[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] j2thar1st:
Most iPhone owners who aren't technologically inept go with their iPhone over Android with this being their huge argument.....Security. JB does make a tremendous progress in eliminating the laggyness that has been known to plague Android OS and does make it oh so smooth when working your way through all the features and apps. The main drawback to most still is security and how Apple does such a great job of securing accounts and identity on their devices. I for one can't stand that apple won this verdict but I don't think they will stop Samsung, but I'm sure they weren't expecting to. My guess is they waited to find the result of this case to buy them precious time to where they can unveil the iPhone5 to give them a large window to attempt to establish a landslide victory while freezing out its competition and running solo campaigns to gain more users.

It's like some douchebag person who is filthy rich and is going after a girl who likes you and you're not as well off. That person will do what they can and spend all kinds of money because they know you don't have as deep of pockets to even the playing field. He may not destroy you totally win or lose but he definitely succeeds in throwing dirt on your name and add some clout. Just my $0.02

I agree 100%.

Apple is more like living in a communist regime. Steve Jobs has been famous for saying it as his motto "You don't tell us what you want, we tell you."

Just wondering aren't practicality 80% of all phones rectangular with rounded corners?

Are you serious that shouldn't even be a patent. Its too general.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pnut22r:
I cant tell if im being picky or not. I ordered the Gn from the Playstore, GSM version, I got the phone and loved it, but there were a few bad pixels. I called Samsung, they sent me another one. I got the second phone, this one has a red hue on the entire right side of the screen, enough to be annoying on brighter pages/apps. So, i called Samsung again, and they sent me another. The 3rd one... well it also has a part of the screen i don't like. It seems normal throughout, but the bottom right of the screen is brighter than the rest. Its noticeable, but especially when the keyboard is open, the left side is dark grey, the right side is light grey.

Am i being picky? Should I call Samsung for a 4th? Could it get any better? Should I just settle? No phone is perfect. I cant wait to root the damn thing and start flashing, and calling it my own.

I love the phone so much, other than the screen problem.

Thoughts/Comments please.....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thegtfusion:
call them again!!! also look for tiny black dots!

you can only see them when the screen is black and in a low light area.

so set a fully black photo in your gallery, open it and go to a low light area and look closely for any black dots you can see.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dj21o:
Honestly man you're gonna have problems whatever is going on with these screens. I have the same problem (not as bad) but I can notice slight color variation when the screen dims and when my keyboard is up. It is a known problem and I would just stick out to be quiet honest. I downloaded a pixel fixer (dont know the exact name of the app), but run the color fixer for 20 minutes multiple times and see if that does anything. When I notice a big difference I'm gonna get a new one, but honestly I wouldn't sweat it, even though that does sound pretty sh****.

Yeah, I can see mine is yellow on the left side of the screen now that I pretty much endulged in it. I'm probably gonna call tomorrow, but I don't want to have a damn phone that has the same exact problem.... ugh.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] withbloodskies:
This won't fix the issue. My screen has a heavy yellow tint and tons of black dots. I've just said **** it cause I have a feeling the screen is just made this way..

I just stay stock color as opposed the messing with the colors, because mixing them makes the tints different colors or multi colored which really drives me nuts.

I also have on my left side a blueish tint and right side red tint. Probably defective but whatever, doesn't sound like you can get a better screen so..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pnut22r:
Yeah thanks. Honestly, the first one with the dead pixels is the best quality so far.

Otherwise you guys love the phone? I do, and I hope the devs stick around for a good while. Even if other nexus devices emerge.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dj21o:
Oh dude I'm used to the tint already lol. Whatever man after a few days it will feel normal. Like I said try that pixel fixer app it is supposed to be good for fixing colors.

I will definitely be sticking with a Nexus line phone for sure. I am truly happy with it compared to all of the software/bloat ware phones like touchwiz and sense. It could always be worse man.

Well I figured since this is a Samsung phone forum I could post this here... Anyways mod delete if you feel like...

My point is I am not surprised about the verdict today at all...

Let's face it.. this doesn't make sense to me.. Apple is a huge American company, Samsung is from Korea.. so for a case so big shouldn't it happen in some international country or something? And plus guess what... the jury is 9 American citizens. Seriously? They probably have some iStuffs, their wives,husbands,kid,friends probably do.. so which side do you think they would be on?

Anyways this is what I think, and why I am not surprised Apple won on all counts..

What do you think?
[Android General] crownua6:
Hopefully Google/Motorola will avenge Samsung's US lost to crApple.
[Android General] mrrobc97:
Oh I knew it was gonna turn out like this. About 75% of the population here see a smartphone and label it a iPhone, they see a tablet and label it a iPad. Who did you think the American public was going to side with. That's the power of advertisement Apple controls over all smartphones & tablets. When you are able to replace the generic name of a product with your brand name for that same product and have the whole population calling it that way you are in control. (Q-tip, Vaseline, Band-Aid, ChapStick, Windex, iPod, etc.)
[Android General] thatdude02:
Really when you think about it, the ruling isn't surprising at all. Apple wants to get rid if their competitors and lawsuits are just one way to do it. In my mind, a really cheap and almost disgraceful way to do it, but, that's politics for you! No one remembers Tucker (old car company) but i was wiped out by the Detroit 3 through a lawsuit as well. Only 50 cars were ever produced because of it.

I hate politics, but this is how things go down... Hopefully, up here in Canada we don't have repercussions from the American trial, but who knows right? All three of my phones have been Samsung, and I want my fourth to be one as well, even if I have to buy international.

Apple... Great products, however they need to stop suing about everything. But that's politics, and I hate them.

Samsung... Best of luck to you. I want another great phone... Maybe make it in the shape of a circle so Apple can't sue about the shape (how can you patent a shape anyway!? I might as well patent the sphere and sue all the ball makers in the world. :p)

May the force be with you Sammy
[Android General] crownua6:
I'm not surprise with the verdict. I expected crApple to win, not because of the patent infringement claims, but due to their huge advantages. Basically, Samsung was the underdog in this case. Keep in mind that crApple's headquarter is just a mere 10 miles away from the courthouse and the jurors were picked from the heart of Silicon Valley, where Steve Jobs was from.
[Android General] saywhatt:
It could be that they let Apple win because Apple's a really big company that supports the American Economy
[Android General] 8Fishes:
Rigggghhht...

All those 'Designed in California, Made in China' fine print is really that hard to understand... it says California in there so it must be good for America?

Not to mention they are really good at dodging local/state/federal taxes. They have a good army of lawyers doing just that outside of the litigation ones that fought Samsung.

The interesting part about this situation is that Samsung makes apple's proccessors... I wonder if this will piss Samsung off enough to call it quits... Apple is Samsung's number one customer, so I doubt they will be able to cut ties without losing a major amount of income

Google needs to step up and revenge for Samsung. Apple is going after all android phones manufacture after this. Even Nexus lineup.

Oh yeah. F##k Apple. I will never buy their products again. Period.
[Android General] Jaimesco12:
I hope that google does step up and do something about this. Most likely their probably not wich upsets me to see crApple winning.
[Android General] BRANDENDEUCE:
I was kind of surprised since the jury got to use some of the Samsung devices to compare. Usually when I'm around someone who is messing with their iPhlop I let them mess around with my phone and 90% of the time am asked if I have any for sale. :D

[Android General] zander21510:
Its sad really. Do you see Bentley and Mercedes suing Hyundai for making their cars look like ripoffs? Designer clothes stores suing old navy for clothes that look exactly the same? A third grader for drawing a rounded rectangle??

I just couldn't help at Tim cook's release to his employees about how they were reluctant to sue and how they want to protect innovation for all. Bunch of goddamn money hungry elitist assholes. If they really cared about innovation and technology they would be a little more concerned with moving the whole segment forward, not hoarding everything to themselves.

That being said, some things Samsung did really are ridiculous copies (the charger cube for our phone looks exactly like the iPhones...)...and they should have partially lost.

They won't make it very long after people don't think their **** is so hot anymore and they burn all their cash on stupid lawsuits...watch out in the near future for a bombed product upgrade...could come as early as the iPhone 5 I bet.
[Android General] jtroye32:
I don't see how Apple won in a business sense.. Samsung had already established themselves as the number one smartphone manufacturer in the world by focusing on territory. Now they can focus more on design. It was a billion dollar gamble that paid of nicely. They don't need to do anything but but put out a bunch of vanilla Android devices with top of the line hardware and a physical design that doesn't look like an iPhone. There are many possibilities. This was a win for Samsung and us since we will get less iOS look and feel and better functionality.
[Android General] Djapatos:
The fact and the matter is... apple only sues Samsung because it s scared of how Samsung has become #1 and wants to destroy it...

Like I don't think Samsung is the maker of phone with rectangle and round corners, how come apple only sues Samsung? That's cause Samsung is the most successful one

My only hope is for Motorola/Google wins against Apple
[Android General] rymanh:
As much as I love android I do remember shopping for a phone and picking up the galaxy s fascinate and thinking to myself "wow this really looks like an iphone".. Samsung really should have done something to better differentiate the 2 phones.. However I never for one second got it confused with an iphone.. I love Samsung phones but some of their phones did look like blatant copies.. I agree that a rectangle should not be patented but i also think that Apple has a right to not have their products copied so closely... That is why they won their case..

That's ending with the iPhone 5. Since they will be using Qualcomm chips.
[Android General] thatdude02:
If you think about it, that would be smart move really. Give more power to the people so they can get what they want, and you should be able to gain a fanbase. What would be really cool is if Samsung could work with xda in a way.... I have no idea how it would work, but it could be cool. Make their firmware truly open source. And hopefully Touchwiz is the only thing Samsung is going to have to lose.

Haha just goes to show you how much I pay attention to what apple is doing. I don't care about apple. Before the lawsuit I wanted to buy another ipod touch, and now I would prefer to buy a prepaid android phone and use that as an mp3 player.

I surely hope that Samsung pulls through, because apple can suck it. 4:1 sales ratio in favor for Samsung and I hope they can keep it up. Only time can tell I guess.
[Android General] jim93:

Haha...the only reason I know is cuz I work at Qualcomm.

I was about to get an Ipod touch before also. But then I saw the Samsung Galaxy Player. That thing is huge. Lol.
[Android General] Digital1325:
This is EXACTLY why they lost. Ignorance.

The iPhone was a complete copy of a device Samsung already released (F700).
[Android General] rymanh:
Who even knows what an F700 is? Definitely not anyone on the jury
[Android General] Digital1325:
And your point is?
[Android General] rymanh:
The F700 looks Nothing like an iphone other than its rectangular shaped.. The galaxy S fascinate looks almost identical to an iphone even the old tw ui on the home screen looks like ios.. It resembled ios remarkably close. If Samsung would have implemented these things separately, I don't think apple would have won. but because they put them all together they came too close to the look and feel of ios as a whole.

Because of this all the other similarities that the other phone models had with ios stood out even more to the jury even if the devices in question didn't resemble the iphone as closely..

And of course there are the emails . they come off as pretty damning.. Samsung tried to give a reasonable explanation for them other than they were telling the staff to copy the iphone, but they couldn't!

Iike my Hercules just as much as anyone here and I would not trade it for an iphone but it's obvious to me that at one point and time Samsung copied apple
[Android General] tronmech:
Some? More like "slavishly copied," IMO. Even the near useless icon notifications.

My first thought on using the launcher was: too iThingy. Installed apex within the day and rooted as well. Found too many other tw apps that were also annoying (like the email app, whose handling of multi selects had me cursing every time the screen registered my fat fingers .01 inch off the checkbox). So, went all the way to jb. Not looking back.
[Android General] rymanh:
There is some debate over what device was being designed first the F700 or the iphone.. I'll admit that after I looked at the design of the F700 more closely and it resembles the galaxy S fascinate quite a lot.. But if Samsung was truly designing this phone before they knew about the iphone then why we're there emails saying that they were in a "crisis of design" and saying that they need to design handsets that look more like an iphone? Wouldn't it make more sense to send emails stating that Apple copied the look of the F700?

This is just my opinion and if someone can give a reasonable explanation as to why these incriminating emails were sent out then ill take back what I said about Samsung copying apple..

I'm open to all views on the matter.. It's a great discussion topic imo
[Android General] Digital1325:
Wasn't that one of the things they got sued for though? And isn't the F700 a rectangular shaped touchscreen phone? As for the rest, I guess it's subjective to an extent but come on... The F700 even has a bezel around it as well (albeit not silver).

It might not have been as polished as whatever OS they had on the F700 but iOS still looks very similar (icon/app grid and 4 launcher icons or whatever those are). They should have probably stuck with vanilla Android and didn't do the TW thing... But the general concept/layout looks like it was introduced by Samsung before Apple, at least by release dates.

I guess the emails were the nail to the coffin for Samsung (those I didn't know about).

Ah well...
[Android General] rymanh:
Yeah there are similarities

There is website called groklaw.net where legal news is discussed amongst lawyers and there seems to be a general consensus that the jury didn't follow the rules properly when awarding the damages.. There was a Samsung device that was not found to infringe on apples patents but apple was still awarded 2 million from that device..

Also the jury Forman thought it was unnecessary for the jury to go over the rules before they filled out their final forms regarding which devices infringed which patents.

And furthermore.. Didn't they come to an awfully quick decision considering how many devices were in question.. The judge thought it was a complicated process but apparently the jury didn't...

IT is believed that the jury was just bored with the trial and sided so favorably with Apple because they wanted to punish Samsung and teach them a lesson for infringing on a few patents.

Any one of these would be grounds for an appeal so the case is not over yet..

I doubt that Samsung products will be banned because apparently it is extremely rare for such a thing to happen but what could happen is we pay more for our smartphones to compensate for an (Apple tax) as Apple will obviously demand license fees for use of their patents
[Android General] poseidon5213:
