I guess that someone refers to a kind of fruit that doctors hate most...

Funny, i get this feeling that a certain company is behaving like a spoilt brat.
And I do not mean Sammy.

with so many sales i see devs targeting the mali gpu and forgetting tegra exists

Compared to the iphone it's nothing really.
You think they'll sell another 15m in a month......

We have a lack of devs for SGS2, I mean at any HTC device section you have a ''team'' working behind MIUI for exemple, making the dev of the rom pretty fast and perfect.
Here we had a good launch of roms for 2 weeks then nothing...
I am sure we can port HTC Sense 3.0 into sgs2 but we need more devs

Lets think about this in a different way - suppose apple licenses iOS to other vendors, do you think the iphone (and not all iOS phones) would sell 18 million per quarter. It's a very hypothetical situation, coz we all know that apple would never give licenses to other companies. Right now the scenario is that anyone who wants an apple/ios phone, u have to buy iphone. Similarly we could argue that if GS2 was the only android phone, it would sell much more than whatever its selling right now.
imho, sales figures of GS2 are quite good considering no-less than 5 "premium" android phones available at present, and maybe another 100 medium-low priced options in market. If they sell anything more than 10million, it's a bonus.

2,9 million or so of that were sold in Korea I think, and Koreans are crazy for everything Samsung does, so it's not a huge number for me. Apple sells 3 million iPhones in a week.

In koreaherald says clearly: "Samsung Electronics Co., the world’s second-largest maker of mobile phones, said Sunday its overseas sales of the Galaxy S2 smartphone topped the 3 million mark 55 days after its launch."
If you are correct, then the total numbers of S2 are 5.9 millions. Consider that S2 isn't even launched in many countries including the US ...

Apple had better plans for Samsung. They are now requesting for a court injunction banning Samsung's from being sold and should be removed from all shelves. Bastards...

For those comparing apple iPhone sales to SGS2 Sales....its like apples' vs oranges. No pun intended. But how many models of phones are out there made by Samsung sold in a week vs apples iPhone per week? That's part of what makes Android the number one OS out there...the ability to have your choice between more than ONE piece of hardware every time an update to the OS comes out

Galaxy note vs galaxy nexus

first of all sorry if this is the wrong section cuz idk where this thread shud be
i wanna know which phone to buy galaxy note or nexus
currently i have galaxy s i9000 and i dun really like it and am bored of samsung customer support cuz till now they didn't release a bug free gb firmware so i was thinking about a nexus phone so i can get updates once it's released without touchwiz **** but i also like the galaxy note with its huge display

Neither. Wait till CES for the newer S3
EDIT: wait for MWC

You're my age cut the capital D happy faces.
The Note is going to be like the dell streak. I thought it was way too big to be practical, and my predictions were correct. They phone/tablet had horrible sales. This seems to be a little smaller but I think 4.6 is max . I think 4.3 big enough already but holding a 5+ inch phone in your pocket all day seems like a pain.
Galaxy nexus is my next phone the moment it drops on the sprint network

shipped with an very old version of android, and had performance issues.
"They phone/tablet had horrible sales."
-Yes as stated above for different reasons which are not an issue with Samsung Note and as stated they have sold a million Samsung Notes already.
"This seems to be a little smaller but I think 4.6 is max."
-a pattern of you being wrong again and again...
The Samsung Note is 5.3 which is even bigger then the Dell Streak.
"I think 4.3 big enough already but holding a 5+ inch phone in your pocket all day seems like a pain."
-another assumption? It is not a problem to have this phone even in the skinny pants that I wear all the time and I am extremely physically active.
"Galaxy nexus is my next phone the moment it drops on the sprint network"
-another bad choice, most of the world uses GSM and for good reason. If your are going to go with CDMA at least go with Verizon who has acceptable coverage only in the US. AT&T with an unlocked phone is the best choice especially if you are worldly and like to travel.

Galaxy Note is way better than Galaxy Nexus because of the Mali chipset, Nexus chipset is a real deal breaker, in my country Note is already selling like hotcakes where as nexus is loosing its market value.
I am going to buy Note soon.

When i bought my Note, I thought I would use it primarily as a small tablet, and that I would continue to use my HTC Sensation as my regular phone.
I learned very quickly that the size of the Note wasn't an issue, and that when I used my Sensation I just found it felt small and cramped. So, I swapped my primary SIM into the Note, and now use it as a daily driver.
Consequently, I fundamentally disagree with your assertion that the Note is too big, because it really isn't noticable either in the hand, or in the pocket.

Dave

I am a Samsung galaxy note owner after having the S2 & the HTC desire HD.
I cannot imagine ever going back to my former devices after using the Note!
It is by far the best phone I have ever had and to be quite honest I thought that the size would be a problem which later on, as I discovered, was not.
It fits in the same pockets as my S2 without any problem...
No comparison can be made hardware wise and surely if someone gets to use it, he won't compare it to any other device in circulation...

XDA Members & I9300 Owners:
Here we are... at the end of yet another long statistics and promises-laden tech event. The devices were many; the showstoppers few. Yet here we are... flipping through XDA as usual. What devices caught your eye? What devices surprised you, and what devices did not? Will any of you be jumping ship from the I9300; and if you will, are any of you valued developers? How have the events of the past 24 hours changed your foreseeable future? More importantly, how do you think the past day has changed XDA's foreseeable future? Do you see high-traffic camera threads in XDA's future? Do you see Windows Phone 8's clean build usurping the DIY appeal of Android? What are your thoughts?

To be honest I dont really think WP8 got what it takes to uproot android. IMO I like androids openness and as u said DYI.
And for me Galaxy note II stole the show, and yeah Ill be jumping ship to that..And knowing how much Note sold, iam sure there will be lots of good devs there as well But I will probably wait a month or two..

I agree with most of that. The Note always attracts attention. However, even with as much of a hit as it was, I don't see myself buying one. I already have an N7000, and I'm not too fond of the switch from 1280x800 to 1280x720 or the lower DPI. The N7000 was already right on the border between visible pixels and retina-size pixels.
On another note, did anybody notice the 7" gaming tablet from Archos? They always make the crappiest stuff. Then, out of nowhere, they announce this kick-ass beast. I'll be getting one of those for sure!

That looks like the S1!

Nokia must be panicking now after the specs of the windows phone were released. It's an awesome package. Did you see the back of the device? It's beautiful (the front not so much, as already mentioned). Why the GSIII doesn't have that quality is beyond me. Metal over plastic every time. It's a no brainer. It oozes quality.
In the end though, it's a windows phone. That in itself will mean the development of the device (from here and professional developers) will be limited.
Still love the back though.

I expected that the iPhone 5 would sell extremely well, but after the law suit I don't think they'll sell as well as they would have if the law suit didn't happen. My prediction is that they'll sell a lot at first but will not do as well as the 4S has.

Well for the first time ever, I won't be getting Apple's latest iPhone. Simply can't see knowing Apple's past minor upgrades that iPhone 5 will beat my galaxy s3.

It's because iPhone 5 is about to be released.
When iPhone 5 gets released, it'll probably sell more in its first weekend than SGS3 did all the time since its release.

I don't know what you're smoking, but I want one too.
Samsung may outsell Apple, because they are selling very low quality cheap Android phones too. These phones naturally sell more than Apple phones, since Apple only makes premium phones.
On the premium market however, nothing outsells iPhone. Just get out of your house once, sunlight won't hurt you I promise. Look at the phones in people's hands. How many iPhones do you see, and how many SGS2's and SGS3's do you see?

You're probably from America, in Austria you see already more s3 than iphones (without counting s2 or other high-end android devices from other vendors).
Edit: small addition about premium. It's pretty easy to call it premium while it's the only ios device and there are no lower or higher spec devices to directly compare with.
But most of the time when you compare it spec wise to an android device released at almost the same time it (the iphone) settles more at mid to lower high-end range device than premium.

One thing I've noticed is people don't make such a big deal out of having an iPhone anymore, or what I like to call the iPhone dance... Where they take the iPhone out their pocket in a crowd and make sure everyone sees that they have one.
So it looks like the shine's been wearing off the Apple lately.

I'm probably gonna get the one because HTC got me all excited with the specs. I've always been a Samsung fan but since there's nothing really known about it I'm too hyped up about this phone to change my mind. Lol poor Samsung lost a buyer.

I'm getting it because of the quality of the phone and the huge amount of development this phone will have due to it being release to so many carriers

Haha Im sure you won't be disappointed, especially with the excellent build quality of the HTC One. Also nice Avatar, A Day to Remember is great.

The phone looks simply beautiful. Kinda sad that its not a full 5". Adtr is like my favorite band. Homesick is basically all I play in my truck.

Exactly :good:
If you want toys, go for Samsung. If you want solid smartphones, go for HTC

Samsung phones are for sure easier to hack and easy to fix if something goes wrong.

Or you could just wait till march...I mean it isn't that far away and you will then have all the info you need for a decision. That is what I'm doing. Plus I don't usually like to be the early adopter of the first batch of new products...always seems to be some sort of problem that pops up.

saying that i have brought htc desire and htc sensation on launch date and neither has had a problem. But i have heard stories of problems with new phones.
Lets hope htc have done enough testing on this one to make sure they are only little!

Well I probably won't be able to get a phone in march anyways, gotta wait for some other stuff to clear up so I'll have plenty of time to make my decision.

What specs do you want Samsung to announce?
The gap between HTC one X and the S3 was about 2 months.. Its less than a month this time around.
Not sure what you expect from Samsung.
Its almost certainly going to be'
5" , 1080p, 441ppi, 13mp camera, 2600mah battery, 1.9ghz S600 and 2gb ram.
The One looks great and I'm seriously considering getting it.. but I'll wait to see what Samsung has to offer...

Exactly. I read on gsmarena that the s4 will have a full 2.0 GHz processor. Guess we'll just have to see.

I don't know about fixing... But rooting/flashing..... Have you tried Odin? OMG, 5 Minutes and WHABAM.... Much easier

thats actually a pretty good point :good:

Odin rocks. It literally takes longer to download it and set it up than it takes to flash a recovery. There's no boot loader to unlock and you don't have to s-off.

Blind loyalty is dangerous. HTC rushed the launch of the One X and had tons of problems with it. The DNA/Butterfly seems to be faring better. An all-metal mobile device with multiple radios/antennas is a risky move. Every manufacturer that tried it before (including Apple) has had wireless issues. Based on that, victory rallies and celebration for both HTC and the One should be held off until after it’s been in people's hands for a few months. HTC’s never had any issues with hyping their devices but sometimes that hype has been ahead of the actual device/functionality. So the One could be a turning point for them (I hope it is) or its forum could light up with issues like the One X's did. It's way too early to call.
As for the SGS4. Samsung has a multi-billion dollar chip business and spends billions on R&D specifically for that division. To launch the SGS4 which should sell upward of 50MM units with a competitors SoC is asinine and that SoC would be used for a year's worth of production. Same thing applies to moving to LCD with their huge investment in AMOLED. For them to launch a "me too" device that mirrors the One and XZ would be marketing suicide and they know that. Most of the rumors everyone's picking up originated with Samfirmware which is hardly a reliable source based on their track record. If I was betting, I'd go with the SGS4 having a Samsung SoC and SAMOLED display in addition to other new features not on competitive phones. We'll see in three weeks.

yea i think we need to remind those defect figures were only in the first three months or so after a couple of month build quality picked up immensly
but BarryH is right, early adopters oftern burn
that being said, i think HTC experimented with the DNA/Butterfly well enough to prepare for this launch
this leaves the metal casing, i don't think anything can go awfully wrong just dont hug it and expect signal
There is one big difference to the One X launch
the One X was HTC's first polycarbonate unibody, in metal they are experts, and the One X was really rushed even shipped with freaky unfinished software, the HTC One seems to have been cooking for quiet a while and they are already pretty experienced with those chipsets

So many freaking amazing things about these phones. The decision is becoming waay tough.
