Apple, seems to have found a new way of beating the Android Competition, after suing Samsung for their Galaxy Range (Android Phones), for patent violation for design and User Interface.

Apple, did same with Amazon Appstore, complaining they didn’t like the AppStore name, saying Amazon Violated their Patent Apple AppStore name.

Apple has now turned to the booming Android Tablet and Smart Phone manufacturer form Taiwan, HTC. On July 8, the iDevice Manufacturer files a case against HTC, complaining for their Wndows and Android Tablets.

Apple has filed Five Patent Violations against HTC, among these Three are same as with Samsung.

” HTC is dismayed that Apple uses a competition in the courts rather than the market.” said Grace Lei General council at HTC.

If Apple is successful at winning this case against HTC, it could mean the BAN of certain HTC devices including the HTC Flyer on US Soil. This would be the biggest blow HTC has ever seen.

I am with apple here. There is no way Apple can compete HTC with their crappy overpriced phone.

I've seen sneak peeks of the latest IOS-5 yesterday. Their biggest innovation is "GESTURES". For god's sake, who the hell uses a gestures app? The only gesture I use is my launcher's gestures which doesn't require another app. I mean I just double click "anywhere" on the screen and my dialer pops up.

Steve Jobs is so narrow minded he can't come up with a good idea. But he can make good money by making HTC to pay him say $10 for every single hand set HTC sells.

If this is the only way to make money, he will try it.

His biggest rival is microsoft to be honest. Microsoft knows how to spank apple's bum better than anyone. They have 2 decades of experience on this apple bum spanking business.

Yeah, Apple may beat Android on the table but it will be beaten by Microsoft any day on any platform.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lambomanx1:
Meh, it's what Apple do. They think that everything is suable.

Why Samsung and HTC? Simple, the two other big players in the business. One's doing well pushing hardware (Samsung) and one is innovating with software (HTC).

Nothing will come of it in the end.

I am running Phoenix Ultimate and have had Go SMS Pro installed for months. Installed an update two days ago and the phone started having serious problems. The phone was running hot and had no battery life. It kept locking up to where I had to pull the battery to get it started again. This happened about six times in eight hours. If I tried to view my contacts, it would say there was no information for the contact. Also, when my alarm did not go off yesterday morning, I looked at the phone and it was rebooting as if the alarm made it reboot. Deleted the Go SMS Pro app and the phone is working normally. Anybody else experience any problems with the update?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrewCial:
Ive had the following issue ever since I got my desire, but only now starts to irritate me.

Whats happening is that internal memory disappers randomly. For instance, when I have 30mb free space and I install an app of 4mb, Im left with 26mb of course. The weird thing, however, is that when I uninstall the 4mb app, I do not get back up to 30mb of free space but rather something like 28. Where has the remaining 2mb of memory gone to?

Additionally, when I start the day with e.g. 30mb free space, it can spontaneously jump down a couple of mb's at the end of the day (one minute I have 30mb, the next I have 27mb). Mind you, this is without touching the market and installing/uninstalling apps.

It only started bothering me today, because I had uninstalled quite alot of apps last week to have 30mb of free space, but only have 22mb of free internal memory at the moment of typing.

If anyone could help me out or could shed some light on this issue, I would be very grateful.

I use app2sd program to clear all cache btw.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
I think this has to do with the dalvik cache. But I am not sure. Overall, I would say: When you do not have any problem with installing/uninstalling apps or other things, do not bother about it. ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrewCial:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smhtc:
Most applications have 3 parts that occupy storage space: Code (.apk), Data (user settings and preferences) and Cache(some images etc downloaded during previous sessions).

When you uninstall app, the data and cache are removed immediately. But for some apps, the .apk file is retained. It is sometimes removed after rebooting phone, sometimes immediately, otherwise not removed at all.

Use a file explorer like ES File explorer to check if you find the .apk file somewhere. To search quickly, connect phone to computer in mass storage mode, and search the mounted usb drive using usual windows\linux file search.

I have a htc desire stock orange uk, S-OFF, rooted.

download Link2sd (you have to be rooted)

With link2sd all I did was use Ubuntu and gparted to partition my 8gb sd card the 2nd partition set at 1024mb and the rest all together and both FAT32, as on the market app info it says ext2, ext3 etc etc can only be used with a custom rom.

hope this helps

This has been a life saver went from 17MB free to Nearly 60MB!!!!!

Also if you suddenly wondering why your memory disappears, try changing the amount of days email you have on your phone in each email account setting. Have mine set at one day. If you really need to get an older email you can just change it whenever and send and receive.

Did a bit of research but can't really find any definite answers.. Is there a flashable rom that will allow the Hero cdma to work on Virgin or Boost? Voice.. or Voice and Data? When I go to boost/virgin website and enter my esn it tells me it's already in use... which it is.. but if I deactivate from Sprint will it then let me activate it?

thanks for any info.

roms should work on any carrier however virgin mobile is putting it in the t/c that rooting is a violation of the contract so i would be careful with them.

im actually getting ready to switch over to metro pcs my self because sprint decided to kick me of their network for roaming to much. im choosing metro because they can esn swap legally witch would allow me to keep my hero and its only 65$ for unlimited everything for 2 lines without a contract now thats a steel lol.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericc191:
I'm going to return my tablet to Amazon and wait for something better. I have been using the 10.1 non stop for the past two weeks and it is awesome. The few problems it has are with HC and not the hardware. However, I feel the processing power needs to be a bit higher for 1280x720 resolution and we need more video codecs. Nvidia say they won't make the same mistake with the upcoming quadcore, and since it's only 2 months away, the wait feels justified to me.

Don't get me wrong, this tablet owns all other HC tablets at the moment. I just would be very pissed off if the new tablets like the Amazon Hollywood appeared this Christmas and completely destroyed the performance of my 10.1 along with playing nearly any video I copy onto it.

I urge anyone still within their return period to consider sending it back. It would be one thing if the new tablets were 5 or 6 months out, but 2 months is too close.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeski27:
You do understand that if you actually lived by that way of thinking, you would

literally

(seriously, joking aside) never own a tablet...? Because lets say you were thinking about the original G-Tab when it first came out...but then heard that Honeycomb was on its way, so you waited...then Honeycomb shows up with its array of tablets (the Tegra 2 generation)...and as tempting and highly-praised as they may be, you then hear about the next round of Honeycomb tablets (with quadcores :rolleyes:)...but wait! not all that long after that should be the Ice Cream Sandwich debut with yet ANOTHER suite of tablets (with maybe hexa- or octo-core chips! :eek:), so I'm guessing you should wait for THOSE to come out, right?!?

No offense man, but I really wish people would come up with more logical, legitimate, and justifiable excuses for not buying new pieces of electronics, because face it - it is a 100% certainty that within 6 months of your purchase of said piece of electronics, it WILL be outdated to some extent. Like it or not, it is a virtual guarantee that within that amount of time the successor generation of products (in this case tablets) will hit the market with better specs and features than that of the product you bought. And that is a stone-cold

fact

something that all of us as fans of electronics and gizmos simply have to come to grips with. :cool:
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericc191:
If you read my OP, you would see my reasoning which should be more than justified with the next slew of more powerful tablets. 6 months is fine to me. Not 2 months, though.

I'll give you an example. I recently built myself a computer and started out with an X58 and a Core i7-950. About a month and a half later, the new P67 boards came out and that awesome i7-2600K with them. I asked on many forums what I should do and most said I should be happy with what I had. I ignored that advice and couldn't be happier. But, when I was building the 2600K rig, everyone kept telling me I was wasting my time because Z68 boards. I don't care about the upcoming Z68 boards because I'm very pleased with my PC. It's far superior to the i7-950 build and it will last for quite some time.

Tegra2 just isn't powerful enough. I can't even use a live wallpaper without stuff becoming sluggish and you can't argue that one. Try moving an icon around with a live wallpaper running.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mughalgxt:
Well, in my case they sure are an investment literally, doing post-graduation the laod of coursebooks is unbearable, these a step ahead from usual e-ink crap have helped me a lot, adding the annotation feature. It ain't mere multimedia box where you throw all 1080p movies (God knows from where!:rolleyes:) and expect playback or else failure. Consider the excellent resolution, the browser experience with flash:o and excellent apps around (actually mean the THD games!) plus QUick office HD (as free!!! take this iPAD) and pdf readers like Repligo and eZpdf.

One man's bad experience doesn't justify the claimed redundancy of such a wonderful piece of technology! Quad-cores ahead, sure let'em on, more fun is ahead, massive multitasking and profound browser experience with emerging social networks like google+ and prevalent Fbook!

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericc191:
Now see I'm not saying the tablet is a bad experience. But I think it's a good idea to hold out a few months. It's the same thing with phones. I really like the Sensation and the Evo 3D, but the Nexus is coming this Christmas too. I've been patiently waiting for it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeski27:
Effing priceless :D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeski27:
So are you honestly going to say that right about when the time comes for you to buy the phone you're holding out for and you hear rumors swirling about the next phone after that (and this will happen, by the way, it has happen with every single major period of Android-related releases so far), that you won't be tempted to do the same thing over again (that is, hold off until that comes out?). You seem to be missing the point - if you subscribe to this it will unarguably be an endless circle. And it is by no means your fault necessarily, its the Apples, Samsungs, HTCs, LGs, Sonys, Motorolas, Toshibas, etc of the world who are coming out with newer generations of productions, not yearly, or even every 6 months, but most often even less than that. Of course the good side of that is the technology is progressing super fast these days, so I guess that's the tradeoff that we all have to live with - major progression and innovation of tech but with each piece getting trumped by the next every few months :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericc191:
I can honestly say I will get the Nexus 3 or whatever it will be called, regardless of upcoming rumors around that time. As long as it's not done like the Nexus S was. A clone of a phone already out.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeski27:
Well I can definitely agree on you with the Nexus S - I am an N1 owner, from the day of launch, and I have yet to see another new phone on the market since then that can hold a candle to that phone, period. Now that being said, we'll all have to wait and see what the N3 will be all about. If you recall, the Nexus S was rumored to have quite a lot going for it...until it saw the light of day, at which point we were all like, "what?". So clearly the N3 has some really big shoes to fill, and hopefully those developing it realize this completely.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tghockey07:
I've been waiting for a Verizon phone with a dual core and LTE forever now and guess what, it'll probably be outdated when it arrives, maybe I should hold off for a quad-core, kal-el, or maybe a 6-core or just maybe wait 25 years in hopes that phones are so advanced every new one will be just like the others (wont happen). Buy now and use it for a few year and sell it on ebay and pay a couple more dollars to get the next gen.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] texasmojo:
There will always be something newer and faster. And just like our tab, they too will not be perfect.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericc191:
I definitely understand the point you guys are making. But I'm not concerned about having the newest and best. It's about getting something that works well and also satisfies. If I'm dropping 500 dollars, I want to be completely happy with my purchase and I'm not with the 10.1.

The point of a thread and poll like this was to see if anyone else was thinking of doing the same thing as me. That's why we have the poll option.

Don't get so worked up over something on the internet. It causes stress.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asori:
I understand your thought process, but herein lies the problem:

You returned your old PC and upgraded it and I am sure you are extremely pleased with what you have. Now, if you would have kept your i7-950 build you would have also been extremely pleased with it.

With the way hardware technology is advancing, software developers cannot keep up. How many applications do you have that take advantage of the extra speed of that newer generation processor? Heck, how many applications are there that actually take use of anything higher than a dual core processor? Not many - and in your case, there's probably only a handful of applications that will use the newest generation processors to their potential. In all likelihood you don't use these, and even if you do, you only use them extremely rarely.

The same thing is happening in the Tablet field, although to a stronger extent. I actually don't know of any applications that take use of the dual-core processors in newer generation phones and tablets. In fact, Froyo and Gingerbread don't even take use of dual-core processors at the kernel level. Applications being built for mobile devices just aren't likely to be designed with multi-threading in mind.

Keep this in mind when you are deciding to take your tablet back - but I wish you good luck nonetheless.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericc191:
You bring up some good points. I play a lot of PC games and noticed a good amount of difference, but outside of games not much.

And there's is a good chance I could get *screwed* with a quad core tablet that overheats and has horrible battery life. We'll see. :D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Berner:
Why do you think you need to urge people to consider returning their Tabs? We're not children who need to be reminded of our options as consumers. Your ex post facto reinterpretation is nearly as patronizing as your original post.

While I give you credit for acting civil in your posts -- an unusual accomplishment in this genre of threads -- it still appears to me that you're just looking to provoke polarizing responses. Whether the Tab is or isn't a good purchase for someone is matter of personal opinion. No poll or discussion is going to change that.

I'm not trying to be a douche bag or anything remotely close to that. I'm just trying to help out. If I was on the fence about something and saw this thread, it might help me lean one way or the other. In fact, there was another thread asking if people should buy or wait. And acting civil? Too bad it's one sided.

Don't see much wrong with the OP's question. The 10.1 is an excellent tablet in my eyes, it's lack of bulk trumped the Xoom for me, even though i like having an sd-card. I prefer to buy my tablets from Costco if possible just for the 90 day return policy, if i didnt i would currently be stuck with a Xoom. If a tablet debuts within my 90 days that has the features of the 10.1 with an sd-card then i will return my 10.1, its just a matter of choice.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weziebme:
correct me if im wrong but you could sale the tab straight out in a few months for way more than $250 and you can still buy the new stuff..... and you dont have to pay for the buy back program! Not sure how much the program costs or anything about it, just saying!

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zariman:
I got my Tab pretty recently and I was in the same line of thoughts as you. However I gave in when they were having a sale on ebay for 445 dollars. My justification for buying it was

It's going to take almost a year for a manufacturer to package a quad-core Tablet that is slim as the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. I won't be settling for anything thicker.

Just like what one of the members mentioned, not many apps utilize even a dual-core. We'll be in for awhile until developers start coming out with quad-core utilized apps.

Apps that will be using the quad-core are mainly going to be games (exception of photoshop type apps). If I want to play visually stimulating games, I have my computer. My Tab is here for web browsing, watching movies, and other handy apps which my Tab does well currently.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericc191:
You make some good points.. and I did forget to mention how doubtful I am of anything coming out soon that will be as thin or almost as thin as the 10.1. Samsung really nailed it on that and I give them major props for redesigning and doing it so quickly.

As far as faster procs go and them not being utilized, it's not my biggest concern. I'm truly hoping for a HC tablet to come out with the ability to play MANY video formats. I mainly used it to watch animes at work while waiting for patients. I found a few quick video converters, but it was still a hassle.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frenchie746:
Here is my way of thinking. You want to hold out for the first batch of Quad core tablets. First batches "ALWAYS" have bugs/issues.

The GT10.1 is the last in the line of dual core, meaning most of the bugs have been ironed out. Yes HC isn't perfect, but its the been out for a while now and tweaked. ICS is going to have way more bugs than HC when it first comes out. Personally I will enjoy my GT10.1 until the quads have been out for a while and bugs/issues get squashed, and 2nd versions of quad tabs come out.

I will be more than happy to wait 6-12mo for a smoother ICS experience.

Of course I could always be wrong. To each his own i guess..

Just my 2c.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] testulous:
We already enjoy many things that iPad users will never have, like widgets, decent notifications, a decent keyboard, heck.. alternate keyboard even. firefox with adblock :-) and many more. the tab 10.1 is awesome as is.

to even think about upgrading i will have to see a real successor with features i need/want.. not just rumours. and, does anybody think the new tabs will have HDMI out, amoled screen, etc -- all within a two month timeframe???

After waiting months for my tab, getting it, and thoroughly loving it, I humbly request that you add my voice to the chorus of "F-you, OP"
