The angle that's taken by some people in these type of discussions, that makes me sick, is one that's rude and greatly belittling.

The idea that, if anyone looks at actions and tries to find strategy, is a child or at least, childish. Taking the stance of the 'adult' and saying something like "these are corporations, with boards and stockholders, and they don't hold out or play possum" is just asinine. Both of these parties, have made an active effort to keep investors without voting power. If anyone has been ANYWHERE were the board was assembled, it's obvious that some decide and act, others are there only as monitors and support. Many are there diplomatically, they have no connection to any company actions.

IMHO, Having loyalty to a publicly traded company is unwise, but denying corporate strategy is retarded.

Its funny that you quote me, reiterate my stance, then insult me. Ironic? Bravo.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yiannisthegreek:
I truly believe that Apple is starting to "grasp for straws" at this stage in the game. I mean c'mon... I watched the 2007 Steve Jobs presentation for the 1st iPHONE on YouTube (I was bored... LOL) and at that time, even though most of what he was talking about as far as "features" weren't brand new, there was a "feeling" of innovation radiating from him and the crowd ate it up... Hence the birth of the iPHONE masses (or zombies, sheep, etc). That was 2007...

Now lets look at today... 5 years have gone by and as of yet (iPHONE 5 is not yet released but I dont expect too much from it either) the most innovative feature that Apple has come up with is Siri (which is a rip off of something that already existed in EVERY Android phone I've EVER owned... see signature for history) and all they did was just made it a bit more intuitive. And the next item they added was a "pull down" notification center?!?!?! Ummmmm... again... this existed in EVERY Android device Ive ever owned!!! Can you say "blatant rip off"???

Apple has claimed to be "innovators" this entire time and the best they could do with iOS 5 was RIP OFF Android features?! Now THATS what I call "grasping for straws"!!!

I truly believe that within the next 5 years (unless Apple really DOES something "innovative") Apple and iOS will be sitting in the Technological grave yard along side Symbian, Web OS and RIM and without Steve Jobs around anymore to run the "slowly sinking ship" I really dont see Apple doing anything REAL other than continue with all of these BS patent lawsuits... Steve had to come back to save Apples ass once in the companies existence but there is no way for him to come back from the dead (rest his soul) to do it again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wirelessFREAK:
I never took your stance. I obviously believe my original opinion (which you disagree with)

On the idea of being quoted,

Don't flatter yourself. You are not the only person with the same point of view. You are only an example. I would have quoted you, if you were relevant.

Now that you bring it up, as a person that is somehow above believing in the existence of corporate strategy, why read into a topic that you see as pure fiction? Wanna talk about poisonous radio waves? What about where Elvis was last seen?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hemlocke:
You missed the point. These are corporations, and they are only accountable to the board, the shareholders, and government regulations. Keep your conspiracy theories, they don't apply, just as emotion doesn't apply to business dealings at the level we are discussing. They aren't our fans, and any of us getting sentimental about them is just fanboyism (aka, "sheep").

Use what works for you and leave others to use what they like. Android fanboy superiority complexes remind me of the elitism another group likes to practice, but their name escapes me.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wirelessFREAK:
In the OP, I wrote about how neither strategy is clean or good. Both aren't, but only one strategy is better for development. Add to that, apple's strategies aren't healthy towards the whole tech industry.

Not to move towards politics, but it is like privatized prisons, or casinos. The gain of one party only comes from the loss of others.

Words like 'fanboy' and 'troll' are overused to create a straw-man approach. Basically saying "You're a fanboy/troll, if you disagree with me".

I see the blind support for a company as unwise (as I posted earlier), and I respect your opinion, so long as it doesn't belittle mine.

Discounting mine, or others, as either childish (directly or indirectly) or fanboyish,

IS MORE HARMFUL TO YOUR ARGUMENT, THEN OURS.

*I would have underlined instead of all caps, but I'm on my phone*

Also keep in mind that my comments weren't against apple's products, or users (I'm a current iphone 4 and GN owner). I'm talking about corporate strategy alone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] patalo:
OKay here is what i think. I thought of this while i was stoned but it sounds logical. Google is "laying off Apple" because they already see these kids on here that do something stupid and f there phone up. They do not want apple to go because then they are stuck with a million more people that will F up their phone and cry to google. Apples OS is almost impossible to F up unless you know how to F it up. Google knows that they beat apple in any kind of software out there. they just made google now and it kicks ass and i dont care what people say jellybean is everything i ever wanted. Thats what i think. sorry i didn't elaborate more, you get the idea
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Maybe lay off the weed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] patalo:
haha i think that sometimes. but i always see whiny people on here. apple consumers whine non stop as well. why would they want the apple whiners too? lol

I hope you're right since I can't imagine a smart phone world ruled by one fascist Apple. Seems harsh but that's just what it is.

Does apple remind you of the Call of Duty series? Same old product just small changes every year.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wirelessFREAK:
You can also see that in their customer base. They seem to split into 2 groups, and only 2:

1 group will say whatever change is the best thing since sliced bread, while the other says "I can't really see any worthwhile differences". Not much of "this is not worth the difference" or "I can't afford the difference" or such.

In the other markets (android, bb, and windows), you get a lot of "but I like this more" or "I'll wait for (X)"

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Invincible29:
hi,

I have got myself into a situation where I am seeking your knowledge. I have flashed all 4 files including the pit file on gs2 but now memory has been reduced to 8gb. Is there a way to revert back to 16gb?

I am thinking of either reflashing the stock Androind 4.0.3 which might fix this?

or flash the recovery pit file posted in one of the forums plus other 3 files?

Please let me know.

Thanks

V
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Invincible29:
All sorted just used the recommended pit file from the forum which i presume was extracted from 4.0.3 and then erased ny usb and it was back to 16 gb
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daora:
Same Problem

I flashed the file too and my internal storage is donw to 8 from 16gb. Can someone post the pit file from 4.0.3 16gb if this works?

Edit:

on sammobile download the latest flashprogramm. There is a Pit file which could recover the storage maybe.

Edit 2:

Problem solved. Downloaded Flashprogramm + Pit on sammobile. Flashed the new Firmeware and selected Re-Partition with the pit which was in the Zip with Odin. After flash formatet internal Storage and Taadaa! My 11.50GB are back.

Best Regards

Dear Mate,

I have a Red Defy (not +) using MS2Gingger 3.0 and its full blur. I'm really love this ROM. But I want to ask about MOTOBLUR. In application (on root system) I found "blur.Flicker.apk and blur.LinkIn.apk" but why those apk doesn't appear in setup account.apk? I really want to used it. How to make it appear again..
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] defydent:
Did you flash the BlurApps zip from recovery? That should automatically have added these.

Hi all,

I install CM7.2 yesterday and everything looks good. However, I find I cannot use mobile network in my GT-S5830.

I have tested the Internet by using Wi-Fi. It is working via Wi-Fi at home. Then I turn off Wi-Fi and only do data enable in Mobile networks, and nothing works. I don't know what's going on.

I have read a few article by useing app (HiAPN) to reset my APN but still not working?

Can anyone tell me how to get my mobile network back to work?

Thanks:crying:

PS: Location - Australia servers provider: vodaphone
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaaan:
Call your service provider and ask him for the apn settings. Simple.

;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caiobemloke:
Use the default android APN reset :)

Settings > Wireless & networks > Mobile networks > Access Point Names > (Options Menu) > Reset to default

This might work, if it does not, call your service provider ;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomsons26:
Calling the service provider is the dumbest thing to do,the APN settings are integrated in Android(apns-conf.xml) ,so they cant really be screwed up, calling the service provider is the same as saying "I flashed a custom rom,so my warranty is no longer valid i'm going to pay for repairs from now on" directly to them.

You can try to re-flash CM see if that helps tho.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caiobemloke:
Not really that way, you can ask for the APN settings directly, that does not mean you have an custom ROM... Just ask for APN, username, password, MCC, MNC and authentication method, simple like that :) but there are several APN apps in play store... Brazilian carriers have for example the APN Brasil app that can set all those settings automatically :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewilley:
OK, so I've been using Android for a while with HTC Sense, what user interface differences am I likely to notice when I move to Touchwiz on a Galaxy S3? (I would have gone for the HTX One X - but no removable battery, no SD card?! C'mon!)

I also have a nice physical qwerty keyboard at the moment, so having to use a touch-only keyboard will be a wrench, how bad is it? (I can't really use the on-screen keyboard on my HTC Desire Z at all, I'm just hoping that the slightly larger screen will make a touch keyboard least bearable).

Andre
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kumprise:
Touching "Weather" on home screen leads to "Weather app" only - no Clock, no Alarm...

Weather then needs three steps (and browser) to show ""Hourly". No animation in Weather app, also.

Ended up removing that widget completely and putting normal clock instead.

Dialer has no AI. Needs a lot of patience. Ended up adding "Direct Dial Widget" for some people I call a lot - can't use dialer at all, it's annoying.

I found no way of copying contacts to Phone all at once, like in Sense. Contact pictures are small and pixelated due to this (used to change Google to Phone contacts on Sense, and reapplying the pics so they stay in full res).

TouchWizz will link contacts properly but will miss their Skype pictures. Further (manual) linking is possible, but a bit more complicated then in Sense 4.

Adding widgets and apps in Sense 4 (I used before) is a lot more straight forward. This is a bit... well, one can get used to it, but it's different. "Hold and drag" instead of simply "Tap". Go figure.

If I remember anything else, I'll add it. Can't help with your keyboard issue, I use screen for it for a while.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewilley:
So basically Sense is mostly better, but it's fixable with third-party apps. Kinda what I expected; I do like Sense, but HTC have dropped the ball a bit with the rest of the One-X vs. the Galaxy 3S.

The one thing I know I'll miss (stupid I know!) will be the animated weather graphics when you open the home page.

Andre
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajd2416:
You can get all that from beautiful widgets and the free animation app at play store. go to getjar for the apk.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tingtan:
I too moved from HTC (previously Desire, Desire HD, SensationXE) to S3.

Missed the most is the HTC signature home page, lots of custom mods and libary of widgets provided by Sense. But nothing can trump replacable battery and uSD card. Take me few hours to get use to Touchwiz and Samsung apps. Now a very happy user of S3.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clockcycle:
What you won't miss is the lag with Sense.

As for the keyboard, you just have to go cold turkey. I could suggest trying other keyboards. One or two features I find missing on the keyboard are directional arrows, because it's hard to pin point going back to a word to correct it, and the mic icon for voice to text input... I had a keyboard on my Note that took care of those two and was a bit easier to type on.. Now I forget which one it was and miss it.. lol
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewilley:
Thanks. I use HD Widgets on my tablet, which allows installs onto multiple devices, so I'll try that first - or maybe try Beautiful Widgets for the animations.

Andre
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.m0x:
Swype changed my opinion of touch screen keyboards forever. It's almost as fast as having a full sized qwerty keyboard once you know how to use it.

I like sense as well but I'm not buying a phone without a removable battery either. I'm also tired of the sub standard speakers HTC keep using. I'd at least like to hear my phone ring in my pocket.

Think most of the points of difference have been covered already. Touch wiz now also has features of its own lacking in sense. Example is smart stay and some of the other motion control options.

All in all, having used a sensation up until April and a desire hd before that, I'm finding touch wiz to be quite pleasant. It's not nearly as crap as the HTC fan boys like to make out on those forums.

Does someone have a suggestion?

I can confirm that this way of installing works perfectly. App existing data is retained (apps & user data etc).

Also, I previously installed and did a full wipe, but had the bluetooth problem (wouldn't switch on) - there is no such problem using this way.

Thanks for the heads up. :)

Using a "root" kernel will break the camera as well as bluetooth on LQ5 - the way to avoid this is to do the following:

Root the firmware with CF-Root or Siyah kernel or similar; then using CWM recovery, flash the attached stock LQ5 kernel.

You'll keep root, SU etc. but also have a working camera and bluetooth.

Folk after instaling LQ5, i had the green android guy instaling the OS for 7min.

I reflashed lpf, made a nandroid restore, everything was fine untill i saw that half of my internal storage is missing.

Navigation missing, a few photos, apps, and i had 4GB storage.

I tried everything i could to find the missing space but nothing.

Every app, system shows that i have 4 GB space (2.5gb full with files 1,5 gb free)

pls help recover my space

I know with i9000 had the same issue when applied woddoo lagfix and repartition to ext fat.
[Galaxy S II General] Phone_Guru:
Please read the forums before posting. If you flash LQ5 with the included .pit file it will repartition your storage and you will lose space. you need to reflash an older pit. You can find it in the other LQ5 threads.

Dude i tried with old .pit but nothing it remains the same 4 gb.
