Doesn't that make you lose your warranty though?Root your phone and install a custom rom.
You cannot count on any updates coming from a carrier. The carrier mentality is basically "you get what we give you" and I can't stand that. It's your phone, you give your hard earned money to your carrier each month not to mention the purchase of the phone. Root your phone and install a custom rom. It has become such an easy process. There was a time when running a custom rom was risky due to not knowing if some aspects of the phone would work properly but at this point almost any custom rom beats what the carrier gives you. If you aren't willing to root or flash a custom rom then who knows when the updates will come.
YES, rooting voids the warranty.
I have seen several people have successfully warranty claims with unlocked bootloaders and rooted phones. Even HTC phones.
It states on htcdev.com this
"It is our responsibility to caution you that not all claims resulting or caused by or from the unlocking of the bootloader may be covered under warranty. "
So yes If you brick your phone as a result of unlocking the bootloader they won't cover it. But they generally will cover non related issues.
And someone said custom ROMs are not stable. Not true. I know of several custom ROM/kernel configurations that work flawlessly. I ran android revolution for almost two months before switching to the Monaco switch beta. I also used custom kernels. Not one issue.
I've also used cyanogenmod for about a year on my tablets. No issues.

Nexus 7 - Cyanogenmod
Tab 2 7 - Cyanogenmod
Really. Even multi billion dollar companies with all the resources at their disposal can't make a "flawless" configuration but your ROMs miraculously were? No. No they aren't. My original statement still stands - official releases are more reliable.
ROMs were a solution in 2.3 and previous. Android has evolved to the point where installing ROMs should be a hobby not a solution.
Lol I love those "prove it" posts. Some people think forums are a courtroom trial. Should I hire an attorney and subpoena non existent studies too?
