I did notice that, thanks, but it still shows growth of rate of sales for Android and loss of rate of sales for Apple.

Let me make 1 thing clear... If someone likes Apple products over any other OS then I applaud them for finding what is best for them. I happen to prefer Android over all the other available OS, but I am in no way saying that it is superior. Just that it suits me better.

It seems that the only thing apple knows how to do is sue people. They design one product and milk it for years. And what patent infringement? At this point all phones look alike, so it would fall under "fair use." Similar to how Nokia could not prevent apple from using their patents on wireless communication since it is an essential technology for mobile phones and had to be licensed out under fair use.

Can't wait to see apple put in their place honestly. I use to like them, but their attitude has left me with a bad taste in my mouth. So I am no longer a fan of that company or their products.

[General Topics] PeartFan40:
Ohh jeeez, this again? Another lawsuit? Is it just me, or does it seem like Apple feels threatened by companies who manufacture phones that are superior to the iPhone? So they really think they are going to stop other companies from marketing touch screen devices? This behavior by Apple is a big part of the reason I can't stand the iPhone, or any Apple products for that matter.

Apple needs to get over themselves. This has gone beyond ridiculous. In ny opinion, I think the iPhone is overrated junk, which is why I abandoned it.Android devices are far better, faster, and more versitile. Glass and metal doesn't impress me. And that's all the iPhone has going for it.

imo, this is a pointless war. seriously. There's no point in comparing 2 completely different operating systems or 2 brands. It's a matter of taste. As of the infringement war, apple is really really really stupid...and they will pay for it.
[General Topics] PeartFan40:
That's not entirely true. Several older generation phones are still wildly popular, with copious dev support, despite being replaced by better, faster versions. Just look at the Nexus S, HD2, Vibrant, Galaxy S 4g. Some of these devices already have fully functioning ICS ROMs....the list goes on. The Galaxy S II, especially the i777 with the Exynos CPU, is a highly popular device, and I don't see it losing interest anytime soon. Just because a newer phone is released, doesn't mean the previous version gets ditched.

Apple are scared s**tless that samsung have better smartphones {which is true}

apple are filing lawsuits about pointless stuff "oh s**t look samsung are copying us with slide to unlock oh noo" rotten losers same with Motorola and the galaxy tab"look at this tab it looks like a ipad " yea so it kinda square and thin but it looks **** like a ipad "oh no look that new smartphone form samsung has a button in the dead center on the phone and its thin too :eek: off to file a lawsuit " apple give it a rest we know your a bunch of selfish c**ts you dont need to advertise it more you live in stone age your iphone is a as good a dogs**t you cant even make a phone with a higher clock like 1.2ghz 1.4ghz 1.6ghz like come on just take it in and let it go apple f**k off leave other phone company's alone

what other smartphone makers do................."oh apple filed a lawsuit dont bother going to court its probably some bull**** about us having a slide to unlock............... " in court apple: bla bla bla bla bla blabla bla bla.........

other company: Szzzzzz Szzzzzz Szzzzzz Szzzzzzz................................. whatever
[General Topics] adelmundo:
With close to $100 BILLION in the bank in cold hard cash and really not knowing what to do with it, these patent lawsuits are meant to slow and delay development by other manufacturers. With every win they score possibly helps delay the release of a new phone as the manufacturers have to redesign a phone about to be releases or delay a release as they appeal a decision. In the long run, they use their power and leverage to keep competition from running away technology wise. I see it more as a slow and delay tactic by Apple.
[General Topics] Jesushaxyou:
Updated first post with new lawsuits and stories.

Now Apple is beginning to target Motorola as well for infringement against intellectual property, this also concerning the slide to unlock patents and others of the like.

Not to mention the lawsuit filed against the BANKRUPT Kodak.

The saga of Apple V. The World needs to end. This is becoming far too disruptive for anyone to complete goals in sales and output of devices and ideas for consumers.

It seems they've lost all interest in the customers and just want to own everything now.

Apple, everyday I hate you more and more. You're making me hate my job in this Apple Specialist Store.
[General Topics] soshite:
That is why I like what Google did with Android. Companies can use it, and not have to worry about them filing lawsuits against each other. But with Apple's iOS, it's private and closed off. Oh well.

Also, don't buy Apple products, manufactured in china! D:

Actually, AFAIK, samsung makes the processors in the iPhone. The big FAMED processor that was going to CHANGE the way phones act. Yea. That was samsungs.

Anyone else get the whole bite-the-hand-that-feeds thing going on here?

Guarantee: No matter the outcome of the lawsuits, Samsung and Apple will continue to work together because Samsung makes money from Apple buying their hardware and Apple makes money selling the hardware in their devices.

Guess what? Nobody cares about us anymore. Except maybe HTC. Everyone else just wants their money.
[General Topics] thebobp:
An obvious reaction since they can afford it. Honestly, the patent system is just asking to be abused: it has to just go. One can only hope that it'll generate enough negative PR not to be worth it.
[General Topics] slapshot30:
Wrong on the last part. HTC has become douchey in regards to bootloaders. We only got it unofficially after getting a couple devs to beg and beg. Otherwise HTC wasn't planning on even talking about unlocking them until like 4 or 5 months after release. Samsung on the other hand ships with unlocked bootloaders. And Samsung even hired some cyanogen guys a while ago and works with developers like supercurio. HTC is losing ground to Samsung for people like us.

[General Topics] skaapman101:
As if Apple has never used other company's ideas. That's how things work. That's why the iPod wasn't invented in 1808. All technology is based on preceding technology.

I think Apple is realizing that they are losing ground to Android and instead of focusing on improving their products and trying to win back customers, they are attacking the opposition directly. Very bad for their image in my opinion.

What Microsoft is doing is even worse. They are getting money for every Galaxy SII being sold because of out of court settlements.
[General Topics] adelmundo:
The Microsoft model is probably the best. They allow other companies to continue innovation by using some of Microsoft's patents and at the same time, Microsoft makes money as well. It's a win/win situation.

Apple on the other hand is trying to stifle innovation by limiting it's competitors.

Win/Win? Uh.. someone definitely loses with Microsoft's plan. The manufacturers have to pay (for essentially nothing), and ultimately it's the consumers who end up paying Microsoft (for essentially nothing). The only thing going for it is that it costs us less than Apple's thermonuclear approach.
[General Topics] PeartFan40:
Microsoft and Samsung came to an agreement, that sounds prettu good to me. For every handset Sasumg sells, MS gets $15. This allows Samsung to use Microsofts IP, essentially blocking Apple from suing. Anything that stops or hinders Apple in any way, is a good thing. :D
[General Topics] PeartFan40:
Apple chooses to remain locked and tight-lipped about everything, putting them in a very small market. People like the flexibility of customizing, rooting, hacking their devices. Apple didn't invent the wheel, and they certainly don't offer anything unique, that can't be obtained from a dozen or more manufacturers. Yet, time and again, they file lawsuits to prevent others from producing products that are superior to Apple; which threaten Apple's paltry share in the cell phone market. (Which is somewhere around 20%).

If Apple got over themselves, and made iOS open source; allowing developers access to code, Apple would see an increase in popularity. Being that Apple's staff mainly consists of brain damaged, paranoid hippies, I don't see that happening anytime soon.

The Samsung phone pictured here doesn't violate any Apple patents. It has a very prominent Samsung logo printed on it. This very same German court has already ruled that since the Galaxy Tab 10.1N had an equally prominent Samsung logo that it didn't violate Apple's patents. The Samsung phone pictured here also has three buttons below the screen instead of the one button that the iPhone has. There are more differences between the Galaxy S2 and the iPhone 4 than there are between the original Galaxy Tab 10.1 and the Galaxy Tab 10.1N.
[General Topics] coolbiza:
Well, i read all 13pages of this apple vs android (to me looks like that) theme. Apple makes great hardware and software (i own mac book pro). Everybody knows about their "closed source" policy and that they like to sue and talk how they invented everything, even stuff they stoled from others. It is like that from their day one.

To be honest, my white sgs2 looks like white iPhone, some of my friends even told me "oh you bought iPhone" but on second look diferences are obvius...

I believe apple is suing only becouse sgs2 is better than iPhone, if samsung have made phone with same design and low end or average hardware there would be no actions by apple.

Cheers!
[General Topics] PeartFan40:
Agreed. Does Apple thinks they can sue anybody who designs a phone or tablet with a RETANGULAR shape? I'm surprised they haven't sued everybody who designs products rectangular in design.

[General Topics] PeartFan40:
Ahhh, the typical Aplle Fanboy Sheep. Aplle isn't protecting hard work. They are protecting the technology they paid for from the original creator. All apple does is design pretty little packages around "acquired" technology, then cry wolf when another company actually does invent technology that is superior to Apple.

No. The A5 is based on ARM's Cortex A9 and uses a modified design created by Apple. It's merely fabricated by Samsung.

Actually, the reason the 10.1N was granted freedom to roam about German stores was because of the bezel they put on the device that differentiated it from the iPad just enough.

Quick question for all of you.

Is anybody having a problem with getting a 3G/4G connection with the Rogers P7500 stock rom that is on HC 3.2?

Just recently flashed to this rom and haven't been able to get a wireless signal. I am in an area where there is perfect signal yet still no internet connection.

The rom link can be found by searching on the forum site but unfortunately am no:)t able to post the link.

Any help will be great.

Thanks:)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] appdroid:
After unlocking phone someone tried running t-mobile sim and he said only edge but he did not flash t989 radio so idk. If i can unlock it for free i will try it and let you know.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Dimopolous:
I have an opportunity to get my hands on one of these phones very soon. I have a HTC HD2 on T-mobile's network. If it is not a bother, could you verify this? I wouldn'' want to be responsible for you bricking your phone, but I would be most appreciative for the information on it's possibilty if you know what you are doing.

It is unlocked.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] appdroid:
What do you need me to verify?? I m confused :confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:!

Because you can run t**** on i727 with edge network plus you can flash t989 radios on i727 i done that before but not with t**** sim card.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] polish_pat:
its not possible because t-mobile radios for skyrocket dont exist, so you can't flash an other radio for tmobile as it wont work and you migh just end up screwing your phone. tmobile sucks man, change to anything else.......if you like good hardware that it

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] polish_pat:
HSPA+ will not work with the Skyrocket no matter if a radio exists or not. The simple reason is that supported H+ frequencies are 1700 for download and 2100mhz for upload and skyrocket only goes 1900mhz and 2100mhz. So unless you are able to enable the 1700mhz frequency, 4G or 3G will not work with the skyrocket! Edge is the only frequency that will
