Believe it of not the Verizon Droid Turbo will soon be receiving an OTA update from Verizon! Don't get too worked up this is not an update to Marshmallow, rather this is a light update with some simple enhancements. There really isn't much to this update unfortunately. All we will see here is an...

Verizon must be the worlds worst carrier when it comes to developer friendliness. They have chosen to lock up their devices tight. The generally don't approve of devices that have unlockable bootloaders. Verizon even took about 6 months to white list the Nexus 6 for activation. That being said...

When the official specs were added to the pre-order page on HTC.com for the Unlocked version of the HTC 10 there was a bit of excitement that the phone features all the bands needed for a phone to fully work on Verizon's network. Knowing how Verizon likes to do business I figured this was too...

This is pretty grim news. Verizon's enterprise service has been hacked and more than 1.5million users have been affected. The data is currently being sold for a mere $100,000. Apparently 97% of Fortune 500 companies use Verizon's Enterprise service for business. One reason a company would use...

In a crazy turn of events today we found out that... Netflix has been throttling streams to 360p across many carriers. AT&T and Verizon are just a few carriers that have been throttled by Netflix. This all came out after T-Mobile CEO stated in a video advertising Binge-On that Netflix streamed...

It looks like Verizon has finally done something right! The Verizon Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge is totally sim unlocked and can be used on other carriers. This is great news considering that other carrier versions ship sim unlocked, but automatically lock the phone to the carrier once you...

One thing that Samsung did wrong in my opinion is selling carrier locked phones in the US. I prefer a phone that supports all carrier bands sold directly to the consumer by the manufacturer. Huawei and Motorola are the best examples of this with the Nexus 6P and Moto X Pure. Both of these phones...

Just got this in an email, it's tempting but must resist......

In an unprecedented move Verizon is allowing Moto X 2nd Gen phones to be bootloader unlocked via the traditional method. You can now head on over to the Motorola developer site and it will generate a proper bootloader unlock code. I am still not sure if Verizon had any say in this matter, or if...

We are starting to get somewhere with the root bounty for the AT&T and Verizon variants of the LG V10! The bounty total has now reached more than $2500. Yesterday a couple more devs announced they would step up to the challenge. There are now more than a handful of devs working on this, and one...
