I'm actually pissed off that apple is so blatently stealing other people's ideas and calling them their own. And the ifanboys are idiot enough to swallow this lie.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bungknees:
That video is classic bro. I haven't really cared to much to try and see what this 'NEW' ios is about, what a joke. They have just taken everything everybody in the android community has had for ages and have tried to make it there own. Not a lot of innovation being used there.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dburckh:
Apple has always lacked innovation, but made up for it in marketing. To be fair, I think they do a good job of refining other's ideas and making them more accessible and, of course, marketing the hell out of them. Before Apple, technology was generally reserved for the nerds. I owned 2 Treo's and although they were usable, they were not as polished as iOS or Android.

Anyway, one of the more interesting articles I read was that the reason Apple has puked out the latest pile of lawsuits was that they are running out of ideas. The Android ripoff that is iOS 5 backs that up.

Apple has created an environment, where they are expected to continually blow sales/profits away. That's not maintainable. The question is when does the ride end?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bungknees:
I think if apple hadn't been so stupid with the whole Samsung issue then I think people wouldn't be tough on them, but if you make your bed you have to lie in it.

I'm sure that didn't help them, but it's been a long time (at least for me) of bashing.

My whole life people kept telling me why Macs are better than PCs, etc etc. Then the iPhone came out and then Android, same crap, different product. Then all the Apple fans I knew kept telling me why the iPhone was better, like "oh the iPhone outsells Android! It must be better!" Well now that that isn't true, they have to keep coming up with other reasons that just constantly keep getting squashed and the reasons keep changing. Eventually they will run out of ammo and maybe make the change, if they haven't already.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] atz6975:
Well we can always give Apple credit for being the first one to bring Notification drop down to the Iphone 4+ !

I'm sure that is why people using Iphone love Apple so much.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] lanlee212:
Google should be proud that apple had to copy them to keep up.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tekkitan:
Then Apple sues them because they patented it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wimpanzee:
Apple sues to maintain their revenue stream when ideas run dry.

I have to admit, they make a polished product, but at a price...modding/rooting/running custom roms is sooo much easier outside that walled garden.

Now, this whole copying features from android and sticking an apple sticker on it is going a bit far.

Someone said that Jobs was so disappointed with Tim Cook's handling of the company he died.

I wonder what happens when RIMM has been completely ravaged. That numbers make it appear that most of the RIMM customer are going to Android. I would have figured big companies would flock to Apple.

I don't see the 4S making a big splash, but I can't say I've ever understood Apple clientele. Maybe now that iOS has embraced the Android way, people will jump on it???

i havent seen the new ios5 since iam not an apple fan .I had an iphone 3g had 5 new ones for it since the first white got cracks in the backplate .i tought at first i got a new one than the screws in the bottom falled out (second refurbised thing) one stoped wile having a lawer on the phone wile the battery was full .than another one with cracks in the backplate .lol that one got sunk at the botom of my fishingpound after having it 5 weeks .

all in all crappy stuff and very expencive .

[Eee Pad Transformer General] AlexTheStampede:
That's a matter of luck: my iPhone 3G bought close to the launch date still works perfectly. iOS 4 is clearly made for devices with more ram, but that's not an hardware issue. On the other hand a friend of mine loved his Nexus S for the whole month it worked before hard bricking itself.... It's a matter of luck if you get a crappy unit or a normal one.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] fldude99:
What a silly thread. There is a lot of pent up hostility towards Apple evidently. I give them and especially Steve Jobs all the credit in the world. The. USA needs more people like Jobs and more companies like Apple. As an example: although there were countless efforts to bring tablets to the mainstream, until Apple introduced the ipad they were all collosal failures. I wouldn't be typing this on my transformer if not for Steve Job's vision. Give Apple credit. They didn't invent much of what's in their products maybe, but they know how to put a first class product together and market it with unsurpassed genius.

Edit: suing apple would be like Ford suing Toyota for putting AC in their cars IMO
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mikelt89:
Really? apple also invented the detachble keyboad the transfromer have? why don't you have a crappy ipad BTW? maybe apple also invented your home ? or your life? we don't need people like you here. honestly, we don't.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] devistator18:
Another reason to dislike apple:

I have a professor at my university that was working on something that would integrate a blood sugar monitor into something that can be used with the iphone. The idea that that it would check the blood sugar level and then tell the user what to eat if their blood sugar was low. He contacted someone at apple, one of the higher ups, and explained the idea to him. After around 40 minutes of my professor telling him the idea, he was told that it wouldn't make enough money and that apple wasn't interested.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] goodintentions:
Trust me, they're only saying that. Someone on the other side probably was taking a lot of notes and they will implement this in one of their future iphones.

This won't be the first time they have done something like this.

---------- Post added at 03:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:12 AM ----------

This really depends. The problem that might be brought up in a law suit is that android is an open source platform. Now, whether ideas that are implemented using android can be copyrighted or not is a grey area. I'm sure google people are currently looking at this and trying to build a case as we speak.

For instance. Does everyone agree that sunlight is open source? Ok, so it's open source since it's right there for everyone to see and use. Suppose the sunlight open source community has been using solar panels for ages without even thinking about it. And then one day suddenly the evil Mr. Burns blocks out the sun and introduces an alternative source of light powered by a giant nuclear reactor. He also wants to charge you for charging your batteries with your solar panels.

That's what this situation is. It's a grey area whether google's notification bar idea was patented or not. Apple could argue that all these things found in android are like mozart or beethoven or amazing grace. All these musical pieces have been around forever and nobody has any copyright rights on them.

Here's another example of apple flexing its corporate muscle by going after a teenager and his parents.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] AlexTheStampede:
No, he's right even if the explanation isn't given in his post.

Look at any tablet or smartphone on the market. Now look at what was the market before the iPhone and iPad... Not as sales, just as shape and functionality. It's like Apple noticed that those things could be sold to a demographic different from the gadget loving nerds, and when the success was obvious everybody else went "look at that, it works! Quick, send our designers to make a minimal looking device with a friendly OS! "

I do think that patents tend to be dickery, but how do you say that one thing is different from another? Take this as an example: prostitution. From the consumer point of view you pay for the time and experience of somebody that will give you a specialized service. Same is true with a lawyer, painter, mechanic, engineer, airline pilot and so on to include everybody. And yet those are all different jobs, but the more you simplify the description the more they look alike. If I patented a "thing that does another thing" by now I would be filthy rich!

Also keep in mind that when they released Vista, Microsoft took care to patent the whole su/sudo thing, plus the page up and page down keys. Technically after that, any UNIX OS is breaching several Microsoft patents! How do a software patent make any sense, I don't know.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] fldude99:
Frankly I don't have to answer your loaded questions. So what your saying is anybody that disagrees with you isn't welcome in this forum?

Always Innovating invented the keyboard dock for the tablet..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mb02:
I like to say Apple is more in the business of marketing, not creating or innovating. Be honest, how much advertising for technology did we see before Apple? Next to none. Microsoft, Intel, smartphone manufacturers, etc.; none of them really pushed marketing on their products. The market was open and fair. Apple decided to take hold of the low-American-IQ demographic and exploit it. Naturally, the bandwagon started moving and they all hopped on. Now the other big competitors have to actually compete rather then let the consumer decide in a fair playing ground, so products are shamelessly being promoted and shoved down consumers throats while Apple is trying to sue out competition while stealing their intellectual property (why do you think HTC and Samsung are the main focus of Apple?). Dont be blind, think about it...

[Eee Pad Transformer General] fldude99:
^^I disagree. Jobs and Apple filled a niche of people wanting technology that just works and doesn't have to be tinkered with-with unsurpassed design-this is from someone who is no apple fanboy. I just recognize this and give kudos to what Apple has been able to do
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Danzano:
I once had a run in with apple when i was about 15 i took in my ipod touch which was jailbrooken and had a version of ubuntu running on it.

I thought back then that i could still get my warrenty etc the charger port was dead big mistake i got a phone call saying i could pick up the device that it would not be fixed and that they had my ip adress and would be monitering me.

Naturally at that age i bricked my pants and never touched a apple product since and android was my next (hack) so to speak and guess what no phone calls from google yaaay open source :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] AlexTheStampede:
I see why you dropped them, nobody thinks I'm so gullible and stays my friend! LOL, having your ip and using it to monitor you... Are they stuck in the 90's to think anybody would fall for that?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mb02:
In terms of mobile, partially true. They were the first to change the smartphone industry. Since then they have definitely made no major strides, but since they market well they have no need to do anything special anymore *looks at iP4S*. As for everything else, they have done nothing special. OSx is a Unix distro and all Mac hardware is the same as everything else but priced 50% higher, iCloud...too easy, iTV is juat a streaming service that had already been done. Just look around. Everything Apple does is the same as competition, but with an "i". The fact that they have created a singular ecosystem is more dangerous than beneficial. We all know empires come and go. Apple wont last forever and i dont wanna be tied to them so drastically when theyre gone.

Sidenote: Also, I live in Northern California. To own an iProduct is practically an intro to being a hipster. And that is something i dont want to be...

[Optimus One, P500, V General] asrhael:
Hello Ladys n' Gentlemans, im using a P500 LG phone with the 2.3.3 OS of Android (gingerbread), and me and my country have a lot of problem with this smartphone (and whatever smartphone with Android) because the "daylight time rules" was changed the past month.

For this reason, our smartphone clocks always go 1hrs back the real time (my country is Chile, GMT-4 in the summer time).

I know what to do in linux (update the tzdata file from ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/ and puting inside /usr/share/zoneinfo/), but in android the homework is something more complex.

In android, the "tzdata" reside inside the /system/usr/share/zoneinfo/ path. But inside that exist 3 files (in my P500):

zoneinfo.dat

zoneinfo.idx

zoneinfo.version

The 3rd file (zoneinfo.version) have the version of the tzdata release (in my case "2010k"), but i dont know how to make the other 2 files. I understand that these 2 files was produced by the original tzdata (now the tzdata2011k.tar.gz from the ftp), wich contains all the Time Zones with its own "times rules".

Searching in our good friend google, i found that a Java code can convert these files and merged into one "zoneinfo.dat and zoneinfo.idx".

The Java code is called "JavaCompiler.java" and uses several others Java classes that i don understand how to make it work.

The JavaCompiler link is this: link

Now, i want to ask if some of you guys can helpme with this. Im not a Java developer, and less an Android developer...im only a HP50g developer :P

I want to update these deprecated file, and then make it public for any who want to upgrade it.

Please, help me with that ;]

Best regards,

Asrhael!!!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] asrhael:
A lot of time has passed, and now i want to tell you that i managed to compile these files myself.

These files works in any Android device...and the ZoneInfo files (3) are updated with the lastest TZDATA available (2011k).

So, if you have an Android device and live in Chile, Argentina..or some other country with "daylight date"...this is a good update for you.

For the update, you must to copy/replace these files (3) for that in your device (in the /system/usr/share/zoneinfo). After that, you need to reboot and then select any Time Zone in the menu.

Best Regards,

Asrhael

I'm experimenting with some theming, I cooked up one in the uot kitchen but not all the changes seemed to work.

I found the icons, and the new icons are in there, but don't show on the phone. How do I make them the default icons? Also if anyone knows which XML sets the text colour and how I can fix the background it would be appreciated.

[Motorola Droid X2] cromag.rickman:
I've been racking my brain recently about losing data connectivity randomly. Didn't know where to post this, because I don't know if it's rom related (using eclipse 0.7) or not. Here's what happened:

I was playing NOVA 2 earlier today, and it froze as it often does. It restarted the phone as usual and when it started back up I had lost 3G connectivity. I restarted again, no luck.

Seems to come back temporarily when I go into Data manager and turn off data connectivity, then go back in and turn it back on.

I've never had this problem before, and it's pissing me off, does anyone else have this problem?

Don't know if it's related to the soak test that I signed up for...maybe they're sending the update to my phone and it's screwing with the rom because there's a block on OTA updates?

PLEASE anyone else noticing this, get back to me. Thanks,

D
[Motorola Droid X2] Xeno62277:
I have that problem in the building where I work. Since going to 2.3.4 I have seen a dramatic improvement with the 3G there, but it still craps out on me sometimes. I also found turning data off and back on can help... infact I have a Tasker shortcut on my home screen that does just that :)
[Motorola Droid X2] cromag.rickman:
I appreciate the reply! Unfortunately, my problem is more widespread, the 3G is going off and staying off no matter where I am. In order to get it back on (for about 30 seconds) I have to go into data manager and turn it off then back on. Also, this was a sudden unexpected change. I can't think of anything I did to cause it (ie. install a new app, new rom, etc), it's been working fine for months. Also, when I try to dial *228 to reprogram, the call connects but I have no keypad to enter "1" or "2" to reprogram or update roaming.
