[Epic 4G General] G.I.Geoff:
Let me say that, A. Apple makes a crappy operating system (Both iOS, and MacOSX), Crappy hardware, and a poor manner of everything (updates, 56 page long user license agreement (they own your soul by the end of that I'm pretty sure), and a crappy user interface, and a list of 500 million problems that make their stuff ridiculous to consider). B. They cannot really get away with this, because this alienates apple. If the partners think they could become targets? Well then, things get a bit turbulent. C. Apple could NOT build its own factories. And heaven forbid they do. They ORDER crappy hardware, and make an even worse operating system. God forbid they bring their hardware down to their software's level.
[Epic 4G General] SubnetMask:
There are only so many ways you can make a wheel....

So, in order to not "copy" apple, should it be more like this:

Phone Icon: picture of a cat

SMS icon: picture of a boat

Media icon (I think that's what it is): Picture of a tree

Settings icon: picture of a light bulb

notepad icon: picture of a car

Contacts icon: Picture of a plane

Seriously... You're goign to make the icons represent the functions. No matter how indetical or different they may look, they will always have similarities, and knowing Apple, they will try to claim it was their idea regardless...

I HATE all things Apple... I'd LOVE to see that worthless, POS, Kool-aid drinking, Tofu farting company go bankrupt and disappear.... but that's me.
[Epic 4G General] CapsLockKey:
Yep, because Apple was the first company to use the old rotary phone handle shape in an image and also invented the color green and it's universal meanings like "go", "power on", "yes", "connect", etc.

I also understand Apple owns the copyrights of what an audio compact disc looks like and a musical note. Those were never used before to represent things like media or music players on anything before Steve Jobs came along and created them. Kind of like how he seems to think he owns the rights to the color white.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Why does the phone icon have to be green? Why does the contact icon have to be a man in a binder? Why is the photo icon a yellow flower? Exactly. If you guys wana play dumb just because we like android more than ios, then be my guest. Its obvious however that samsung is clearly violating the trade dress of ios icons which are patented.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Doesn't matter who was first. Apple patented that icon. End of story.
[Epic 4G General] tumbes20000:
An icon is simply a symbol so that would have to be a copyright. Moreover that copyright to be used
[Epic 4G General] CapsLockKey:
#1, you can't patent an image, copyright yes. #2 A generic green square with a phone handle in the middle isn't brand distinguishing. A green phone handle has been the universal image on almost every cell phone since they started making them. Apple has no exclusive rights to the "idea" of that image which is what you are arguing, saying Samsung ripped off their icons. Well Apple ripped off their icons then as well. It's the equivalent of Ford trying to sue Chevy for using this as their headlight indicator.
[Epic 4G General] tumbes20000:
By the company as part of its image like the apple logo. A phone icon would hard to argue is special to apple. Now if apple has designed something and patent it (like push email) the patent basically says you can't do exactly the samething. Now a company can do something similar to achieve a similar result. Such as the wii remote vs ps3 move. Very similar mechanics and similar result. Otherwise nokia or motorola could have patented portable phones and sat on the patent for 20 years and we would still have bricks for phones
[Epic 4G General] b15love:
Even if the 3 icons looked similar, that's all it is. But apple is suing for much more than that. Theyre considering the ENTIRE style of the device. which is completely false.
[Epic 4G General] b15love:
The U.S. Patent and Trademark dept is completely broken, allowing people to patent ****ing squares. I mean really? 4 X 4 grid squares..

I could patent the ****ing circle and sue everybodys ass. Then when I go to court, the judge will laugh his ass off
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
I completely agree.

No. If they can prove that Samsung copied the icons and is infringing on their trademarks, then it will be much easier to prove that Samsung derived other design elements from the iPhone as well.
[Epic 4G General] MДЯCЦSДИT:
The nexus doesn't have touchwiz. Epic fail Apple.
[Epic 4G General] ac16313:
Cant get better than this ;D
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
They are suing over both touchwiz and hardware design, most likely the Nexus S is being snuck into the suit to serve as a precedent to go after touch screen slab android phones, or even Google.
[Epic 4G General] b15love:
Did Apple even patent their icons?
[Epic 4G General] ungovernable1977:
What corporations can and cannot patent is ridiculous, just look at Monsanto, and the patenting of genetics... its ****ing ridiculous 'free trade' gone wild. I really think Apple is doing this more as a PR stunt, further cultivating their fake bohemian image, like they are protecting some beautiful commune they have built, when really its protecting corporate interests at the lowest level. But the good thing is that they see competition, and they are scared... hope it kills em. Oh, and the red and green for phones, ever look at the old tip and ring wiring? Are they going to sue the former Ma Bell for that? I think its hilarious that they are suing Samsung for copying the configuration of Samsungs components they chose... how clever. As much as I dont care for Moto, Amazon, and HTC, I really hope all of em get together and figure out how to rape Apple out of every cent they have. Are any of the companies on their side??? Sony is making Google TVs... LG is attempting their own push, one of the other big display panel makers, Apple are doing the same crap they have always done, put a ****ty THX 1138 white box around other peoples inventions, then make an Orwellian OS to put on it, and feed the drooling masses overpriced dog****.

I hope the countersuits hit them like a 'Fragmentation' grenade (pun intended).

[Xoom Accessories] johnbecerril:
so i just modded my xoom standard dock to include usb in what do you guys think

It wasnt hard it took about 30 minutes but i should mention the audio port on the stand doesnt work any more

all you have to do is open it up using by unscrewing it from under the grip pad on the bottom

then switch the usb cable with the micro usb cable already attatched to the dock make a hole on bottom half of dock

put everything back together and your done

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cyclonicks:
So my camera force close every time I try to use it..

So far I've tried different roms... like miui, cm7(used cm roms for a while), I've tried pure something roms, blandroid.. camera never worked.. tried one or two kernels too to no avail..

So I've reflashed everything to stock.. I mean STOCK lol.. still force closing..

anything else I might not know to try? Or I can assume it's an hardware issue?

I guess the reps at mobile store will throw a fit once they see the unlocked padlock lol if I ask for some help..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sevensaints:
mmm.. i am having the same prob here....

i thought it is because of the ROM...mmm. i have changed to basically All the latest ROMs....failed to make the camera working.

MAYBE it is a hardware issue. My N1 fell from my bed. few times. Im not so sure it was before or after.

FOUND the solution to Camera Not working Nexus One.

You have to go back to Stock ROM

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=717870&highlight=frf91

1. Go back to Stock RoM

2. Then flash back to your FAV ROM - Mine is Miui AU..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sevensaints:
not really the solution....

after 24 hours of working hard..

Camera WORKING - when using stock ROM

Camera NOT working - when rooted and custom ROM.

Did someone solve this problem? I have the same since yesterday (?!?) when i made the 2.3.4 update....

Maybe this problem is older in my n1, but i cant exactly say. I tried starting the camera app when sd-card is unmounted -> no effect, force close....
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goblinlord:
Actually... had a friend have the same issue. Though... it may or may not be the same as your issue. Brought it to an after service center near us and they cracked it open. They said there was a cable loose inside going to the board with the camera on it that was causing the issue. They put it back together and it has been working fine ever since. I am not exactly sure how a cable was loose inside where it shouldn't ever be moving... but it definitely fixed the problem. Hopefully you guys don't have the same problem.

Prior to going to the service center I backed up and flashed back to stock. Still had the same problem... though I seem to remember the message being odd when trying to use the camera. Was a while back so... >_< sorry.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoshLaw13:
Thanks in advance for anyone willing to either help me or point me in the right direction.

I stupidly deleted the stock mms app. Never used it so I figured it would be alright. Nope. It was only when I noticed that I was unable to send mms messages and I was getting double txt messages in GoSMSPro that I knew I had an issue. I've since learned I shouldn't have deleted stock. Whoops. I've tried reading, tried reflashing roms, reinstalling another stock MMS app. None seems to eliminate my issue. When I reflashed Bionix the problem goes away but after restoring my data the stock mms is still gone and problem is back. I'm under the impression to restore all I need I need to restore data from my latest backup after flashing, and I can't quite seem to find the right stock mms app or I'm either not installing it correctly. I've had my Vibrant for about 4 months, so I'm no expert at this point, and why I'm asking for help. Anyone?

EDIT: I got it, pm me if you want it

It seemed to install correctly, but when I got a txt its showing up there double and in GoSMSPro double as well. It's not the same green messaging icon as the stock I remember so I'm thinking it might not be the right one? I'm at a loss here. Any ideas?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZombiiBite:
any luck with the apk?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bfranklin1986:

Put mms.apk onto my external SD. Moved it to system/app but it wont install. Rebooted...doesn't show. It's in the folder but won't work. What the hell is going on? Tried APK Manager but it doesn't even show up there. Thanks for the help so far...looks like I need more.

so does this mean this is present in all android systems? and there's no solution for this?
[Defy General] xtrmshadow:
1)Yes this is present in all Android systems.

2)Solution : Yeah use a Task killer But!

3)Froyo + Gingerbread have their own task killers to manage RAM ,so when the device needs more RAM,the system automatically clears the sufficient ammount for whatever you're doing or going to do.

Just bought a used HTC Legend with Android 2.2 but recently noticed that the phone appears to have been rooted by the previous owner.

I found this while installing the Medscape app: the app doesn't download the clinical reference giving an error that I've come to discover is related with the fact that the app doesn't work in rooted phones or with adblock programs.

At the same time I found out that I had this "SuperUser Permission" app installed on my HTC that I can't seem to uninstall.

Given the fact that I'm a medical student, Medscape is really really important to me so I would please ask you to help me solve this problem. I'm not familiar with the procedures to "unroot" the phone so the best option would be to solve the problem using the quickest and most simple method...if it's necessary to unroot I will need your help!
