Some people just don't care about all that stuff. They just want the thing their friends have, or the phone that everyone has. Ohh the Iphone has 3G, a 3 inch screen, and everytime I plug it up to my computer iTunes freaks out and a million pop ups appear. Yeah it looks great, I'll take 3 of them..... But its their lost. I love my MacBook though. The Lion OSX makes Windows OS look like ****. Well any OS makes Windows OS look like ****. Definitely just went on a 3AM rant.... Well goodnight!

My wife told someone at work she was getting a new phone and someone asked, what are you getting an iPhone. She was like no way, my husband won't let me and says they suck. Then another person who has one was like, no it doesn't everyone has one...
Yup, there you go folks that proves it all! iPhones are awesome because everyone has one! I am glad we got that settled.
Anyway, she got the HTC Rezound for Verizon. Believe it or not the screen is actually pretty beautiful on that thing. That device is what the EVO 3D should have been.
I would also be curious to see how many E4GT's sold just for Sprint.

Sounds like my daily argument with the guys at work. I tell them take your Iphones out and put them all on the table. Ok, let me shuffle them around a little.... Ok guys try and find your phone *jeopardy music playing*
All he has is look how much it has sold and all these people cant be wrong. I tell him do you know the stats on how many stupid people there are in this world....lol
trying to debate with ISheep about their phones is usually nothing more than a giant circle jerk..yeah, its the best because everyone has one...

OK first off I'm not an apple fanboy or any fanboy for that matter I love tech and gadgets. Second it is a sad day for many people like me because I am tied to sprint for life probably mainly because of price and unlimited data. (That's not the sad part). So with that said I am tied to their phones and right now with the current phones and android it is a sad cluster f$%#. ICS is great just on its own but Sammy and HTC don't care. Updates come like whenever, maybe 8 months later to a year maybe never.
All future phones on sprint are a letdown at this point sg3, evo one, galaxy nexus is great but no lte. Android is just a hot mess I don't even know the point of pure Google of only 1 percent actually have it.
Apple is in perfect position because if the iPhone 5 is bigger and beautiful and powerful its a wrap. Once lte is up I can't find any reason to stay with Android or anything other. Google paved the way for apple to crush them because they have no standards. I have used android pretty intensely and its just all over the place. A bigger retina better battery iPhone will be a killer. And who knows what IOS 6 will be.
I know many of you will flame but if you can't understand at least one point then you are blind. I'm not bashing Android I love ics and wish I had it running perfect on my phone.

I don't quite see how android is a mess? Just because Samsung has touchwiz and HTC has Sense? You do realize that both companies do provide updates to their phones right? Yes, I realize the move from Froyo -> Gingerbread -> ICS isn't fast...but that's copmarable to IOS 3 -> 4 -> 5 (which is also about once a year). The minor updates in betweens are generally fixes for things, and a lot have been purely to patch exploits by jailbreakers which further locks the phone down. Officially our phones have recieved 2 updates, and we're waiting on the official 3rd to move to ICS.
The new iPhone will be a hit...because it is an iPhone, simple as that. The bigger size will attract some more people, but seeing how the 4S was a lackluster upgrade and it was Apple's top selling phone, crushing any android phone's sale. This next one will do the same. Personally, and I'm guessing for many on XDA who enjoy modding the crap out of their phones, iPhones aren't really an option...especially the way it is now making jailbreak exploits even harder to come by.

Ics has on screen buttons really not on Sammy and HTC phones.
How many versions of Android are there running now on phones.
Somebody makes a game or app works/tested on some phones not working for many but you can still buy it even though it doesn't work.

I think you're passing judgement on them before giving them a try. Their specs have been released, but you haven't held onto them yet. I don't think the next iPhone will be a mind blower either, it'll probably be similar to the specifications of the EVO LTE or SGSIII.
The SGS2 is definitely my kind of phone, the only thing I'll need is LTE when it comes to my area. We'll see how it goes.

I'm very pleased with my new Galaxy S3!
Little background about me, I've had Apple products for 10+ years and have had all the iPhone models since original release. From iMac's to Airports and iPods.. I have them all. In love apple you might think. But I am no fan boy.
I have tried the Samsung flagship devices every time they release one. I have had a infuse 4g, and galaxy s2 prior to getting the s3. I've always returned them because it was difficult for me to use and for some reason always had rebooting issues.
I was very excited when I saw galaxy s3 information and released date. I got it the day it came out for at&t.
I did lots of research on vanilla android because I just hated touchwiz so much.
I rooted and installed CWM. And finally I ended up with Cyanogenmod. I'm extremely happy. And I actually like using my phone.
Everything my iPhone did is much easier on this and the screen is close to the iPhone 4s which was important.
Anything I don't like, I can change!
Just thought I'd share with everyone and I will be on here a lot!

Hey, welcome to Android & XDA! I remember when I first picked up an Android device, because T-Mobile was literally trying to shove it down my throat for free, and they finally got me to bite by throwing in a $200 credit on top of it because my contract was ending, even though I had no intentions of leaving, lol! I was fascinated by it immediately and over the next two months I had acquired 3 more Android phones! I wish I would've discovered XDA sooner, I was on these other forums, and I kept hearing ppl mentioning XDA and I finally asked if it was a Rom or something? (Oh Boy did I get flamed for that)
The iphone hacking/jail breaking really doesn't compare to the vast amount of potential that a popular Android handset like the GS3 has. So many tweaks, mods, and choices its difficult to decide what you want sometimes? If you run into anything that leaves you at all unsure, then feel free to PM me, and if I can't provide you with a definitive answer then I'll point you to someone that can. Now I don't know if I was behind the curve at all, but it seemed like a lot to soak in at first for me, and I really hated asking what I thought were stupid questions, but it was how I had to learn sometimes. So if you are looking for anything, have any questions, or just want an opinion, I'll always answer Pm's.
Good luck, have fun, and most of all enjoy the community & your new toy!

Welcome to Android and xda (home)! I used an iPhone for awhile from February til the EVO LTE was released. I noticed a few things about the iPhone that lead me back to Android:
1) I got generally bored with it
2) I found the lack of options/settings annoying as I was unable to set certain personal preferences.
3) Organization of settings and preferences is illogical on the iPhone
4) Fake multi-tasking is pointless. If I wanted to have my pictures upload to sugar sync or Box I had to keep the phone open to the app or the upload process would stop until I returned to the app screen.
5) I can get more information faster on my Android phone than the iPhone- this is due to widgets, a more sophisticated notification drawer, and IMO better app integration and organization.
FWIW, I am currently using my 6+ year old VAIO but my next computer will likely be a mac book air and I stopped using an iPod when I started using smart phones.
I just switched from iPhone to android also. Like android a lot it beats ios hands down but iPhone is still on top when it comes to apps and games I wish that would change soon.

I remember when... LOL... I was on my old 8525 and guys were starting to port over android... you couldn't do crap but there were these crazy things called 'widgits'. I did the dual boot, but thought, winMO was here to stay!!!.... :silly:
Google owes the devs here a bunch of love for their work on pushing the OS as far as it has. Compare that to the "evolution" of the iOS - you'll see there's always some exciting new things coming our way. OK, not as polished as the apple apps.. but much more risque...
I can't stand the little bitty iPhone screen.
Same story for me bro. I I have every iPad out there (1,2,3), Mac Book Pro, MacBookAir, 4 iPhones, and Apple TV. I am no Apple fanboi.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
I left iPhone after being with one since its initial release. I stopped at the iPhone 4. If they had come up with something better then the iPhone 4s, I probably would've stayed but I got tired of Apple always releasing outdated stuff (small screen, no 4g, slow processor, etc)
Since the 4, I had the Dell Streak 5 , HTC Inspire, Samsung Galaxy Tab (hacked to use as cell phone), Samsung Galaxy S II, and now the S III.
The main reason I am with Android is because of this forum, I love being able to change anything on my phone that needs changing, and the tons of roms that I can change to if I get bored of one.

That behemoth of a device.....I just got my gs3 and wondering when the note2 will reach at&t lol.
So i been a android user and for almost two years, my first phone was the Samsung moment on Sprint, rooted the phone still suck! Got me an evo 4g and was the best phone I ever had (came from bb and iPhone), alot people got to know the evo, but some people still asked me "is the a Droid?" verizon marketing did a lot for Android, move forward a few years anyone knows and iPhone or android, but no phone is famous at all, or at least that's what I thought, now I had my gs3 since launch day, and just in this past weeks, 5 people been able to recognize it, from walmart store, to grocery store and gas station (specially when you pay with nfc), so it looks like the galaxy s III brand is recognized and Samsung did a good job by putting the same phone on all carriers, makes me wonder has anyone else recognized your phone? And I'm not talking about tech people, just regular consumers?

Why do most people just call it "droid" or "android"? It sounds really silly if you ask me and it's all because of verizon's marketing.

90% of apple owners don't wanna hear about android. People buy iphones just because its an iPhone. Its like shoes, people buy nikes because they are nikes if you get a Nike and put the sketchers logo on it, no ones going to want it. Truth is gs3 kicks the iPhones asssss. I think the gs2 kicked the iPhones ass.

Thank me if I helped
For years I was a huge Nokia N series fan and bought euro unlocked phones with symbian, so I have always gotten the ”what kind of phone is that?" question... Around the time the original tmobile mytouch I switch to android and haven't looked back since. Bought a gs3 about 2 weeks ago and for the first time it's not "what phone is that" but "how do like that phone... I want one real bad". Personally I love tmo and love my gs3. Now iphone I have never liked but I get why it's huge... Great for what most people do with their phone but iphone may have been out played by the gs3 and could lose a healthy share of their market. Just my 2¢ though...

I got a new red s3 a few days ago and other than not being able to check for ot updates, I really like it. However, I have one big concern that has me wondering if maybe I should swap it out for a One X ($79.88 at wal mart). If Apple ends up winning the court case against Samsung, what will happen as far as future updates/upgrades/support? If Apple wins, apparently th s3 will be banned from future sales. And since they have already taken the local search function away, what other features are we likely to lose just to appease Apple?
Samsung and Apple will battle in court for the foreseeable future. The sgiii isn't going to get barred from being sold, at least not for any significant amount of time.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
I got mine
Apple already put a stop to sales of one of Samsung's tablets. The s3 is next on their list. But I already have one so that part doesn't concern me. What does concern me is support for the s3 if Samsung is banned from selling it. It is hard to imagine them supporting a product that they can't sell. Plus, if the software is also banned (local search), will they even be able to support it if they want to?
Umm they really don't have anything to go after the SGS3 for. It is not rectangular, it does not have uniform corners, and TouchWiz does not look like iOS, so what could the possible ban it for?
I know
I feel the same way. But you know how it is. I couldn't believe that Samsung took away the local search but they did. Apparently, pretty much everything from the icons to the touch screen is copied from Apple. But the s3 with its physical home button is the first Android powered phone to outsell the iPhone. Therefore it must go. Like I said, Apple got the Nexus tablet banned because it was too much like the iPad. I just don't want to be stuck with a phone that is constantly being stripped down bit by bit or completely removed from the market and nit supported at all. It's funny, though. The Apple TV sure looks like a Samsung to me. I wonder if Samsung will sue Apple?

You are on xda, you shouldnt worry about that. Devs here will do everything to add features back. atleast the common sense ones.
Even if something as far-fetched as banning the S3 does occur, I doubt that they would simply just stop supporting a device that sold over 10 million units.

I mean really, Apple does not have nothing to stop the SGS3. The phone was designed to avoid being stopped by Apple. and even then, if they try to stop it via software, they cant, because all it takes is a software patch. hence the Galaxy Nexus.
When it comes down to it, Apple is scared. Android is light years better and they know it. They know that Google made an OS to rival theirs and did it better. So, if you can't beat the competition, then sue (sp.) their butt off! Apple will ALWAYS be a fanboy market...meaning all the die-hard robots that will do/buy whatever Apple tells them too. Meanwhile, Google will keep innovating and making their mobile OS truely the best on the market today.
ahh the beauty of living in canada us patents dont apply here! yippee! never have to worry about any of these stupid lawsuits. :good:
though even if they win, they cant really touch the sgs iii, apple is mainly targeting older samsung phones which imo did blatantly copy apple (talking about like the galaxy s originaly) , they have changed a lot since those days. id be surprised if they had any dirt on the siii.
They are scared of Samsung itself. They know that Samsung copied the iPhone, and lets be honest here, they copied the dam iPhone, but they produced a product a million times better than the iPhone.
Samsung has some great technology, which is why its one of Apple's "Key Partners". I have owned three Samsung devices in the last year and they all were really good. Samsung has what it takes, but it is being limited by Apple. Why do you think the SGS3 is so ugly looking? To avoid Apple and its lawsuits.

Looks better than the HTC X and the iPhone itself.
Apple deserves to win this case. Look at the points and cases they are bringing up against the Galaxy S 1. The UI was completely ripped off of them. In addition, Samsung's lawyers are a bunch of jackasses in court (read the Verge if you dont know what Im talking about). Now... some of the new patents Apple is getting are utter bull****. I was pissed when they tried to ban the GNex because of the search patent .

Guys you cant ban something that already has tens of millions in the wild. Apple is definitely worried, because Steve only left them so much on his notes he kept and the iphone train is going to run out of steam after the next 2 iphones you mark my words, that is all he left them.
Buy another phone if you want, nothing in life is certain, but I would not worry one minute and use the phone you want now. Its already the best thing out there as is, once JB rolls out its a done deal. They have a removable battery and SD slot, doesnt sound like an iphone clone to me...And who cares if they ban the S1, its a totally different phone and old as hell to boot, it aint gonna happen. They must stop it before its released or it just doesnt work.

Apple already put a stop to sales of one of Samsung's tablets. The s3 is next on their list. But I already have one so that part doesn't concern me. What does concern me is support for the s3 if Samsung is banned from selling it. It is hard to imagine them supporting a product that they can't sell. Plus, if the software is also banned (local search), will they even be able to support it if they want to?

Why do you need support from Samsung? Just root and install custom roms, my old HTC Hero on Telus took over a year to get an update from 1.6 to eclair, but by then I was already running a custom rom.
I didn't mean to start an apple vs Samsung vs one x discussion. Honestly, I am amazed at how far mobile phones have come since I got my first Motorola Star Tac when I was in the military. I am just concerned about the future of my s3 in the event that apple wins in court. That said, I can see where apple is coming from. However, without competition from other manufacturers, there will be very few more advancements in the industry. Especially if every time someone produces a product that may or may not be better than apple, apple sues that company into submission. Imagine how it would be if car companies did the same thing. Or even something as simple as clothes detergent. My concern is not whether or not Samsung "will" support the s3 but whether not they will be able to due to restrictions placed on them by the courts that may prevent them from having the ability to support and improve on the s3
