Is it htc or vzw who is to blame? I rather suspect vzw.

I suspect vzw also. And i wont buy anything other than htc for build quality alone. You can have those flimsy other phones with easy dev and updates, but htc makes great phones. I was sold when my dinc got submerged in water yet continued to work great for a year.

Well, from the looks of that post... They are saying that they are trying to get more information regarding the progress of the update from the "inside". Which, to me, that implies their development team. I could be wrong, but it's speculation. No word back after that last post I made...
P.S.
I just noticed that the message was cut off from HTC. Here is the full reply they made regarding my comment.
We fully understand that this situation is less than ideal. We are waiting on a status update internally and as soon as we hear more from them we will pass it along here. We're just as eager to learn more as you. We apologize and we can assure you that we're doing as much as we can to get you the answers that everyone here is asking for.

How bout just giving us a good kernal and let the devs on this site take it from there!
What would lead you to believe the flunky who posts on facebook for htc knows anything or.even anyone to ask? He is told what to say and he says it. Asking him a question tells you no more.than asking a vzw store salesman anything. We probably know more about.it.than either of those "company reps "

I love the part about "you work at HTC" so go ask.... How many people work at HTC ? Haha !!! Someone has no clue about big companies.
I know other see it differently but the way I see it... that is a very corporate way of saying "go f*** yourself". I think they're just hoping we will forget so they don't have to push an update. Sadly enough the Photon 4G the first 4G Tegra phone for Sprint got that very sad news recently. I just don't think that HTC will balls up and tell us. /negativity
I'm feeling a Facebook protest page for this lack of service.

I'm starting to believe you're right after Motorola did this to Atrix owners a few days ago. I know it's a stupid dream, but I like to imagine that, in the future, some company will introduce a phone that runs AOSP and has chips with open-source drivers. What a cool gadget that would be.
Someone should start an online petition and make HTC / VZW put the update out !
Make them? LMFAO! Good luck on making either company do anything.
Both are huge companies that are supporting several devices, with prime focus going to development for new tech. Think about it, the TB is an old cell, we were lucky to see the leak. How much money will HTC make by putting ICS on TB? Nothing.
IMO, we got one update and a leak for a 2nd... we should only hope for an update, if it comes.. cool. If not, either wait for a dev or move on.
Sometimes the sense of entitlement from some posters in this forum is mind blowing.
Make them... I'm still laughing about that.

There seems to be a lot of tension here, and people do need to understand that this is an old phone. We were the first to get 4g LTE, and we had to be the guinea pigs for the network so with some awkward hardware and a non-standard RIL. HTC still made an excellent piece of hardware that I carry without a case or even a screen protector, and I will admit, I've dropped it and it has no scratches and no chips in it. I'd buy a new HTC phone on Verizon if it wasn't for Verizon's new policies. Heck, I'd be open to buying a phone off contract so I get out at any time, but I'm not going to do it because I have to, and as a reasonable data consumer who does have unlimited I feel no reason to pay the same(actually, more in my case) for less. I use ~4gb per month on my own, which is certainly acceptable and is in no way excessive, and shared data will raise my bill. As soon as my contract runs out(or I finally get PO'd at verizon and pay the ETF) I'm switching to Sprint and I'll be purchasing the HTC Evo 4G LTE.
I am certain that Verizon wants people to get off unlimited, so they will deny any updates for the Thunderbolt, because the earliest buyers are conveniently eligible for early upgrades now. I know of somebody who went into the store to buy a new battery and they tried to sell him a new phone because his was supposedly still running GB(which is false, he had Liquid ICS installed, LOL) and it is an older version of Android.

That makes sense. As far as the new policies go, they are dropping the unlimited data plan for anyone who upgrades to a phone? I know someone who upgraded about a year ago, as well as switched over his phone to someone elses family plan and retained his unlimited data
Plus you have to pay the phone upgrade charge now!

So Someone localy is gonna sell me there 3 month old G2x thats in good shape for 100 dollars.. I currently Have AT&T. I know it says it doesnt support AT&T`s 3G bands. But I also read somewhere that it is possible. I dont know what the posting date for that was. But Would there be any way as of now? or is it still A no go.
And Would it be worth buying for the 100 to resale it maybe?
Also what would be the process of unlocking it? cause with my galaxy S2 I downloaded an app. Could I call up tmobile asking for it since I dont have a tmobile account? or how much would it cost for me to get it unlocked? (The cheapist site) Thanks
Buy it for $100.
Resell on ebay $220-260 depending on the condition

The first question you should be asking is why is he only selling it for $100? He could easily get double that. Just because the phone is only 3 months old doesn't mean nothing is wrong with it. I buy and sell phones on craigslist quite frequently and I'm always wary of the deal that seems too good to be true. Remember, often times, if it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is....I'd exercise extreme caution.

Some ahole complained and I had to remove the link from my signature. Some jerk-off from the AT&T Nitro HD thread. PM me for my website for unlock code. Thanks for thinking of me.
BTW, $100 for a G2X is a steal, whether you get 3G service or not. If you want to spend more money look for the new Lg Nitro HD for AT&T. 1.5Ghz dual core Qualcomm cpu and larger screen and on AT&T you get 3G and LTE.

I wouldn't jump to that conclusion. I do eCare for a cable/internet/phone provider in Canada and we can be crafty with our words when we need to.
The way I'm interpreting things is that they ship locked devices and can add support later for certain carriers. He did NOT however specify that they WOULD add support for AT&T. If he were able to, he would have tried clarifying that definitively as to satisfy the customer's question and close contact.
Carriers have many confidential agreements and contingencies. I would imagine that support for unlocking AT&T devices would be contingent on the terms that they've agreed upon with HTC. And unless AT&T specifically requests unlocking support, I do not think it would be added. It would be bad for HTC to ship unlocked devices or simply add unlocking support without a carriers explicit consent.
That's the way I see things at least. Although I have a Rogers device I want to hear AT&T comment on this with a definitive response. They need to be accountable and transparent with their plans. We shouldn't need to find the answer from the vendor or another third party.
This is a better response than the other ones.

Here's my interpretation:
If they knew that they were 100% going to unlock it, I believe that they would say so. There is no point to not doing so, especially after feeling all of the pressure about it.
They can/want to unlock it, thus keeping their word. However are waiting for the "OK" from AT&T to do so.
Before I saw this post, I sent them a message asking about the unlock as well. Let's see what sort of response I get :-/

Their goal should be to answer your question and kill any further questions. That wouldn't quell my concerns if I had asked the question. I would have followed up and specifically asked if that means my carrier is DEFINITELY on board with this or if there were other contingencies.
I sincerely hope I'm wrong though. I hate locked bootloaders!

The easiest way to communicate that would be to apologize for not being able to divulge those details as they are part of their confidential terms and conditions with AT&T.
I've sent dozens of thousands of emails and have done the same amount of chats with customers and we are a lot more clear than that. I asked some colleagues (and fellow Android geeks) what they make of it and they said it sounds like a cop out. I hate to admit it, but someone's we get asked tough and direct questions such as "When will your PVR support XXX feature that YYY carrier has activated", and all we can answer is with something ambiguous because we know there's problems or that it's a long ways away, etc.
Maybe I'm thinking too much into things. I just read it completely differently though. I wonder how long it will take AT&T to make a public statement. All the other Android sites are starting to cover the same issue.

Hey guys and gals! I'm itching for the new S4. I just opened a new 2 year contract back in December and I'm growing tired of my boring iPhone 4S.
Which also has warranty until December off this year.
I'm looking for a creative idea to help me pick up this wonderful phone. I thought about taking my mint iPhone into bestbuy for the "buy back" plan that they offer and possible add a line to my current plan but I don't want to lose my current phone number.
Do you guys have any ideas that could help me out?

You could try swappa.com, which is partnered with XDA and a link is conveniently located at the top of this page :good:
Ebay is my "go to" when I want to flip one phone for another. I believe there is also a XDA "marketplace" somewhere on the forum, but I do not have enough posts to try it out or tell you how good it is.

The market place section of XDA was shut down several months ago because of the problems associated with users ripping off other users.
As mentioned above XDA has partnered with Swappa which is a wonderful site started by android enthusiasts for the community.
Swappa is nice to do business on because of the system of fail checks that are in place.
There is also craigslist and eBay. With craigslist I know a lot of people that sell their devices locally for more money than it would bring online, but it really depends on the market in your area.

Xda marketplace is no more, it's swappa, cell trader online or another message board. EBay scams you out of about 15% off your earnings as listing fees, and PayPal will remove 3%

i would def recommend swappa because the buyer pays listing fee and you only have to pay paypal fees. which ebay you have to pay thier 15% fee and paypal fees and shipping too which i forgot to add that to swappa. then cancel your contract and resign up with the gs4
Thanks for the replies. I just left an AT&T store and the guy basically told me he would set me up a new line and strip it down to a 10$ dumb phone plan and throw the s4 on my current line.
He was gonna take my 4s in trade which would have covered my cost for the new phone and since I'm a union member my activation fee would have been waived.
I was smiling till he told me that my brother has to be there because only he can add a line cause its his accounts. I'm authorized for everything but that! Lol

I know using the 4s as a trade is convenient but if you have the case pay the $199 for the S4 and sell the 4s, that phone is still selling for $350ish at a minimum in good shape. Just a shame to see money down the drain that doesn't have to be. I sold my Unlocked 4s about 2 months ago with a few otterboxes for about 450ish

I may go that route actually, and use my sgs2 till I can sell it. I have a small hardware glitch with my current iPhone that I plan on taking in for a warranty exchange. Adding a line sucks because my brother lives roughly 2 hours away so not sure how to work the details out ya know..

Thats the easy part, just have him go get it and ship it to you. Shouldn't be more than $6 priority. If he uses a normal bank im sure you have a branch close to you and you can deposit the cash to his bank account to pay for the phone for you.
Bump for any other creative ideas. =D

My att store was able to call the account holder to add a line. He was not there with me.
Ask AT&T for an early upgrade. I believe it would be $450 for the Galaxy s4, and just sell your iPhone and pay the difference. Your brother could do the upgrade in store and have them ship you the phone for free. I did that for my dad with an iPhone 3GS before.

However, in the spirit of this thread, and moreover, the spirit of recent posts/arguments/members here on XDA, I'm posting my own question for everyone! Please DO take the time to respond. I appreciate your feedback.
~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~
Hi guys! I know this is a forum about phone development, but even though I know that, I'm going to post this anyway!
I really really want a Boeing Business Jet.
Back in December I bought a 1993 Toyota Corolla, Neon Pink, w/ 223,000 miles. It's also missing a wheel. And a door. But I manage. Only cost me $200.
What can I do to trade my Toyota for a Boeing Business Jet? I'm not against prostitution, blackmail, extortion, or murder. Anyone know where to start? I tried posting some "hitman" ads on a few darknets, but they all want to pay me with these silly "Bitcoin" things... and Boeing insists I pay for my new plane in cash, not digital coins.
Any ideas?! Please help. I'm really bored of my Toyota, and I really want a private jet.
And of all the millions of websites on the internet, I feel like this is the single most appropriate place to ask my question. Again, I know I'm sounding pretty whiny and entitled, but this is XDA developers, so I figured that's the normal.
Thanks! And again, I really appreciate any feedback!
~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~
(Oh, and if it weren't against the rules (which some of us actually do follow) right here is where I'd post a random picture of a penis.)
Thanks OP for another quality thread!
Cheers!

I'm extremely glad you feel that way about my post. Don't like it? Hit the back button and troll elsewhere. I felt it may have been fitting to post where I did based solely on the fact that maybe another member may have just been through the same situation and could provide some valuable information.
Thanks for wasting 20 minutes of your life coming up with that uninformative and useless post. Good luck with the jet.
Just got off the line with Verizon, im on a launch day galaxy nexus and called to see if I could upgrade to a n3 and keep unlimited data.
I originally preordered under my month to month feature phone line and saw people able to keep unlimited.
I called and the rep Dawn said she personally owns a n2 and is upgrading, I did not pry, but she said "when they ship out on the 4th"
I asked and she confirmed multiple times that they are shipping on the 4th..
I have the whole call recorded, I just need to edit and upload.
So, I was able to upgrade the main line and confirm I could keep unlimited data.
The extra treat was her telling me multiple times that they are shipping on the 4th and us guys who preordered should get our devices
On the 5th.
Again, I have the proof on the recorded call and I will be posting a link shortly.
I can't vouche for honesty of the rep, she sounded informed and checked with supervisor multiple times...
Let's see how this plays out!

when did ATT charge your card before they shipped?
Omfg this gnex is so slow to edit this call!!!
Which would mean that I wouldn't get it until the 7th since I'm having it shipped to my office
That would still be (3) days earlier, which would still make me happy, but I can't say that it doesn't hurt to see other people on other carriers get theirs sooner even though Verizon announced pre-ordering first. #StupidFirstWorldProblems
Interesting...I wonder if stores will have it on the 4th...

Oh for the love of all that is good! You should have picked a different title for the thread. People who are freaking psycho over a phone are gonna flame the hell out of you if it doesn't ship out on the 4th.
I personally enjoy reading what others are told and the rumors that may or may not be true. We could do a fantasy league for phone ship dates. Oh the passionate discussions.
Seriously, thanks for posting. I'm definitely ready to go get my new GN3. Crazy how my old phone suddenly seems like total crap and the only resolution is a GN3!
Went by my verizon corporate store after a deer tried to jump over my van and crashed into the back of it. Then a red wasp attacked me going down the road, after a panic stop the seat belt hung my shell holster. Didn't see it in the road and ran over it. Had to get another. Anyway they said the 11th for the N3 in store.

Who Ships on a Friday?
I don't hold anyone responsible for "leaked" info that doesn't actually come to fruition, I think we are all hearing different things (because no one really knows), and no one should get bent out of shape over a phone. I will miss my beloved GNEX. ALTHOUGH, WTF VZW? Who ships on a Friday? I really hope they meant arriving on the 4th. Anyway, I checked with the store I preordered mine at here in Seattle. They told me it was supposed to ship this week, in typical VZW fashion, they will be the last carrier to ship. The guys said they would update me with the shipping info when it ships. Waiting impatiently!
K- Heres some of the 45min call,
Who knows.. lol 1 track listen 45sec in. you hear "Dawn" get excited herself and say "oh my god"

I listened to the .mp3 files, and yes, you're right. The rep did confirm the 4th. I hope she actually knows what she's talking about. The fact that the Verizon Galaxy S 4 released a week earlier than the pre-order date is encouraging.

I wondering if I heard right but she confirmed that you can go into Walmart or other retail like Best Buy and still keep your unlimited?
I preordered at Best Buy and again on the Verizon page when the glitch was open. If Best Buy calls me to pick up my phone before Verizon ships it out will I still be able to keep my unlimited if I go the Best Buy route?

I called a few stores last Thursday and there was none in stock. I called to place an order over the phone, and was originally given a ship date of Nov 3 - 8. I never got the electronic signature email from them at the time I purchased on Thursday, to complete the transaction so after calling them back yesterday they resent the email and I signed it. Well that never went through and I had to call them again today. They resent the email, I verified the e signature again, and received a text to confirm it worked this time. I'm still getting informed of a shipping date between 3-8, but when I talked to a rep again this evening he told me it won't ship until at least the 10th and that's been moved up 5 days cause it used to be the 15th. So, I don't know when to expect this phone, but he said since the demise of the note 7, the v20 is in extreme demand, and LG can't keep up with shipping devices.

ordered mine online Saturday and it's out for delivery today. can't wait to get my paws on it
I had to return mine because it was defecrive, i reordered with a supervisor on the phone on november 1 and my order backordered to December 13th up to january 3rd of next year. Even though the supervisor told me that i would have the phone by the end of this month. Now im screwed without a phone. I will have to ask my mother for the lg g3 i gave her once again since im receiving very important emails at hours im not in the house. Tmobile used to have a rating of 5 stars from me. Now it gets a 2 stars.

I have tried every single method but they still say the same stuff... as if they were robots. sometimes i believe im talking with a robot instead of a person . Im telling you, i would never recommend anyone to join the Tmobile family, maybe to grab the phone only since they usually have unlocked bootloader, but that's it! Customer service is the worst. One tells me one thing, the other tells me other thing, another lies to me making me send the phone and making me believe that i would receive a new phone when i was never going to get that replacement, and another one told me it would arrive this month. And it keeps going on and on and on . I have a long list of things they told me and never did.

Worries not! I have my G3 back because my mother is going to be out for a couple of weeks so.... BUT REALLY! LG AN TMOBILE MUST BE STUPID! THEY SHOULD HAVE PREDICTED THIS WOULD HAPPEN AFTER WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE NOTE 7.... Or,.... are they stupid? seems like it. I mean, it doesn take a lot of brain to figure out that when one flagship goes down people are desperate to try a new device that will possibly replace it. I bet they have already lost many customers just because of the backorders. If it werent because i have already tried the LG V20 for a couple of days, i would have cancel my order the minute i found out about the backorder been so far away.

First world problems dude. LG is small in terms of mobile phones. I am pretty sure they expected more demand because the notr7 grenades but damn dude. Think about the logistics of it. Production capacity. Samsung and apple I am quite sure get the red carpet and get to jump queues often. Getting extra production capacity can be problematic sometimes. Not like it can be expedited. And think about what time of year it is. The OEM's with hot phones are probably ramping up capacity for the holiday season. LG probably is too but doesnt have clout to work with. Hell for all we know theyve already doubled output but can't keep up with demand still. Lots more go into complicated devices like these. Many parts to source. Many parts to source that other OEM's use also. Another kink in the supply chain. You're just being a simple minded impatient temper tantrum child. If it bothers you that bad get a phone that is I'm stock everywhere. Some stores get more supply than others because they can't keep them on the shelves. Others don't want to take risk of stock taking up valuable storage space that could be used for other phones. Just sounds like you need to be bent over the knee or taken out to the woodshed and get a reality check. Lots of variables at play here behind anybody in the supply chain from the parts needed for the v20, assembly line, possibly qualified employees to assemble, shipping lanes and stores gambling on stock to stock. Not to mention accounting for defective phones or returns. Take a chill pill or go cry on your pillow. Geez.

Aah i see, making me the bad guy, aren't you? Nice try. if i were one of those normal "simple minded impatient temper tantrum child" that you are talking about, that is. You don't even know 1) for how long have i been dealing with this issue, 2) the troubles it caused me (even my TMobile account had a mess for this), 3) the amount of incompetent and also liars agents that are found in both brands Tmobile and LG, and i had to talk which each one of them, 4)The trick they almost make me fall into if i hadn't been so careful and been so persistent (such as making me pay for a phone i didn't have anymore, and is not only limited to that), 5) 3 important information relevant to this semester on my college that i missed out thanks to T-Mobile (since i sent them the phone and was expecting for the word of the supervisor to become true). Dude, i can keep on and on and on, and can say that im none of the things you said about me because with everything they did to me, my account, even with only the lies they wrote to me and also told me through the phone, i would have already sued them and surely i would have won the case. Since i saved every conversation and i would have only have to ask to T-Mobile to release the recorded conversations i had with them (which are a lot!, but it wasn't because i was impatient, im a very patient person, but because they had their own mess inside the system and had me on the center of that mess making me the fool of the play). If i hadn't called and chat so much i would have had to pay more than what the phone actually cost. So yeah, at this point anyone would have already become so mad that they would have probably broken their TVs i have seen people do more for even fewer things. So, do me a favor and stop assuming because you are nowhere near Sherlock Holmes' level.
(on the other hand, i don't wish that everything that happened to me already, happens to you )

Thank you for letting me know . I will give it a shot later today. :good::good:
Supply and demand, if LG made a crap load of phones in thinking that the note 7 users would get the v20 and then it didn't happen well then they made a lot of phones that might not sell without dropping the price.

I contacted them through FB.... They are even worst in there . now they say that they process and ship the orders in the same order they receive the request. Then HOW THE HECK there are people who bought it even a week later or more than me and they already have their phone with them or on its way, or even the estimated time showing a closer date when mine shows decemeber 13 until january 3?! Really? and then they claimed that it is even more, on their end the website shows to them that it is on december 19, so.... even more far away. It doesnt matter what people think about me after i say the following thing because i have already proven this over and over and over again. TMOBILE IS BUILT UP IN LIES! And only i know what i have been through the past 3 weeks and a half.
Perhaps you're an ass and they keep delaying your order on purpose?
Same thing happened to me. Preordered on Oct 18th and my estimated ship date was 11/25 - 12/16. The store I preordered from actually had then in stock so I cancelled my order and just bought it there. Somehow my $200 trade in credit I submitted was approved.
