Backward movement

This move by Apple is definitely and totally a blessing in disguise for Android. Apple acted the same way like Nokia did.

In Nokia's domination, they thought the mobile technology is already on their palms - that there will be nothing better to their phones.

So basically, they just changed the "looks" of their phones, improved the camera & screens, garnished a lil bit on their UIs but

none of those changes could be considered as a real huge innovation.

Until Steve Jobs harvested his apples and sold them to the market. The rule of the game has been changed. People realized

they've been crunching rotten OS that has just been covered with different packagings. So they switched to the fresh "fruit".

But Jobs was tremendously overwhelmed by the hype created by his good advertisements, so he just sat down - watched his

apples eaten slowly by these cute little green robots. This scene was actually perhaps entertaining to him because he thought

those are just little harmless robots so he continued ripping people's money and gave them a little improvement in return. Confident

enough that he didn't bother to add more cool and useful features that the green robot is already giving to the educated users now.

But as the old impression goes, "Some people will open their umbrellas when they're already soaked in the rain".

Jobs eventually felt the pain in his pocket, so he started blowing the green robots out from his apple garden. But this robots

created a new element better than Iron Man's source of strength! So the harder Jobs tried to stop them from eating his Apples,

the greater they became! As a result of this exhausting battle, Jobs acquired a disease that even his billion dollars can't cure!

(Karma?) Now while the "legacy" of apple for suing different companies continue, the LEGACY of Android for innovation gets better

and better. Apple might have poisoned the brain of Patent Office but not the users. The eager they blatantly attack Android, the eager

people will seek the truth. These will also force consumers, even those apple fanboys to compare Android and Apple's real

performance which will just reveal how far is the distance apple has to travel to match up with android's panache!

And while the fruit company is busy practising their patents, Google is riding a spaceship towards monstrous OS which always

makes my nipples get so hard!

Now with all seriousness I have, it is a natural tendency for the person to feel sick of seeing the same thing over and over again, just like

what the iShits have became. People need a new outlet, stolen or not, beneath their urge, they want something other than Apple's product.

Just how they're wrong for thinking that the speed of their success is relentless, is how Android will surpass these hard times with

flying colours! I guess that's what really happen when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object! - Joker

I won't be dedicating much time on an apple related topic... ignoring everything that has to do with Apple is the best way for a consumer to hurt them :p

Im allergic to apples anyway.

Whatever happens android will survive and after eyefone 5 that will come out, samsung will drop it's hardware support and they will die a slow death.

There's no way samsung is gonna provide chips, screens for the next one.

It's impossible for me to describe how much I hate that one company and it's users.

This is sad
[Galaxy S III General] jgalvez21:
they were, but remenber apple didnt invent multitouch either, in california 2006 they were already showing prototypes and nokia was showing videos of their future interface.
[Galaxy S III General] withbloodskies:
Was fixing to say.. Apple didn't invent a lot of stuff they use.

A lot of stuff we use has been mentioned or at least somewhat shown off but never finished.
[Galaxy S III General] dr.m0x:
Great story. By the way are you a Viking? All that nipple talk has me suspicious.
[Galaxy S III General] fwdkiller:
I love apple who cares what happens happens.its not their fault that they're protecting there investment.i still use android 1/3 of the time only to tether to my laptop thats it.why does it matter if they lose or win it doesn't help u in anyway or form, this is what big companies do go after each other.
[Galaxy S III General] slaphead20:
If they stop this patent war and learn to live and let live then us,, the consumer, would potentially see a price drop, and lots of leech lawyers would be out of work :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::D

My S3 will never be an apple product I hate apple they want your money to lock you in with them do you ever get a upgrade on there phones...NO they all look the same and the software is s***

I have never and will ever own a product created by apple

Rant over :)
[Galaxy S III General] Zabalba:
I can only speak for myself, but I know when I get angry/upset/bothered by something it usually is because I do not understand the situation.

I used to be upset at Apple for their tactics but then I understood.

Of course these are generalizations do not always apply. Corporations do not have any moral obligations to play fair. The only obligations they have are to the shareholders and the law. One of their main tasks is to increase profit margins each year, forever. They will do everything in their power to stay ahead. It's not Apple's job to make sure the US patent system is protecting the consumer and other corporations. It's Apple's job to leverage the legal system to it's benefit.

So if anyone is to blame for Apple's behavior, it is the patent system that allowed it to express itself in that manner.
[Galaxy S III General] nodstuff:
The last apple product in our household was a Macintosh classic II.

Never had an iPod or iPhone nor will I ever buy one.

I hope apple get their comeuppance and I hope Steve Jobs is burning in hell. (There is no hell but its a nice expression)

Now the galaxy tab 7.7 has been banned in Europe and they are looking for 2.5bn dollars compensation in the U.S.

People need to start speaking with their wallets and boycott apple products.
[Galaxy S III General] dlads:
Never bought an apple device, never will, don't care what they offer me, they're all just plain greedy and all they want is more control and obviously more cash.

Apple have policies in place that they can't change, this new iphone that's coming out this year has to be a massive improvement over it's prior models, but i don't see how they can do that without changing a policy or two, something which they'll never do.

IOS will never be open source, IOS will always try to be in control.

Android always will be open source, Android will always give you a choice, giving you control.

Win for google. :)
[Galaxy S III General] Zabalba:
Possibly the average user could care less about what exactly Apple is doing behind the scenes. In a world where smart phone purchase cycles are every two years for the average user, a boycott would be ineffective. Also those who already switched from iOS to Android and stuck around will probably do so regardless. Guilt is not an effective marketing scheme from the opposition. It will only reinforce their bias to Apple.

All corporations are like this. Google's business is big data and advertising. The purpose of Android was to be free so they can promote their adverts.
[Galaxy S III General] delsus:
I'm just waiting for Samsung to stop selling chips to Apple after this then Apple will slowly die. Other companies like ARM care about reputation if Apple has a bad reputation it will damage other companies that deal with Apple.

Apple know they cannot beat android through software or hardware so they take this route all Google need to do is get their Motorola patents out and iPhone at least will be doomed.

To an extent yes, but name me a more greedy corp other than apple? None are so controlling in everything that they do the way apple are.

Which was my point.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-touch

By the way, apple didn't invent multi touch either, so not sure how they can patent something that they did not originally invent.

This whole argument is flawed beyond belief.

Far too generalistic and annoyingly tedious.
[Galaxy S III General] Arsaw:
Apple patented things that are not even their works. They manipulating the laws to kill competitors which also kills innovation. If every tech company behaving like Apple, then the only loser is us, the consumers.
[Galaxy S III General] delsus:
Didn't theybuse multiple-touch on star trek as well, before Apple released they iPhone so they have more reason to patent the tech than Apple.

My money says Apple executives bribed the decision makers I would not put that one past them because Apple didn't invent the tech or gestures, is it now illegal for me to move my fingers in and out now? Because I could be pretending to zoom in and out.

Apple are a virus a plague of this world, and android is the cure.

Edit: let's not forget my Siemens A50 had a list of contacts long before the iPhone was released they do not own lists and never will.

Where are they suing the BBC over iPlayer it could be mistaken for iPhone and prevents an iPhone and iPad video player with thwarted same name.

this is BS, apple has copied heaps of features from android... status/notifications bar for one..

apple tried patenting the multi touch screen... they didnt even ****ing create it!!!

btw.... steve jobs was a ****** and hes good where he is... 6 feet under!
[Galaxy S III General] slicingtaco:
They are pathetic!!!!

They only way Apple is able to actually compete with Android is by using lawsuits and court.

Apple reminds me of a little 3 year old (apple) who always tells on his mom (court) whenever his 6 year-old neighbor (Android) got a better looking toy than him.

[Galaxy S III General] meniak:
Can't really blame them for that, that's how the company rolls and apparently there's a big market for it. Apple controls their users, google lets the users control it themselves. It's rather visible in everything both companies do. Apple uses their own standards for chargers and all sorts of connections to keep control in-house, Google follows standards and lets users decide where they buy their additional hardware.

As much as I hate how Apple is acting, there's no denying that someone who has absolutely no affinity with technology is better off with an Iphone than he is with an Android-device (or they buy an Android and let an 8-year old install MIUI on it. :) ). I've had people asking me to install their E-mail on an Iphone cause they had absolutely no clue where to look for it, so even the Iphone should be more dumbed down for people like that.

Another difference in my opinion between Android and Iphone users is that alot of Iphone users see their phone as a status-symbol (I wonder how many big business-men would buy an Iphone if it would cost less) or just to blend in with the rest but they just use their phone in the same way they would use a Nokia 3310. (just ask the majority of people owning an Iphone if they use the app-store, you'll be surprised how many will just look at you strangely)

What I want to say is this: lots of people are scared when it comes to technology and even a dumbed down OS that sports nothing more than a few tiles on a homescreen is a huge step for them. To make it complete, a charismatic moron comes on stage and talks to a crowd in a language everyone can understand, showing them features other OS'es already have but don't make a big fuss about, and sells it as the most revolutionary thing since the lightbulb. There still is a big market for that but this is as big as that market will get.
[Galaxy S III General] mikehiow:
That article is hugely biased towards Android.

Let's not forget the ridiculous patent suits that the likes of Samsung etc. have made against Apple.

If Apple actually ever get anywhere with this patent, it's so general they'll be forced to licence it. The issue is whether Google or the OEMs will take this or fight to the death over it. The
[Galaxy S III General] oreo:
I seriously think these patents are b.s.... how can you patent something related to how you use an input device... a touchscreen is an input device you have to use your fingers to manipulate it... it's like saying I'm going to patent how you use the mouse, I invented the double click so you can't double click... I invented the drag and drop so you can't drag and drop etc... that is so b.s.... you can't have patents over such things just like you can't have patents on how you tie your shoelaces... judges these days are so technically incapable of understanding modern technology that they just allow apple to abuse the patent system... Steve jobs didn't freaking invent these things these are natural human interactions...
[Galaxy S III General] delsus:
Apple will never license their patents and they will just bribe judges to see in apple's favor they have no morals and never will if money can get them out they will pay anything.
[Galaxy S III General] shaggydabbydo:

Samsung should just stop selling components to Apple, period.

So you've taken a clearly troll comment by a dead Steve Jobs and assume that the people now no longer under his control are going to bribe judges, kill kittens and burn Bibles?
[Galaxy S III General] Amrut223:
Look everyone right now is being trolled by the media. If Apple have these patents and they try to "destroy" android as the websites have put it. This would be Anti Competitive and would not be allowed by the courts. Apple can try all they like but when it falls to destroying the competition it will not happen.
[Galaxy S III General] slicingtaco:
That's exactly what their doing as we speak (Anti Competitive)

And its being allowed to this day, and has to stop. Why can't crapple just compete without ever taking someone to court????? When will it ever end??? "Play Fair"
[Galaxy S III General] -josh-:
Lol apple didn't even invent the name iphone it was copy righted long before they even had the idea of creating a phone by a little company who were making an internet phone (if I recall the story correctly).

Obviously they just took the name and used it anyway refusing to even discuss it with the little company.

Same old apple with their double standard corporate bull****.
[Galaxy S III General] airman410:
First, the title of this thread is wrong and intentionally been to troll.

Second, the patents that apple has been awarded with many of it's products, but mostly with the iPhone, have been over-reaching and potentially devastating to the ability of any other company to create competing products. Imagine if Henry Ford had patented the idea of the assembly line, if the Wright Brothers had patented the airplane, etc... completely stifling the ability of anyone else to create competing products, expand upon and improve their ideas, and innovate further.

Of course, my initial statement of Apple's patents being devastating to competition is itself a rather far reaching statement. Android has obviously been hugely successful, to the point of being the most widely used smartphone OS in the world. However, if Apple's patents were consistently enforced, word for word, verbatim, then Android and all other current smartphone OS' would have been obliterated. Leaving the iPhone as the only option if you want a smartphone. Imagine if the only mass produced car that you could buy was a Ford, because Henry Ford made it impossible for any other company to use an assembly line.

Granting a patent for something as vague and far reaching as, "Portable multifunction device, method, and graphical user interface for translating displayed content," is ridiculous and can have horrible consequences for anyone else who tries to create a competing product. Bottom line, I think that it's time for reform at the patent office.

[General Questions and Answers] cemslam:
Here is a quick question:

Is there a possibility to root a few (3 or more) Android tablets at the same time and with the same computer? Because, I have to root a few systems, but it will take some time to redo the same handling on all the tablets. If yes, which software do I have to install? :confused:
[General Questions and Answers] FREAK0N:
i dont think thats posible... im not sure... but cant imagine a software sending the same data to all the USB Ports...

Im just guessing tough
[General Questions and Answers] cemslam:
It would be great if someone made this kind of a program. It won't be so difficult, I guess.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] shadeslader:
So I decided it'd probably be a good idea to finally upgrade as I was sitting on Emancipation AI So I tried flashing Dark Knight upon first flash everything worked, so I rebooted recovery from "green" to CWM 5.5.0.4 "Blue" I got the rainbow bug but was able to flash again, I then got stuck in the CWM 5.5.0.4 boot loop. I managed to get out of that by flashing Emancipation back but then I've been stuck in between Voodoo lagfix "red" and a bootloop of the samsung loading screen. I am now unable to get the phone out of voodoo recovery. And the kicker is that the DarkNight now gets errors while flashing so It fails to install:

Normally I'd just boot the phone into download mode but for some reason none of my computers are able to recognize the device, so I tried 2 Win 7 x64 machines one sees that something is plugged in but automatically "installs" and empty driver for it even If I manually go through Device manager and try to upgrade to the actual driver but it says the driver is up to date and just reloads the empty driver, the other Win 7 x64 machine doesn't even recognize that the device is plugged in, I've tried to install the driver Via Kies for both the Infuse and the captivate didn't work on either machines I even found a rar named SGH-i997_Infuse4G_USB_Drivers_5_2_0_2.zip that didn't work either, I then proceeded to try to get the phone to be recognized both on a laptop running MacOSX 10.6.5 and ubuntu 11.10 neither found the device either. I used multiple(3-4) USB cords all had the same result.

So any help is appreciated
[Samsung Infuse 4G] isaiahe97:
Does heimdall work at all
[Samsung Infuse 4G] shadeslader:
nope heimdall/odin or anything used to interact with the phone via usb does not work. As no computers will recognize the device. I tried using the drivers manually through windows but kept getting errors. I even tried using the drivers included with Super One Click to no avail.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
Try flashing emancipation again...might take two flashes...if that doesn't work the when in red cwm go under advanced and enable or disable voodoo lagfix...which ever its currently set to set the opposite
[Samsung Infuse 4G] shadeslader:
I've tried flashing emancipation multiple times, I have also messed with the voodoo settings I was still stuck in bootloop, I'm going to try it again both ways but I doubt it will change.

EDIT:

Flashed emancipation with

lagfix :enabled

nextboot: disabled

/system lagfix conversion: no

debug: no

to no avail

Now going to try with everything enabled

Re-Edit:

Still stuck on boot
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
Hmmm...so you can't get any computer to detect it...you tried every port??? I'm really kinda at a lost...maybe your USB port is borked on the phone...idk, best advice I can give is to keep flashing....when the first cm9 was released, I flashed it while on vacation away from a computer...I was in the same situation as you...couldnt get it to boot into any Rom...just kept looping but I could still get recovery...so I just kept trying to flash...after an hour of flashing it finally took one of the flashes and booted me into a gb rom-don't remember which gb Rom...again this was a long time ago...when the first cm9 build was released for us...

I think I wiped everything in mounts and storage except the actual sd card or wherever the Roms were that I was trying to flash...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] shadeslader:
alright yeah I've been flashing the rom constantly for 3 days now under different settings, I'll continue trying but I don't know if it will do anything. :/

EDIT: I also have an error while mounting and formatting /system

that's also why I can't use any backups

it says

E: Can't mount /dev/block/st19 (file exists)

error mounting /system/!

[Galaxy S III Accessories] hiddengopher:
Hi all, I've had countless numbers of phone cases and have to make the recommendation of three specific brands.

SGP: Beautiful, clean, thin cases. Definitely my top pick.

Seidio: Well-made, heavy duty cases at a great price.

OtterBox: Fort Collins, Colorado based company that contributes thousands to local charities and teams (gave my robotics team $6,000), provides very heavy duty cases at the expense of style. If you need something that you can throw out a window, this is your best bet.

That's what I've gathered from my experiences, what do you have to recommend? Shout below. :good:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] babymatteo:
Incipio: affordable and complete protection with style, comfort, and innovation.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Tomatoes8:
I am a total case hoarder with every phone I purchase and it has always came down to Casemate or SGP or Samsung. With the GS3 a little known company called Capdase might actually be the winner.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] hiddengopher:
Wow! I'm going to check out all three of those.

Upon a day's worth of research, it looks like SGP's quality has dropped...hard. :crying:

PS: Where can I buy a Capdase case? They look great, but I can't find a website that sells them.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] MatUK.8:
I saw that someone said the aluminum case for capdase affects your signal. I got the SGP Neo Hybrid it is pretty nice. But if looks don't matter as much to you, it is really just a fancy TPU case so get a $10 TPU case.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Mansquared:
Yea we need to find a way to buy these capdase cases...very nice
[Galaxy S III Accessories] hiddengopher:
Are you having the button sensitivity issues everyone else is having?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] keyzjh:
Incipio is my top pick for TPU cases. Their NGP cases are thicker and slicker compared to generic TPU ones.

SGP is one of my favourites as well, well at least until after they solve the button issue on the Neo Hybrid.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] hiddengopher:
The Incipio NGP case looks great. Do you know if the edges peel up easily?
