Was bound to happen, together let's give Samsung $1bn and loose apple $1bn then the court verdict gave apple nothing :D
[Galaxy S III General] hansonator:
I phone sales usually slow down just before they launch a new one. Don't worry, people will be lined up for to get their hands on the latest minor upgrade from apple. ;)
[Galaxy S III General] CuBz90:
I expected that the iPhone 5 would sell extremely well, but after the law suit I don't think they'll sell as well as they would have if the law suit didn't happen. My prediction is that they'll sell a lot at first but will not do as well as the 4S has.
[Galaxy S III General] thyttel:
Well for the first time ever, I won't be getting Apple's latest iPhone. Simply can't see knowing Apple's past minor upgrades that iPhone 5 will beat my galaxy s3.
[Galaxy S III General] aydc:
It's because iPhone 5 is about to be released.

When iPhone 5 gets released, it'll probably sell more in its first weekend than SGS3 did all the time since its release.
[Galaxy S III General] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
My gf is an iPhone user.. has been for a couple of years. No matter what I say :p

This October when i5 drops we were planning on getting it (for her) but not anymore.. I've always bought the phones but refuse to buy an apple product after the latest bs from that company. Now adding S3 to the list of wanted banned phones. I'm sorry but the S3 experience or even android experience is nothing like that of iOS.

Don't kid yourself.. the S2 outsold the iPhone.
[Galaxy S III General] Geordie Lad:
The iSheep are blind to anything anti-Apple so the iPhone 5 is still gonna sell by the butt load and they gonna act like Jesus himself designed the latest wallet raper.
[Galaxy S III General] aydc:
I don't know what you're smoking, but I want one too. :)

Samsung may outsell Apple, because they are selling very low quality cheap Android phones too. These phones naturally sell more than Apple phones, since Apple only makes premium phones.

On the premium market however, nothing outsells iPhone. Just get out of your house once, sunlight won't hurt you I promise. Look at the phones in people's hands. How many iPhones do you see, and how many SGS2's and SGS3's do you see?
[Galaxy S III General] thyttel:
And that's where I now disagree. With jelly bean iOS user experience is no longer superior.
[Galaxy S III General] htcsnap93:
People, dont feed the troll. He is fat enough
[Galaxy S III General] da-pharoah:
That's Ok no all of us can open the door once led to it. Android = full customization.. iOS = some company telling u the user your effin stupid and we know how you want your phone better then u do.... so how does that make my user experience better???
[Galaxy S III General] Tectas:
You're probably from America, in Austria you see already more s3 than iphones (without counting s2 or other high-end android devices from other vendors).

Edit: small addition about premium. It's pretty easy to call it premium while it's the only ios device and there are no lower or higher spec devices to directly compare with.

But most of the time when you compare it spec wise to an android device released at almost the same time it (the iphone) settles more at mid to lower high-end range device than premium.
[Galaxy S III General] CuBz90:
To be honest I've seen people use much more S3's than iPhones the past couple of months, and I'm in the UK.
[Galaxy S III General] jonny68:
I very much doubt that,|in fact there is no chance of that happening.

It's funny you say that actually, im using public transport (for now unfortunately) to and from work Monday to Friday and in recent months ive noticed a lot more people are using Samsung phones as opposed to the iPhone, previously i used to see primarily iPhones but this is no longer the case, sure you'll still see people with them but not nearly as much as used to be the case last year.
[Galaxy S III General] Geordie Lad:
One thing I've noticed is people don't make such a big deal out of having an iPhone anymore, or what I like to call the iPhone dance... Where they take the iPhone out their pocket in a crowd and make sure everyone sees that they have one.

So it looks like the shine's been wearing off the Apple lately.
[Galaxy S III General] sxi200:
Maybe it's just me but I actually thought coreym was actually saying he prefers the android experience over ios.
[Galaxy S III General] CuBz90:
That's exactly what he was saying.
[Galaxy S III General] MrFhenix:
Well i dont know guys

the magic flute guy cant guide the rats to buy their **hit anymore. he died :)

From a galaxy s3 far far away
[Galaxy S III General] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Lol.. man. I step away for a little bit and all hell breaks loose. Guys chill. iOS and Android experience are completely different.. this is an age old argument so no need to go there. And please, don't worry about what I do. I live in Colorado.. I average 50+ days of skiing a year, have a suite at the First Bank Center where I see any if not all the concerts that come through, Red Rocks is 30 minutes away, I hike, bike, and still somehow.. someway, find time to be on XDA. Amazing. :rolleyes:

..and yes, much prefer the Android OS over iOS. If only I could get the gf to ditch her iPhone :p
[Galaxy S III General] Geordie Lad:
The problem is they not so different or Apple wouldn't be suing anyone and everything Android related, I mean yeah Apple would sue the Lord Almighty if they thought it was good for business but still...
[Galaxy S III General] XDA mark:
I dont buy an iPhone because of one simple reason: the screen is way too small. If Apple would have "kept moving" with the market I would have considered an iPhone. But a 3.5" screen is just WAY to small, I find the 4.8" screen on my S3 just right. So yeah, the iPhone doesn't stand a chance. And the iPhone 5 is moving to a (still small) 4" screen... so for me, the iPhone is not intresting at all. The screen size is a basic, fundamental part ofa smartphone and if it isn't right the rest doesn't matter.

Many people I know have moved to Android phone's. This summer, there were 4 S3's, 2 One X's, 1 S2 and only one iPhone 4S on the table. Some time ago, everybody still had an iPhone except me. People are starting to see there are much better phone's out then the iPhone.
[Galaxy S III General] -juanito-:
iPhone 4s sales better than S3 .. remember 4s is just upgrade for iPhone 4 :)

I'am not Apple fan at all but no phone can beat iPhone in sales

Sorry for my english
[Galaxy S III General] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
this is a hefty argument. The same in the manner as touchscreen phone, square icons, slide to unlock..? I'm not gonna get into it as there's so much to be said, on both sides. If you actually use both OS's, you notice the difference right away, whether it being forced to use a certain browser or the option to refund a recently purchased app.. there's a clear difference in the two.. again, this can go on and on and on so...... no point really. They are different :eek:

I thought the S3 already outsold the 4s did it not? :confused:

[Galaxy S III General] Tomatoes8:
The iphone will unfortunately sell really well and end up being the best selling phone of all time, but there is a silver lining.

Whether or not Apple just improved their production or if their sales dropped or not, I don't have their accounting records to say. but I do know that the ipad2 sold out easily and never came close to going on sale until the end of it's lifespan. The ipad 3 however, never sold out once and dropped from $519 cdn to 479 cdn so fast. In fact, many of the people trying to profit off the ipad3 launch couldn't sell on Craigslist and had to return them to Apple,

Now, the iphone is a different beast from the ipad and this might not apply, but I am hoping that the same thing happens at the iphone 5 launch and the demand is way less than they thought it would be.

Well, I am hoping that Apple is the next Enron but I doubt any company would ever get into that situation again.lol
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
Come on guys. Let's think the ngs through. People know the iphone 5 is coming out this month I'm out camping with my friends and 3 of them are already planning to camp out for the iphone 5.

I iphone is going to sell really well there's no question about it. The wait for the new iphone is what slowed down sales not the court verdict.
[Galaxy S III General] member68:
Why do end users even care about the number of sales?

Assuming you have a S3, you have one of the best phones currently available. Just enjoy it ;)
[Galaxy S III General] Geordie Lad:
Obviously they are different but the core user experience is very similar.

But the difference is IOS is incredibly shallow and built purely so you can be half brain dead and still use it, where Android does everything and that frightens people who don't like to think. But take an average person's use and on the surface they fairly similar.
[Galaxy S III General] Se23:
It's doesn't matter what's slowed iPhone sales down, it's the fact that Samsung sales are up. If anybody thinks the i5 will not sell as well as previous you are delusional. The fact is while we love using Samsung we as the consumer should not put any company on a pedestal as we see what can happen. Also I see a lot of people using Samsung now and I get lots of looks from people trying to see what I'm using.
[Galaxy S III General] CuBz90:
Must have just been a coincidence that the sales dropped AFTER the court case :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III General] Geordie Lad:
The average iPhone owner might not be that bright but most still have enough sense to wait to buy the new version so obviously sales are gonna go down.
[Galaxy S III General] Arsaw:
Stupid iphone still insist on 'wifi only' when downloading more than 50mb apps data. How could anybody still using this crap phone? :banghead:
[Galaxy S III General] barondebxl:
The iphone will sell no matter what, there are many ifans out there too. But what matters is that android keeps getting stronger and stronger and soon or later, an android phone will outsell the iphone. Its just getting started.
[Galaxy S III General] CuBz90:
Like I said... Coincidink :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III General] tmyrdal:
Here in Norway i see mostly S2 and S3 so samsung ruuls in Norway :)
[Galaxy S III General] S1N1ST3R:
I reckon with JellyBean, The Android use experience far outmatches that of Apples. The iPhone's premium quality I guess, doesn't come from its internals but its build quality. I must admit, the iPhones were very nice to hold especially the earlier ones before the 4. I'll admit I like a little "meat" on my phone :P Luckily I can just use a nice phat back cover for the S3.

I wouldn't mind seeing more Mobile OSes coming up; I wouldn't want Android to become a monopoly like Apple was. The more competiton the better, so long as a major sue orgy doesn't occur :silly:
[Galaxy S III General] sir_earl:
Personally I suspect the drop in iPhone sales is a combination of both the court case and the impending iPhone 5 release. Looking at the articles posted about the Samsung vs Apple court case, the vast majority of the comments are from people disgusted with Apple who have vowed to never buy another Apple product - there's even a lot of talk about die hard Apple fans being turned off.

I'm not sure that this will affect Apple too much in the long-term, as people tend to forget this kind of thing, but it has to be damaging their image to some extent - hopefully just enough to snap many people out of their trance and make the switch!

[RantMode="On"]

As a developer myself, I think it's disgusting the kind of things that have been granted patents. There are certain things, such as highly specialized compression algorithms that I'm OK about having patented (although even then, I'd rather they weren't), but when you're talking about basic forms of interaction like pinch-to-zoom, or anything that would naturally evolve to suit the hardware or user, it's absolutely absurd. It shouldn't even matter if I got the idea from Apple - if I can write code to do it in 30 minutes, then there is no true intellectual property there - I would have had the idea myself after 5 minutes of playing with the hardware anyway! It feels almost as bad as taking away my freedom of speech. I'm just glad countries other than America have had enough common sense to dismiss the ridiculous claims.

[Galaxy S III General] onmike:
To be fair iPhone sales always slow down when a new 1 is imminent. Galaxy S 3 is still better though

[Galaxy S III General] skibadee:
Yup ios is the Duplo against the Mechano of Android, yet stick a high price tag and it must be better......... fools :P

Even stranger is the s3, + s2 for that matter cost £500 sim free at launch, hardly a poor man's alternative! Muppets see a galaxy ace and think that's the IPhones 'cheap ass' rival lol.

At least the guys with at least an ounce of tech awareness realise the real smartphones now :)
[Galaxy S III General] NatTheCat:
I like how the younger generation are not as blind.. Had all my cousins (9-16) say how much they like the S3 over iphones..

Sorry to any apple fanboys I'm annoying but your not going to be dominating for long.. 4 years I give you and your out too being just another run of the mill smartphone with a stale locked os. :)
[Galaxy S III General] Geordie Lad:
Almost sounds like saying Apple Vs Google is the same as Religion Vs Science.
[Galaxy S III General] ejatds:
idk why this is a surprise to everyone... the 4S is old now! if it was still outselling the s3 then that would have been more surprising for me,
[Galaxy S III General] Tomatoes8:
I disagree. The iphone 4s is the most successful phone ever made and the iphone 4 continued to outsell the GS2 and every other smart phone. I don't think it ever lost it's lead. In fact, the GS3 might be the first phone ever to outsell an iphone competitor, even though short lived.

I am actually quite shocked that the GS3 is so popular to be honest. I thought it would sell 20 million tops like the GS2 but I think it will actually beat that eventually.
[Galaxy S III General] iucidium:
Apple charge 4 TIMES the manufacturing cost for the 4s.

[Galaxy S III General] dr.m0x:
Here in New Zealand the tide appears to be turning. Now I see people rocking s2, s3, and note everywhere. Still see a lot of iPhones to but I see the Samsung's at least as often, maybe a bit more so.
[Galaxy S III General] pickhunter:
Guys, the lawsuit itself sent out the message that apple itself agrees that samsung phones have everything that iphone has plus a bigger screen, android, better hardware etc etc. So who sells out who is pretty straight fwd.
[Galaxy S III General] jimmy080705:
A mate in one of worlds biggest companies was just issued a s3 work phone.... They used to use crapple.... Apparently they like the flexibility to modify Android and the fact they can run Droid on cheap arse 3Rd world phones too!

who cares. dont waste your time debating products that people will buy based on their liking. the world would be boring if you only had one option to choose from. we all here got S3s for a reason...i got mine for a bday gift. if i had a choice i would have stayed with my HTC sensation. and a side note...im not a fan of apple products except for their computers.

[Galaxy S III General] nismo929:
Here is my two cents......

Apple is everywhere. I travelled all over the world during the past 2 years.... lots of people have them. In Australia, i almost thought they were government issued since every single person had one. But the galaxy line, s3 in particular is finally convincing some Apple users....Hey....maybe there is something better!? I am anti Apple, but you gotta give props when they are due. But just as every empire, top company, powerful person.....things come to an end. I'm Canadian, so my example is BlackBerry....i can come up with 50 more examples of you really need more. S3 is by far the best phone going right now, IMO. There will always be something bigger badder stronger around the corner. I think if the iphone 5 isn't something super amazing, like more than just an higher res screen. They will begin their decent a lot sooner. They will sell lots...be sure of that. But as before........ likely no.
[Galaxy S III General] hotmiamiblue:
to use iphone completly yo have to wait for jailbreak and we dont have to wait fir any jb on s3 s win win 4 us
[Galaxy S III General] dakunclear:
Jelly is already out in germany they figure within the next month or so for the rest of the world and then you get the buttery smoothness with it, but anyways even my brother who uses iphone and everything apple stated that he thinks apple is just being greedy and will hurt them in the long term and btw samsung appealed the jury decision so it will likely lead to 1billion owed will be tossed out and nothing will be banned
[Galaxy S III General] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
To get full use of android phones they need to be rooted.. not to say you can't do a lot more with an unrooted android phone than you can with a non-jailbroken iPhone. But.. S3 still needs root to use full potential.
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
Do you have any real numbers to compare a day before and a day after the court case?

Does common sense with the new iphone coming out around the 21 and a lot of iphone users knowing it will come out in a few days not slgive reason enough why sales of slowed down?

The SGS3 having a nation wide sale within a month apart doesn't give reason enough why the SGS3 is selling g great these last 2 months?

I don't know for sure, but couldn't you just go find a stock Tmobile ROM in one of the appropriate threads.

I have been trying to reset those with the correct settings and when I click on Save they won't save back to hte list...nothing saves. Also, having issues toggling the Airplane Mode ON and OFF.

Any ideas what the issue could be? This has happened with both CM9 ROM and AOKP ROM..have reflashed, rebooted, etc to no avail. Could this be an issue with the modem? How do I reinstall that if need be?
