[Windows Phone 7 General] Loco5150:
Ok so Apple is rewarded +1 billion USD from Samsung copying their patents. I have to say that some of those patens must have been approved by people who smoke crack. I hate the verdict, I hate the fact that this type of trial in US is actually decided by jury of regular people. There are just so many things I hate about the whole thing thats going on, but thats not why Im posting.

As now this whole thing probably gets deeper with appeals and most likely Google will have to get more involved. What do you think, the 2 biggest are fighting together could this actually a good thing for WP camp, especially Nokia since they are the main manufacturer in the WP camp?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Skander1998:
This has no benefit to WP whatsoever, 1B for samsung is like two pieces of paper, and they won't pay it, they'll appeal as usual.

So, nope Nokia and WP will need something else to shine.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
apple will get, ohhhh , about what they get for 3 months worth of new activstions on iPhones. Samsung will keep on pummeling us with incredible phones.

Nokia? no benefit. unless it bumps the stock price (taking profits time) for the folks that are raping it daily.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Loco5150:
This most likely will end with sales ban for some devices, also Apple will go after other Android manufacturers. Bloomberg also reports that Samsung will most likely have to delay some new devices so they have time to change things so they will not do the same thing again.

All this might be helping the smaller guy. But for the record I hope the appeals court will change this verdict. Also that they void Apple's ridicilous and vague patents that never should have been rewarded anyway.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
but those rounded corners are apples' genius!

the whole thing is stupid anyway. if you can't win in sales, sic lawyers on the competition.

remember sco?
[Windows Phone 7 General] dazza9075:
wasnt the rectangle with rounded corners thrown out though?

as to the topic, It could be good for WP, the whole android model is starting to look a bit dodgy, potentially, manufactures might start to say its not worth the hassle and since google has made it perfectly clear they are on their own it makes for a juicy target!

MS and Apple have cross licence agreements going back decades and as such are by and large protected from this stupidity, but lets be clear on something here, its neither apple or Samsung that should be attacked because of these daft patent wars, its the people in the patent office that should be shot, if Apple are awarded a patent for a box with a button in the middle then it is perfectly within its rights to uphold that patent.

its stupid, but I don't hold the companies to blame, every single one of us would jump through hoops to make 2.7B USD regardless of how stupid it is and how marginal it is, if there was a chance we'd go for it, and its the patent office that sets up these chances.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vnvman:
Well it's just about some patents regarding pinch to zoom, double tap and bounce scroll. All of the other competitors were paying already for using those patented features, Samsung wasn't because it's a scumbag company which is only able to make good internals and displays slapping them into fugly plastic bodies with no personality whatsoever, and therefore keeps copying the competition to make up for the above mentioned weak points. Paying for anything doesn't appeal to them, they much prefer stealing instead. Don't get me wrong, I still think that these things should be under FRAND, but law is there to be respected or reformed, acting like it didn't exist and getting into such kind of trials just in order to spare a few bucks is just being a lame and disrespectful scumbag company. At least in this case, justice was done. Now let's reform this patent bull**** system.
[Windows Phone 7 General] gilesjuk:
Having owned a device from every smartphone platform except BB and Android I think Android is the platform that tends to borrow the most from everyone else.

Samsung is a cloning company, they make things for people. So it should come as no surprise that they are good at lifting other peoples ideas.

What ground-breaking products has Samsung introduced to the market? by that I mean game changing devices, not technology. I bet you're struggling to think of any.

I think iOS has fallen behind the times and so my move to Windows Phone, but we all owe Apple for making multitouch and finger based touchscreen devices mainstream. It's something Samsing would never have done, their top selling phones before the iPhone were mostly dumbphones.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
I was being silly about the round corners. the patent system is broken, but that's another story /thread.

so long as the android devices are selling better than the iPhone, I doubt manufacturers will think of it as dodgy.

manufacturers only care about selling phones... they'll do whatever is needed to keel doing that, inuding paying pennies to the apple gods to do so. passing on expenses is economics 101. (sad really)

---------- Post added at 05:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:31 AM ----------

its not much of a struggle to think of very good, very impressive samsung devices of late. the s3 and even s2 are selling (and reselling) like hotcakes. look at your local craigslist , the most desired phones are back and forth between ihpone 4s and s3/s2. I would expect some kind of shattering ideals cpu and display by Christmas from them also.

clones? yes, everyone is making a slab of glass phone. its what sells now. Nokia, Samsung, HTC, LG (are they still making phones) , everyone is on the slab of glass bandwagon.
[Windows Phone 7 General] gilesjuk:
Yes, but they're basically "me too" products. They've taken their existing product and added hundreds of features and bigger screen etc.

The sad thing is Apple is now stuck in this cycle of just adding a few more features, nicer screen and camera.

What I was saying was when did Samsung ever release a product that totally changed the market? It seems to me that Apple has released the devices that changed the computing industry the most. Mam, iMac, iPod and iPhone, iPad. While they may not have invented all the technology they used it still takes a lot of guts to release a different product.

The sad thing is how Microsoft laughed at the iPhone and then scrambled to release their own comparable platform (3 years later!).

I couldn't care less for Google, they're even worse than Microsoft for copying. At least when Microsoft look at a rival and release their version it is usually better in many ways, cheaper and not much less in quality. Google's stuff tends to be very low quality and poorly supported. Even devices they have had made for them were badly made (Nexus 7).
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
ahhh, misunderstood you. I see now.

can't think of anything revolutoonary since the mouse really. voice input is neat, but the keyboard and mouse still own.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sitizenx:
Err... This jury had people with legal knowledge and at least one engineer with a patent of their own. It was probably the most knowledgeable jury I've seen... ever.

You said it brother.

Nope. Samsung Note. At first I thought it sounded redonkulous. The build quality sucks compared to the Lumia 900 but the screen size definitely caught on with a certain segment of the population. The iphone 4s' screen is pathetic. No way around that. I'm not saying I would cruise around with a note in my pocket but it definitely explores a space. If the iphone 4s was the final word on smartphone screens we would be stuck in the stone ages. People crow about the iphone apps but I can't see those things God damn it! That screen is tiny.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Loco5150:
Yup, one person that that has some knowledge on patents. Not enough in my opinion. Even if it was the "most knowledgeable jury", that does not mean that it is qualified to handle the matter.

Now why I started the whole topic. Apple has now asked sales ban for 8 Samsung devices in the US. I would expect we will see a lot more of this in the near future.

And yes Samsung keeps copying things, hell yes that happens in every business all the time. But you know what, so does Apple. They are just better at it. They basically steal because they are able to make the consumer think they actually invented these things. They did not invent mp3 player or a touch screen phone, they just copied it and made it better.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
proof that the USA is in need of a rethink of (not just) its patent system.

they want the sales ban to get some of their sales percentage back, not because of patent infringement. its a lie covering inadequacies. pitiful.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
The law ask "are the products similar "? Thats all it ask, and the obvious answer is...

Everybody said it before the original Galaxy S was released,"boy that thing looks a lot like the iPhone". Every reviewer, just YouTube it. The icons and bounce scroll sealed it.

Dont hate the player(Apple), hate the game(patent system).
[Windows Phone 7 General] Loco5150:
So here we go... Now Apple is seeking sales ban for new Samsung devices, inluding Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevenrp:
Hi guys,

I rooted my phone following QBKING's guide using the E4GT FF18 one click ODIN file. I than went ahead and followed his guide to installing AGAT CWM.

My phone was nicely rooted, I even double checked it by downloading root checker and everything looked fine. I downloaded WanamLite ICS XWLPU V12.4 Android 4.0.4 and tried to install it on my phone through AGAT CWM. The installation went smoothly. After installing, the phone boots up, and get's to the main screen where I'm supposed to see my Homescreen and App bar etc, however I just see a black screen and the status bar. I get errors saying com.android.phone is not working, my home/menu button isn't responsive (the back button is though), nothing works.

I'm stumped as what the issue could be, I've spent about 5 hours trying to re-root and reinstall the ROM. I also tried Resurrection ROM, but still got the same results. What do you guys think could be the problem?

Thanks!!

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jptech:
I had 3 replacements for my original nexus 7.

The first had a mushy screen. The second had a defective LCD. The third was great for a week until the screen lifted. The fourth (from the same lot as the third) has been great. I used a TPU case on the 2nd and 3rd tablets.

This 4th, I haven't.

My guess was that the case caused such a heat build-up that wouldn't dissipate through the back. It would reflect through the front and caused the adhesive to fail.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsuppa:
I've had screen loft from day 1 and this never was in a case.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pxlitup:
Three units with screen lift. Second and third I noticed straight out of the box.

Never used a case.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SPreston2001:
I highly doubt the tpu case had anything to do with it. Chances are your 4th tablet was just a winner. The back of the N7 doesn't even have vent holes (besides the speaker) so heat dissipation won't be a issue. I've had a tpu case on my N7 since the day I got it and never had any issues.

Sometimes I just access the operator website, its impossible to access any other website, I always receive a error in browser.

Wifi is perfect, just the 3G is broken.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alvaradorocks:
I'm an aspiring application developer that is focusing mostly on general applications

with social integration and games that make use of offloaded servers for stats tracking and processing.

And for the ones that did not get that, I make android apps and games, yay!

Now for the actual question, looking at these new devices that will make use of quad-core chips,

but won't really help me much since I need to look at mass market,

and then devices that are proven, devices that sport dual-core chips with good ample memory.

I am looking at purchasing another device to add to my testing bench.

I currently sport:

Motorola Xoom Wifi 32gb [ running EOS3 nightly - JB branch ]

HTC Sensation 4G [ running JB from bruce2728's repo ]

Samsung Galaxy Tab [ original 7' running JB from cdesai ]

What am looking for is a device that sports all or most if possible hardware that an

Android Application developer should have in its arsenal;

NFC, Google Wallet, Multi-color LED, Accelerometer, Gyro, Barometer,

Compass, Light Sensors, Proximity Sensors, and any other things that we take for granted

like Wifi and Bluetooth.

So, looking at the current crop of devices, and future possible devices,

does it make sense to purchase a Galaxy Nexus, go for a Galaxy S3 or wait for the next surge of devices?

A Nexus M perhaps? Or is there a device that you guys would recommend other than those mentioned?

On another note, my budget is from $300 to $500-ish, and I prefer to go with a no contract devices, oh, and I hate Verizon.

I appreciate all input, good, bad or ugly.

Thank you for your time.

can i just update to cm9 then codename android without rebooting?

back to back flashing ?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
You can't update to cm9 and stay on 5.0.

Unlike most samsung phones, we do not have a functional recovery partition.

Even though we do have a recovery partition, and you can flash the recovery.img there, the bootloader will not even notice it.

It will just boot the kernel with the kernel command line argument: bootmode=2

In this mode, a stage1 init has to check if we are booting to: recovery, low power mode (charging), or normal boot (possibly with ota upgrade).

So in a nut shell, you upgrade to cm9, you get whatever recovery comes with cm9.

If you want to flash another cm9/ics based rom after that, just flash it (factory reset/wipe data, of course!). No need to go back to 5.0 recovery.

If however, your IMEI is screwed up or you have a specific reason to go back to gingerbread, use the oneclick that eollie mentioned. Flash it twice to get bootloaders. And then you can go back to cm9 by just 'factory reset/wipe data' and flash cm9 or whatever ics rom you wish.
