I heard...

I heard that the Galaxy S3's were pulled from shelves yesterday because Apple won? Can someone please verify this? Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Brian Gove:
Yup. Its true. They're also recalling all the ones that have been sold already. They say by the end of the month they'll have them all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buhohitr:
Come on, are you for real?? that law suit had nothing to do with the S3 yet. Apple just added the S3 to the law suit. It will take a while before a decision will be made. In the mean while get it while you can.

No the s3 suit hasn't even been heard yet. You can still buy it on Verizon and I'm sure anywhere else its sold.

Supposedly the S3 actually outsold the iPhone last month, so that's an impressive shot across the bow. Of course the new iPhone will launch in a couple weeks and obliterate it but..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Pete7ate:
Apple is acting just like Microsoft when they ruled the computer world want it all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mulox:
Exactly... everything happens in cycles. And when the Note 2 comes out, it will likely outsell the new iPhone in that month/quarter...

Ehh, I dunno about that. The damn thing is just so friggin huge! I think the S3 is just right. Now, if they could stop releasing beta version phones and fix the bugs, i would be content, lol.

Was there even a case in Korea? or is it a rumor?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mdt73:
The one that has affected me the most is the "no sim" message. Even with a phone swap, there's something going on between Verizon Towers and the S3. Google it.

No, I lied, having my S3 plugged into the line in jack in my MINI, receiving a call, and not being able to talk via the bluetooth connection... THAT is the one that bugs me the most. Almost a deal breaker unless I can fix it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ngocdao:
Sounds like an isolated issue. Did you swap the device and sim or just the device?

I didnt understand the second part~whats a Mini?

we don't see things as they are; we see things as we are.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mdt73:
The "no sim" issue is not an isolated issue.

I swapped the phone, also asking for a brand new sim just to be sure. Randomly, while looking at an A2DP Bluetooth Media device at Best Buy today, my phone decided to give me the no sim message again while attempting to check on reviews for the product. STILL, this isn't as irritating as not being able to use the bluetooth telephone connection while simultaneously using the headphone jack connected to aux in on the car.

Whenever you see the word MINI capitalized, it refers to the car manufacturer MINI, made by BMW. Start seeing things correctly, wherever you are...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ngocdao:
Ohhh i thought only douches or girls drove those, so i thought "naw!! It couldnt be!!"

Anyways, google iphone 5. More results. Doesnt mean much.

Anyways, i was asking to try to help you out... but seems like you and your mini douche got it all covered :)

we don't see things as they are; we see things as we are.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mdt73:
What part of this quote above was you helping? Was it the part where you assumed it was an isolated issue? And then subsequently shown it was actually widespread? Or where you didn't know that MINI was a brand of car (that gets me 33mpg city, and is paid off, both of which, I am fairly certain, you couldn't say about your bus pass). Want to stay on topic? The iPhone 4S has neither of these issues... so there's that.

At any rate, if you could actually help with the more important issue plaguing a lot of S3 owners and find a fix for the headphone jack \ bluetooth phone audio, you might actually gleen some respect from members of XDA. Not that I am honestly asking you to help with the issue, because I am fairly certain you wouldn't have a clue how to fix either.

Anyone read up that article about Chinese company "GooPhone" made a phone called the i5 which runs on 4.1 but looks exactly like the iphone5 leak?

A friend showed that to me the other day, I'm curious as to how this will play out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] noingwhat:
As much as I hate apple, I really hope this doesn't work out for them. If they happen to get away with this, it would start a chain reaction of companies doing this all the time, and it will be far worse than the corruption apple had taken advantage of. And btw, the iPhone isn't the only thing they copied, I read they ripped off our beloved GS3 too, so if they can get away with suing for the iPhone, we might be next.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
From my understanding, this is a Samsung issue - have you called Verizon or Samsung to request a fix or feature change, perhaps?

I've called Verizon and gotten to their lower-level Tech desk a couple times, in each case submitting either a detailed bug report or a feature request. Figure it's the best I can do.

Mind you we are not little kids, Mid to late 20 year olds lol

IMO, if your fine with paying a premium for simplicity and having every included feature work, that is great, iphone is perfect. For others who love to tinker with stuff, push its hardware to the limits, there is better options. =) I see myself still having this S3 2 years from now, with whatever newer version of Android will be out by than.

Samsung to sue apple for using LTE in the iphone 5 lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
Well, if one is ROMming, reboots and such from non-stock code can do that, but it's part of the appeal on running without the safeties on. Otherwise, I wonder which phones have such issues in stock form that has led to this prejudicial story from Apple owners. And, perhaps they are selectively forgetting all the instability problems with iOSes 4 and 5 in their first years.

Our Incredible 2 never rebooted due to an error on stock Gingerbread. Neither of our pre-ordered Samsung Galaxy S IIIs reboot or otherwise require a fresh boot to fix anything - they work as swimmingly as the Incredible 2, stability-wise. And, have features that have never been available on stock iPhones (e.g., how few options do iPhone owners have to share their on-phone pictures, again?)

I've read reports that surveys indicate iPhone apps break and/or are less stable than Android apps, overall. But, iOS separates app processes from the system rather stringently, so instead of the Android popup asking if you want to Force Close a slow/misbehaving app or wait, iOS just lets the bad app die and sends you back to the home screen. Because there is no "back" context that we have on Android phones, that is: iOS only knows to send users back to their home screen.

Yeah, that's been in the works for awhile, I believe. Although nothing will likely come of it, Apple deserves a massive enema, I feel.

Another apple steal

Saw where one big feature of the I phone 5 is the larger screen that allows an extra row of fixed icons. We have had that on the Samsung GS3 already. Looks like another apple copy. Time for another law suit.

Yep. And if I'm not mistaken, they will sometimes check when people pass that ten post limit (or whatever other restrictions are set) to be sure the posts are legit. In other words, spamming the forums to get above a 10 post count won't work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mdt73:
Half of your list focused on iTunes. Check out cydia sometime, it does the rest of the things you speak of... except, as you said, flashing roms. I understand people disliking iPhones for some competative e-peen reasons, but most of you aren't honest about it, or just don't know because you never tried. What you missed, because you didn't take the time to learn, are things like NFC, resolution, exchangeable batteries, etc. Those are reasons to own our beloved S3, not your crap "refund apps" and "shop apps from multiple sources" silliness.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
The elephant in the room is that iTunes is practically required for iPhone management, though. iTunes is a significant demotivator for me when it comes to Apple mobile devices - which is why I use MediaMonkey to manage content on our iPod Touch (a hand-me-down gift) and iPad 2 (the spouse thought she wanted one, rarely uses it of course).

That's not really silliness, as having some freedom of choice in where you buy/obtain an app and actually having a (small amount of) time to return it is part and parcel of the open environment that Android devices can offer.

I agree with the other items, but essentially it comes down to a simple statement: the list is long, with major and minor differences that do add up to provide rather different experiences, if one desires. That's the flexibility of Android at play, IMHO.

You can expect any Android device to NOT capitalize on the fear cloud of digital media theft. Download/upload/stream your own media right out of the box, no licensing restrictions like itunes, not sure if a jailbroken iPhone has the same capability, I do know stock Android on any carrier does.. what's that tell you?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
Wait, did you just delete my reply on the topic of iTunes?

I was being quite respectful and felt no animosity on the topic or in what I expressed in the post content, but still had an opinion to offer on why I thought iTunes was a legitimate point to discuss as far as negatives/positives of the iPhone go.

But why would anyone need to jailbreak an iPhone isn't it already perfect? :rolleyes:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xenster:
I've never really had an issue with the iPhone. In fact, I'm glad it came around because it pushed other phone manufacturers to push for new tech.

However, this is the exact attitude I get from iPhone users whenever the idea of a phone being competitive comes up. They don't seem to understand that the 4 and even the 4s is dated tech at this point. I actually had high hopes for the iPhone 5, but it seems it's not gonna be the fantastical leap I had hoped for.

Good ol' Woz. The true genius behind the origins of Apple.

It's not surprising that a guy who's actually done what Woz has for computing would disagree with huge corporations (even one he helped found) stifling ideas and competition with overly-broad patents. It's easy to see in hindsight that's exactly what IBM, HP and the big guns of the day would have done to Woz and Apple in the early days if they had had a clue, and behaved as shamelessly as Apple does now.

There is a reason that Apple won the recent lawsuit against Samsung in the US while losing lawsuits in every other country (Japan, UK, S. Korea, Germany). I will point out the obvious, Apple is a US based Fortune 500 company. Isn't it obvious? It's simple politics that the US courts were trying to protect our own. There is a very low possibility that a foreign manufacturer such as Samsung will win a ban lawsuit against Apple here in the US.

The apple company wants samsung to pay $2.5 Billion dollars and stop promoting it’s most popular smart-phones and Tabs in the US market. New samsung, in turn, is challenging The apple company pay it $399 thousand for purportedly using Samsung’s technology without appropriate expenses in making the legendary iPhone and iPad.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gofaster87:
The only time I thought apple was cool was while I worked at college campus Apple store and the manager gave me a free ipod when they first came out. I remember when the first 20gb monster(that thing literally weighed the same as a small brick) came out, it was like heaven on earth back then. The computers never really impressed me. I also worked as ssa for a mac lab looking over a couple hundred puters for photo and editing work. I spent most of my time ocing my intel puters and working on liquid cooling before they became mainstream. Phone wise, never really impressed. I loved android since it was first released.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
The link I referenced only took me to a mobile view of Facebook, so seemed meaningless.

I don't recall folks here going to Verizon's forums and interrupting their site with locked bootloader complaints, but that wouldn't seem quite the same thing as Apple fans denigrating a competing product at Samsung site (especially considering that they are coming from a position of weakness . . .)
