As faith in Samsung's products are waning do to multiple products having safety issues and new and old are losing perceptive value it may be time to put the social media pressure on them to unlock the Bootloader.

Let's make this device we don't want anyone using more enticing by unlocking the bootloader. Won't happen.
Ya, u might have more luck asking for the next device to have unlocked bootloader as they have written this one off. Still a long shot but better than doing nothing.

THIS is what everyone should be doing. Petition for the bootloaders BEFORE the phone is released.
The only message you will ever get from Samsung on this device is power down and return.
Samsung should make it so we have no desire to root our phones or need custom roms. By this point they need to work on the audio. There should be no reason why an app like viper cant be made. Instead they give us constantly crappy audio and laggy phones.

Thing is there will always be a reason to root and a lot of those reasons aren't a function of how samsung does business but rather a function of how android is designed, one example being adblocking. Even with those ones that route through a VPN that don't require root, they pale in comparison to Ad away.

Not going to happen. Phone is officially a write off so your chances of them pushing update to disable phone more likely than lobbying against unlocking broader on a recalled device. Furthermore to have one unlocked will hurt their bottom line, they only listen to the green backs. They always complain for security reasons for what they do but funny part is that custom roms (CM etc) don't have those security (stagefright) issues cause they are identified and patched before the masses sees it. They just want more from everyone and will always label us as pirates and hackers to keep the sheeple in line.

I'm definitely looking forward to root and ROMs being ported to the G2. I have been using custom ROMs like Cyanogen's mod for quite some time now on my G1, and now that I am without; it has become blatantly obvious that it's the little things that transform quality products into luxury products. Thanks to everyone's work, we are watching the definition of luxury in the making. With every new technology that comes out, and every new line of code the developers and awesome community coders write we are watching the evolution of our devices progress. Can't wait to see how this great phone will fly once I get it away from stock. I'm already interested in the new things that are slowly being discovered about it. As some sit and complain that they aren't getting what they paid for, others are going on an adventure finding out whatever they can from a new product. Its like a giant puzzle that people all over the world are working together to figure out. How interesting it would be if they actually took advantage of situations like this and all the energy that follows them to create fully immersive viral advertising campaigns. I mean everyone who is following the developments of the G2 are putting so much emotion into it all. Whether it's positive or negative we are watching the community come together as a whole, and it's pretty amazing. Whether or not there really are lasting issues with the memory or other parts of the phone, I am enjoying the dynamic of our teamwork to figure it all out.
I'm right there with you bro. This phone will have crazy developer support, I can't wait to see what happens. Things can only get better especially with support from cyanogen.

I kind of agree. I'm more annoyed that rooting is the only way to get screenshot/wifi tether privileges..
If those two things were incorporated already (booooo Google & T-Mobile) I probably wouldn't root. I find android pleasantly customizable even without the theming options.
you can capture screen shots without root
i followed the instructions at this link (for the Droid) and works great
you'll need to download the SDK developers kit and the Java developers kit but they're both linked in the instructions and your phone will have to be connected to your PC, but once you've done the download, you'll end up with a shortcut icon on your desktop taking you straight to the screen capture function screen

Obviously I meant without using a computer and having to use the SDK. That's a lot more hassle than it should be.
once we have tablets with USB we should be able to put sdk on them(hopefully) and play with our toys using our other toys

WEll I was blaming Google for the Screen Shot limitation... but yeah.
Well, looks like we will not be left in the dusk when new waterproof phones release in the market later this year. Send your Samsung Galaxy Note to Liquipel to get your phone water-proofed NOW! This is not a marketing gimmick. Using nanotechnology it is very similar to HzO. However, this process can be applied on existing phones that do not feature HzO technology! Amazing huh?
http://www.liquipel.com/
It's the "how to be without your device for x days" that I wouldn't want.
If it came that way, it's one thing, but this device is is my work device.
Yeah, I could go use my old Dell Streak for X days, but it would tick me
off having to use it LOL.
The first thing it asks you is the model of your phone and the Galaxy Note or Galaxy anthing is not a choice.
I am sure this does not mean they cannot do it but I do not think they have tested our phone to make sure it does work. Until it is on their list, I do not believe they will accept our phone.
I would call but I would not do it since I have never let any of my phone even get close to water...and I have insurance on them if they did .
I did however, ask my daughter to consider it for her iphone 4s since who know what she is doing with it...
Im wondering if this will interfere with the head dissipation of the chips if it is done at a manufacturing level.
I would love to have this on my devices!
1. pay them $
2. send them my phone
3. waterproof magic??!

Technology Recently Introduced by Liquipel!
Well, Liquipel is a new company. It recently started, so gradually over the next few weeks - months, they will add most of the popular devices to their lists, including S2 and Note. This technology seems promising.
Check out their YouTube Channel,
http://www.youtube.com/user/liquipel?feature=watch
I emailed Liquipel about doing the Note and got this reply. Note is not one of their approved/tested devices yet but they will treat it. Cost $59. I may do it when I get my ATT Note
"Hello,
Thanks for your inquiry! That device is not currently on our approved device list but we are constantly doing research and development to expand the available devices. Liquipel is applicable to all types of electronic devices but with a varying degree of performance. For devices not on the approved device list we are still able to make them splash proof and spill resistant. We will file your request and notify you when the device is available if you are not interested in having it treated before it is added to the approved device list. If you desire to have our coating applied to your device before we have tested and approved said device to meet our high standards, we can do so. Simply select an approved device from the list & complete the checkout and mail in process through our website (Liquipel.com) as usual. Please include a note stating you are aware that your device is not the device you had selected, and that you would like to move forward with the treatment of the unapproved device. At this time cellular devices as well as iPods are just 59.00. IPads are 69.00. Thank you greatly for your inquiry.
--
Thanks,
Liquipel Team"
Um...
Would you all still apply Liquipel even though the Note is currently NOT mentioned as one of their approved devices?
As in Liquipel advertisment, only see Iphone#$% (lack stamina) need waterproof, my Note needn't

Yes I would do it. My friend did his Canon 5DmkII dslr and he's happy. Only problem for me would be time without my new Note. I wonder why they don't test more phones.
That's because they just started the process, though they have been out there since late '11,
I saw this the other day...looks interesting. My only worry would be from watching the iPhone on the vid,how do they waterproof the headphone port. idk neat invention none the less

Sony mobile has been hacked ... with the following statements :

Maybe, just maybe it’s the fact that not even your customers can trust you. Or maybe, just maybe the fact that you cannot do anything correct technologically.”
does Sony deserve that ?

It seems to me that they brought it on themselves. Afterall, they threw the first punch when they started suing anyone who found an exploit in their software. Lesson to learn here? don't start fights with people bigger and in this case, smarter than you.

Understand something, they do not share customer data. Never have and NEVER will. If you truly do think they do then you don't understand hacktivism and how it actually works. They are not after the customers, they are after ANY big company that feels they are untouchable.

Why do Samsung continue to bundle this app? I've never heard of anyone using it, and I know lots of people with Samsung handsets, the servers and everything must be a drain on samsung's funds, why do they bloat out our phones with this?

I agree that it's pretty useless and hardly anyone uses it. In fact, I don't know of one person who does, but it's pretty obvious that Samsung is developing its own ecosystem, perhaps as a backup or fail safe for the day if/when they part ways with Google's own ecosystem. They have counterparts for nearly every Google service, although right now, most of them suck.

ChatONs biggest advantage is probably that it isn't WhatsApp. :'D
I do use it as in Qatar many people use it.
I mainly use the LivePartner feature inside it though to keep myself updated.
I suppose Vanilla phone users kinda use it.
I signed on it for the hell of it, and found 3 people I knew that use it on their S3 or S4.
I promptly trashed the app once I rooted, though.

Sent from my obsolete Teletubby. I want a new model with no external antenna and a touch screen in 16:9.
i use whatsapp as main chat app (bought 5 years subscription recently) but there is one thing that whatsapp doesn't support and it is gifs. so whenever i want to send a reaction gif to my bff i have to tell her to open chatOn on her s4 lol, besides gif support and full image quality (it doesn't try to make the files smaller, so images always reach their destination as you sent them, unlike whatsapp) chatOn has nothing good to offer and i use it only like 2-3 times a month
tho that still means it's at least a bit useful
haven't tried hangouts, don't know how image quality/gifs work (if they work at all)

works every time.
remember the first time you do this you have to stay on the wifi screen for at least 1 hour for it to work.
once you have bypassed this once you never have to wait on subsequent reboots and all your settings and history are saved.

Correct but I believe there is a 3 day wait until you can log back in.
However, a lot of the time people buy second hand phones and the seller has not signed out, making this the only remaining option.
This literally makes it pointless to have this security as it can be bypassed anyway, this is why I don't bother having it on in the first place.
