You have to opt in but you'd go on the Verizon wireless website, the privacy clause....ask you what you want to do, I've opt out so long can't remember now.

Says they want you to do this for third party marketing and yet the next sentence says Verizon will not give out your information outside of Verizon?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

I find it rather disgusting that verizon offers you a coupon for your personal information. Google just invited our family into a similar thing but they mailed 5 real dollars. And you get a $100 gift card per month if you let them install a router in your house to track data usage.
So how does that wonderful coupon look now? And to think your info is worth hundreds if not thousands of dollars to them.

Hello and welcome to the data mining that is as old as the internet. Nothing new here other than giving you the choice to opt out.
I hope that none of the people here on their soap boxes, complaining about this ever use Facebook... they do this ALL the time and rarely let you know... let alone opt out.

If they traded whoring out your info for a discount off your bill or a upgrade in half the time that would be better than a ****ing coupon. Pricks.
Better and funnier than your tapatalk signature

I'm just shocked that people pretend to be shocked over this.

Why is it physically impossible to ask for ETAs without getting a barrage of insults

Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app
Because the devs are doing this for free in there spare time. Your not paying them for this, they do it cuz they want to. If they dont put out ROMs or updates fast enough for you than go build a ROM yourself.

I tell my why because
1 I don't like it I'm not a super computer that makes rom automatic
2 its kinda insulting asking only me why you don't ask Bryan or Thomas and see their reaction
And 3 and is bad bad bad (yes that bad) because maybe I have patience sometimes but when you ask to other devs probably get you blocked so they will never see your msg or post

They get donations! (Not enough to make a living or anything but still) Not everyone that asks for an eta is an impatient douche sometimes its a curiosity thing. Its a compliment even! " I like your work so much I can't wait to see what else you have in store for the community"

They really don't get much in donations. Most of the users on these forums are under 18 and can't donate.

Imagine that you're working on a project that you don't even have to, you just do it for fun and for other peoples enjoyment. Nobody needs you to do it, and they can all live just fine without it.
Now imagine every other day there are people nagging you on how they want x and y to be done, and how slow you are. Wouldn't you be pissed?
That's how the developers of this device feel when JB threads come up. Have some respect, please.

@OP: u can't ask for an eta as it is quite bad u know, instead, just help us out or ask/request sth else in a good manner cause once the devs not releasing a build mean either he/she is damn f*cking busy or the new build is not good enough ^^…or u can find sth more interesting in ur own life and do it and wait hehe

See if they're doing it for us they should at least do it right and listen to the requests! It's not practical to satisfy everyone's demands but suggestions should be encouraged. And its not like the devs are obligated to listen to anyone

Test Version Of GSIII?

Hey everyone, I recently traded my Galaxy Nexus for the GS3 and normally, I get right down to the rooting/unlocking/flashing process, however one thing has been holding me back. The gentleman that I traded my device with worked directly for Samsung and said that the GSIII that he was giving to me, was in fact a development testing device only given out to employees. I was wondering if there is a way to verify this as I know that this could be a potential gateway to future discoveries if this is in fact the case. If any of you have thoughts on this then please share. I've been itching to scratch this flashing bug of mine -_-

This is what a test phone from HTC looks like.
If this person's claims are true, you should go to the IRC and chat with the devs there.
They could possibly find useful information before you get to using your device as normal- again, assuming this is true.
Yeah I think I'll do that. Will keep you guys posted if anything interesting comes from this

How do you become a phone tester? I've always wondered because that would be sick (I'm assuming that's how you got them).

Bestest Place to buy Devices?

I have seen people mention a site called swappa. Is this the best one. I have been looking for a tablet and don't trust huge sites like eBay. Is swappa a good choice? Asking fellow users.

I have used them to buy. They get my vote.

Read into them. Honestly it'd be my first choice if I'm buying outright. Read all their tos and whatnot. As far as I know only clean esn's are on there. I have read into it and it definitely is a lot better of an option than eBay in my opinion

Here on the US west coast, Craigslist is king for used phones.
For safe transactions and reduced prices, you can check out the "outlet" from the company. A lot of companies sell the slightly used tablets and refurbs on their outlet's website.

actually what i always do is, shop around on the site and see whats available. then i call them prior to me checking out to confirm everything and they usually give anywhere from a 10-15% discount.
KEEP IN MIND:
i have a business account
i have 4 lines under my name. All 4 are smart phones
and i get 21% discount on all accessories because of the company i work for.

As far as I know, if you're in an area with no portals, it will create a portal around you for you to farm off of. But it's designed for higher traffic areas, for sure.
