I think every company with mobile patents should band together and share patents, just briefly, to sue Apple. End this once and for all. Samsung, HTC, Microsoft, Motorola, RIM, Palm, LG, and anyone else. Burn them to the ground.

can someone please try to explain why apple decides to bring up these patents within a FEW days before this phone is out.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] .jond:
Apple is getting desperate. Their little fisher price phone is old and turning into a joke next to Android.

Most of Apples stock price is due to cell phone sales, so they should be scared.

I predict Apple will be bankrupt again in 5 years.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] typhoonikan:
Eh, I disagree.

Compared to Google, Apple has their stuff together.

Google's aggravating flaw: They 15 versions of Android OS between how many devices. Android OS distribution has to be fixed.

I'm not saying that Apple products are inherently better- I enjoy having an open, customizable phone that is more than a screen of icons, and having superuser permissions.

VS.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fachadick:
They didn't. They brought it up last year. The judge said that HTC had until mid or late april (I forgot the exact date) of this year to fix the issue. ITC just hasn't gotten around to checking HTC's claim that they fixed it yet. This shipment is the first import since that date passed.

The more you know...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] grayn0de:
Underhanded, anti-competitive business tactics. This is the way Apple has always operated. Why is anyone surprised by this?

This is what they know is bound to happen (mind you, not with everyone):

1) Consumer sees delay in release of pre-ordered smartphone.

2) Consumer feels slighted and blames HTC/Sprint/Seller

3) Consumer says "Screw them/it... I'm getting an iPhone."

4) Apple profits...

Sad but true. This is business as usual in the Patent Age.

Doubtful... They still have other products outside of the mobile sector and a LARGE cache of patents to keep this going until something is done to prevent it.

Why does it have to be fixed? If iOS doesn't exist is there a problem with fragmentation? Should I automatically get upgraded to Windows 8 because I bought a computer with Windows 7?

Truly I don't see it as a huge issue. The open nature of Android is what makes it great. The only way to mimic Apple's distribution model is by BECOMING Apple. Of course if you have 4 phones and 3 tablets with the software completely locked down it is easy. You said it your self there are how many phones running android on all sorts of different hardware and UI changes? It would be impossible to have them all running the same version of Android in the same time frame as Apple but who cares? If that truly matters to you buy an Iphone. I have had a blast with Gingerbread on my 3D and playing around with different ICS roms(please do that with an Iphone)

You call it a problem I call it options. Some are low grade running older versions you and I wouldn't touch, but it allows those of a different income to afford a Smart phone. Some people like a physical keyboard, some like big screens, some like smaller screens. Some people like Sense or TW and others plain old Vanilla AOSP. You are telling me all those options are worse than Google locking down Android and releasing 1 to 2 phones/year all made by Motorola(considering they own it) just so you can get the latest version quickly , because that is the only way? WHY?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] litlepyro:
I dont believe this is a valid argument. IOS has had several different versions of each. Why don't we change the android graph to only reflect the major version for example just 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0. The graph would look much different. We can easily branch out IOS with its multiple version history too and it would look much different as well. This graph doesnt even show IOS 1.0 or its couple of different varients ending with 1.1.5

honestly APPLE is the most UNPATRIOTIC company in the business from using slave workers with the highest SUICIDE rate in the industry, to using﻿ the most important part of our homeland security, Customs Border Patrol to delay Phones that beat them HTC ONE X/Evo 4G LTE. The highest percentage of TAX payer budget for homeland security goes to the CBP we TAXPAYERS have to pay for Apple's BULL****..

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] twigs187:
You cannot be serious :rolleyes: P.S. those factories with all of those suicides make more than Apple products..Where's your outrage for them?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] detcup4evr:
My biggest problem is the fact apple doesn't seem to be enforcing the patent uniformly.

If they let 1 slide then all should slide, Crapple should be forced to uniformly inforce their patent or give it up.

The same should occur with all patents inforce for all or none, and put a 2 year inactive clause on it.

2 years after release if u choose to ignore enforcing ur patent then u basicly give it up.

I can think of a number of devices that do that, and a number of apps that do that as well.

I will be sending Thaddus (my congress men) a letter shortly asking for patent reform that includes uniform patent enforcement

This is what is infurating to me about this.

My understanding is that this patent essnetially covers the ability for the device to turn a telephone number or email address in the messaging app or web browser into an executible hyperlink.

My Palm Treos were doing this in 04!

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ThrowingKs:
They filed for this patent in 1996. It was awarded in 1999.

But, I believe the patent is for opening a menu on the parsed phone number or email address. HTC fixed this by not opening a menu upon click, but by launching the default application.

Borland Sidekick had these abilities in the 80s.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
I'm a bit confused. I mean, regardless of what HTC/sense does, this feature is part of Google's code, right? I mean, I'm still using my OG Evo 4g with AOKP Android 4.0 on it, and the links work as they always have. So is apples argument that all OEMs MUST put a skin on Android that disables this feature?

I intend to rip sense off my Evo LTE as soon as possible and run AOKP or any AOSP ICS ROM on it, so this feature will work regardless.

But it does really piss me off that apple is forcing people to cripple their OS, and especially when apple doesn't even use the feature themselves in Their own damn OS!

BOYCOTT CRAPPLE NOW!

Personally if I see someone using an iDrone or iFad they get an earful, then I ignore them. I do not fraternize with sheep.

Enforce a new class policy, shutout Crapple users. They are supporting the evil empire. No tolerance.

They willingly give money to Crapple, then it is used against you and people around the globe in many ways. They blatantly game the tax system, and abuse the patent and court systems. They are supporting the enemy, therefore they are the enemy.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] OOHnirav:
Is this satire, or are you actually a crazy person? If you actually do this (give an earful to a random apple user and then ignore them), I honestly wouldn't put any blame on him/her for slapping you in the face with the phone.

As someone who still has an Evo preordered, posts like these make me feel the same shame I did for being associated with Apple users when I bought an Apple Powerbook in 2004. This is the exact same "everyone vs us" mentality that many Apple users had back then that annoyed the rest of us to death. You need to understand the same thing Apple users needed to understand back then. Different people have different preferences.

What Apple did is annoying me due to having to wait a few extra days to get my phone, and hopefully something can be done in the future to prevent lame delays like happening again, but there's no need to be an overdramatic drama queen about it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] woody296:

I guess we have to cater to morons now. Crapple is one of the absolute worst companies out there. They don't care about people, just their money. They steal, enslave, pollute and don't pay taxes. If nobody bought their product, guess what, they go out of business. Educate yourselves. Then educate others. I choose who I give money to very carefully. I will not bow to people who are uneducated and don't care. They are the problem. Stand up and fight, if you are unwilling to fight, don't complain, and don't tell someone that they shouldn't.

I hate Apple as much as anyone else but realistically we don't need to send them hate mail. If we really want change we need to send cordial and informative input to our state representatives in order to change the patent system in the US as a whole. This way we stop BS like this from ever happening again to anyone, the only ones losing this "patent war" is us as consumers all because company "A" wants to keep patent "X" exclusive or company "B" from using something they believe is their "intellectual property". What if Microsoft or anyone else had patented the hyperlink where would be be today? All this garbage needs to go away so the industry can move forward without having lawyers design their phones for them.

This is just a microcosm of the corporate landscape. They all need to be dealt with. Crapple is one of the top offenders. DeBeers is another.

Didn't know Verizon is paying negative taxes, good to know. I wonder if that number has to do with govt money used for infrastructure.

Crapple is bad. Just do the research. They blatantly steal, literally enslave humans in China, treat their US employees terrible(Jobs emotionally abused them), have 100 billion+ cash, abuse and manipulate the patent system and courts to an all time high, and refuse to pay taxes.

Look it up. All true. They are a top 10 offender.

How could you do business with a company like this in good conscience?

PS How many macs are infected now running a botnet? How many iPhones have literal spy software on them? Crapple won't admit, doesn't care, instructs employees to never say the "v" word(virus) and really doesn't care much once you are a customer. Do they provide detection tools to tell you if your iPhone has been compromised? They don't care if you get busted for kiddy porn, grand theft, or anything else your mac might be doing in the background without your knowledge. They don't care if your spouse, boy/girl friend, boss, family member, or anyone else has bugged your iPhone. Keep giving them your hard earned money. FOOLS!

ON TOP OF IT ALL, A MAC RUNS INTEL HARDWARE, OS IS BASED ON UNIX(SOUND LIKE WINDOWS) BUT IT IS MORE THAN TWICE AS MUCH. iPHONE IS MOSTLY MADE BY SAMSUNG(CPU&DISPLAY), AND IS WAY OVERPRICED.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] woody296:
I would be interesting to find out what causes the hatred in these anti-apple people. A normal person Really wouldn't care that much one way or another, but someone really shamed these people when they were young and vulnerable. I hope it wasn't a priest/alter boy deal, or maybe the kid next door had a puppy and you didn't, or maybe a daddy and you weren't sure who yours was? But any way, i wouldn't post a whole lot more if your anger runs that deep. It just makes it that much easier for the authorities to convict you for the crimes you commit when you aren't here.

Hmm ..to all you Google lovers:

Wow you know ALL these companies, Apple, Google, Microsoft and the Government and the Banks are all "pulling trains" on some private island laughing about how they are so much smarter than ALL of us lower class humans. The "American Government" has required ALL phones to have citizen spy capabilities and backdoors not the least of which is GOOGLE! see:

infowars.com/investigation-government-ordered-cellphone-companies-to-spy-on-users/(plenty of links to original news sources in this article)

You're telling me that I should hate Apple and love Google because when Google bends me over they say please and let me watch free vids? Honestly Android and iOS are both cool, the companies are both fine but behind they scenes they are probably both corrupt, so what matters? All that matters is WHEN CAN I GET MY HTC EVO LTE!!

However when it comes to patents and copyrights they are basically a corporate monopoly tool adopted from Monarchy Law. Not to mention that NO patents are actually developed in a vacuum of knowledge, they ALWAYS leverage information that someone else has done or discovered. I mean who patented making fire or smelting? Human evolution is based on building on each others ideas and for our world to reach its full potential, information and knowledge need to be freely available and shared!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nukezeos:
So after I became impatient waiting for Motorola to release their official ics update for the me860 I decided to try and unlock my bootloader and flash on jokersax's excellent cm9 rom (I must say its sexxay) but now when I go to settings -> about phone it says my phone model is mb860 instead of me860. Now I understand that mb860 is branded as the atrix 4g and mainly distributed in America whereas the me860 is not branded as the atrix 4g and is mainly distributed in Asia and Europe but their hardware are still the same. My question is can I treat my phone as mb860 and flash mb860 roms on it or is it still an me860 that thinks it is an mb860???

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chhapil:
hi,

i'm annoyed with two features that are missing in the native dialer on ICS.

1. While swapping calls it always asks for holding previous call or to end it. I can't simply switch to another call keeping on hold the other one.

2. If we type any number during call in the dialer, it just vanishes after the call ends! Its normally needed when you take down a number from someone to dial later

any workarounds?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
No workaround for 1.

But a suggestion for 2.:

When in a phone call, just push the Home button and open a note/text editor app.

Then make your notes for later use.

Continue your phone call ... multi-tasking !
