Presumably the same one you live under as you only reply to one point I make and yet again get it a little wrong....

Any itunes music prior to end 2009 is not drm free unless you pay yet again to make it so. Also movies and books are also locked in.

So unless you pay apple again for stuff you already bought you can't put previous stuff on other systems.

So your wrong saying itunes music is fully free if you own previous tracks for example.

Also check how apple users are forced into paying for new hw etc to use apple things they already own. http://m.guardian.co.uk/money/2011/may/21/apple-upgrades-itunes-version?cat=money&type=article

[Android General] alex2792:
Nowhere in the article does it say that Apple is forcing you to buy new HARDWARE, it's an OS issue so you just need to get Leopard(or snow leopard) in order to use the latest version of iTunes. There are in fact many apps that no longer support Tiger, because that OS is pretty ancient at this point.
[Android General] mistermentality:
Um when you have to pay for an os update OR else buy newer hardware that already has it that's still a big cost.

So you are at least admitting some people have to pay in order to use what they already bought. As it says?

Dave
[Android General] alex2792:
That's like saying that since only Windows 7 supports Internet explorer 9 anyone who wants to use this browser must buy a new PC. What kind of idiot would drop $600+ on a new Mac instead of spending $129 or less on Leopard. Hell, if you're that broke you can just torrent the damn thing for free.
[Android General] platyna92:
Apple is afraid that playing fair to lose customers because suing Samsung, HTC, etc...
[Android General] mistermentality:
What are you on about? W7 supports more than that so no its totally different. It would be more like saying you had to buy w7 to keep using your bought programs or to use pics you own.

So your saying if someone buys music its fine to force upgrades on them for extra cash?

What if they no longer want to upgrade or haven't the money...should they lose their access to music?

Dave
[Android General] alex2792:
Well Dave, I think we will just have to agree to disagree. It seems that you enjoy buggy software running on commodity hardware that gets pushed out the door on a weekly basis, while I prefer the finer things in life and don't mind paying a bit extra upfront. Now, if you excuse me I have to get back to Infinity Blade 2 :p
[Android General] mistermentality:
Lol ok will agree to disagree as my "buggy" android hasn't had the problems you keep associating with the os and I hardly think my glasses free 3D phone is commodity hardware :)

[Android General] blackchides:
Android has made great strides since the Donut days to the point where there is no resemblance between it and Ice Cream Sandwich. Most of the Android phones these days work fantastic out of the box, particularly the Samsung ones; it's just the enthusiasts who will tweak and flash new ROMs to suit their tastes. The latter is an option that isn't present with iOS, not entirely anyway beyond changing some themes here and there after jailbreaking.

Android today offers a lot of the UI polish that has been missing from before and it would be sad if any Apple loyalists would dismiss it based on opinion that was formed years ago. As a former iOS user, iOS just looks ancient right now compared to Ice Cream Sandwich. Apple really needs to up its game with its next software iteration.
[Android General] harsharip:
Surely apple will get suied by big community ex samy, HTC,moto,big. Brother. Google. Thats for sure lets hope that iPhone 5 sued real bad that apple won't get r&d money
[Android General] mcord11758:
Since they have not modified their.hardware or software much in 5 years it is hard to think the iPhone 5 would be anything other than slightly thinner with a better camera
[Android General] mistermentality:
Nope, its great fun actually as its a great phone plays hd films even on my tv and takes 3D videos :)

According to industry experts iphone 5 will have 4" screen, nfc and the a6 chip so it would be a big improvement if true.

[Android General] ferparedes:
The istuff in general are such nice products. They may have their failings, but they make up in polish... all this litigating bull**** from apple just tarnishes all of what they do well.

If they invested the money they've given to lawyers into development, Siri would work a lot better, be available in more languages, etc. You could've had less than horrible notification system for years, maybe widgets, etc.

I hope they either stop this crap and focus on their product or DIAF.

BTW, the iPhone 4S DOES have ****ty battery, as confirmed by all of my friends who own one and have not been brainwashed. None of them use Siri on a daily basis (in Mexico) and their conclusion is that the only really good thing about the 4S is the camera (which I've seen and is really good compared to my SGS's one). But they usually come apart in envy when I show them I've been on battery power for 10 hrs straight (and still have 60% batt) while their shiny 4S barely makes it to the 6hrs mark before dropping to 30% battery.

Ehi guys, Will we ever get hardware acceleration on our phones?

What do you think?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ert342:
Well they've got it over on the nexus one now for the most part, and it's got the same adreno 200 so hopefully!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] evilbarcode:
Yes we will. It will take time and a lot of patience on our behalves.

Now that texasice has backported/written the necessary drivers for our hardware to the Nexus One's 2.6.38 kernel, it makes things easier. But the only kernels available for the HD2 atm are 2.6.32 or 2.6.35-based.

So I guess what will happen now is the 2.6.38 kernel will now be ported (or once it is 100% working - not 80%-90% as texasice states in the N1 thread) for the HD2.

Check it out here.

[EVO 4G Accessories] clintwinstead:
Recently purchased this case and I must say it is fantastic. It's just thick or raised enough to offer excellent protection for the screen and the camera on the back, without adding to much overall bulk to the phone.

It's available in several different colors, but I went with the black because the chrome trim really pops off of the black, carbon fiber like finish.

Several sites have this cover but Fommy seems to have the best price.

Had a similar issue recently. When my device went to sleep it wouldn't wake 'normally' I could hear the volume up/down sounds but no picture. had to hold down for an extended period to reboot.

I checked what was using the most battery and it turned out to be "media" I had some issues w/ my ext SD card recently and noticed when I removed it all was fine.

so that was my solutions (as for why my SD card is giving me grief, that's anther yet to be determined issue) but atleast it 'wakes' normally and my battery doesn't drain like crazy.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asteetva:
Once we have LTE properly activated in most areas, will we still face the delays in custom rom support and also android software update delays? My understanding is that our phones having wimax for 4g is a major reason why our phones are not supported or we start getting support much later then GSM phones.

I am asking here because lot of people here have awesome technical knowledge and they post detailed specs etc regarding phones, technologies etc. If it does not belong here, Moderators feel free to delete this thread.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
It's not necessarily the 4G that's keeping us from having goodies. It's the CDMA (3g and 2g portion). Without these, the phone cannot function as a phone and that's why devs can simply drop 4g support when releasing major rom such as cm7. Once they get a stable base of everything working, then they can create their own 4g drivers to get 4g working. Many more can live without 4g than 3g. ;)

Watch out if you have unlimited data on your account. I've seen many customers come in after going to walmart or any other third party with their unlimited data taken off.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] KSoD:
I can say this is true. The fact is that Walmart doesn't have the ability in store to keep the unlimited data. The truth is that all Walmart can do is upgrade your phone and give you a cheaper price than AT&T. Anything that deals with your contract can't be handled through Walmart.

The Kiosk used to do the upgrade process is pre programmed with select options and there is no way anyone at Walmart can make core changes to the contract. So if the Kiosk forces them to put you on a LTE or Smartphone Data plan you will lose your unlimited data. From what I hear even calling customer care is causing issues for getting unlimited data back.

I can tell you this for fact and from personal experience. I work the connection counter and do upgrades all the time. So is the saving of $40 really worth your unlimited data? That is the real question.
