funny **** lol. seriously doubt they would STOP. selling. they got their ways, tricks, them foxy bastardos...samsung apple HTC or not...they all got their tricks up them sleeves.
[Galaxy S II General] AllGamer:
it wont work, Samsung already have a new way to sell the same phone, meanwhile still keeping the injunction legal, after october

http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2391695,00.asp

LOL :p

seems like Apple is going to go after Samsung again after a few months, to yet again say, "you are cheating" ... lol :D
[Galaxy S II General] Isadora:
No need to panic... All Samsung have to do is change the picture gallery, everything else Apple was whining about got thrown out by the judge

See: http://mobile.osnews.com/story.php/...aningless_Dutch_Court_Victory_Against_Samsung
[Galaxy S II General] nomnompie:
So if I understand this correctly the crap about the "sliding on lockscreen" was thrown out too? Still not sure how you can patent something like a picture "bounce". It's a visual effect imitating physics. But whatever, I won't get started.:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] GIR:
You didn't read the court ruling did you? The Judge DENIED all of Apple's claims except for one and that's the Gallery App. This is a huge defeat for Apple. Samsung can easily copy/paste it's defense to the case in Germany and win that one too.

Anyway back to the case. The court has said in it's ruling that it denies all of Apple's claims except for one. It also acknowledges that the one claim that it did appoint is technically easy to change and has thus given Samsung until October 13th the time to rectify it or the sales ban wil go into affect.

Easy as pie. The only thing Samsung has todo is release a firmware update with a different gallery app and done.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
So pathetic by apple!! If you cant compete directly to a company, jus go to hell!!

Does samsung have any patents that is used by apple?

[Galaxy S II General] GIR:
You probably.. because without the Samsung software, Samsung doesn't have a phone for sale and for you to buy.
[Galaxy S II General] pharaohdk:
as far as other places state it´s only been ruled that samsung must stop distribution from the netherlands
[Galaxy S II General] aydc:
Let's look at the bright side. Maybe they'll finally change that horrible gallery. If I were them, I'd simply buy QuickPic and make that the default gallery for Android and be done with it.

While we're at it, I wish some judge rules that they can't sell this phone anymore until they sort out Android OS bug, home button delay and color banding issues. :)
[Galaxy S II General] RMXO:
Have you tried out various ROMs to get rid of the OS bug. I use to have it but not anymore.
[Galaxy S II General] Tijmen:
It's quite nice to see that after all Apple's effort Samsung only has to change their (already horrible indeed) gallery.

Let's hope they can postpone the real problems untill google has the Motorola patents and that they will help Samsung to make a stand against Apple.
[Galaxy S II General] Poker gypsy:
They through it out of court so don't worry
[Galaxy S II General] chrisjcks:
Big victory from samsung...

Apple tried to sue samsung for lots of 'copying' - yet, apple won nothing.

I hope its cost apple millions to enforce a change of a photo app. LOL (a change that most android users wanted anyway)

The app is a part of google, so its not even a single victory against samsung or their galaxy phones.

Funny **** :)

I'm impartial on this issue anyway. In my opinion, as much as a beast that SGS2 is, Samsung does need to learn how to make software.
[Galaxy S II General] rovex:
Apple software is FAR from flawless.
[Galaxy S II General] Fertilizer:
Sad how apple has to play dirty to compete with android
[Galaxy S II General] chris2busy:
in all fairness..and coming for a long time user or android..

Apple may have limited functionality in their software,but the things that their software,does are as close to perfection as it gets..

We on the other hand have the most power effecient display in the world, the most power effecient processor, 20% larger batteries and we sweat to get 4-5 hours screen on time on a single charge.

but back to the point..i am curious as to how fast they will start pushing this update out, so that they will not have reduced sales on their 3 biggest selling devices..
[Galaxy S II General] rovex:
Contrary to popular belief, iOS and MacOS have many many holes and bugs in need of patching. Slick it might be, flawless code it is not.

hahaha,i love that sketch with Harry Enfield and Ronie Corbet :D brilliant
[Galaxy S II General] bfar:
I have one arguement against that statement -

:mad: iTunes :mad:

Probably the worst, most sloppy piece of software ever inflicted on users. It's been around a while now and it's still annoying, rubbish and often unreliable.

Hardware wise, Apple's stuff is quite tidy, but overpriced. However, my biggest beef with them is the difficulty/inability to replace the batteries on their devices without forking out big $$ charges. In practice it severely shortens the useful life of their products.
[Galaxy S II General] vnvman:
None of my business. I got my phone already and i'll keep it for at least a couple years. Samsung may even fail as a company tomorrow for all i care: when i'll be in need for an upgrade i'll just look around and grab the best android phone on the market, i couldn't care any less about who makes it...

As to the gallery "issue" oh well, i guess i'll still sleep well, there are hundreds of different ones on the market you know.

Omg looks like most users get all mad and scared when something happens to their favorite manifacturer...what are you, samsung/apple/whatever shareholders? Why don't you think about enjoying your phone, instead of fighting over things you shouldn't even care about, being just "users"? Gosh...

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androiderrr:
I think samsung will implement cyanogenmod officially on all galaxy device thats why they have hired stev kondik because implementing android 3.0 is not a bright idea on phone since it is optimized for tablet.Also we have to wait and see wether ice cream sandwich solve this problem.1 more probability is that samsung implement pure android UI just like nexus s.

As far as apple is concerned,everbody know that they are capable of of nothing other than blocking their competition.Fu** apple and steve job,he is going to die soon
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oswade:
Updated my first post as Samfirmware retracted their original statement (Miscommunication?)

Seems like Samsung wins!!! Except they have to remove the gallery app from their devices ?? (but who cares! :D)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlackDino:
They will not be implementing cm7, and the thing about 3.0 was about the galaxy tab.

Since the phones are banned they will need to change the software based on the infringing patents and go back to court with the latest models which could take months even years.

Sadly samsung will probably have to just make a new galaxy s 2 under a new name to continue sales

edit: ffs.. this is constantly changing, I retract my latest comment.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mathijs727:
First of all: **** apple with there ******* **** devices that are locked up like there Joran van der Sloot, WTF!

I'm never gonna buy any device from them again, i have a iTouch (2g) and its locked up as hell, and if i want to jailbreak the thing gets even slower then it already is.

I hope that when they remove the gallery they'll state that it's available on the market for free (gallery 3d, I think).

I'm dont think they'll change it with the SGS, they'll probably just stop selling them as the sales are low and they have the SGS plus.

I'm living in the Netherlands and I was thinking that the court here would be better then in the US.

But i'm having my doubts about that.

All the android devices have a gallery where you have to swipe to see the next picture, why is Apple riping samsung and not Google (there scared of google?)

Screen shot of battery stats attached.

[Acer Iconia A500] bpivk:
Lol. Nice graph. Your tablet probably just had a little brain fart. :)

I had a similar problem once and it went away after a reboot. I still don't know what caused it. You should check for rogue apps if it reoccurs but it could just be a one time occurrence.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haggisuk:
HI Folks,

Most of you will be aware of the Samsung Dive account where one can track the location of the phone and remote wipe it etc.

I am aware of other apps on the market that replicate some of theses features but haven't found one that allows the finder of the phone means to contact the owner to return it.

What I would like is the lock screen to have a "phone owner" facility as well as the emergency call button.

I like to have the phone locked to prevent unauthorised use should it go missing but its doesn't help an honest person who might find the phone to return it.

Anyone seen an app that has this function?

Or make an app to do it, I would pay for an app that could do it.

Thanks

Del
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haggisuk:
Bump..Anyone?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrkitching:
Why not try using a 'low-tech' solution & putting your contact details on a sticky label on the back - or a note between the phone and case. Remember your phone might be found by an old dear who doesn't even know how to turn it on!

Come to think of it, you could also use an invisible marker to write your house number & postcode under the battery (and on the battery) - this is one of the first things the police will look for if they recover your phone, or come across someone with it in their possession in 'suspicious circumstances'.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haggisuk:
Well that made me smile, yes a perfectly good solution to the problem, and i will be doing that as it would still work even if the battery was dead :)

Would still like the over engineered solution too if its available or if anyone is making a security app for the phone to incorporate it as a feature.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bruflot:
The app called "Android Lost" lets you place a note saying whatever you want it to. You can also trace it with GPS, set an alarm etc.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haggisuk:
That's a great app, can't believe its free.

Tested it out and it works a treat.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunseaker:
I just bought a Sandisk 32GB micro SDHC card from Gizzmoheaven on Amazon (£35.67) and want to verify if it's genuine. The reason I'm not 100% is that the card arrived in a clear square plastic case without any other packaging. The details on the card all seem to match up with a genuine card though from photos I've seen googling around, i.e. all the correct text and logos on the front and dimples on the back.

My empty card shows up as 29.71GB total space available. Does that right? I know not to expect 32GB but want to know if others are getting the same.

This is what my card looks like
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
That size is absolutely normal. Card seems pretty OK too. Start using it, you will gradually know if it's original or not ;)

Regards.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demon_man:
So for every GB you lose ~74MB i think this is about right, so yeah looks about the right amount of space left on the card
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghost77:
I also have that exact SanDisk had it for a year capacity is correct , but it can also depend on manufacturer ,

for example i got new ADATA 32GB Class 10 , its very fast and one extra bonus is has more space then others 30.91GB vs 29.71GB .
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunseaker:
Thanks guys. I feel a little more easy now.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiFE1688:
Hardware size and software size are different.

32GB

Software:

32GB = 32*1024*1024*1024 = 34,359,738,368 bytes

Hardware:

32GB = 32 * 1000 * 1000 * 1000 = 32,000,000,000

Converted back to software,

32,000,000,000 / 1024^3 = 29.80GB

Don't forget about clustering and the space used for Partition Table and File Allocation Table.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunseaker:
Just an update.

I've received a reply from Sandisk and they have verified that my card is genuine. Mind at rest now.

http://www.samfirmware.com/apps/blog/show/8211353-breaking-news-apple-wins-samsung-lost-

I wonder what this means for SGS2's future in the U.S.?

What are the reasons:

EP 2.058.868 (Scrolling gallery)

EP 2.098.948 (Picking UP the phone.)

EP 1.964.022 (Lock screen)

Patent system needs a complete redo.

All in all, turned out to be a win for Samsung.

[EVO 4G General] m20120:
Glad I don't live in the Netherlands.
[EVO 4G General] drae52:
Actually the engadget article may have it wrong, scrolling through the comments there are a number of dutch speaking posters who claim the only patent infringed is the one for scrolling.

This actually appears like a big win for sammy as they have tossed the other two patents.

Further it is apparent the "look and feel" issue was thrown out.

http://fosspatents.blogspot.com/

Big hit for android tho, as that gallery app is shipped on most android devices with the exception of sense and the SE gallery iirc.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
I was quoting the samfirmware website for the three patents.
[EVO 4G General] Undead46:
The Galaxy Tab wasn't banned, so Apple loses...
[EVO 4G General] Gusar321:
This is a non-victory for Apple. The patent only affects the gallery. Samsung has already stated that they'll simply replace the Gallery app with another one. Sales won't be interrupted one bit. The two other patents as well as the design stuff was thrown out.

The patent is of course ridiculous, but that's nothing new in the world of software patents.

Too bad I don't understand Dutch to read the court order: http://ieforum.nl/backoffice/upload...1-730, KG ZA 11-731 (Apple tegen Samsung).pdf (yes, that's a valid link)

It is not..

http://www.neowin.net/news/millennial-android-usage-on-the-rise-ios-continues-to-fall
[EVO 4G General] detusueno:
you fail at interpreting. iOS and Android both have seen growth, Android has grown more and has taken more total share from new users but both HAVE grown including iOS. the real world difference is that apple kills all other oems and makes a heck of a lot more profit than any of them. htc doesn't give a damn about samsung, they are competitors just as much apple is.
[EVO 4G General] atypical1:
From a practical standpoint I think it simply means that Samsumg would pay royalties to Apple for all the instances of patent infringement as opposed to actually banning a device.

It's actually really smart for Apple to do this simply because it means more revenue for them.

james
[EVO 4G General] Gusar321:
Ah, the nowadays typical "Apple makes more profits!!" line. So cliched.

Yeah, they have high profit margins. So? That doesn't change the fact that they're losing market share. And they're damn afraid of it. Ok, that last one is not exactly a fact, but it is a very reasonable assumption. They're also total hypocrites and that one is a fact.

Another fact is that this is actually a loss for Apple. Their community designs have been invalidated. The judge said that one of their patents (the unlock swipe) will be invalidated too.

@atypical1: No, Apple is not out for cross-licensing. They really *do* want a ban. But they're not getting it, because the one patent that was upheld can easily be circumvented and won't affect Samsung sales at all.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Apple has higher profit margins because they have convinced their followers that they are getting 'more' for a laptop that costs $1200 but should be $700.

Also, the confirmation that the iPhone 5 is going to be on Sprint and the idea that there may soon be a "cheaper iPhone"...combined with the literally new lawsuit every hour...seems to show how scared they really are.

[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
Name a consumer laptop that is as good as a 15"+ Macbook Pro in design, build quality, support, and performance. Over the last 2 months I returned FOUR (DV6T, XPS 15Z, XPS 17, Envy 17 3D) laptops that are supposed to be some of the best consumer PC laptops at a reasonable price range, and none of them hold a candle to the balance of the Macbook Pro. I paid an average of $1200-$1500 for each of them, they had about equal specs but at the end of the day the $2200-$2400 17" Macbook Pro I'm ordering just offers more.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
"design" -- personal preference / opinion

"build quality" -- Meh. I know a person who's Macbook screen failed on her[I mentioned that before, I don't know a lot of people with Macbooks]. I've never had a "build quality" issue with any laptop I've ever used. Acer, Dell, Gateway, or Toshiba.

"support" -- ?

"performance" -- Never had any issues with performance with the Acer laptop I use. However, I know multiple people who's iMacs were complete garbage.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
I like the part where you didn't name a single laptop. I spent 2-3 months looking for a Macbook Pro equal and there is none. The closest ones were workstations and for that price you might as well pay for the better design with the Macbook Pro.
[LG Optimus 2x] FBlablabla:
Hi there,

this will sound a bit angry, but where are the optimisations promised by supercurio months after releasing his Voodoo Sound adaptation ?

I never expected my O2X to become a Cowon J3 for sure, but I bought the control plus app long enough ago and found myself with a "glorified amp" which brings nothing quality-wise, if a fine volume tuning.

I'd expect from a respectable dev. who sells & make money with his app to finish what he started before jumping onto some other obscure project... that sounds more ethical to me. Right now I feel like I'm dumb to have purchased his app, which in my opinion still doesn't deliver what anyone would expect from it, as announced.

At least, I'd like to know if anybody has proof that supercurio hasn't just dropped this project ? In that case, it'd be falses promises & nearly robbery...

Well all I can do is waiting in anger, I hate being taken for a fool...:mad:

(sorry for the lack of nuance in my post, I lack the english skill to properly depict how I feel about this...)
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
Read his twitter. He's working on a different project right now, and more O2x/G2x improvements will come straight after that
[LG Optimus 2x] smokeweedevery:
you could try ask him instead of, just write an angry message in here, that will not help you so much
[LG Optimus 2x] FBlablabla:
I think I was also speaking in the name of ALL the people who bought his app. I'm pretty confident I'm not the only one who feels this way. By analogy, just think of your O2X bought with the promise of a fast Gingerbread update. Is it there ? Are you happy about this ? Well it's all the same to me.

The lesson is, only trust the ones who deliver what they announce.

P.S : Been fooled twice with my two last phones, first Samsung with Omnia I8910 - case closed, I didn't even consider buying the SGS2 after this chapter; now LG... this can't be accepted.
