Put the phone down once in a while... Haha!I shower with my s5!!
I understand where you're going with this, but if all of them were able to be unlocked, the real question is how many people would unlock them. In most cases users wouldn't unlock them because they wouldn't see the need or desire to, and only those like us who are anxious to try different things with them such as flashing other ROMs or other types of mods would do the unlock. So my argument is the phone that would need to be secure would be secure and the ones that didn't need to be secure by choice wouldn't be.I actually like that they give us the "option". You give the regular user the security of having a truly "secure" phone, (or at least more secure). And those that want an unlocked bootloader, have that option available to them. There usually isn't any difference in price, and really....simply having the option available to us is what has made Android SO attractive for SO long. [emoji106]
S5 tap'n
Pool, yes. Beach, maybe. Shower, well, depends on who's in it with me.Aside from listening to music that's in the shower with me there may be some... video... reasons. ya know
I already take it everywhere else with me why not the shower or pool
Sorry to disappoint, but in all likelihood it's going to be either impossible or nearly impossible to unlock or root that phone. Motorola and Verizon were able to lock down the Droid Maxx and the Droid Ultra from rooting (using some pretty high end algorythm). So I have every reason to believe they use the same level or even more aggressive tactics to make this phone secure.I'm leaning towards the droid turbo. Looks to have the best specs overall. Hopefully it'll be easy to unlock the bootloader
I want to know how he showers with the s5. I mean, how does he hold the soap and the wash rag? How does he wash his hair? On second thought, maybe I don't want to know.[emoji15]I shower with my s5!!

I know exactly what you mean & how you feel.I want to know how he showers with the s5. I mean, how does he hold the soap and the wash rag? How does he wash his hair? On second thought, maybe I don't want to know.[emoji15]
I unlocked my RAZR HD. It won't be easy but I think it'll happen. I am also really considering the Sony Xperia Z3V.... Droid turbo is just beast.Sorry to disappoint, but in all likelihood it's going to be either impossible or nearly impossible to unlock for root that phone.

The Dev edition Samsung devices are just way for Samsung to get a few more customers, that's it. Once you purchase it, you are left in the cold. Not only do you sacrifice your warranty, but they offer 0, that's zero, support. No upgrades, no official firmware to restore, nothing. You flash your aboot partition once and you are done - no more Dev edition. Just a poor way to unlock a device imo.
Indeed. The Devs had to beg for months to get anything in the way of files, and IIRC, we're never given the stock boot images. The Dev Edition only got one official update and will as of now never see Lollipop. It is an utter waste of money, especially compared to what you get in terms of manufacturer and Dev rollout for LG, HTC, and Nexus devices, and even some carrier-branded Motos. This is not the phone to get if you want a robust customization library.The Dev edition Samsung devices are just way for Samsung to get a few more customers, that's it.

The RAZR HD was not locked down like the new MAXX and other recent Motorola phones are now. They still haven't rooted the MAXX on KitKat and it's been many months since the update broke root.I unlocked my RAZR HD. It won't be easy but I think it'll happen.
