Well Vodafone Uk have dropped a Clanger here
Rooling out a sneaky update to the S4,S5,Note 3 Htc One and Sony Z series
saying to manufactures is a security fix
But for many is saw the disable feature on Vodafone Bloatware removed and a RCS option put on
But the worst was to come
Samsung Devices had there stock SMS browser and SMS system messed up by this, So sending a TXT was made impossible
Vodafone blamed Samsung for this at first
HTC Users took the the eforum and made a 23+ thread (Now 25+)
see Rich Communication Suite - HTC One - Page 25 - Vodafone eForum
and the S5 Thread Rich Communications Suite - Samsung Galaxy S5 - Page 3 - Vodafone eForum
But as this hit the Note 3 First Samsung was already seeing the influx of calls to there call centre
They quickly scrambled and pulled the roms on all there devices to limit the Damage.
HTC and Sony followed suit
So what is going on
Well in a month of Vodafone pulling out of a Main stream supplier, there now wanting to make more money from there users
Every message goes to a third party company, the same company that has been running there Message+ app
and we all thought the Facebook app was not to be trusted
This has a massive terms and conditions
Terms and conditions -Vodafone Message+
This means that every txt and MMS goes Via this company that Vodafone say's it owns
They also state its the new way to send messages and all networks are doing this
well No there not !!! they might of signed up way back in 2008 but there not taking this on mainly as its Not on the Iphone
Vodafone can not inflict this pain on Apple users unless there stupid enough to download the app
Samsung has rejected two further Roms as the Third party company making or should i say messing up has done nothing to fix these issues
The main two are hijacking the stock app and the disable feature
Both are approved by Google
Vodafone also has no licence by google to place system apps
instead they have to comply with the third party Terms and conditions
This has not help there customers as they have phones that do not work
Samsung came up with a roll back fix, but that only works if you have used Kies to update in the past
But for many they have taken to Rooting to fix there phones
All Vodafone has offered is a feed back page or at cost they will roll back the phone
In one Move they have upset all Android users on Vodafone and should there true colours
I have de branded my handset with Samsungs help as it can be done Legaly with out tripping the Knox security
Vodafone should not be aloud to do this to people
