You won't regret it. I'm sending the Greens back, and ordered the Reds. Given what I want to do with the system, data loss is the last thing I wanted niggling on the back of my head. I mean, what's the point of paying twice for the storage space if you can't really trust it?

Other than that, it's a really kick ass system. The android apps are not bad either. I really like clicking on a torrent on the phone and having the NAS back home starting the download. :D

Hey mates! During my internship I created a design concept of the galaxy s4. You can find it here: http://www.giga.de/smartphones/sams..._source=giga&utm_medium=feed&utm_term=android

If you want to read some of the text, just use Google translate :p I just wanted to share those mockups with some fellows. :)
[Off-topic] :
Wow, thats Nice work!!! But do you really think it gets an aluminium (uni)body? Never seen else but plastic samsungs :p

Btw, I really like the way you designed the home button, looks soo sleek :p
[Off-topic] ben_pyett:
Looks lovely.... But then I would think that as I reckon it closely resembles a nexus 4
[Off-topic] enigmaamit:
The Nexus 4 has a physical home button and off screen capacitive keys? :confused:
[Off-topic] ben_pyett:
clearly with the exception of the hard/capacitive buttons :D
[Off-topic] enigmaamit:
Your previous comment confused me wherin you likened the S4 concept to the N4 (or so i interpreted)... I saw no similarity, hence the question.
[Off-topic] ben_pyett:
no need to be confused, you're right I did liken the two, as I recon they do look alike if you ignore the physical buttons.

Holding an N4 whilst looking at the concept I can see a great deal of similarity

So, guys, what do you expect from Galaxy S IV? Do you think it's gonna get bigger? Or get the newest TouchWiz iteration? Or maybe it'll have Tizen onboard?
[Off-topic] shrome99:
There's no telling whether they will put a 4.7 or 5 inch screen, though it will definitely be 1080p. I'm certain Samsung will put the next version of touchwiz on it, there's no way in hell Samsung will screw up their flagship with tizen.

@eyahl: They look amazing :D The home button LED always seemed like a great idea (as seen on the Nexus One), this minimal approach is brilliant too.
[Off-topic] PVL_93_RU:
Considering that many vendors took the fashion of 5" screens, I'm kinda certain that Samsung will put a 5" on S IV, especially since it's the new flagship model, the (timed) leader of their products.

Though then I'd ask - what's the point of making S IV with 5" when we already have GNote? (the 1st one)
[Off-topic] shrome99:
That's why I think they would use the 4.7 inch screen, so that there is a marginal difference between the Galaxy S and Note series.
[Off-topic] PVL_93_RU:
Maybe move up to 4.8 or 4.9"? :D
[Off-topic] enigmaamit:
@shrome, in case you haven't noticed, the S3 screen is 4.85 inches diagonally (The One X is 4.7) already... so moving it up to 5 inches (+0.15 inch) is not much of a stretch. And the note 2 is 5.5 inches, that half an inch makes a lot of difference diagonally.
[Off-topic] PVL_93_RU:
I hope that at least they'll bring up a fresh new design. Not CTRL+V every phone from S III that Samsung made during last couple of months. Heck, even Galaxy Note 8.0 is just a magnified copy of Galaxy S III. Note 2 suffered the same, as well as Galaxy Express, Galaxy Premiere, ...

[Off-topic] shrome99:
If those are the actual specs, HTC is royally screwed. There has never been such a huge spec gap between flagship devices. Of course, there won't be much difference in actual performance since all 8 cores won't run at once, but I'm pretty sure it will be a huge advertising advantage. With that and the imminent Tegra 4 release, HTC will have no option but to release a new flagship 3 months from now, breaking their promises and ruining their reputation again.

Also, it will have 4.2 (like a new flagship should) whereas the One will probably still be stuck at 4.1. The screen is basically 5 inches and the camera is 13 MP
[Off-topic] enigmaamit:
Heh heh... I see where this is going. Personally I loved the design of the HTC one... but I'm pretty sure it will have another ***** of a bootloader and ****ty closed source software as usual. And despite the ultrapixel gimmick, I'm pretty sure I cannot live with a 4 mp camera, no matter how much light it can capture. The button arrangement is weird, with no centre button at all, no removable battery to remove in case of bootloops... and a smallish battery for a full HD screen. I'm pretty sure Samsung will thrash it without even trying. Well see...

Aren't you forgetting the Xperia Z? Or doesn't it match either of the two? Plus we also have Nexus X incoming from Motorola, that thing has got to be a tech beast
[Off-topic] enigmaamit:
Sony will never be able to match the kind of sales and service Samsung has built over time. The Xperia z had a poor camera and while waterproofing is a good gimmick, somehow Sony has never been able to get a foothold in the smartphone market despite well designed phones. Plus their marketing isn't as strong. Google has already said in its blog that Motorola is still being built up, so don't expect miracles obb that front yet...it is in the works, but not this year at least. Time will tell...

Hello, was pretty busy so I'm replying late. Thanks for all the feedback. I really appreciate it.

I made all the mockups with parts from s3 and note 2 pictures. But I was indeed inspired by the iPhone, since I like it's design and hardware really much. I didn't want to make it look like n4, but as this is my main device, I used a few design elements of it too of course. This is not a revolutionary design, hell, not even really creative. Propably it's just how I want a good android phone to look like, no matter if it's Samsung or whatever printed on it. :)

Not over the moon. Surprisingly, a lot of people I know did bad.

Same. Loads of people in my year did bad, a lot of D, E and U grades across all subjects.

I got an A in Economics and Physics. And a B in Chemistry and Biology.

I've requested for my script back in Biology, and so have a lot of other people as suggested by my teacher. My B was a borderline B/C and I thought it went better than that... :(

For my Chemistry, I'm definitely resitting. I was a mark or two short of an A, and I'm very annoyed because when I came out of the exam I realised I missed a question out completely, I just didn't see it... :(

But I did expect my grade to be honest, as I found that paper quite tricky.

Don't use Samsung based 4.2.2 ROMs yet. No added advantage, just bugs. Wait for something more than a leaked test build to jump ship. 4.1.2 roms are the best so far. As soon as the s4 launches, you'll see stable leaks for the s3... Wait.

Got inspired by this thread and bought the Raspberry Pi, I already had Synology DS112j. I am using it with a wireless adapter(Hama usb adapter that I used for my Samsung TV) but so far I've been getting a lot of buffering (raspbmc and openelec). However I am using an old class 4 microSD + adapter while waiting delivery for a class 10 UHS1 SD and I suspect it has something to do with it, ocassionaly xbmc restarts by itself. Love the xbmc interface though, great functionality, I can control it with the android app or the tv remote via CEC. Lovely gadget, a little pricier than the advertised 35$ , cost me 35 pounds + shipment but still great value.

Was checking for other options to the rPi, and found Artic MC001 fanless barebone model (Intel Atom D525 1.8GHZ,ATI mobility radeon HD 5430, Intel NM10 chipset) for 100$, you need to add your own RAM and HDD. It's a much more powerful alternative to the rPi.

If you only take the look, well, yes (except that they streamlined it a bit at least [less bezel, vertically centered home button, nicer sensor position]), except of that it ships exactly what has been rumoured (except of the single global model, but I guess US carriers need their locked and striped down version to be happy).

They also should stop sueng developers (or force them to put their work down), here is the last case (yes it isn't htc itself, but still a bit suspect that such things only happen at htc devices).

Possible yes i guess, but a f**** hard piece of work as you can see at the sense port for non-sense devices (which is still far from being usable as daily driver, even while it's still on 4.0.4) and samy does at tw much more framework modifications in addition to get the extra features to work i guess.
