My Verizon store story.

I thought I would share this with you all. It's kinda lulzfull that people know who we are.
I am currently with T-Mobile, but am more than likely going to switch to Verizon when they become AT&T-Mobile late on this year as I hate everything that is ATT and refuse to give them my money. So anyways here's the story. Note that I am ME and the Verizon guy is VZW, and that it's kinda emelished for the lolz, but this conversation did genuinely happen.
Me-Oh hai, I'ma lookin at switching from T-Mobile to you guys and would like to ask about a Thunderbolt and see what kind of packages you all offer.
VZW-KK coolio. The T-bolt is awesome, but kinda expensive...might I reccomend the !FASCINATE!?
Me-TROLOLOL it doesn't haz froyoz!
VZW-BUT IT'S COMING! I SWEAR.
Me-....-.-....bro, I am a moderator at XDA developers...I know stuff.
Then the entire conversation changed.
VZW-...wow really? I visit XDA all the time! I used to have a Fascinate but I got tired of waiting for OTA Froyo so I went with the Thunderbolt as soon as it came out. I still have my Fascinate though and I use the newest Superclean ROM. What board do you moderate?
Me-....the HTC Rose...and the Fascinate.
VZW-Really?
Me-Yeah...names ashasaur.
VZW-DUDE. I KNOW YOU. MY NAME IS-(deleted cause he doesn't want me to put it here). I like what you did with the trolling.
Me-Yeah that stuff is kinda outta control but I am working on it.
VZW-Yeah that times_infinity dude really trolled everyone bad, I thought you where gonna ban him.
Me-Naaaahh. We are all cool.
VZW-So yeah, the Fascinate SHOULD be getting Froyo within 2 months...but again, we have hearing that for the last year almost.
Me-That's why I want to go with the Thunderbolt, because of good updates and solid HTC hardware.
VZW-Well I have to say that I admire all the devs at XDA, and that I love the custom ROMs for the Fascinate. I have used basically every version of SC that has come out and love it to death.
Me-Yeah I hear that SC is a pretty boss ROM.
*20 minutes of going on about plans and stuff*
Me-I do believe I am going to switch here in about a month.
VZW-Awesome, we look forward to having you.
Me-Word.
Anyways, this HONEST TO GOD took place. I was geeking out the entire time over the fact that someone out there knows who we are. Anyways, that's my story. Thoughts?

That's cool as heck! I've been a xda fan since my moto q

Too cool. I can imagine everyone else in the near vicinity just stopping and shocked at what they could be hearing. Not all Verizon reps are as 'unenlightened' as we might have believed to be the case many times

Great story! This XDA community (and related AC, etc.) is certainly a subculture to itself...

It's funny about that Froyo stuff given that it was really just two days away. I'd wait for Droid Charge if anything. The T-bolt sucks battery on 4G and apparently it's a hardware issue with the chips inside it not playing nice with each other.

i will say this...what jcase originally was lead to believe was gingerbread (blame p3droid for this) is in fact *not* gingerbread
for the charge it was just a full odin of ED2 and for us im not sure but it was confirmed to be just a froyo odin (probabaly ed04)
unless p3droid has something different then what we think he does (and i doubt it) he just mistook newer froyo builds for gb as im sure hes not familiar with samsung naming conventions as hes a mostly moto guy
many seem to think that verizon does in fact have a gb build, but its not in the testing system where its more easily leaked

Probably rejected more because of improper bing-ification.
Sure, Samsung has their problems, but Verizon's insistence upon using the ****tastic search engine was the major hold-up for ED01.

Since I'm not incredibly familiar with his work, is that how he normally responds to questions? It comes off the me like he's got something to hide, either because he faked it, or somebody fooled him.

I'll habeeb it when I have GB running on my phone.

not to sure how this works but, does this get released for everyone or does the guy keep it for awhile? i'd love to have a copy to use until others work they're magic with it

You'll never see this version in that video. It will have keys and certificates and other ways to.identify who it came from. Once the main devs strip that out we might see this if it is legit.
On a second note that is complete garbage, why show us something then never give it to us? Oh wait cause this is a sham. This is why droid x users should stay in their hole.

If you've actually read his posts he DID give evidence. It was only visible in the GB leak. He never faked anything like that unlocked bootloader thing.

Yeah he does kinda get pisses but I do agree with adry, he should show the baseband. It was evident when he hesitated to scroll down to the baseband.

Now its up to 275 cause he feels like it.

Oh nos p3 says he isn't going to help us out. Bummer. Dude may be a talented dev but adrynalyne was totally justified in asking for baseband video. Doesn't make sense for p3 to wig out like he's been doing.

Fact is P3 is a VERY credible source and he and tbh have been cornerstones for the Moto Droid brand community for a very long time.
Who likes having their credibility questioned? Especially someone who's been responsible for leaks, sbfs and fixing bricked devices for forum members more so than anyone else I can think of.
Were the same video placed here by adryn, jt or another respected Fascinate dev would any of us even have questioned it's validity? I doubt it and lets just be honest...its egos and because he's an "outsider".
IMO we blew this one folks. But the whole thing handled very poorly by all parties. Oh well ****e happens no?

Fact is that if Adryn had posted a video where it appeared as though he intentionally hid the baseband, someone would have at least asked why. I have no doubt his response would've been far more civil than that of p3.

I'm not taking it that way. The guys excited to have root back. Can't fault anyone for that. I would be too. He even said he misses his EVO. Which I would greatly. Everytime I use my wifes photon I'm thankful for my EVO, even though its unrooted. The photon widgets are lame,not to mention there is hardly any (no clock,email or messaging widgets),no mobile data toggle,if your in 4g area it enables it to connect to data,the music app is plain Jane...I don't know..I'm not in anyway knocking the phone but just my opinion and only a comparison to what I have so don't take it the wrong way. If you love your photon,koodos. I for one have just grown accustomed to HTC I guess..

Not certain on the relevance of this thread.
IMHO, would have served more purpose had there been links providing more information or procedures to follow ... assuming of couse that such procedures weren't already covered in another thread - which would make this thread redundant.

This is an innappropriate tone to use and is disrespectful to fellow members. We receive numerous complaints that XDA has become a site where it is acceptable to be disrespectful and abusive. Moderators have been critized for attempting to be fair and lenient ... everyone has a bad day, right?
While on your week holiday, make time to improve your tone and attitude before returning to XDA; if this is unacceptable, please feel free to frequent another website - the Internet is full of them and easily located using a search engine such as Google.

4/2/12 :(

Here is the post if you still want to read it.
Android 1.3.3.7 Key Lime Pie has been released. Why did they go back to 1.3? Because they don't care, that is why! This update makes the Epic dual core. It also makes android completely closed source in order to keep 'uniformity' as Google says. Now all boot loaders will be locked so that more games can be made. This update will brick all phones that cannot run Temple Run without lag so that game developers won't need to worry about bad reviews due to lag. This update will turn wimax phones into lte and update the modem to get speeds of 1TB/s.
This update will be shipped to all users of the Epic 4G via floppy by the Pony Express within the next 2 months.
Changelog:
- Made proprietary
- Market renamed to "Not the App Store" to prevent being sued by Apple
- Made white the primary color instead of black
- Added advertisements in all parts of the UI
- Made it impossible to gain root access
- Made sure that hacking sites such as the horrible "XDA" are removed as they give people 'flashing' addictions
- Moar!

That's the upgrade coming in 6 weeks right?!
