np. The ONLY reason that I know about that one is that I've had several tablets(Viewsonic gTablet, Pandigital Novel, Augen Gentouch 78, Nook Color, etc.) that didn't officially come with google apps(gapps henceforth) and that was one of the pitfalls that people normally ran into. There are also a couple of other workarounds that sometimes had to be done but were more along the lines of getting a functional market and shouldn't apply to devices that come with the complete gapps suite, or at least I haven't had any failures on phones or other "officially" supported(licensed?) devices.

Recovery mode doesnt seem to be an option for me right now. Weird. It wasn't working fine last week when i tried. Volume + UP and power button does absolutely nothing. Volume + Down and power button brings me to a message that says " A Custom OS can cause critical problems..." How do i get into recovery? I also tried using the "quick boot" program to boot directly into recovery mode and nothing happened. You will see the Galaxy Tab Plus screen, reboots, and then shows the galaxy tab plus screen again and then boots as normal.

Best bet would be to dump all your data on ur PC n format SD thru recovery. Since your PC is down, I'd create a partition in SD, dump your data there, and format the old partition..
[HTC Desire S] noytexz:
And how to create partitions? Can I merge the 2 partitions again?

Surely you must have access to another computer? Which will permit you to offload (copy) all the files that you want kept, so that you can format your sd card and then copy the files back

This is totally insane!!

How can this even be considered!

An extract follows:

"As strange as it might seem, U.S. Circuit Judge Richard Posner has ordered Google and Motorola to hand over development details of the Android operating system to Apple.Not only that, but Motorola Mobility must also provide Apple information regarding its pending acquisition by Google.The reason for this is the ongoing patent lawsuit filed by Apple back in 2010 against Motorola. To try and handle the situation, Motorola’s attorney responded to the judge’s demand:Google’s employees and documents are not within the ‘possession, custody, or control’ of Motorola, and Motorola cannot force Google to produce documents or witnesses over Google’s objections"

Apple has finally realized that their iPhone sucks it big time and need to steal from a bigger plate. Then act like it was their idea and call it iOS 6, with 200 new features that make no sense and no one will ever use, then charge an outrageous amount of money for it. As far as I am concerned, Their iOS is just old junk mac operating systems refined for a phone. There aren't making anything better, they just keep reworking old code with **** taken from cydia and other outside developers, then change the name of it, then sue the person who actually created it for copyright infringement. But hey, people are dumb enough to keep shelling out 300 to 400 dollars for the exact same os with some new tweaks, oh and a new beveled edge. Nice lol.
[General Topics] leo.benveniste:
However, they will still sell a gazillion iPhones and iPads. I personally don't like either (and pretty much hate them) however, they're obviously not bad, I just don't like the way Apple does things and Android feels much much better, from Google's side and specially from the community's side, it's just amazing what people (devs) can do with a few lines of code, I'm currently running ICS on my Motorola Defy, and it works a million times better than the stock Froyo!

I think than in a not too distant future, Apple will make some sort of change getting closer to the way Android does things, not only copying things like the notification bar, but with the release cycle for updates, and maybe even licensing the OS, obviously not now, but in a few years, I think it's a possibility if Android keeps gaining market share

Steve Jobs favorite quote "Good artists copy, great artists steal"

Can someone please lock up these blatant thieves. How is it possible that we have allowed Apple and other large corporations to completely abuse the USPO and the courts. They same companies that cry about piracy, also use the courts to protect their piracy. Hollywood steals ideas all the time, Crapple steals over and over again from everyone, music companies steal from artists, but we the people are the problem. Funny how the system is just a bunch of very rich people who have the right to guarantee they will get richer by stealing and then using our own courts against us and against free enterprise. This is criminal.

Bow down to Crapple. If you don't comply we will make you. We have the right to do what we want, even if it is a crime.

PS Apple didn't invent the majority of the patents they hold, they just stole them and the courts (wink wink) approved.

I find it ironic how many android fans are calling apple, "thieves" in this thread.
[General Topics] thebobp:
Why not? This isn't even part of the the normal copying of features (which I would question actually calling theft): apple is trying to force google to hand over their future plans. This is more or less the equivalent of corporate espionage.
[General Topics] z33dev33l:
Still ironic, given the fact that most of Google's revenue is generated by 'obtaining' people's information and hiding things in the fine print. Then, there's the CIQ fiasco of late and the fact that the UI as a whole was heavily inspired by iOS. I mean yeah, they took your notification bar but had it not been for iOS android would closely resemble blackberry, the previous OS they were stealing their ideas from. I'm just tired of seeing google treated like white knights when they are just as bad as any other company.

[General Topics] thebobp:
None of us have even suggested that google might be a "white knight". What we have been doing, and rightfully, is putting apple up as a bunch of miscreants. Our rooting for the victim of a grievous act has little to do with our support of the victim in other, completely unrelated manners. The fact that you just have to see our actions through a fanatic fanboy's lens belies an insecurity that forces you to just attack, attack, attack without even considering any other possibility.

I'd hate to burst your bubble, but there is no large company that has not engaged in questionable activity. The only real question is: just how questionable were the activities in which they've engaged? And by that measure, it's not looking very good for Apple, no sir'ee, not at all..
[General Topics] 85gallon:
Check out the wiki page on it. I went to Office Depot to get it when it went on sale only to find a notice about the injunction banning the sale. I forget how long it was but I was finally able to get one when the injunction was lifted.

The idea was long before the ipod. And I'll be dammed if the iPod doesn't look just like it.

Actually, I can't stand apple or their products. I just see no way in which google is not just as much a baddy in the given situation as apple is. Google has never done anything original. In everything aside from android they take an idea and improve it. With android they lacked the improving part and took from a company that's not a bunch of pacifists.
[General Topics] mistermentality:
I'm an android user and I wasn't affected by ciq either. But your only points were that google might hide things in the fine print, as most companies do anyway, and the vague assertion that android copied iphone.

[General Topics] c5satellite2:
It is all stolen from Unix. Windows, apple, android. And the idea of a GUI on top is a Xerox idea. And most of the mobile end is from Palm and Windows mobile. What exactly did Apple invent? Nothing. Period. And last time I checked I have been moving my finger for years before Apple allegedly patented that(not really patentable), and someone else filed for that one two years before Apple.

And having a program interpret data and then choose which program to open it with is not an apple idea either. Windows had already been doing this for a long time. Put in an audio cd and it opens it with an audio program, put in video it opens it with a video program, etc.

Apple is abusing the courts and patent office. Most of their patents are not patentable ideas. This is not what the patent office was created for. This is code not an idea or invention. Copyright the code, no patent. Ultimately this is only stifling innovation and costing us money while large corporations like Apple are using the USPO to further line their pockets. How much cash does Apple have now? 50 billion+? How much is enough? And Steve Jobs never gave a dime to charity?

Its true apple stole from zerox and got away with it. Jobs made it clear he had no qualms about stealing ideas, to be fair apple did well by modifying others ideas but then they went and patented them as their own and started suing everyone and that's just wrong of them.

You do realize Android is still fundamentally the same dont you? You also should understand that UI is on a non touchscreen device.

Even today, its still fundamentally the same.
[General Topics] z33dev33l:
Actually, the prada was the first capacitive screen on a cellphone, I had touchscreen phones well before that and they were terrible. Iphone did come out first so that part was null and void, android was released MUCH later in terms of tech timelines. Android switched to touchscreen input, changed the UI completely to look like a low-end iphone, and tried to offer a similar look to appeal to those who wanted iphone but weren't on ATT. It was awesome but it was, and is, a low-grade imitation.
[General Topics] hungry81:
In what way does android look like a low end iphone? It looks and functions more like a high end wm 6.0. You know, one of the many mobile O/S in existance before apple produced ios. Android should not have to hand over development secrets.
[General Topics] z33dev33l:
Functions similar to winmo, yes. I certainly wouldn't say the quality of the experience is better. It looks nothing like winmo though, looked similar to Blackberry prior to their first peeks at the iPhone when they began copying the UI.
[General Topics] hungry81:
This article disagrees with you. According to it android has had multiple development versions and touchscreen devices have always been supported from the very first SDK

Iphone did not come out before android, and I meant capacitive touchscreen as that is one of apples patent claims but I didn't make it obvious so apologies for that.

But getting back on topic, as its started to get way off, surely ordering companies to give rivals their development details is wrong or suggests a legal system skewed in favour of the big firms?

Exactly my point...the first release of android already had touchscreen before the release of ios.

If android had it before public release of ios, if they always had it, how can you say they copied it when as you say for ios android also wasn't built overnight and as ios is closed and android still had touch first they can't have copied.

You are trying to argue that an older system, android, copied a newer one, ios, by adding a feature that was never added to android later but was always there.

Apple fans care for no one else

Agreed, Android is seen as an open alternative to Apple Inc, not blameless and pure. However Apple and MS might be "better the devil you know" but certainly not the "lesser of two evils." Or three as it might be argued.

I find it quite interesting in all fanboi actions, that while they hate on Android/Google, they don't seem to hold curious admiration for any non idevice even if its not Google. Be it RIM, Mozilla, MS, WebOS, or name any other possible player for that matter. Which is why I view Apple and its fanbois as unreasonable haters bent crushing competition. SJ is quote as wanting to destroy android for basically stealing his IP but no heed is given at all to the line about competition being healthy. Maybe because they knew that part was BS in SJ and Apples eyes.
