According to this: Who Was Really First? Apple vs. Samsung, the dates in the pic are completely incorrect for Samsung. That said, the comments of this article have some pretty compelling information that leans toward Samsung on this. So, the pic may not be correct but, the spirit is justifiable given other facts. Regardless, Apple is the imitator, not the innovator.

that's like apple claiming to be the first to invent the computer mouse.

they bought the patent from Xerox. They started this **** 20+ years ago.

my question is why don't samsung or google retaliate? is it because they make so much money off of apple products? its almost as if they allow apple to do this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JaZart:
Come guys this has nothing to do with our phone specifically and there are already several discussions about apple in other sections.

Now I don't like what they're doing but I'm getting pretty tired of seeing apple bashing/hating(even though they deserve it.)

,,but can we move this talk elsewhere

Google makes a lot of money because of apple and Samsung makes a lot of money because of them also neither company wants to lose money so they won't go after apple hard.

wow, it's my first thread regarding apple and sammy or watever... and damn these debates can get blown out of proportion. Apple just plain plays dirty...e.g. there was one case where the iphone and sgs pictures were taken and submitted in the court documents where it showed they are the same size and height!!!

I agree that's super offensive. We may not like Apple but there is no denying that He was a genius who played a major part in our history.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dcpetterson:
I can easily deny he was a genius. Compare him to real geniuses, did he invent the Theory of Relativity? How about inventing Calculus? He "invented" marketing to idiots. He "invented" taking other people's work and then sewing them for it. He "invented" being at the right place at the right time. I'm glad he's dead, cuz now he's in Heaven.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PJcastaldo:
I don't find it offensive because people may or may not believe he wasbor was not a genius..

It was offensive because its not right to say your glad someone is dead.. IMO you should be banned for saying such things about ANYONE.

Jobs was a business man. No business man is a genius IMO. He was more child like with his demands to make things better "or else!" The real work was done by the programmers, engineers, etc. It doesn't take a genius to spew demands.. I could walk into Samsung right now and start demanding they fix the issues discussed in this forum, does that make me a genius?

I think you deserve the ban hammer.

Anyway seriously guys enough with the freaking threads about apple. Its always another newbie that makes one like there's already not 10 of them. Its really starting to get annoying. This is why noobs aren't allowed to make threads out of the gate. It should be more than 10 posts before someone can make a thread. For one this is a section about the GS II nothing to do with apple. Please stop making posts about apple. Its these kinds of things that make XDA look like a bunch of idiot leechers. And all of you people bumping this thread just by saying "yeah f*** apple" are just as much to blame and should get in trouble too.

Steve Jobs invented GUI. W. Out him we would still be using terminal/ command line for everything

Apple as a company is evil though. Don't worry Sammy+ google (motorola) will fight back. That means thats 3 companies vs apple. Remember when apple tried to ban HTC phone sells? Didn't happen.

Sony has promised that all his mobile 2011 would be updated to Android 4.0. For examole, early last month the Sony Ericsson Xperia mini pro has been updated to Ice Cream Sandwich. With this in mind, the next stage of the Tour Ice Cream Sandwich is the Sony Ericsson Xperia mini. This is not the OTA update simple and intuitive. First, to see if the device is ready to go through the process, try the figure 8 Item Number Sales (SI) number under the battery. See if it matches with the list of numbers from the SI website of Sony. You can do this by clicking on sourcelink. If the SI from the phone appears in the list, you can use Companion PC or Mac for the Bridge to connect to the PC and load the update.

If you do not remember too much about the Sony Ericsson Xperia mini, had a 3-inch screen with resolution of 320 x 480 pixels and a resolution of 192ppi. A single-core processor at 1GHz is under the hood, while 512MB of RAM onboard. A capacity of 32GB microSD available Cardis and the rear facing 5-megapixel camera has AF and LED flash. The video can be captured in 720p. As such, Sony says it's the smallest device in the world that can record HD video.

Those who have installed Android 4.0 on their Sony Ericsson Xperia mini say it's like having a new phone. If you have installed the update, let us know what you think by commenting in the box below.

Will nAa kernel for X10 mini work on x8???:D:D:D:D:D:D and is there any way to make x10 rom work on :confused::confused:x8
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpyderX:
nAa kernel is already available for X8, so there's no need to use nAa kernel for X10 mini.

As for the rom, X10 mini and mini pro both have similar hardware as the X8 so roms from the X10 mini and mini pro can be used on the X8 with some changes with regard to screen and input (ask a dev/porter for more details). However roms from the big X10 cannot be ported without some big changes. I'm not an expert in this so try and dig up more info on your own :).

Hey all, I'm interested in getting the Nexus 7 when it becomes available, and was wondering if anyone that has one or knows if Play Books on the Nexus 7 supports non-store downloaded epub books? I know there are some markets apps like Aldiko and others that allow you to use your own files, but I like the look of Play Books, and wanted to keep all my books in there.

I've tried searching Google and these forums, but haven't really found any solid information.

Thanks for any info.

No it does not. I use mobi format with the Kindle app instead.

problem: after boot, screen is really washed out and bright compared to my phone. colors are all correct but different. mean red is red but its like with low or no contrast or very high brightness.

1: i really have no clue if it was like this before or not as i never compared to my phone

2: its my brothers, and he used my phone for couple of months before buying this. i had GB stock then, so i flashed GB stock to his phone.

3: recently i had his phone for some time i flashed ICS stock and noticed this ****.

4: i flashed multiple times but its stays same. but the screen before boot is just like mine very black and good contrast, its just after booting it happen, so im thinking cant be screen issue.

5: iv yet to try the original 3 rom as i really don't get hold of his phone as hes glued to it :)

would like some insight.

tried these....

1: couple of Stock ICS

2: Stock GB LA2

Waiting is annoying. In particular for us, the razr (maxx) users in asia. After waiting for a day and a day, a month and a month, a delay followed by another, ics update for asia razr has finally be officially informed. This is really a godsend gift from motorola!

Though, some impatient asia razr users (myself inclusive) who has flashed the ics leak, can we go back to the asian retail version? I currently am in t-mobile german 4.0.4 ics leak, how can I flash back my razr to hongkong retail version? Is it just the same way as flashing from german version to european ics version? In fact, if this is the way, i don't quite understand what the boot.img is and how can i get it. Would anyone of the profession gives a helpful hand to us?

One more question, just about flashing logic in my mind.

Process to flash will be:

1. Flashing the boot.img in fast boot.

2. Flashing the stock hk 2.3.5 rom with Rsd.

3. Flashing the ics ota in recovery.

Am i correct? If yes then, how can i get the boot.img for asia version?

Dear xda,

Sorry for the weird title but here is what O wanted to discuss.

I noticed everytime I unplugg my S3 its stuffed till 100 %. Wheras my xperia s10 and my galaxy s would drop to 95 and go back up. This looped all night.

Since I know it is bad for the battery overall life to keep a constant chargeload whilst at 100% I found this awkward.

[NFC Hacking] Bankichi5:
and it can detect ANY NFC tags as functional cards.

when it's detected a certain card. it will change the settings programmed.

i solved the codes of

wifi switch on/off

auto brightness on/off

auto sync on/off

set brightness

launch vpn settings

connect to a certain wifi hotspot

here is the examples.

with Card A - Company Card (used my canteen card)

wifi on, auto sync on, dim brightness, and launch the vpn,

try to connect to my personal wifi hotspot.

with Card B - Outdoor Card (used my traffic card)

wifi off, auto sync off, auto brightness on,

with Card C - Home Card

wifi on, sync on, dim brightness.

so when i go outdoor and don't need to find the widget to turn on auto brightness, just tap the traffic card. done!

but this app is too personalized, not suitable for everyone. all the tags used now is static data in the codes. :P

anyone wants to expand the app to have settings, menus, and nice UIs?

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] a4rocks:
Before I start, you should know one thing, when writing pros and cons, never be as subjective and biased as you have been. Most of your issues are totally device related and while some are, they can easily be fixed rather than whining about.

I don't know how you have a Laggy UI but ICS on my S runs smoother than my dad's S3. So make sure you do a full reset even if it is painful and most of the times, it's bad apps that are solely responsible. So try things before you reach a conclusion. For all I know, a percentage of people have it and NOT ALL so it is definitely device dependant.

Gallery works great for me, get burst shot mode using Camera ZoomFX, use different power Saver app from Play Store. There are loads. Benchmarks dropped! Are you kidding me? Did you check figures or played an actual game to understand that? Battery Backup is easy 1day+ with WiFi or 3G on the whole time. No stutter for me despite using Chrome in the background. Low RAM is your mental state and 200MB of RAM is good enough for every app. Haven't faced a low RAM issue yet

Only Bluetooth Audio, low WiFi signal and a few more are true issues rest there is nothing else. Next time, PLEASE READ facts before you become judgemental and tell people not to upgrade to something better only because you didn't try hard enough
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SEFanX10i:
Yes as a4rocks mentioned already, those issues are specific to your device and I have none of the issues that you have mentioned except for the lack of wifi direct.

My phone is now smoother than on GB with ZERO lag.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jojo1980:
the only issue i had was wifi signal dropping, but somehow after a few days it seems a lot better, doesn't cut out at all now, don't know how but it fixed itself!.

no lag at all, very happy with ics upgrade and def wouldn't consider going back to gb
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] haithamkhc:
for me the only annoying thing in ICS is the slow launch of some apps specially the "Phone" Application every time i leave the app for more than 5 minutes. it launches slower than GB takes 2-3 seconds to load. its very annoying otherwise everything is good and i am very happy with the upgrade! :D:D:D:D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gm007:
I flashed the original firmware that came with my phone yesterday then updated to ICS using SUS + factory reset.

It seems updating using SUS is much better than flashtools,everything is working as it should and the battery is even better.

Actually I've Allocated Worldwide Issues,Not For Solely Mine,

And I've Never Discourage Anyone To Stay In GB

Ok,Now About Your Point,

At First My Nature Is Always Overcoming The Compromises With Essentials

Not Whinning,But These Are Extremely Problematic

Now If Its Possible I'll Prove You With A GB vs ICS Xperia Video

That How Lag Occurs

I've Played Mass Effect Infiltration And Found Lag

Music Player Is Awsome

But When There Should Be Unstoppable Plying In Shuffle Mode (Had This In GB)

It Stops After One Or Two Songs

Ok I Really Like To Use Power Saver App Coz It Has A Suitable Widget

And Now

Power Saver Mode Malfuntions When Its Killed By ICS Task Killer

And Two Both Saver (Low Battery Saver & Time Saver Does not Work Simultaneously)

You Are Saying Pinch In Homescreen To Float Widget Is Not Laggy????

Well I Use 12 Widgets Which Coz Lags,But In GB It Was Fine...With All Those 12 Widgets

And really Annoying Is Phone Dialer App Take 3-4 Sec To Load

Yse Battery Backup Is OK For Me

And As For Camera I Use Procapure,Camera 360,360 Panaroma,Paper Camera,Fast Burst Mode...etc

I KnewSony Wouldn't Add Finctionality in Camera,But I Said Before,Its Not Mine,Its All Over Problem...

Thank You For Your Concern,If You Can Upload An Only Home Screen Video To Prove Its Smooth Specially With 12 Widgets!!!
