Open source FOR THE WIN!

I like google's strategy. I am just waiting for somebody to let apple know they're throwing pebbles at a castle made of more 10 ton bricks than apple cares to realize. And any one of those bricks could stop being a brick but it would be like dropping that 10 ton brick on apple's one brick pony. I would like to see an apple manufacturing embargo. That will stiffen apple's spine up real quick. And there are some well paid pebble throwers out there on both sides. And apple just gave google free advertising on badass brick of $350 phone. Refer to signature if needed.

Good to hear that Google is still in the clear selling this. I ordered one about 11AM this morning off of Google Plus and it went through, but hadn't seen any shipping yet. Now that I read other replies it sounds like it normally might take several days to ship? I guess in a way its good that this delay is normal, but I was really hoping 2 day shipping would mean it would hit the road today and be here by Tuesday - I'm leaving on a trip and don't want it sitting outside until next Sunday :-/

Has anyone who ordered on the Plus site today gotten shipping info or any additional feedback?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pandemic187:
I see a lot of people saying Apple is scared or whatever. Well, I'm not sure how many of you all have jobs, but there are still a whole lot of those "I want to pretend like I'm tech-savvy even though I'm really not" people who still absolutely love Apple. And the sad reality is that type of person outnumbers everyone registered on this forum. Apple products are not going away for a while.

Let's not forget that iPhone is just one device. It's like if the GNex were competing against every other phone in the world.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atlman28:
I wonder what would happen if Google used this patent and filed an injunction on Apple.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phatmanxxl:
I should have put "You mean to tell me the Google iPhone didn't rip off the Apple iPhone?"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kurczynski:
Ssssssssssssooooooooooo true
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Saintfyre:
I usually don't get worked up about Apples QQing, but wow. The flush of anger and rage I experienced seeing this, I already have had my Nexus for months now, but wooooow.

Apple is just poking and prodding, the negative lashback on them should be great. Just a sad day
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] manleyaudio:
Not shipped yet, but ordered at 3:52 PT. Anticipating 44.65 in tax and shipping to the northwest.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] moneyslap03:
I Believe this is U.S. Only correct? i Doubt Google will Let Apple do this there can be a appeal, but that doesn't stop sammy for making them for Countries outside the U.S.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pandemic187:
Don't know if you've heard...but the US market is kind of a big deal. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] harveydent:
Most likely they'll push out incremental updates faster, to get rid of the "infringing" code. At least, that was what Sammy did, hardware wise, when their tablet was banned in Germany
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] electronixgimp:
After seeing this i jumped on my nexus i had a hard time debating it as i own a 2 month old vivid on ics, just didnt wanna kick down the cash when i have a new phone. i hate apple and after seeing this i knew i had to get it before they were gone and kick my self later for it just placed my order tonight should have my phone before the 4th as i live in socal and its coming from cali :good: woot
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Lol, Android alliance is just waiting, apple will slip up and leave an opening for an effective counter attack. Google isn't just gonna dive in without a solid plan, they're too smart for that, while apple is blindly swinging Google is bobbin and weaving waiting for the perfect opening.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phatmanxxl:
I wonder by how much this news boosted the sales of the nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mr.galaxy:
Can anybody explain to me why Apple doesn't sue Google directly but other OEMs?

Because their most of the objection are software based :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Fear.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zolah:
Didnt apple clearly rip of the notification tray straight from android? If so then they could get that taken away from iphones in the future.

Sure it wouldnt take much away from the phone as the iphone version of the notification tray sucks anyways, BUT....

What if google banned the likes of a youtube app from being used on the iphone?

The smallest thing like taking away the youtube app would hurt sales on its own.

does the iphone have access to google maps? Take em away!

Ban the use of google search on the iphone... Google homepage...

Can gmail accounts be used on iphones? TAKE IT AWAY!!!!

Doesnt half of the hardware that iphones use come from samsung? Pfft ***** please.

Why dont these guys start pushing back at apple and just end them once and for all.

In this day and age no one would want a smart phone that doesnt even have a basic thing like a youtube app or the option to search google or use google maps etc.

Take em down el goog!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] earlyberd:
Because there's no way to make an injunction against an operating system, especially not an open source, freely-available one. Apple is fooling the judicial system into thinking Samsung is at fault for these "infringements", and since Samsung distributes the hardware they have to cut off Samsung to prevent the sale of the devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I hope everyone who works for apple gets a rare form of the flu.:what: Assholes. They are jealous cuz they know Android has em beat. It's okay because I have faith in Google/Android---Samsung. I will buy extra phones to help support. Lol. From now on, just like this yr, instead of one I get 2. Will do same thing when Nexuss drop. We will defeat the greedy closed source crapheads.:cool:

Not going to happen. Google is a business, not an assemblage of overly dramatic teenagers tearing their hair out at every roadblock. They make more money off iOS than they do off Android. Cutting off services to the world's most popular smartphone would be like cutting off their nose to spite their face, and that is not something shareholders are going to allow a publicly traded company to do.

As for Samsung? The division that sells specced parts to Apple does not answer to Samsung Mobility, and there is no way they would risk one of their largest, if not THE largest, revenue streams and the lawsuits that would result from breach of contract. Samsung probably wishes they could manufacture MORE for Apple, not less.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Thats not nice. I wouldn't wish something that could be fatal.

Plus site? Google Play store and yes i just received my email about 15 mins ago with my tracking number. Ordered mine @ 5:27PM and it's now 12:50AM...so stoked!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hemlocke:
Interesting. I ordered last night, and I still have not received that email.

Edit: I spoke too soon. My phone buzzed while I was posting that response, and it happened to be the shipping email.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rosswaa:
Aren't apple being g sued for a touchscreen infringement? Summin about gestures
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hemlocke:
I haven't heard that one. They own THE multitouch capacitive touchscreen patent, which I am sure is FRAND encumbered, so it would be tough to challenge that (Fingerworks, 2005).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zacisblack:
Since the search feature was revamped in JB, wouldn't this only apply to ICS? I would think they would have to apply for another injunction against JB Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WoodroweBones:
First off lets try and put the bias remarks aside. Saying that Apple is falling to pieces or is not doing well is just ignorant. The Apple machine is not going to stop that easily or anytime soon.

Apple has the unique position of being basically infallible to a large customer base. By charging far too much for their products and not selling out to OEMs they cultivated a user base of brainwashed users who will blindly buy anything they sell.

The Microsoft tablet pic that was posted earlier is a good example. If Microsoft (or someone other than apple) does it, its viewed as ridiculous or stupid but when Apple does it the whole world bends over and takes it over their latest "innovation". As an example lets say iPhones had flash and then Android phones came out and took the stance of "We dont need flash... its all going to be HTML5 soon". Android would have tanked so fast it would have made WebOS look successful. But when Apple does it its pure brilliance.

A fellow GNex owner really pissed me off the other day... this guy came from an iPhone and just leaves his phone stock. He bought an iPad3 for his GF and then messaged me saying "The iPad is pretty slick... there is something to be said for ease of use"... to which I replied "What exactly did you do that isnt pretty much the exact same steps on your GNex?". He didnt reply. But thats the stigma Apple has with people. On an Android phone you go into the Play Store and click on the app you want and install it. On an iPhone/Pad/whatever you go into the App Store and click on an app you want and install it yet for some reason people feel that Apple is much easier to use.

They arent doing this to Samsung because they are falling apart. As someone earlier said they are just doing it because they can. In the end it will likely amount to nothing more than ludicrous legal bills for both parties. While I dont necessarily want Apple to go down (nothing stops innovation like lack of competition) I do want them to lose and feel it enough that they stop trying all this crap.

I always found it ironic that when you buy a Mac computer you pay 2 or 3 times the price for similar hardware you can find in a PC variant and the one thing that would maybe help justify the cost... their Operating System... is the cheapest thing they sell.

Ok... Apple Rant over... its late and I'm not exactly sober :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jvrobert:
This is short term thinking. Long term Apple is trying to stifle competition and leverage our broken patent system to increase their market share.

If Google and Samsung just look at short term profits and don't fight back _hard core_ on this, then any smart investor will dump their stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] trell959:
All fruits rot eventually....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gore785:
Maybe Google is waiting for the iPhone 5 to come out to launch a counter sue to really show who runs the mobile industry.. well I hope so.. lol, I also hope Google has map patents now that apple is making their own maps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dsparil:
Even if Apple wins and manages to shut down all Android devices, I rather go Windows Phone or Blackberry than buy an iPhone.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kurigowa:
By hurting I mean monopolized contracting, corporate tax evasion, torture, murder etc. Like i said, things that matter. What Apple is doing is ethically questionable, but not morally corrupt.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonny_rubber:
I think this is just apple trying to flex its muscles, which arent as big as they think.

I also dont think it will be upheld, even if it is it will worked around.

besides that apple have their own issues

They have had to pay damages in the netherlands to samsung for infringing a connectivity patent.

"The Dutch court did not specify any amount, but the damages will be calculated based on sales of Apple's iPhone and iPad in the Netherlands"

-----------------

they have been fined millions in australia for lying about the 4g capabilities of the ipad

----------------

apple should be far more worried about the case it lost in the netherlands - just imagine if that gets enforced in the US and damages are award based on sales of

the iphone and ipad !!!!

the two companies are simply jousting at the minute apple has this minor victory in the US, samsung has a potentially massive victory in the netherlands
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
Apple is the kind of company that will eventually start a tech war in the future. Since Apple hardly has any variation, those robots they are going to make will all look alike be just the same. Android's robots will win because at least they have variation.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zolah:
Sure at first Google would take a hit in its yearly profit but think of it this way.

When people stop buying iPhones which they would, what are people going to buy to get these Google features? What better than a Google phone?

Profits will rise back up and apple will have their tail between their legs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gnufabio:
What are the consequences of the preliminary injuction?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Deus_eps_machina:
Apple has proven with its move with the removal of Google Maps that it is willing to go inhouse to get apps and functionality that a third-party will provide. Hell, it has been doing this the entire time! Every major and popular Cydia app that adds some incredible functionality to iOS on the iPhone that Apple didnt add itself...well it bans the app, buys the dev team, and adds the functionality to iOS itself!

Apple has the cash and resources to kick Google out of iOS completely, to remove GAPPS completely and do everything first party.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gnufabio:
WTF, the Quick Search Box exists far before Siri patent. Android Donut 1.6 had it too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Deus_eps_machina:
The patent existed prior to the search bar
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dhruvraj:
I agree with most of what you said, and I'm afraid Google does not have much to hit back with. It bought Motorola just to flex the patent muscle back, for a whopping 12 billion dollars - for a reason

Now that reason too - has a question mark on the usability because most of the Motorola patents are under FRAND which make them usable for competitors, so its almost unfair for Motorola to raise a hue and cry on them against competitors.

Overall, this could - spell a death blow to Android ... but I just found this little news as well :

http://www.neurope.eu/article/apple-pay-fines-australia-and-netherlands

Just a few days back : 21st June, Netherlands judge asks Apple to pay fine to Samsung for infringing on Samsung patent regarding how their device connects to the internet.

This looks like a battle which would change the patent system, before it gets resolved. Swarm of Android OEMs need to get their act together and really bog Apple down with whatever they can find.

The problem however, might be that the patents that Apple gets are usually written in loose and generic fashion compassing functionalities - while other less patent inept companies file more specific patents on their technology thereby leaving them less effective.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ccrows:
*sigh* This is getting out of hand with Apple. Do car companies sue each other for the use of the "steering wheel" or updates made to it?

So what now? Does Google survive this and then Apple sues them next week for using an "on screen keyboard"? Apple should be sued for constant trolling...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] strumcat:
Playstore still selling GNEX as of Friday night

I successfully ordered a GNEX through the Play store as of 10:23 PM Friday night. Order accepted and confirmed. Inju nction is not in effect until Apple posts 97M bond. I'll feel better when it ships though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
Badass comment. I need to put it in my sig! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Deus_eps_machina:
That patent has not been granted yet, stop parading it around like its google's saviour cuz quite frankly if this one patent for a notification system is all its got...well wtf
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Griminal:
Interesting

I just receive mine on Wednesday. I was undecided if I should return it or not due to poor GSM coverage in my area. Something tells me I need to keep it now. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] benjamingwynn:
It won't happen. Apple will fall for doing this. The geeks and developers will flee to android because they'll know about this attack and won't want to feed a company munching machine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LoveNFC:
Rubbish. The geeks are a very small market, and the developers will stay because they like making money.

Many Android fans seem to grossly underestimate Apple's power and brand. Nothing short of committing mass genocide will cause Apple to fall.

****. Means we all have to return or gnex...Suck
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scooby359:
Is that what iOS users want though?

Chrome's just been released for iOS and I believe it's the most downloaded app at the moment. Even if Apple can move some things in house, it doesn't mean Google can't do it better
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bar_rodoy:
So I can purchase it right now? I will be in the USA in the July 17th and I want to get a Nexus directly from Google there. I hope I will manage to that.

P.S :

I hate Apple!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matthewr87:
The best thing for Google to do now would be to start giving the Nexus away for free. Or they could institute a program where every owner of a Nexus world wide would receive one or two free handsets to give away to their friends. That would be a giant $%# you to Apple and would grant Android an instant leap in Market share. They are Google. They can afford it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phatmanxxl:
Sucks for me I payed $180 for mine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] grawkiller73:
...considering that they only make 30 billion in revenue a year, I'm not so sure. Apple, on the other hand, makes upwards of 108 billion a year. Haha. They aren't going anywhere guys.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phatmanxxl:
Im sure RIM had that same attitude 7 years ago.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Funny how some people measure an entity's worth by the stack of green and can't picture the bigger picture.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] grawkiller73:
Not that comical. Just goes to show you how much bigger Apple is than almost any tech company right now.

Even IBM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
Wrong, Apple made $11.6b last year. source

Plus, 20% of that was from Chinese markets.

Also, Google's net income for 2011 was around $10b.

Google owns a lot more of internet "real estate" and also controls more than Apple.

If Google want's someone killed, consider them dead. If El Goog decides to get involved you can go ahead and assume Apple is going to lose because Google WILL win against them. It's just a matter of time before they get involved.

(Does Oracle v. Google ring a bell?)
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] master acehole:
They needed to verify more info on my purchase of a Sprint GS3 and im upgrading from a business account everything was going smooth until they asked for the company tax i.d or E.I.N basically the social security number of the business my father owns the company but im still skeptical whether give it to them or not has anybody ever encountered this before?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] icon57:
Your dad probably has the ein number instead of his ssn attached to his account, and they might need it to verify. Not sure anyone can do anything bad with a ein number.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Master Ramy:
Just got a call this morning from wire fly as well, they needed to verify some other stuff, but they asked to confirm the social security number on the account so it makes sense. I gave it to them and now waiting, mine should ship Monday and hopefully I get it before fedex stops for 4th of July
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] AdamLange:
Hi Guys,

Here you can find rooted stock kernels (without any modifications, only "insecure" root added) for SPRINT's version of Galaxy S III (SPH-L710).

This WILL rise your custom binary counter.

Insecure Means that adb daemon on phone is working as root. If you need more answers on what is insecure kernel, search over xda forums, the answer is there.

To flash, use latest ODIN (3.07) : Download Here!

*LATEST* - 29.06.2012 - L710VPALF9

23.05.2012 - L710VPALEN

Enjoy!

Instructions:
- Run odin
- unpack zip (you should see .tar file inside)
- point to this TAR file in odin as PDA
- click flash
- done
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Skunk Ape1:
What exactly does insecure do for me?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] strongsteve:
Does this allow for adb remount?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mlin:
If the device is rooted, what is the utility of the rooted kernel?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] AdamLange:
Insecure == allows adb remount by default. which means that adb on phone is working as root. If you need more answers on what is insecure kernel, search over xda forums, the answer is there :)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clark44:
any word on this being updated for latest kernel?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] AdamLange:
Which is the latest? you mean kernel from OTA? if so, not. i dont have this ota, its not available trough samsung servers. And for sure, we dont know if the kernel was changed (it may not be touched by OTA).

If you're after OTA, please PM me, we will find out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] AdamLange:
Rooted kernel for latest OTA added to first post! Enjoy!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Naddict:
Is this supposed to change the baseband version in the about phone section? still old baseband if it is...????
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] AdamLange:
Baseband is MODEM not KERNEL :) KERNEL will only change Kernel version.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Naddict:
true, but kernel number does not reflect any change either??? (That is, in settings, about phone...) no change...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] AdamLange:
No. Kernel is kernel, the only change u will see on your eyes is kernel version/build info.

:)

PS: Cut the sig man, it takes huge space even on my 24" monitor.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] knives of ice:
Can we flash this with mobile Odin?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Karma79:
So maybe a dumb question......and after reading the post I can see this was KIND OF answered, but what does updating the kernel actually do?? My phone is rooted, but I still keep getting the "update available" message. If I accept the update is it just a kernel update and by flashing this kernel instead, it's already root compatible?? I'm not sure if Im even making sense! LOL
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clark44:
In theory if you just update your build.prop the update notification should go away.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] martyzidek:
Will this make a custom boot animation possible?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] AdamLange:
No, its just a rooted stock kernel.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 6uPMAH:
Could I extract the boot.img file and place it inside my favorite ROM to flash along with the ROM?

I would like to see this answered if possible. I didn't see a response...
