I think Google owns Motorola Mobility.

Just because they own them, doesn't mean anything will change. MM has a large business following in no small part due to their security measures. They aren't going to start unlocking phones and leaving them more vulnerable to threats, it's just bad business.

MikeH · 02-22-2012, 09:30 PM

also doesnt mean that google wont start making the nexus in house now.

chevyrado14 · 02-22-2012, 09:31 PM

they should give the option to those who want to do it tho. not everyone knows how to run adb commands for the unlock procedure anyway

A lot of VZW software is still up to VZW's decision. That means the SBF, updates, etc.

They have, in some part with the unlocked Razr. Most of those decisions fall into the hands of the carriers, as Cam said.

MikeH · 02-22-2012, 09:42 PM

Why are all Motos locked, on every carrier then? With the exception of the dev RAZR with no warranty and bullshit.

fgt brett has razr phone and i can barely hear him...common problem?

Cez★ · 02-22-2012, 09:50 PM

no. just his homo voice barely getting through your fgt hating dX

Why are all Motorola's locked...

Who knows really. To a certain extent it comes down to them understanding that the developer community is going to hack their way to root/rom/overclock in someway. Motorola does it probably in someway from a business standpoint. Motorola knows (like most computer companies) that if you overclock, the chance of increasing heat and potential for severe damage occurs. From a business perspective possibly to protect themselves.

Again, back to the developer community, they are going to try their hardest to find someway to root/rom/overclock.

For me, I root to remove the useless VZW bloat that I dont use. I am a stickler on battery life, and those useless programs eat my battery life. After I root, I install a rom that has better code and battery life. I tried overclocking/underclocking on my OG D1 with horrible luck. Thus, I left that shit alone on the DX.

SarkOzy · 02-22-2012, 10:04 PM

Liability is probably the chief concern. That's why our products are tamper-proof for the most part. Secondly would be security, and so on.

Mike, have you had any issues with lockscreen wallpaper on AOKP?

MikeH · 02-22-2012, 10:18 PM

lock walls work fine for me.

Nope everyone says my call quality has gotten way better. I know hearing wise I can't believe the call clarity and quality on my razr.

too mash clicks

chevyrado14 · 02-23-2012, 01:03 PM

I used an all in one toolkit from xda to root my wife's razr all I had to do was install the drivers plug it in and hit number 2 and it rooted lol. Then hit another button to install safe strap.
