Sorry but if out wasn't for microsoft, apple would have died back in the late 90s. Yes the ipod saved apple as well but it was due you microsoft that funded it. I also have little respect for steve sure to the way apple has tried to screw over another company that kept apple afloat: macromedia, specifically, Flash. Photoshop et al were also major reasons apple has survived. What does apple do? Tries to kill flash for apple's own profiteering from the app store. In sort, he's a two-faced ****. Also, now, apple it's using bully tactics in an attempt to stave off competition. Heck, most companies with would've cash would have bought them out. I'm sure even apple doesn't have the weight to buy samsung but they'll try and suffocate them instead. Pathetic. Hope he has a painful death.

Steve Jobs and his beloved iPhone is the reason why smartphone became 'smartphones'. I love and hate the iPhone for what it is. I'm a gadgets junkie and will definitely still get the iPhone 5,6,7...and of course my Android phones
[Galaxy S II General] asgard:
It's ok Apple fans, at least there's another ankle grabber in charge, the legacy is safe.
[Galaxy S II General] ronni.rasmussen:
Only problem i have with Steve is that i think he's a hypocrite who turned into what he used to be against. I actually see Apple even worse than what MS and IBM has ever been.

He is brilliant no doubt, but i lost a lot of respect for him after he started to show his real face.

Steve Jobs to Apple ---- iResign ;)

Not my line. Credit to original commenter.
[Galaxy S II General] 0semaj0:
Android wouldnt be this good today if it wasnt for Apple.
[Galaxy S II General] phonex1:
I think Steve took a u-turn when it came to mobile devices. I love OS X and it is not restricted in any way. But once you grab an iOS device the limitations on what you can and can't do are mind boggling. I don't know what got into their minds but the iOS devs. suck for doing that.

He was the champion of freedom and then his company started producing locked-up products. I respect him still and think maybe he wasn't calling all the shots w.r.t the software development and I have a feeling the current management will definitely keep things the same. Despite the fanboys getting happy about him stepping down nothing will change which is sad because I really do admire apple products (non-mobile). I just hope they don't end up turning OS X into complete iOS copy. Nothing is impossible from those wacko developers.
[Galaxy S II General] Gustopher:
Utter nonsense. There were smartphones around long before the iPhone and if there never had been an iPhone, we still would have something close to what we have today - it's called the march of technology.

There is no Steve Jobs for TVs yet we're not all still watching clunky 28" CRTs. There was a Steve Jobs for PCs yet most of the world is still using PCs ahead of Macs.

He's not the messiah, he's just a very naughty boy.
[Galaxy S II General] Croak:
Is he dead yet? No? Call me when he is, then I'll laud him properly.

People are going to look back in 50 years and see what damage he and Apple really did to the tech industry. Maybe sooner, but the RDF has a long half-life.
[Galaxy S II General] m2smoe:
Thank you. It's about time people realize this. Steve Jobs did not bring anything new to the market, and things certainly wouldn't be any different technology-advancement wise if Apple never existed.
[Galaxy S II General] htcplussony:
Nokia is suppose to have ripped up years of phone road maps because of the iphone.

I believe the large screen multi touch swiping ui with real a browser type of devices would have come much later if it wasn't for it.
[Galaxy S II General] xakarix84:
Its good to watch back the old intro of original iphone, and then look how the way device on your hand now work, then think what you have before it.

Its not about megapixel, mms, video camera, icons, touchable screen, fancy hardware specs, but what the iphone changed is the logic of smartphone.
[Galaxy S II General] LBTaylor1984:
We've gone from Windows Mobile and Symbian to iOS, to Windows phone and Android. I acknowledge that Apple kicked off this phone revolution and we have the likes of the Galaxy S2, but there closed system and Steve Jobs flippant comment about not needing Flash totally pissed me off. I like the iPhone 3/4 but since he's so arrogant about the future and telling me what I want, i'm glad to see him go.

Perhaps someone a little more open minded might actually make Apple better than jobs did, however i'm highly doubtful. IF anything I think he probably held back innovation and development by his bias views about things like Flash and other aspects of tech.

And as for mugging people every 12 months with the new iphone or ipad adding all the things that should have been there in the first place, not impressed by this. possibly a good business model, but terrible for geeks :P
[Galaxy S II General] jonny68:
Steve Jobs again who cares, it's my Grandads 90th birthday birthday tomorrow and i can guarantee he has done a whole lot more in his life worthy of talking about.

Again folks this needs to be moved to off topic forum, Apple threads or anything relating to them belong either in the dedicated iPhone forum or off topic, keep this for the GS2/Android only.
[Galaxy S II General] Beefheart:
Apple, the masters of taking other company ideas and passing them off as their own. They made the first MP3 player didn't you know?

Still, Jobs deserves credit for maintaining and increasing this falsehood thanks to masterful PR and more than a little brainwashing. And also credit where credit is due, their hardware is brilliantly made.
[Galaxy S II General] m2smoe:
But they're not the ones making the hardware. LOL.
[Galaxy S II General] Beefheart:
Irrelevant, they choose who make it and budget accordingly. They could make the hardware to a lesser standard but choose not to.
[Galaxy S II General] m2smoe:
That whole comment is irrelevant, considering the price you pay for the hardware you get, your money is wasted on ANY Apple product compared to its competition. If you really think the hardware you get for the money you pay for an Apple product is good, I'm sorry, but you do not have any idea what you're talking about ;)

While Apple products' hardware is good, if you buy a similarly priced product, it will generally have much better hardware (as we can see with the Galaxy S2 vs iphone4, even though the iphone4 is still 200e more expensive here).

Look up any laptop, any desktop, any mp3 player, any mobile phone, and compare hardware to a similarly priced non-Apple product. Apple's hardware will lose everytime. And don't bother trying to argue the contrary without proof, which you won't find, because it doesn't exist :) People who buy Apple products are of two kinds:

1) People who are computer-stupid and need an easy, instinctual product.

2) Suckers.
[Galaxy S II General] Beefheart:
Sorry to tell you this but due to my profession I know exactly what I'm talking about. Apple products are overpriced, well done. By about 30% too, and even more so if we're talking computers as, for example, you can get a higher specced PC laptop for half the price of a MacBook. However, their brand is now so well known they could choose to cut corners and save money on manufacturing if they wanted to BUT don't. And believe me, that is a deliberate decision. The upshot? Their hardware is very well made and if looked after lasts for years. Do I care? Not really. Do I own any Apple equipment? No, I don't particularly like them as a brand and think their products are overpriced as explained above. But do I recognise the hardware is well made regardless of cost and realise Apple are responsible for that? Yes, and you should too.

EDIT -- and in relation to your edit, next time, work out what someone is saying before making assumptions about them being an Apple fanboy when they're not.
[Galaxy S II General] GrandLX:
Apple only produces what "simple" people want - products that work. Personally I prefer my SGS2 instead of an iphone, but i have to admit having an ipad, which is comfortable to use for my wife (not so....how should i say...technically gifted)

So from me another "Good Job Mr. Jobs"
[Galaxy S II General] m2smoe:
That's nice, but I also happen to work in this field, and your whole argument is still irrelevant. Sure, Apple has decent hardware, but any similarly priced (heck, any product half the price) also has decent hardware. So in retrospect, for the money you put into it, you cannot say Apple hardware is decent. Yes, they could cut corners, but the only reason they decide not to is to keep their products STABLE, which is really the only reason anyone buys Apple to begin with, so it's not really a choice they make for anything other than retaining their current customer base. It has absolutely nothing to do with them trying to achieve some kind of higher standard, as you're making it sound.
[Galaxy S II General] luminus:
Thats my fear too, i'm using a Mac and Macbook and very happy with it. Some posts ago one said its slow etc.. I made switch from Win. PC to Mac and since then i never looked back. No problems at all and way smoother and faster.

The merits that Jobs or Apple deserves is not in the mobile division but in the Pc division ( mac pro's, iMac and macbooks).

Hopefully like you said, i don't hope they change Mac OS into The iOs thing.

When you look at Lion our nightmare comes true.
[Galaxy S II General] Beefheart:
Except it isn't irrelevant, in your haste to reply you again clearly haven't read what I'm saying properly.

Anyway, I have better things to do than go over it again.
[Galaxy S II General] m2smoe:
I read you just fine, and you having better things to do just goes to show I hit a sore spot.

Nothing worse than an apple fanboy that acts like he isn't. :rolleyes:

[Galaxy S II General] Furbious:
I think some of you are too harsh, and some too lenient. He was a shrewd business person who had great timing in delivering the iphone, and caused some ripples in the smartphone world to get everyone to up their game. The only thing new was the consistent and controlled platform, and the benefits are just as good/bad as the drawbacks of inflexibility.

I'll not be buying any apple hardware any time soon due to the contemptible patent trolling they are currently performing, and hope that a new person at the helm will change this strategy. I don't think they realise how bad their reputation is being effected by being such hypocrites, and how it really is driving people to android along with their excessive price tags.

I mean, come on - you really want to try and sue someone for having a black rectangle that is the same as your black rectangle? Almost like someone lost a huge chunk of common sense and actually wants apple to squander that large pile of capital they have.
[Galaxy S II General] ChongoDroid:
IPod, iPhone, ipad were all pretty much first of their kind in a marketable sense... tablets have been around for a long time but no one used them until the ipad came out. I remember seeing the iPod and looking down at my crappy discman and being like daaamn.

I had an iPhone 3gs and as soon as I ran out of different ways to organize my icons I jailbroke it, as soon as I ran through all the crappy springboard tweaks I got a milestone that didn't even have the right 3g frequencies and soon found out the development was very limited; that's when I got the nexus one and then more recently the atrix, xoom, and now sgs2. Just because ford had the first car doesn't mean you'll catch me in a focus nowadays.

Steve jobs, bill gates, and Andy Rubin all had/have more skill/success in their little pinky then your grandpa did in all of his 90 years on this planet.. happy birthday.

Yep, kept my Nokia N95 till last year, was a way better phone than an ip3 in my opinion, great photos which only finally the sgs2 has caught up with (was a bit disappointed with the camera quality of the sgs1 and the Moto cliq/dext was the most pathetic piece of junk out).

My friends with IPhones were wondering why I had the Nokia clunker for so long, but it did everything (albeit on a tiny screen and the browser would run out of puff on many pages).

[Galaxy S II General] bruflot:
Tell me, why?
[Galaxy S II General] pukemon:
Because he has been put on a pedestal bigger than what it should be. Yes the iphone brought a good ui that helped changed smartphones but he really didnt bring much more than what was already out there. I could rant in several directions but I am really passionate about is why does apple keep using proprietary connections? Everything keeps moving to a universal standard and then you have apple continuing the imperialistic legacy that the states need to let go of. Blah. And marketing. Many apple users are tools. Not all, that's fine if they actually like what apple brings but the people who shove their apple products in other peoples faces, boast about quantity of apps and see any other technology that doesn't have an apple branded on it as inferior just boggles my mind as to how you let yourself be a straight up tool. For what?

I voided my warranty and your mum.
[Galaxy S II General] Baronik:
Well, I like Steve, his charisma, his visionary, his attention to details and passion, that drives him to make everything perfect. Surely, perfect according to his visions, but ultimatelly, revolutionary for the entire industry - iPhone and iPad premieres were breakthroughs for the industry and You can't discuss with that. Hopefully he will be fully healed, because his last photos was kinda scary...
[Galaxy S II General] m2smoe:
But you realize you're talking like you personally know the guy? That's utterly ridiculous. His charisma? His passion? Are you talking about a baseball pitcher???
[Galaxy S II General] Baronik:
I don't have to know someone personally to judge his behavior - I've read 2 books about Apple and SJ, seen most of his keynotes. It's enough to judge someones charisma and passion, for me at least...

[Galaxy S II General] yooyo3d:
This discussion about Apple vs Android and about Apples inventions is on almost all forums on the Internet. Same stories everywhere.

In my opinion, iDevices have great hardware, even iOS is not bad at all (running native apps), but Apple rules, constraints, and their walled garden looks so bad that ruin all good things about their products. I thought, over the time, Apple will relax some constraints because raise of Android, but they did opposite. They add more and more constraints.

Two months ago I replace my 3Gs with Android (SGS2) and I'll never ever buy any Apple products.

I ve been able to update all the way to 7712 want to get to 7720 when I run the provision tool or RCToRTM i get the following error message any help please.

Samsung Focus

UpdateWP version 4.7.1404

Error: The installed version of the tool (4.7.1404) needs to be updated to match the Zune version (4.8.2345). Please install the tool version 4.8.2345.
[Focus General] TriAxisFL:
In order for this to work, your "Windows Phone Engineering Flashing Tool" version needs to match your Zune version exactly. It appears you are using the new Official Zune 4.8.2345.

When I performed this update I used a Flashing Tool version 4.8.2134, and I had a beta Zune that was also 4.8.2134. I would uninstall both programs and in the RCToRTM file their should be a Zune Beta and Flashing Tool installer. Install both of these and go to the ADD/REMOVE programs and verify that the versions match. If needed right-click on the ADD/REMOVE programs header and highlight the "Version" column if its not already viewable.
[HTC EVO 3D] Mega-Japan:
I've been using SetCPU for a while now, but I recently rooted my EVO 3D and drop the app in there. I touched nothing but add a single profile, which is:

Screen Off: Priority 100 192Max/192Min

For the sake of battery life. But it seems that at times the phone instead gets really hot and suddenly the entire batter drains in like half an hour... What gives? At other times, it does work like it should and it can last a day+, but the former worries me. Tips and stuff? kthx.
[HTC EVO 3D] spectralblue:
Recalibrate your battery?
[HTC EVO 3D] ifly4vamerica:
Sounds like you have a rogue app running the battery down, try juice defender or system panel to track down what is causing the drain. If you think it is SetCPU (which I doubt but possible) just freeze that with Titanium backup. Or you can disable the profile and see if that fixes it also. I wouldn't recommend going with 192/192 you may want to bump it up to 192/382, or whatever your kernel supports in the 300 range.

If you got the official update, you will need to follow this guide to downgrade to froyo and gain root first (again)

As far as roms, fusion development has given way to unity, so would recommend that over fusion. As far as doubleshot, they are both stable for being relatively new but not without a bug or two. And the only one who can answer which is better is you...one may suite your style and needs better than than the rom I use...since they are all under active development, you may as well start to get used to flashing and try them all before you stick with one...
