Sam Lewis of ATT called me shortly after this tweet was sent out. He advised me it is ultimately HTC that is responsible for the bootloader being locked. Not sure how much keeping his job may have swayed his response but we shall find out soon enough

We need to make them aware that we know about Carrier IQ and we need it unlocked right NOW!

I couldn't agree with you more. For now its frozen on my device. And will remain so until I can find a way to remove it.

I fully agree. I really like the Vivid but I feel with out root and s-off Im not using the phone to the fullest. I have 15 days left and if the above is not done by then, Ill be ordering a rocket (which I do not want to do...)

I now have a phone dialog going with ATT Customer Care because of a few tweets.
They implied that they expect me to relay that information back to the community and said they realize by talking to me they are talking to the community as a whole.
I have kept the situation updated HERE

Wow! We have incredible people here. I really feel like we're all making a difference!

Is this going too far? I mean yeah its a stretch on the truth but they lied to us so why not..

the way I see it... a voice is a voice... even an angry voice.
HTC & AT&T need to hear as many voices as possible... go ahead and be angry... let them know...
I and others with direct lines of communication will be calm and reasonable and can point to the angry people... and say "see the natives are restless"

Looks like I should get a twitter account one of these years lol.

They don't give a crap if you contact them in an angry manner. Those of us complaining about this are a minority, most people that buy these phones don't know anything about this stuff. The majority have never heard of rooting, or unlocked bootloaders, or ciq. They may appear to be listening but if they really were action would have been taken already. I'm glad I'm not an overly paranoid person, I'd never be able to use a cellphone after learning about all of this info that is collected every day.

Your post looks exactly like the one I put on the "Why AT&T users should boycott" threadm, I'm glad someone shares my opinion lol. While a boycott does nothing because of us being the minority, spamming their social media can actually do something. The general public does have a Facebook or Twitter, so when they see people complaining every single day about the same stuff on HTC's page, that doesn't look good at all on HTC's part. It raises awareness as opposed to just quietly boycotting a device when we are such a small percentage.

Is siri worth to warrant an iphone 4s purchase?

serious question cos my brother likes a good voice command.

Never.
FYI Siri was never Apple's invention. They bought the app from a developer and cleared all it's traces from the app store.

I don't think so, I tried it and wasn't that impressed and my friend who owns it doesn't even use it only when he's drunk and asks it stupid things. lol

Not very practical for out door use, Maybe to play with, or when driving but there are lots of other voice recognition apps available, Siri will also work withother jailbroken IOS devices, so if you wanted a cheaper iPhone or and iPod touch 4g instead

iris
this app does not function as advetised there are android apps that do the same functions there is iris,eva, and a few more. btw iris is siri spelled backwards. this tech existed before siri so apple may sue

And now we know that Apple is censoring or fixing some of the answers.

No.
If you want an iPhone, buy it, but don't buy it for Siri. It's fun the first three hours and that's it.

Insert palm into face (Not sure if you said that Siri is a copy of Iris. If not, simply remove the palm from your face and sue me)
Google's solution isn't that bad. It's not that "social" as Siri (no funny answers) But again, want an iPhone, buy an iPhone. Simple as that.

check out this review...

http://www.examiner.com/article/google-nexus-7-doesn-t-make-case-for-anroid-tablet

I read it earlier. Seems like a horrible review from an Apple fanboi.

I stopped reading about three sentences in when this "journalist" referred to it as the Galaxy 7.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

holy bias batmam!

This guy isn't a real journalist thankfully. He's a Grade-A dumbass though, stating flat out that the 'iPad Mini' is coming out in October. He has no credibility and this poorly-written article reflects that. Guess that's why he's stuck writing **** for examiner.

His "review" is basically the exact opposite of what literally everyone else is saying.
Where do they find their writers?

Lol he said Jelly bean is clunky... then tells us to wait for the Ipad mini. Smh lol.

You can tell its a fanboy article also from the viewing angle comment. I never once had a crowd of people around me going man "only if your tablet had a 85 degree viewing angle". Simple case of haters gonna hate
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

The Nexus 7 includes a 1.2MP front-facing camera. However, there is one main issue—there are currently no apps to take advantage of the camera.
Whaaaat? Did something happen to Hangouts, Google Talk Video Chat, Skype, and every other video chat app? And the plain old camera app can use the front camera can't it? Face unlock.......
What a deluded fellow we have here!

person is probably referring to stock without any added apps
but of course, probably wants to be spoon-fed a camera app

Obviously he doesn't like it, which is fine. But besides the tone which seems dismissive its also just poorly written. It's like a bad forum post. In closing, I wish I didn't encourage this crappy publication by clicking your linkbait

This is the typical iSheep review of any Android device, no matter how good it really is. Even the pictures he took / published are slightly out of focus to add a bit more drama to his pathetic article.
Oh well...

I have to disagree with everything he said apart from the lack of a SD card reader and that the home screen doesn't rotate
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

How are these people allowed to write such "drivel" (could use more colourful language but i'd be banned)....the nexus 7 specs outperform 90% of android tablets out there yet this imbecile is saying "if people did 10 minutes of homework they'd find the samsung galaxy tab 7 is better"......wow.
Not to mention in his first 3 lines he says "Google's new tablet has a less than spectacular screen, a clunky operating system and a lack of storage options" unless your fingers are concrete without any feeling of how to use an operating system then maybe, otherwise the rest of your review is doomed
Guys hiring this lunatic...take a look at the verge, unbiased and solely focusing on the product and not the competition.
iPAD mini??? there's only rumors and not an announcement unless you suddenly became a spokesperson for Apple, that said you wouldn't be reviewing this tablet and we wouldn't have to read your jibberish you looney

The examiner is pretty much worthless because most of their writers are hired online with very little vetting and (if I remember correctly, but I'm not 100% sure) they get paid per view. I have a friend who writes for them (political articles). Nice person, but she majored in music education and can't write a cohesive sentence to save her life.

It's a shame there's no comment section for feedback on that dude. Awful writing, terrible bias, and a clear lack of understanding of how to operate an Android tablet.
Bottom line, there's a reason Apple puts a wall around their garden... not only to keep the outside world out, but to keep their fanbois in. He'll be much better off feeling happy when Apple tells him to.

How do you manage your pockets?

If you're anything like me, you probably always have to carry around at least the following things: A wallet, a smartphone, your keys and maybe some headphones.
And all of these take away there share of space, the keys are sharp, the wallet is either uncomfy or in your backpocket where it can be stolen easily, the headphones keep getting entangled, no matter how carefully you wrap them around your phone or whatever you do with them, and I have to work with these annoying items most of the day. What do you do against these ****ing annoying everyday problems? (Pardon my language)

There is already a "Things that annoy you" thread - and even if there wasn't there would be no justifiable reason to ever open a thread for something like this
If it's that much of a problem for you then just get a handbag - given your attitude it would probably make you come across as more manly

"Off-Topic" means "Not to do with mobile phone development". It doesn't mean "Whatever you fancy posting for Sh1ts & Giggles" - and that is why you keep opening moronic threads that get filled with long-time members telling you to stop being a moron and then get closed by the good Mods on this forum.

I looked at the page but it seems to me that it's just a name the page it's buried in hate comments (from people saying not to hate)
I thought it was some sort of page where people were encouraging mutilation of animals but it isn't so it's simply the name that's ticking people off (you should read some of those comments......whoa!) I believe I it should be closed simply because of the number of haters commenting
PHONE SLOW CLICK ME?

K, why was comment deleted? If the page encouraged and displayed animal abuse, by all means, shut it down, and arrest the one displaying the pics. If it is simply one who states his dislike of dogs, I find no harm in that. Disagreement in one beliefs DOES NOT constitute oppression.

I'll sign the petition, but please leave the I Hate Ben Roethlisberger page alone... Thanks...

Doesn't really work. Now for example an "I hate people from a different race than me"? That goes down right away. Dogs aren't people. There's probably an "I hate cats" page nobody has said anything about. Or any other animal.

If it's just a page for people who agree with the phrase "I hate dogs"... so what ? That's not advocating animal abuse and even though I don't hate dogs, I'm not going to get worked up over it.
As they're not going around taking and abusing people's lizards it's not my business to police their feelings or word choices. My friend has a pet snake, but she understands that a lot of people really do HATE snakes and are extremely bothered by them and uncomfortable around them. Not everyone loves the same things, it's okay.
I mean, I hate Taylor Swift's music and her public personality. But I'm not saying I advocate abusing her, just like, maybe getting her to take a chill pill.
I dunno. I'm also a weirdo who thinks, sure have an "I hate people from a different race" page - that way you can out yourself as a racist asshole in public and everyone who's not can decide to avoid you / not hire you / put you on watch for if you actually commit a hate crime / et cetera.
