The app does a security check. Technically being Rooted can breach security so they check for it and notify you about it. How does that make them "pricks" ? If you don't like it, then disable the app.

you can do anything you want with your phone, when you buy it outright..
they just dont want you doing anything you want with YOUR phone when you are on THEIR network..
not saying I agree with them, as I have also denied it access and frozen it in titanium, but I understand why they want to know what is accessing their network from our phones, I just dont like the sneaky way in which the carriers do this without informing customers up front..
and rooting has NEVER caused me any issues when needing service or warranty from Tmobile...

unfortunately, they dont know that..
EVERY public network in the world is subject to endless attacks, hacks, and attempts to bring it down, so the carriers, just like the banks, the feds, the military, and every other public institution feel its their right to know what people are doing on their networks, and i tend to agree with this.
If you dont like them watching what goes on on their network, then go back to the days of coffee cans and string to communicate with others, because every carrier and every network provider watches and monitiors everything possible on their networks; there is no getting around that in this day and age..

I should hope not. Let's hope XDA remembers that not all its members reside in the U.S. and that unlocking is perfectly legal in other places.

I think maybe people should read into the article a little more?
The new rule against unlocking cellphones won't be a problem for everybody, though. For example, Verizon's iPhone 5 comes out of the box already unlocked, and AT&T will unlock a phone once it is out of contract.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That, to me, sounds like it's only ACTUALLY becoming illegal to unlock your device without your carrier's permission to do so. So... you know... like those of us on AT&T who decided to just chat them up and ask for the unlock code for our GS3's would be in the clear, since it was permitted by the carrier.
Has anyone seen this yet?
Apparently its going to be illegal to unlock your cellphone if you purchase it from a carrier instead of outright buying an unlocked phone.
http://consumerist.com/2013/01/25/a...roviders-permission-to-unlock-new-cellphones/
I think we should all sign this petition
Webstas, none of my post below is directed at you. I can see how it would come off that way. That is not my intention at all.
Let's read a bit more into this. It is NOT going to be illegal for you to unlock your phone. It WILL be if you do it without the permission of your carrier. That means that T-Mobile and AT&T will have to do it for you. For Verizon (and Maybe Sprint but not sure), there is an FCC requirement that any devices utilizing 700MHz for LTE cannot be locked.
In your link, it states:
So what that all means is that, if you have a cellphone right now, you can still unlock it at your leisure and not be breaking the law. But any phone purchased after tomorrow will need to be done so with the permission of your wireless carrier.

Then there is this from Cnet:
Starting this Saturday, it becomes illegal in this great land to unlock a new smartphone without the permission of the carrier that locked it in the first place.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Legacy phones seem to be exempt to this policy for good reason.
Enforceability? I highly doubt you'll get a jail sentence for going to a 3rd party to unlock your phone. Maybe a small $20 penalization on your bill. But really, how could they enforce that? Are the big 4 going to run some algorithm that will scan all of their customers IMEI numbers and ping the mothership when the come across someone that used a hack or 3rd party? I doubt it.
Not saying that there isn't cause for concern at BigBrother again dipping his hand in the cookie jar. But let's not get the pitchforks and torches just yet. Petitions are great ways for people to voice their opinions and great things can happen because of them (ala Change.org and the Verizon $2 "convenience" fee), but they need to be worded correctly and not some rant like many become.
My work filter won't let me look at the petition that you linked, so I am not sure what it says. I work for lawyers, so I tend to think the way they do.
Its true...better get your new phones NOW before this is enacted across the board.
http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105...king-of-smartphones-becomes-illegal-saturday/
Plus, T-Mobile makes it pretty easy to request an unlock anyways. For customers on a monthly plan:
- your T-Mobile account is in good standing;
- you have a minimum of 40 consecutive days of active service with T-Mobile;
- you did not request an unlock code in the last 90 days (except in connection with a device exchange or upgrade);
- the device has not been reported as lost or stolen;
- T-Mobile has verified usage of the IMEI applicable to the device; and
the device has been completely paid for.
I just requested the unlock code for my old G2 and got it in about 2 weeks.
I only bought unlocked phones in the past. But since there is only one carrier I intend to do business with, an unlocked or locked T-Mobile phone won't matter to me.
Would this be true for contract bought phones? Or even phones bought without contracts?

After I heard about this a couple of days ago and I was driving home from work sort of zoning out and I wondered :
Could websites like this one get into some sort of legal trouble? I'm sure that I am way over thinking this, but a lot of websites specifically show step by step instructions on how to ROOT almost every phone known to man. But then I thought to myself.... Just because something may be against the law, doesn't mean that you can't talk about it or have instructions on how to do such a thing. Okay, now I'm questioning myself after that description. What do you guys think? Will this have any effect on us going into the future?

T-Mobile will fight this full force. Their newest game plan is to have AT&T customers bring their unlocked phone over to them for use on the T-Mobile network.
As for us current T-Mobile customers, all you have to do is simply call them up and tell them that you are going out of the country for a while. They will give you the unlock code for free within a couple days. T-Mobile is really good about unlocking. Honestly we, as T-Mobile customers, have nothing to worry about with this matter.
(Though I do still agree that this is a total BS law which should be overturned).

I don't think they're that reputable when most people disable the pre-installed version when they get their phone.
Most people don't disable anything. Hardcore phone jockeys like here on XDA do, but that's because we disable EVERYTHING that's pre-installed and unessential in the usually vain hopes of boosting performance. And if they weren't reputable, I doubt Samsung would deliberately partner them with KNOX.

That most likely doesn't work because Verizon has to lock down everything. I hope it does though. Let us know what happens

We are not on this list or the turbo before us so that's not gonna happen
Anyone know if Wondershare will root it? I've rooted my tablets with that one click root process before, but not with my DT2 yet. I have my DT2, but not sure why I'd root when there is no development for it yet. btw my DT1 with LP wouldn't root with Wondershare.

The only reason I want root is for mobile hotspot.

The Link is useless as are the Moto chat employees.
They left me realizing the unlock and root may be WAAAY down the road.
I root for the good apps as Verizon talked me out of my unlimited data. where is titanium????
The hotspot app of theirs (V's) does work out of the box. it just eats Data.... Ive been mad for a year over my decision. I MAY refuse the box in the morning just over Moto's shenanigans on not letting me unlock a $700 phone I paid for direct. FOOLS...

+1 to that. Hotspot would be priceless.

So you either don't have unlimited data or are paying the extra $30 a month for the feature.

Again, mobile hotspot doesn't work if you have unlimited data. Since it took about 6 months for the original Turbo to get mofo root, I have a feeling it's gonna take just as long, if ever. They still haven't found a way to write to the system within an image.
It's a shame, they got you good with getting you on a tiered line, and of course they're gonna give free mobile hotspot to tiered users for that exact reason that it eats up data. It gives you a greater chance of going over your data cap, therefore, putting more money into Verizon's greedy little pockets.
I usually average around 75GB a month, so there's no way I will EVER voluntarily give up my unlimited data. They're gonna have to pry it from my cold, dead hands before I ever give up my unlimited data.
