Is it possible to somewhere purchase the device GSM version and use it in one of the US Carriers? Or better yet, is there even somewhere I could buy the phone? I saw it searching for something else and its really just a badass phone
EDIT: to be more specific, a website or something obviously, I know theres no way I'll ever find it on a store also I noticed theres no Evo 4G+ section here on xda, I believe that means no one @ xda may have heard/seen it or no one may have used it??

I'm getting a bit put off by this forum, I'm finding very little useful info here I'm using a Verizon play not a Rodgers or any other carriers version I think the Verizon play needs its own forum so siffting though all the junk that does not apply to me and my phone just to get one post that I can use I mean it sucks anyone agree?

Not really mate, I find it very useful.. I did have Verizon version, I just flashed the UK generic firmware and now it doesn't matter.

It would get a bit mad if every provider got his own board... I'm getting annoyed with all the verizon talk that's going on. But since a lot of things are universal I wouldn;t want the boards to get split up.
Just don't open threads that state that they are for the R800i or for the rogers version.
The reason why you find few useful info about the R800x is quite simple: nothing has happened: no root, no unlocked bootloaders, nada.
You USAns should exert real pressure on your carrier cartel so that you don't get different models per carrier instead of whining about other people discussing their phone.
Hey be happy you get Vanilla Android.
kidding yea it can be frustrating when the Rogers model launched I was frustrated because their was no information or anything about it here because the European model was already launched.
Give it some time it will all get sorted out soon besides there is nothing yet for the Verizon Play.
I expect root to arrive soon because most newer android handsets like the Droid3 haven't been rooted yet and even european and canadian plays can't be rooted at 2.3.3 unless you use the loophole through 2.3.2 but your device launched with 2.3.3 so that is where the problem is.
Are device came with 2.3.2 thats how lame we are

American wants his own forum.
However I am sure there will be heaps of talk and ability to unlock the bootloader etc with the AT&T version.

There isn't any because there is nothing you can do for it presently? But I understand your frustration, going through hundreds of threads that is irrelevant to yourself is a huge waste of time.

Development is off to a slower start for the VZW Play but it will pick up eventually.
Just be thankful the members of this forum aren't always saying "Search before posting noob!" like the rest of the forums out there.
adb shove iPad2post.apk to /forum/thread
Ya I go into the android development section only to check the r800x root thread to see if there is an update, but I don't mind having a combined board. Just hope root comes soon.
We do not need a separate forum for one model of the Xperia Play.
The only real difference between the Verizon model and the rest is GSM and CDMA.
Verizon's model came with 2.3.2 on it but there is something blocking the Gingerbreak exploit from working, All you can do it be patient and hope that the Verizon versions see's some attention.
You cant go into every thread demanding an answer or wanting something outrageous to be done about the phone. Doing that will just piss off current Dev's and could ultimately hurt it for everyone.
Just sit back, relax, have fun with your phone, donate to help convince the devs to help us out, or complain. your call, but the last option will just get people ignoring you.
This should probably be in the Q&A, but I am looking for a quick-ish responce because I need to make a decision by tomorrow afternoon.
Ok, so heres the short form of the story. Went away for the weekend with friends had some drinks and took a cab home. Got a text in the cab, and put it down between my legs and forgot about it as I was getting out. Called the cab company and they claim no ones seen it.
Have the "lost phone" app from the market on it and all kinds of locks and passwords but none of it helps when someone turns it off as soon as they get it.
So the phone is long gone never to be seen again. Moving on...
Now I am looking at getting another one because I loved it so much . But after having an Atrix and knowing that theres the Bell firmware and the At&t firmware and seeing some rather complicated things that need to be done with the Bell phones I am wondering would it be better to buy an At&t phone or a Bell phone?
If you are not going to mod, then get whichever phone fits your carrier. If you are going to mod, then there's not that much of a difference anyway with the work that needs to be done with either device...

They both work on Rogers. And I plan on doing a few mods, I was just thinking that there seemed to be a few things that say "at&t only". Or am I imagining that?
So far I really like this phone a lot. Runs nice and smooth and has a good build quality. I used to be on Sprint and had the Epic until they canceled my account for roaming too much.
Is there an easy way to root the G2? I guess I was a bit spoiled with the Epic as for a while I could just run the one click root and be done with it, but I guess the only way to do it on the G2 is downgrading first?
Also, since Im limited on minutes- 100 per month on the Walmart plan, I was told I could use wifi calling on the phone but needed to delete a file for it not to use my minutes?
Also, does this temp root method still work?

You are in the wrong forum mate.. Does your device look like this:

Forum for your device is probably

Please don't use any roms in this forum.. probably break your device

That's right, wrong forum. Tried to get the mods rename it to avoid this stuff, but didn't happen
They now have the droid incredible 4G LTE forum at the bottom of the page . Go check it out there working on unlocking bootloader already .

Really?? I have been stopping by over there about once a day or every other day and trying to follow when the phone is gonna be in stores and also the thread on Verizon killing grandfathered unlim data.
I didn't realize they could work on the bootlloader stuff if the phone isn't even out yet? Maybe I missed something, my bad if that's the case, but thanks for letting us know the other forum is up and running

My guess would be that he saw the thread with "unlocked bootloader" in the title and assumed people were working on it before actually reading the thread (or maybe I'm missing something?). I agree with you that I don't think they can really work on unlocking the bootloader without actually having the phone.
You can root and unlock the device without actually having it. I was just reading (Android Police) how someone with a leaked copy of the Galaxy S3 software was close to rooting and unlocking it.
edit: Aren't all HTC devices unlockable anyways? HTC has their development website where you can unlock devices and most are included soon after launch.

Interesting.
I still think that the way Alton worded it, it seemed like he was saying that somewhere in the Inc 4G forums people were working on it, which I don't believe is true (at least I can't find it). But your point is valid.
Ok guys, I have decided I want the Galaxy S 4 and ordered it but its on back order from AT&T but I want to know all there is about it before I get it. Coming from a HTC One X and very new to Samsung I need direction to the links of what to do with it. I know its new and little info about it, but I need to learn the GS4 before its in hands. I have read about all I can find but its mostly a hit and miss with the reviews so far.
After I get used to it and see the installed software I want to unlock it, and flash away with the customs like the HTC I have but I don't know where to start.
I need to know what or where to look for the ATT version of the GS4, is it a I9505 or a I9500 or what? From the order at ATT all I get is Samsung 1337, so what is it?
If you want to flash roms I'd wait for now the bootloader on the at&t version is locked. I'd say wait and look up and learn about the device. Then if/when the bootloader is unlocked you will know what you are doing. The i9505 is the international snapdragon and LTE version of the phone. The i9500 is the international no LTE octa core version. The at&t one is snapdragon and has LTE bands for AT&T.

this is exactly right. I am waiting myself for the fine people of XDA to unlock the bootloader
OP, the AT&T model is not 1337 it is SGH-i337. All you can do when you get it is freeze all AT&T software except Contacts - do not freeze Contacts as that will disable your dialer/phone.

Ok, I was just going off the order on the ATT site, all it gave for information was Samsung Galaxy 1337, I didn't know which is which for the model or ?. Is there a specific forum for the the ATT ? When I search my model I keep coming back to this forum. Are they all combined or separate like the HTC forums? I agre with the posts and all I have found so far is rooting the phone and no actual custom roms. I have been messing with the HTC One X and got it down pat , like you say, I need to learn all there is to know but don't know where to look.

There is an AT&T forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2257 here. There are no custom roms for this device because of the bootloader. You cant add a custom kernel/recovery/rom. You can root the device though. I'd look at the guides on this and the AT&T forum.

Ok, been reading all I can find and went for it. Ordered the GS4 on Monday and to be delivered today Wednesday , going to be out of town for 3 days but it should be here when I get back if my wife don't open it up and steal it from me. I hope the devs come up with something for this phone and make it easy to root and I get to learn Samsung like the HTC One X my wife gets now .

Its already rooted, but you wont be running custom roms for a while. As your bootloader is locked. This stops you from installing any.
