You know what I hate?

When people ask, "Is that an iphone?" Is it just me or has every smartphone become an iphone?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

I can actually agree with you. It's as if no one is aware that there are any other touchscreen smartphones besides the iPhone, or that iPhone is "the best" because "everyone has them" or "because it's an iPhone". Now, if they could at least tell me why it's the best against all the other phones out there, then it wouldn't bother me. But not knowing anything about other phones and then saying it's the best is just...it makes me mad.

'Nuff said, yeah?

welcome to the cult of Jobs .p

As much as I hate to admit it, Apple basically kick started this whole ecosystem and was the loud mouth of the media.

and then I show and tell them that the Captivate is the best phone in the market (until the epic comes out Q_Q) XD

No one had asked me if it was an iphone yet. I am regularly asked if it is a "droid phone" though. That's also annoying.

I hope that this is the worst problem you have in your life.

I regularly get compliments about the phone looking much better than an iPhone. The curves...the screen size..the screen clarity...everything.
The other day someone thought my phone was the Evo 4G. Not a complaint though. The Evo is a great phone.
At least no one asks me why I DIDN'T get an iPhone.

I actually haven't had anyone ask me if it was an iPhone. Mainly because I keep to myself but still

I haven't had that problem..but it pisses me off when everyone refers to an mp3 player as an iPod..

Apple Blocks import of certain HTC Devices

Do you guys see this garbage? Wow Apple, i honestly never thought you would become like this... smh x1000000000
the amount of respect i had for this company was already real thin, and now...i'm not even sure if i have any respect anymore...

Its ironic that its only happening to AT&T and Sprint, since they sell the iPhone.
Not to T-mobile for the One S...
Apple is running scared because they have inferior phone technology, and they will keep the competition out of the marketplace but rather in the hands of the US justice system.
HTC and Google need to lay the smack down and hold their ground, prove what is right and counter with the voice recognition and pull-down menu. Which were both around since the dawn of the G1.
Apple is a terrible company and this is yet another reason they don't give 2 $hits about the technology innovation by pushing the envelope further.
Too much piddle, for not enough shazzle.

Add to that the fact that Microsoft is, according to my source, about to blow everyone away with WP8. Supposedly they are gearing up to take the mobile market by storm, and every objection I've raised (including fragmentation, quality of hardware, and lack of support for apps )was met with "I can't discuss it, but it won't be a problem."
I'm honestly intrigued.

BLOWN AWAY with the ONE X

The first phone that I fell in love with was a Bold 9000. For messaging and durability, it was untouchable. I took it swimming multiple times, dropped it off a 3 story building, and it still worked like new.
I dicked around with a 3GS for a while and it sucked. Laggy and severely dumbed-down interface and UI.
Just picked up an ATT HTC One and I'm simply blown away after an hour of use. I can't wait to fully customize Android and this phone to my liking. The simple ability of mounting the phone as a disk drive is PRICELESS.
Simply put, it is a power user's dream phone.

I honestly am blown away as well and I come to this site to see what people like/don't like about the phone so I can learn more. This phone is damn near perfect coming from a Captivate which sucked in every aspect. It's nice to see other folks feeling the same way instead of the constant gripping over, what I consider, little things.

Tech and my bank account don't get along. This phone is great. I will have a party when the bootloader is unlocked. Even stock, this thing works well and that's saying a lot.
I remember when I first opened google nav...inside.. to just type in the addy like I did with my inspire so I wouldn't have to mess with it in my truck. Address in, hit go, put it in my pocket. Maybe 5 steps in to the hallway it starts talking to me with a gps lock. It was an exciting moment lol

Thank you for sharing your views on 3GS. I was thinking to have it with me but then you recently make me feel it can be broken easily with just one drop. I will add some more money and then I will buy HTC One X.

Android R.I.P. - The Grips of Jobs' Dead Hands

Android, and every other touchscreen OS, (besides iOS) you might as well say goodbye to...
Apple now has the power to destroy Android, Windows Phone, and any other iOS Touchscreen Competitor... Steve Jobs wins this round (for now anyways...)
How long before Apple has the S3 Pulled? This is the top iPhone competitor besides the DROID RAZR Series, with the S3 far ahead...
Check this out:

This could spell the end for Android and this phone, and I will not be a happy camper if I can't upgrade because of Apple... I will throw a major tantrum!
Google, act & appeal fast and fix this mess!!!!

I am not saying this will happen, but is quite possible if the government doesn't block Apple in their tracks from doing so... (I think once Google Appeals, these parents will be made standard for touchscreens...)

If this ever happens i would rather go back to a flip phone or have none at all. I would never give apple any of my money.

I refuse to get an Apple device, but this won't effect available devices in stock or on eBay, so good Android devices will be very rare if this goes the way Apple wants... I'll tell you one thing, eBay prices for Android Devices will go sky high.... (used or not...)
Edit: I miss flip phones anyways, so I'll go old school if I have to...

i have an ipad, and this makes me want to smash it. Apple, you do not own the world, you were not the first to create a "list" on an electronic device. If your so afraid of Samsung, then just build a darn phone with a bigger screen, i wont buy it, but tons of other people would. Fair competition is good for business, it keeps ingenuity alive and keeps engineers pushing the limits of what can be done. Competition is THE ONLY REASON we have the superphones we have now. If apple owns all the rights to make anything that even resembles a smartphone, we will have the iphone 4s renamed and sold as a new product for the next decade.
Whoever the judge is that granted that patent, is an idiot.

it will never happen. Nothing to add.

Well some of what this says they currently have rights to like list view is bs because before the first iPhone was released I was able to use list view on Windows mobile for years. So unless I've miss read, something isn't right or maybe my aging memory is wrong.

Do a factory reset, sell it, buy a Galaxy Tab, then shove it in your Apple Store representatives face showing features that the iPad doesn't have... No reason to smash something worth hundreds, (although the company who makes it is pure evil...) But I agree with what you were saying completely...

Android is here to stay. Google and samsung have some pretty good lawyers too. It's total BS that this kinda stuff even goes on. The only people getting rich on this are the lawyers. If they were smart, they'd sit across from each other at a conference table and make a truce and move on.
Now that Jobs is dead, it's just a matter of time before Apple slips into irrelevance. Nobody there has the passion he had about his company, and nobody is gonna defend it like he did.
That 40 billion they have will be squandered away on bogus patent law suits. Money that could have been spent on more cutting edge development. Everybody knows that patents are crap. Your better off not even applying for a patent and get the thing to market first. By the time they figure out what you did, you come up with something new. A patent application is an invitation and a headstart for everybody else to steal your idea. The company thats ahead of the development curve, and gets it to market fast and furious, makes the money.
Boo hoo...they stole my idea:crying:

Apple is a joke. This is what happens when they feel threaten by a competitor. I will give it to Apple the iPhone was a brake through, but since then Android came out and is user friendly with developers willing to make the devices better and faster more customizable. Making the Android OS just better period. Apple needs to realize there are other players in this game so step up as Android HAS. They know Android IS the future and their scared they will be left behind. Lol I laugh a Apple, I'm going to tell them like I do any young kid with a bad attitude grow up.

[Q] Block calls incoming & outgoing & off topic parenting discussion :)

Hi Guys. I was wondering if there is any apps or method I could use to (block incoming) {know how to do this and out going calls and even mms if possible. I have this phone rooted and and running cm7. Its acctually a HTC inspire. However you guys in the HOX forum are my family
Reason behind this is my daughter is getting [email protected] grades. I think it is important in this day for a teenager to have comunications for emergency. I'd like to know how I can limit her from usage. ATT wants to charge me 5 bucks a month to do this.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

I never understood the rational behind doing something like that. Do you honestly think denying her the ability to use a phone is going to motivate her to spending her time actually studying? I know I wouldn't.
Sent from my HTC One XL

Rational is for every action there is a reaction. Good grades are required to have a cell phone. Bad grades = no cell phone.
Or choice if you like? Choose to have bad grades = choose to not have a cell.
I've taken it away. But would like her to have the opportunity in emergency to contact essential persons.

I guess I don't view negative reinforcement as an effective solution. Granted, I'm not a parent but I was more recently a teenager with bad grades. Well... Not that recent but you get the idea. I certainly don't mean to tell you how to raise your children and think I might be overstepping my bounds.
Anyway... I you can still dial 911 if you take the SIM card out on a lot of phones. She won't be able to call you but could still use the phone for emergency use only. Dunno of an app to do what you're asking unfortunately.

I understand you position. I was there once also. Everyone needs structure. Like android you need a breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert. We try and structure Our enforcement like the society that they will eventually have to live in. Choice is the problem, and choice is the solution. There are good choices that have good outcomes and not so good choices..... you get the point, I hope. I also thought about my ten year old who has a galaxy phone.

Letting your girl "pick her destiny" is good, at least I think so. I'm 20 year old now, and when I was getting in trouble in school and what not my parents would discipline as they saw fit. I was being extremely dumb and thought it was cool to do drugs(weed) but, because I was in soccer and working my way towards a soccer scholarship... My parent's didn't do a whole lot, I just got teh truck taken away from me for a few weeks, and I had to tell my coach if i ever wanted to get my keys back. He is like a second father to me, and he kept getting on me when I messed up at practice. I'll never forget certain moments at practice either... It was absolute hell but, I've never touched that stuff since. I've carried a 4.0 through my senior year, and currently have a 3.6 in my soph year of college. Scholarship is almost up, and now I'm looking to join the military. I can't thank my parents enough for the way they handled that. Most f the people that I have hung out with in high school are now dealers/arrested for possession with intent to distribute/pregnant... That list could go on forever.

Before, I was able to run a mile in just over 7 minutes, for my body type that's pretty good. I am 5'10" 195#. My time slowly started to decrease... I look back and I will never be able to thank my parents and my coach enough.

To each his own. To me, what that stuff did to me, was bad. I say bad... Be cause it hurt me on the field. I am a gk, and it messed with my reactions and split second thinking/decision making. It effects people differently. One of my long time friends got arrested for possession with intent to distribute. It messed with my conditioning BAD.

I see where your coming from yeah Im center mid I played division 1 soccer which is the top around here... I say played because I had to get knee surgery from soccer over the summer and none months recovery so ill be back in June but I think im done with competitive play... My conditioning did get a bit worse which I can admit to while I was still playing.. as for the arrest I'm truly sorry ..nobody deserves tha for just this...here In california I think u have to 8 g on u to be held up for intent to sell... But I will stop when I have to settle down and be a consistent man in the real world.. I have no doubt you're happy you stopped ..sometimes I wish I didn't do it sometimes I just have that crave to chill out and sit back.. but like u said "to each his own"

Ya I tried it a couple times when I was younger. Just wasn't for me. I don't care if my kids experiment with it. They're gonna do that any way. Just don't want it to run or ruin their lives.

Experimentation is different than using, in my eyes. If I ever have kids, I say that because my little cousins are natural living birth control, I wouldn't scold them for being a teenager but like you said, I wouldn't let it run/ruin their lives.

So we strayed off topic... Kind of. The title does say off topic. but it was more of sharing stories of what parents did. At least, with me it is. Don't know about Omar
