Am I alone here? IPHONE FORUMS - About xda-developers.com

Why is there a special banner/button for the IPHONE above... If purely a sister site, can we have a sister site for ANDROID and a sister site for M$FT?
With the new ads, and this... is XDA doing okay? Want to donate to XDA, check here.
Are there plans for this to be removed once it's up and running on its own?
I know it should not bother me, but coming to this site everyday to post about Android, its ANNOYING to see IPHONE

I don't support Apple and think iPhones are retarded but I haven't quite sunk to getting pissed at seeing the name on my screen. Not quite like they are Nazi Germany or something.

Ha... yeah, the hate runs deep in me. If only XDA could satisfy everyone (j/k).

lol wtf...
get over it, its just a link to a sister site. you arent the only person on this board, in the hobby of tinkering with smartphones. Learn to accept other peoples tastes as well.

^ you posted immediately after this, you realize there is sarcasm right?

Mmm, no offense but..... get over yourself?
The button is there so that iPhone people know exactly where to go to post about their phone (iPhone users aren't always the most technically inclined people in the world).
There's a lot to dislike about the company's practices, but you cannot deny that they put out a pretty good product and that they have spurred a *lot* of competition and innovation in mobile computing over the last decade.
I will never own an apple device, but there's no reason to go out of your way to hate a company that isn't doing you any harm.

I agree with You S15274N I had 3 I-Phones I could not stand the fact I pay for the phone and they control my technology like I am a baby. That, along with the Totalitarian marketing behavior "oh you want to add some new anything ? ...... 1.99 each plz"............Besides, the Apple followers are like Religious Zealots "Apple is my God....take my money"..... In my area we all call it "chic" phone you want something you can do nothing to but has a couple cute features.........oooohhhh then this phone is for you.
But, even it's a sister site it really rubs me the wrong way..........I just never expressed myself.... until now ........... THANKS !!!

Yeah... I'm not saying I blame XDA or anything... just stating that I really hate the ONE site I spend my time on to express my passion for android, now has big IPHONE button at the top of it....
And I am kinda laughing at myself about how much that bothers me, I know it shouldn't.
Not sure some of you realize what I'm TRYING to say.

As for hating the button...really? It's a phone. Not that big of a deal, dude. Just ignore it.
Wasting energy on something so trivial!

I agree with s15274n..
iPhones are the most expensive,useless, fragile phones ever.... they suck so bad....the Galaxy S phones are so much stronger and cheaper....hell the Evo has twice the power for about half the price ...
Meanwhile the iPhone is $800 and breaks as soon as it bumps against something .... jailbreaking is like a dice roll every time an update is released ... its a big waste of money like the iPad in my opinion

I miss my iPhone. I want a new one so I can run all my iApps that I spent tons of money on when I had my iPhone.

i hate the iphone, and im not a big apple fan in general......but i honestly could care less about this particular issue. it doesnt get in my way. XDA brings us this wonderful forum, and as the creators....they can set it up however the hell they want. they dont owe ANY of us anything.

s15274n...you're not alone here. I feel the same way and appreciate your sarcasm. I look at it more like a humerous thing...that iPhone users need to be "led" to the proper place...I'm just supprised the button isn't bigger with a logo or something! I also apprecate the fact that that it's there, otherwise we might have all the "I" users posting all over the boards looking for stuff.

iPhone Killer?....Really?...People still say that?

Ok,
So I was having a "civil" conversation with a resident Apple Fanboy at work about how Google Now beats Siri on a basic head to head test, which he proceded to repsond, "And? Its still no iPhone killer." Now letting you know how that debate is pointless, especially if you have actually argued with a Apple fnaboy. Its truly a waist of time. However my point or my soap box is, this how "iphone killer" thing is irrelevant.
Even with jelly bean and ICS out you still have folks who will say how the Nexus out shines the new iPhone in almost every aspect but then....bam..."but its no iPhone killer"
What is an "iPhone killer?" Because based on my experience the statement should be, "yeah the iPhone is nice pretty and built well, but its no, Android killer" Anyway just a random rant.

Apple Granted UI Patent That Could Spell Big Trouble for Competitors

Apple on Tuesday was awarded what is being considered as “the mother of all smartphone software patents,” according Phandroid’s Kevin Krause. Considering Apple’s recent track record, the company may be preparing to bring down a legal hail storm against Google’s Android. “The effects could be swift and lethal,” Krause admitted.
Of particular interest, patent number 8,223,134, which covers “Portable electronic device, method, and graphical user interface for displaying electronic lists and documents,” could be Apple’s biggest weapon. Basically, it covers user interfaces for smartphone email, telephone, camera, video player, browser, widgets, search, notes, maps and a multitouch interface. That’s a list of features in every competing smartphone OS.
PatentlyApple said, “Apple reinvented the smartphone, and today they get another patent victory to celebrate that fact… Apple’s iPhone truly reinvented the smartphone and Apple’s granted patent reflects the broad range of graphical user interface innovations that they brought to market.”
Apple has been steadfast in its quest to squash any competition it deems has stolen from the Cupertino-company. Over the past several months, Apple has been embroiled in a number of lawsuits around the globe, the most recent of which dealing with the Galaxy Nexus.
The granting of such a broad patent could have far reaching consequences on the marketplace, and potentially stifle any major future software advancements, which is ultimately bad for consumers.

Hahahaha I read this to, the question would be weather Apple decides to fight and get some sort of an injunction. I do think if these suits start getting out of control, it might backfire on Apple, but we will see. I mean, seriously, people didn't by Android because of a disappearing scroll bar, just like people didn't buy Android over Apple because of unified search.
Just a matter of time until all these apple patents get recognized as industry standards

Google will change to a different scrollbar. I doubt it will ever matter. This doesn't mean the death of Google.
I can think of several ways around it, and they don't require an ugly persistent scrollbar either.
One being, no scrollbar at all. Haven't we moved past the need for those on mobile devices?

But I guess with this new patent they gonna affect even Microsoft and windows 8 phones.. And this its where I don't know if apple's legal department its crowded with retards.. Because I am sure that messing with Microsoft never its a good option.. They can smack apple down to the hell any day

Half of the stuff Apple has patented was invented by someone else (rectangle shape). It's pure abuse to the patent system.
apple won because intelligence is overrated.
Apple won because it was then their back yard. Case should of been moved to another state at the very least.
Plus a better chance it'll be overturned on appeal. Multiple parts of the case can be brought up to try and overturned it.
I think the fact the jury came to this decision in 3 days despite the amount on evidence they had the duty to go through is suspicious enough.
Seems the jury wanted to just say this so they can leave type of deal.

"We're coming from a pure power source"
Honestly, Samsung is guilty as charged. They need to stop spending money and time in trying to build ****ty proprietary apps that resemble iOS apps and sell their devices as Nexus devices. Clean Android. Nobody chooses a Samsung phone over an HTC phone because of the ROM and apps. It ALWAYS comes down to hardware.
Apple isn't completely innocent from copying others work. They just took advantage of the current patent laws. Thomas Edison pulled the same crap.
"We're coming from a pure power source"
Pretty much everything apple has ever made software wise is just a "simpler more user friendly" rippoff. That's what apples whole sales pitch is! These lawsuits are just a perfect waste of the court system IMO. Also these idiot judges that side with them are breaking the law by attempting to create a monopoly.

I like Touchwiz apps. I don't like the launcher but that's just personal opinion. I don't particularly like the Nexus either. For me it IS a combination of the software and the hardware.
The fact that they stated that the SGS series and the iPhone were similar and that the Galaxy Tab and the iPad aren't shows that the jury lacked the competence to make an informed decision. The tablets are far more similar than any of the phones. Also the fact that they disregarded concept sketches to "save time" shows that this who lawsuit was mishandled. This shouldn't have come down to a jury.

Samsung vs Apple lawsuit repercussions

I don't want to be negative because I love my android especially my s3 but anyone know how loosing that case in court to apple is going to affect us and our s3's? One of my friends said oh just wait a few weeks and demand an iPhone 5 from your carrier. I really don't want to do that as I abhore apple products. I despise the proprietary nature of the iPhones and how inflexible they are. No expanding memory.. no ability to tweak them ...just so very utilitarian and unmanageable... so if anyone knows how this loss to Samsung will affect us I'd love to hear opinions and thoughts... thanks.!
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
It could would to samsung, because more people are finding out how samsung makes apple's processors, etc. In fact, that essentially in the guts, hardware wise, similar products, though the apple is like 3x more, and samsung has a better quality and price.
This ban could be temporary; the nexus was banned, but if you check the play store, its back to being sold; it has for some time now.
So in the end, will really just have to watch as it plays out. This could be 'htc move' for apple; where people were unhappy with them because of them going back on their bootloader word. This could drive more people to samsung.
Really why make another one of these threads when a few already exist..... And last I read nothing is banned as of yet.that hearing is set for sometime in Dec. And on top of that the GS3 is not one of the phones Apple is going after. Most of the galaxy s2 variants and a couple galaxy s1 are the ones being questioned.

SAMSUNG Court Case
Well, all I have to say is...if the developers keep turning out stuff like this latest nightly, 08/31 CM10, Apple is going to sue them.
I was floored by the performance boost in the GUI and how I finally have a phone with no personal complaints I can cite.
CPU runs all the code I write fast enough for what I need, and the wireless N support doesn't suck.
On top of that, the radio on the unit works very well for voice calls, far better than my EVO does.
(My poor EVO has been relegated to displaying Weather, playing MP3's and movies as a gift to my sister.)
As for the lawsuit, I would like to remind everyone no money has changed hands yet. There is an appeal process. There _will_ be an appeal process because lawyers don't like to turn down that much cash, I can assure you.
Secondly, the last time LINUX was threatened, was SCO. A grass roots effort over a 5 year period, reduced the company to a rubble pile. Geeks like myself, have HUGE bearing on our friends and our families on what they should buy. Even the small number of geeks at the time working in the open source industry.
Now, it is an entirely different story. Open source runs the modern world now.
If Apple gets out of line, and starts shutting down product lines of companies for what could be argued as the most ridiculous legal proceedings ever, since the SCO case, we will mobilize.
We will mobilize our friends, our families, our places of work and like SCO, Apple will feel our wrath and it will wither and die as a company.
Many like myself feel this way because we understand how technology and science works, and it works by building on previous inventions.
_ALL_ companies build on previous products and technology. Apple is no exception.
If SAMSUNG copied the parts and software I could see legal validation for retribution. But the products displayed in the courtroom in this particular instance have little technological, software or GUI likeness if at all to any Apple product.
Secondly, the jury was stacked by Silicone Valley idiots, which has already been shown to have complete bias towards Apple, regardless of their beliefs of right or wrong in the said legal case against SAMSUNG.

I don't want to be negative because I love my android especially my s3 but anyone know how loosing that case in court to apple is going to affect us and our s3's? One of my friends said oh just wait a few weeks and demand an iPhone 5 from your carrier. I really don't want to do that as I abhore apple products. I despise the proprietary nature of the iPhones and how inflexible they are. No expanding memory.. no ability to tweak them ...just so very utilitarian and unmanageable... so if anyone knows how this loss to Samsung will affect us I'd love to hear opinions and thoughts... thanks.!

any chance the mods can loosen up a little bit

I see alot of theads being closed constantly, kinda hampers freedom of speach. Please dont ban me, I just think you guys need to step back and take a breather sometimes before jumping on the close button.
All this time could be put into making my LIVE wallpaper switching program, I have money and google. But I would rather pay than google how to script that out.
Most of the thread being closed have dedicated threads in the stickies sections.
Why waste space and time? I mean I think you could go through and count the number of Apple vs. Samsung threads that have been closed, you'd need more then 2 hands. Same with LTE 4G.

umm..1st ..huh????
and 2nd...these boards are hugeeeeee...no need to waste bandwidth because someone asks a question that is answered in the thread directly below the new 1 they just made....
Personally I like that they lock them and have them consolidated as a sticky rather than seeing the same thread fifty times in a row

Pretty sure the people who are complaining about LTE and getting raged at everything Apple vs Samsung are the ones that need to step back and take a breather.

The thank button is there intended to show appreciation for actually helping someone with a problem / offering sound advice. even if someone says someone otherwise and it had value for some reason or other to a person,t hey can show it.
I was getting a hand-job off my new girlfriend when I asked, "How are you so good at this?" "Years of practice," she said. "Bit of a player in your day?" I laughed. "No," she replied, "my dad had no arms."

Yes, some moderators can come off as arrogant. I can see their frustration as the threads get bogged down with the same questions over and over again. Although, they need to accept their position as moderator and not allow their frustrations to spew onto others. Lesson... Read, read, read... Your question has been answered 99% of the time. Especially in development threads. The same question asked repeatedly can slow down development, because instead of working on improving the device, they have to answer the same questions 50 times.

Know them, follow them. They are in place for good reasons and frankly, IMO i think most forums could be moderated much heavier. The fact is, 4 million users cannot all be moderated so we just appreciate the work we get from our mods, regardless.

I wrote '****' on my son's forehead while he was sleeping the night before his birthday.
We couldn't afford the iPad he wanted, but he'll still enjoy the feeling of owning one.

Is it just me or is K perry a dog. I guess the appeal is shes just ugly enough men think they got a shot at her, which makes her more attractive in their minds? Id rather get hep from Pam Anderson any day of the week.

I like katy for her music
Like Omggzz its soo awesome
And her lyrics are AAAmazing
"do you ever feel like a plastic bag, drifting through the wind, wanting to start again.
do you ever feel, feel so paper thin, like a house of cards, one blow from caving in."
Like totally.
They're merely pushing all the talk/threads to the apple vs Samsung hub thread. Would you rather have that, or an ocean of apple vs Samsung threads flooding the first two pages
