This is where my understanding of LTE is a little thin. Since Verizon is a CDMA carrier, doesnt that mean that the phone (assuming a GSM sim is installed) would only work for data and not voice ?

I am looking at going to the Note 4 instead of the iPhone 6. This is my first time that I have looked at a phone specs at such a detail level. In looking at the spec's on Samsung's site, I dont see LTE specifically called out. I want to buy an unlocked one, so I dont know if buying one from...

This will be my first time buying an unlocked phone. Other than going to the carrier and spending a long time at the local store explaining why I want to buy an unlocked phone, would appreciate some suggestions on where best to buy an unlocked phone. Thanks, Ron

I appreciate the information. Was trying to be on the safe side as much as I can be. I am working on a book where I will talking about how the Note 4 is a good option to consider for a particular situation. Samsung PR hasnt responded to multiple inquiries, so I will have to proceed on my own...

Looking for a developer edition so I dont have warranty problems with unlocking the Bootloader. Ron

Thanks for the tip. Trying to find when I can get my hands on a Galaxy Note 4 Developer Edition next.

If I have to fully unroot, then I first have to unroot. I take it there is a program for that ? That way I unrooted, there wasnt a fallback option given. Once I have have unrooted, the I have to relock the bootloader ? Where do I get a copy of the original rom ? Where do I find the...

I have a moto G that I rooted a few days ago. This was my first time at rooting. Just got an a notice on the phone tonight that 4.4.4 is available to apply. I read something when I was researching rooting my phone that I shouldnt apply updates. I unlocked the bootloader and then rooted the...

I am looking at getting my next android phone. My learner phone is a Moto G. Taught myself how to root the phone. Would like to hear the pro's and con's of getting a developer vs a regular edition of an Android phone ? Thanks Ron

The contract on my current iPhone doesnt come up until December. The trade in values quoted by Gazelle are close to what I paid for it if I send it in by the first week of October. Assuming I can get the current carrier to unlock the phone, I am wondering if I moved the SIM card in the current...
