICS info thread like in the O2X section?
And please stop with the personal attacks, you only detract from yourselves.

There was some silly bickering going on, and the mods asked for it to stop. Guess it didn't. But I would have thought it would just be locked and not deleted. Unless the OP asked to have deleted. Too bad.

DAMNIT!
I was using that thread as a reference in an effort to get several of the major tech/Android blogs to post articles about the black clipping problem. I don't understand why the mods had to delete the entire thread when all they really needed to do was delete the last page or two of nonsense brought on by one troll.
I may try to start a new one if the mods don't/can't bring the thread back...
I think I'll try to get an admin at XDA from http://www.xda-developers.com/contact/ to look into this and possibly revive the thread. That's way too much collateral damage to control one user posting a couple stupid comments
Hey guys, I'm definitely still here. I said a couple of things to PeartFan40 that were direct, but not disrespectful in response to his belittlement. I was just trying to respond to his trolling and trying to make him realize that his "input" was not welcome. But I guess the mods thought it went too far, for which I sincerely apologize. We received a warning from oka1, but we didn't say anything off-topic following the warning.
i agree that post is very valuable
especially since i see now no solution was found,and black clipping still exists
REVIVE!

Ahhh i vaguely remember he was the one that kept saying it was all a source problem. Oh well, ive contacted the xda admins so well see where it goes. Does anyone remember the mods name? Might be good to reach out to them also...

The mod who issued the warning was oka1, but I don't know if he is the one who deleted the thread.
I smell a conspiracy
I think Samsung wants all threads closed when talking about black crush/clipping on their displays perhaps they got to XDA? I read the thread since it started and found I have the clipping issue. I don't care to argue if the clipping issue exists I wish there was a dedicated thread to discuss solutions to this.

Official AT&T (M8) Off Topic Thread

Hello mods and fellow xdaers!
I have opened this thread for off topic discussion. We had similar threads in the Samsung skyrocket and note 2 forums.. I find that these types of threads really help the teamwork aspect of development by giving members an outlet to talk to each other without cluttering a development thread.
--
I am a new user to this device but hopefully will be assisting others in no time. My history speaks for itself lol.

I'll be updating this op once I get back to my pc but here are the rules of this thread:
1. No flaming bashing politics religion hate prejudice bad feelings nonsense allowed!
2. No instigating the XDA Moderators.
3. Mod Edit: Follow the Forum Rules and everything will be great...Enjoy
Just be nice.. say hello... Post silly memes... Be friends and learn stuff!

Hey, great idea. These threads are usually hanging out in every forum. I'm new to the phone as well. I usually hang out in the One XL and Grouper forums. It should be fun starting a community here and helping out. This phone is incredible.
I like the "Off-Topic" threads. You start seeing some of the same "regulars" on your device forum; and its a great way to chat about various things (not M8 related) and get to know each other better.

i agree. it's usually the regulars that start to hang out here. it's so weird going from samsung to htc though.
I'm used to seeing a familiar face or two when i switch devices but the only guy I'm familiar with here is faux from my inspire 4g days.
eventually all the heavy helpers and trolls end up here lol.

How did the picture i created for the Bacon thread end up here?
Truly bizarre!
And an Off Topic thread in the Off Topic section..the mind boggles! Does that make the thread itself, or the Off Topic section, on topic?

Welcome back enjoy.
In case anyone cares... I just brewed my third batch of beer and am starting to get yet another hobby under my belt.
So far I've brewed an American light beer.. an Oktoberfest and the one I currently have bubbling away is a Hefeweizen. Very excited to try my next batch.
:beer:

I know a lot of people getting into the beer brewing thing. It's been getting more and more popular in the last few years. I've been thinking about making some myself. any beginner's hints?

yes. start small and be sure you enjoy the hobby. a lot if brewers may not agree but a cheap Mr beer kit is a really great way to get started. I'm into my first five gallon batch right now. joined a local beer brewing club to learn from others

Any PC Gamers here? The Steam summer sale is ongoing. New deals every day, with lots of games 50-75% off.
Call of Duty games are 50% off. Also picked up Tomb Raider (the 2013 release) for $10.

I'll definitely have to check it out. I'm a dual os steam gamer. See if I can find some good cross platform games cheap.

I'm sure you'll find some good ones. When they had their Christmas sale, I bought something like 8 games for $70. Given, I'm a parent of a young child, so I don't game as much as I would like; so catching up on games that are a year or 2 old (so they are cheap).
I posted a few videos from my DJI Phantom 2 Vision + if anyone wants to check them out (FPV with the M8 works flawlessly)

There's a few more on my YouTube page also
