Beans has said that mobile developement is dying due to companys trying much harder to block us out. Why do it android was built on this platform. I personally own an android for the reason to make it what I want ( with help from everybody here) so why are they locking us out? I understand the company does what verizon says but why not leave holes for us? It used to be that way now its like the company wants us out as much as the carrier!
Anybody have opinions on this I just dont understand

Money talks. The more vzw can keep us out the more additional products they can sell us.
Vzw is a big company with good negotiators. Samsung wants to keeps offering their products to vzw consumers... and they realize it's vzws call.
Back room dirty politics. Its everywhere.

Yeah they're making their money now and got lots of popularity so no screw u. That's Sammy. Moto and HTC are going the other way leaving holes but once they come out of slide they'll change too.

My opinion is for you to take your sap and negative opinion else where.
This is a community of support and Improvement.
Yes with every update, new work arounds needs to be made.
And one would be very ignorant to think this is like the First time this happened with a brand new device.
It hasn't even been out a month and you're saying it is safe to say development is Dead?
There will be a work around released eventually.
It may come out by this weekend, it may come out by winter holidays or it maybe it will be worked out by spring.
For all we know, we could just end up in the same boat as the s4.
However, i strongly advise you to
Be patient and show your support to devs working day and night
or go follow another forum.
Thank you.
Hey guy I said not this phone!!!!!!!

I think that a lot of this has to do with security of the Android system. Remember that we get root and bypasses by dev's finding holes in security. That means that those same security holes can be used by rogue hackers to steal data. It's a big deal for all of us and especially for businesses. If Verizon and the phone makers wants to sell Android on the enterprise level, they have to prove that it's secure for enterprise use. For most users, this isn't a big deal. They just use stock. But for us...
I think the real issue here is that carriers are exploiting those of us who want an open device by charging full price and by releasing it much later than their locked devices. THAT'S the BS IMO
Ps griping about the company and carrier not the community I love this community and have been here since my droid eris

Ummmm....top poster. Just unnecessary. OP is not putting down devs. He's restating what the devs are feeling..are you following devs on Twitter? Some of the very best out there are refusing to touch a Samsung phone and many are just tired. Development isn't dead. It just evolves.
I think we should all say f sammy, htc, lg and anyone else other than nexus.
Android is going to take a huge blow once iPhone releases a bigger screen. I mean let's be real, if they start locking us out, what's the point of Android.

You need remember that it isn't htc or Samsung or any of the others for the most part. But rather verizon and at&t. Any of the other carriers can unlock their bootloaders on practically every android device

Well after waiting what seems like forever for ICS I just finally bit the bullet and bought a Galaxy Nexus. I can say without a doubt that I will NEVER buy a branded phone again.
Its so awesome having a factory unlocked device that comes with ALL original accessories and NO bloatware crap, in the intended packaging. Jeez. I was really disappointed with what ATT did to the sgs2. Also I hate how the resale of US phones are CRAP. I was having a great time taking care of and flipping my iPhones every year. Boy was I surprised when I came to Android. With an international, hard to come by phone like the Nexus, resale will stay high until I want to upgrade to something better.
I am totally happy with my purchase so far. The phone really is great and the build quality and design is superior to the sgs2. The screen is really excellent despite all the negativity I read about the pentile display. Yes ICS is the majority of the reason the phone is so great, but I would still chose it over the sgs2.
Good luck to you guys, hopefully an official ICS leak comes out soon because you really are missing out on a lot.

When sgs3 gets announced I will sell my Nexus here in the US for top dollar and import the sgs3 and have it 6 months before anyone in the US. It will also be factory unlocked and hold a way higher value than the US versions AND ill get Google updates 6 months sooner.

Because it will be 150 more and they have to order from over seas and deal with all that. A lot of people are impatient and want something they can get locally.

Just what I noticed. I'm thankful for my S2 and I love it. I'll buy an S3 a short while after their price goes down. The Gnex is dropping in value, just like all phones. I've sold each one of my devices for nearly what I pay for them.

And as stated when you posted in the wrong forum, people don't generally make custom ROMs for phones that they can't test their ROM on.

Then you have the constant, should I get this or wait crowd. The Sprint won't give me free stuff crowd. The I wish it had XXX feature group. This forum and many others are full of crybabies. It is a phone. It is only a few hundred dollars off contract. If a few hundred dollars off contract is a lot of money to you, you probably need to switch up your priorities and not buy expensive phones.

Last year when i purchased my evo3d sprint was paying $125-$150 for my old evo plus giving $75-$85 per line on early extensions. When a company does something like that it will cause a person to sit back and wait for a good deal to come along. Good forums like this one, that pass these deals on, sometimes allow us to get a great phone for next to free. I'm still shopping for an evolte with the same money i used on my original evo.

I understand wanting to get a good deal. I just don't understand all the *****ing about it when Sprint tries to turn a profit. I only paid $125.00 for the LTE I ordered, I am sure my EVO 3D will sell for close to $200. I expense it, so it doesn't matter regardless. I bought my Treo 650 outright though for $650, at the time it was a great phone. It is just money, I'll make more.

While I'm excited about this device, I'm still on Sprint's network in an area that didn't have WiMAX, let alone 4G.
So . . . I'm not willfully upgrading until Sprint gets LTE in my area. Then I'll ask myself that same question: new iPhone, new whatever Android, or new BlackBerry (heh, you never know -- they might come back with THE BOMB!!) . . . until then, my HTC E3D rooted, unlocked and unstocked will suffice.

If you are serious.
It sounds like you like ROMs, right? Than means you like the whole development aspect of android phones. Then why the hell are you even considering a iphone?
I just can't fathom how somebody can't choose between one or the other.
If you want the status symbol and to be like everybody else, and you like to be spoon fed - go with the iPhone.
If you want something that is more than a phone, almost a hobby, something you can theme and Mod w/ bumps in the road - go Android (and this phone is the beast of Android right now).
If you like to tinker with the phone, go android. If you like things dumb'd down, go iphone.

Cause TW is garbage. Plus Sammy = slower than balls w/ updates. To me the S4/Adreno 225 isn't that huge of a boost to warrant being stuck on a carrier controlled device. Yeah they say it does better in benches but I could care less. Tried my friends AT&t OneX and it was laggy to the max.
Really hate to see you leave, as i currently use your ROM, and its amazing. I have had this phone for only 3months, and was looking like there was hope for good developers on it, and now everyone's bailing out for the S3/Nexus. :-( guess I need to buckle down and learn to create ROMs myself.

Whats good enough for you is not for me. My brother has a nexus since day 1, the camera is essentially unusable, especially under low light conditions. Its not even considerable for taking any kind of pictures worth saving. The rezound camera is top tier in comparison. And i snap a ton of pics. If this werent the case, im sure i'd be very pleased with the nexus, but the camera is a deal breaker.

I just think its funny, the power of marketing can pull people off a superior phone in terms of hardware just by hyping up an inferior phone and allowing more wide open software development. .........but when we get source what will be the difference? I dunno guys, I'm pretty happy with this phone and I really don't like these goodbye forums. It gives the illusion that something is wrong with the rezound and further perpetuates the hype and needs to stop.

Don't think they're implying there's anything wrong with the phone. But everyone knows there's something wrong w/ the Rezound's community/forums. That + dying development is imo pretty legit reasons for wanting to change phones. Hard to pass up the Jelly Bean!.

It gives the illusion that something is wrong with the rezound and further perpetuates the hype and needs to stop.

There is something wrong with the rezound, the community for it is dead and it doesnt look good at all for the future of the phone. Most people who are on XDA want to own a phone with a strong community, Rezound is furthest from it. I am waiting for the Note 2 and im done with the rezound at that point.
Thanks for the heads up. You've contributed a lot to the Rezound community.

As soon as I get a chance to go through it, I will post my opinion of the thing compared to my Rezounds.

There's a successful root method. And it looks like there'a a real chance of circumventing the bootloader lock.
if you wanna get insurance on it, PM me about Protect Cell. it'll be cheaper than buying it through Verizon..just go read the thread about the dude who lost his rezound, he has protect cell and loves it.
OK i want to know how good the radio and gps signal

Me too.
Think my girl is gonna wind up with my Rezound, and I'll probably get the GS3.
I just hope it's a development friendly phone.
I don't think it's gonna be dev friendly, at least according to chainfire

I started this thread over at Android Central. It's a bit inconclusive, but I'd say it's tending towards weaksauce.

I dk yet, this phone is friggin weird. The way it works makes my head hurt. the aboot.img file is constantly changing and writing new information, but messing with certain parts of it makes the phone not boot.
I don't know who invisible is, but he is a beast so far. He just really doesn't seem to have any help from any real devs that actually have the phone yet. I see things changing very fast once more people get the phone in their hands the next few days.

well i mean, having to use toys due to the lack of size/girth in your genital area would do that to anyone.
Who of you who are SOLthinks it may be time to jump ship? I personally don't know what to think at this juncture. No offense AT ALL to the developers who brought this device along before it was updated, but I know that many of us (Whether by choice or otherwise) ended up with this updated, Fort Knox phone, and who are now seeing the Bootloader Unlock thread being closed, AND are now feeling well...a bit disconcerted(?) I am feeling...well...I don't know what to do ...I am kinda at the point now that I really want out. Where are you guys at if your're in our position? I am kinda wanting out at this point. But I would hate to ditch a device that I was originally SO HAPPY to own! :crying: This REALLY SUCKS! :crying:

I don't think these kind of threads are going to do any good. In fact these threads and posts are the reason why devs abandon projects/phones.
One thing is giving feedback, another is filling forums with useless stupidity.
Maybe we should make a thread collecting a bounty for a new unlock method.

Tried that already. I don't know what the one dude is complaining about, to me the DNA is still a sweet phone. I hope some DEVs are working their skill and trying to unlock the new FW, but if not I'll live and not be a jerk to other people here. Since I've joined XDA I have had nothing but positive experinces with help rooting and modding a few phones. If they end up leaving the DNA no worries and if they work on the new FW that would be super great too and appreciated by many.
I feel bad for you guys that are still locked, but I wouldn't be concerned about it not happening... IMO the devs working on it are extremely talented and the chances of it staying locked are very slim. If there's a will, there's a way. Also, I don't know if this still applies to our phones, but for what it's worth most of the recent Moto phones, including my bionic, had locked bootloaders and they were still rooted and ROM'd. My bionic had root, a TWRP-based recovery, 3 custom roms, and it was overclocked... All with a locked bootloader. The only thing I couldn't do was use a custom kernel. Have faith, it will happen.
I should also add, if you are just too impatient to live without a rooted phone, that's understandable, I'm sure you guys are just itching to mod it. But if you really like the phone, just be patient. It will come in time.
Wow, lots of Internet tough guys in here.

I've seen several bounty threads go pretty far. The last one I recall was the root exploit for the XT912 Droid Razr on JB. Djrbliss did pretty well for himself with that.

I know with the Razr, the op lost track as once djrbliss posted the root exploit people were just sending in donations without saying how much. It was at close to a grand when the root was released and then all hell broke loose.
They're at $450 for an unlock for the Atrix HD (pigs will fly first when dealing with Motorola).
The samsung galaxy s3 on vzw got to $3,800 before they unlocked that.
I understand people develop android without being compensated, but hell if a large group of people just start waving money around.... It motivates people. I'd love to see a bounty started. I'm just not too sure how many people would be into it.
We don't even have an R&D thread anymore, the outdated unlock thread was turning into that before it got locked.
All I know is with complacency, our beloved DNAs will fall into obscurity pretty fast.

Dude,
The OTA has been out for how long? Do you realize that when the DNA first came out it took a long time to get to where we were pre-OTA.
If you don't wanna wait then sell the damn phone. As far as your whole "we, the people own the airwaves" comment....
LOOOOOOOOL!

I'm still waiting for you or someone else to tell me what I said that wasn't accurate? You do realize the FCC does license the waves lengths to the phone companies. They pay a large sum of money for this privilege. And like I said already, the FCC being an entity of the federal government, we the tax payers own the commission. So by proxy, we license the bands to companies like verizon or sprint.
Or maybe you can put me on track?
