Lol you can do whatever the hell you want in this world, just as long as you have the money to pay for it. Apple getting patents and suing people just shows how much money they have to wipe their asses with. And there's a reason why they have so much money, they put out High Quality and Dependable products. Samsung is a major competitor to apple because their lines have been claimed as the best android phones around, so of course Apple has them in their crosshairs (you can't lie the s3 white kinda looks like an iPhone. And past galaxy s phones somewhat mimic past iPhone looks). But even with that said they're not as dependable or don't receive as great/speedy updates as iDevices do. iDevices get all the new cool apps and games first, good support and they almost do everything an android can . Problem with android is there is hundreds of phones with different hardware. Making it so hard for developers to make apps on android to keep everyone happy. They literally have to make different versions and patches for their apps for specific gpu's and such, and a lot of times you wont get a certain app or game for awhile or not at all compared to iDevices. Also lets not forget the bugs with android, i know I have to flash fixes or roms to make it more stable or speedy, when iDevices dont require many fixes just mods to your liking. And that's why Apple is top dog making the most money. There have been so many "iPhone killer" phones that came out that didn't live up to its claim. All they can hope for is market share. S3 being one of those phones people are expecting to kill the iPhone, which sadly won't happen. S3 is gonna be a great phone but it already lost a good number of hopeful customers with the removal of the quad core processor. And the Siri copy cat.... Its a iPhone rip off pretty much. No wonder Apple is suing, I would.

I'm not an Apple fan boy. I love both OS for their own unique differences and own both. Just saying.... Apple is top dog, and will do anything and sacrifice all resources required to keep it that way.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dakpluto:
Actually Apple WAS granted at one time a patent for rectangular phones, lol. Like most patent law that goes to the courts, the patent was modified to something more strict and less broad.

The problem really isn't Apple, or any other cell phone company. They ALL do the lawsuits, but that's because the US Patent system is so ****ed up they have too. Patents are handed out like candy and written so broad that just about anything violates a patent. So neither Apple or Moto or Samsung is the issue. It's the damn patent office.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] roughneckboren:
I've owned both and android is by far superior. IPhone is dumbed down to make it "Easy" which is OK for some. Android is way more about the user. And if people say about the force close thing then they are idiots. IPhone just freezes. It don't show a message about it.

As far as jailbroken vs rooted jailbreaking is easier but the lack of customization on iPhone even after is attrocious. Android customization takes skill but with practice becomes second nature. I myself have spent weeks learning just to decomp/recomp (the actual process no customizing) but it makes it worth it for me to have total control.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] MaxCarnage:
I transitioned from Windows Mobile to iOS and it was an amazing experience. I don't take anything away from Apple when it comes to re-thinking the smartphone; they created a whole-new mobile experience and I loved all my iPhones until I unwillingly transitioned to Android to get away from AT&T. Honestly, I went through a love/hate relationship with Android until I started getting into the community here. The Nexus S remains the best Android phone I've had, though I wouldn't go back to non-4G connectivity on a dare.

Anyway, the point of this is that I went back to an iPhone after a year or so with Android and it just wasn't the same. At first it was cool and I thought that all was right again, but the smaller screen and walled-garden environment just ended up being boring. Now as Apple really ramps up its attacks against Android to the detriment of the consumer I just wouldn't be able to justify buying another Apple device to myself.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dakpluto:
yeah, only thing that left me excited was the Passbook app. Sounds like an interesting idea, and I see it becoming far better with NFC. Really seems like its a precursor to NFC being in the next phone. And with that comes for more NFC in the retail market in general. Apple has the following power, if they go NFC, then the markets will jump into it faster. And that benefits us more also.

I did expect the iOS news to be a little boring though. Expect the really new stuff to come with 6.1 and the new phone later this year.

My guess is some will stick some won't. Which products and countries is anyone's guess.

My hope is that RIM Google Samsung Apple Kodak and all the others sue each other into the ground. There's always been patent battles but they kicked it up a notch recently.

I'd like them to kick it up just two more notches. That should be enough to give them pause and start to look at the patent system we have. Little known fact is that title 35 has no software clause. Everything is decided on prior litigation. With the field exponential growth that's no longer viable.

But I agree. Sammy just put some BS down to make the list look longer. Some Apple fans made a mock of this picture but they made the iPhone list longer by doing the same thing.

To be honest this is incredibly stupid. Samsung should let the phone do the talking. Really, there's no excuse for the iPhone 5 to not be at least as good as the S3 seeing how the S3 is several months older.

If the court system had any sense I would say it won't happen, then again Apple won the last go....

It seems like Apple has plummeted in the mobile business since Steve Jobs passed. He wouldn't let the iPhone 5 happen. Granted, he might've taken more features from Android, but he would've at least made sure that it was clear that the 5 was a large enough step up from the 4 so that people wouldn't question it. Now Apple's just rushing for money. They're making a smaller iPad to mimic the Kindle line. Why can they do that, but Samsung can't use squared corners on phones?

Yeah. A friend of mine had camped for it and picked me up after school Friday. I compared his to my 4, and the only huge improvement is LTE. Granted, that's a big step. But if you're not in an LTE country you might as well buy a 4S.

Any of you tempted to buy this?

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/220900016894?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

I was thinking you could Saran Wrap it for good measure.

You could use it as a

-$700 speedometer

-GPS turn by turn

-Texting while riding :eek:

Hoping that the whole unit doesn't fall off, let alone the Note falling off by itself.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] krypton_the_slayer:
I have serious concerns about these. They use the same plastics and mounts as the car mounts, several of which I have broken. Its one thing it falling off in a car, but on a bike doing 20mph on concrete? Scary thought :eek:

Rubber band to attach to handle bar? Only two corners and the opposite side secured of our expensive phone?

I feel it's not gonna last very well during any kind of bumpy riding nor is it gonna stay at fixed position because of that rubber band used to attach to handle bar.

At least the Capdase model I'm looking at has proper mounting. Not so sure about how well the actual phone mount secures our Note considering how wide and thin our phone is.

I bought a Galaxy Nexus a few weeks ago from the Play Store and was wondering if it was normal to be able to see the notification light(not pulsing) in somewhat well lit or outdoor areas. In areas with poor lighting, it's hard to tell, but it's easily visible outdoors. Is this is a common issue? From all the videos I've seen on the Nexus, the bottom areas are always flush black.

I don't see how this could ever be construed as an "issue". You are just seeing the space in the glass where the LED is meant to shine through. Its not a problem, it's just how it's built.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antispiral:
I'm thinking of preordering the Galaxy S III for Verizon and I have a few questions. Currently there is 14 months left on the main line on my account(it has 4 lines total), but the account is discount eligible and I can get the phone with a discount and 2 yr contract renewal.will this cause any problems down the road later? I got a droid charge like last September or October.

Also, once I get the galaxy s III do I have to activate it on the line I used to upgrade from or can I just plug another 4g sim card from one of my other lines(Rezound) into it?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vertig0:
Per you contract you need to keep the phone activated for 30 days under the line with the upgrade. But no body does that... I get the phone and call to swap when I get home. no biggie.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tillithz:
no you dont need to do 30 days either, you can use the upgrade from one phone on your family plan for another phone on that same family plan. In fact IF you were to go into the store they would do it for you. btw, careful pre ordering on line you lose your new every 2 (if you still have it) discount for future upgrades.
