Hello, my Oneplus friends.
I'm an owner of the LG V10 and an Axon 7 Enhanced (6gb RAM model) and yet I'm still lurking around your boards, appreciating the blazing fast software and hardware features you have and the price it's all available at! Congratulations!
Forgive my noobness, my first time on a Oneplus board, but my question for you guys is... Where can we actually give feedback to Oneplus for including micro SD card support for the Oneplus 5, and will they even listen? ?
No, this is not a thread to seek advice on whether or not an SD card is needed on the phone and how the performance improves without it. Heck, even Samsung backtracked on this stance ?... What are your thoughts of micro SD support available on the Oneplus 5?
Thanks for all your responses!
I would argue more for on board 256gb and making more devices available to actually buy without the far too long waiting for stock.
I love SD cards, but the 128gb on board is very fast, and it's encrypted.
But you can try the one plus community forum
Yep. Open a new subjet on the forum of oneplus. I think it is the best to do. or there is probably somewhere to give feedback on oneplus's website

Thanks bud... No question Flash onboard storage is a good move on performance use cases, however, for someone like me that changes their phone every 6 months and likes continuity with my media and backups, it's not ideal. Cloud storage and even Google Photos are not quite there yet to moves thousands of files or extremely large files.

Thank you, yes did just that... Although I'm sure it's already too late for that feedback, but hey, worth asking . Only reason why I don't own a Oneplus phone ?.
P. S. What do you guys speculate in the 1+ community, chance of SD card coming?

I have a oneplus 3t (I juste get it this week) It work very well. I wanted the version with 128go, but it is still out of stock So I finished by buying the 64Go..But Like you i want a lot of space. I want a space for a sd card And I hope there is one in the next.
The best thing to do is, like other phone, put a sd card on the second sim card. so iwe have the choice of 2 sims card at the same time or 1 sd and 1 sim
honestly, I don't think a lot of people need 2 sims card...

:laugh:32G is enough for me:laugh::laugh::laugh:
While i do believe an SD card is nice especially for flashaholics they really aren't needed anymore. I myself don't understand the need for an amazing camera on a cell phone. But really if you need more than 64gb or even 32gb on a smartphone just buy a PC. But on the serious note.... What happened to the OnePlus 4?

It's like you said, bud... It's not an issue of having enough storage on the phone for your use, it's more of a case for portability of large data from device to device and asking for continuity with it. As you said... Flashoholics or Phonoholics, changing their device every 6 months ?.
Better question is, why not do it? Every major OEM does it now, Samsung went back to it. They even have a dual SIM slot to use for this ?.
Oneplus 4 is rumored to be named Oneplus 5, because 4 is considered bad luck in China. Oneplus's parent company have done this in the past for their other phones and brands... That's my understanding.

Can't agree more. Just got my 1+ 3T today - my old Xperia ZU reached the end of its life and won't turn on anymore. If I didn't have proper backup in my SD card, there will be lots of data loss (yes some of important things are in cloud, but there are also stuff that are too big to store in my limited cloud). I'm not even a flashaholics/phoneholics, and really benefit from it. I can only hope if in several years my 3T I'm getting a new phone, my 3T can still be turned on/at least the recovery is accessible. Else, all is lost.

having an SD is important for me. I don't have an Ipod or MP3 reader. So I put all my music on my phone. So SD card is welcome space for me (like right now I have 32Go of music and I can put more if i had more space, and yes a listen to all my music )
And like the ProFragger said. Oneplus 4 will not exist but oneplus5 yes. 4 is not only bad luck. In there language it is the same pronunciation as the word Death or something like that.
They don't want misunderstanding as a death phone or something like that. Plus it is a badluck to put something like that on the name of a product.
The storage on the OnePlus 3T is blazing fast and massively faster than any SD card which is also one of the reasons this phone is so snappy, putting files on a SD card would end up slowing some things down (e.g. loading photos, music library and the such). I admit I was a big advocate of SD cards back when we had phones with 16GB or even 32GB of storage, but in all honesty nowadays with 128GB of storage I don't really miss the SD card slot anymore (and I have just filled 45GB, still plenty of space). As for backups, I just plug my USB-OTG cable and there you go.

I'm wondering if the SanDisk Ultra SDXC 64GB would work in the HTC magic?
If it works, what file system is to be used? exFat doesn't work right? So Will I have to, like use partition magic to force a 64gb fat32 partition?
I have no experience with android 2.1 or any version for that matter, still awaiting delivery of my first android phone. The HTC Magic (unbranded, naturally)

Well it sounds like someone here has money to burn.
In theory it should work... however I haven't heard of anyone using one before so I cannot say for certain. Give it a try and let us know either way.
Do Not bother getting it. A friend of mine working for FCC center. I snagged one to try out. Man it does not work with any format. Seems like this is hardware of the phone that can not handle it. Friend got technician to look at it, they are all confused why not.
All newer phone from Nexus One, will all takes in the card and read and writes it. But just slow.
Plus $350 is a rip off. The MSRP price for a 64GB SDXC is on $210 to authorized premier resellers.

Thanks, of what I understand from your message.
$210 for MSRP? I told him it cost $110. He must be day dreaming aging while I was lecturing him. Anyway it is best to wait for compatibility check from phone manufacturing for best hardware compatibility.

A few of the phone specs I've seen has said up to 32gb but from my experience they're pretty unreliable at updating those figures as newer and bigger cards get released, that's why I started this thread asking for confirmation.
I'm going to sell off my HTC MAGIC vodafone branded and buy , either samsung galaxy 9000 or the new HTC Desire HD (european EVO4G). I just can't decide yet.
Not all new phones are ready for sdxc memory cards. They are both hardware and software prerequisite.
I would do some research on what phone u want to get. But at same time galaxy s sux, sdxc. Do not work with the card.
Warning spoiler : galaxy s pro will be compatible with sdxc. The phone will only be exclusive in Korea.

What he said. You can't just pop an SDXC card on an SDHC-compatible device. It's like saying you're wearing size 14 shoes because your size 11 foot fits inside those shoes.
It wont work because (AFAIK) Android doesnt contain drivers for SDXC. If you insert a SDXC card into your Android device, it will problably just treat it as a SDHC card.

That's a regular SD c ard, not a micro format, there are no known 64gb micro SDXC cards in existence. Also a 32gb, regular SDHC card is still 65$ US - and that's class 4, I can't begin to imagine how much a 64gb SDXC is going to cost.
Also how reliable will it be, there's limits to this stuff when managing the size of flash chips.
Now it exist
http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/26/kingmax-flaunts-worlds-first-64gb-microsd-card/
I'm pretty sure it will work - mine works in my SGSI, SGSII, Sensation, and Transformer.
http://www.androidnz.net/2011/09/sandisk-64gb-micro-sdxc-cards-confirmed.html
Now that the cards are proven to exist
And ignoring the question of cost, which is not a technical concern
There are a few objective questions that might merit answers, such as:
1-Are the micro-SDHC and micro-SDXC physical formats, the card sizes and contacts, the same or not? Web posts say that they are and are not, apparently half of those posts are in error and it seems that if the sdxc cards are working in sdhc phones--they are?
2-Is a specific file system driver, in the phone's OS distribution, needed? If so, what?
3-Is a specific file system format of the sdxc card itself required? If so, what? (Presumably requiring a format on a computer that provides for that option if the phone doesn't.)
And then of course, a list of phones actually known and confirmed to work with the precious beasts.
Personally, yes, I think 64GB on the removeable card is ridiculous. But then again, it will cost less than an iPod Classic and it will let me take an extensive music collection "everywhere". Which my own 32GB card won't right now.
There's a reason the iPhone4S has a 64GB memory option now. For some of us, the extra memory will be gladly put to good and economical use. If our phones support it.
At present no phone fully supports microsdxc, even if it reads the card, you wont get the full size or speed from a phone, even the fastest phone on the market cannot take full advantage of the speed of present card, and most phones accepts microsdhc at class 2-10, but you only get low transfer rate, I have the new 16GB uhs1 microsdhc from both toshiba (class 10) and sandisk (class 6), both have verys low speed just like that of class 2-4 when used in mobile phones, so uhs 1 microsdhc is out of the question in mobile phone.
I also seen available the sandisk 64GB microsdxc available in hong kong, not really expensive when compared to the USA, it's approximate USD150, will get one next month to try out.
That's way better than the US prices. Please DO let us know how it works out.
Personally, I don't care about not having full xc speed, etc., I'd be happy just to double the storage capacity. Sandisk US has no interest in the matter, all they know is that Moto "only supports" 32GB. Which they really don't understand means only that no one has tested 64GB sdxc in the phone, so no one has anything to say about it.

hi kms108, I see you own an Xperia Ray. Did you try the 64gb sd in the Ray? Can you share with us if it works or not? While Googling I only find people speculating that since it works on the Play, it should work on the Ray too, but I hope you can confirm this for real..
This is only for people who actually open to ideas, not for people who just want to ***** and moan.
I wanna buy the 8GB, for every day use it will be perfect for me, but for the odd case where I go on a long plane journey and don't want to take my tablet, I wondered if there is solution...and then I realised there was, and it's ultra compact.
USB on the Go is the saviour here. Pair this adapter with this tiny USB stick and you suddenly have 32GB extra space.
If your feeling more adventurous, you could go down this DIY route too, very cool and I might be trying this myself
But how is this implemented on the software side? Does stock android support this?
sure, usb host ist what you need

Yeap that's possible, but absent of miniSD card is a big deal breaker for me considering this is just only 8GB - and there's a nice article at http://www.androidpolice.com, why this is so cheap considering this is unlocked phone. It sounds like Google did sacrifice some specs make the cost down and more affordable.
I have Samsung Galaxy S III with 16GB, and plust 32GB sd card, I am already running out space since I save a lot of musics, and games on my sd card and since we all carry the phone with us (not like 10 inch tablet), it makes better sense to have bigger space on your phone.
so really 8GB quite deal breaker.
Don't think that I am *****ing and moanning about it, Nexus 4 specs quite amazing and looks premium quality, and what you said about USB stick would work just fine, but just wanted to share my 5 cent opinion here.
I think that this could work. Im also looking to buy the 8gb flavor.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying everyone will be happy with 8GB, I just didn't want people coming in here just to moan. It's down to cost, and if you need more space, that's cool.
16GB is enough for me, and if I need more space I'll use dropbox/google drive
Of course I would prefer microSD slot, but... I guess for 350$ which includes S4 Pro, 2GB RAM, 2100mAh battery, two cameras and its a nexus, we can't complain about anything!!

Yeah, the lack of storage and no sd card for me is also a deal breaker. It's such a shame because I'm really excited about the device. The price here in the UK is so low for what appears to be a high end device, it's amazing. In fact, I've never felt so conflicted about a device. I really want it, but I know it won't hit the mark, purely for lack of storage. With games like NOVA 3 taking up 3GB, plus my sat nav requiring almost 2GB, there won't be much space for other stuff. Data coverage where I live is pretty hit and miss so streaming media from the cloud still isn't a viable alternative for me yet which is a shame. Perhaps it will at least help to drive down the price of other handsets that have high end SoC?
I think the OP's suggestion is a very good one. This approach works well most of the time on a Galaxy Note, as long as it's just a flash drive or micro SD card that the phone can successfully power. I wonder if there would be a way to toggle something like 'directory bind' on and off so that you could put music/media/data files for games on a micro sd card, then just plug it in when you need, change the path of the internal SD card to the external one, then fire up a game. That would be a reasonable compromise from my perspective.
Such a shame, it's so cheap
I don't understand the people who want to buy the 8gb version. Its only a little bit more for the 16gb version.
.. and don't say its because you can't afford it.. because if this phone was the same price range as the galaxy nexus or any other high end smart phone you would still buy it.
Just pay that little bit extra and get double the space.
I have a USB-OTG cable and a USB microSD card reader so I would just buy another 16GB/32GB card and carry that around with me. It is easy to take out and plug in and easy to put away when not needed.
Hey guy's. My Girlfriend got a Galaxy Nexus and YES USB-OTG is part of the Chipset Configuration the GN comes with! The Snapdragon S4 Pro APQ8064 Chipset supports OTG as well. In the pure Android-Roms the Nexus Devices are running the Firmware supports OTG by default. As I know it's included in the kernel... so no need to create a problem!!!
buy a OTG Adapter - 1,99€ on Amaz...
buy a USB Stick 32Gb. - 12,00€ even on Amaz..
buy a LG NEXUS 4 16GB - 349,00€
= 362,99€ complete!
so if you compare this the other "leading devices" you save up to 200€!!! so you see, no need to spend tears and cry.... Start smiling cause you got a few buck's left to buy some Christmas presents for the family!
I use Google Music and sync my photos to my 50GB dropbox account (thank you Samsung!). 16GB is more than I ever need. The only time I get close to using that much is if I'm dual booting 2 different roms.
I do this with my Nexus 7 and plan to continue doing it with the Nexus 4! Really useful when I want to stick a film or tv show on there and watch on the go.

Yes this would work. I personally have done it with my Gnexus and nexus 7. However, you have to be very careful with that thing sticking out of your phone. It could be very easy to knock the phone over or drop it or something and I would be concerned about hurting the stuff inside the phone.
good alternative... currently have the 16GB NS4G and was really excited when i saw the tweet about the N4 and N10 today... disappointed by no Verizon/Sprint compatibility tho... this definitely would've been my next phone if i could use it on these networks...
question about his alternative tho... is 32GB the limit it can read or can you go up to something like 64GB storage as well??

Why do you need so much space? I'm using an Xperia S right now, with 32GB and I've got over half of it free. 18GB free to be precise, but I haven't been deleting photos and such that I don't need, so they're at 1.3GB.
Looks like SanDisk is keeping it under wraps - spoke to SanDisk support rep - he denied existance, but the info is getting spread all over the internet and some Taiwanese sites already list it in their inventory, like this one: http://www.sbit.com.tw/en/productsearch.aspx?_searchtext=SDSDQUA-128G-U46A
Making a placeholder thread for this card - please post any news here and of course links, if you see it available. I expect formal announcement from SanDisk in the next couple of months or so
I wonder how much those will go for?
a year ago, when 64GB one, the one in my signature, came out it was $229.99 on SanDisk site...Don't expect this to be any less...after all - it's double in size

That is true and you should theoretically even get better performance and data integrity from the card with the larger surface area. However there is the convenience to the micro sd of have not having to worry about possible mods to make it fit inside your case etc

Bingo- I have a ribbon adapter soldered to a Kingston sdcard. Believe me its a pain if I want to remove it to put it in an adapter to go in the PC for whatever reason. It was difficult to solder, it's difficult to fit, and just plain a nuisance overall (but I do love having my 70gb music library and tons of leftover room for videos or whatever). Even I would strongly consider getting a $200 ish 128gb microsdxc.
I don't understand what Sandisk is waiting for. There is obviously a demand for 128GB microsdxc cards. is it possible that Sandisk couldn't manage to fit 128GB on the tiny microsdxc card?(not yet anyway?)
the 128GB SDXC cards are selling quite well... I bought the Sandisk one for only $120 recently.(for use in my camera)
Its a combination of time it takes to develop the technology and making a production pipeline for it. Once its ready they're not gonna make 100 of those cards - they're gonna make 100 million of them.

If anyone gets one and can test it I'd love to know if it works with a Nokia 808?

It's probably pressure from the network carriers. The service providers want people using smaller built-in memory so they use the cloud more. If users rely on the cloud over local storage, there is a much higher likelihood they'll go over their monthly data cap and get charged for overage. It's likely part of the reason Apple is the only major smartphone manufacturer (that I can think of) that hasn't adopted expandable memory via a MicroSD card slot. A 128GB MicroSD card would allow the majority of people to carry their entire collection of music, videos and pics around. Bandwidth demand would drop and carriers would lose overage revenues.

Yeah but their is a shi* ton of people qho take thousands of pics and videos. Music etc. Unless they go 64GB internal or 128GB internal there is still a need.

Disagree.
Carriers aren't making the phones. Carriers do want people to rely on added data usage but don't want to over-burden data plans which is exactly what streaming 128 gigs of media would do if it weren't onboard.
My media collection is just over a terabyte still and I have no desire to try to stream that even on my unlimited data plan.
BTW, HTC is also on this 'no expandable storage' kick for some reason. I think they're just being cheap on components to maximize profit.
the delay is most likely they're still testing the card to make sure it works as expected on various devices. These cards are used in other devices besides phones.
I highly double carriers have much input into this. The memory makers are always looking for ways to add more storage and a reasonable price for profit. And more and more, mobile devices are not including ways to expand memory; then the phone can be charge for stupid amount for a tiny bit of extra memory.
Like many, I look forward to having the extra memory. I seem to blow through memory on my phone; yet, not on the tablet.
Cant wait till these are out!
I have way too much music, and to be honest, this would be great for carrying roms and kernels with me, as well as other stuff in case I have to do an emergency reflash. 128GB would be dandy to have.

I'm not super familiar with microSDXC technology, but I have a question -- how do we know a Note II will support a card of this capacity? I thought that the largest card a Note II could support is a 64GB one.

At the time that the phone was released, the largest capacity sdcx micro card available was 64gb. I suppose that theoretically, the phone might be able to see higher cards when they are released.
8 months ago I bought a SanDisk 64GB micro SD for $56. I think it has been out for almost 2 years. When the 128GB comes out it will drop in price quick. Why? Because they need to get them sold before the 256GB comes out. Then the 512GB. Then the 1TB and so on...

What really matters is that this phone supports microSDXC, so it should support any size microSDXC. All of my android phones worked with the 64gb microSDXC even though this is the first one that officially supported it.
I'm holding out hope to see if there will be a release of the 32GB version of the S5. My HTC One X has been driving me crazy with bad battery life! I'm so ready to just buy the S5 but trying to be patient and wait out the 32GB model. Just curious if Anton DE else is waiting or if you're all just going for it?
Sent from my One X using xda app-developers app
Personally, I never felt the need for anything over 16gb. All my previous phones have been 16gb's and I never even came close to filling them up...and that was with music and pics on the internal storage. This time, I have a 32gb SD card for all of that...so I'm set. :good:
It all depends on your personal needs. I know those who were wanting the 32gb model were/are hoping it'll be released in the 2 week return time-frame, but I doubt it, unfortunately. It definitely does suck that they screw over those people.
I'm waiting. Thus will be my work phone, which means I have to buy through my company and can only get a new phone every 18 months.i want to make sure I have room for apps, mail, etc... My S3 only stays at about 1G free through regular pruning.
I just bought a 64GB memory card, problem solved. If I somehow use all that space I know the phone will support up to 128... so no use in waiting honestly and I didn't. Using my S5 now.

You do realize that the real reason most people wait is because apps really don't move to the SD card anymore right? That means your stuck with the 7 or 8 gigs you have on your phone no matter if you bought yourself a SD card or not for your apps and various other stuff that need to physically be on your phones memory.
Sent from my LG-D800 using Tapatalk
Yup 16 gig is definitely not enough. 32 gig is decent but Samsung has so much features/bloat the phone only really comes with a limited amount of memory. I remember having the 32 gig s4 and even though it was 32 it still wasn't enough memory. I put a bunch of music on my phone.

The phone comes with 10.5 GB of memory on board. An SD card could hold all your pictures, music, documents, and even some apps. That's plenty of space on your phone for apps.

Thanks for all the replies, I believe I'm going to just hang in there with my crappy battery life until the 32GB shows up.

My thoughts exactly. The only reason I could see someone needing more space is for the big games...and maybe a select few of the bigger GPS apps. I never install any games, so that doesn't affect me and Google Maps works perfectly fine for me. Different strokes for different folks, though
If your in the same situation as me and do not have an upgrade available, then it's already expensive enough to get a 16. Much more cost effective to get 16 and ExSD.

Prices are all similar with the top phones. I'd also be interested in a GPE of the S5.
Or the new LG coming out later in summer, who knows, I have till August to end

Yessir, I am. I have a 32gb S4, so the S5 better come out with it at a minimum. I would love a 128gb internal...
When I got my S4 I waited for the 32Gb version. My 16Gb S3 almost always had the sdcard full and I would have to delete stuff sometimes for Roms and such to download. I personally would not go back to a 16Gb version.
My biggest reason is this. If you get root and put on a ROM (hopefully in the future) and want to have 1 nandroid backup then that backup is about 4+Gb's. Not everything works best when put on a a external sdcard , the read/write speeds are a hendrance even with a class 10 card. I do have to say that I did a lot of making themes and tearing apart Roms so I could theme them. So I would fill up my internal and external sdcard pretty fast. Let alone if I was putting movies and music on it as well. I personally am waiting for a T-Mobile S5 with 32Gb's...

FWIW, completely moved in with all my apps, and a couple new ones, 64 Gb SD card on board with media, and the 16 Gb device reports 9.17 Gb available internally (down from just under 11 Gb as shipped) and 31.08 Gb available on SD card.
I consider myself a median-to-light app installer, and I'm aggressive about uninstalling stuff I'm no longer using.
If you're someone who'se "phat" on apps then you'll want more, but for the rest of us I can't see how it's not livable with the SD card.
Brought my S5 back yesterday because I'm waiting for the 32Gb version (trying the M8 to pass away the time). I've been friends with the at&t mgr for couple years, he said AT&T will be getting the 32gb and a gold version...didn't say when though.
If the 32gb version doesn't come out in a couple weeks or so, I'll go back and get the 16gb. I'm just taking a chance that AT&T and company are pulling the same stunt with the S5 as they did with the S4.
Coming from the Galaxy Note 10+, I decided to upgrade to S21 Ultra since it supports s pen. And while I'm a power s pen user, I didn't mind the removal of a few s pen features. What I actually did mind is the fact that they removed the micro sd card slot. I was rocking a 400GB micro sd on my old phone but now I don't know what to do with it. I'm also worried that I might fill up the internal 256GB soon as it had happened to me before, it's why I bought the sd card on my Note 10+ in the first place.
Share what you did with your old micro sd cards and maybe I can find a solution with my small ordeal.
I haven't used an SD card in a phone for 5 years now. I also have not lost a single photo or file due to cloud backups being so efficient.
Easy.. Get USB C MicroSD card reader and plug your old card in. Back up photos when needed..
Send it to Samsung, tell them you want to be reimbursed.
I'm using mine in a dashcam for my car. Over time, the microsd cards can wear out, so it's good to keep feeding the dashcam...
Threw it in my Tab S7+

Nope, won't be trading a horse for a donkey. It cost me an extra $400 to aquire a device with the amount of storage I need because greedy Sammy pulled the plug on MicroSD with their flagship smartphone. For that amount I'm entitled to moan as much as I like!
Put it in my backup s8+. I'm really hoping they come back with microSD support cause like you, I bought a 400gb card. And it's actually nice to have the option of backing up my pictures to card and uploading them through cloud

That's your opinion which means nothing to me. I made the right decision, Samsung is the one who blew chunks lowering internal storage capacity and dropping external storage. Most users feel the same, if you don't agree who cares?
Had a 256GB card almost full on my S8 and it's still sitting around.
Don't really care about photos or videos since I can cloud store whatever, but I like to have my music on the phone to listen on the go through a DAC.
Down to 170GB free at the moment on the 512GB phone, but I could probably clean up around 5GB.
You can never have too much backup storage although hdds are preferable over flash. Good for backing up that lame one drive phone
Meh I'm still running my 10+ still on Pie because both Samsung and Gookill dropped the ball multiple times.
No SD card slot, no sale.
Samsung been playing this game for years, lol it's not the end of the SD card slot for Sammy unless they're hell bent on losing a big chunk of their customer base.
As it is now Android 11 is dud. More fail to come with 12 as well? I might just be running 10+'s for a couple more years.
Whatever, I don't care, fk 'em.
The only upgrade I'm doing is going from a 512gb card to a 1tb V30 card
Maybe buy another 10+ or less likely a 20U.
Sammy dearest; actions have consequences...
Save them for the Note 22 Ultra which will have the SD card slot again.

Heh, of all the good suggestion here this is the one I think I'll agree on the most, albeit a bit ridiculous. However, since I just renewed my contract with my network provider this year, I won't be able to get a new phone until 2023, so maybe Note 23? Lol

I hope this is true. If not, I'll have to move on to Sony phones. My 1tb card is sitting in .y drawer waiting to be used again. In the meantime I'm managing the space on my phone all the time to make sure I don't go over. Makes it inconvenient.

Turn it into a backup drive but always back that up redundantly with at least 2 hdds that are physically and electronically isolated from each other. No such thing as too much backup.
Since you lost the data drive capacity with the SD card slot frequent internal memory backups are mandatory. A .5tb flash stick is the easiest then verify the data and back it up to the stand alone hdds. Staggering the hdd backups to the hdds helps to prevent possible malware data lose.
Flash memory by it's self is not a good backup plan... use hdds as the primary backup. Keep the backups off the PC OS hdd.
The best setup is always separate OS and data drives... Samsung

Wrong again, guess you didn't notice XDA changed course and decided to post a link for unlocking US Branded devices after myself and others raised objections. Samsung may do the same as they pay close attention to posts in thus forum. Your opinion won't alter my dissent but you might want to apply for a position in Samsung's PR Department, your defense of their brain dead move will likely gain you a fast promotion.
