[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Tomatoes8:
Toshiba most likely buys the panels from Samsung similar to how Meizu bought the Exynos 4412 for their quadcore phone. Although Samsung is pretty well rounded and have expanded since, they are first and foremost a manufacturer. Meaning, they make most of their dough selling ram, displays, and CPU chip solutions to people like Apple and Toshiba. Don't quote me on it but I am pretty sure the Toshiba 7.7 screen is the exact same one in the Tab 7.7.

Sony makes their own OLED technology but they prefer to use white LEDs in theirs. LG I have no idea what they do.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ThE_SoUrCe:
loved the forum thread, makes me want to eat buttered pop corn while reading. PED vs TZMN lol

at least, it's samsung's strive for innovation, in a way that they did the AM to the OLED.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Mister_Mxyzptlk:
I'll go ahead and quote you; the Excite 7.7 DOES use a Samsung panel. Also, Sony only makes their own OLED panels for large displays (TVs). Their mobile tech (PS Vita) uses Samsung panels.

Ha i wouldn't give them high praise because some of their points are right but some are totally, completely wrong. They seem to be arguing for the sake of arguing, trying to force others to knee in vain. You are right, it's like church ladies on quilting night. XD

For example, they are oversimplifying patents, IP, trademarks and copyrights related stuffs and sometime confused with them altogether. Ped said AMOLED is just a brand name which is obviously wrong, though he made many valid points, but not enough to satisfy all questions raised.

In fact, there isn't unversially single patent for everything in OLED, and UD doesn't own them all, because unfortunately many of them were invalidated by other OLED manufacturers some time ago. So i would be worrying the large sum of UD stocks ped is stilling holding. :)

To OP: Samsung might not own all the patents in SAMOLED+ but those who buys SAMOLED+ panels might only care about the cost and the indeminty clauses (indeminty against future patents/licenses disputes) come with the procurement. As long as Samsung sells cheaper SAMOLED+ panel with all the indeminty, other manufacturers are happy.

Tarz was actually starting the thread with the assertion that Samsung and Apple suing each other because they want to increase their bargaining power over IP disputes. He is partially right as the whole thing began with Apple tried to use the court to deferring some of the Samsung's products entering certain markets, while Samsung retributes in hope to force Apple settles.

In my personal opinions Apple is playing very cheap in this, as they are not seeking damages compensation, but rather attempting to defer competitors' launching of new products on time, which would eventually hurt the customers in these regions under injunction order. Customers in the other regions suffer too, because the price would be inevitably raised. Thats all lost one win situation regardless of the legal outcome, where Apple is the only winner because they have huge amount of money on disposal.

Of course, i wouldn't say that in a forum surrounded by mac fans. XD
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ThE_SoUrCe:
all I have to say to apple is that, Iphone is made by Samsung LOL

seriously, apple is killing innovation, god. patent for 'rounded' edges?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] aletheus:
I have a feeling apples 'design' patents will wind up invalidated. They are TOO general, I among MANY others are surprised they were granted in the first place.

so do you think apple was partially to blame for the 7.7's flop?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ascariss:
I think the price was one issue with the 7.7 that made it out of reach of some people, and of course limited availability in some regions.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] adinis78:
Apple has finally realized that Android is unstoppable and closing the gap in the market, they are going against Samsung because they are the only company that is coming out with top of the line devices, both phones and tablets. There is rumors of Apple coming out with a 7" tab, why because 7" tabs are the way to go and Samsung are leading the pack.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] adinis78:
I agree price was an issue but also what hurt them is US carriers not allowing a device with both 3g+wifi. Verizon came out with 7.7" but I am sure it has not sold as many as they would have hoped because it is only a wifi model and expensive even with a contract. It was a stretch for to for $600+ for he P6800 but I am happy with my purchase because it has what I wanted, 3g+wifi and unlocked. Carries need to learn to adopt or have the manufacturers sell them directly to the customers and forgo carriers all together.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ascariss:
Be glad it was even offered in your country, I had to import mine, and opt for the wifi since the 3G was ridiculously expensive. But this is what one pays for such tech, still I doubt the manufacturing price is that high even, for the wifi version.

Personally I am a big supporter of OLED tech, first oled device was the sony X series walkman, then the S2 and now the 7.7. I await the day of an OLED laptop, but I feel that is at least 2-3 years off.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Mister_Mxyzptlk:
You might want to check your facts there bud. The Verizon Tab 7.7 is not only a 3G/WiFi device, but it's also an LTE device. The only thing holding the Verizon Tab 7.7 back is software and carrier subsidy bull****. As far as hardware and build quality go though, the Verizon Tab 7.7 is the best of the three. In addition to the added LTE radio, the Verizon Tab 7.7 also retained the IR emitter that was seen on early engineering samples of the Tab 7.7. I have no idea why Samsung pulled the IR emitter from the GT-P6800 and GT-P6810, but left it in the SCH-I815; but it definitely adds value to the I815.

Anyway, I personally went with the GT-P6810 because I always have a tethering-enabled handset on me and Verizon's pricing/contract for the SCH-I815 was ridiculous. So with an internet connection always in my pocket, buying a tablet with built-in 3G/4G/LTE would only make sense if it were the same price as the WiFi-only model. In my case, at the time of purchase, my GT-P6810 was (U.S.) $439. The GT-P6800 was $549 and the SCH-I815 was $500 w/2 yr. contract or $800 off-contract; a ridiculous price in my opinion. However, in the spirit of honesty and fairness, it is my understanding that the off-contract price of the SCH-I815 has been reduced to a much more reasonable $549, and now has monthly data plans available for it. Nevertheless, the SCH-I815 is definitely the most drool-worthy of the Tab 7.7's.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] aletheus:
The p6800 has a gsm radio, allowing it to make phone calls. Thats what adinis was getting at.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] adinis78:
Mine was an import but bought through a US net retailer.:D
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Mister_Mxyzptlk:
I had to import my P6810 too. Even though Verizon's Tab 7.7 was very appealing, it was still far less expensive to import a P6810 than to buy an I815 on or off contract. However, if the I815 had the same level of development interest as the P68*0, I probably could have justified the extra expense. That IR emitter is really useful for when you're on your Tab 7.7 in the living room; and Verizon's LTE is blazing fast. The I815 is a hell of a device.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ThE_SoUrCe:
as far as I remember, our 7.7was originally intended to compete against the iPad 2, it was like September of that year. iPad was the talk of the town but our tab. a new comer boasting the legendary SAMOLED+ screen, with the dual, 1.4ghz procee couple with the thinnest waistline during those days and packing a 5100 mah batt. it's too much for Apple and will surely hurt their iPad 2 sales. hence, the temporary injunction, delaying the launch by 3 months or so. Wherein people waiting for our 7.7 just bought its little brother. the 7.0 plus

I'm one of those who lose hope when the 7.7 was banned and just pick up a p1000 instead jut to satisfy my tablet hunger

It's really a bummer when carriers need to limit such a wonderful device to earn more. yest they can do this if you love iPad and iPhone, 2 separate entities. but for the Samsung galaxy tab 7 series with complete function, it's ridiculous. I'm using my Tab both as my primary phone and PDA, it serves me well, just waiting for more twirks from SIII lol, like the svoice (speakoit seems to be better for me though)
[Transformer TF300T General] Snyper0012:
I have sucessfully rooted and unlocked my tf300t with the stock rom .30, but i have been reading around the forums about jb4.1 and was wondering whether or not to revert back to stock. Also I was wondering if custom roms will update to jb4.1 and if i need to unroot or revert my bootloader to update to jb4.1 stock? Thanks.
[Transformer TF300T General] atomicblue:
you can't re-lock your bootloader anymore. which means no jb ota update or any other updates from asus ota.

Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T
[Transformer TF300T General] Thomas Vaccarini:
You can always flash stock Rom, even with bootloader unlocked.

When official JB by Asus come, you will be able to flash it too.

About unofficial JB, there is already CM10. It's usable, but some features are yet not working, like Bluetooth...

You can check the topic under tf300 android development forum.
[Transformer TF300T General] Snyper0012:
So i should be able to flash jb4.1 ota when it comes since im still on stock rom? And will i lose my root privelidges when flashing the new update?
[Transformer TF300T General] Thomas Vaccarini:
I don't know if you will be able to get ota update automatically. Our friend above said not. But you still can flash it manually, from stock or from any custom Rom.

About root, you will lose it, but can root again.

If my bootloader is and unlocked andI return my HOX, will At&t still fix it? I know its definitely a hardware problem (main mic doesn't work) so whats your experience with At&t and this kind of issue?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] robertmoore208:
Just relock it , since it takes all of a couple min its a worthwhile step to covering your tracks
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Deleted member 4599355:
Will they generally care if it says RELOCKED instead of LOCKED though?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
When you unlocked your bootloader, you were very clearly warned that you were voiding your warranty. If they see it has been relocked, then yes they very well could turn you away or offer to have the phone repaired at your expense. Your best bet, brick it good so the bootloader is not accessible. ^^^^^^not a reccomendation, just stating options:rolleyes:

[Motorola Droid 4] rubixcube:
Hi guys !

i just found the trick to unable GSM on a droid 4, but just to be sure, is there a SIM slot or micro SIM slot in the droid 4 ? dont want to get the phone and can't use it cause of no sim lol.

TY for answers.
[Motorola Droid 4] mrAdvo:
Yes, microSIM slot under the back cover.
[Motorola Droid 4] Lum_UK:
Microsim... if you have a regular sim then you can just cut it down with scissors, or any independent mobile phone repair place will probably do it for you for cheap.
[Motorola Droid 4] rubixcube:
Or i can ask my provider to change it for free. (yeah my provider do this for free :) )
[Motorola Droid 4] mrAdvo:
And I even suggest you to do that, since sometimes this microSIM which we are making by our hands can lead to some bad behavior :-)

As much as I dislike Crapple and there products I believe that I have to get a Mac for work :/

I was wondering if any of you guys had a Mac and how is it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dz1:
best decision you can make trust me I have had to MacBooks and a mac mini. My Macbook has been nothing but great for college no slow starts, its there when you require it, will not freeze or let you down when you most need it. Theres less malware viruses ect for it so you feel a little more secure. Apple support is a plus this guys will fix any problem you have within warranty and aslong as you did not brake anything on purpose. Besides you can install virtual machine and run windows 8, xp, vista ect its like you have two computers in one.

I work in IT and use them all the time. Actually fixing one right now. And from an IT stand point Macs are no good for buis. And you can run multiple OS's on any PC. That is not a Mac thing they just advertise it because they know you will need windows for something
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Compudizzal:
Once you go MAC you don't go back to "PC"

been in IT since 1982.. been on MAC at my home office for 4 years now. I have 6 laptops of my own and 4 MACS also. 2 mbp, 1 macro, and 1 new while unibody for daughter at college.. I have serviced all pc's from Southern Cali to Washington DC. I have yet to fully need to break down a mac any place ... only hard drives if that. When I repair PC'S laptops at Colleges its always a windows' machine. The reason I switched over was the virus issues with PCs and the constant WTF i need to update today before I start working on my PC. Sure they both have trojans and mail ware. But PC's have viruses and MAC's do not. Meaning PC's can be made inoperable by malicious software a lot more often were as MAC will be used as pons in a greater hacking plan with implanted trojans.... but still operate. Many times without the user ever knowing. Last reason .. economics... take a look at the income scale of MAC user's .. usually a lot higher than your typical PC user. By no means am I saying PC users don't make more money than MAC users.. just are usually in my field experience in a more lucrative high paying career position than a trade "job". Granted you defiantly have infinite more options of software and best of breed hardware options building PC's. If you want to do what you want how you want .. build your own PC box. If you want to power up and get to work on the reason you power'd up every time you power up with out having to restart our machine after using it for extended periods of time opening and closing apps.. going in and out of hibernation/sleep mode for days on end..... MAC is the way to go. .................... on last note.. the pc are great .. mac's are great... the internet is bases off UNIX not DOS. MAC is based off UNIX. If dos went away.. PC would rule hands down. truly its not the hardware man.. its the software that's the issue. I for all OS's merging closely into one within the next 20 years... each upgrade of windows it becomes more MAC. its just how it goes. even Ubuntu with its unity desktop is following suite as well. out of all the computers in my home only one 2 year old Sony has Windows 7 Ultimate on it to flash my GPS and Pimped out Epizzal 4G's Touch..

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lilotimz:
No it's not true because you're comparing computers with intel processors that are far superior to all its predecessors. I can do the exact things you stated with my Core i7-920 machine with no hiccups as well because the jump from Core 2 duo/quad to first gen i7s was 20% increase in performance on average. 2nd generation and 3rd generation are 10-20% better than the first gen nehelams (depending on task).

It does not matter if it's a PC or a Mac. You'll be hard pressed to make any modern CPU from Intel or AMD choke in any way unless you're doing the most demanding of tasks where intel completely dominates.

An updated windows 7 machine from a QUALITY manufacturer (not the cheap hp/dell stuff in retail stores) will last as long as any MBP. There is a reason the commercials stopped. It just didn't work anymore against the improvements in Win 7.

Also i live in the state capital of CA and have family with seniority positions within the gov't and let me tell you. Even though literally everyone has an Ipad...

Out of the thousands of computers, I did not ever encounter mac's in huge quantities. Only windows or custom OS's.

Side note #1 - MBP's use SSD's which allow for insanely fast response times.

#2 - They do get viruses / malware and are usually the fastest to be hacked in any hacking competition due to extensive security vulnerabilities that they take forever to patch which is also one of the main reasons the PCvMac commercials stopped when MS got its act together.

Just bought both an MBA 13" 2012 edition and the Asus Zenbook UX31A. It's my first time using a Mac and I've been a pro-PC person all my life, but I can honestly say that the Air is better than the UX31A, which is the top Ultrabook out right now. The specs are pretty identical, but this is a lot more intuitive and they are basically the same price.

But since this thread is about Android phones, I'll say that I usually just run Parallels to Windows 7 for my Android stuff because I CBA figuring out how Heimdall works instead of Odin haha. Otherwise, I think it's basically the same. Macs are pretty good with automatically finding drivers.
