[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] McDV:
Apple's products are not bad at all. Some time ago I thought about buying an iPhone and before I had my Xoom I had two iPads.

But there are some things I absolutely hate:

1) Apple does everything to prevent the user from using the devices the way he wants it.You canonly use what Apple offers in it's eco-system and of course you have to pay them. Android lets me do what ever I want. Even here on XDA many devs offer their apps for free, besides the Play Store. With Apple that's only possible with Jailbreaking - and Apple does everything to prevent that.

2) For the user innovation is important. But Apple wants to knock out their competitors. Why? Because then they don't need any progress on their devices anymore, if the user has no choice. So even Apple-fans should see that it would not be good for them, if Apple wouldn't have any competitors left. Unfortunately those Apple fanboys don't get that...

They don't want to sell their products because they are the best. They would like to sell them, because there were no alternatives...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slider112:
This, 100%.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kennnny1:
This is incorrect. Apple did not receive this patent until 2011.

"Awarded to Apple in December 2011 (after Apple filed in 2004), the “unified search” patent covers the combining of search results from your local computer (which, for the purposes of this case, means your Galaxy Nexus) with Web-based search results. For example, a search for “angry birds” on your Galaxy Nexus would include apps stored on your phone in addition to results on the Web."
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bozzykid:
8,086,604 was filed in 2004 but is based off 6847959 which has references all the back to 1995.

I have never been an apple fan nor a Microsoft fan. I was just stuck with Microsoft until I was educated in that lovely thing called ubuntu. The only reason I'm even running windows is because I have to for school.

Oops
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
OH YEAH! A UK court has denied yet another patent by Apple. This time it was regarding the Galaxy Tab and it's proclaimed similarity to the iPad.

Take that crApple.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bozzykid:
That was more of a lawsuit about hardware design though and had nothing to do with Android or software patents. Software patents are the real issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] live4nyy:
Right, in Europe it's called "Community Design", and Apple was trying to ban the devices based upon it. And this time around, logic prevailed.

Hopefully, this will hold precedence with the case in the U.S. where Apple actually holds a "design patent" for the iPad.

It's important in that Apple has been trying to use this "patent", with it's vague and broad scope, to prevent competing tablets altogether.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] armyboy11b:
Google will prevail and apple will fall ...in the long run
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bozzykid:
If by fail, you mean Apple will get more and more license fees from Android, I would agree. In the end, Apple will make money either way.

How about six posts above yours?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ImSherlocked:
How about the link I posted has more info as in judges quotes and all? And how about you wasting the space of 1 post by replying to a post that was SIMILAR to an older post and was wasting(?) space of 1 post?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
erm... anyone used the search bar at the bottom of Windows 7 (introduced with Vista in 2005, predating iOS by a good 2 years)?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MoosDiagramm:
This is where the stupidity of the patent lies: every decent OS has that function and infringes the patent.

But the Patent isn't specific to iOS, Apple filed it in 2004. Still, the way Google combines search results from the web and ads for a single query is a good example of "prior art".

Vaporizing... How do I do that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Over clock your phone and then stress test it with lid on. Use an iPad 3 and you get a two fer one.

butter and jelly please...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
Easy. You jailbreak it, find a few widget packages. Load up seven or more widgets. The device was built to handle an assload of icons plus one widget in the drawer (iOS 5 and up) but since you forcibly added more widgets to it, it will turn unstable instantly and quite possibly burn up.. or even better.. explode. The bigger the explosion or the more violent the fire, the more "vaporized" it will be.

Of course if it harms the all-powerful carriers, that is a problem. But nobody gives a crap if it harms consumers.

Hey..i don't care how it gets done, but let's put Apple in check

Android is upgrading...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mingkee:
Isn't it better to flash with Android?

This is a true VICTORY!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JediNinjafication:
I know! I was telling my friend last week that i couldn't wait until Sprint got involved, I knew they would. a few years ago i was checking out members of open handset alliance and i know they aren't involved in all this Apple garbage but I was curious if/when they would start stepping in. like i said, I know they have nothing to do with anything, BUT..they are kind of "buddies" with Android and just like when in school, a bully can only keep harassing the new guy before the big kids start to rally around. Dunno...that's how i see it. Apple is a bully.

Android is upgrading...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JediNinjafication:
Nicely stated! that's basically the exact thing I've been trying to say only I have always lacked that one word called tact.

Android is upgrading...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Yeah, but you don't see Sprint dropping any Apple products, do you?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JediNinjafication:
Its all about the money. Actually, I kind of get a tickle out of it. Apple gets products from Samsung and sues Samsung while sprint gets stuff from Apple and stands against them. So awesome
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:
I doubt they could. I'm sure there are contracts.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xjman:
Sprint is going to be really struggling soon if they don't get their 4g to enough markets to make all their new smart phones worth the purchase.

None of this is going to go anywhere and all of us are going to get screwed in the end.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JediNinjafication:
Have been with sprint off and on since 2001..I'm not going anywhere. Seriously, is it that important? WiFi is pretty much everywhere. What are those speeds really needed for except downloading?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xjman:
Wifi is pretty much everywhere, and that works for some people, others it doesn't.

Now look at the rest of consumers, the petty crybaby whiners that they are. How many people do you think are going to buy something with features they can't even use for a year out? Spending 8 years working retail I can tell you, not many.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristian93:
For those who already have Jelly Bean try saying "Who founded Apple" in Google Now xD
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DOHCtor:
Lol instead of saying the last persons name, it just says "others".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JediNinjafication:
Not for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JediNinjafication:
Fully agree with the crybabies
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
Paying for something and not getting it...yeah I'd say that's pretty important. You must not pay your own bills.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JediNinjafication:
Actually..I pay mine AND someone else's phone thank you very much. Been a big girl taking care of myself for a long time my friend. Oh..and...GASP! I change my own oil and even ripped out and replaced entire bathroom. Myself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
And yet you have no issue with Sprint not providing something your phone supports, because you don't need it.

Smells like contradiction in here.

I mean if I paid for a device to get HD from my cable provider, and they didn't use an HD signal...I'd be mighty pissed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrianDigital:
I agree, but the 3g they have is super slow. People complaining about should do what I did dump sprint. I love them and they try to do things right. But I can't get by with their 3g. Tmo's 3.5g is good enough
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JediNinjafication:
I am not a sprint customer because of their network speed. I am a sprint customer because they have taken good care of me over the years. I stay with them because I like the phones they get. The unlimited data. I was with them before roaming was included and getting a $600 bill and calling to ask what the deal was..straight wiped it away..no arguing..no nothing. I went out state and didn't know roaming. They did that a few times. I stay with sprint because they have always been good to me. Never a problem. Yeah..I can hang without lte.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DOHCtor:
That's like a girl staying in an abusive relationship because he's nice to her sometimes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
LMAO!

10char
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JediNinjafication:
Can I make calls? Yup. Can I text? Yup. Do I have internet? Yup. Can I download whatever files I may need? Yup. Do I have WiFi at home? Yup(waiting on the reinstall cuz moved). Do I have Wifi when not at home? Yup cuz usually at campus. Do I really care that you'll receive my text .05 seconds slower because am 3g? No. Besides work and home would I really need a faster network? No. Am I perfectly content rollin with what I have? Absolutely. Is it an "abusive relationship"? No..this bi*+* does what she wants when she wants how she wants with as many gigs as she wants...no throttling or restrictions here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
I can do the same thing on Verizon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bangdrum:
But faster
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JediNinjafication:
I'd rather have unlimited data than faster speeds, considering I average about 6-7million kb a month ..and that's data alone. While you prefer speed I prefer no overage fees.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bangdrum:
I'm not arguing with you. I have unlimited data on Verizon. If I didn't I'd switch to sprint myself. I used 22 gigs of data last month and no overages. The speed is nice though. Puts my comcast home Internet to shame.

The only problem I see with sprint is Wifi tethering to a tablet. Their 3g is painfully slow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:
*yawn

So... how about that injunction?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rubiconjp:
That must've taken you at least one whole month to download on Sprint..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JediNinjafication:
Ummmm...isn't that what said?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bbgt2:
Bwahahhh. Nice one. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] masterkamon842:
I'm saved for now since i have unlimited 4G data on a T-Mobile employee line, which also gives me unlimited Wi-Fi tethering. I've already used almost 3gb in 2 days lol.

Oh and i only pay 30 bucks a month!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
So you're content with paying for a service and not getting it, just because the customer service is good. Doesn't seem very bright to me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JediNinjafication:
May not seem that bright to you but...oh crap..my company is still cheaper than yours! Like i said, im not with the company for their speed. I have unlimited data. That's MY target concern when looking for a company. And yeah, customer service means everything! I'll drive clear across town to pay more money for something to eat and great service compared to going a block away and paying less, getting double, and **** service. I don't care how much better they think they are, nothing is worth a company treating people like dirt
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:
And giving people you know nothing about unsolicited advice on how to handle their affairs *is* "bright"?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
With sprint 3g speeds I don't see how that's possible without leaving your phone downloading 24/7. Then you might hit half of that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
What advice did he give? All I saw was commenting.

Did I miss where he told her to go to Verizon?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JediNinjafication:
Yeah...pretty much that's what I'm doing. I'm an constantly flashing, modding, streaming,tethering,..twenty four hours a day I'm pulling heavy data. No overage. No throttle.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Exodian:
I agree. I canceled my sprint and gladly paid the etf because the speed was so damn slow. I eat 5 GB a month on t mobile with ease but with sprint I never came anywhere near 1 GB. What's the point of having unlimited data if it is too slow to use? Kind of like having a Porsche but only getting 2 gallons of gas to drive it. To each their own I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rayiskon:
Adrynalyne, my dearest, it's really time for u to start using multi-quote .u spend hours here daily, but yet u haven't mastered some basic foruming skills.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JediNinjafication:
Now that sounds like Verizon...fast car..limited amount of miles. And the only time my speeds really suck is in my room. Not one single bar. When i tether my computer my internet is actually WAY faster than the wireless broadband.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I will keep that in mind when if I ever decide to post for your benefit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JediNinjafication:
As you can see..my billing cycle rolled over last week..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
I wasn't giving her any advice, I was just commenting on her rationalization of why she's on Sprint doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

And it's not like I don't know what Sprint service is like. I was on Sprint for 4 years and I couldn't stand shelling out 80+ bucks a month and getting slower than dial up 3G speeds.

Unlimited dial up is still well....dial up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Exodian:
Well, I'm not a Verizon fan either but my point is what's the point in having unlimited data if you don't get the chance to really use it? Most people don't get even decent data speed on sprint and they don't have all day to wait to download a file. It takes me a minute to download what it would have taken sprint 30 minutes if it didn't time out first. I'm glad that your experience is better than mine was and I'm also glad that you do get to use that much data but remember this: the more people that pull those data numbers the more likely sprint will go tiered. Then you will have crappy speeds and a crappy cap.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JediNinjafication:
See above screenshot. I don't have bad data speeds with them. Tell me where else i can pull that much data a week into my cycle and not be throttled and/or have a mob hit taken out on me?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
I have unlimited on Verizon and I've pulled almost 2 gigs in one evening. It was the only time I'd ever done that but I've never once been throttled.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JediNinjafication:
And actually...i shocked myself on this one, usually that much, a little less, for the whole month. Still waiting on the broadband to transfer my Wi-Fi service.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rayiskon:
Aaaa u're editing ur posts for me, how sweet, huggs and kisses xoxo

Back to the subject, instead of turning this thread into a verizon-sprint fight, u guys should go get urselves a REAL nexus, the one that is bloatfree and that gets software support as a true Google phone should.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Ahhh, the troll shows his face once more.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JediNinjafication:
i wish i could put ten thanks under that post
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Exodian:
I'd hate to have a troll face. That's just rough.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I will concede some here. While I still, think you should be disappointed in Sprint's LTE rollout :p, you must be getting some pretty decent 3G speeds to be able to use that much. I think if more people saw those speeds, Sprint would have more customer retention.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Exodian:
If I would have been able to pull half that I would have stayed. It is impressive. Sprint definitely had better phone reception but my data was just way to slow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rayiskon:
well i'm a brave troll, unlike some "mr. hot shot" who hides behind his pc all day long and goes around acting like a douche towards many of our fella users.. maybe it's time for another typical adrynalyne emotional moment, another "i'm sorry for my attitude" thread :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JediNinjafication:
i always hear of people having a bad time with sprint. I've been with them off and on for ten years. Always end up coming back. Have never had an issue with them. Always a good experience. I've left for different reasons, moved to an area that don't service(they even offered to cancel contact without etf), was broke so switched to prepay, or thought would get better deal somewhere else. Came back because never satisfied with level of service and support. I hate hearing how people aren't happy with them because I don't see how is possible. Maybe I've just been lucky.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Exodian:
Actually, this post is very douche like. As was your post that provoked him earlier.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rayiskon:
thank u mr. General of defence :good: don't worry, adry and i go way back when it comes to posting, there are no provocations between us, only love :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JediNinjafication:
now see...it's the calls I'm somewhat displeased with. Not the greatest but since I usually text anyway I'm not too concerned with it. And data more than makes up for it. Although I think i might be concerned this month after looking at my usage. It does say in fine print they will throttle if believe you're bogging the network and i still have over two weeks left in cycle. Need to get on the internet people transferring the service to new place!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
You must live in one of the few places where sprint service is good. You are lucky.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JediNinjafication:
currently in Oregon. I do start to get a upset when visit friends in bend..it way sucks there but it's in between mountain ranges. I've lived in Fargo,nd for a long time, was great there. Lived in Montana and there was no sprint at all and had better service than people with carriers from there but had to drive 50 miles to get on sprint network for updates. That's when they let me out without etf. I didn't even ask for that, the guy offered to erase the fee. I've been all over and is been consistent.

I will be the first to admit service did take a dive after they merged with Nextel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] armyboy11b:
I went with sprint a while back it wasn't to bad but kinda slow.they wouldn't give me a military discount cuz I'm active duty??? I call BS on that one...it makes no sense lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] harveydent:
I skipped forward thinking that the Sprint off-topicness was over but it's still here, so I'll just give you guys this to talk about. Prepare for almost all android devices to get banned:

How can HTC sue apple? Everybody knows that apple innovated everything in existence.

Seriously though I hope it works out for HTC and more companies hit back at apple. They need to come down from the mile high pedestal they are on and maybe start helping the innovative wheel turn instead of stomping the break.

I almost wet myself and shat my pants at the same time when that ignoramus posted this:

Having an iPhone has completely changed my life. People look at me with respect now. I'm part of the "iPhone crowd" and love it. When you hold a Samsung or HTC phone, it doesn't get you noticed, but when you hold up an iPhone, heads begin to turn. You need to see the looks I get from people when I use my iPad in public. People want to be me at that moment and know what it's like to experience technology at it's finest.

:what:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kgbkny:
Wow....if this clown really thinks that having a phone will get him noticed (better yet, if he needs a phone for people to notice him), he has a whole other set of problems than being an iSheep. Some therapy sessions to help improve his self-esteem are definitely in order.

***EDIT: Never mind.....it's painfully obvious that he's trolling, especially after reading the following masterpiece:

"As an example of Apple's greatness and innovation, look no farther than the New iPad. It has 4G LTE, which is revolutionary, and then people want to claim that Apple is playing catch-up with other technology companies. Look also at the iPhone 4S. It has super-fast 3G, which is much faster than Edge. It's amazing and incredible. With innovations such as these, it's no wonder why technology companies hate Apple and want to copy them."

The dude is a genius.

I'm considering buying G nex until I saw this removal of local search on G Now...so kinda holding now...

I wonder if this will make G Nexus cheaper or more expensive in the future? Or wait for future Google phone?

I was wondering, if one of you coder code something so the index of your local phone is stored on google drive, then have Google Now search that, that should no longer violate apple lawsuit and better work around right since it is not local search? Or someone is already working on this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drzfr3shboialex:
Flash a rom it still has the search.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phatmanxxl:
Go search widget searches locally too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrsbelpit:
It still has local search on the stock rom. works perfectly. I have no idea what Google did to get around the patent, but I'm very curious.
