There are rumors that Apple just wasted $100 Million in legal disputes Against HTC. Apparently, Apple patents did not hold up against HTC in court. The only patent that was successful was about tiny software feature in email app used by HTC on Android Phones.

[Android General] bigmikehd2:
Lol that's awesome! Maybe they should worry about making some new devices (maybe one with 4G) and quit worrying about what HTC and Samsung are doing.
[Android General] Livewings:
PWNED.
[Android General] MikeyMike01:
So? They make money on their phones and can afford to protect it. Hardly a waste even if it's unsuccessful.

I am fairly certain Apple can afford to lose such amount. I don't think they act on impulse, they plan very very carefully and consider the risks. Plus any publicity is good publicity. Just sayin'.

Having said that, I hate Apple, they are bullies to say the least. :D

[Android General] Timmyfoxeh:
I agree, Apple certainly, with their wealth, should afford to lose those amounts, however it's still a lot of money nonetheless.

Then I don't hate Apple, they have rather decent products, however I strongly dislike their ways of marketing and the way they abuse their (imho) way to big list of parents to bully other companies.

That said, if this is true, I suppose I'm happy it didn't go through since, from my understanding, $100 mil in legal disputes could have caused HTC quite some problems.

instead of suing every mobile manufacturer on the planet (HTC, Motorola, Samsung...) apple should focus on improving that horrible os they have.

Apple is not compatible to android overall IMHO and therefore has to use the money they make off the fanboys to try to attack the better companies. Let em waste their money.

Fanboys are so annoying.
[Android General] thorstenhirsch:
I wonder why Apple seems to win every legal dispute in Germany, but not in any other country. News says that courts in Düsseldorf and Mannheim both state, that Samsung/HTC infringes Apple's design rights, which is not patent-related. German law says, that products are not allowed to look the same. So all the judges here think that Samsung's products look the same as those from Apple.

Samsung's and HTC's "counter attack" is about patents, umts technology and such. But the German courts dismiss these technical claims. It's really weird (but nice) to hear that results of these legal disputes are the complete other way 'round in the rest of the world.
[Android General] iridaki:
Ditto... ;)
[Android General] Oneiricl:
The point to me is that Apple's wasting money it could be using to develop better phones and tech with. And at the same time, it's forcing other companies to waste money, time and resources to battle it. That just holds back the industry and stifles innovation.

I used to be a big fan of Apple (not to the extent of being a fanboy) for how smooth their system was and is. But in the past 5 years, with all the DRM issues (starting with the iPod, even though I had one) and locking down their system so you feel you're borrowing your phone from them rather than buying it, and the patent trolling, I'm just getting more and more disillusioned...
[Android General] poseidon1157:
*shrug* Feel free to correct me, but hasn't everything here essentially been stolen from the FLOSS community? The only thing these companies even provide anymore is package management and a GUI. For Apple this practice goes back to Darwin and for Google android. I suppose it's possible that the iPhone source is based on Unix (I can't do an audit).

I don't think android leverages much of X11 either.
[Android General] jpcosta:
Yeah, i feel the same. I used to go to macrumors.com and other apple related sites, but I got tired of news about apple sueing everything that moves...

[HTC Sensation] jaycarag:
Hi Guys,

Appreciate if you can help me with my problem. My phone is not receiving some SMS/TXT Msgs from my other contacts. My phone is able to send SMS properly but there are times that I don't received any SMS from my other contacts. Have you guys encountered the same problem as well? If so, did you manage to fix it? I'm using a HTC Sensation XE which is not rooted and no custom ROM is installed.

Thank you and apologies if this issue was already answered (I wasn't able to find a thread for HTC Sensation with my specific problem).
[HTC Sensation] nevrlow:
Have u tried restarting the phone? Have tried clearing the messaging cache in applications>manage apps? How long has this been going on? Nice phone by the way sir.
[HTC Sensation] jaycarag:
Thanks for the reply! Yup, I've already restarted the phone a couple of times and cleared the cache as well. Hmm. I think this has been going for a month or so. :(

You have a nice phone as well sir. ;)
[HTC Sensation] nevrlow:
Have u tried doing a fctory reset? Are u using the stock message app not handscent or chompsms? Also you can go to your carrier and tell them u think the sim is bad. Ive had a few messed up sim cards that would do the same thing. Everytime i got a new sim the problem went away
[HTC Sensation] jaycarag:
I haven't tried doing factory reset. I'm saving it for my last option. I'm just using the stock messaging app of HTC. At first I was using Go SMS and I uninstalled it thinking that it was the cause of the issue. I've also reported this to my carrier twice. :(

Thanks again for the reply sir! It's very much appreciated.
[HTC Sensation] nevrlow:
Which carrier do you have? Call them and tell them u need a new simcard. Thats the problem man im 99.9% sure.
[HTC Sensation] jasminthoria:
It looks like network problem has nothing to do with your phone.
[HTC Sensation] nevrlow:
Tellin u man its the simcard.
[HTC Sensation] jaycarag:
Thanks again for your inputs. :) It's much appreciated. I'll go to our local carrier and request for a new Sim Card. Hopefully it will resolve my problem. Thanks! :)
[HTC Sensation] nevrlow:
so did the new simcard work out for you?
[HTC Sensation] jaycarag:
Apologies for my delayed reply dude. I wasn't able to check XDA again til recently.

[LG Nitro HD] kernelpan1c:
Well I was going to create a ROM for the Nitro HD but my phone decided it wanted to hardware brick when I battery pulled, so that plans out the window for a while. While my ROM did work for half of the beta testers without issue, I can't say its safe enough for everyone to flash.

Anyways, this is NOT for flashing. This is for devs to create ROMs from. Its the /system of the Nitro HD on AT&T fully de-odexed. All I ask for anyone using this to please credit me.

This includes all stock applications and bloat, except Google Maps, and Polaris Office. You can pull Maps from Market or another ROM, its universal. I didn't try too hard to de-odex Polaris, theres better office apps anyways.

Download:

AGAIN, DO NOT FLASH ON YOUR PHONE. ITS ONLY FOR DEVS TO CREATE ROMS

I don't have have a straightforward (simple) answer to that. Some of the frameworks have dependencies, you just need to make sure they are included. I spent time figuring out what dependencies were needed.

If your building a ROM for the LG Nitro HD on AT&T, your welcome to use the files from the first post. All I ask for is a one line credit.

Hey guys HD2 refuses to stay powered on longer than 2 minutes without it being connected to a power source. I have HardSPL 2.08 installed, Radio: 2.15.50.14, and recently went back to Win 6.5 hoping the problem would be solved.

I found this app:

OTA RootKeeper

From the app description:

"A bonus feature is present, allowing you to un-root your device while keeping a su backup.

This way you can naively hide root until you choose to restore it via without further complications.

This nifty feature work on every rooted device.

** Temporary un-root statement **

This feature is designed for dev purposes in order to test their app with or without root.

The goal here is not to encourage stupid and unacceptable behaviors by movie or content sellers trying to prevent you to purchase or watch digital media you purchased if your device is rooted.

Vote with your dollars: Don't accept being a customer of companies restricting your freedom with defective and and inefficient technical measures."

Thank you, Election Day.

Fight against company or government is very painful and scary things for me as a person in Korea. There are many complains but concentrated protest was not found yet in Korea.

Fortunately, a Korean developer opens file/folder list which should be deleted prior to running smartbanking app. That could be helpful later if I find some tunable tools for temp unroot.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bnsonear:
Thank you very much el_psycho.

Your found is the exact what I want.

I just tested the app, but it requires some improvements against bank apps in Korea.

Therefore I leaved an appeal to the author of Rootkeeper.

Thank you for your advice again, el_psycho.
[General Questions and Answers] ibikemaniac:
Yup. I'm a Noob...

I was trying to install Cyanogen Mod and I ended up wasting the bootable image on my US T-mobile Defy.

I can get to the Boot menu, but it will not accept Cyanogen because it has the wrong signature. I tried a Factory update.zip from here on the forums, that didn't work either.

The phone had the latest from T-Mo. I believe it was Froyo.

HELP!... what are my options now?, besides getting a new phone!?

Have you tried re "upgrade" back to original via software update ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blakjak220:
OK, so I just upgraded from the original Evo 4G to the Epic 4G touch...

I see all these people debating whether or not to wait on Sprint's LTE network and 4G this and 4G that...

Am I the only one that has never had 4G coverage where I live and I get pretty decent 3G speeds so I guess I really dont care.. other than the fact that I'm paying $10/mo for "premium" data.. it's still cheaper than the other guys.

And by the time Sprint's LTE makes it to me (a relatively small town at about 200k), I'll have upgraded 3 more times... lol

I've used 4G when I travel and I guess I just haven't had that great an experience.. too much of a battery hog for the amount of speed increase gained..

Am I alone here?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ungovernable1977:

Hey Blak, i agree my bro. I live on a small rock in hawaii and ill probably upgrade atleast 2x more aka 4 years before i see 4g so i dont care at all. Im just happy that hopefully within 6 months ill have ICS. That will be fun. I dont mind the 4g thing at all.

I'm in the same position. I live in WV, and there's no 4G here. My 3G speeds are sufficient generally, but at the moment I'm not really in a position to care about LTE/WiMAX yet.

I'm not sure if this region will ever get 4G, to be honest.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] huskers15:
You are not alone. I live out in long island NY and I'm about an hour from the city and have yet to get 4g here. Even Verizon, att and tmo don't provide 4g out here.

That's what I thought... you just wouldnt know it from reading some of the posts around here..

Everyone talks about Sprint's crappy 3G and coverage... Well I guess I'm lucky because I get good speed and never drop calls where I'm at so 4G just doesn't matter all that much to me.. thanks for the replies

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
I'm in Alabama, north of Birmingham in a high tech community of just under 200k people and I doubt we see 4G anytime in the near future so that doesn't factor into my phone decisions. Overall I get really good 3G speeds (with the exception of a few mystery zones in the city) so I'm happy to wait and see how it plays out because I'm a frequent upgrader as well and have bought more than a few phones at full cost because I wanted them but had no upgrade available lol Sprint should really love me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bielinsk:
I have good 4g coverage and I keep it on all the time. I can go from 6am-11pm with about 30% left.

But frankly, I don't really use it unless I am watching hockey. And if I am doing that, I am draining the battery anyway.

This thread is reminding me to shut off 4g as 3g is much better on the battery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Eric1985:
I'm not to worried either. I'm on wifi every second at home cuz obviously saves battery and when I leave the house I make sure my 3G/mobile network is off so its not bringing in data so I only turn my 3G on when I wanna check FB, twitter something like that. Living here in central iowa I have never had a chance to check out 4G. A few friends have verizon and des moines has 4G which is half hr from me and they say its amazing. I go to chicago every spring for vacation I managed to get 4G on my evo hit and miss and wasn't nothing amazing IMO

[General Questions and Answers] Johan-SonyXperiaSupport:
If the phone wont charge via USB nor the wall socket you could try another USB cable at first. But if it makes no difference I think that you will have to get the phone examined at a repair center. Contact your local support team for info about repair centers in your area.

I have a problem.

I installed CM7 latest and everything went well.

But when the phone asks for pin code it accepts it but does not open the main screen and is trying to unlock although it has unlocked the phone cause I can see the operator. Seems that something is preventing the screen to open . Can you help with this problem. When I dont have my sim card CM7 WORKS WELL BUT when I put it back and restart same problem accepts the pin but does not open the main screen. I tried UCKL2 MODEM but it didn't help. Forgot to tell that all other roms I have installed open without any problem. Now I'm using NUMASX1 and it a good rom but I really would like to try CM7.
[HTC Amaze 4G] shirazir:
After swooning over my Amaze's screen for a week, I decided it would be wise to "not be a fool and cover your tool" as they so cleverly reminded us in sex ed. This in mind, I set out to find a screen protector that would keep my screen scratch free while showing off all 4.3 inches of it's beauty.

As it happened, my brother managed to snag me a Zagg InvisibleShield for somewhere in the range of $3 on a staff promotion. Normally InvisibleShields run you a pretty penny so naturally, my expectations were high.

As is rather apparent, the product is well packaged and comes bundled with some nice additions including an oversize cleaning cloth, a rubber squeegee and a bottle of application fluid. Of course, packaging doesn't protect your phone so let's get to it shall we?

The application process is rather different from your run-of-the-mill screen protector. This tedious process involves spraying the solution on your hands as well as the actual protective film. Upon applying the wet film onto your screen, you can slide it into place while it's still wet; which is rather nice if you're OCD about placing it perfectly. Once in place, the squeegee is used to squeeze out the applicator fluid and any air bubbles; this bit makes me a bit nervous as electronics and liquids don't get on rather well. Nonetheless, once applied the underside of the screen guard appears cloudy though this clears up overnight.

So what about the actual performance of the product, you ask. Well, this is were it falls short. I have no doubt about the protective qualities of the InvisibleShield, it seems like it can hold up to some pretty harsh treatment, my issue however is with the actual appearance and feel. Unlike traditional screen protectors, Zagg's offering seems to take on an "orange peel" texture once applied and while it's not blatantly noticeable, it's rather unpleasant when visible. Worse yet, the product is rather prone to smudging and not the easiest to clean. The deal-breaker for me however is the actual feel of the product, it's noticeably more "tacky" than the naked screen and makes dragging your finger around a bit difficult and at times rather annoying; this however is a matter of personal preference so don't take my word as the gospel.

Overall, I'm rather disappointed with the InvisbleShield from Zagg. While at $3, I'll bite my tongue and use it, I certainly wouldn't be happy paying the full $19.99 for it!

As I mentioned, your mileage may vary and while I'm not a fan, you may well be so take my opinion for just that, an opinion.
