I was dealing with an app issue and app store support point out that my phone was rooted and they do not support that. I do not know if I should be concern that they snooped my phone or not but it does seem like a pretty big privacy issue.
It may be no big deal but I was quite surprised. What is your take on this?
Think Google made android for humanitarian purposes?

Hahaha. That'd be funny. Call up google to see why you're having a problem with the app you stole off 4shared! Lol.
Yea I bet they saw your app list and noticed a root only app you may have on your phone, busted.

knowing your phone is rooted, for support purposes, is not the same as having access to your personal data. at all.
can't expect to have your car fixed without opening the hood, ya know?
and this is the risk we take when rooting, not getting "official" support.
Full e-mail log or it didn't happen.
No offense to OP, but I don't think anyone should take his word until there's proof.
No biggy, the app is RootExplorer. Its just associated with the wrong email account. I figured this out myself and they said that there currently is no way of changing the associated account with a particular purchase...so if you buy it with the wrong account you are out of luck.
He did say they are 'seriously' looking at add the ability to move an app to another account.
I would love to be able to gift an app, i would buy RUA for everybody

It could be as simple as the fact that you have downloaded multiple root only apps. It's kind of a giveaway.
I'm surprised that you're surprised by the fact that Google knows your business. If you take a look at the permissions for the apps that come installed on the Evo stock, you'll find that they all have every permission out there... or almost.
Big brother's always watching. I used to care, now I've just learned to live with it. I know it's strange, but I don't really care if someone sells my browser history for marketing purposes. Meh.

Hey guys,
here is HTC Facebook page.
Looks like it is starting to pick up with people complaining about the bootloader being locked.
Maybe we can all jump on there and let them know how happy we are that they are doing this, along with what other phones we will be buying now.
Hit thanks!

Here is what i wrote,
Signed/Encrypted bootloaders... Come on HTC... This really pisses me off. Think about it, really, what are you losing here? Almost nothing. It is the persons choice to root, so you lose no quality control.
But back onto the actually point. Signing/encrypting bootloaders or other functions of a device that a consumer owns was considered a radical idea. It was frowned upon and was thought of as childish. And that is how you guys are acting, childish. You lock down your phones because your scared of what.... progress?
I understand there are some problems for you with rooting. For example, free wireless tethering, ability to use leaked ROMs and other factors. But this is such a small hand off to wage war with developers. Microsoft did it, Sony did it, even Apple did it.... Look were they all are now. The hackers do everything they can to make sure they can hack and DOMINATE the devices they lock down. In Microsoft's and Sony's case, there is a difference in reason, piracy. Now, tell me, if I can already install any app on my phone, what piracy are you protecting users form by not allowing them to do anything custom with their phone?
You have brought the whole world a step backwards, as a lot of people believe in your philosophies, and eventually will standardize them. What this about to start is enormous, there is no problem right now for you because people aren't even trying to hack your gay signature checks. Why? Because those developers DONT BUY THAT PHONE. ------->DONT<---- Buy that phone. Now, once that this standdard is implemented with every single modern phone, you guys will be tormented by the constant stream of hacks and exploits the a full force of developers can bring. You will be stressed to the point as the iPhone jailbreaking scene replicates itself to Android devices.
I mean come on HTC, do you really want to start all of this? I wouldn't. By not locking down your devices, you gain more customers(even though its a small percent that would leave because of your decisions), you gain a better view from people as a good company, and you get the benefit of geeks saying good things about you on their blogs. Yes HTC, thats were all the reviews come from, US. We will spare you no mercy in our reviews if you condemn us to this treatment any longer.
On a final note, i hope to rethink your decisions to sign/encrypt bootloaders and other parts of the phone. The whole point of Android is to be OPEN, not CLOSED. Thats what makes it different. The point is to be open, no matter what COST or FACTORS convince you otherwise. I do not even want to buy the HTC Evo 3D now because of your changes. Now HTC, rethink what you have done, please, and see if you can change it before it gets out of hand. In the end, you are the company that gets to make the decisions, but we are the consumers who buy your products.
Thanks so much for a great ride so far HTC,
You will be missed

- Purpose of this tread is not to complain about LWP. That's why its called "Atrix Trade In" and asks "what is the best way to go about trading in an Atrix." For purposes of this thread, it doesn't matter WHY I'm doing, just the best WAY to do it.
- I know standard ways of selling a phone. Just like you can sell anything else. I'm not an idiot. That's why I asked for the BEST way to sell the phone i.e. some exchange that I may not know about where people exchange devices etc, or potential some return program through AT&T that I may not know about.

Well at least you'll admit it - that's the first step, I guess. Moron? Do you even know what the word moron means? Apparently I have "mild retardation" because I asked how to sell a phone. That makes sense.
And this is General Atrix forum. Development questions go in the Development forum. XDA, true, began as a development forum but has obviously expanded. Check the rest of the threads in this General Atrix forum - most have nothing to do with development. If anyone has mild retardation, it seems to be you, because apparently you can't read (note: illiteracy is a sign of mental retardation).
Thanks for the tip on Craig's list! I'll check that out. The lag comes in when you use a launcher with animations with LWP. LWP works, just not well enough for my tastes (I bought "the most powerful smart phone in the world" so things like this wouldn't be an issue).
The OP isn't really looking for help. This is just an attempt to take a jab at the Atrix veiled as a request for assistance.
At least that's my take on it.

Didn't Google say that the video wasn't real and was concept? Pretty sure I read about it on endgadget

As catastrophic as it's gonna be, people are gonna buy it, it's the next best thing, so screw safety, lol.

Cool! But I’m sure Apple will sue anyone who tries to manufacture them!
Since they hold "retina display" patent already, they will certainly try to apply to everything to squeeze as much money as they can.
I like the design, but we already have a big enough problem with texting and driving deaths. The last thing we need is another distraction.

Does anyone agree? I just got on on there, which I don't do frequently... All I saw were things that people liked and shared... No status updates. I mainly used it to keep up with people who lived far away. Ever since the introduction of the Share button it's gone downhill.. I'm finally giving in and trying Google+.
Yea I used to be on fb all the time but not any more. Like you said too retarded.

This sums fb up...
I deleted mine 2 years ago
Why don't you just go back and get on yer myspace soooo coooool.
FB is too much of a memory hog to use on my devices. I use it for the PM's only (on my computer) to communicate with relatives in other states and countries. Other than that, yawn.

LOL, I just went to sign in for the hell of it, and it's completely changed again. You have to go through a whole new sign up process even after signing in with your old account then choose if you are a 'type' of entertainer(musician, comedian etc..) or a fan. Then import things from your old account. Except since noone uses it anymore, you can't import any old friends, can't import your pics..pretty much only entertainers who you friended that also ported over their account.
It's set-up COMPLETELY different, the whole page layout is confusing. Everything is side scrolling.
Edit:There is a reason why noone uses side-scrolling in large web applications, I guess Myspace didn't get the memo.

XDA has become my new Facebook. I hardly do anything on there anymore. Sometimes I'll get in the mood and do like five posts, then I'll go a week without looking at it (except for notifications) long distance friends and family are the only reason I keep it.. I didn't care for G+ either. XDA is hands down the best social site for me.:beer:

Is it only on JellyBean devices that Facebook continues to be an epic failure? I can't even get the news feed to load so I can poke fun at peoples posts.
