Cdma loses developer device status?

Anyone the least bit upset about the cdma xoom losing developer supported device status?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Huh?
Theres a whole slew of developers supporting this device, who'd you rub the wrong way? Are you talking about Moto discontinuing the device or ???
Do some more reading. Unless you are building AOSP for a non-rooted device, none of that CDMA garbage applies. Nothing to see here. Move on.

Can the thread to be split?

There are too many differences between the "regular" Galaxy Tab 7" and Verizon Galaxy tab 7".
One can easily brick their tab by flashing the incorrect ROM.
Almost happened to me, fortunately, it was fool-proof and aborted.
Mods, I do believe it needs to be divided.

Agreed. The Verizon tab is different in that vzw likes to lock bootloaders. This is the exact reason why I only have my phone with them

Or look for the prefixes, SCH-I705 is for the verizon tab, the GT-P31xx is the "Normal" Tab 2

The Q&A forum has a few threads(including one I started) asking to split this forum as well. As does discussion. It'd be easier as a dev and as a user to stick within a split forum. Even within each developer thread, there's lots of people asking about it working for other devices.
I know that, but on xda it gaves more subforums that have two or three different devices (look on the arc forum there are arc, arc s and the xperia pro in it) i think there is no chance for an own subforum for the verizon tab, too small dev background, but i wish the OP luck, that a verizon tab Forum is possible.

Retail vs Dev Edition: Bootloader Discussion

Qualcomm vs Exynos... We have all seen exynos is easier to unlock (note 2)...
But will the VZW GN3 get unlocked?...
Will you wait for the Developer Edition?
Please share your thoughts below.

How does one go about acquiring a developer edition?
Look at the Verizon SGS4, I would say no.

They have been dropping dev editions for the latest devices and I'm sure they will announce the dev edition note 3 a few weeks after the initial release. Check the forums and android news websites in the coming months

I would very much like someone with more knowledge than most of us combined to chime in on this topic.
Why is it an impossibility to somehow use the dev edition to assist in the unlocking of the retail edition?
The answer must be simple Or it would have been done long ago with the S4

We don't have any idea if there will be a Dev edition.

Exactly.
My personal guess would be there is no dev edition released, but I am only guessing like everyone else here.....
Im guessing there will be a dev edition ther is for the s4 why not the note 3. What has me curious is a read a thread about chip bending or binary bending which changes a chip into dev mode basically. Im only read the thread and have ben wondering this since. Plausable? What is the physical difference between dev and regular note 3

I'd be pretty confident that there will be a developer edition. My question is: will there be anything developed for it, since the main phone will most likely remain locked or, at best, be only partially unlocked? I think it's gonna be developer phones or bust for these Verizon Samsungs from now on. We should start dedicated developer phone threads.

Here's hoping they release one. I want a Note 3, but I'm at the point where I simply won't buy a phone with a locked bootloader.
Any confirmed benefits of the retail VZW GN3 vs. the Dev Edition for VZW?
Phandroid reports the developer edition website is up and says "coming soon".

Well, here's the page. Doesn't really confirm anything, but it gives us something to drool over...

It also says 32gb! This seems to be the norm for Verizon developer galaxy phones.

Only AT&T and Verizon have locked bootloader. So there's already a number of rom option. I couldn't wait and already have a n3 so I hope to hear a release schedule before I have to return this bad boy.

Samsung Galaxy S6

I tried using Browse to locate a section devoted to this phone, but didn't find one. Am I overlooking something? Tx

They're isn't one yet cause it hasn't came out yet. Have to wait for it most likely next year.
Didn't realize that XDA only covered released phones. Strong rumor release date is 03/15.

This is a development forum. How can you develop for something that doesn't exist yet?
Been on XDA for a few years now. Much more than development discussed. But that's okay, neither here nor there.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S4 (SGH-I337) using Tapatalk Pro
Rest assured there will be one when it comes out and development will be in progress. There will be few or many sections under this phone you'll see...
Some get a forum before they are released. Mainly if they are known to have a strong development forcast with alot of developers interested. I hate to say but Samsung devices are not as popular with developers as they used to be.
Give it some time. A board for flagship devices usually shows up a month or two before the release, once the specs and photo's start leaking.
There are a lot more people on this forum than just ROM developers. Many are here for tweaking, theming and troubleshooting, as well as just because they are interested in their devices.
For now there are threads on the S6 in the S5 board.

This, and the fact that it hasn't really helped in the past.
The real customer to Samsung is Verizon. Not us. We are just Verizon's users of which wealth is to be extracted from.

First rule of purchasing a phone: buy it for the features it has, not the ones it might someday get. Otherwise you will be disappointed.
You knew the bootloader was locked down tight when you bought the phone. There is no chance in hell it is going to get unlocked. Deal with it. If an unlocked bootloader is that important to you you should have bought a Nexus.

If only it had all the same feature. I like the nexus but do like samsung more for the little built in features.
