I have to buy a new DNA from Amazon after I was reimbursed through squaretrade for my old broken one. Are all the new DNAs preloaded wtih 2.06? I have a feeling I'm going to miss my old S-off DNA a lot....
No. Mostly 2.04 and prompting to update to 2.06. Rarely will you find version 1.xx

Waiting for moonshine.
Bought my DNA a week ago new on vzw online and it was 2.04 out of the box. I hope we get an soff option for this version soon...

No Verizon SUCKS for locking their phones. 99.5% of people could care less about being unlocked so they just don't like .5% of us. Not sure what you comment has to do with anything do you like locked phones? Just wondering cause it sounds kinda like it. Just saying...

LOL, I agree. First off I just got my DNA Wednesday (for free) and It shipped with 2.04 and I haven't received any update notification as to this moment. Second - I have avoided Big Red for the last 6 years and things like this make me wonder if this was a "good move" for me. However I will admit that the Droid DNA is one of the best android devices if not the best they offer this phone a bad-azz no doubt about it. I like HTC and I think they would or could care less if you boot, root or pollute your phone that's why they offer the unlock codes but they have been doing a terrible job marketing their products so when the #1 cellphone provider in America say's NO, they will certainly comply.
I just got one as well in the free deal and it came with v2.04. It has been asking me to update to v2.06 though.
There is a new way to root with S-off, it is done and getting ready for release for all to do if so desired. serious, any day.

Should be able to check in the bootloader. It's right up at the top below where it tells you either S-on/S-off.
Used the promotional coupon from Verizon and got my free DNA this past Friday. It had 2.04 out of the box. About 3 minutes after I powered it on I received the notification to install 2.06 which does nothing but fix some kind of sim card problems people were having. I did not do my research before upgrading to this phone and had no idea that rooting was not an option at the moment or that may have been a deal breaker. I came from the rezound and had it rooted the enitire time I had it. Sux not having a rooted phone after having one for so long. Almost feels like right now I'm in demo mode or something. Hopefully that moonshine method comes out soon cuz I'm in root withdrawal.

I called him today to accept his offer and get a Rezound my second choice phone. While talking to him before the call ended he asked if there was anything elese he could do? I said unless you are able to tell me why the boot loader is locked on my phone there is nothing else. He said "You have recived our letter and stance in a letter" heard that before. But, then he said "as the letter states we required by the FCC to prevent" mumbles " Thank you have a nice day" The letter doesnt say anthing about the FCC.

Rezound is my choice, NilsP create ROMS that I have come to like since the Samsung Omni days. I was planning on the Rezound because that is what Nils has and was deveolping for. This is still the phone to have if unlocked. Spec wise there is not a noticable difference between them while using the phones at the VZW store.

I switched from the GS3 to the HTC 4g mainly because of the reception. The GS3 is a better phone in every way except for the signal strength. You might want to test it before you buy it.

i haven't heard a thing from verizon, a couple responses from htc, thats all, course i live near the east coast, so
I went through 7 refub Rezound's (overheating, random reboots) and they offered me the inc4g and extended battery in replacement and I accepted it and when it arrived I didn't realize it was noticeably smaller then the Rez which I didn't want a smaller screen plus it had only half the storage of the Rez so I called and complained and he offered me the Razr Maxx and this is much better then the Rez and I am now rooted and loving it. Just holding out for the Note 2 to arrive.

I'm interested because superCID and s-off wont work with the new OTA and I will be really, really sad if mine comes with the OTA.

I got mine on Monday activated at the store, a few minutes later after the sales rep handed it to me it prompted me to update. Luckily I came to this forum before going to the store. Got home supercid, rooted, then s-offed. I Upgraded from a Tegra 3 One X and I'm loving this beauty
I got one last Saturday and it prompted me for the update a few minutes after activating it. I had to exchange it this past Thursday (screen cracked at corner of top speaker) and the new one prompted me as well.

Yesterday
I got the DNA yesterday. I'm a HTC whore going back to the 8525. Any phones I have tried other than HTC and I alwys seem to fidn reason to ditch them.
The DNA however may change my feelings. Not because of HTC but because of Big red. The limited storage which create the need for cloud service is also another reason. A of now most cloud service is free but as more and more people move to the service free will be long forgotten in the cry of
"To much cost to host so manu people" and then boom, the fee's will start.
Yea, I'm on a rant, and i assume you wanna know about the OTA. Got my dna yesterday, I am coming from a Thunderbolt. My phone did not have the ota however every 5min or so a friendly reminder to DL the update keeps popping up.
I did get root (if ya wanna call it that) via HTC dev by using the "other supported device" option in the links. The email was very fast and the token worked. I just now got a stock rom DL and am going to load onto the phone.
If you get your dna in the next few weeks you may be ok but as the supply of phones drops new phones will have the OTA in place. Also keep in mind this applie to insurance as well. IE you drop your phone call INS to get new one.
You may wish to look at other options if you wish fro true freedom in a phone. Soff on this phone is a ways away.

So in the next 2 weeks? Call me skeptical... to say the least. Also if that's the case then I probably wont be getting the One because I'm 6 months out for an upgrade. Guess I'll get whatever's after the One.
I am leaning more toward that the one will replace the dna in wal mart stores due to space constraints, but vzw, amazon, etc will probably continue to sell it
That is disappointing but alright at the same time.
All it has over the DNA ( most likely ) is the camera and development crowd from being global.

I saw this coming a mile away and people hated on me like no tomorrow. The first minute we heard about the One, I said that the DNA would be dead to HTC and Verizon. They were just too similar and it was obvious the One improved on some of the cons of the DNA. It was almost like "oops, we made some mistakes on the DNA, so here is our real flagship now".
With that being said, I just got a DNA again last week and am enjoying it. But let me be straight....If the rumors are true and Verizon is getting the One or even their own variant of it, I will buy it on launch day without even thinking twice.
Must be nice to be able to afford multiple phone purchases within a month. It amazes me how people buy new phones every other month. I don't see how people don't lose tons of money on doing that...

I actually made $50 to get the DNA last week lol. I traded someone my Note 2 and he gave me $50 for me to take the DNA off his hands.
When and if the One becomes available or gets announced officially, I will sell my DNA for $400-450 and either get the One for a couple hundred more off contract or use another one of my upgrades.
I usually never come out of pocket more than $100-200 to get a brand new phone. You just gotta work it and don't let your devices get too outdated. I absolutely love getting and flipping devices for a new one withing 6 months to a year. It's fun and actually doesn't really cost much. Especially compared to other hobbies which can cost much more.

Oh my god. I'm just sitting here and hoping what is assumed will become true! (This stuff is always a hit or miss )
Pretty glad things came up and I didn't upgrade to the DNA 3 days ago, that would've hit the regrets pretty hard (not that I don't like the DNA; but I do have a preference for the One and there seems to be issue with rooting the DNA with the OTA. I was really wanting to install sense 5 on it)
I've been sitting on the verge of my upgrade, contract ending on the 22nd. Will probably pick up the 32GB variant, going to assume the phone will be good enough for me as is without root.

Dude, you don't even know lol. I'm not married (yet), but my girlfriend just laughs now and calls me crazy. I have literally been through about 5 devices in the past 6 months.
I went from my S3 to a HTC 8X Windows Phone (I had to try it lol) to a DNA to a Note 2 and back to a DNA. Not to mention shortly before that I had a Droid Razr Maxx.
I'm a phone whore and I happily admit it!
You guys are kind of jumping the gun. Walmart choosing not to carry both phones doesn't mean the DNA is EOL or that other resellers will follow in their footsteps. So VZW may kill the DNA in favor of the One but they haven't even officially announced their carrying the One yet. And a "Droid" branded device helps shore up a brand they've spent a ton of money building so there's room for both if they see fit.
Regardless.. Eol or not, I'm not bailing on the DNA, knowing that a newer better phone cycles out all the time... No real reason at the moment.. I'll wait to see what's up next
DROID DNA 5
Yea most definitely. However, if I could go back three weeks I would have waited for this. I had the PUK lock issue today for first time...all Verizon store did is reissue me new SIM again...maybe if the issue happens again (which it will) they will give me a One...

We do not know anything for certain currently.
The fact as it currently stands, it could be like the Droid DNA (unlockable before release, locked after carrier release), or it could actually be unlockable after release. Confirmation on unlocking, rooting, flashing, etc. will not come until after the phone is officially released through AT&T on the 19th.
The world is not going to end if it is not unlockable for the AT&T one, I am sure someone will find an exploit. I understand that HTC is hurting, and wants money, but it just doesn't make sense to have a developer version that basically only supports AT&T customers, if the AT&T one can be unlocked.
Sit back, relax and wait until the 19th. I know the suspense sucks, but trust me, we all will manage.

The one x was never unlockable at HTCdev that i know of. I had one of the early ones that walmart was selling (before official release) and it couldnt be unlocked. (not without changing CID) The ATT One X+ which came after the One X is unlockable at HTCdev, still is to this day. Why would ATT allow the One X+ to be unlocked and not the One? I say the signs look good. Cant compare to DNA, different carrier. 18th may be right, he normally is. bottom line is we wont know till after launch. I do have a couple questions..99% is a pretty definitive. where do you get those numbers? and why do you think the ATT X+ is unlockable?
Sorry if I seemed misleading. 99% was based on facts that were created in my personal opinion I really have no more information than anybody else. I don't understand why the x+ is unlockable when HTC is STILL investing in keeping the one x locked up.
I can only speculate that the x+ was knowingly released at a terrible time market wise, and there was no real reason for people to pay or use a upgrade to get the device so it was left as a possible incentive to pull in owners of the one x and other devices. again, I really have no clue and don't mean to offer any information that is incorrect or misleading

Yeah thats good news I thought you had some insider information. The X+ was definitely released at a bad time, development sucks because of it. Some nice improvements over the X but not worth paying full price. I like the ONE so much i'm buying 2 at full price if i can. Have the dev edition coming and will buy an ATT if i can get it early. ATT did an early upgrade for the x+ so i doubt they will do it again so soon.
The htc one has been confirmed by Verizon for Aug 15th now (or week of). It's about time if you ask me but I'm happy it's coming. Mainly for what it means in development for our DNA now that that's a similar phone and it's cdma. Although ido wish i could u upgrade to this im content with my dna. What do you think of it? Anyone plan on switching?

After using my DNA, I don't think I could go back to a smaller screen. I may look into upgrading when Verizon Edge comes around, but right now I'm very content.

It's like T-Mobile Jump, all the major carriers are doing it. It lets you upgrade every six months by letting you make monthly payments on a device.
What happens to the phone that I have currently. Do I trade it in or just get a new one.

Where is your source for this confirmation? Everywhere I've read says that Aug. 1st is only a rumored date because of the road map leak which has been, for the most part, false so far. Do you have updated official news from Verizon I don't know about?

If you're asking about Edge, you keep it. What Verizon will do is they'll split the retail price of the phone into 12 payments, then you make a payment each month until it's paid off, then the phone is yours. No need to renew your contract or trade in your phone.
But enough about Edge, this isn't the place to discuss that

I had to go to a couple Verizon stores Friday. All the employees said the same thing (at different stores). They said it was just told to employees that morning. One is actually on xda too lol.

That is great news! I've been obsessing about this phone for months so at this point you could tell me it sprouted ears and a tail and I'd be ready to believe you lol. Sorry if this is asking too many questions -but I'm a woman and need details- did those employees state that the phone would hit shelves that day or just be ready for pre-order? Any word of a press announcement happening a day in advance or day of? If they are launching it Thursday and not making a big deal of it I want to make sure I'm there bright and early (or on the website) to get one! Any word of it being in red? Feeeeeed my HTC One hungerrrrrrrr :laugh:

By the time you pay it off HTC will have released a new flagship phone and the One will be left 2 generations behind in the Android world.

No, you have to hand it in... It's not really a consumer friendly thing. Just makes it look like it. T-Mobile are the only ones doing it right. With Edge you pay installments for you device and still have to pay the Verizon plan pricing setup to be profitable when handing out subsidized phones.
But back to topic, our phones are not that inferior to the HTC One. Actually only the CPU is older. Barely. Other then the sexy aluminium body and smaller screen, the phones are very similar. Well I guess the One has an IR blaster too.
I really want a One. I love my DNA but the One is just so sexy.

Well, thanks for the info on edge and the one. I recently got the DNA, since I went into the pool with my gs3 in my pocket. I am loving the phone. I had one issue with the proximity sensor not working properly. I had to root and the use the resound proximity calibration app to fix that. Is that a know issue with DNA.

About Verizon edge...
You lose unlimited if you have it
It's actually more expensive than a subsided phone
You have to trade in the old one
Rip off
Although the 1st is just a rumour can't say its been proven false till the 1st. Also a Google search reveals like 20 plus tech sites saying the same thing... I'd say believe it at this point.
