I'm thinking about getting the HTC One but I want to know what changes Verizon's made to the device. Hardware and software changes. I currently have the Galaxy Note II and I'm disgusted with what Verizon did to the phone. Removing the WiFi toggle and replacing it with an ongoing WiFi notification that can't be disabled, removing Blocking Mode, putting their ugly logo on the home button, and making completely unnecessary changes to UI.
nothing to the hardware i dont think.
the software is raped with verizon stuff, per usual.
nothing a little root wont take care of though.
its a great device .

Also rooting this phone is very easy
none
All Verizon's bloat can be wiped out with root and a custom ROM, and it is so easy to root. Just download rumrunner, find your build number, right click in a exe file and let it go.
Get the device, i've had it for 6 months and really like it.

Think again. VZW deleted the FM App, but even if you reinstall it, you'll find that they also disabled the ability to have the headphone cord act as an FM antenna.
Result: instead of listening to any FM station in your location at no charge, you can run up Verizon data usage by an app like TuneIn.
So to this day the most updated HTC one for Verizon has an unlockable bootloader and is root able? I have the galaxy s4 and am considering buying one off contract but only if it's not locked down like the Samsung s4 is.

The specs are so close it doesn't matter... The Samsung is slightly better on paper but lags sometimes with bloated touch wiz and I think it's locked down right now.
Yes us s4's on Verizon are locked down. But we get to play around with some Roms due to Safestrap recovery. Last question. Anyone know the off contract price of the One? Only one I can find is from release day.

Just lost my phone in taxi I'm rooted also have face unlock and pattern unlock secondary. Is there anything I can do to assure the finder can't use it. Or can I track it. I'm on monthly 4g so no insurance!
That sucks man. As for gps locating your phone I believe that's offered by your insurance, or if you had any type of Norton, kaspersky, trend micro etc security on it. They offer stuff like that. Otherwise you might be SOL. As for them getting in I don't know. Maybe someone else can shed some light on that answer.

2nd to the Plan B. That works amazingly. Also, check if you have a cab receipt. You might be able to use that to identify which cab specifically had the phone. You can call into their dispatch office and ask for that cab. Lookout is awesome too.
I called the cab said he saw no phone. Another passanger could have gotten it. I'm not even going to bother now what's done is done. Thanks to you and everyone for your help. I wanted a new phone anyway maybe my wife will get me one for fathers day.

I find that the GS3 is not much of a significant upgrade from the GSII. I would much more suggest a Galaxy Nexus since it will still be relevant for many more months to come. The GN comes with pure stock ICS not that TW crap. The GN is almost certain to receive jellybean directly from Google pretty quick while the S3 will have to suffer through what the SII just went through from GB to ICS

Sent from my SGH-T989D using XDA
I would recommend setting up a pin lock on your next device, that way whenever the phone is restarted it prompts you for the pin. It doesn't matter if it's been wiped or not, it registers with your carrier. Also, as added security, I use Avast and from there I can remotely wipe my sd card and the phone, thus removing any chance of someone getting any of my personal info.

Sadly something like that I shouldn't have to root for. If it is advertised I should have it on my device without having to root. I actually prefer not to root because there is nothing rooting does for me since 2.1.
Also I don't think it's a copyright or patent issue. Sony has open sourced their screen recorder and contributed to the open source community. So Samsung could use that much like CM has done for theirs.

I know, I know, CarrierIQ is a bad thing, but I'm now at the place where if I root my phone, I will loose the ability to use my new best friend which is the ISIS app. I'm one of the few individuals who live around the Austin Texas area, which is one of he cities that ISIS has rolled out. I have been depositing funds in my ISIS account, and using it for purchases like gas, and groceries. If I was to root my phone, I will loose ISIS, and the ability to watch movies from the Google Play store.

You can opt out of CiQ. It's on page 346 of the user manual. It doesn't specifically state that's CIQ, BUT that's what CIQ does for T-Mobile. CIQ isn't as bad a people think or claim. Due to HTC's bad implementation of the software given to them by CIQ they got a bad rap.
Guess what was just announced? A new s4 with lte advanced technology, a snapdragon 800 processor, and 32 gig built in storage. Wtf Samsung? I just bought the s4 and now your dishing out a new version making owners of this phone feel disappointed. I'm sick of this bs.

I just got the new update an hour ago and wanted to share my thoughts because I know there's still a lot of people wondering what it fixes. So far I've noticed:
- Phone in general feels much much quicker.
- gallery no longer lags.
- switching from wifi to 4g o longer lags the phone
- camera is improved. Still slight shutter delay but I'm thinking it must jus be how it works since it's taking such high quality pics.
-updating apps in the play store no longer makes the phone lag.
-one of my favorite things is the home button response speed is really fast now(yes svoice home button is disabled) I noticed the home button used to lag sometimes. Much faster now.
- I noticed some buttons in the camera and gallery are different and have some extras. Haven't had much of a look yet.
-it appears all my apps are on the SD card now.
I can't comment on battery life or anything else yet but I'll keep an eye on it tonight.

I wish you would go get a pos iphone so I won't have to see your bs post on this forum anymore for real
Excited to see if this fixes the slight but noticable lag on the keyboard predictions.

Just waiting for the update, I dont mind the locked bootloader as im not going to root this device anytime soon mate. However I was voing to root so I can use the apps2sd feature but since I heard about the update, root not needed. Till the galaxy s4 no longer runs the latest version of android then I will root. Tmobile your always last to do anything hurry it up will ya.
Unrooted Samsung Galaxy S4 Up and Running
Rooted Mytouch 4G Slide retired
Rooted T-Mobile Sidekick Touch Obliterated
Rooted Mytouch 3G Slide Lost
Rooted T-Mobile G1 Dead

Verizon locked the Bootloader so apparently you lose root and can never root again . . .

LOL. Yeah, that'll last a day. :laugh:
Called T-Mobile and Samsung today and they both said that they didn't see anything about a new update for our S4.

Not without unlock currently. Which, if you were unlocked i would assume you'd have already rooted. Sad to say there isn't anything for those that didn't get the unlock while it was available on day 1.
Not at the moment unfortunately.

maybe you can trade it for a note 2. Note 2 has plenty of modding going on.

dont buy a phone you wouldnt want to run stock. Most people see that as a difficult idea to grasp, but whatever. if you ABSOLUTELY NEED ROOT TO FUNCTION, this is not the phone for you right now

No don't get me wrong I love the phone because if I didnt I wouldn't went from sprint to Verizon and got the same phone . Even people at the Verizon store said you must love that phone ,but if you haven't tried viper4android on these it's truely a treat

and I totally understand. But there are like 8 threads about root, and they all have the same answer right now, and theres even a donations thread and someone who you can pay to s-off your phone.
It's getting a little nuts with these new root threads when the answer is - no, you can't root (well, bootloader unlock) right now. I mean it's literally on the front pages of the forum for this device.

Sorry.

Just torrent the FoxFi app full version. You need to install a certificate which means you have to enable the lockscreen on your phone...but whatevs. Works for me.
Idk how i did it....but i use foxfi hotspot without lock screen pattern...which i remember it required me to have 0_o

If you can live without your phone for a few days, send it to Sonic and he'll give you s-off... costs about $30. I did it, worth the money.

Once you have s-off, you can unlock your bootloader and also get root.
Check out the thread, it's well worth the time.

With a view like that, CyanogenMod wouldn't exist Nor would any type of custom ROM/Kernel/Recovery

no, with a view like this, I'm happy using a phone that doesnt have root yet, instead of mindlessly saying 'durrrr I hate sense, but I bought this phone anyway'
