Is there any other consumer product on the marketplace where consumers end up worshipping its respective manufacturers and hoping for their competitors destruction? I like my Aero speed fan. 20 bucks from wal greens. It circulates air very nicely. I heard there is another fan company making slightly different fans. Man, anyone who uses their fan is a sheep or a "fan"boy. What? They are suing Aero speed for fan blade shape infringement? Those idiots! That company sucks and I hope they fail. End of ridiculous story. Companies sue each other all the time to gain competitive edge or protect their IP. I'm trying to figure out why cell phones create such lunacy amongst their users as to cause them to literally get angry. Their are better things in the world to waste your mental energy on. Enjoy your phone, let Apple users enjoy theirs. We aren't in kindergarten anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drzfr3shboialex:
you mean number one OS :D :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] greeced:
You have to look at what Apple is doing... They are trying to destroy Android, not specific manufacturers.

The only reason they are going after Samsung now is because its the #1 selling manufacturer for Android products...

Android dominates the market as a whole, so for every Android phone that is sold, Apple feels the sale could have gone to them....

So while the iPhone is the best selling hardware on the planet right now, those numbers are skewed. I mean, if you want iOS, you don't have much choice but to buy the one product thats available for purchase.

That in itself is the only reason why the iPhone is the best selling phone. Android on the other hand has every hardware manufacturer going making phones with their software installed, but if you were to dwindle the hardware down to one like Apple does, I'm sure Apple would be crushed.

Android surpassed iOS long ago... Apple is trying to steal the thunder back through court, not through any kind of innovation.

This type of fanbase has been going on for ages, and it all started with the Automobile.

If you were a Ford fan, GM sucked and vice versa... but the actual companies played the field like gentlemen, not like a playground spat the way Apple is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Apple is scared that Google is going to pull a Microsoft on them and eat up most of the market because they lock down their OS to one device and ANdroid can be used on virtually any device.

Its a repeat of when Microsoft swallowed Apple back when they put an end to clones and kept their OS to themselves.

You would think they would learn.

I have very little doubt that if Apple let other companies use iOS, Android would be in trouble or at least on even ground when it comes to market share. Instead Android is chipping away at Apple.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] greeced:
That's already implied I'd think.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] uDroid:
They cant face the fact that Android is better.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] evil_penguin:
I've never been a fan of Apple due to their*proprietary/locked down/restricted ecosystem (Mac OS & iOS) but this kind of ****'s starting to make me hate them.* My sentiment is moving from "not a fan" toward "hate".

Seriously apple get a life!

Improve your devices instead of looking at others products.

Its simple ,they are jealous!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danger-rat:
The iPhone may be the top selling device, but Apple are not the top selling OEM - in fact, they are far from it...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
And nobody implied that they were. The original comment was number 1 selling phone. Smartphone was implied. We all know its not the #1 phone sold.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] greeced:
At the end of the day, these discussions are frivalous.

Apple proved the type of company they are, and unfortunately, in the long run its going to do them more harm then good...

In the end, who really cares... I'll still get the device I want, Apple be damned. Nexus not sold in the U.S./Canada? Oh well, Europe or some other country that doesn't have a ban in place will ship it to me.

Nuff said.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xjman:
I would say we see Android fall before iOS. Apple is used to being second best, they have made a hell of a money making venture out of it. Google isn't. So when all these antiquated patent laws are abused the one used to being on the bottom is the victor.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] I Am Marino:
I wait for the day all the other companies group sue Apple.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ...Awesome...:
Same here man hopefully it blows up in their face and everything they done kicks them where the sun don't shine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xjman:
The problem is Android NEEDS iOS and Apple.

If there is no competition for the Android OS it will turn stagnant and die.

Look what happened with iOS, little to no competition at launch, then Google having had android for a few years launches the G1. The rest is history, the platform exploded.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] greeced:
Android will not fail... Google makes a lot of money by selling their ads through their services, and like Microsoft, are poised to make a seamless Mobile/Home computer experience...

I truly think iPhone is a fad that will eventually die... It hasn't changed, and sales are slowly dwindling because of their refusal to change.

At any rate.. who cares.

---------- Post added at 03:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:45 AM ----------

iOS is not the only competition for Android... Microsoft will slowly surge with the introduction of Windows 8 in the home... and if Microsoft never truly becomes a competitor, it will be naive to think there won't be another company looking to dethrone the King.

iOS destroyed Blackberry... slowly... Remember when they were king? Everybody refused to leave them because of BBM? Where are they now? Do you hear any more BBM stories? Nope.

Android came along and is now taking larger and larger pieces of the pie and have grown to over 50% marketshare worldwide. And thats because they offer something that consistantly changes year after year, unlike iOS.

Eventually someone will step up and try and dethrone Android...

Point is, competition goes well beyond iOS. iOS is no longer the benchmark to what things are or what they should be.

Why do you think Apple is fighting in court so much? Because they know they can't win fair by innovating.... They took many things/ideas from Android (notification bar and the like), do you see Google suing?

Anyways, this is a mute point and can be argued back and forth with no resolution.

If the public wants this or that, they will find a way to get it no matter what a court in the U.S. says.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
Don't worry, that will happen. It's just a matter of time. The reason Apple isn't attacking Google directly, is because they know they'll be kicked down in the dirt if they do.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] total360:
I personally feel a bit like the founder of Linux and his feelings on Nvidia. Apple is ruining its public image with these legal proceedings etc etc. Half the patents they are suing for are actually on generic features and should not of been patented anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] greeced:
Apple is the poster child for what is wrong with the U.S. Patent system and those who actually work for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
Agreed. Patenting generic features isn't right anywhere anyhow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zapek666:
Apple has a real problem now. I don't think they expected devices with screens bigger than 3.5" to take off. The iphone and its ecosystem was never designed with multiple screen size layout in mind.

So either they stay with 3.5" and look ridiculous, or they bump it up and need every app to get updated, which will require time. They know they're losing which explains the recent frivolous lawsuits. Their goal being to dismiss android as a "risky market" since their "fragmentation" FUD won't stand for much longer if they bump the resolution.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ryjabo:
And it'll be called, "Revolutionary"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
The only revolutionary about Apple is their extreme idiocy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PROlific666:
Just because its the best selling phone of "all time" is what doesn't mean anything. Most of those devices are now paper weights or being sold on the second hand market. Go look at your local Craigslist for details.

Market shares dont mean anything?

It depicts which operating system is most widely used. I would say phone sales don't mean anything. (Read below)

This isn't a phone battle it a OS battle. The original quote stated that apple would continue to swim and even dominate.

http://articles.businessinsider.com/2011-12-01/tech/30462095_1_tablet-market-apps-smartphone-market

iOS currently supports 3 smartphones. Android supports several hundred more.

Point being there is much more variety for the android user. The iOS user really only has 2 flavors to choose from. It goes without saying why the iPhone it self has had such high sales when compared to the hundreds of android phones.

And again when you use that "all time" figure you muddy the waters preventing the less informed from seeing what the market really looks like. The bottom line is there are more (many more) handsets running android than there are iOS. To compare phone sales and say this proves apples dominance really just shows the weakness of the point. Actually it's what is called an informal fallacy in logic.

And to the point about my manners don't be a delta bravo.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aindow:
Just like when Apple introduced picture messaging and face time then then? A re hash of something that's been around in the UK on other phones since around 2003. Lol.

I think these whole patent lawsuits are daft anyway. It just shows that Apple are struggling to innovate so are resorting to the courts to quash competition. Apple won't pick a fight direct with Google as they know with the sheer size of Google they may not win. They go after the various hardware makers instead as they're seen as an easier /safer target.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MikeyMike01:
Because their patents have been infringed?

You can argue the validity of the patents, but it's really irrelevant. The fact is, they have them and they've been infringed.

Every company in the world would do the same thing.

So if you're in the business of placing blame, it's got to lie squarely on the shoulders of the people who awarded these patents to begin with.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MattSkeet:
So you're going to tell me that apple after releasing next iPhone will sell only that device ? I thought that there is iPhone 3gs 4 and 4s and that's a family of devices .... in reality they are compeyly different devices .... each of those devices has got its own market share check those numbers first. You can't say iPhone sold 90milion devices ... its true if you take all the phones together but each phone has got its sale numbers ..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crixley:
after reading this thread and your comments, all I have to say is jesus just go buy an iPhone already...

Anyone getting incorrect Info from your top bar where the battery and time are?

Been noticing on my Nexus 7 I\O version that the top bar seems to get stuck, and display old info such as time and battery life.

Just curious.

Liking it so far, i m having the screen flickering issues that a few others mentioned.

No other real problems yet to notice.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mrcojocaru:
No issues here mayne. Hope there's gonna be a fix for you
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flash_beezy:
Hopefully.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SimbaDC650:
only issue ive had was the first boot up google logo for 20 minutes.. until i plugged into charger and let it be for 30 minutes and came back to it and held down the power button again
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flash_beezy:
Thanks
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaoscentral:
Anybody have any issues with touch screen performance being intermittent? I'm certain it might be a software bug, because once I turn the screen off then back on it works no problem. It's like the touch sensor develops dead spots and locking and unlocking it resets them.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flash_beezy:
No issues with touch on my unit.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kboya:
My n7 seemed to die on the first day, even though it was plugged in to the mains and displaying charging in the top corner. After this it wouldn't reboot or even display the battery icon. Further fiddling the next day got it booting again and charging fine. I am now wondering if it had some issue like the one you describe. Either way, it is booked for replacement partly for these issues and partly as the screen is rising at the left hand edge.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] t061509j:
which rom you guys think is better? FoxHound or BlackStar? thanks for letting me know

Basically, try them out. See which one suits your needs the best. And if you don't like anyone, make your own!
[HTC EVO 3D] Wolfbeef123:
I got s-off on hboot 1.5.

but now i want to downgrade my hboot.

how do i do this if i already have s-off?
[HTC EVO 3D] Astrikz:
Why do you want to downgrade?

Its the same as having hboot 1.50 s-off
[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
There are plenty of guides and stickies here that show you how to do this.
[HTC EVO 3D] rizky14:
i already have soff hboot 1.5 but status bootloader is LOCKED, what should i doo to make status UNLOCKED,

and i want to downgrade 1.4,
[HTC EVO 3D] DjDom:
If you are S-OFF and the bootloader says LOCKED, you aren't really locked.

S-OFF, is S-OFF.

I'm assuming you used the wire trick?

If so, then it's normal for it to say locked.
[HTC EVO 3D] evomike77:
No need to downgrade, you are good to go
[HTC EVO 3D] rizky14:
Don't knoe how my phone got rooted,

How can i flash the room when i got hboot 1.5 but soff?

How can i flash a rom with hboot 1.5 soff?
[HTC EVO 3D] elias17:
no need

man s-off is way more important than an unlocked bootloader s-off lets you overwrite over data , system and boot partition , u can flash any custom rom but just making a full wipe and flash the zip file :D no bootloops:D no need to downgrade ur hboot and no to unlock the bootloader , once u achieve s-off u can do whatever u want :)
[HTC EVO 3D] DjDom:
Download the ROM.

Boot into Recovery.

Wipe all Data.

Flash the ZIP.

All is good and done.
[HTC EVO 3D] rizky14:
ok thanks, bro :)

i can flash whatever rom what i want right ?

thanks bro,

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] texas83:
4g flashed on for the first time and then speed took off. Only showed 4g symbol though no LTE symbol like I was expecting. I'm in north Dallas near lewisville when it caught it. Now I'm in Carrollton and back to 3g?! Maybe it was a short test but damnnnnnnnn crazy fast, I streamed a baseball game instantly with zero lag to load and play!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dav1boy:
Come on Seattle area!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lathamc:
I live in a suburb of Dallas, and I thought we would get 4G LTE. But our neighborhood is the only one without it according to the coverage map. If you cross the street, however, you get 4 bars of 4G. I was only able to get 10 MBps when I did cross the street.

Even though I do not have 4G, I have noticed an increase in my 3G speeds. Is that part of the plan for when the roll out 4G?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] NiteTrekker:
I'm getting Jack Squat in Carrollton. :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] corwinmortac:
Ya I'm in Carrollton as well and I haven't seen a signal yet. My old evo is my wife's now and her wimax speed is good...but no LTE
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kd5ftn:
No 4G at my home near 75@Northwest Hwy yet...

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Robbie0317:
I am up in The Colony, TX... At the Walmart in The Colony I get a great 4G LTE signal on my EVO LTE but you drive just 1 mile north on 121 and it drops to nothing (right where I live) but from the Walmart and across the street at Target and Best Buy it works great... and then South on 121 you go about a mile or two and it drops altogether until you get closer to Lewisville and 121 and 35.... crazy gaps in the coverage...

near preston @ royal. got nuthin
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dangerdark:
Nope

I'm in Garland and haven't gotten anything yet. The 4G LTE map shows my area is supposed to be receiving it, but haven't gotten a hit all day. I was near Richardson off 75 and Campbell and picked up a signal for a bit, but it was lost.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] texas83:
Is the phone supposed to show an LTE symbol? Cause I've only seen it show 4g or 3g , nothing else.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayabusa1300cc:
If it shows 4g then you're on lte
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] peanut1596:
Yeah it only shows 4g. Our phones don't have wimax so when you see the 4g icon, it can only mean one thing.

From my office just north of Spring Valley and Tollway, now have 4G on my SIII- but only when up on the 6th floor. And from inside the speed is pretty poor.

Been up by 635 and MacArthur in Irving and nothing out there yet. Calmly yet impatiently waiting.....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mortabo:
Seems they only activated about 1/10 towers, talked to multiple sprint reps and they all give different answers. If they had a bug during rollout they would have issued a press release saying that they are working on it, but they can't publicly state that they only activated a few towers in each city to meet their "mid 2012" statement. I was told to turn off the LTE mode for two weeks until it may start working, not exactly the answer I was looking for

Another Sprint Epic Failure - still loyal

Yesterday I drove from DFW to the George Bush Tollway to Plano, then to Addison, then to the Galleria, back to Addison, up the tollway to George Bush highway to 75, up to Allen, across 121 to the Dallas Tollway North, south to Park Road and finally to Plano Parkway and home. I had a 4g signal one time for about 40 seconds and then gone. At no other time that I know of did I have a 4G signal - LTE rollout in Dallas - afraid not!!:crying:

I actually got signal in garland the other day and wow the speed was really good.

I-30 and Broadway.

This is the screenshot if the results but not on the same day, I couldn't verify if signal was any stronger than before.

First is my house, second is my 3g with airwave and the last one is 4g
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lepapirriky:
I went to the same spot last night and got 4g again but this time horrible speeds.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Sawdizzle:
I've had zero issues with my 4G signal. I have it everywhere I go in the North Fort Worth area. I live in Haltom City (820, and 377). I work downtown at the stock yards, Get full 4G at both places. There are some spots on my commute to and from work that I'll get either really weak signal, or lose 4G altogether, but usually for a few moments. Are you guys sure you're switching to CDMA/LTE in the phone settings. Per default its only set to search for CDMA signal.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] VeriSkye:
I've tried near preston and royal, near the galleria and in lakewood and northpark and seen spotty and very week signal only near the galleria the rest have all been 3g. Rather dissapointed
