This doesn't explain how android dominate in other country than us.

World best ufc champion can not win a fight against 5 people. Even kindergartners can figure that out.

Btw apple is not worlds best champion in any way. Just used that analogy to prove a point.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mtelep:
Exactly - the news posted in the first post mean... nothing or at least nothing good for Android-based smartphones, because Apple holds 1/3 of the market whilst 2/3 belongs to the number of other brands.

This is the reason they had the best revenue ever.

Anyway I can't understand one thing. Why people still want to pay huge amount of money for Apple devices (average price of iPhone 4 16GB is 1.3-1.5 times higher than SGS 16GB).

I know that owning a device with beaten apple logo makes people dignified, maybe that's it...

I am an open adversary of Apple because of their policies - as far as I can remember you need a MacOS-family system to develop applications for iOS.

Android apps may be developed under any OS.

Correct me if I am wrong.

To square up I would hardcode a 'feature' for the Eclipse ADT plugin to make it not working with MacOS versions of Eclipse :D

Sincerely,

Android Dev ;)

other than US, which country android has domination ? at least not here in my country as i see all are fruits around. many still do not know what android is.

Sweet! :D but it was inevitable to begin with...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TNStrangelove:
Apple is the first and only company to use marketing to portray their products as "trendy or cool":rolleyes:

Also a lot of people buy apple products because many of them buy Apple products because *gasp* they like the products, the iPhone 4 is a very good product, the antenna issue is not as big a deal as some people want it to be.

The sound quality of an nano is more than good enough for most people, most people can't (and don't want to) tell the difference between two different mp3 players. Their quality control when it comes to interface has been way higher than android (though android is catching up).

Despite what android fan-boys want to believe they have been an incredibly innovative company over the last few years and the high controls they have over their products does have it's advantages (disadvantages as well of course).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
nothing to do with that really.

it's just sad to see all your family and friends want to buy an iphone just because it's an iphone

it's like you see your friends being brainwashed and you can't do crap about it, to stop them from being sheeps taken to the cull

many times i ask my customers or friends "why do you need to buy an iphone?"

the typical answer is "i don't know, it's cool" .... :rolleyes:

then another relevant question to bring out the light

"what are you going to do with the iphone" typical answer "duh, what do you use a phone for? make phone calls, and listen to music"

then i go "that's my point, any phone can do that now in days, why does it needs to be an iphone?" ... their answer again "i dunno" :eek: :rolleyes:

i give that to apple, they have a very good marketing team, that knows how to brainwash people without them even knowing it... sigh... -_-
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ca7846:
Thanks for your reply. You have just confirmed my argument about apple's distortion by being a prime example.

How a phone is good quality if it can't make call? What is the PHONE? What you are saying is that "hey that car got a good design both exterior and interior, nice wheels, spacious room. It's a good quality even though it can't run." Yes it might not happen to everybody. However, would you purchase that car if you had the prior knowledge that the car have a chance that it might not run? You did for iphone...

This is apple's distortion. They are good at interface and some cool features, I admit that. Users are clouded by these features, and design so they start not to care about what's really important. The phone has to be able to make a phone call. A phone having a slight chance of not able to make a phone call is simply unacceptable. Just as car with malfunctioning engine is not acceptable.

I have other arguments about nano and extensive advertisement, but they are irrelevant to this forum so I will stop here.

BTW I am not an android fan boy. I am just anti-apple. I am using android because I am not distorted by apple.

* i absolutely despise iphones with a passion, the only apple product i currently hold is an ipod nano. I bought it because of formfactor (slim) specifications. Which is also the reason i bought the SGS, cause there both slim.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] t1mman:
Well, it surely is good to see people not blinded by the fruit!

I too despise the iDevice with a passion, but the main reason I like that Android outsells iPhone is because it will bring more apps, more developpers, more choice, more for us!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mike.sw:
and this is not a brainwash?

i often ask people why they want android... you know the answers right?

1) it's not apple

2) it's "open"

LOL.

of-course android is outselling ios.

apple never try to dominate the market.

apple does make some good things and all this smartphone touchscreen market is pretty much invented by apple.

Hey guys, I know there are many topics about "lagging" SGS. But I wanna show you these videos made by me. It's a comparison of my SGS to my sister's X10. I made these, because I can accept minor UI lag from time to time, I can accept non-instant apps opening, but what I cannot accept is why installing application via market took 10+ times longer on my SGS in compare to X10. Mail application - K9 is not usable. I just cannot wait several minutes to download 25 mails. Opening messages is a pain. Open the 4MB .ppt from attachment took like 5 minutes or more WTF. On the videos below I was connected to wifi. Everything is much worse while using mobile data, no matter what is the connection speed (which is pretty fast here).

Market

K9 Mail

Everything works fine and fast on my sister's X10 with 1.6 android. I am using stock 2.1 with no lagfix or tweaking. What I want to know - if this is that "lagging" which is this forum full of.

What about 2.2 users? Is it better on newest official ROM? Or is the lagfix only way to fix this? Is the lagfix capable of repair this at all?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chrisjwild:
Brilliant videos to show how bad the lag is!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Davith:
Wow, I'm amazed by how fast app installation is on the X10.

It shows how much the SGS's hardware was wasted by Samsung's inability to provide a decent firmware. A shame.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chase_bennett:
Nice video. You are making me regret buying a SGS :P I would have preferred not to know how good the other phones are.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xZeDgEx:
Goes to show how samsungs incompetence has hampered this phone..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] t1mman:
First and foremost, this so called "lag" is totaly related to writing media on the memory. As stated on another post, the main issue with SGS is that instead of using an internal flash drive, wich is faster but can't hold much data, Samsung went for more space. For the device to be as fast as others, they would need to put a flash, like 512Mb, to hold the OS and the system itself.

Combiened with that is the RFS file system, wich is "safer", long term speaking, for memory. I don't know what is "long term (5 years? 10 years?) but it is overpassed by the lagfixes (transforming the partitions to Ext#)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] EarlZ:
Im amazed at the difference on the market, I never thought the SGS is THIS slow!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nicoloco:
That's the video I wanted to do for such a long time !!

But now that I see how it could be fast on an other phone I just want to get rid of mine !!

I have the OCLF installed ( first on 2.1 and now on JP6 2.2) and after few weeks I still have the same kind of lag ( long time to open mail and long time to install app ...)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mostrapotski:
Hello all,

I just S-OFFed my desire, and installed a rom (cyanogenmod 6.1.0-RC1).

I asked to phone to reboot in recovery, i don't even remember why, and now, i have no "blue" recovery.

Usually, i start the phone holding back button, when the /!\ show up, i press volume down + power, to get a "blue recovery" then i ask to apply sdcard:update.zip to get the green recovery.

Actually, i don't have any blue recovery, i can't do anything, i don't know why and and i don't know what to do the get my desire working again (right now, the rom really does not matter !)

Fastboot usb is working, but i can't find an up to date post that help me restoring the blue recovery ...

I appreciate any advice, thank you

EDIT: after few hours of research, answering myself, used

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img to get a recovery working again.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayzusfk:
Horizontally-oriented images are trickier for good wallpapers. And the low resolution makes it difficult to get a good clear wp out of as well.

The best way would be to look around for a hi-res scan of that photo from the magazine, assuming you don't have a copy yourself. You can often find good quality scans on different photo- or celebrity forums, though you may have to register on a few.

The not-as-good way would be to just enlarge the photo in PS or something. There are filters that do a pretty good job but you may wanna play around with some softening filters to make it look better. IMO really sharp images don't work well as backgrounds as the icons should be the biggest focus, but I'm a fan of rather minimalistic themes.

Regarding your particular image, I would either crop her above the knees (and possibly part of her forehead), to make the most of body-to-background ratio, or maybe expand the sides of the image a bit if you want to include all of your "model". The cheap-and-dirty way would to just throw black bars on the sides but that looks like crap.

So yeah, play with enlarging the photo to the width (960), making sure it's as non-pixelated as possible, then worry about the height (800). If you're struggling I'll try messing with it myself.

for those who need to return your hd2 for exchange or service and cant get the second boot screen to change back to stock I've created a file that will restore it back to the original:

HSPL REQUIRED! (not tested without it dont blame me if something happens)

format your sdcard, place this file on it, reboot with volume key down and power button pressed.

now your phone should have the same t-mobile stick together screen before the boot animation

note that this does not modify the first screen and animation splash screens. those should be restored with flashing the stock rom.

here is what i would to to totally restore your phone:

1) flash this file

2) flash stock tmobile us rom from sd card to restore spl and other boot screens.

THE ALPHA IS RELEASED! http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=9427400#post9427400

Hey guys. Long time since I posted on XDA haha.

Well I just wanted to inform all of you waiting for Unleashed 3.0 that it is coming along nicely. I was able to boot AOSP, with a decent amount of bugs that I am going to work on and cvpcs is working on with his Obsidian build(we are not working together), but if he finds fixes they go into my rom and if I find them they go into his. Another thing is that this couldn't have been done without slayher's help, helping me to get the vendor setup working.

Current bugs:

Phone reboots when you lock and then press the unlock button

Alt lock does nothing

Capacitive button feedback is very weak, meaning you can barely feel it vibrating.

Ill edit when each is fixed...

Fixed bugs:

USB is WORKING - *USB is now fully working thanks to slayher. Working 100%. USB Mass Storage and USB Debugging work. Now I can run ADB logcat and try to solve some other issues.*

Sound works, in phone too. *SOUND IS WORKING 100%. Thanks Blackdroid for the idea!*

I am not going to release this yet until I fix the lockscreen reboot.

Follow me on Twitter

Also another thing, people will ask me how this is different from Fission. Fission is not AOSP. It is based off the sdk image released by Motorola. Fission still uses the Motorola framework, it is just a vanilla rom. This rom is a full stock AOSP rom with the stock framework(with two Motorola jar files that are needed) and the stock sliders. This has no ties with blur in any way.

For all the people who wants Quadrants, this is the highest I have gotten. I range anywhere from 1800 to 2167. I usually don't care about Quadrant scores but you all do haha.

Here is a updated pic showing off some mods you can use and USB working. Took with ddms :)

Sitting here chillin' and listening to Linkin Park with working sound!

Here is the rotary lock screen and lock screen music controls.(I have it set to always show and I took the pic right after boot because it still reboots on lock)
