I wonder if the entire Samsung Conglomerate has the ability to buy out Apple. For the good of the world.
[Galaxy S II General] ANDROID_NOOB_0101:
it is only the carrier versions of the galaxy s2 that are covered by the ruling, the sim free version is not affected
[Galaxy S II General] drelite08:
Hope that's true. Doesn't mention that in the acricle does it? Unless I missed it being half asleep when I dud read it :D
[Galaxy S II General] saywhatt:
"Pinch to zoom was first

dreamt up

decades ago by Myron Krueger and the University of Toronto developed and published papers on virtually equivalent technology almost 25 years prior to Apple producing its first multi-touch device (the iPhone), but Apple claims to have "invented" pinch-to-zoom as it appeared to be the first to do it in the context of a capacitive multi-touch screen."

These guys are actually serious? REALLY?

This is like the world's greatest robbery.

By banning Samsung products, Apple is somewhat monopolizing. I guess they couldn't handle competition, so the only thing they'll do is to sue the competitor..

If you guys read the comments below the article, you'll LYFAO :P Apple fanboys' comments sound pathetic to me.

WE LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE INNOVATION IS AKA INFRINGEMENT
[Galaxy S II General] lurker316:
I hope its true, that the ruling only applies to carrier galaxy s2 phones. I am not a developer or rooter or a user of custom roms. Too afraid and lack probably the knowledge to do all that jazz my S2. I rely primarily on stock roms from Samsung to update my phone. And to think the next update may just remove such "basic" features from my S2 is not a happy thought. :(

Damn Apple and its dirty tricks!
[Galaxy S II General] Rick Roll:
Meanwhile, Samsung is producing A5X and A6 processors in your factories. :laugh:

In 1995, there was an opening from a Soap Opera in Brazil that a man uses tap to zoom in something like a tablet.

[Galaxy S II General] donkeyhitman:
Pardon my ignorance, and sorry to our american peers, but even if this decision ultimately stands, wouldn't it just affect U.S. devices and their roms? And since I9100 is the international version of S2, until the courts from other countries come to the same verdict, how is the upcoming firmware updates affected?
[Galaxy S II General] cop1976:
Its not affected at all, for samsung USA Its only one of the market, maybe big but not more important than rest of the world and thats mean nothing for everyone else.

[Galaxy S II General] Testraindrop:
That ruling is very interesting, not only for Samsung or Android, but for every other Touch OS also:

-Tap to zoom

-2 finger zoom

-swipe to unlock

-hiding scrollbar

-Icon layout with fixed icons at the bottom (phone, sms etc)

-multitouch gestures

All patents of Apple now, so officially every manufacturer would have to remove those features...

I hope Google doesn't remove them from AOSP, but fight IF Apple starts a lawsuit against them.

btw. now I know why the S3 has that water unlock screen and no visible swipe to unlock gesture^^

[Nexus S General] dwielunski:
The Sprint Nexus S 4G was found to infringe Apple's software patents on bounce back scrolling, and one-finger scroll/two-finger zoom (pinch to zoom). It was found not infringing on double tap to zoom. The regular Nexus S was not part of the case.

Discuss.

Edit: user Camlee showed that the original GB NS4G does have the bounce back effect in the app drawer

[Nexus S General] MRsf27:
I don't have a nexus s 4g but I'm pretty sure the nexus s and s4g are exactly the same except the fact that s4g can support a 4g network correct? now if the s4g "infringes" on apples patents, how does the NS not? oh my god... It's funny, this whole apples vs samsung case is everywhere, atleast 100 threads on xda and I can't get enough of them.:p
[Nexus S General] jacob66:
My Nexus is still better than any Iphone out and any Iphone to come.
[Nexus S General] xboxfanj:
You are correct that the network is different, but its not only 4g that's different. The 3g and 2g are cdma/evdo on the ns4g, but on the ns, its gsm/hspa. But definitely, it makes no sense that the ns4g is infringing and ns isn't.
[Nexus S General] Grahaman27:
wait hold up- this phone was found guilty of infringing on apple's bounce-back scrolling patent? this phone? the one that came with gingerbread at launch? that ever since then has used the same "glow" animation specifically to avoid this problem?

apple show me where it does, you lying bastards.
[Nexus S General] jeremy112683:
How its looks nothing like apple. What are they trying to have a monopoly on smart phones? Or because it was a Google phone
[Nexus S General] niteh@wk:
Who was on crack??

When judge Koh said apple's lawyer was on crack, she forgot that it was actually the jurors that were on crack. It was supposed to take them more than three days to go through all the questions, and they came up with the verdict quick. They even screwed up in the verdict awarding the damages the Galaxy Tab 10.1 LTE infringing $219,694 but they didn't find it actually infringe anything.. What? Bunch of crackheads? The Nexus S 4G and the Nexus S (GSM) are the exact same models, except for CDMA with 4G vs GSM. Why is one infringing and not the other? More crackheads?

http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=2012082510525390

Apple's ultimate target is not on Samsung, it's on the Android ecosystem Apple is seeing as a real threat.. Yep, Apple, you should be scared.

[Nexus S General] MajorKC:
The case is a interest start of more to come. Its basically going to justify apple go after any smartphone that LOOKS like an iphone. Apple has been having lawsuits all over the world about this, but this time they won big in the U.S so now they are going to see how far they can go.
[Nexus S General] yfan:
I had been thinking about this myself - why the NS4G got slapped with a violation but not the original NS. There is no conceivable technical reason for this. Except one. Apple did not include it in the lawsuit. Why? Because the original Nexus S is NOT sold in the same places as the iPhone. Remember that of the big 4, only T-mobile does not have the iPhone. And who sells the original Nexus S? Yup. The NS4G is sold by Sprint, who also sells iPhones.

This is more evidence that this is nothing more than Apple trying to clear out competition, and has nothing to do with any actual intellectual property rights.
[Nexus S General] p.pavljasevic:
I would love to see this lowsuit between apple and motorolla.

I think the only reason apple won its becouse samsung is from korea.

Wonder what the outcome would be if the two parties were both from the states.
[Nexus S General] vetvito:
^ the larger company would win, simple as that.

Motorola won against Microsoft, Xbox 360, Windows 7 and various other products infringe on Motorola's patents. Motorola asked to ban these products but Senators and other government authorities stepped in saying this would hurt the economy.
[Nexus S General] Grahaman27:
well thats like bounce-back, but its not the bounce-back effect that apple has patented.

as you can see, for the phone to infringe, it has to show another backrgound after the list is "stretched" beyond the edge. it does not.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jliehr:
This was my very first android device and I loved it until I tried rooting it. I did some research and got going. Upon getting into clockwork I flashed my system I thought this was what I was supposed to do...I was very...very wrong. I've been trying to follow this video <not allowed to post it> It's called "Tutorials:Root & Unlock Nexus7 Using Mac"

My problem is now, I'm stuck at the recovery screen and no matter what I do I cannot get out. It won't even show up in adb anymore. I'm really angry at myself right now and I really need help. Please help me before I smash my hands with the Nexus 7.

:(:(

You can get into adb by using the boot loader. Reboot the device by holding down all 3 buttons and it will go into boot loader
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jliehr:
re;

Once I'm in here though, how can I get back to a Android OS...

No matter what I do..it's recovery. I need help man!

--------

UPDATE: Made it into Clockwork at least. Upon doing so I tried doing a factory reset. Still just recovery. God I am such an idiot! I feel like this isn't even fixable and I just wasted all $250 on this device.

UPDATE #2: I fixed it!!! I'm so proud of myself. I kind of hacked it up to do it. If anyone falls into my hole here's what I've done:

Upon entering clockwork I noticed I had the option to restore from /sdcard/update.zip

This "update" does not exist however. So, I then downloaded Cyanogenmod10 rom. I then ran:

./adb push cm-10-20120727-EXPERIMENTAL-grouper-nemith.zip /data/media

Which pushed the Cyanogenmod10 to /sdcard/

Then I opened adb shell and ran:

cd sdcard

mv cm-10-20120727-EXPERIMENTAL-grouper-nemith.zip update.zip

Then restored on clockwork from /sdcard/update.zip.

I then proceeded to do a standard reset from within ROM manager. I'm back to stock android. I'm saved! Thanks to all who have came to help but didn't know how to fix my stupid problems or have helped.

Now I have Ultra Nano, Curved on the way, and now this comes out.

i wonder if it has the pixlated effect like what others have mentioned in the other thread about glass screen protectors. I can't stand it because it really bugs me when i went back and look at my old captivate screen. Even though s3 is a pentile display but you can barely notice it from the high res. But what other ppl say about it having that effect is a turn down for me. I hope SGP overcomes that with this one.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] aly19:
Spigen won't release a third-rate product like that Spectre one in the other thread. I have had the glass screen protector from Spigen on both my iPhone 4 and SGS II, both worked perfectly and neither had those dots that are visible on white backgrounds.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Wearespacepeople:
Are the glass protectors incompatible with some cases?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Jeurum_92:
Yes, it adds thickness so when you have a tight fit now, it might not fit.

I'm really excited about them releasing one, but I'm also kinda nervous that it looks so much like the "Specter". I wonder why they have to have colors, and can't stay with their normal "clear all over" routine?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] fiendskillz:
well if they do come out like that, im sure a much more reputable company like sgp will be able to replace it or is willing to fix the problem.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zen0s:
I just pre ordered one too, I waited so long for SGP to release this! I'm sure the reason for making this with color layout is to cover up the edges bubbling which I don't mind really. I been a long time SGP customer so I know if anything is wrong with this they will back it up with their awesome customer service. I just can't wait to try! :D
[Galaxy S III Accessories] polesp:
I am just wondering how they tackled the curved glass on the s3? is the bottom curved to fit the shape? and also is the top of the glas t curved along with the screen or flat?

In other words is the glas t curved to fit the s3's shape (thus making it more vulnerable) or is it curved on the bottom and then flat at top (which may cause issues with cases)?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zen0s:
i think it is flat just like iphone's glas.t series, but on S3 glas series edges are beveled for smoother finish.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Breezer23:
They will give you horrid Customer Service. They screwed me royally with the poorly made Glas.t for the iPhone 4. I'll show you some pix in a bit
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Watanuki-Kun:
Same position, pre-ordered it back then, had the neo hybrid line of cases. First one, after a day or so, the edges were pulling up, due to the case. Emailed up customer service, they said it was my fault since I didn't line it up correctly. They sent me another one either way, and I was extra careful installing it, making sure all the edges were perfectly aligned. Everything was ok, until a few days later, it did it again. Now I am left with a screen protector that is lifting on both sides minus $30. It does say in their FAQ that all their cases are compatible so I assume I have to position the Glas.t within nanometer precision to get it to not bubble? I'm chalking it up to first production issues with weak adhesive. Hopefully with the S3, I won't have this issue.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Breezer23:
AVOID the Spigen GLAS.t (Awful Experience)

Here is what I posted on the MacRumors forum about my experience.

I purchased the GLAS.t for my father about 3 weeks ago and the edges are chipping off already. Keep in mind, he keeps this on his desk all day - it is hardly used (work phone). I emailed Customer Service about this and they denied my warranty claim as it is RECOMMENDED that you use a case with this as it is prone to chipping.

Two days passed and a hairline crack formed from the chipped edge. I submitted a request again and received the same response. This is unbelievable! I have purchased upwards of $100 in screen protectors from these guys. No more.

Have any of you had similar experiences? I have attached some photos of the phone with the GLAS.t on it.

I can't imagine the anger you'd have if this happened to your $70 GLAS.t for your iPad..

Eventually, I told them AMEX should be revoking the funds shortly due to their defective product. Immediately, they offered to replace it. Instead, I just asked them to send me some Ultra Crystal's. Hopefully they have improved things a bit though. I noticed that the SIII Glas.T is 0.5MM's thick whereas the iPhone version I had originally was only 0.4mm

I don't know why everyone is bashing on the Xgear protector. It's cheaper, the dots are only annoying in bright lights and it feels great. Don't be so hard on a small company bringing out something that no one else is willing to do.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] PrinceCaspien:
from my experience, 1 iphone 4s of my using this is still fine and plenty of galaxy note i have installed have no issue like yours,

from what i see, your chips off part is not a manufacturing defects but looks more like mishandling/accidental damage by user itself.....this is only my assumption.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] xXJay_RXx:
That's what I'm assuming myself. I have had a glas on my iPhone 4S for 5 months n never had that
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 88EVGAFTW:
Anyone know if these glass screen screen protectors are sticky all over or just around the edges? I ask because ive seen one or two that are only adhesive around the edges so dust and lint doesnt stick in the center with the screen.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] PrinceCaspien:
Sticky all over it is.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Alanmw86:
I'd have to agree with you, in those pictures you can see the phone is all scuffed up along the edges in the same places (not to mention just scuffed up period) obviously there are some handling issues there.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zen0s:
Yeah I have purchased x5 glas.t series for my family and myself, none of us had that kind of "defects/damages". Sometimes edges do get lifted but those chipped off edges are caused by mishandling for sure.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] xXJay_RXx:
Yea sometimes the edges get lifted depending on the type of case you use. This is what we are gonna have to see when we are able to get it
[Galaxy S III Accessories] BabyHunter:
Will wait for some reviews :) Looks like a cool screen protector.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Breezer23:

[Galaxy S III Accessories] xXJay_RXx:
Yea it will work. Spigen makes sure their Glas series works with all their cases. I remember with my 4S, I've had almost every different case Spigen came out with and not a single one caused an issue with the Glas. Can't wait to get my hands on the Glas for my S3 :D
[Galaxy S III Accessories] K.0.0.L.:
I THink Xgear should sue them.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Moricon:
To me this is a reason not to buy it. The xgear only has adhesive around the edge. No idea why I would want to look through an adhesive.

Also a product that "sugests" you use one of their cases and reports of saying its not covered because you didn't use a case. I will still with my xgear.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] negeri:
does this Glass workin fine with Seidio Surface? :confused:

what do you guys think?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Breezer23:
Couldn't agree more. Won't honor it because I wasn't using a case.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] xXJay_RXx:
Why?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] K.0.0.L.:
Xgear was the first to came up with that temper glass. If you compare both they are exactly the same. Copyright violation.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] destromas:
Yeah, and Korean manufacturers before them too. Seriously dude, get used to copies and knockoffs, third party accessories are littered with them.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] xXJay_RXx:
From what we seen, the XGear is garbage and has issues. The Glas won't have those issues.

---------- Post added at 05:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:03 AM ----------

Also I did a look up of XGear tempered glass patent and nothing came up. As far as I know, you can't sue without a patent. I'm sure xgear wasn't the first to do this
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zen0s:
Having an adhesive doesn't affect the screen quality what so ever. It's not like those wet application that causes rainbow effect. My personal preference I like the fact that this glass protection has adhesive all over.

I'm sure you can use whatever case you want to, nothing on product that says you HAVE to use SGP case. As long as case doesn't overlap the front screen it should work fine.

I personally never had issues with chipping even without the case on. I did have problem seeing bubbled/lifting edges which I reported and SGP sent me brand new ones. Not just glas.t but any of their products that I purchased, they always replaced or refunded for me ;) hell, they even sent me a free s3 neo hybrid case by accident and let me keep it :p I'm pretty satisfied with SGP products and their quality!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Breezer23:
That's the hip thing to do these days!

[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
glass screen protectors have been around sometime now, xgear may be the first to released them for the i9300, but i'm sure the're not the first to design them, some companies like to make sure that the product are problem free before release thats why the products take awhile before released onto the market.

Following this thread and another thread, many members has contacted this company with reply that they will considered producing this product and in less than a month or two, they are taking pre-order, it seems like they had this product on the test bed for sometime with extensive testing before released.

---------- Post added 31st August 2012 at 12:00 AM ---------- Previous post was 30th August 2012 at 11:53 PM ----------

I will be testing one soon by TG film, the protector don't have full coverage, and don't use the same adhesive like this product or the xgear, instead you apply them just like the normal PET screen protector.

Will be posting a review soon.
