people always want the latest and greatest. it doesn't matter if the improvements are slim or nonexistent. it is all about being the one with the newest device regardless of the quality. that is why they can get away with charging such a ridiculous amount for a device with minimal improvements.

They came to an agreement to allow apple to use the lte radios, at a cost of 65$ per radio per device. Compare that to the $15 they charge other manufacturers to lease the radios for their devices. That's why the new off contract price for a 64gb iFail 5 is 600$ and the 128gb is 800$ and the only difference between the 4s and 5 is a 4" screen vs 3.5" adding a 5th row of icons and the lte radio. Big win, :thumbdown: its SoC was barely upgraded, and 70% of the hardware in the phone is made by Samsung, SoC, radios, screen and logic board the only thing not made by Samsung in the housing, and the device is assembled in factories whose conditions violate international labor standards and are akin to slavery. Apple is taking alot of heat in the international market over their labor practices, south Korea and several European countries have outright banned the import and sale of any apple products, meaning you can't even buy one online because they will be seized at the import point. If the Google/Motorola patent suit against apple goes thru the same will happen here in the US and they won't be able to import the devices from the Chinese sweatshop/slave labor camps where that crap is assembled

It's very hard to explain to iphone fans why the iphone 5 sucks. They haven't got a clue what NFC really is, and only think it is used to make contactless payments......... :silly:

They forget about the other useful stuff NFC can do.

Same goes for DLNA, they think only Apple can stream wireless video via airplay as they have no F-ing clue what DLNA :silly:

And to top it off, they think that reversible plug is a gods gift and think microUSB is only used for charging....... LOL :D
[EVO 4G General] tempe38:
It's because that claim of Samsung owning 90% of LTE patents simply isn't accurate. If you look at the report here from 2011 Samsung had amassed about 284 patents or about 9% of the total. According to this article dated earlier this month Samsung is up to 819 but that's still only about 12% of the total. As you can see if that second link, Apple hasn't let itself out in the cold on LTE patents, developing or acquiring 434. We'll have to wait and see if it's enough to fight off a suit from Samsung, if Samsung ever actually files it.

---------- Post added at 03:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:20 AM ----------

Do you have a source for this? I've found no evidence of any agreement and I can't really see any regulators in any country allowing such a wide price discrimination on such licenses.

As there have been no tear downs for the iPhone 5 as of yet, there is no way to know any of this. I've seen speculation that A6 is based on a Cortex A15, which would put it in the same class as the S4 Snapdragon that powers the Evo 4G LTE and the US version of the Galaxy SIII. But that's still just speculation until it's actually torn down.

That same factory is used by Motorola, Amazon, Dell, HP and others, including Samsung. Chances are, if you have an Android phone, it was probably made in China.

That South Korea ban may still be in place but I can't imagine it's any more complicated than appeasing Samsung in their home country. As for the European one, that was a suit in Germany where Motorola won an injunction against Apple last December, but that injunction lifted and dismissed in February.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hskhenry:
I just received my galaxy note n7000 back from Samsung service centre after 2 months wait.

However, I noticed the phone speaker does not work somehow. Yesterday, I was able to call and hear notification sounds for a while and then I lost all the sounds from the phone after few hours later. I decided to talk to samsung tech team but when I looked my phone again this morning, it worked perfectly. Everything worked again. However, now I don't hear anything from the phone again. I have no idea what is going on since it worked this morning. I wanted to ask you guys first since I seriously don't want to wait another 2 months to use my phone and I believe it might be related to software bug since the sound worked again. Is there any known issue with that?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
if u think it's sw related then flash a stock rom from ur region thru pc Odin.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] letters_to_cleo:
it might be the volume bug ringer issue, try to simulate by increasing the volume under settings >sounds.. notifications, systems, media, ringtones and etc...

use your phone as you would use it and check back those settings again if they've been lowered or decreased by one notch. If you do notice that, then definitely it's a bug on the stock ICS firmware.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RLHawk:
Same Problem

I am having the same problem. I'm pretty sure it's a hardware problem, as I've tried changing all kinds of settings, turning the device completely off and back on, etc. And none of it makes any difference. It just doesn't work at all sometimes, and works just fine other times. I've even had it stop working in the middle of playing a sound.

Anyone know anything about this, or if there's any fix for it? I guess I'm going to try to get my device replaced, as it is still under warranty. I'm just worried that everything's going to work fine when I go to get it replaced, only to stop working once I get home.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] ShotMe:
Hi guys,

I've a strange problem... I tried to flash cyanogenmod 7 on lg p500 but i got uknown baseband... so, i changed it to 10E without success.

Now, i restored V20G official 2.3.3 firmware and it is still unknown. I can't choose any network.

I tried too, to flash on V20G the 20G baseband but the problem is always here.

Is there a way to solve this? Maybe it's an HW problem?

Thanks.

PS. Sim card is not recognized, i tried 3 diff sims!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] rr0yy:
Flash new baseband.. flashing zip stock firmware wont change baseband!!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] bluespoon4:
You can't just flash the rom to change the baseband, you have to use either the KDZ updater or LG's official upgrade. Some people have problems with KDZ, I personally have never had any. There's a good guide on it here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1060121 except instead of using the v10E firmware like in the guide, you should use a v20 firmware, it really doesn't matter which v20 (V20A, V20C, V20G). You could also use LG's official updater which is safer, it's available on their website. Make sure to backup anything you don't want to lose because flashing this new firmware will wipe everything, I would even backup your sd card. You will also lose root and your custom recovery, which can be gotten back very easily.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] pravin_pran:
Hi,

I had same issue. I had tried more than 10 sim card but my phone wont recognize any of them. I tried to change baseband, tried different ROMs and even flashed LG original firmware but to no avail. Then i showed my mobile to showroom and they repaired it. The problem was with hardware antena or pcb or something like that. I think you have the same issue like i had. After repair my mobile works perfectly and detect every sim card. Show your mobile to showroom and Gud luck.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mhystique:
Hi,

I know this properly have been asked many times ind here before, but I hope someone can help me out anyway.

To solve the classic problem with "low memory", I tried to root and install CM7 to my phone. Which I did manged to do, also more then just one time. But I allways run into the memory problem later on. So I read a few more threads, which said that I just use S2E and A2SD together. I even installed A2SDGUI.

But know matter what I do, I allways sees the problem with "low memory" eventually, perhaps 4 months later perhaps sooner. To my understanding, this should not be a problem, when you use S2E and A2SD scripts. Which make me think that I haven't done it right.

So my wish is that someone can give me a detailed manual to follow, so I can get past the f...... memory problem, and especially how to test to se if it works.

My SD Card is a Samsung 16GB class 10 card. I know your not excited about class 10 cards, but I'l give it a go, and I'llthink I have a smaller class 8 at home.

I like CM7, but as CM is my first and only custom rom I have tried, I can't say I don't like the others. So I'm not bound to any version, I just want to get the newest possible version of Android, which is fully functioning.

Hope someone can and will help.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k3lcior:
Pick any ROM you want, open the .zip file, go to /system/etc/init.d/ and delete the 10apps2sd script (it can be named like this or something very similiar), if there is no a2sd built then it's even better - dont do anything.

Now download - http://d-h.st/1vK , place it on the root of sdcard.

Wipe everything, make sure you have 1-1.5GB ext3 or ext4 partition (i suggest 1GB)

Flash the ROM, and then without leaving recovery flash the above a2sd script. ( http://d-h.st/1vK )

Voila, done you have 1 - 1.5GB internal memory. (depending on how big you ext partition is)

Keep in mind this script will keep all kind of app data on SD, so it might be slower (most a2sd scripts keeps /data/ partition on internal memory for performance reasons)

But since you're looking for a unlimited space it should fit you.

If you dont know how to flash a ROM, or ROOT then you need to read some flashing guides first.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mhystique:
Well I would like both when some app are on the internal memory, and other on the sd card. Cause some apps don't work well, when on sd card. So if there are a way to make this happen, it would be great. But that isn't the case is it?

Any I coming to try this.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mhystique:
It seems to be working, but when I through Titanium Backup restore a game (Big Business), I can't start that. It begins to load, and the switch back to startscreen. Then it switchs back and forth, before it eventually stops the game.

Is that because the backup is from another setup, with a2sd's?

[LG Optimus Black] rrgrrg:
hi guys i was wondering the "lg optimus black " has a "ti omap 3630" and the lg optimus l7 has "Qualcomm MSM7227A"

people say that "ti omap 3630" is better than "Qualcomm MSM7227A" but the wiered thing when playing games like asphalt 7

the "Qualcomm MSM7227A" wins and doesnt lag like "ti omap 3630" in the optimus black why is that
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
Probably because of bad support from TexasInstruments, bad code from LG itself and so on. I never understood it myself, but TI support really is pretty much the worse, I have even seen. Without the proper and up to date drivers for a device, how should you be able to use its' full potential? At least, these are my thoughts about that topic...

[Samsung Captivate Glide] mulakshoo:
Hello,

as my mt4g slide was stolen recently and I was dissatisfied with the inability to a) change the language of the physical keyboard and b) the keys on said keyboard I am looking into the Glide as an alternative. Obviously, there is a lot less development going on for this phone and I still cannot help, but the price of the phone is a big plus.

BUt I read of several GPS issues without any closer description what isnt working - so I ask: could those ICS GPS issues be a deterrent for me? I heavily rely on GPS on my phone for navigation and hiking. What do you say?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Shawn:
If you want, I can test the GPS for you. I hardly use it and haven't used it since ICS came out.

I've used google navigation quite a few times now. Intially it takes timeto acquire a GPS fix but there are no other issues that i've encountered.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] ericpeacock79:
i've used gps on my glide a LOT and it's always been good.

a lot of that usage is out in the boonies, it's been very handy...

a few times i've had to turn gps off and back on 1 or 2 times to get signal....

sometimes a few dozen feet off when it says turn here....

but all that is kinda par for the gps course, yes ?

typically, i have GPS and music player going while driving, and no issues.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] amppcguru:
My GPS use to show my location here at home off by a few miles initially when first turned on & then finally moving to the correct location after a few mins. Since upgrading to ICS it starts out exactly where I am now. :)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bakageta:
I can't complain about the GPS on ICS either. I did have the GPS crash once the first week after flashing, but it took all of 15 seconds to reboot and fix it. I use the GPS almost daily, often for an hour or more at a time, in places ranging from downtown LA to middle of nowhere in the socal deserts, and it's always quick to lock.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Darkshado:
A lot people forget that a GPS needs its almanac data, and that getting it (without cellular network assistance) can take 10-15 minutes. I wouldn't be surprised if it lost that data after a factory reset our simply not isn't the GPS for a while.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] micks_address:
Hi folks,

Typical newbie here.. i had my nexus 7 unlocked/rooted and flashed custom trinity kernel. All working great until i decided to apply the 720p video camera mod by going into the system/etc folder and editing the /system/etc/media_profiles.xml file directly. I thought I did it correctly and set the correct permissions but when i rebooted the nexus , i get the trinity boot screen for about 30 seconds, then a screen flash and then nothing.

I can reboot in clockwork recovery - but unfortunately I cant seem to be able to connect the nexus to a laptop we have her at work. I downloaded the nexus 7 toolkit and tried installing the windows 7 drivers but it failed. I'm not hoping when i get home and connect it to my own PC which already has the drivers it will recognise it and allow me to copy a zip file to the sd card so i can flash it.

I was also wondering if there is a way to completely reset the Nexus 7 without connecting it to a computer inside clockwork recovery?

Cheers,

Mick

can i ask what's the most efficient way to use Titanium backup when flashing roms? If i take an apps/data backup.. is there any point taking a system data backup if i'm flashing a new rom?

Last night i flashed CM 10, then flashed gapps to get back into the play store.. then downloaded titanium backup, ran my apps + data restore and eveything was back as i wanted.. stuff from the homescreen had gone etc.. but i guess no way around that?

also how does backing up/restoring to google drive work with titanium backup?

With the deflated announcement yesterday, I'm thankfully going to get my S3.

Can any folk on here who have experience with Android and a Mac please tell me if the following is a good setup for use with a Mac and iCloud? Or suggest better options that what I've given?

For syncing of iCal and Contacts I'm thinking about getting Smooth Sync from Play Store. The only problem with this, I believe, is that Calendar, Contacts... and email will not be pushed. Instead will have to be retrieved at set intervals.

For syncing of iTunes and iPhoto, I'll need Kies. I did read somewhere that there is a better alternative, but can't remember the name of the software.

Finally, is there anything else I need to consider when using the S3 with a Mac?
