Away from what
edit: Jesus, just clicked the link... at least make a real attempt? what the hell is
"To:
Kwon Oh Hyun, Samsung USA
Daniel S. Mead, Verizon Wireless
Samsung USA and Verizon Wireless
Please unlock the bootloader of the SCH-I545, respectively. We wouldn't want this device to be retired due to the fact that the people are not fully satisfied with it in its current state.
Sincerely,
[Your name]"
First off, this was clearly copy and pasted... Why does it say "Please unlock the bootloader of the SCH-I545, respectively". The word "respectively" would be used if there was multiple things being asked for, with different details to each... saying respectively lets you know that the list of details was given in the same order as the list of things those details apply to.
Secondly, who is "We" in the "We wouldn't want this device to be retired due to the fact that the people are not fully satisfied with it in its current state"? Because Samsung DEFINITELY wants you to retire you S4 and buy an S5...
Thirdly, that sounds vaguely like your trying to come off threatening... is that really the intent?
Lastly... Is this a letter I am supposed to send it? Its like the description of this petition but then has a generic [your name] at the end where I would expect the author of the petition to have signed?
I'm on your side and I found more things wrong with your petition the the number of sentences it features. Thats not good.
Please don't come back and say "OHHHH I DIDNT WRITE IT". If you didn't, please don't redistribute such crap... really poor representation of our requests.

Hey buddy hop off. I will say I didn't write it because that's what I want to do. Secondly, maybe you should work on developing and attempting to better the community rather than being an ass hole. Thanks and have a nice day while leaving me alone so that I may do so as well.

If you want to watch thats fine.... but Its an Android Development community. You reposting ridiculous online petitions is certainly not bettering the community and honestly if I can do even a little to keep us from being represented by that piece of **** I will have done a great service.

If I were an executive, and got a letter/petition written like that, I'd just dismiss it as coming from someone having a hard time keeping up in middle school (and who's parents were actually paying for their phone). Seriously, that petition is a waste of time and effort.

Your hearts in the right place man. Maybe just clean it up a bit and make it more professional.
Also... go easy guys...a mod is definitely going to step in here and clean this thread and possibly close it due to the language.
I'm not taking sides... I get where both of you are coming from... just maybe could have been said better is all

I think the other threads died for a reason. It's a futile effort.
I'm pretty sure that I read recently that the Department of Defense just approved the Knox security system. What's that mean? Samsung can potentially sell millions of phones to the government, who is not interested in phones that can be hacked. Now, consider the hacking community. A couple of thousand potential hackers. Which do you think Samsung is more likely to pay attention to?

Sad to see you left the rezound. I totally understand though. It's rough over in that forum. I was looking at switching too but I'm shocked there isn't at least root for this phone. Anyway just wanted to say thanks for all your past work and I wish you well in your future endeavors as well

root will come, same thing happened with the Rezound, htcdev worked at first (unofficially) then months later it was back officially.
same will happen with this phone IMO, AND S-OFF is being worked on already, the Rez took 6 months before S-OFF had interest
Newts Rez bricked from what he told me
I wasn't going to say anything but this kinda annoyed me because it reminds me of the little babies that were running around the rezound forum... I fire up my computer and i see that some little kid or kids rated this thread real low and I'm trying to figure out why, so if you guys don't want me to dev for this device just let me know... Don't be afraid to speak up that goes for the the devs to... If you my being here bugs you that bad I'm all ears and if so ill be gone... And if it was not anyone from here that did it thats fine also I just don't want to waste my time here if im not wanted
Man newt.. they must be rough on you bud.
Hope it gets better, sad to hear people are being an asshole to a good developer. I'd be happy to see you on the OG Incredible again or the Nexus!

i didn't see anything like that, ????? i think people are getting antsy waiting for something, i'd just ignore it.who cares what they say!
I dont even have a DINC or Verizon in this matter, however, every place has trolls. You can't ever get rid of them. It's up to you if you want to dev or not. Nobody is forcing you. I like the smaller communities since you can get to know people and make more connections. I'm trying to find a way to "crack" HTCDev's method for unlock_code tokens. I want to do this to learn and to have fun. People will bash me, even though they are idiots. I just report them to a mod and the mod will handle it and keep them in check. Overall, do what you gotta do.

Can we just agree to ignore it? Drama comes in many forms.
I wouldn't pay much attention to it. I don't read threads because they have a high rating. I read them because they have an interest to me. If anyone is able to send you a dev phone I very much doubt the rating will scare them away. Besides, your rep as a good dev means a great deal more.

I don't even own this phone, I'm still on a Dinc, however I just voted the thread 5 stars, does it impact the difference of you dev for this phone or getting a used phone to dev on, it probably won't or shouldn't. I also sent the email, about the bootloader, and I spoke with VZ exceutive office about the locked bootloader, is that going to make a difference to VZ on unlocking it, probably not, but I did it for the group cause, because I would like to get this phone.
Honestly, it's guys that have the time and talent like yourself and other dev's that help make these phones what they are, if you aren't interested in this device, that's your decision too but I think 99.9% of us don't have the knowledge you do on these phones, so we greatly value your work, and would like to see you and others help us out, while we try to do what we can to help out.
I don't know what happened to the REZ forum, but I've heard it was a bunch of BS Drama, that I've never seen on the Dinc forum, maybe your burnt from that experience, don't know, but I wouldn't let a thread vote sway your opinion on this group here.
thankfully newt has an Inc4 and will be up and going once root comes.
Some people are so unappreciated of the hard work done by devs that it amazes me. If I had root on my phone, I'd gladly switch. I've enjoyed your work in the past, newt, and I look forward to the amazing things you'll be able to do with this phone once it's rooted.

I agree. I've been here for 4 years or so, and up until this thread never bothered to notice the threads had ratings. Now that I am aware of the ratings, I will continue to ignore them.
I hope you get a dev phone so we can get the show on the road. I'm still trying to find patterns and see if i can "crack" the generator/algorithm HTC uses. It'll be hard and time consuming.

For the most part, if I didn't include the Tapatalk signature, you'd never know I was posting from my phone. People need to stop being so lazy and actually use proper punctuation and such when using their phone or tablet. Hell, you could use voice typing to do a better job with punctuation than what is in the OP, how much lazier can you get than posting without typing? All you do is make it hard for everyone to read what is there, especially if you're reading a paragraph that long on a phone with poor punctuation.
Call me a **** if you want, but if you want me to take you seriously, post so that I can read it.

I was enjoying the N2 section of this forum as it seemed like a higher caliber group than some of the other sections. I assumed it was because there were more adult business type folks using the N2. Apparently I was wrong. But then again, I think I saw a thread here for donations for the guy so he could get a N2 and develope for it. You'd think he'd be busy developing.

Say what you want about grammar and how unimportant it is.
I say, take a little pride in how you speak. People will judge you by it in this world and anyone who thinks otherwise is fooling themselves.
Grammar doesn't have to be perfect, but you also don't have to use a 500-word run-on sentence.
If you know poor grammar, slang, capitals, etc. bothers people and you keep doing it...that tells me that you have no respect for others.
Would you speak like that in public? Most mature people would look down on it too.
Yes, it is irritating when people speak up about poor grammar, but take it as an opportunity to improve yourself instead of treating it like an insult.
I feel ya. I have been lit up numerous times for missing a few .... or ,,,, . I can see if its horrible to read. But sometimes the Grammer police gotta chill a bit.

change.org *Petition to unlock Verizon bootloader*

With the bounty of almost $4,000 (last time I checked) you would think that someone/recognized dev or team, would step up to this bounty of unlocking the bootloader on the Verizon variant of the S4. Even since the ME7 update, (mid July?), I am surprised! I thought I would put in my 2 cents of the topic. There is a website called change.org, which is an online petition website. I'm sure some of you have heard it.
Anyways, I saw a petition of the LG 4X. A guy made up a petition to unlock the boot loader. Soon enough, the amount of required signatures was reached, and LG came out with an update and BAM. Boot loader unlocked. Here is the link: http://www.change.org/petitions/lg-electronics-seoul-we-would-like-to-get-the-opportunity-to-unlock-bootloader-in-lg-phones
I'm going to create an petition for the Verizon S4, and hopefully, this works. Just a little bit of hope for you guys, I want it just as bad as everyone else.
You need to create an account on change.org, also you can use your facebook details. Doesn't matter. but make an account and sign!
Here is the petition, let me know what you think guys! :fingers-crossed: If I need to edit anything, let me know.
http://www.change.org/petitions/samsung-usa-and-verizon-wireless-unlock-the-bootloader-of-the-verizon-s4-sch-i545
EDIT: We've reached over 50 signatures! Keep em' coming guys. Thank you.
Verizon won't change their stance. That's why they attempt to please us by offering developer edition devices. That LG device you referenced to was a GSM unlocked device. It wasn't tied to any carrier specifically and therefore LG could directly appease those demanding change. Verizon offers the explanation in this article in regards to why it's locked and it's probably the same response you'll get. just my 2cents
still doesn't hurt to try. I'm in.
i think everyone who likes to mod their phones should try this petition.
Exactly what black_label said. It doesn't hurt to try. I see where you're coming from, but let's just see what happens. This petition is booming in the last hour.

(Verizon) Please share your delivery day.

I know the last tread got ugly. But would like everyone to keep fellow members updated. As the time is counting to getting your hands on. With the most powerful Mobil device on the market.. I will confirm I do have my hands on. A fully unlocked firmware for Verizon. I can not confirm it works yet. Due to not having the device in front of me. Once I confirm it. I will post a whole write up on that.. With links..
Guys I am going to say this once.. Keep it clean in here.. And always keep us updated. . Thanks
Save yourself the problem.. Don't ask.
Thank you for your hard work. Did you get a chance to talk to that source on the release day? Hopefully you didn't hurt them too much. Lol

While I hope its true...I'm very Leary, as the s4 is STILL locked. I guess we will find out soon.

No expected date yet, but I did use that coupon code that was being thrown around and got 30% off . Now those f*ckers at Verizon need to get their sh*t together and send me my f*cking phone (sorry pre-ordered since the beginning is kinda getting to me...)
Please watch ur language in here thanks.

Because unlike you, I don't start threads with attention seeking topics that never come to fruition. I could care less if I'm labeled on XDA as a "recognized elite developer" or whatever it is or have some stupid, big thanks meter. Those things are worthless to me. What matters most is getting good, clean, easy-to-install workarounds to the foolish measure Verizon forces on the manufacturers out to the general public. You want credit, you'll get FULL CREDIT as the source. You have my word.

Rooting help

I recently heard that some rooting methods aren't all that great for rooting phones for e.g: when I rooted my s3 people constantly had a hard time hearing me speak when on the phone that being said what is the BEST root method?
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note® 3
That would have nothing to do with it as far as I know. Root away.
The two most talked about here at XDA are CF-autoroot, and the kingo method.
Apparently the kingo allows to to potentially root w/o tripping the knox warranty counter. Which may or may not effect your Sprint warr. (but as soon as you install a custom recovery, it'll trip the knox.)
The other is the CF-autoroot, which trips the knox. Which may, or may not effect your Sprint warr.
The CF method was made and is maintained by our very own dev-extraordinaire Chainfire. Verified gold standard of rooting here on XDA. I recommend it.
Low call volume may be related to a rom you flash, but never "caused by rooting".

But if Knox is tripped it pretty over
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note® 3
No it's not. Mine works great with Knox tripped. Don't know how you go from rooting then to tripping Knox causing problems. Don't root then.

Agreed. That makes no sense.
If you don't have a solid Reason for rooting, certainly don't do it.
And if you are actually worried about warranty, don't do it.

Also, after poking about a bit, it seems like you could be a little more gracious to the people you are asking help from.
You ask a fair amount, get good answers, and rarely respond with anything but another question, and never say thanks or hit the thanks button.
just saying.
most members here are too polite to mention such a thing. not me.
polish up on your forum community skills, man.
or you'll find people start ignoring your questions altogether.
Knox being triggered has no functional affect on the user experience. If you have to get your phone at Sprint it MAY be an issue but from my experience those guys are so dumb they won't realize and if they do realize they probably have their personal phones rooted and don't GAS

Well, there we go, huh? Thank you for so very succinctly proving my point, and confirmation that you've the vocabulary and social skillset of a preteen.
You're right, the people here in this forum, especially micmars as an example, don't "own" this site. But maybe with your exceptional observational skills you noticed that it's RUN by members, by users that create and foster a community of respect. And especially here in the Note3 forums, it's a small community of tight knit, well seasoned users, with Years of rooting/modding/general android experience, all of which have now seen you have no place here.
So you're right, it's irrelevant, to you. You won't be receiving ANY help from this community.
And insulting micmars? Hehe, you've made no friends with that. No one here is impressed with flippant BS.
Good luck elsewhere!

ALL users are expected to be respectful when they post, and use of the search feature wouldn't hurt either in this case, as there are plenty of other threads that touch on this subject already.
Keep the self-righteousness and attitudinal style of posting for the social media sites folks..XDA is for development.
