Hollywood should sue Apple for copying them. Back in 1969 there was a device that looks very similar to the Ipad today. It was called the PADD.. A prop used on a TV show called Star Trek...
[Galaxy S II General] Mujja:
If we are not allowed to discuss the SGS2 then it should be in the Tab forum.

I thought it was posted here because Apple have also been making noises about the Galaxy phones and this thread was to discuss what might follow.
[Galaxy S II General] asgard:
I can't buy a Tab 10.1 in Australia, Apple Australia have a court order disallowing the sale. They have even asked the court to demand Samsung deliver all the units to their HQ here for destruction.

This is the kind of monopoly BS you end up with when you empower an immoral animal like Steve Jobs with nearly $80billion USD cash on hand - frivolous market hampering lawsuits and "cease and desists".

Can't wait to watch their share price dive from fickle investors selling up when Steve Jobs passes on from that "disease" he has, the name of which I will let others speculate on...
[Galaxy S II General] troed:
I abstained from Apple products since back in 1985 just by "belly-feeling".:(

Got an Ipad 1 as a present 1 year ago and after some days of playing around put it aside as useless and crap (the softkeyboard alone is a joke and unuseable).:mad:

Now THIS ...................:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

F... Y.. Apple, I will get my SGTab somewhere .................
[Galaxy S II General] THUDUK:
One day we will all have silver apples embossed into the back of our necks, we will be scanned everywhere we go, we will drive from a to b in A-class Apple cars, watch Apple Tv, go for a run in apple trainers, but there will be a few rag tag fugitives who dress up in android outfits and run about throwing apples at apple stores and apple banks.
[Galaxy S II General] SndChsr:
I think Boeing should sue Airbus because:

-Long tubular cabin

-Wings attached on both sides of the said cabin

-Wheels mounted underneath the main body

-As in our Boeing, wheels retract during flight

-Round engines mounted under the wings

-Makes a cool sound on take off much like our Boeings

blah blah blah....

This is why I'll never own an apple product. Absolutely despise that company.

Apple behaving like a cry-baby! Lost goodwill

Apple's so called business move of hampering the sale of Samsung products (SGS II & Galaxy Tab) is going to prove counter productive for it. It has not only lost goodwill of its erstwhile loyal customers, it will also create business problems for itself by this malicious campaign agains Samsung. Apple should not forget that it depends on Samsung for a large number of parts required to make their iPhones & iPads. A large number of the buyers of technology products like the products manufactured by Samsung & Apple are upset by Apple's foolish strategy of trying to stifle the growth of technology. Instead of wasting its time in filing frivolous lawsuits against its competitors, Apple should be spending that time & money to focus on developing new products. Shame on Apple & Steve Jobs!
[Galaxy S II General] adder101:
Are you for real? You haven't got clue have you. People are disgusted at apple for trying to stop a rival because they can't compete with innovation so they make up crap and sue over a product that has no similarity other than being rectangle shape. At the same time they have stolen other peoples ideas.

Linux is totally different to ios yet that too seems to be not acceptable to apple either. So if too many people hate apple then they have themselves to blame and not XDA's fault.

It's just not xda but everywhere else too, even apple fans are not happy and many are now going to boycott the apple all together. And we all should do the same, because at the end of day we the consumers will pay more. Samsung and google will simply add that on the price.

Tempting. I'm not sure if the tab is the tablet I was waiting for though, my crappy folio 100 is still hanging in as just usable, so I might wait a little longer and see if anything new pops up. (and the folio wins over iPad I for me, I have both)
[Galaxy S II General] redzion:
Slovenia. No problem to buy Samsung SGS2 or Tab 10.1, here is problem to buy Apple becouse people are smarter then average US customer (sorry for that).. iPhone 4 here cost 400 €, SGS2 cost 457 €, but everybody knows that you can't compare "half eaten apple" products with Samsung...

Actually, looks like Apple got Samsung banned based on design sketches. Just when you thought patent regulations were retarded, here's the design sketches regulations which are the most retarded.

Apple suck, im not surprised they are getting worried though, Android is completely booming in sales and apple are realising they dont actually make much stuff themselfs!

Ipad should be scrapped, they copied it!

How to restore hubs on sgs2 after root need readers hub zip for flash woth cwm
[General Questions and Answers] Tych0n:
Hey, listen! ;)

Sadly, my old Xperia X1 is nearing the end of it's journey. Most of the physical keys are nearly broken (I got to push them extra hard for them to work), the case is cracked in several places, there are deep scratches and what appears to be super glue on the screen, the power/data I/O hole as well as the headphone hole have gone loose, it's got a nasty case of the SODs and the battery is almost dead (8 hours max on minimal use). It seems it's time to get a new phone. Oh, the excitement! :D

The thing is, I've seriously fallen behind on the smartphone news and have next to no idea about the new phones in the market. And there are lots and lots of them...

So, how about I give you a list of what I use the phone for, what I'm used to, what I prefer and what I need and you kind gentlemen help this poor sod get himself a new phone!

What I use the phone for, in descending importance (the app I've been using so far in brackets):

Calling/texting

Alarm clock (G-Alarm)

Internet browsing (Opera Mobile)

GPS (Google Maps)

Facebook

MP3 player (Nitrogen)

Taking notes (OneNote Mobile)

YouTube

Remote desktop (RealVNC)

Watching movies and playing games on trips

What I'm used to (that is, not mandatory):

Windows Mobile

HTC Sense

What I prefer or would want (that is, a huge bonus if the feature is, well, featured):

Resistive over capacitive touchscreen

Hardware media keys (or hardware keys programmable to media keys)

Facebook integration (downloading profile pictures for contacts pictures etc.)

What I need:

Faster than Xperia X1

Better battery life than Xperia X1 (not difficult...)

Slider QWERTY-keyboard

3,5mm headphone jack

Inbuilt GPS

Any and all help is highly appreciated!

Xperia x10/arc/neo/ray these are awesome i like the most ray because its reallly good looking !
[General Questions and Answers] aszid:
My list of demands for a phone is close to what yours is :)

Currently I have an xperia x10 mini pro, which excels at almost all of those things.. but battery life has a bit to be desired. The one i have is the older model, the new one just came out (they dropped the x10, so it's the xperia mini pro).

I've also been eying the "xperia pro" which is not even out yet... but i think i may have found my next phone :eek:
[General Questions and Answers] petulikt:
Galaxy S is good choice
[General Questions and Answers] Tych0n:
Thanks for your replies, guys, but sadly none of your suggestions has a physical keyboard. Apart from the X10 Mini Pro, but it doesn't really feel like a significant upgrade compared to the X1.

Can anyone with a HTC Desire Z tell me about it's drawbacks?

You should ask him what specifically is offensive about your username.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
Maybe he's lactose intolerant
[Motorola Photon 4G] Bandage:
LOL...good reading here. Couple things to point out, and please don't take offense Juggies.

1. Use a different Screen Name in these situations, you'll never be taken seriously. It SHOULDN'T matter, but it DOES. A corporate representative will immediately flag a name like yours

in their mind

as immature and ignorant. Good luck entering an intelligent or productive conversation in such a scenario.

Yes, there's no need to argue that it SHOULDN'T be that way. Agreed. However, that's the way the rest of the world responds.

2. Telling a company that has designed something over countless months, pouring their resources into it fully, that it sucks and you could do it better isn't a great way to start a mutual progression of solution. LOL. Imagine if I flashed one of your ROMs, then posted in the ROM thread that you were retarded and should just let me take it over. Heh...I imagine one of us would end up getting an XDA time-out.

I've always gone with the build em up, then tear em down kind of argument in my dealings with these kind of scenarios. "Totally loving this device, you guys really nailed the design and performance. I've noticed however, as well as numerous others, some serious issues. Mind if we dig into it and see what can't be done? I'm pretty knowledgeable, perhaps I can help by pointing out some scenarios to look at?"

3. The Boot Loader unlock. I have sent my share of prodding on this issue. Repeatedly. I have pointed out to Motorola that all their competitors are way ahead of them in this regard. HTC, Sammy, etc have already done so...or are showing proof of progress. I've gotten 2 e-mails so far in reply, stating the difficulty and length of said project...blah blah blah. Meh...whatevs.

Anywho...just my thoughts. Anyone have Sanjay Jha's email addy? We could nuke his inbox...beats the hell outta talkin with some guy on some forum that doesn't know his Moto from his Rola.

[Motorola Photon 4G] ScandaLeX:
I tried to read that entire thread but scrolling left/right became a chore & I wasn't 1/2 way thru it. Going on forums like that; esp tech doesn't always produce the desired end result. You're talking to a bunch of people who don't want to admit something is terribly wrong.

I did LMAO at Matt who actually seemed to take offense at your response; as though you accused him of saying something he didn't say. I clearly read, "No need to exchange your phone for the audio issue. Just reboot your phone."....Seriously???

On another note~ I don't know how long you've been using your current screen name. If its associated with ANY development you've ever done, I wouldn't change it. Maybe Mr. Mod needs to Google you and get a clue.... IJS...
[Motorola Photon 4G] Djspinister:
Yea juggs I see you a lot on here and noticed that thread by chance. F*ck those guys over there, they have no clue. Especially that email or pm you got. I would have let him have it.

Motorola Victim Forums

They are a bunch of *****es. I didn't even get the PM, I just got suspended. I had a problem with audio, notifications, camera not working, etc. and had been going back and forth for months. Finally, I got sick of them beating around the bush, trying to put blame on me because I did this or that. So because I paid several hundred dollars for a pile that doesn't work half the time, I got a little aggressive. I admit. But I don't know if I will ever get access to my account again, but if I do, I am going to let him have it. (It was also Matt, who didn't even have the balls to PM me, like I said.)

[Samsung Infuse 4G] iOSlulz:
Is there a way to keep backlight on for the buttons at bottom?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gbrown2036:
"Keep the Lights On" by Guardian Bob in the Market. Requires root.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MisterEdF:
KTLO does NOT work on the Infused despite what others say. It might work for a few minutes after initial install but then it gets all messed up. Try using it for an extended period.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MisterEdF:
I sure wish there was. The current design is stupid. I have an open offer of $50 for a DEV who would make an app that will function in Froyo and GB on the Infuse to do just that. If anyone is interested let me know.

Maybe they can reverse engineer "Keep the light On?" I was in touch with the DEV of KTLO and since he doesn't have a Infuse he said he can't do it. He also confirmed that KTLO is not compatible with the Infuse. I have it installed and sometimes it works for a few minutes then eventually it doesn't.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] iOSlulz:
at least i am not the only one who think design is awful....why would the backlight turn off after like 5secs of not touching the screen? ugh
[Samsung Infuse 4G] leedashone:
Agree!

Agree! the button lights tune off too fast.

I can't access the button in dark place. really stupid design.

I tryed the "Keep button lights on",, not work on Infuse.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] leedashone:
Ok, my mistake. The "Keep button lights on" works fine on Infuse.

We must use it as desktop widget, then we can turn on/off the button

lights via touch the desktop icon.

Good luck!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MisterEdF:
You'll find that after using it for a little while it will cease to function. It is not compatible with the Infuse. Sometimes it will keep the lights on, sometimes it works in reverse, sometimes it keeps the lights OFF. It does not work properly (even with the widget). If you use the widget each time you want the lights on it will sometimes work until they go off. It's supposed to leave the lights on anytime the screen is on without further intervention. It doesn't. The widget is only supposed to enable or disable it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rockburn:
In some (this XDA Premium app being one of them), but not all apps, I've noticed that the lights will come back on by touching the screen.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] leedashone:
I try this app few days, I think it's work, the logic is:

1.Install:

Install it, put on desktop, turn on, remove it from desktop

2.Work:

The button lights will not automatic turn on while screen on.

but, once you touch any button, the button's back light will keep on

until the LCD off.

not perfect, but not too bad.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Would likely need kernel support - the current behavior doesn't bother me so it's a pretty low priority.

There's also the fact that messing around in the driver for the bottom buttons is a great way to create an unstable device. (As evidenced by the pain and suffering of those testing BLN implementations.)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MisterEdF:
BLN is mucking around with a lot more than just turning on the backlight. It's dealing with system notifications for various events. I'm obviously not a developer/programmer in any sense of the word but just "turning on the lights" when you enter the room should be a LOT less intrusive then making them react differently to each different shirt color of the person walking in. There is already an app that works on most other Galaxy S devices so I would guess it's something that shouldn't be terribly hard just to turn on the lights when you walk into the room and turn them off when you leave. :)

Again .... I don't pretend to know what is involved, just "guessing."
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MisterEdF:
You will find that eventually that will get all messed up as well.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Touching ANYTHING in the backlight code of that driver can do weird stuff... Lots of potential for race conditions.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StevebigO:
Hi all, :)

having rooted, s-off'd, partitioned and nanroid back-up'd i installed RCmix S,

loving the new rom but keep seeing all the others available, i'd love to check out some more so my question is;

Is it okay to keep deleting/restoring the handset just a few times?

is it as simple as wiping cache, dalvic etc and then dowloading the new rom and starting the sequence again?

Also i only have a 4gb card and partitioned 1000mb, is it advisable to upgrade the sd bigger and or up the class, i know the RCmix s is quite a large rom (299mb i think) i'm only left with 100mb int memory, even after moving Dalvic to sd with mcr scripts,

i am a noob so please correct me if i'm wrong, i would be gratefull of any advise, i'm loving the feel of the new freedom, and love this site, well done dev's :D:D

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4rm45:
-If you take a nandroid backup you can do almost anything with your phone. If something goes wrong just restore nandroid and you'll be safe.

-It's that simple. Do a nandroid, wipe userdata, wipe dalvik and then flash rom.

-Even 2GB sdcard is enough if you just don't have much more data in it.

1GB ext3-partition should work with almost all roms (except D2EXT/D2WE/D2SD)
