@[email protected] it just a phone...
i will just call someone or wait for others to call me...
i wish the battery is great so i can play games with it...

I'm going to do the same thing I do with all of my other phones...use it . As far as making reach its full potential, I'm waiting for a bad ass custom ROM to surface. Once the boards are riddled with new ROMs that really push this hardware, thats when my fun really begins. For now, I'm going to run stock for a couple months to give the development community some time to cook up some awesomeness.

Good luck, on the hox we had trouble getting 2ghz stable, still isn't really. Same CPU ofcourse so I'd assume the same applies here.

Just waiting for a JB AOSP/AOKP or CM10 release in a few weeks hopefully.
I really like JBs new style, and Google Now looks great. If there is a nexus device based on this hardware that would make an almost native porting environment I would be crazy happy!! A guy can dream can't he?
I would have bought a GNex but this hardware is just in another league,

What case are you planning on buying? My sister wants to put on a cell phone charm as well, but the only cases that have a cutout for the lanyard are Samsung cases that we've found so far.

Actually...I liked "Take over the world"

Buying more accessories for it than I need. Cables, cases, batteries, chargers, screen protectors, etc... till I figure out which ones I like best and use most often, then the rest will stay in a box as spares.

I'm probably going to look around for a case. I've been extremely cautious with it so far but I haven't seen one that I like. Any suggestions anyone?

I think it's true... considering that HTC themselves said so...

If it is would it be a big deal? I don't know how HTC phones work really, I've modded a evo once but that's it. I've been a Sammy user for 3 years.

Well... A month the first time. Then they updated the firmware and that took about 5 months to crack... Still can't root the latest update... I'd be willing to bet we'll be waiting a long time. But hey, maybe this device will get popular.

I am hoping I get mine early so I can use HTCDev to unlock it before that gets disabled. I am not optimistic about it though.

It might already be locked out if att is shipping it.

Don't know why people are suprised by this. They locked every htc in recent history and also the Dev version would be completely irrelevant if you could unlock the AT&T version.

I'm surprised because I didn't know that. As a samsung user I don't pay much attention to htc.
Sent from my SGH-I927 using xda premium

Now that the phone has been out for a weekend by AT&T, is there any definitive proof that the AT&T one can still unlock the bootloader via HTC dev post 4/19?
Has anyone attempted it? Or are people receiving retail units with the bootloader locked?

Many thanks to all

I'm finally moving on to the Sony xperia z ultra. It's been an absolute pleasure, first learning from the masters and then passing on my dubious knowledge to the noobies.
It's fantastic how xda works. Advice to any newcomers... Read first then ask questions!

I paid £600 exactly in UK and it came with an hbh20 BT headset. Think there's a few more weeks til it's stateside, heard rumours about 11th October... They didn't officially announce it here at all, just turned up in stock on 11th and luckily I was keeping an eye out. Awesome phone, man, just awesome, hope you get yours soon, be good to have you on their forum.
The 6802 is available I think which is the 3g version.

It will. It supports AT&T and T-Mobile's networks if I'm not mistaken. There's a discussion going on regarding this in the Ultra section (general). I'm on mobile, so links are a *****

Agreed. Not very happy with this at all. Locking us out of our own devices that most of us paid FULL PRICE FOR!!!

Yeah me too... This sucks... I'm seriously thinking about selling mine and buying a international model. Does anyone know which model works good on At&t?

I bought 2 note 3's and and 1 gear. Dropped about a G and I can't use my device the way I would like? Not a happy customer at this point.

I went to an AT&T store a few days ago to get a secure element for free (SIM) and received a text survey the next day. I gave the employee a 10 but said I wouldnt recommend at&t to a friend, and everything else I gave low low reviews. They called me several hours later and I let them know why... I am sure it doesnt mean much... but at least they know I think they suck!
The people on the phone tried to help... but didn't really know how to go about getting someone to talk to me about bootloaders... they even recommended me checking out XDA to unlock it... LOL awesome.
I told them that I am perfectly fine with voiding my warranty... so can I please get this flashed to an international version... no idea how to answer something like that... oh well...

Don't see why you would think it was necessary to open a thread to say the obvious. If you don't want at&t sell it. Buy an international. C-ya bye

Yeah right. I'm sure this thread will be locked. I knew what I was getting when I bought it. I really didn't care as long as I could root.
If flashing and ROMing is that important, get a different phone. The T-Mobile version of the Note 3 is unlocked and will work on AT&T. I prefer AT&T because I get 4G/LTE where I live and in the building where I work.
Very happy with my Note 3 rooted and using Xposed, Wanam, etc. No need for a custom ROM. At least for me anyways.

AT&T has analytics on social media and Web information they collect on what is being said about them. Most large companies do and thought this might get some attention.

Verizon is not going to support unlocking the bootloader on a non developer device. I'm not sure the point of creating a petition.

Honestly, I don't see the point. Verizon doesn't want an unlockable bootloader on their devices. There is nothing that can make that happen. They don't want to have to deal with the support issues. If you want a phone with a unlockable bootloader, don't buy a Verizon phone. It is not that complicated. A petition has no bearing on Verizon's decision. There isn't enough customers who really want to unlock their phone's bootloader to install a custom rom.

So good luck to all 17 of you!

I find it amazing you can reply to this thread twice, with no intentions of helping out your fellow xda'er. Why did you even bother replying? It does not take much time to sign the petition. Less then it took you to reply twice, that's for sure.

There's really nothing amazing about two posts. The time wasted here can be matched evenly with, say, signing this junk.
Here's to being blissful time spenders!
