Please report back. I want the nexus prime. I'll pay the difference!dstu03 said:Looks like a good way to get a free upgrade. Might print this and go make a scene ay the Verizon store.,
Pretty sure legally they be screwed of they didn't let u exchange it. Even though its HTC that did this Verizon signed off on it and allowed it on their network. I will be calling myself and have them add another note to my account as I just had them add it about the broken VM issue. HTC don't change their tone I'm def never buying another device from them. Prime it is!"tekhna said:The Verizon guy I was talking to was pretty freaked out by this, got it noted on my account. Wasn't sure about replacing, but we'll see. Seems possible if this is a real security risk.
No it doesn't. Its an HTC thing, not a Google thing."fixxxer2012 said:does this effect aosp roms? if soo i will be going to verizon tomorrow and getting a bionic or droid charge.
ill still use it as an excuse to get another phone. htc should be ashamed of themselves.jdkoreclipse said:No it doesn't. Its an HTC thing, not a Google thing.
You will be allowed to get the charge but not the bionic. Tried a couple days ago and was told absolutely no on the bionic."fixxxer2012 said:ill still use it as an excuse to get another phone. htc should be ashamed of themselves.
Would they let me get a charge, and then buy out of my contract to buy a prime when it comes out?"miketoasty said:You will be allowed to get the charge but not the bionic. Tried a couple days ago and was told absolutely no on the bionic.
I am running TheRoM V4 (aosp) and it is not affected. I suspect, but an not 100% sure that only Sense ROMs are affected.fixxxer2012 said:does this effect aosp roms? if soo i will be going to verizon tomorrow and getting a bionic or droid charge.
Ya, it's only sense. Aosp wouldn't have any of htc's proprietary bloat in it, now would it?"cam30era said:I am running TheRoM V4 (aosp) and it is not affected. I suspect, but an not 100% sure that only Sense ROMs are affected.
ill get the charge then.miketoasty said:You will be allowed to get the charge but not the bionic. Tried a couple days ago and was told absolutely no on the bionic.
