But in all seriousness, I just changed my wife from a Mac addict to an Android lover. She saw my Note2, but couldn't handle the size. (ba dum bump) But she insisted I get her the SGS3. She's in love. Every damn day now it's "omg! I didn't know it could do this!", "did you know there was an app for that!! and a widget! I <3 widgets!!"

Too funny. I grabbed her the Tmo slider G1. No data on that or the MTouch 3G. Finally after years, she's on sprint with data. She's so cute how excited she is to have a baller phone AND data service.

The funny thing is, that this phone was already a beast without root. I'm not dissing apple cause it's a great phone but my thing is, there are so many more options.

I had a friend who was Iphone 5 all the way. He even ran his mouth how dumb of a decision it was. untill i bought it and he couldnt keep his hands off.
its interesting to see how attractive the GN2 is once all the people who down it change once the have it in their hands.
OP root it while she sleeps.
My girl has iphone4 and says she has no special loyalty to Apple so I had her play with my note 2 a bit. The size is way too big for her hands, comical really, but that's no problem there are other great phones.
You know what it came down to? Bejeweled Blitz.
She plays that game constantly and there is no equivalent in the android market.
There are several bejeweled clones and one real bejeweled2 from EA, but it turns out they all suck.
The apple version is perfectly responsive. Every time you touch anything it reacts immediately no matter what else is going on elsewhere on the screen at the same time. But on my phone it won't even register trying to swipe new jewels until the explosion animations from the last move are all done playong out. This is on a note2 that's even somewhat debloated because I deleted all the services and junk for weather, stocks, social integration, allshare, sysscope, smart device manager and touchwiz. There can't possibly be a cpu issue. And this was the real game from EA/PopCap not the small indipendents.
I never play any games so I would never have noticed this. But just watching her try to play a simple game on the supposedly highest end badest badassest uber phone was pretty embarassing.
She actually said it's not necessarily a deal breaker but I believe in quality of life. If that's what she likes and Android can't provide it then that's all there is to it. Guess she gets an iphone 5 even though she lives with an Apple hating unix sys admin.
I actually blame Apple more than Android or the game developers. Apple forces developers to choose only one platform to invest their limited resources by blocking use of cross platform tools, and few developers can really afford to support multiple platforms the hard way without cross platform tools.

There's nothing wrong with Apple products. They cost more and it's a closed box but it if you download something from the App Store, it works. No force close, no lag, nothing to complain about. The tablet apps are actually designed for tablets and for the most part they get updated with every iteration of iOS.
I love my Note and the Galaxy S2, Thunderbolt and Fascinate that came before it but I've never once got pissed off at an iPhone because the lock screen wouldn't come on without lag or the gallery froze the phone. The gallery in MA7 makes me want to punch a baby in the face.

Actually apps on her phone crash all the time. Depends on the app. We both use a unique app called guidebook. The android version works fine for me on both my ltevo with gb and the note2 with jb, but it crashes constantly on her ip4.
And half of her apps are old because they now require ios5 or later. She's on ios4 so she can't update any of those any more. And she doesn't want to update ios because she has good google maps right now.
The closed nature and vendor lock in and nanny app blocking ultimately causes more problems than it solves. It's ultimately a self-defeating dead end. It's only good for one thing, making a few people money right now. It's bad for both users and developers.

Lol apple has force closes they just dont tell their sheep cuz the assume they are dumb enough if a dialog doesn't show they'll just assume they caused the app to disappear . Theres nothing about apple at all appealing. They steal peoples opensource work close it up rush to grab a baseless patent and then sue the original creators into submission, its pathetic and their business practices are akin to that of organized crime, disgusting really.

Then quit being hypocritical- acting like using Android makes you a saint vs. Apple is a joke, plain and simple.
The fact of the matter is current patent law in America is disgusting. Can you blame Apple for exploiting what is terrible law? Absolutely not. Same argument a majority of the people are making against the rich and the current tax code.
Fact of the matter is a majority, if not all, people here are making an argument based solely on emotion. To state it in terms more complex than "Android v. Apple" is, at best, false.
Give it a rest.

Well most companies don't buy themselves frivolous patents and then use them to sue their competitors into submission. They usually work harder and pay people who have the skills to put them ahead instead of trying to cheat their way to the top. there's a difference between companies cutting costs by outsourcing work and companies cutting costs by stealing the work.

Google doesn't bow down. Android is open...simple answer, I know.
They are free to do whatever the hell they want. The only time Google is even allowed to have a say is when it comes to Google Apps. Sure, they could tighten restrictions on what it takes to be qualified to get Google Apps, but, that's starting to looked like a less open and more closed garden...if you will.
Google isn't Jesus, by any stretch...but, in the modern IT/OS/API/Platform/etc/etc/etc world they are by far the most open and agreeable of all the big players. This is one of the unfortunate side effects....or fortunate depending on how you look at it. They allow a manufacturer/reseller to make the OS "their own", encouraging them to release Android devices. That's good....however they also allow a manufacturer/reseller to make the OS "their own", encouraging "fragmentation" and update issues.
I prefer it to the alternative. An authoritarian leadership model that dictates what can and can't be.
...and remember, these manufacturers/resellers are TOTALLY FREE to put out whatever the hell they--or YOU--want.....but if it doesn't meet Google's very livable requirements it doesn't qualify for Google Apps.

Very true we are spoiled because of this and other forums bring us together but the hacking community is very small we are the 1% I have talked 10 of my friends to trade in their iPhones for android devices and now I handle everything for their phones. 3 have started to pick up on things but the others are lost and just suggest colors for things I get to it when I can and try to keep them up to date lol but yea point made I hope.

No because Google borked Ics since launch. Could of had more devices and advertising pure Google. They had plenty of great ads in YouTube never saw them on TV. Then letting Verizon having it exclusive was a real good move.
Can you think of any other software that comes out and doesn't get used for months or even a year. What is really the point of the update if nobody gets it. If you think Google handled this well something is wrong with you.

if all the android device makers would just use what Google gives them, ICS would be everywhere. But they all need to add their own overlays like Sense, touchwiz, etc. That's what causes the delays, most times. look at all the Chinese tablets out since January with vanilla ICS, other manufacturers could do the same.
Not to mention crap like trying to code for the 3D camera on the EVO3D. That is apparently a ***** to do.

Why would it make you sad?
ICS isn't a living being that should be mourned when forgotten.
Jelly Bean is going to be better than ICS, otherwise why would you call it an upgrade?
Tech moves fast. The manufacturers take their time and put their overlays on their devices to give them a different feel so when someone purchases one, they don't feel like they have the same device as everyone else.

Google doesn't 'bow down' to manufacturers. Android doesn't belong to google, it belongs to the open handset alliance. It's merely backed by google since they are a leading member of the open handset alliance.
They don't bow down to them, if they did; why would there be requirements for a device to be able to be pre installed with Google's apps?
Do they need them? Well, Without manufacturers, you can't make a device.
I like android because of the choice I have in devices, Not like Apple where you get two deviecs.
iPhone or iPad?
I'd rather it be like this than like iOS is.
I'm not an expert on this but I have heard the main complication with getting ICS to the masses has been the massive changes between the GB standard and ICS. For phones they skipped an entire version of code enhancements that were not made available to them; drivers and other pieces of the standard kernel were modified but only tested on the Nexus devices.
So the manufacturer has to take the new kernel, add their modifications back in, make sure they play nice (which doesn't happen even in the desktop world - Windows anyone?) and then start plugging away at each issue until they get to a stable build. Rinse and repeat when it gets to the carrier. You're talking a LOT of hours to get that far and it doesn't come cheap - we haven't even talked about the cost of test devices.
So considering it took roughly 6 months to get a stable build to end users on a non-Nexus device - folks, from my POV we're honestly spoiled.

Spot on!
I have at least a dozen friends on android phones, and I doubt one of them could tell you what version their phone is running.
Heck, even in my IT/Telecom shop, I doubt more than one or two people could tell what version of Android they are on.
Outside of the modding community, most people not only simply don't know, when brought to their attention, they just don't care.
THEM: Does my Facebook work? Can I send pics and texts. Can I play Draw Something and Angry Birds.
Me: Yes.
Them:Then what does this version you keep asking me about matter...
<rolls eyes>
I think, because we are in the hacking / development world, we look at the next best thing from source as an upgrade. We are aware of what is about to come out from source, etc, but to the rest of the population, they arent keeping tabs on Google, or even the carrier probably. We know ICS is there, so that is the upgrade to us. The rest of the people see an "Upgrade available" on their phone, so that is their upgrade. We get our upgrade when google releases it, they get theirs when the carrier releases it.
My coworker is very loyal to Android but she was not aware of the naming system. She was even more excited because she likes all the desserts they've used.
The title is pretty self explanatory . What's your opinion on this my fellow Epic 4G Touch owners.

Now saying that the Galaxy SII copied the iPhone in shape and UI is a bit of a stretch.
The whole dispute about the "Touch to scroll, pinch to zoom, tap to zoom" thing doesn't mean that those actions belong to Apple, It means that the implementation of it belongs to them.
Android as a whole uses a different implementation so we will not lose those features.
Google warned Samsung to not plagiarize and Samsung did not listen.
I would have been surprised if they won, to be honest.
Apple only superficially won, it will more than likely be drastically reduced or overturned rom appeals. There's no way in hell those jurors answered all 700 questions on the juror petition in 21 hours, that's 100 questions every 3 hours. And the jurors admitted they made their decision the first day. I guarantee you not one of those 12 people understood anything about patent law before or after they found in favor of apple, and i guarantee you more than 70% of those jurors own ipads and iPhones so of course they will rule in favor of the psuedogod crapple and all of their ifail products. Its utterly ridiculous. Not to mention all of apples patents on software was opensource software no one patented because it was opensource so apple just stole it and patented it to claim rights to it and try and stop android because they are losing their market share due to them not innovating anything and just slapping a new number on the same tired OS and device and selling is as a new breakthrough product. Sooner or later people are gonna wise up to the scam and stop paying 600$ for the same device they already own cuz it has a few new apps a new product number and is claimed to be brand new, when really its damn near identical to what they already own.
We are legion, for we are many.

How about somebody come up with something totally different than what is out there now? HTC, samsung, motorola, lg, or even apple. You have to admit a lot of the "new" in cellphones is starting to slow down. You want to stop the lawsuits? Come up with something different.Maybe spend a little more on R&D.

Ya the S2 is when they started to say let's make the iPhone but bigger, faster, better, stronger. This is not good for Android, ultimately the customers pay in the end. And was this a surprise to anyone Steve Jobs' dying wish was pretty much get rid of Android by any means necessary, it is probably in Tim Cooks contract somewhere to be rid of Android by 2015 or something. I mean Jobs said go "thermonuclear" on Android, I'm pretty sure they are prepared for this fighting back and they do have a hell of a lot of money to the extent last year they were trying to figure out were to spend in the company because they had so much laying around. Anyway screw apple, they suck. They are suing over old devices anyway.

“When I got in this case and I started looking at these patents I considered: ‘If this was my patent and I was accused, could I defend it?’” Hogan explained. On the night of Aug. 22, after closing arguments, “a light bulb went on in my head,” he said. “I thought, I need to do this for all of them.”
Word on the street is that this so called jury foreman has his own patent for something I dont know what and that he came under dispute over it. This jury foreman LOST that dispute and had a axe to grind hence on why he said I need to do this for all of them.
This whole trial was nothing but a rigged scam and a fraud. The judge and get this worked for the law firm that handles apple's patent cases. Yes she used to be a lawyer that worked for apple and apple was a client.
Now you have a jury foreman who had a axe to grind because he lost his patent case
Too much BS in this case. The deck was stacked from the gitgo against samsung. Pretty funny tho that in Asia and even the EU samsung is kicking apple's arse and winning cases.
You have a judge, jury foreman and even the jury who had their minds made up from day 1 and that was that samsung was guilty. Then to read this crap of the crap decisions like no samsung didnt violate this and yet they deemed samsung should pay anyway.
I hope that samsung appeals and I really hope its all thrown out. I am not saying all this because I hate apple or that I am a andriod fanboy I am saying this because this was not a fair trial and this trial should NOT have been done where it was. It should have done outside of apples sphere of influence, ie, silicon valley.
If what is being said about the judge and her ties to the law firm that handles apples patent cases for apple and the jury foreman then if we have a fair and right justice system in this country then this will get thrown out on appeal. If so then I can see this at the door step of the SCOTUS.
Oh another tid bit.
When asked about skipping the evidence of prior art:
"In fact we skipped that one," Ilagan continued, "so we could go on faster. It was bogging us down."
LOL skipped it huh, bogging us down huh. LMAO this trial was a scam and a fruad.
It will be appealed, then that will be appealed, etc, etc. Long drawn out crap that only makes more money for lawyers. Time would be better spent watching infomercials on tv.

Ok let's say it get's appealed and Samsung still lose...will everyone in here be happy and say "Ok that's how its is." Or is everyone just going to hate on Apple some more? Honestly curious.
Here is the article. I think Apple is going a little over board with the last line of the article.
In its filing, Apple says this list is only "to address a portion of the immediate, ongoing irreparable harm that Apple is suffering."
Ongoing? Irreparable? So I am assuming that Apple thinks everybody that bought a Samsung Galaxy phone thought they were buying the iPhone. I would love to see an estimate as to how many people really thought they were buying an iPhone when none of these phones had "iPhone" "Apple" or the Apple logo on the phone.
Apple targets 8 Samsung phones for sales ban
Might wanna fix the link bro!
But apple is taking it too far and I was reading on Android Central; Samsung looses 12 billion in market value.

I think it's fixed now. But yea. I think Apple is really overdoing it now. And the article states out of 28 devices. So I don't think this is more or less about patents anymore. It's more of Apple wanting to be the only smartphone out there that American people can buy.
they are even suing samsung for making ''rectangular'' phones.
Let them do it. They all are old phones anyway.

I don't necessarily think that apples phones are ****ty. I think they are a good smartphone. Samsung and apple are two very good companies. And apple started by providing a quality phone straight across the board and great customer service. So now Samsung finally caught on to the strategy that was obviously working and decided to do the same in its own way.
Android is the kicker that is scaring apple. Because apple is open source and the open community is doing outstanding things and pushing android past its "boundaries". In return this is what Samsung used to become as important in the smartphone market. We see the same in others. HTC...
So because android and Samsung are such a threat to apple, they decide to sue hoping to destroy Samsung's and slow down the android momentum. But now that Google is involved who happens to be a big bad ass. Apple will ultimately lose or setting to drop charges.
This is definitely a fight that can go both ways. And no doubt we are in to experience and epic dual between Samsung/Google (android in general) and apple.

Apple is definitely taking this a bit too far. Insecurity? Maybe. Though Apple's products so far have been really nice, I find it a little disturbing that a patent for designs can even be issued...that too based on the shape. The monopoly that will (?) follow would not be in favour of the industry nor would it be in favour of the customers.

Even though these are no longer premier flagships, the GSII line is still in the upper echelon all things considered.
Though I will admit that the droid charge can be banned from earth as far as that goes.
I am not sure Nazi Apple are targeting Sprints GS2 but I heard rumors that Boost Mobile is going to release that phone for Sprints Prepaid line up.

Wow
I've been reading all about this, and I am just APPALLED if I have to pick a word! Apple's mama needs to spank them and put them in time out for acting like a bunch of immature, spoiled, bully brats! These are supposed to be adults, not to mention the smartest on the planet, and their acting like punks! Should Ford sue Chevy for having power windows? Or Guess sue Levi for pockets on the backs of their jeans? Or Nike sue Vans for having shoelaces? (I don't know who made what 1st, but u get it) This is ridiculous! Reminds of the schoolyard bully who wants to beat up that girl because she's prettier! I own both the iPhone and the new SGS3 - had the Vibrant before that, and although they have a similar look with similar features, they are not the same AT ALL, just 2 devices offering consumers variety and companies competition AS IT SHOULD BE! No different than 2 brands of stereos, TVs, washing machines, or anything else. They're just mad because the SGS 3 definitely kicked the iPhone's butt in every way! SO WHAT - Stop cryin, get over it, and go make a better device to compete like everyone else does, ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!! Maybe Nintendo WII should sue them for making the XBOX Kinect, or Sony or whoever made the 1st walkman should sue them for making something you can listen to music on that's portable that you plug headphones into! Jeez people, COME ON!!!! I'm getting rid of my Apple devices promptly, and I don't care if Apple makes a device that makes my money, cooks, washes my dishes, and tucks me in at night - I will NEVER buy from them again, just on principle! I refuse to support a bunch bullying spoiled BRATS that are showing my kids the exact behavior that I have always tried to tell them is NEVER OK and will not be tolerated! I still can't believe anyone is condoning this crap! Unbelievable!
People put it to Apple with your wallet. I used to buy all kinds of apple products but stopped two years ago as I do not agree with their business practices. I encourage you to do the same if you feel likewise.

I need a good video showing side-by-side comparison of the iPhone5 and SGSIII Benchmark test.
Thanks!
You probably couldn't swing a bag of dead cats without hitting a fanboy somewhere. Get one of them to put it next to your GS3 and a thrid phone to film it.

Good upgrade from 4 not 4S(had both) feel amazing on the hand and weird the long screen really sucks for most apps the haven't been updated.. Typing takes me forever thanks to the small screen... Hardware wise this phones is great! Software even tho it got amazing games and apps it just needs a revamp! Apple should have take chances and make really differences to the OS but guess they wanted to keep it safe... It will sell good for sure... The one thing android needs is cloud backup it was really good to restore my cloud iPhone 4s backup, every app log in with all my stats and what not but at the end in staying with the gs3 as my daily driver. The one thing my gs3 needs is better stand by time for sure but I order extra battery for now

" Maybe you'll call me an Android fanboy for saying this, or maybe it's because much of my business utilizes Google apps and its communication tools, but it didn't take me very long with the iPhone 5 to start thinking about getting back to the Galaxy Nexus and Jelly Bean (Android 4.1). For what I do, I think it's a more effective, more elegant, and more powerful OS right now. What it may lack in polish and consistency, it makes up for in power and flexibility."

Dude, that is great for you. But I don't think anybody cares if you don't like Android anymore because you are too busy. Most people on these forums don't really care about build quality or specs of a phone. They like the openness of Android and like making there phone unique with customization. Many people here love to code, make apps and improve source code. Obviously they can't do that with an iPhone, much less get their app approved for the app store.
All you ever talk about is the iPhone and bash Android on a android developer forum. Just by the phones you said you had, I can say you've never experienced a pure Android experience such as the Nexus phones which also just works and has no bloatware. Why don't you go to an iPhone forum and talk about how polished and great your new iPhone is.
Fanboys from either side will never understand why others love the OS they choose. Personally iPhone is a great phone and they have great customer service. The phone is simple and just works like you said but I don't like the iPhone because I like choice. Android may not be the best or most consistent OS out there but I love the hardware features that come with Android phones such as NFC and more because we as a community here at xda-developers are able to make the experience better for ourselves and others that like openness.

Tough crowd. I personally didn't find his post insulting. However, I wouldn't ever post stuff on an Iphone forum about android. But again I'm not 20 years old. I think we need to be understanding of other peoples opinions regardless.
I will admit, I was one of the dickheads that bought and Iphone 1 on the first day and I loved them for a long time. I just didn't want to be a lemming any longer. And once I started flashing roms I am just hooked on messing with my phones. This is the main reason I don't buy HTC's any longer.

It is an extremely cynical move by two massive megacorp companies (both with troubled ethical histories) betting LOTS of money on people being brainless stupid herdable sheep. Instead of calling me cynical, you should feel a bit affronted at Google....because both these corps are saying very blatantly that they think we consumers are brainless programmable robots who will jump when asked.
Google and Nestle can claim no money was traded hands all they want...but there was quid pro quo, you can bet your entire lifetime earnings and savings there was.
I don't like eating chocolates now a days but Kit Kat is very relatable and very marketable.

Agree and disagree:
I disagree with you about the sheep analogy. We are not all sheep choosing flocks to follow. Sheep are herd animals and humans are pack animals (at least this used to be true). The iSheep represent the ever growing part of humanity that has made the transformation into herd animals. I, and many of us here, refuse to be transformed by media/advertizing/image consultants into a bleating wooly douchebag. The analogy for those like me would be that of the wolf; a pack animal who, whether alone or with his pack, will divide the herd and eventually bite and eat one of them.
I agree that it doesn't matter what branding Android 4.4 has...I've always referred to version anyway

Is this REALLY worth debating?

Like CHZECK said, version and improvements are all that matter. They can call it ANDROID VERSION CRAP 2.0 for all I care, as long as they fix the bugs, improve the user experience and put APPLE out of business, I am happy!

Lol yea if apple went out of business I probably would smile. But I doubt it. Unless all android phone make you feel like your apart of a society than its not happening. The only manufacturer that makes you feel as though your part of a society like apple is Samsung. Which is why I like their phones. People see Iphone. And think upper class, sophistication, and belonging. Which gives them a sense of belonging to a group of elite. I mean who dont want to walk around feeling like their worth a million bucks with year old tech smh. We look at Samsung and see innovation, future, and a sense of belonging to a group of intellectual individuals even though on xda some people make me wonder with questions like whats rooting or a kernel, But they have a profile lol. Since Samsung set a stepping stone on what sales and devices should look like htc, lg and everyone else is really stepping it up. So apple may be in trouble in the future but as of right now. There to many zombies for them to sell to.... my bad for the essay

I personally don't want to see Apple go out of business. I like competition. I think it actually benefits us consumers.
Personally, I don't think Samsung is the bee's knees or anything, but they do make a few products I enjoy, such as the Galaxy Note series smartphone. My enjoy derives nothing from Apple's products. I like they're Android, are rootable with fair ease, have SD card slots, pullable batteries, and actually make the phablet one of the flagship phones, instead of an after though like many other companies.
I'm not an Apple fan. I don't know about the company now with CEO Cook, but under Jobs reign, they were able to make things people found useful and wanted. I don't think they really came up with many ideas that were original, but found the right delivery of it. Plus, since Apple tries to just make everything work, that's that many less people who's electronics I ultimately end up fixing; it gets irritating always fixing other people's crap because they don't have a clue.

Yea the competition is fun. I use to be an apple fan but I've always been more of a fan of customizations. When android came out I was torn because I mean you could customize a iphone 3g and 3gs at the time when jail broken. But android had launchers icons. Colors, mp3 ringtone makers. Rooting, and constantly adding more features. I actually waited for apples response. Now so many years later. Their finally responding with a more customizable ui its to late. Im done with them. Plus I saw people happy as **** that they could swipe their Iphone cross registers and pay for gas all with nfc enabled I laughed. Only because my S3 was doing that while the Iphone 4 was still on 3g like its 3g/s predecessor. Lol or my e4gt was rocking 4g wimax. It's kinda crazy though because in the tortoise and hare race. Apple the tortoise was winning the race with out dated tech smh. Apple is a cult lol
