NFL mobile app BLOCKS rooted devices!

New update to NFL mobile app actually blocks rooted devices! I guess Verizon is either paranoid or thinks they own MY phone and can dictate how I use it! I'm off to search for a way to subvert this on my way to giving this app the review score it deserves.
Please feel free to weigh in with any thoughts or suggestions. Like a root user is going to just sit there and give up...yeah, good one Verizon...hey look at that, is that a KICK ME! sign I see on your back?!?!

Ya I would think there's a way around it. Sq lite maybe? Not the best at bypassing stuff

I don't particularly mind. Never used it much. What pissed me off was VZW decided to add NFL Premium to all the lines on my plan without me asking for it. That's $6 a month per line I never asked for. Soon as I saw that I canceled it.

there are unlocked codes available now for it.

as asked above, what exactly is this?

I used themer solidly for maybe a day total before uninstalling it. Its a great concept in terms of making a phone look different from stock but it completely fails in ease of use. I don't use social or shopping apps but over half the themes have a folder for those. And deleting either folder kind of kills the look. Also, that weather widget almost never shows the actual temperature. No matter how my times I reopen the app, it refuses to update.

Method to make Google Opinion Rewards work outside USA (Anywhere)

First sorry for my bad English ,,, please forgive me.
Note: I upload video on YouTube for this method. please see it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lm7fUGtxhkk
this method for all devices not just Nexus 4, but because I have Nexus 4 I post the method here.
I have a method to make Google Opinion Rewards work for all country … first you need to install from play two app : Fake GPS and another app Psiphon for VPN
1. Go to developer menu in setting and enable Allow mock locations
2. Go to Location access and disable Wi-Fi & mobile network location
3. Open Fake GPS and chose anywhere in USA but I recommended chose New Jersey because the Psiphon will get you IP in this location then press Set Location
4. Open Psiphon then chose Tunnel whole Device then go to option and chose united states from Select region and lock for Tunnel whole Device to sure you are enable it then press start
5. Now you need to create new Google account to create US account ,,, go to setting then add account then chose Google and continue
6. After you created us account open Google play then switch to new account ,,, the US market will open ,,, install Google Opinion Rewards and if you already download it please remove it before install it
7. Open Google Opinion Rewards and chose new Google account then wait ,,, the app will open … continue with survey and input 08205 for zip code
8. After that you will receive new survey and after that you will get first dollar
9. After that you can close Fake GPS and Psiphon , and you can enable Wi-Fi & mobile network location if you want.
In attached file screenshot from my mobile to approve I get 1$ and the method is work
Best Regards

A lot of work for a few measly play bucks, but nice job.

I managed to get Rewards app to work with Tunnel Bear VPN as well, just used 90210 as zip code.
In terms of more surveys, can this work without vpn etc?

So far no further surveys.

Seems like Samsung is listening to owners

I just got recruited for a U.S. study of Gear owners.
Sounds pretty standard - Samsung are trying to figure out to how make things better and paying $200 to participants willing to give Galaxy Gear feedback for about 2 weeks.
Not sure how many they're taking but I spoke to a Jairo Rojas at the research company they hired at 818-530-1004 if anyone wants to get in on it. I got recruited because I also did a focus group in Los Angeles a while back.
Seems pretty cool way to make Gear better and make a little side cash..

So call and ask for ?

I am too old and cynical for this. Could be true, but if they ask for too much personal information, or money, then stay away, is what I would recommend.
If all turns out great, then that would be wonderful, but this is the Internet we are talking about, so be wary.

I know I got recruited because I participated in the past in focus groups with this company in LA so I know they're legit. While not a much fun as beer focus groups, I thought it relevant to share since we all want to see Gear get better.
I'm sure Google is doing similar things with Glass owners, etc. Plus the money never hurts as well.

Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk

many companies are giving a call and asking how did you like their product or service. does it mean they care about customers?
not really. this is the illusion of care...

Focus group are a thing of the past.
Acceleration and Innovation comes with putting a release out there and, test and learn which is what happening with gear 1,and the manager platform.
Samsung is learning now, real time, as everyone uses the products. Gear2 will be a great version. They will pack as much crap in there as they can because, it's setting the bar for the rest of wearable tech.

Gear 2 will be released in September at IFA..

I have some reservations about this statement. This is not the case, as they are trying to keep this product in a certain price point. As with most tech, small and incremental improvement, ie "refinements" are more likely on the future horizon.

First off this is against XDA rules, second off they're just APKs... Not that hard to extract. I don't think there's a big GearVR piracy scene though.

Nope shouldn't post it but here's a tip. Some have demos if you search in the oculus store so you can atleast try before you buy.

What an ass... for an already small community of developers, he wants to rip off the ones who are actually doing something. Ban this guy now.
