[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] milan03:
You have a point there, but as far as I know round corners and square icons aren't considered essential FRAND patents. Also, after Apple acquired Nortel, they acquired Nortel's essential LTE patents as well. Basically the patents required for cellular communication has to be offered under the fair use, and as far as I know that's done when signing your supplier deal in this case Qualcomm where you pay the license fees. So this is rather strange move by Samsung.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
Yeah exactly. Don't worry, milan has typed up about 15 pro-Apple posts in the other thread so he's going to argue anything, any of us say.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] milan03:
Ok I'll just agree from now on whether the posts coming in are right or wrong lol... Does that make you feel better? :laugh:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonu42:
can someone describe curved to me? How can apple specify what "curved is" Say the ipohne has a corner curve of 120 degrees. Lets say our samsung phone has a curve of 130. How the **** can apple sue samsung over something they dont even use?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JetBlue:
Because the whole world except for the people who have a brain think Apple is God and will give them anything they say.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
You are on an android forum, a sgs3 forum. Your argument was old after the first couple posts. We get it, you like apple more then Samsung, think samsungs wrong and apples right. Your trolling at this point with continuous rants. Go support apple over at Apple forums. I'm not saying your wrong or right, its just getting old.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NuclearEMP:
The jury already thinks Apple is the inventors of all smartphones

Apple will somehow manage to make it look like the invented another form of late and Samsung renamed it

Screw lawsuits and patents. I can't wait until the first major defects of the iPhone 5 bust out just a few weeks after release. I can't see it now with some major issue with the unibody frame or something.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] milan03:
Sure that's why I own Galaxy Nexus and SGS3... I see your point.

How is an objective look at the lawsuit, and bringing awareness of possible legal issues that both companies will have to deal = trolling? You seem to have a problem with anything that's open for a debate and that's not simply a cheerleading post.

Let's stay on topic please. Trolling is bringing unnecessary personal attacks. If you have issues with me, send me a PM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
Take a look at the other thread and you'll get my point. Well maybe not lol No, everything you say is negative towards Samsung. Any time someone here posts something about apple an how this case is ridiculous, you are always right there trying to correct them. Its like your job is to keep a positive apple atmosphere in these threads.

I value your input as I've learned some good things from you but you can't deny you're a bit one sided in your views an continually trying to stomp on other users views. I know we are as well, but this is a ANDROID forum. I'm done.

Anyway I think Samsung is giving a little threat an honestly think they should go for it after what apple has pulled. Is it gonna stop apple from having LTE, no. But it can give them a little trouble like apple is doing to Samsung.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] milan03:
Nothing against Samsung, just from a legal standpoint I'm disappointed with the way they're handling this whole issue. Suing for LTE patents is not gonna do much good to them. How about breaking all the components contracts with Apple as a starter? Sure Apple is their biggest client, but I'm sure Samsung would easily find other clients. That would slow down the iPhone release, no?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
That's a good point. I'd like to know what percent of samsungs profit is from selling parts too iphone. I agree, I say they cut off selling their parts to Apple. I think the LTE patents is just because they'd like to give apple a taste of what they have been doing to them. Which yeah, its absurd but then again so is what apple suing samsung over. Its all a mess and sad its all happening.

Heres an intersting read. Not sure the validity of the site but its claiming they're getting screens from Sharp.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
Maybe instead of arguing over who is trolling and who is an Apple fan everyone stop making these stupid threads and post in the first one that pops up and stay there. There are like 10 of these threads in every Samsung forum...now THAT is stupid.

Hi Everybody, I recently bought this phone but i still don't recivied it

So i have somes questions:

I guess that's unlock the bootloader from htcdev.com delete the warranty but this phone look's like to have serious issues :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=26000212#post26000212

And i don't know if my phone is a new one or an older one with default , so i guess tomorow the delivery packet will come and i don't know if i take it or not, if i don't take it the device will come back to the seller and he will refund me.

Should i take it or not because i'm going to unlock the bootloader but i'm affraid of losing warranty on this phone?

I saw on american one x forum that's there is a way to avoid losing warranty with a fake IMIE does it work on european phones?

Thank in advance

I am in the same spot as you except I got my unlocked international version 2 days ago and I have read about WiFi issue if phone is squeezed, etc. I know my radio and WiFi have been strong day one but I may search for a quid of known issues and check mine out. I know this..it is all black and sexy as can be and as of now has been great but I may have missed a key known issue or two. I have this S3, a GNex, Nexus 7, EVO LTE . its hard to keep on tip of everything. And I have only had my other EVO for 2 weeks. I am an absolute HTC noob. Sammys I can root, return to stock, upgrade with my eyes closed. This is a whole other way of doing things..edit...I was on some older software but just updated to 2.17.xxxx ...time to root and get rid of these odd extra apps in here

I m not understanding whats going on??

DOWNLOAD HERE - www.whatsapp.com/android/

Many people keep flooding AKOP / CMX threads with request for Whatsapp because it won't show on the Play store due to incompatibility with JB.

1. Download the .APK from the provided address above

2. Copy it to your SD card / Internal storage

3. Go to settings -> Security -> Enable "Unknown Sources"

4. Install the .APK from your SD Card / Internal Storage.

5. Open ROM manager and run Fix Permissions

6. Reboot

Note :

The App is NOT compatible with JELLYBEAN as of the date of this post (31st Aug), go bug the developer to fix this issue.

You can contact the Dev here : http://www.whatsapp.com/contact/​

Can a mod make this a sticky ?
[HTC One X] a704e:
It's AOSP (Android Open Source Project) and AOKP (Android Open Kang Project). If people would just use the search function in the threads, this wouldn't be necessary; however the type of people who don't search would probably not see this anyway.

I don't really see any of the functionalities of the app to be incompatible with Jelly Bean, it seems just to be the developer not bothering to update the compatibility list.

One X to rule them all.
[HTC One X] asp2010:
This is just another reason why you shouldn't bother with WhatsApp. I've never touched it since I heard about the private data leak and messages being sent in plain text, and besides there are so many great alternatives out there, like GroupMe or Kik Messenger.

Btw, cool sig you got there, mate:good::D

[Miscellaneous Android Development] yuweng:
Hi e-infor,

You have given me no lead at all as why it doesn't work on ur phone.... :o First you need to let me know the link to ur ROM & all info that you know about ur phone so we can start trouble-shooting it... :cool:

Just for sharing, a fellow xda member pm me & we started diagnosing the problem then later we found out that he is having a MT6575 with yaffs partition ! MT6575 should have an ext4 system.img...Later on, i recommend him another shifu to help him on his problem... :D

i don't have MT6575 & i don't know if my tuts will work on it but i'm very sure dsixda's Android Kitchen will work on MT6575 as well as the newer MT6577... :good:

i dare not touch those Android Kitchen scripts as they are all too complex for me... :o

Now you need to include mkbootfs & mod related scripts then it will be a fully working Android Kitchen for MT6573... :good:

@e-infor

It is not possible to port Miui over, as there are many great ROM cooker out there, they would have done it long time ago... :o

However, many have successfully ported Lewa OS to their MT6573 & lately, it support MT6575 & later on MT6577 too... :good:

It is very similar to MIUI...

[Miscellaneous Android Development] jurben:
i haven't finalize the modification sir. That modification hasn't work, but i've made good progress.

in final i want the kitchen to identify the boot image and than the script insert the modification to the source of mkbootimg and the extractor script but than cleaning the modification at the end of the job.

i see there is a script in that kitchen that do things like that to these files to adjust kernel offset parameter.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] yuweng:
@jurben

in fact i have try my hands on it too & what you said is correct; existing Android Kitchen packing script will insert base address & that make the packed boot.img unbootable on MT65xx.... :p

All in all, there will be quite a numbers of other scripts that need modding too; one that does the manual unpacking & others but i'm sure you'll find a way to make it work... :fingers-crossed:

We'll wait for your good news... :good:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] yuweng:
yeoh friend, you have given me no clue at all as why it didn't work, at least you could have list the name of the ROM or may be a link to your ROM...

From my experience, it should be a corrupted system.img...

However, in the past, i did tried a link from fellow xda member that he post for his stock ROM from his local distributor, Android Kitchen unpack it with error. Only a few folders & files got extracted, at the end i tried flashing it with SP Flash Tool & to my surprise it boots up fine !

So what i did was, at ADB shell, su then mkyaffs2image /system /sdcard/system.img & got the backup system.img & with that Android Kitchen unpack it just fine, funny as it sound... :cool:

Use Root Explorer & copy it to /system/bin & at ADB shell, su then chmod 755 /system/bin/mkyaffsimage

Thanks :)
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
The original Kindle Fire animation was simply an orange and white Kindle Fire logo that sat there and did nothing, which would be kinda weird IMO popping up after the blue and white Kindle Fire boot logo, which is actually your bootloader splash screen. I highly suggest NOT changing that one
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jared631:
...

Soupmagnet is right about the bootloader animation. That would be quite the pain to change, and you could risk somehow bricking your device... (Not fun, mines currently bricked, or in some sort of hang. Fasboot mode.... I hate it) So, yeah anyways, if you were just looking for a boot animation, I do have some expirence changing those.

I have a suggestion Deftone. Why dont you just make 1 thread for all your upcoming review? Like we say its Xperia X8 ROM Review, I know there is already a thread like that but yours ofcourse is different and more infos.. Lets say you have 10 ROMs to review user, more likely will not see your past reviews if those new thread piled up. Another thing if its for RC, all of your reviews will be counted as one even though you created 20 reviews. IMO :)

Keep it up :)
[XPERIA X8 General] KingAmir:
Thanks for your suggestion. But I do not want to pile all of my review into one thread. I know that it will be neater but this will respawn the massive issue of too long didn't read. I would like my reviews to be considered as individual editions, like magazines. It will be easier for me to manage as well.

However, I could create one thread That i keep updating with links to all my reviews. And then put a link to that thread in every new review I create. This will solve the two problems you mentioned. Think of it as creating a review network.

I do not really care about RC - if I get it I will be extatic but it seems like it will be a long time before that happens. As long as I serve the XDA community to the max, I am fine.
[XPERIA X8 General] CtrlAltDelIrl:
Good idea but you haven't actually given a review of the rom, or is that coming?

This is more of a history of the rom.
[XPERIA X8 General] KingAmir:
A review is giving your opinion of something in a professional climate. I think I did that. I also think you just read the introduction paragraphs. Any further suggestions, just say. Don't ever feel like I will troll you or anything. I am just here to help.

EDIT: I read the link you provided CtrlAltDellrl. This is in a lot of detail I label my reviews mini because I will not go into that much detail.

Tell me what you think. Still a history.

In addition to this, I said the bold icons revolutionize gingerbread. This in itself is a review seeing as I am giving my opinion about a part of the ROM.
