Not sure but isn't the issue that iPhone was first phone to have multi touch? I think that is what apple is hoping to sue on as they own the patent previous phones were touch but not multi touch. I personally think some things should not be patented to allow technology to progress.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jgalan14:
Actually apple wasn't the first one to have multi touch but the first one to patent it, so like anything in the US is not who makes it is who patents, that's what this country is about from bottle of water to touch screen :/

Had a 3gs for a couple years, was fine once jailbroke and I found apptrackr....really I cant complain THAT much about the iphone, it worked fine for me, the eco system is better for apple, but you have to use that eco system with no options. Loving the S3 and dont see me going back, Im liking android and the S3 and cant wait for the JB update. Now if there was only apptrackr for android....applanet and blapk are ghetto as hell compared to apptrackr, but this is a whole other thread I suppose.

Apple is desperate now that Jobs is gone, they will ride out his left over idea books he left them and once that is done, so are they IMO. Too many phones have been released at this point to kill android, you cant undo this. Not much they can do but enjoy the ride downhill, they have been on top long enough they need to accept it and move on.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] boogyman12:
I just think it's funny how a concept like multi-touch (which was around long before apple used it on the iphone or ipod touch) can be patented. ... "minority report" anyone? that movie had a multi-touch interface. maybe 20th century fox should go after apple for taking their ideas.

I only read he first page of replies to this thread, but I too am an iOS convert (starting today) with my Garnet Red Galaxy S III.

For me, after following iOS since its birth in 2007, the level of change over time has been too minor for me to stand any longer.

After playing with the last 3 beta version of iOS 6, there hasn't been enough change to validate my continued stay in the ecosystem.

I look forward to this new venture :) although I will miss the plethora of quality games and apps in the iOS world.

Hello fellow Android users!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jasvncnt1:
Smart move lol. I was with iphone from day 1..how sad I know. I was jailbreaking and installing all these tweaks. But after awhile the whole thing just got..boring. Got real tired of having to restore...JB again..install all my apps and tweaks. I moved over to Android about a year ago. I thought I was going to have a hard time missing apps and tweaks i once had from the iphone. I can honestly say there is nothing, not one thing I miss. Especially since I dont have to deal with itunes anymore. I hate that crappy software so much! At this point, for me, its safe to say there really is nothing Crapple could offer in the next or any phone that would make me want to go back.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mathewrice:
On iOS, there are just some apps that not only function well be look beautiful too and that is what I will miss the most.

e.g. there are iOS apps like "Delivery Status Touch" or "Tweetbot" that simply set benchmarks for what app aesthetics should be (IMO)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] wiz4769:
I have to admit the only other thing I miss was how well it worked with my car stereo...plug in usb and charges and plays with highest quality audio. Plus the controls most stereos have for iphones...They need to make these work with android devices as well. Just keeping the ipod in the car for now for this reason, but would be nice to only use my phone for this since it has all my music on it...I would rather keep the ipod for car and use the S3 for everything else than go back tho

Indeed and the Siri integration being added to top vehicle manufacturers isn't helping the Android front either.

Glad to know that most cars still support bluetooth pairing.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tyrellcorpnexus:
yeah i've had every iPhone & jailbroken as well, including the 4S, and I'm finding the GNex to be a refreshing change.

Snatched one up right after I/O price drop, and got my order in before the temporary Apple ban (arrived on July 3rd)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sabre31:
Same here had every iPhone except the first model and to me every iPhone has been the same as the last with minor changes the os is very boring. However for the time being iPhone apps and games kill android hands down. The quality of apps and games is just staggering on iPhone I am hoping that changes soon or at least evens out.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Intercrew:
I'm just glad I don't have to deal with iTunes like others who use to own an i-Device. I hated the syncing where if you for example mess up on your apps or you downloaded an app from the internet and wanted to backup your legit app store apps it'll basically erase everything.

Worst part was the "misc memory" for some reason every single time I plugged it into the computer it'll show me 500-1gb of memory taken up by nothing but the system says so cause the memory is corrupt (I've usually managed to fix this by following some guides on deleting particular stuff but that was too pain in the a** to do every single time I plugged the device from time to time).

Only thing I would in particular miss would be some exclusive apps and not having to worry about compatibility issues unless I still owned the first gen iPhone.

I want to go nuts and customize with all the rom/kernel jazz and theme the device like a mad man cause all the themes out there is just ridiculous. Everyone has their own taste and everytime I look at the "post your homescreen" in the general android theme forum or just for the galaxy s3 I'm amazed how it's simple to whip up your creativity with all the launchers and customize-able widgets in the native android os compared to the iOS where if you want to actually "theme" you'll have to jailbreak, download winterboard which is laggy as F*** or dreamboard (pretty neat but still limited to what it can do) and download themes off the web and again not many out there that are "wow this is awesome."

All in all, this is probably the best investment in my life ;)

EDIT: Also forgot to mention that the best part of the android is the performance part. Switching Roms/Kernels and even overclocking your phone is just like a computer. iOS stayed as iOS

I remember when I gave away my white 3gs and bought a G1. It changed my life forever! haha :p

Been in love with android since. And after using a few makes such as HTC, Motorola, and Samsung...I must say that Im loving samsung alot more. I had the one x for a few weeks but couldnt handle not having roms to flash the week I got it. Loving my S3 with jb and amazing battery life.

P.S I review gadgets and can have any phone I want and the phone I like to use is the s3.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] acPIZZA:
I'm completely content now that I switched the blurple for a white one. The only thing that was bugging me was the aesthetic appeal of the phone, but I really love the white. It just makes everything on the screen look that much better. Maybe it's in my head, but the s3 has replaced my I phone. I have a 64 gb sd card card up in here with all my music, pictures and plenty of videos... The thing is simply a powerhouse. Love it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Intercrew:
I have a quick question, I've recently downloaded the S3 Toolkit v2.1

What are some things I should be backing up?

I've tried backing up my nandroid but it brought me to a menu saying:

"This process will guide you through flashing an Insecure boot image via odin with your phone in download mode. Your phone will automatically reboot after flash.

With insecure boot image flashed you will have adb root access to push/pull files and perform other tasks via a command prompt."

Is this safe to do? I mean flashing in general is scarring the sh*t out of me cause of losing the IMEI.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] crash822:
There is a possible imei fix now in the development forum. Best to back it up now if you're still on stock.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] #1RAGE:
I have a SGS3 for my personal use and an iPhone 4S for work. At work I had the choice between iPhone or Blackberry so I chose iPhone. I was actually worried that by getting an iPhone I might start really liking it and maybe ditch Android... but no. The iPhone is boring, dated, small screen, locked down. Android/SGS3 wins hands down.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Nwbie07:
I agree with you 100 percent. I have used two generation of iPhones and recently switched to sgs3. I am not looking back. My iPhone 4 is sitting collecting dust and probably going to be a gift for a relative. I it's unlocked after a 2 year contract. Don't get me started on the "rumor" iP5. If the elongated design is true then it's butt ugly.
[HTC Desire S] PeritoX:
Hello guys,

My RUU is RUU_Saga_S_HTC_ARA_2.14.415.3_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.0

I followed http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1443636 and it worked perfectly ... except nothing got downgraded, the RUU file is not 0.98.0000, instead its still 2.00.0002

thus I can't use Revolutionary to S-OFF.

All I want to do is flash Fallout Evolution V4.4.0 but I'm still stuck at S-OFFing the phone.

What should I do ? Should I download another RUU for example RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.0805U_38.03.02.11_, flash that and then S-OFF and then flash the original RUU_Saga_S_HTC_ARA_2.14.415.3_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.0 again ?

Will that return the S-ON ?

Is there any other method? I'm completely lost now. Please any advice will be great.
[HTC Desire S] skumara:
what exactly you have done?

you should follow step 1 to 6 first.

than flash the RUU brand and region specific.

than you go to revolutionary.to and follow the steps.

what region and brand of phone you using?
[HTC Desire S] suku_patel_22:
Flash the lowest version RUU for your region

Tapatalked from a Desire S waiting for Kernel 3 sources. WAKE UP HTC!!!!!!
[HTC Desire S] PeritoX:
@skumara

yes, I did that exactly. But when my HBOOT version is still 2.00.0002, it wasn't downgraded, so I concluded that the RUU file I downloaded comes with the HBOOT version 2.00.0002 not less.

@suku_patel_22

I searched in the http://www.filefactory.com/f/c64d333a2755a421/

then I searched on google for RUU_Saga_S_HTC_ARA with lower version but didn't find any.

It seems that there is only one version of RUU_Saga_S_HTC_ARA

Any ideas?
[HTC Desire S] skumara:
Do factory reset and try again.
[HTC Desire S] PeritoX:
hey guys,

I just stumbled upon http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Saga

RUU_Saga_HTC_ARA_1.47.415.1_Radio_20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199890_signed.exe is the same region as my phone but comes with different radio, 20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M compared to 20.4801.30.082 2U_3822.10.08.0

should I try to flash that ?

if the answer is yes, should I flash the OTA update

OTA_Saga_S_HTC_ARA_2.14.415.3-1.47.415.1_release_226054u4qq2l6b7pxcvnwr.zip

after that or not ?
[HTC Desire S] skumara:
i guess u need to test each of your step and see if it work.

first try with only RUU_Saga_HTC_ARA_1.47.415.1_Radio_20.28I.30.085AU_ 3805.06.02.03_M_release_199890_signed.exe

than if it didn't work try again with the ota update.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
The OTA will flash hboot 2.00, so what is the point. Repeat the steps you already did according to the guide you mention in the first post but with the older RUU this time. Then use Revolutionary, flash newer recovery and Fallout. Done

If you're referring to the regular Skype issues like problems logging in, logging out, getting stuck, force close etc. then you need to download the modded Skype app: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1148708

This modded version by theos0o is really awesome. It solves most of the headache bugs found in the official Skype app. However, you'll still be experiencing a few disconnects and minor bugs once and a while.

Before installing the modded apk uninstall the official app and I recommend you reboot before installing the modded apk.

PS: The green screen thing can easily be solved by updating the OpenGL drivers to version 2.18.

Thanks, I'll give this a shot. It's not the green screen, my cameras just won't turn on. They work with ooVoo, Yahoo Messenger, and other video chats, just not Skype.

When I installed ROM Manager and clicked 'boot into recovery' it works fine but for obvious reasons I don't trust loading up any kernels, ROMs or mods! Should I try a different recovery? Can I reinstall CWM? I tried several different CWM versions through ROM Manager but still the same result.

For all the crew in this forum how do you see the sprint version of it....its because an uncle is offering me one very cheap but i don't know how good is it compared to our phones and if it is so bad as the Verizon version (no updates, crappy battery, etc) and software related

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bts0004:
My wife has it. It's kind of a wash, IMO. If I were buying a new one, I'd pick it over mine - I do like it better overall. But not something I would re-purchase over my E4GT at this point.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
The hardware on the two phone are about equal with each excelling in different areas. The nexus is much better simply because Google will make sure you get updates for a couple generations. It is cdma so it will face the same issues Verizon's nexus does, but it will still be better off than the epic touch. Depends on how much your uncle is asking for it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dbrowdy:
I don't know where you live, but there's no Sprint LTE where I live. We do have 4G tho, so that makes the choice pretty easy for me. Now that we have ICS on the E4GT, it's an even easier choice.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dbrowdy:
Wait, they can sell a phone branded as "Nexus" without it being officially supported by Google? How does that work?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
It is supported by Google as all nexus phones are. It is just not part of aosp, meaning you can't flash aosp and have everything work. It has to do with proprietary drivers related to cdma that Google can't open source. Verizon worked with Google to find some type of loophole that allowed them to open source it. But they are both supported by Google, they both will receive long term Google support, they both will get updated slightly after their gsm counterparts. They both will be updated much longer than the epic touch.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] littlewierdo:
Hey guys, did a quick Google search on this and didnt see any answers to this bizarre quirk.

I am on non-rooted ICS (stock) - no comments from the peanut gallery about this. Once CM is stable enough that I feel I can use it, Ill switch.

Now, on to the problem.

I installed Chrome and set it to the default browser (but Ill probably change it considering what Im about to post) and set the home page to google.

I begin typing a search query, for example, 'Samsung AT&T No' and Google presents some suggestions of what it thinks Im going to actually search for. Tapping ANY of these suggestions hides the suggestion list and does NOT fill in my query with the suggestion I tapped. In addition, the keyboard is also hidden until I tap in the query edit field again.

In addition, Id like to just state for the record, xda is TERRIBLE on mobile (the website). I dont know what this new 'theme' is but it is barely functional on mobile, on the desktop, the website is completely broken in Firefox (14.0.1 w/ No Script and Tree Style Tabs plugins installed - and yes, I am enabling scripting for XDA).

So, I have reverted to the old xda theme until this is fixed.

BUT, does anyone know what is wrong with Chrome?

Okay this is driving me crazy. All my photos are synced to my nexus from my phone and Google plus. The problem is that all of my photos that come from my phone are under the same album called instant upload.

Is this possible?
[Nexus 7 General] bmar29:
Bump anyone?
[Nexus 7 General] plasticdarlow:
Not sure if I completely understand, but you can add instant uploads to created albums in Google+ (on the the web) and they will sync through picasa and show up in your gallery. If you want to do it on your phone/tablet just upload the images to picasa. Make sense?
[Nexus 7 General] jaysus145:
I do this all the time... from my computer.

Log into Picasaweb site, browse to the Instant Upload folder, click organize, select the photos you want to move, then move them to a new album.

You can probably do it from your tablet if you force the desktop version of Picasaweb, but that would be a pain in the neck for me... I am in from of my computer all day, so I just organize my instant upload folder once a week or so when I have a few spare minutes.
[Nexus 7 General] cenkoloji:
This is the way

Hello,

This is how I do.

1) Go to google+ > Photos > Instant Upload

2) Select the photos you want to move to an album, click on "add to album" on the right up.

3) Although they are in albums, they'll still show up in instant upload. To remove them go to picasaweb > Instant Upload folder. Click Organize, select all photos and delete. This will delete them from instant upload in google+, but they'll stay in albums.

Still, maybe try with 1-2 photo first, and proceed for all if works.
