[Android General] tech_head:
I think tablet makers need to rethink. It's a hard feel for Android tablets about 8" when you can get an iPad2 for $399, or the new iPad for $499. If you are willing to do a refurb, you can get an iPad2 for a low as $319. So if you are making a 8"+ Android tablet you are going to hear, "Why buy Android if I can buy iPad for cheap or cheaper?"

Now the 7" tablet market is owned by Android, because there is no 7" iPad.

Before you start calling me a "fanboy", I've owned a DroidX, Bionic and Razr. My wife has a Bionic and my daughter a Charge.

I have a Nook Color running CM7.

I recently got an iPad2. iOS has smoothness Android can only dream of. That being said, I wouldn't trade my Razr for an iPhone.
[Android General] alunral:
Only the iPad is not cheaper. Take a look at the Transformer line. Everything about them is a higher spec. Except the "Retina Display", which is damn near pointless anyway. iOS is not suited for tablets, from what I've seen. ICS, however, having two different builds, is. At the same price, or lower.

You've obviously not tried something that was MADE with Android OS in mind. The Nook Color was NOT. You are running CM7, a build of android NEVER meant to be run by the makers. The smoothness you talk about? My Transformer beats the iPad into the ground. Don't talk like you know something when you're only using a hybrid device for a tablet. (And I had a Nook Color prior to the Transformer. Amazing device, and worked perfectly fine. For a sub $200 device, the Nook Color didn't need that smoothness.)
[Android General] GFXs:
I don't think that the iPhone will beat Android, if apple continues to release new iPhone versions only once a year Android will outdistance it
[Android General] blabliblabla:
I guess there will always be enough space for different plattforms. Android, Windows and iPhone. There is a lot that could be improved in the Android operating system, but still I like it the most.
[Android General] Traniz:
The words "locked" and "HTCDev" seems to be the reason for it as well:D
[Android General] bronies:
How is Android dead? lol ._.
[Android General] RickPinto:
On my opinion, android is far from dead. Though it's not perfect, it isn't far from that either.

The iOS is the one stuck on time...

Here in Portugal, for the same amount of money that i use to buy an iphone 4S, i can buy two SonyEricsson Arc S, or even one Samsung Galaxy S2 along with two Galaxy Gio's.

The U.S. Market simply cannot be compared to the rest of the world and never used for worldwide statistics.

Just my two cents...

(I have an Evo 3D and an Asus Transformer)
[Android General] retsam88:
This is shortly going into flamewar.

iPhone users got their own section, Android got their own section too. Move away everybody, nothing to see here ;)

Also, if you are THAT curious, check post numbers/forum activity on both iPhone and Android section. Both are far from dead.
[Android General] trevd:
A Waste of My Time

Ooohhh

did some mention flamewar. I'll grab a seat and might open the betting on who gets compared to Hitler first. :)

I love these type of threads on forums, they achieve nothing, It remind me of having the PC vs Amiga argument when I was a kid (obviously the Amiga was better, but you all knew that right :) )

Also I thought the thread was going to be related to some spectacular zen like bricking method! I feel mislead and want my money back!

But now that I've had the heads up that Android is dead I'll be sure to delete everything android related.

Here's Some Pointless Over Analysis

Market Share wasn't mentioned In the original article He's talk about Profit Share of the Industry. So the IPhone which I reckon if you were to buy it out right make an healthy profit for Apple were as a Mid Range/Budget Android tablet will have a quiet a tight margin.

I hadn't noticed actually because of my AdBlock but he's got a couple of Books for sale on amazon. call me cynical ....

I'd write more but It's not Important and I can't be bothered, :)

I will end by saying "I know you have a black cat but mine is blacker" and IPhones are for girls

Flame On! :D
[Android General] retsam88:
Oh dear, here we go..
[Android General] adelmundo:
The biggest thing that keeps Apple profitable is the subsidies by the phone companies. You remove those subsidies, as they have in some countries, and the iPhone sales are hurt in those countries, while Android, because they have so many models with both low prices and high prices, are doing very well in those countries. Remove the subsidies, and Apple will NOT be as profitable because sales will drop, out they would have to reduce the huge mark up of their phones.
[Android General] mistermentality:
I'm in a country where iphones are carrier subsidised yet despite that subsidy androids sell better than iphone.

I think its partly that here at least some android phones are advertised better on tv and people realise there is strong alternatives. Also people tend to consider purchases more carefully in a recession.

In Europe Android is beating apple in smartphone sales and yet a number of countries offer subsidies so it must be more than simply lack of iphone subsidies that is helping android do better.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lnrt:
Hi Guys,

I'm having strange troubles with my galaxy S1 i9000

Problem: Phone wil auto reboot as soon as you put in the battery no buttons have to be pushed anymore to make it boot up !

When it boots up it only does that for a few seconds, just enough to see the samsung logo then it goes off again.

Download mode is to be accessed but only for a few seconds, no mather what it shuts down completely and starts over.

Recovery mode is not working at all !

Download mode: time too short for my pc to recognize the usb device.

How did this happen ? The phone was currently running on ICS_4.0.3_MR1-RC4.2_I9000 with no major problems !

I only had some problems with use of few apps and the camera but that was fixed with a fix permissons setting. (that was earlier that day)

The error occured during the charging of the battery that evening, it just started booting over and over :confused:

The only way to stop this is pulling out the battery, but when it is inserted again it starts rebooting again.

Also I opened up the phone to look inside for dirt or other problems also cleaned out the usb port and other holes with compressed air. the inside looks okay to me all buttons feel fine too.

I already searched this forum about this problem there were few who had 'similar' problems but they were lucky to have warranty my phone is beyond that I supose with 2 years of age :(

The ones with warranty send it back to repairs and got it working again after a software mod and an hardware replacement they do not know or said what the hardware replacement was...

Hopefully there is someone who know's this problem and can suggest how i can fix this ?

Thanks in advance !

Does the download more works? Try to push VolDown+Home+Power even if it is

in this bootloop. After some time I think it must show the yellow logo of download

mode... Did you try it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lnrt:
Yes I tried this... As I said it will go into download mode (with the yellow logo) but only for a few seconds then it reboots !

I also tried it with a Jig but with same result :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuig:
I had the same problem yesterday, running off FW 2.3.6 . Kies wanted to update the firmware, but it stopped after 15 %, and basically trashed the OS.

Phone kept booting by itself, and shut off by itself.

The trick here was to take out sim, and mem card, use VOL UP ( not down ) , select ( bottom ) and then power.

Then i could do a factory reset ( you get the screen with the options )and with Odin i could load a old 2.3.4 FW.

maybe this helps ?

GR r
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lnrt:
Well i've made some progress in the rebooting problem !

The phone is not auto-booting anymore it just stopped doing that after continiously trying to get it in download or recovery mode.

However I got it in download mode and was able to flash the rom to stock via odin !

Now the device is working again but there still is one problem the on/off switch seems to be broken !

Once it rebooted via odin it could not be turned off the normal way, only by pulling out the battery.

So I opened up the phone again and found out that on the flatwire towards the on/off switch it has a tiny round scratchmark probably caused by the leverage witch holds the plastic button in place on the edgecasing of the phone.

I'l try to get a picture of this here:

On the left side you have the button, al little to the right in the flatwire there is a dark spot ! that is where the wire is damaged !

So if anyone knows where I can buy a new powerbutton ? Feel free to contact me :)

Already ordered parts online ! so I think the phone will be fine next week !

Thanks for the help and suggestions !

with this informations:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] leoni1980:
As an owner of both Samsung and Apple products I think I'm in a position to give a fair opinion on things. The one thing that really gets to me sometimes however is the assumption that Apple are always the pioneer of things, and that if any other manufacturer has a similar feature then they MUST be ripping Off Apple.

This is NOT the case with S-Voice.

The reason I bring this up is because, in light of the introduction of the Galaxy S3, people have been quick to decide that Samsung is ripping off Apple AGAIN with this product. 'It's just like Siri' people are quick to assume. Well as a British user of Siri I beg to differ, and I present these points to the doubters:

S-Talk - is simply a contraction of Samsung Talk, the name given to the Vlingo based app brought about by double tapping the Home button on the Galaxy S2. This app was integrated into the product at launch, and can do many of the things that Siri can do, though with less effective natural speech algorithms. The fact remains though that Samsung integrated a hardware-button-linked voice command feature into the i9100 a full SIX MONTHS before Siri was even announced. What we have here is two large companies buying into a voice command feature created by another company (Siri, in Apple's case; Vlingo in Samsung's case). Both of these pieces of software are or were downloadable for older devices in a less effective way upon release of the respective handset.

So with the S3 Samsung have taken it a step further. With the S3 I will be able to do a huge number of things I cannot do with Siri, such as changing the volume, switching cellular connections on and off and even getting information on businesses in the UK. What a revelation. These are all things I want to be able to do with Siri but can't because Apple, in their infinite wisdom, decide that we don't need these features for the time being. Samsung have beaten them to it. So just as Siri improved upon Vlingo in the S2, six months down the line this improves on Siri in the 4S.

It's natural evolution.

So who's ripping off whom?

I don't think Samsung help their own cause sometimes: the obvious digs at Apple in their adverts are disappointingly childish in my opinion; but I just don't get what they've done wrong here. Are we just supposed to bow down to Apple as the inspiration for voice command just because it was the only compelling feature on their latest phone, on which they spent millions of dollars to ensure that we were blinded by the hype around its features?

I'd be interested to hear everyone else's take on this.

Neither Apple nor Samsung has done anything special other than develop an app based upon third party software....the phrase "rip-off" is a flagrant disconnect of understanding..
