If its from someone reputable, That's fine .. I paid about the same .. A year ago lol

Alot of people go on ebay and try to find a bargain.. Then realise they have purchased a load a crap :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Crack85:
Get a decent one. Like a sandisk, Kingston, etc class 10
[Galaxy S II Accessories] jonny68:
If you are just looking for a 16GB card then go for this, Lexar make good cards i have a 32GB class 10 one and it is excellent.

http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/...B-Micro-SDHC-Memory-Card-Class-4/Product.html
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Goooober:
Does class 4 not mean its quite slow? Everyone seems to recommend getting a class 10.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] kdashh:
I have a Sandisk Micro SD 32GB SDHC Class 4 just as good as a class 10... was $30 AUD
[Galaxy S II Accessories] jonny68:
Depends on the manufacturer, i also have a Sandisk 8GB class 4 and it is quite fast but if your really concerned about speed then get a class 10, only reason i got a class 10 is that it was on sale but i just wanted a 32GB card regardless if it was class 4 or 10:)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] drigz08:
This is the best. Period.

​
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Flash05:
got myself sandisk 8gb class4. the problem is that it makes my phone reboot randomly. in a day i got 3+ i think.

perhaps a defective one... i'll try to reformat as what mentioned in one of the threads here. and resit too.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] kdashh:
Very true !
[Galaxy S II Accessories] downforce:
I got the Silicon Power 32GB Class 4 microSD. Haven't had a problem with it, was cheap (AUD $44) but is quite slow (about 2-3MB/s) which is expected from a Class 4 card.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] BigMrB:
Btw class 10 won't make huge difference in ur phone compared to class 4 but when copying to pc its a massive difference
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Goooober:
How about this one? 16gb Samsung class 10 for £13?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mynameisjon:
if it's too cheap to be true, it most likely is. I can tell you right now that sir, is a fake.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Joey2o11:
My Lexar Class 10 is, as expected, twice as quick at transferring files as my old Sandisk class 4.
[HD7 General] Majuu:
Hey, any1 might have a clue why i cant enter bootloader?

vol- + power equals normal start

im using deepshining 6.1 if it makes any difference
[HD7 General] Foxnov1990:
Using Deepshining myself since yesterday (v7 though) and I just tried what you said.

However I "think" I know your issue, if you try to press both at the same time (volume button down + power button) you might end up with just booting the device normally cause you hit the power button first.

Just try this: shut down the phone --> press & hold the Volume Down button --> press the power button. The phone should then just boot in bootloader (at least for me)

That's all I can think off but im no programmer. Hope it works!

http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/17/apple-files-another-german-lawsuit-against-samsung-targets-gala/

Apple has filed another lawsuit in Germany against Samsung targeting the GSII and 9 other smart phones for patent infringement. So the saga continues.

Someone answer me this, when did apple come through with a design patent called minimalist.

I'm getting tired of Apple trying to seriously monopolize the mobile market. Especially since the FTC just turns their heads every time Apple does anything. It's a bit beyond ridiculous now.

UPDATE:

http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/16/...inos-latest-complaint-alleges-17-device/#saga

That's the full saga of apple vs samsung. With new lawsuits claiming that at least 17 devices are infringing upon such patents as slide to unlock, among others.

http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/16/apple-granted-injunction-in-germany-patent-suit-motorola-phones/

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] lowandbehold:
To be honest, I think Samsung saw that one coming. That is why they want to the capacative buttons on the American versions.
[General Topics] 754boy:
They not gonna win. A GS2 is easily recognizable from an iphone, especially with its huge screen.
[General Topics] Jesushaxyou:
It's the bigger screen and if you look at the rounded corners it's like the GSII is a football player next to a ballerina. Very broad shoulders on that thing.
[General Topics] lowandbehold:
The bigger screen isn't going to be enough to save them. Either way...it won't matter. IF apple wins the lawsuit and gets shipments of the GSII halted, by that time the GSIII will be out!

[General Topics] GIR:
IN their previous claim they manipulated pictures of the SGS so it looks like the 3GS.

Too be honest, I think Samsung took a very close look at what Apple is doing and based drew their lessons, after all: "Good artists copy, great artists steal"!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CW0DUg63lqU

Apple doesn't realize it but they opened Pandora's box. Apple might have a few design patents, which is always nice, but the majority of the essential tech patents are in the hands of Motorola, Erricson, Nokia and Samsung.
[General Topics] Jesushaxyou:
Doesn't matter much about the tech patents because it's all about design. But like I said earlier, the FCC doesn't care who has what when apple is in the picture. I think they all use iPhones lol.

[General Topics] asting:
That's a stupid argument. Touchscreens have been on smartphones before that phone. Palm and other windows CE based touch screen phones existed before that.
[General Topics] GIR:
That doesn't come up much does it? Unless you're talking to a person in the know. The current iPhone4 design is basically the LG Prada. The capacitive touch and the UI design is basically Prada.

Basically all LCD and Plasma tvs have overwhelmingly similarities. However, they all have a wealth of differences present so that consumers can discern one from the other.

[General Topics] bdfull3r:
if it were a matter of Apple trying to get a license fee for technology they developed and other copies took i would be much more forgiving. But they are trying to ban products because to someone across the room they look a little similar to Apple products. You don't see other industries like television, or digital picture frame, or laptops, or desktops, or monitors, or alarm clock manufacturer's suing each other
[General Topics] nemofbaby2010:

If Samsung would just change the look of the UI this would not be a problem anymore. As much as I hate Apple (you have no idea how much lol) even I have to admit that TouchWiz looks alot like the iPhone except it has an app drawer. All they have to do is find a new icon design and UI layout and be done with it.!
[General Topics] vetvito:
That's because most of those companies use the same suppliers and manufacturers. So, most of the stuff you see from different companies ,are actually the exact same thing with different logos and cases.

How does that make the smartphone market any different? the lawsuits are pointless. Foxconn makes products for Apple, Samsung, Motorola, Intel, and 20 other tech companies. Samsung produces the A5 processors in Apple products.
[General Topics] physicstech:
This is so dumb. There is plenty of room for both iOS and Android. I just switched to a GS2 Skyrocket, and my old iPhone 4S is now serving as an iPod with 3G for Pandora in my car connected to my head unit. I like iOS's simplicity, but lately I prefer the ease of obtaining total control over my device (rooting)
[General Topics] LaseOfFury:
Apple really enjoy's trying to sue everyone, maybe because they are getting beat by better devices... I'm sure apple doesn't own "the button" or "the LCD screen"... They must think they own patents for "the cellphone"... I wanna see Samsung win as they should..

Also they try'd to sue HTC recently, I didn't keep track of that.. AND I would love to see the stupidity of many companies suing over alarm clocks xD

But I don't really know all of what this is all about but I think apple is being their greedy selves...
[General Topics] jpculp:
Perhaps the real motive is to give people the impression that Samsung is a copycat and their iPhone is worth copying. Sure to us they are making fools of themselves, but to your everyday person that might not be the case.

That's a very good point! Apple also gets people that use iPhones to start going on and on about how "better" they are with this type of stuff... I guess to make themselves think their phone is good ^_^

This is starting to get old, don't you guys think? What's there to even sue for? iPhones but NOW added the pull-down quick menu drawer, so they'll start suing all new phones whose OS HAD that feature since day one of their predecessors?
[General Topics] znetroll:
It is at it always is when fast progress is (to be) made: Everyone copies from everyone else. It's how mankind moved from "We have this thingy here and we call it a transistor, it's cool but we don't know what to with it" to "Nice! We have integrated circuits and can do awesome stuff" in under ten years: Permissive licensing, not suing each other and building upon what others have built.

Sadly, this is not the attitude today any more. Patents are no longer used to protect innovation, but to put your competitors out of business. They don't even cover real innovations any more - in this very millenium, a company was granted a patent on a toaster! (US patent no 6080436 - "Bread refreshing method". It describes a toaster, was filed in 1999 and granted in 2000)

The only question is: Will governments recognize that the current patent system is being massively abused and do something about it before it is too late? Maybe it's time for SOPA-style protests, although it is much harder to do this regarding the patent situation, seeing that this was a slow process of rulings and not a single bill.

Its very unprofessional and childish to say the least.

If anything, the end result is exactly the opposite of their original intentions.

MY aunt works in silcon valley in a tech company and many of those support mac infrastructure, mainly because of security and corporate side support for corporate applications.

Anyways, she bought another replacement 4S as higher ups in apple are seriously considering abandoning the smart phone space after the iphone 5.

Hopefully, that is not the case, because i would like competition to remain high=prices low.

anyhow, just my two cents.

apple is loosing so much ground in the smartphone market and became desperate and started suing....
[General Topics] wlfpck:
I don't really think you can say that Apple is losing ground.... especially without the sources to really back that up.

A quick google search throws ups this figure....

http://f3v3r.com/tag/nielsen-ratings/

While Android OS is the predominant OS in the smartphone market segment, iOS is still doing very well. You also have to keep in mind that with Android, it does not cover just the SGII which is the phone that Apple declares is a copy and wants to get the sales banned. Android spans across a multitude of phones from low-end to high end. I like android's open source. It really is nice but I don't think iOS is going anywhere soon.
[General Topics] Archer:
lol

That link clearly shows that Apple

is

losing ground. You are of course correct to say that they are still doing well, and of course they won't be going anywhere soon - again that is obviously correct.

But yeah, that link, if believed, is proof that Android is growing and iOS is shrinking.
[General Topics] Jesushaxyou:
I feel like the whole Apple vs Samsung thing needs epic fight music every time I read an article about the suits.
[General Topics] lowandbehold:
So an update on this. Apple has lost this battle..once again. It was a battle about touchscreen technology. The German court ruled that this technology was on the market before apple filed for the patent, therefore the patent is basically void. That sets great precedence for the rest of the bull**** patents that apple has filed for..slide to unlock, location tracking, etc...
[General Topics] Jesushaxyou:

[General Topics] OmegaRED^:
Let me say this..

i have converted countless individuals from BB, nokia, i-phone to using Android.

out of all of them the i-Phone users were the worst to speak to about it.

They simply do not look at the facts and ignore the superiority.

I say there are phones for everyone, android can seem scary to new users but is actually epic once you dig into it.

My one friend swore by his windows mobile device " i have nothing against it"

But after showing him my modded SGS2 he was thrilled and got a tegra 2 tablet and a sgs2.

Apple be careful don't back yourselves into a wall.

He now hardly lets me touch these devices "he was never that protective over his last 3 phones"

But he's a hard device hacker... so android makes sense.

For the average person there are many options and android does that well too.

Anyway let me cut the story short.

I would love for a ideal "one OS to rule them all" world.

But the lack competition:-

Will drive device prices even higher.

Would slow progress "companies trying to out do each other"

And would make the lack of stupid lawsuits so boring.

But Apple needs to get a better way to make money.

Seriously need a better hobby than suing everything that looks the same or similar.

There are certain rules in the universe. "proof of concept"

When a design is so perfect that very little or nothing can be done to improve it.
[General Topics] iamsloany:
In my opinion I think both sides are being petty they both want to sell their products in abundance, but the problem is once one company sells a bit more of something or the other company makes a product thats resembles another thats when the childishness of it starts they should both MAN UP and get on with what they are being paid for which is making awesome devices and everyday products that we enjoy using, so what if a certain microchip or red wire came from the same factory who gives a toss

[General Topics] wlfpck:
The graph shows that a three (3) month period of phone activation breakdown. Just a heads up since I myself misread it the first time.

My point was more about the fact that Apple still experienced growth in the market share. Android being open source and available readily to pretty much anyone has led to the vast multitude of devices from the Nook and Kindle Fire to the various phones made by Samsung, Motorola, etc etc.

The whole point of it is to point out that while these different phone manufacturers share Android OS as a commonality, it would be much more interesting to take a look at the sales of the iPhone 4S vs SGII vs etc etc. Then it makes it more of a "fair" comparison and what not. Apple has no low end phones. Phone manufacturers do. I bought a LG Phoenix and it was great till I saw that the HTC Inspire was awesome and switched to that. That's was my point.

The below source is the comscore. While it does show the iOS slowing down, there is still a growth.

http://www.phonedog.com/2011/12/29/...ndroid-and-ios-growing-while-other-oses-slip/

But... as for the whole Apple suing everyone. Yes. I do think that it is completely ridiculous to an extent. Once a phone is made a touch screen with no dedicated keyboard or the number pad thingy... it can only look so different. For this, I think Apple needs to calm down.
[General Topics] zelendel:
Ok guys this is really starting to get heated over nothing really. Apple is apple and will always be apple. They do things their way. and complaining about it is not really doing anything. If you dont like what they are doing then dont buy their products. Its that simple. I hate Apple on levels most of you could not understand but yet I accept them for what they are. A business that is out to make money. There is no need to get upset about it or fight over what should or should not be. Their will always be a user base for every product. None are better or worse then the other, they just target different people. Apple makes easy to use locked down devices, Microsoft makes easy to use Gamer targeted devices (Xbox intergration), Google makes Developer Phones. It is all a matter of what you are into. Does it really matter who has bigger market share?
