I am still shocked how many people still have no idea what Android really is. I find that amazing since they have sold so many worldwide. If you talk about a tablet all people know is an iPad.

Even tech savvy people! One person I know thought you can only video chat on an iPad because you have to have facetime. I was like did you every hear of Skype? He was like yeah but you need a front camera. Um, Android devices have front camera's!

The funny thing is Android makes so much more logical sense to me when using it. Whenever I help my family with their IPhones I always find myself saying this is the dumbest way to do something and people think this is easy...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bbedward:
Yea but i cant reccomend it because of the issues and i dont own one myself to tell her any different.

Phones not so much, even the most I phoney people I met know about android (not much, the only things they know are they "can't face time, can't do things they really can")

Tablets are different they have no idea android has tablets

We must never give up the fight for freedom :) I thought that Samsung got a decent number of deserved jabs in a short amount of time while playing it cool... I approve of this commercial ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bbedward:
Lol people are free that's why some choose to buy iphones

You become indentured when you buy said iPhone. People don't buy them because they are free, they buy them for a myriad of reasons that reflect poorly on humanity.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cds0699:
It's comments like this that make me shake my head.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
You become "indentured" by either platform the second to pay for your first app. You are now invested in the success of that platform. If I decide to get an iPhone tomorrow all that I've spent on Android apps is worthless, and vice versa.

The fact that people can accuse one 'side' of doing something that makes them somehow less intelligent but they themselves are also doing it on the other 'side' truly reflects poorly on humanity.

Apple and Android being neck-and-neck...with neither side winning...would be the best thing that could happen for consumers, as a whole. If you really think you want 'your team' to 'win' you might want to think a little harder about it.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
Not only does it come with Turn by turn navigation, it also comes with slacker, pro golf trial, a caller id trial, Amazon mp3, and various carrier installed useless apps that will continually run and drain battery while nagging you to upgrade and pushing ads to your phone. You just got samsunged.

Can we all just agree that these are corporations selling phones and that both phones have their pluses and minuses.

My favorite part in this video was the beginning. Lol

"Awwww looks like last year's phone" xD

It's true i don't think the iphone will every look 'noticeably' different.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
Weird, my phone didn't come pre-installed with those apps? Is mine defective, should I return it for another one?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iSaint:
My family didn't even understand the commercial ... we saw it during the game.. so that shows how poorly that advertising strategy works on the average person ..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] staryoshi:
My initial commentary was more glib than a serious discussion.

Becoming invested in a platform is a basic concept. You're want to stay with the platform whose apps you're already invested in. The choice of platform in which to invest is often made out of ignorance motivated by environmental factors. No "side" is as evident of this as Apple product purchasers. (as with everything, there are always exceptions) It is nice to see an ad campaign that those who follow tech less closely may be influenced by.

If Apple ceased to exist, the market would still churn forward and competition would rise again.

You can spin your argument to support your implied moral superiority, but please don't speak down to me as though your knowledge of economic forces exceeds mine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
Believe it or not, there are other Samsung phones besides the epic touch. The touch has its share of bloat though (The ad pushing sprint zone, various sprint apps that require monthly fees, various useless apps like mediahub to name a few).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cds0699:
The thing is, if people didnt use those apps they would stop having them installed. So that being said, some people must find some use out of the preinstalled apps.

That's why they said "oh, how much did you pay for that app?" -Meaning, Apple and their pocketless applications.

Apple is also their top contender, just because they know people wait outside for hours at a time to get a new processor lol. I'd say it is smarter to go for a contender that has more hair on their back than others. ;)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SirWise23:
Yea, I noticed that... he is also wearing stripes... prison style.

True they are picking on Apple, but screw it. I can't tell you how annoyed I am hearing my Apple friends rave about their new OS and how it's so much better than my Android because they can now swipe down and see their alerts, pay to back things up to iCloud, and updated their phone over the air instead of plugging it in to iTunes...

When I say, "oh, you mean they are finally starting to do what Android has done since day one, for free?" They just insist they the iPhone somehow does it much better.

Funny thing is, these are the same people that when I told them I didn't like the iPhone BECAUSE it lacked things like those a year ago, they said it wasn't a big deal.

Now, I am not an Apple hater at all. I own 3 iPods, my daughter has an iPod, my daughter has an iPad, my mom has an iPad and I got her an iPhone to replace her HTC EVO when it came to Sprint... all of which were presents I bought myself through the years. I personally have an ASUS Transformer and a Galaxy Epic 4g... What I don't like is the cult mentality that Apple fan-boys where they are blind to anything else and what they have is always better, even though they can't give you a single reason why it's better. That blind following is EXACTLY how cults start. Apple should start a Religion...

When they do, I will try to get JEDI accepted as a religion. Not sure how many signatures I need though...

Quoted for truth. This apple following just blows my mind.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dissaor:
So, i have a Time Capsule, Ipod Nano, Ipad, Apple TV, and yes i had an iphone 4, of course My Galaxy Note is way better than what i had.. but yeah this kind of spots do not help, i only change it cause im a geek, and i want to see what was all the fuzz about... to test it, and see for my self which one is better... They should focus more on what you can do, they should mention Jailbreak for that effect, i didnt knew i could do all this stuff with and android from stock, while i had to wait for a jailbreak on the Iphone and only then you can compre and still the iphone loses...

my two cents

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bella92108:
OK I thought it might be that I was being throttled or something, but now I know I'm not. Lately (not sure since what update, I'm on ATT STOCK + I777UCKH7 and rooted with whatever that first one was that came out.

I've been disappointed because my data speeds are like 1-1.5mbps on my GSII and figured it was just ATT's crap network.

I popped my SIM into my friend's new Galaxy Nexus and get 6-7mbps sitting in the same exact place, so now I'm convinced something is awry on my GSII. Either a setting or something else, but it's an issue.

What could it be? I have tried replacing the radio, and J7 and H7 are the same as far as speeds. I'm thinking maybe the data config file, but not sure how I'd check that or replace it with a better one... anyone have recommendations?

Thanks!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] KevinChaos:
I'm getting about 500kbps with mine :( I'm on an unlimited data plan and I've used about 3gb so far this month. My new cycle starts tomorrow. I hope I'm not being throttled. I haven't gotten any notifications about it.

For those who are being throttled, did AT&T notify you first? Or at least warn you that it might happen?

I'm thinking it's just how the network is out here but I hope I'm wrong. In San Antonio, TX using KK6 modem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] moustro:
Yes they notified me by text and email the first month stating that I had reached the top 5% and that if I continued I would be throttled. No throttling happened that month. Then the following month 5 days into my billing cycle I received the exact same text and email. Approximately two days later they sent me a text saying I was being throttled.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] KevinChaos:
Okay good to know. Thank you. These data nightmares might help push me toward the skyrocket hd when it comes out. I'm conflicted though because I love the dev community here and I doubt there will be any support for the gsiisrhdlte (lol).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] moustro:
I will post the throttled speeds here in a minute. Horrendous. My non throttled data speeds are great here in Oklahoma. Have you tried flashing a different modem. That's what helped me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] KevinChaos:
I've flashed every modem possible. KK6 got me 5mbps when I first flashed it, but now it's 10x slower. It was the fastest at the time, which was about a month ago. Should I try the other modems again to see if things changed? N00b question, but maybe it's because I flashed KK6 when it leaked, and now that it's stock everyone is using it so it's slower? Lol idk.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] moustro:
From what I have read it all depends on location. In my case UCKJ1 is the best. Other factors could be congestion and cell towers being down. I would try different modems again and give it a day or two.

The skyrocket lacks dev support, weaker processer, and will result in reaching your data cap sooner or throttled. I could relate if I was you and getting less than 1 down though. That's just miserable
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bella92108:
I think the issue may be in the built.prop file, or potentially with the modem\kernel combo, but I'm just not getting it how a stock GSII next to the Nexus is literally getting 1/3 the speed.

Same server, 6.5 mbps on the Nexus, and 1.8mbps on the GSII. (Same SIM, same test location, same time of day)

I used ShoStock, so it even replaced the modem, and I assume kernel, and the newest build.prop so I'm just baffled as to why I'm getting this result.

Any suggestions?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] xKrisx:
Not sure if it's a good example but I think it has something to do with hardware. I had the exact same results when testing against a Skyrocket. My i777 only gets max around 5mbs download but swapping testing the skyrocket exactly the same I can get upwards of 10mbs.

I wonder if it's possibly related to the difference in APNs as well. But huge difference comparing the speeds.

Oh and before someone says it. I DO NOT LIVE in an LTE area. Denver CO. Thanks

ICS

From my understanding, Ice Cream Sandwich would face issues on the Infuse likely due to the lack of a dual core. Yet other phones such as the HTC EVO receive ports of ICS. So it may just be a matter of time. We can just get visual teasers on our Infuses. Me personally, I just use CM7 and ADW Launcher EX and get ICS themes.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
horse ****. Google's focus has always been to keep the OS light. they make more speeds and smoothness optimizations than add special effects and ram hogging feature. the reason Samsung might have a problem with it besides the investment in maintaining older devices is that the rom storage might mean big changes to the tw3 ui as the carrier bloat and Samsung bloat already fill the system partition. resizing the partitions would mean big risks in the update.

remember the nexus1 still gets updates and they have no plans to stop that as far as I can tell. the infuse would have zero difficulty with ics but Samsung might have difficulty getting it to fit without rethinking touchwiz and the apps they include. but they could move bloat to /data/app if they really needed to.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] AbstractMind87:
Guess the ball's in their court. Here's a burning question tho, should we wait for an official update that may never happen, or should we just consider getting the newer phones i.e. the SGSII or Skyrocket?? The Skyrocket looks just like the Infuse, and has been confirmed to be receiving ICS when the updates roll out.
