[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] King Shady:
Apple deserves to win this case. Look at the points and cases they are bringing up against the Galaxy S 1. The UI was completely ripped off of them. In addition, Samsung's lawyers are a bunch of jackasses in court (read the Verge if you dont know what Im talking about). Now... some of the new patents Apple is getting are utter bull****. I was pissed when they tried to ban the GNex because of the search patent .

---------- Post added at 06:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:49 AM ----------

I lol'd. The Galaxy S3 pales in design when comparing it to those two
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] wiz4769:
Guys you cant ban something that already has tens of millions in the wild. Apple is definitely worried, because Steve only left them so much on his notes he kept and the iphone train is going to run out of steam after the next 2 iphones you mark my words, that is all he left them.

Buy another phone if you want, nothing in life is certain, but I would not worry one minute and use the phone you want now. Its already the best thing out there as is, once JB rolls out its a done deal. They have a removable battery and SD slot, doesnt sound like an iphone clone to me...And who cares if they ban the S1, its a totally different phone and old as hell to boot, it aint gonna happen. They must stop it before its released or it just doesnt work.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Halmo:
Why do you need support from Samsung? Just root and install custom roms, my old HTC Hero on Telus took over a year to get an update from 1.6 to eclair, but by then I was already running a custom rom.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] catchesbass:
I didn't mean to start an apple vs Samsung vs one x discussion. Honestly, I am amazed at how far mobile phones have come since I got my first Motorola Star Tac when I was in the military. I am just concerned about the future of my s3 in the event that apple wins in court. That said, I can see where apple is coming from. However, without competition from other manufacturers, there will be very few more advancements in the industry. Especially if every time someone produces a product that may or may not be better than apple, apple sues that company into submission. Imagine how it would be if car companies did the same thing. Or even something as simple as clothes detergent. My concern is not whether or not Samsung "will" support the s3 but whether not they will be able to due to restrictions placed on them by the courts that may prevent them from having the ability to support and improve on the s3
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hapticxchaos:
i lol'd at your lol. ur crazy dude
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Deputy13:
the red s3 came with the ota update already installed so at this point there isnt anything to check
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] catchesbass:
I realize that currently the phone is up to date. However, my concern is with future updates. Jelly Bean for example. The JB update is due out pretty soon. But that aside, I just prefer everything to function correctly when I make a purchase. Especially when it is an upgrade and has contractual obligations.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cue_32:
It's the flagship phone for at least this year...there are millions sold, why wouldn't Samsung continue to update it?

If Apple wins and they ban sales, it just means we're lucky...cause others will have to pay a lot more just to get this phone.

If Apple wins and Samsung is forced to remove these "features" from current devices, then we'll be the first to get to enjoy these new, better features that will be more intuitive.

So yeah...I wouldn't worry about it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] composi:
Not for nothing...the S3 is an ugly mofo...I love mine, but I as far as design, my GNex destroys the S3...although as soon as the black one comes out I will have no beefs...its pretty much in the colors they offer
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mdg071191:
From what I gather, Apple is upset because Samsung is using square icons, and they, too, use square icons. I dunno, to me, the whole thing is just stupid.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Phoneguy589:
I'm glad Samsung didn't copy the metal outer band so I lose reception when I hold the phone lol.

Sent from my CM10 powered SGS3 i747.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sabre31:
Instead of suing everybody Apple should get of the lazy chair and innovate again. The iPhone is the next blackberry same old design and same old os with minor improvements this is what killed blackberry and apple is headed down the same path. They fear Samsung because Samsung is only company giving them serious competition and can steal their market share. Last report said 68% of Android shipped this quarter compared to something like ³²% of iPhone. The only thing apple has going is their game apps once they lose that they are done.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] uglyren:
Not sure people realize this but the S3 is not part of the current lawsuit. If Apple wins they can't ban this model. They'll need to bring another lawsuit against the S3 to ban it.

Also the current generation touch wiz GUI takes the current lawsuit into consideration I think. At least according to my understanding of The Verge coverage of this trial.

Besides that Android is not on trial so worse case scenario you get pure Android AKA Jellybean on your phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BuddhaMunx:
I am running JB now, ofc it is Cm10 previews but IMHO it runs way better than the stock with touchwiz overlay, idk how willing you are to flash a different ROM and such, but as soon as I could move from the stock I flashed to another ROM...OFC you loose a lot of features that Samsung's touchwiz brings (which some I love) but its not worth it to me, I like the stock feel of Android :good::laugh:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ThatJawn:
He isn't crazy. He is quite honestly right.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stan.s:
A couple of points:

A) apple does not sue Google because android doesn't have any direct cost or profit to calculate profits and damages.

B) international gs3 (as well as international gs2 and gs) have been removed since the suit is about usa devices.

C) parts of the suit are about trade dress (how the phone is packaged), and how the phone looks physically, how the icons look, and how icons are laid out on the screen, and how your fingers on the screen interact with objects displayed.

Imho some of the patents are silly and too logical to stand. (icons in a grid) The ones that users should fear losing (like universal search) are:

Two finger zoom

Single tap to resize

I find it very sad that these companies are pricing a few patents at the same cost of an entire OS for mobile phones, and calling that reasonable.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] iNcRiMiNaTi:
Man this whole thing about apple trying to ban sales because they're saying samsung ripped them off is hilarious. This started a few months ago right? Then they go and patent this a few months later... http://www.complex.com/video-games/2012/07/apple-ios-game-controller-patent-uncovered I hope sony bans this or sues them if they release it so they know what it's like

::::::::::::::::::::::::EDIT:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Bin4ry has come up with a way to root many android phones

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=31545627

UltimateSeo at Android Forums has made a version that will work on the Hydro

http://androidforums.com/hydro-all-things-root/619232-kyocera-hydro-confirmed-working-root.html

I will leave the info in this thread intact, someone may find some use for it

::::::::::::::::::::::::EDIT:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Hi all

I am new here, I hope it is OK that I posted this in this forum, if not please delete.

I could not find the ADB USB drivers for the Kyocera Hydro, on the Kyocera web site, so I decided to modify the Kyocera Milano driver to work with this phone

View attachment 1259564

This driver is for Windows 32/64 systems, and does not have an install utility, you have to manually install from the device manager.

I did this so that I could start trying to find a root exploit on this phone, so far I have had no luck, but I have never tried to find an exploit before, so I am a noob at it.

Maybe if we get more people looking at it, we can find something.

In my opinion the security seems pretty tight, the kernel is patched to other ICS kernel exploits, the file permission are very strict, there is no way to access the boot loader/fastboot that I know of with button combos, or doing an “adb reboot bootloader” command, the stock recovery has less options than most stock recoveries.

I do not think I have the skills needed to find an exploit, I am hoping some mad genius will come along and be able to find one, of course they will be given full credit for doing such. I am going to post some information and files that may help us find an exploit, please see post number three.

For those who may know me, I am not really starting to do any dev work again just yet, I just want my new phone to be rooted, so that I can do dev work on it at some later time

If we are able to get root, this will probably be the thread I release any stuff I make for this phone, so I made a few "reserved posts" hope that is OK

I am going to put information and some files in this post that may help someone find a vulnerability, of course there are a lot of things I cannot get because the phone is locked down

General Info

This phone has an MSM8655 processor and the ROM and Kernel seem to be made from CAF (Code Aurora) source code using the msm7630_surf platform , of course it would have been modified a lot by Kyocera

Android Version 4.0.4 - Build IML77 - Kernel Version 3.0.8-perf

Dump of /system, "adb pull / c:\dump"

It is not a complete ROM, it is only the files I was able read and pull from ADB, it cannot be used for anything, but maybe someone who looks at it may find a hole somewhere.

Kernel configuration “adb pull /proc/config.gz”

Mounts "adb shell mount > hydro_mounts.txt"

Folder Permissions “adb shell ls –l –R / > hydro_permissions.txt”

The /data folder is locked down tight so there really is no info about it there, this was a big text file, so I had to zip it

Another thing that may be a potential vulnerability is

This seems to be the Kyocera System Updater

I really would not know how to exploit this, but I figured I would just point it out, and I am trying to get past my 10 post thingy

[General Questions and Answers] hroark13:
I have tried using the debugfs exploit from miloj, but /data/local is owned by root so I can not "mv /data/local/tmp /data/local/tmp.bak"

I have tried the mempodroid / mempodipper exploit from saurik but that vulnerability seems to be patched in this kernel

I have also tried some of the older GB exploits methods with no luck
