ICS is already available, all u have to do is flash the roms

for fnck sake, you're the one that started this thread to saying android is below par (ios) and you wonder why people are defensive about it, you are the one that wants to compare it!

either stfu or put up with it

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hp79:
I feel what the OP was complaining about. iOS is so much smoother than Galaxy Note in general tasks, everyday apps. There, I said it.

I don't own an iOS, but my wife has iphone 4s, I had a ipod touch 4th gen before I upgraded to Nexus S. I just got the Galaxy Note yesterday, and I can see the screen stutters time by time. I know ICS will fix a lot of these because I have been using unofficial ICS on my Nexus S, and I really do like it. But with Gingerbread still on the Galaxy Note, it feels very outdated.

I tried different home screens, it was even worst experience than the default TouchWiz.

I chose to stay on Android because I like the customization. Otherwise, I would have went for iOS or Windows Mobile.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jeromepearce:
Exactly!

I am comparing the iPad 3 with the Galaxy Note 10.1, not because I would buy an iPad, but just to see what I would not get. Here is what I find I would get from an iPad:

Resolution is higher

Camera resolution is higher (but not higher than my 5.3" Note, and I would use that as a camera not a bloody great tablet!:D)

Processor is quad core [NOT - see below]. How much can a quad core be used when you can only use one app at a time, however?

ummmm.....?

What I get from my Note 10.1":

NO iTunes!

Widgets

Wacom pen (much more precision)

'super' AEOLED (or whatever)

Multi-tasking apps

Now if I campare with the Note 5.3", I get in addition:

portability

a phone!

That answers everything I need to know.

Best reply so far. People here just love to hate. I love both platforms and both have their flaws. To each his own.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LiquidNitrogen:
I've noticed an interesting phenomenon occuring on both the Android and Apple side:

1. Someone points out that x feature is missing from one platform, in terms of hardware or software

2. The people on the bandwagon ***** that person out, telling them to switch platforms or just shut up. Often they will say "We don't need X feature, which is why we don't have it." or "Go do this lengthy process to get X feature kinda sorta implemented if you want X feature".

3. Rinse and repeat.

Now this is very general and doesn't always happen but it's something we need to be aware of. As someone studying business and software, it's been beat into my head that there is only one true way to succeed when this situation happens - engineer it into the product and make it BETTER than the competitor.

So, instead of trolling or *****ing people out, I believe the correct procedure is to identify what features and benefits the competitor has and start working on engineering them into our platform in such a way that it is both better than the competitor's and it fits well with our current platform. We can always do better, and taking ideas from a competitor in this way is not in any way stealing - as long as you do not directly copy and change it significantly it's okay (see the paraphrasing versus plagiarizing arguement in education for a good example). And I'm not just talking about Apple here, I'm talking about any competitor.

If we put our energy towards making the platforms and apps better, rather than arguing or otherwise getting getting political/fanboyish, then everyone wins. People on our platform get that new feature, and the other platform has to step up their game so the people on the other platform either get the same feature or some other new feature. This is the basis of constructive competition that drives our economy.

Last but not least, if we consider the version of android that is SUPPOSED to be current (ICS), and compare it to iOS, they are about on par in many ways. Thus, I feel the sentiment about the OS being behind is rather lacking in strength compared to other ways in which the platform as a whole is "behind" its competitors. I feel that the OS itself is doing well in terms of being competitive with other products (ex. iOS). The main problem right now, in my view, is app quality, synchronization/ease-of-use, and getting companies to be better about updating their phones to the newest OS.

So I recently made an android app and published it to the market. However, when i search for my app on my Samsung epic 4g it doesnt show up. I know the app is there and it says that i have published it, but it doesnt appear on my epic. Any ideas why this is? In the manifest of the app i set the minSdkVersion to 5 so it shouldnt filter it out right? is there something special i have to add to the manifest for it to see my app?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Milyenair:
I downloaded this rom (AOKP27) the day build 27 was released and I haven't had a single problem. Haven't flashed anything since it came out. Today, for some reason, and I'm not sure if this is was even to cause of it, but I sent out a MMS to a group of 5 or so and immediately my phone started acting up. My power amp comes on and starts playing for no reason what so ever, but there is no sound. No sounds in games, you tubes nada. All of my notifications and ringtones default to unknown. I can change those and get sounds but it defaults back. I Restored a backed up ROM that I know worked just fine, and I still have all the same issues. Don't know if it's ROM, Kernel, Haptic.....and suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Melhouse:
Could it be that your headphone plug is acting up? My guess is that it "phantom" detects a headphone plug, and routes all sounds from speaker to the headphones. That also explains that PowerAmp starts..

I have the same issue, that sometimes audio is only coming out through the headphone plug even if it is unplugged.

In my opinion (also heard the same for many people) its more of annyoing pain than a "omfg it hurts so bad!!! " pain... But it also depends on where too you get it..

(muscle,fat,bone all play a factor)

I find the noise of the tattoo machine (most dont call it a gun) is more annoying than the actual tattoo its self...

And to best describe the sensation of a tattoo id say it feels like bee stings the first few minutes until your adrenalin kicks in ans makes it a more numbingly feel than anything...

I have 7 tattoos and where all done with a single needle (jail house style lol) and 1 professional tattoo. The single needle hurt way more because the needle takes more force and impacts the skin differently than a multi needle technique...

Id say get a small birth symbol on your calf or somewhere more muscular than a boney spot like your hand/foot/spine

And avoid soft fatty area ( if you have any like under your arms/pit area)

Never heard anyone say it feels like that... But then again not alot of people have been stung by a bee (or bees)

now there are more side effects to a natural bee sting (itching swelling allergic reaction ect. Ect.)

And a tattoo only has the itching/swelling after the area has been tattooed..

Unless you have an allergic reaction to the needles/ink/what ever step they do to prepare the tattoo..

It is a Buddhist mantra(a meditation chant). It can have varying meanings depending on the school of Buddhism. Roughly translated it means "behold the jewel of the lotus. In Buddhism, the lotus is revered as a symbol of being pure.

"Om mani padme hum" is a six syllable chant. Each syllable has its own meaning.

"Om" reminds you to be a symbol of generosity.

"Ma" reminds you to practice pure ethics.

"Ni" is for tolerance and patience.

"Pa" is for perfect perserverance.

"Me" is for concentration.

"Hum" is for perfection in wisdom.

It is one of the most oft used mantras, because it supposes the basic tenants of all of Buddhism. These paths are what Buddha followed to enlightenment.
