Lol there is no way "only old fashioned studios/agencies are working with apple", chances are if you work in the design, video/photo editing, or another related artistic field you are working on a Mac. Most all the labs at any University for those industries is going to be filled with iMacs.

And OSX is based on the Linux kernal so it basically is a form a linux...and THAT is why more and more businesses (even those outside the design related fields) are starting to run Macs, because Windows just has too many vulnerabilities.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] juanflight:
and mac doesn't have vulnerabilities? just wait... They have been slowly going over pc's... chances ARE that I've worked on, and I'll keep working on mac's; matter of fact, I work on both platforms as some programs are not running the way they used to on our macs so we were forced to look into solutions. But just sit tight and wait.

Android vs IOS is getting old. I have both.. Why are this threads keep popping up if people are happy with their S3's.. like the saying goes "can't beat em' join em' " so I did.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Darmokk:
No, OSX doesn't have vulnerabilities like Windows does, certainly not to the same degree. Is OSX invulnerable? Hell no, but its a helluva lot more secure than a Windows rig
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Gillion:
Incorrect.

OSX is based upon the MACH kernel.

OSX is a Unix like operating system based on research work done at NeXT computing... which has its core in the MACH kernels.

It is not based on Linux.

There are sections of the OS that use features of Free BSD and NetBSD ... which are other but similar implementations of UNIX

The OSX kernel along with IOS are the the only current running mach kernels popular systems.

Linux is not a mach kernel... and it is monolithic.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] JWhipple:
Just my 2 cents... I just came back to Android to a GS3 after a 2 month stretch with an iPhone 4S.

Here's the reader's digest condensed version of the story:

1) I never even tried an iPhone before switching , just wanted to try something new. I'd read the horror stories from other persons who had tried.

2) It's not a bad phone, works well out of the box.

3) Apps are a little more expensive.

4) Long story short - it's just not for me, but I should not have been bad-mouthing it the way I had been for years without having ever tried it. I will stand down from giving any iPhone user grief in the future.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Skip-Breezy:
I instantly fell in love with the SG3 when I first played around with it at my local T-Mobile store. I've always found Droids easier to use & better customizing options than iPhones. I own a Macbook Pro, best laptop(in my opinion). At the end of the day, its your own opinion but I'm get the SG3 whenever my Sensation gives out on me.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] benefit14snake:
I use android personally and ios for work. Biggest thing that bothers me is no back button on ios. I don't always want to go home lol. I also love capacitive buttons not a big fan of on screens. Also what I don't get is the rounded edges on apps, I think it's tacky. The last thing is lag... Yeah I said it lag on ios 5 and 6. Maybe the ipods we use aren't meant to run ios 6 but it lags like crazy.. I am constantly restarting the thing. The speaker works nice and the standby battery life is superb.

Just came from a store and they had the iPhone 5 and 4s side by side..played wig both ..didn't notice much difference .

And no way in hell would I leave the s3 for the iPhone 5
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] azkerosene:
I've had to use an iPhone 4s for work (not allowing android phones). After using it now for about 9 months, I've come to the conclusion that there are 3 major groups of iPhone users:

1) The smartphone for not quite so smart people. These are the people for who the simplicity of the iPhone is a necessity. You start adding any complexity and they turn stupid.

2) The fashion accessory people. These people Must! Have! the latest iPhone to show just how with it they are. And there is the subgroup to this who get the blingiest bling cases that ever blinged a bling.

3) The Apple Cultist. These are the people who cannot understand that your phone works for you, my phone works for me, stop complaining that I like something different from you.

I was due for an upgrade. Played with the iPhone5 and decided on the SGS3. FOR ME, the iPhone5 would have been unsatisfactory for me for the next 18 months to 2 years. Besides, I have the work phone if I feel the need to play with iOS.

(And yes I jail broke it to make it more "user friendly". Just don't tell work - they wouldn't like that.)

I'm actually an Auditor and we were planning to do a mobile device audit. One of the valid reasons why companies want to implement corporate-wide iPhones than Androids due to the ability to secure them across the board. Since you are trying to easily add group policies to one OS vs the many different OS/builds/custom roms on Android. Makes things harder to secure whereas less OS fragmentation is more secure and compliant when individuals try to access corporate networks. But I did read somewhere that Samsung got some sort of enterprise setup as well that they are working on so it may change the game.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mingkee:
I really like my S3....

iPhone/iPad is pain for me to use. I even have no clue how to transfer the pictures to computer.

No "back" button is a major pain for me. Every time I have to press home button if the app does not have "back", bummer!

No ogg vorbis and windows media support: this is another major pain for me because 99% (about 5000) of audio files I converted are .ogg (good audio quality @192kbps), and I have a lot of uploaded to youtube videos are windows media (used Windows Movie Maker). In addition, I wouldn't convert downloaded .flv videos because the file size becomes large after converting, so I'd stay the same and S3 video player can play .wmv and .flv directly.

No removable battery is nothing but more major pain for me. I have to bring two more batteries because I use S3 as "internet radio walkman", so ALL phones with unremovable batters is simply NO-GO.

I have a lot of pain which cannot be listed for iProducts.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] psykhotic:
Have you tried USB and Windows explorer....

I like the removable battery in theory but honestly I don't trust the back cover of my s3 for long term durability. I've seen way too many plastic tabs break off car interiors when stripping them.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sarni84:
Well guess what.... the battery door is not car interior lol nor comparable. My s2 and my galaxy nexus has the same back cover and not one problem. I think the design is actually very nice and it gets more electronics and etc. into the phone these days. Especially with how skinny they are becoming
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] knarfies:
In no way am i trying to get a people to hate on apple with my post. I admit that i am ignorant in regards to apple products. I do have a old nano that i use for my pioneer dvd receiver but it pisses me off time to time as the nano crashes and i have to hard reset it. I blue tooth google play more and more now because of this. Yesterday i went to update my friends "iphone 4" and it took hours. Why? Because i dont even think it was a 4. It only had like 6 gigs of memory which either proves my theory that people buy apple because its trendy and have no clue what they are buying or verizon ripped her off. To make space, i had to remove all her pics. Why it had to have 2.4 gigs of space for a 588 mb update i have no clue. Moving the pics to my netbook was a pain too. Took an hr when with my s3 it would have taken 20 to 30 min. Overall, my experience with apple was negative. The os seemed too plain and simple. I understand that the os is supposed to be lag free but i truely believe thats because the system is like a one track mind. Not much room for doing much else.

Still plastic...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] psykhotic:
I have an s3... and I know factory owners in China that do injection molding.

Plastic breaks. Especially when you add heating and cooling. It's part of the reason my Sammy TV separated. Snappy plastic is how almost every car interior is made these days. I was disappointed by the phone design especially because the removable battery/storage were why I picked it over the HTC one ABC. I love my s3 but there's no way I'd swap batteries daily. I'll be buying an external battery if the time comes.

I took about 20 minutes to put iOS 6 on my iPad 2 and about 10 minutes to transfer 1000 pictures through windows explorer. It's possible an 8gb iPhone 4 only has 6gb memory.

My 16gb s3 has 12gb storage.. and the 2gb of RAM is 1.6gb..... of course for $30 I was able to add ~30gb so no biggy.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tphone:
Apple makes good hardware, but I am a lot more productive with the S3 and not to mention a lot cheaper to own. The S3 has a barometric sensor that makes GPS tracking with some app accurate, especially if you fly (hang gliding, paragliding, etc.). More over, you can swap battery spending the whole long weekend in the nature and you can charge the battery separately, not having your phone connected to the charger. As many mentioned, I have 32GB MicroSD and I can take quite a bit of things with me and can use that as USB drive if needed. The notification LED is very convenient. iPhone users look sick to have to constantly turn on their device to check for notification. And widgets are more than just nice looking. They are very useful, for example the traffic widget is one of the very nice thing to have. I am not surprised that Apple can sells a lot of iPhones. Many of iPhones user have never experienced Android or S3. Even the sales people in Apple stores are quite stunned just to see my S3 screen. You notice that the majority of people in Apple stores are from baby boom generation (older and have money) who don't know what they are missing. They are there either to buy things for themselves or buy things for their children. Apple gets a lot of free advertising from the media most of the time. No public reviewer has stated that the iPhone is not for everyone, just for a class of people that you see in the Apple stores (mentioned above). They just say that the iPhone5 is the best smartphone, period. Samsung's lost of the patent dispute recently adds to the image of Samsung and/or Android as cheap copy cat and that is not justified at all. The plastic battery door is not an issue, since when you buy extra batteries, most seller include an extra battery door for free. I am sure that Android, Windows phones will move on and Apple will be stuck with the class of people it serves and can't change the old looking look & feel. The big home button is annoying for me for example. And Apple will never allow customized keyboard like Swype and other.

Do anyone know if there is an external microphone for the non 3G Version of the Tablet? I mostly need it for recording lectures while writing on the tablet. the noise of writing is too anoying...

edit: okay just checked with my samsung headset, it works!

so anyone can advice me a good microphone for recording lectures?

thanks!
[Thinkpad Tablet Accessories] werpnst8:
Do you have a screen protector on your tablet, and if so, is the noise loud in spite of it? I just recently put the armor shield screen protector on my tablet and it has cut the noise WAY down. Works great, but I haven't tried to do any recording.
[Thinkpad Tablet Accessories] raph3ix:
yes i also have this armor shield, which is really great, but the noise of the microphone is just annyoing :/

i was at my local AV Store and they showed me some products but most of them are very big (but should do a great job) or too expensive (>200€...)
[Thinkpad Tablet Accessories] DeucesAx:
Did you end up getting a microphone?
[Thinkpad Tablet Accessories] raph3ix:
nope still not... the good ones are too expensive for me, and the cheaper ones are to big to carry around all the time.

The guy in the AV Store told me, that it would be the best to buy a cheap voice recorder, there are some which have already USB and can be used as USB Stick, so i just can plug it into the tablet and sync the mp3 files there... price is about 40-100€ and it has a great sound quality for that price.

so if you need it for recording lectures and stuff you may be good with that!

also an idea the guy in the store gave me was USB Microphone. There is the Samson Go Mic, which should have a really great quality and you can use it via USB.

I tried with an USB Audio Card on the tablet and i could use it with https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.sobe.usbaudio but with so much delay that it wasnt that good.. maybe it works on CM10? didnt tested it... USB Audio support should be in jelly bean...
[Thinkpad Tablet Accessories] DeucesAx:
If you want to record lecturerecordings in combination with lecturenotes. I haven't tried it out yet but it's supposed to sync your handwritten notes with the recording.

Lecturenotes itself is pretty awesome.
[Thinkpad Tablet Accessories] raph3ix:
yes as i saw kind of that.. you can replay the notebook with the recording and see the site where you have written at the same time...

because of the very bad sound quality (and the noise of the pencil) i didnt tried it once more...

I tried the older script version and edify and verified no errors and no go on flashing... Maybe something in the script isnt right for samsung. .. Ie. That kitchen is mainly for htc. .

Id love to put a rom together with you. Your theming is nice on my a500 :D

Also figured id ask the n8000 guys what they are cooking roms with since im having errors
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pimpmaneaton:
I would assume that the 8000 and 8013 have the same partitions as far as boot,system and most all that. I would verify the script that the kitchen is making with a know good script for a N8000 ROM. Verify mount points and all that jazz. Would bet there is an error on how the kitchen in building the updater-script.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Entropy512:
dsixda doesn't recognize the N80xx... I can't remember if it has I9300 support, but you need to place the model number as an empty file in one of the directories (forget which one...)

For example, look for GT-I9100... The same directory MIGHT work for N80xx/I9300 as I think the kernel and system partitions are the same, but not sure.

I currently have the HTC One X. I'm missing root (somewhat happily stuck on 2.20 from the day I purchased it) and I am not finding the camera to be 100% a clear winner in the race to have the best camera on a phone.

Now, there is a $100 difference and I'm already invested in the HTC One X accessory wise and chances are I won't recover much, if any, of the money I've put into One X accessories. Can the store bill the $100 difference between the phones to my account rather than having me shell out the $100 now? I'd do it now but I don't get paid until next Friday and I'll be out of my 30-day exchange window.

I'm new to galaxy tab(used htc one v before). i have some questions about flashing roms.

I have a GSM galaxy tab with stock 2.2 android rooted(using z4root) and i checked my bootloader with chainfire's app(SGT bootloader or something like that) and i did't need to patch the bootloader.

which one do you recommend? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1385153 or http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1613842

which one supports usb host mode?

how can i connect a usb device to the tab?(a picture would be better.)

which is more stable?

Do i have to update android 2.2 to 2.3.3? if yes , please upload the files.

Can i install the rom using CWM recovery? if yes , how can flash CWMR?

Follow the link in my signature.

That is overcome method.

It will bring you to clean gingerbread Rom first, then it will install cwm .

From there you can install either Rom.

Usb host mode is not practical. You need to supply power to the usb from external source.
