Most businesses run that way. Seems strange from a simple logical perspective. Makes perfect sense when you look at it from an accounting standpoint though.

As for the lawsuit. This is Apple's pattern. They make themselves the 'innovators' of the industry, everyone else jumps in and surpasses them, competitors release superior versions of what Apple once 'innovated', Apple sues everyone they can as they slip into senility refusing to admit they are no longer the most advanced and innovative product on the market anymore, Apple sues everyone claiming lack of fair competition is destroying them, Apple hires new CEO to turn company around and fix bad image created by last few steps, new CEO makes them 'innovators' of the industry again.

This has all happened before, and will probably happen again.
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
The messaging is stock android. The settings doesn't look alike.

The gallery has a flower but they're not that similar at all. Itunes doesn't have that logo so technically that doesn't matter anymore.

Other than that, the phone, memo, and contacts are the only thing relatively similar. And honestly, if apple is suing them over three icons, then they've lost their mind. If I just happened to make a phone icon that was green, it's not automatically owned by Apple.
[Epic 4G General] rygran87:
Agreed. I never realized that the background of the gallery icon was a flower, but it isn't similar enough to be called stealing an icon. Gears are commonly used for Settings and Apple did not come up with that. My mother had a cell phone, an audiovox, that had a green phone symbol for sending calls. Was there an Iphone in the late 90's? If so, all cell manufacturers stole that from them. Music notes over a disc? Maybe they could have used a single 1/8 note instead of two, but it still is an original icon, IMO. The contacts icon is the closest, but what would they use otherwise?
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
It absolutely is similar enough to sue over. Not only did Samsung choose to have a flower represent their gallery, but a YELLOW flower?? The background of the phone icon is green . . . The contact icon is a silhouette of a man inside a binder . . . These are way too similar not to violate trademarks. And not all of them have to be exactly similar. If one icon looked similar it would be nothing. When you start adding multiple icons that have elements that are exactly the same as Apple's, then Apple can clearly make a case that Samsung directly is violating their trademarks.
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
100% positive. Look at page 6 of the complaint filed by Apple.
[Epic 4G General] nanobytecomputers:
The icons look pretty standard to the ideal icons used in windows linux unix and mac over time in operating systems.

apple sues over icons but Samsung has dug out the toy chest of things to counter sue for

Not to mention apple just messed up relationships on hardware manufacturing.

I would bet Samsung will delay and stop orders for parts.

Apple has to have something up there sleeve or there complete idiots
[Epic 4G General] rygran87:
This would not happen. As many have said, Samsung would not stop business over this petty suit. That contract is worth WAY too much.
[Epic 4G General] nutswillkillme:
I wish I could find the article, but if I recall correctly, Apple at one point was sueing HTC over the use of Google Maps on their Android phones...

I have this image in my head of Steve Jobs sitting in a room snorting coke off of an iPad and throwing darts at a board full of phone developer names and whoever gets the dart gets the lawsuit... These are getting rediculous.
[Epic 4G General] ungovernable1977:
I think the dumbest is the green phone argument... what have been the colors for talk and end for years??? Go? Stop? They just took the green and red buttons off for post donut phones, and kept the now onscreen phone button green... so ****in what. I agree you could probly sue over all of this, but its just petty and stupid. Sammy should just offer to settle low and knock it off their iphone5 bill... I really think all of samsungs suits are to point out how petty this all is. Hire 'innovative' phone designers, not lawyers. Oh wait, they expect their users to use the same phone layout over how many generations?? Crap. Send em back to yuppies home offices and kiddie computer labs at elementary schools.

I actually have a feeling that the new ios, with adding widgets and notifications is going to somehow be copying android/touchwiz.

I don't know why, but I feel that if Apple adds widgets, and Android-like notifications, that Google's going to go after them, and that would be fun to watch.
[Epic 4G General] xboxfanj:
Can they really use the talking while on the Internet argument? Can't any GSM Phone do that? Can't our phones do that? How is that something they invented? Microsoft should sue them over using multi-tasking because they did it before. Apple really is a bunch of fruits.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cdub5:
Does the nandroid bu via cwm contain bootloaders? Just want to know, if I have GB boots, if I can restore a stock 2.2 bu without probs. I know I would first have to flash a 2.2 based rom, but should I do a one click before I restore?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jemack:
The way I understand nandroid backups is 2.1 to 2.1, 2.2 to 2.2 etc.

What you are asking may work since some 2.2 roms will run on the 2.3 bootloaders......but do you really want to run the risk of bricking your phone? Either way better safe than sorry. Just my opinion.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soccer_Dad:
Nandroid backs up the system and data areas, so doesn't address things such as bootloaders, kernel, and modem. I have gone back and forth from gingerbread to froyo, so it can be done. I am always on I9000 roms, so the modem is always compatible. I do need to flash a new kernel before updating, which I have done in Odin, with the auto reboot unchecked. Then I button combo to recovery, and restore.

In theory, you can flash a new kernel with SGS kernel flasher, and go into recovery and restore, and avoid PC entanglements, but I haven't done so.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] V_I_R_U_S:
Hi

1st of all Thanks a ton for such a wonderful website for Android users.

I have searched the forum and got some of my answers..but i am in doubt with the following issues:

I bought a Samsung Vibrant last week which was in Froyo, It was used by someone else and his gmail account was synced there..

For that reason i did the factory reset to remove that gmail account and add my gmail account

but after doing so, my vibrant got stuck in VIBRANT Screen.. I waited for almost 20 minutes but no luck!

Then i gave my vibrant to repair shop to resolve..they resolved it and working fine now..

But my confusion is, If i did the factory reset in future, whether my Vibrant will be network locked or Stuck in VIbrant screen or not..

I am residing in Bangladesh whether t-mobile doesnot work and that's why i have to use it via unlocking the network

I updated my vibrant to froyo with Mini Kies.

Any help or suggestion would be highly appreciated

Thanks in advance
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xenstier:
As long as you extracted your unlock code, you can ALWAYS unlock your vibrant..

ALSO

In reference to the brick after factory reset I know alot of ROMs have that feature broken. I would just wipe and reflash when I ever would need to remove a gMail account.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] V_I_R_U_S:
Thanks for the reply.My confusion arose because i am not using any custom Rom now,I just upgraded to Froyo via Mini Kies.

If i ever try to remove the gmail account then if i factory reset it then i doubt whether it will brick my device again or not.

Sneaky, right? So to clarify that's VZW > Phone > Xoom > PC. The problem comes in when I get to the last step. The tethering options are all missing from the menus. I've seen them before, despite being a WiFi Xoom. Anyone have any ideas? Maybe it's only on the stock kernel?

Hi I was wondering if someone could point me to a fully working miui froyo rom. If there isn't one then can someone port one from the other galaxy phones or from the nexus one. Thanks in advance
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoffcorey:
You're not going to get any froyo cm or miui roms, only gb. That's just the way it is.

And, GPS doesn't work on froyo cm/miui roms either. Also, all development on froyo cm/miui has ceased across all phones and in their place is the respective gb versions.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ameedi600:
The only reason I wanted a froyo build because the gb version installation seems risky and I don't want to Odin or anything. I just want to have a gb rom that doesn't force you to Odin.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abu-7abash:
There's plenty of Froyo roms around here to pick from, no MIUI or CM7 though. That ships already sailed for those guys.

EDIT: And you really need to know how to Odin. Even when jumping through Froyo roms eventually you'll have to Odin to clear things up.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jneal9:
The Vibrant CM7 installation is now no more risky than any other rom. Very easy to flash. You can get one of the nightlies and flash through rom manager. I would not go above #8 yet though since those have call audio issues that need to be worked out.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ameedi600:
I know how to use Odin but I hate how you have to clear up all the internal storage. I find it easier to just flash it through cwm. Will we still have to flash the bootloaders if and when the official 2.3 release comes to the vibrant
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoffcorey:
What? Odin doesn't touch your internel sdcard nor does it touch your external sdcard.

Also, the froyo cm and miui had way less working, and required some Odin to get it working.

As for 2.3 bootloaders, I'm sure you will have to because after hearing revs dissect the i9k gb roms and source, seems some initialization calls have been moved into the bootloader (i.e. gpu initialization has Ben moved to bootloader)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bisena:
I got the service up and running just fine, but I am having an issue with music playback.

My issue is that I cannot figure out how to command the service to play an entire album, or a set of songs. Did I miss something stupid or does the service not have that ability?

If the service does not have that ability, is there a free option that does?

I apologize if this has been asked and answered, I did a quick search but nothing came up that seemed to be related.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MustNotSleep:
If this was asked already, excuse my search skills, I couldn't find this on the forum.

Anyway, does the Galaxy S II have a lanyard hole?

I've tried looking at the video reviews, and countless of pictures, but either I can't see it, or it just doesn't have one.

Can someone who owns the phone confirm this, please?

I've never been a fan of lanyards, but considering $800 will be dangling from my fingers every time I use the phone, I'd much rather have a strap of some sort in case I manage to drop it. Yes, even with a case on, I'd still like a lanyard of some sort.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Locster126:
There is no lanyard hole...i thought there was one at first as there is a random hole on the top left but its jist a hole(what is it for?), no two exits for lanyards...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ludow:
Yes there is. Top left. I have used two different lanyards.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kohiiou:
LOL -- I think that's a cute answer. :P

The random hole is the lanyard hole -- like the previous reply shows, you first remove the back cover.

Next to that random hole, you'll notice there is a hook right next to the hole. Push the entire small loop (the phone end of the lanyard) through the hole, wrap the loop around the hook, and pull to tighten.

The Nokia 5800 also uses a similiar style lanyard hook.

Why do guys use lanyard on their phones? I know it's cute on girls but guys... ummm...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowofdarkness:
I use it because I work in a warehouse and I am not allowed headphones and it muffles the sound in my pocket. So I hang it around my neck and run the radio for 8 hours straight.

*I work spread out in to big a area for a stationary radio. Also machinery has a habit of hitting me exactly at the pocket it would be kept in.

A couple guys like my idea that the next phones they buy are going to have radio or at least smart phones for music playback and lanyard holes.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iqak:

[myTouch 3G Slide General] txdeathray:
Nah, our device can only be unlocked manually, as well as all the other devices that's been released with S-ON. Sense has lots of eye-candies and does take up quite a bit of space, but it's the most practical custom UI out of the box. I've used my friends' phones with Motorola and Samsung a few times, but they're nowhere near the functionality of Sense right out of box. I know some people don't like Sense because of how much space it takes up (main reason I went to CM7 for a few months) or for whatever reason, but on newer devices with more storage available and with things like data2ext/a2sd (DarkTremor's), storage is no longer an issue for me personally =D
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carngeX:
Having an odd issue, and I can't seem to find any information on it.

It seems that randomly my text messages won't actually save to my phone. I'll get a notification of a text received, and the preview of it shows up in the notification bar, but when I go to check it (either clicking the notification or opening up the app), it won't be there. It's like I never got the message. It's not in either the stock app or GoSMS's database. It would do this when I used Handcent as well tho too.

Anybody else have any issues like this, or know of a fix? I'll have to reboot my phone several times, or even try sending myself test messages to see if it fixes itself or not.

You should just download the picture, then resize it (you can use some picture editing stuff on your phone or computer. I'd do PicSay from the market, it's easy and free) to 480 X 800.

I'm quite enjoying Pulse. It can import your Google Reader feeds (although it can't export its own feeds back to Reader), and for any feeds you have in both Reader and Pulse, the has-been-read flag will be synced.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] benmyers2941:
You can actually get it to sync? I've tried it several times and all I get is to check network connectivity.

Personally I've yet to find one I really like.

Feedly doesn't seem to sync fully or quickly for me. There have been times that I know I've read an article already and it still shows up. Also I find the layout kind of non-intuitive. When I hit "home" on it I keep getting back to different places.

Retab has a better layout, if a bit crude at the higher levels. Once I'm in a section though it does flow nicely. The problem again is that it doesn't sync or track the read state between levels. If I go into my "android" reader folder and read all of the articles it still shows I have unread when I go back up to the top level until I hit refresh.

News360 is cool looking but dead in the water for me. Twitter and Facebook are the dumbest places to look if you're trying to predict what I like to read. How about, oh I don't know, my google reader account? No? Ok, I'll take a look again when you decide that I can decide what I want to read on my own.

My real issue with all of the tablet readers is that they've all focused on being "different" with their look and feel and have failed with the basic fucntion of getting my news and keeping it organized efficiently. That's probably why I keep going back to NewsRob. It's butt ugly on a tablet, but it syncs appropriately and uses local cacheing so the whole damn list doesn't re-load every time I open the app.
