Nothing is going all that fast but it has been known for almost 2 years now that HTML5 was going to replace Flash eventually. For alot of reasons mostly, because the Language is more flexible and allows dynamic interaction with media, less proprietary tags and is a smaller data size. But I fail to see how flash (or the lack thereof) has any impact on Android since Android already currently uses HTML5 now.

The biggest problem android is going to face is making the quality of the browsers better.
It wont be the end its a shift in code

Or maybe you could actually make a useful contribution for once, at least once every 1500 posts. There's enough clutter and nonsense in these fora already, someone that reminds everyone of said state falls very close to being part of the problem. But I guess it's ok as long as you never get out of the Transformer section and think of yourself as of a witty, handsome boy.

I'm just trying to learn and understand. No need to be snarky as the only rule of xda is to be respectful. No need to be so nasty. If you didn't have anything to contribute why did you even post in my thread?

I think you're pushing closer towards becoming a troll but I'll play along.

It doesn't. How many times in the past month have you used Flash on your Android device? I'm betting not many - Flash is nice to have (and the plugin is staying on the Android Market) but there's no loss in not having it. The thread you link to is pure hyperbole as well.

I use flash on my tablet almost every time I use it, I prefer to have the desktop functionality of full web pages rather than using less feature full apps. A good example is YouTube, although I sometimes use the app because its easier to use, I love the functionality of the full YouTube web page and therefore watch most YouTube videos in the browser, in flash.
I dont really mind that they have stopped development of flash, so long as I can continue to use the current version on my device until it is no longer needed (i.e. when HTML5 starts to appear instead of flash on most websites).

Update and Conspiracy Theory

I am thinking something... What if someone from LG or TMo deliberately put out this update in order to find out who has a rooted device? We know that if they can prove you did root you lose warranty and YOU CANNOT SUE... And if you cannot sue... Well
No.
-Tmobile phone
Lol, nice try but no, not likely.
They most likely leaked this publicly because of the class action lawsuit. Its not complete yet so it just means they are still working on it. Im sure that it was just some big wig at t-mobile or LG that said throw out what we have regardless of whether its done or not. That way by the time the class action lawsuit even begins the issue will be mute. Its just to shut us annoying brats up

Lmao. That's a definite no. Samsung has done this same thing in the past so its nothing new. Most likely the intent was to leak it out on purpose to keep some of us from jumping off the roof. I personally would of rather LG/T-Mobile publicly speak about the matter than to just leak out the software.

And yes, a lot of people unrooted before they updated so your theory doesn't hold up.

I would think they would have to go that way, since the Atrix is running 16 internal, 1GB RAM and capability for 32GB microSD. What I'm hoping for in this device is something of an "Atrix as it should have been" kind of device. The various rumors have it as having Gingerbread 2.3.4 installed. Was that the case on this device? I'm hoping they rework the exterior (including a kickstand) and go with Gorilla glass for the screen in the production versions. Did you look at the battery yet, as to capacity? I guess basically what I'm hoping for is something like a Thunderbolt or Sensation on steroids as far as features and performance go. I eagerly await your further impressions on this device.

Holy moly

I just got a Captivate about 3 days ago, and WOW I LOVE IT!! My friend/brother got it from his real brother (they traded stuff) and I traded him a 4GB DDR3 stick of ram that you can get on newegg for $20 . I thought this thing wouldn't be able to do up to date gaming and stuff AND I thought that there wouldn't be able to do alot of rooting/installing custom roms etc..... but wow was I wrong. This thing has alot of choices available to it for roms, and I can play games like Real Racing 2 easily . I'm also glad to have an android device period to finally have a portable linux device and a pmp (which is what I wanted an android device for) that supports FLAC. All In All this thing ROCKS! I never thought a phone through at&t even if its made by samsung would be this badass
Cool story bro...

Like me lol, I just used my GPS to get to a friends house (he recently moved there) and had no issues . Speakers work beautifully and everything else is ever so amazing. I have had boot loops and whatnot... but I'm still fairly rusty/new to installing custom roms. I only have CM7 atm because it was a REALLY easy tutorial to follow on the wiki
Lol. Im on my fourth captivate. Traded 3 in under warranty. 2 for gps(gave up on that), 1 for random shutdowns, and if this one was under warranty, I'd replace it because the speaker goes in and out.
I guess some people are lucky. Or maybe I'm just really unlucky.

I've had mine over a year and the only problem I've had was my speaker quit working but they are only $25 and so I bought a new one. No random shut down, no freezes, nothing.
Yup, captivate is awesome! I've had mine since 2010 and it performs beautifully. I honestly think I could go 1-2 more years with it before getting a new phone. Always took good care of it so I have no issues since I acquired it.

Oh yeah. My contract is up in June. Once a good stable version of ICS is available from the devs, I probably won't go after a new phone for a while and save my upgrade until a quad core phone comes out.

The only random shut downs on my Captivate have been kernel related, my GPS has always worked as well as any Captivate GPS works (wonky at best, but functional), and I've never had my speaker stop working. As b-eock said, not everyone has the issues some have, you also have to keep in mind that forums attract people with problems - there are many more out there walking around in the world with Captivates in their pockets that work just fine.

Buy now or wait for Prime?

I've been searching around this thing called the internet for an answer but I can't seem to find an answer as to if/when we're getting the S5 Prime on Sprint. Anyone know the details?

That's because no one knows and it hasn't even been made official although everyone knows it's happening. My guess is, is that it might not even be available in the US.
There's a post on Sammobile saying there will be "limited quantities" of it due to production costs of the 2K display.
I'd buy it again..
Buy a new device whenever you need/want it because waiting for the next great device will never work by the time that device comes out the next great thing will again be on the horizon and the cycle continues..
Oh I've been through the cycle and back. Lol. Good to know that the reports are vague at best. The last thing I want to do is use my upgrade now and then find out that a better version of the phone is coming out in 2 weeks.

That's how it usually happens... I hate that **** too
The answer is simple, if you think you will want what's in the ''prime" more then the reg s5 what's waiting another Month or so? If the s5 is good for what you want, then why wait?
I hate to say it, but ive never been more disappointed with a phone than with my s5. Battery isn't that good compared to my g2, it's slower than my s4 as far as unlocking and opening the camera, the fingerprint scanner is garbage for unlocking the phone. The camera is great in bright and dark situations but lower light it sucks. I do however like the look and feel, which is weird because most people talk about how much they hate it. Also why hasn't samsung implemented auto-input in the keyboard, it's 2014.

Question Missing 1gb of ram...maybe.

As the title states a gig of memory is missing from my S22 Ultra. Under Device Care it shows 12gb, but under memory in Developer Options it show 11. BTW I have a Tab S7 with 6gb and it shows 6gb under both. Any ideas?
Safe to say it is not missing there was a discussion few years back on exactly the same question
What's running services show in Developer options? It should add up... unless Android 12 has some more new lame tricks.

Edit.... nope looks like I can't count, lol. Its 11 in running services too, maybe 1gb is used to help the gpu

2 Dev tools is showing the same
3 Another dev info app shows the same, strange
Shows 11. LOL. Even stranger is ATT specs has it as 8. Freakin' weird.

Don't these have a new kind of ram management? It doesn't apply to me so it's a passing curiosity at this point. You may be able to alter its settings. There are indications it doesn't work that well under heavy ram usage but I may be mistaken.
Either way I don't like changes like this... Gookill has always been a progressive mess that can't leave well enough alone. Invariably Google will keep "improving" a product until they break it.

Virtual ram, ah there it... isn't.
This is apparently Samsung's fail... this may not work so well... you may want to play with the settings.
I have serious doubts the hardware architecture can effectively support the bandwidth for effective virtual memory vs pure ram memory.
One bottleneck later... the 3yo N10+ is whipping the S22U to a pulp once the ram fills up (see 2nd link).
Why not just slam 16gb of ram into this puppy instead Sammy? As much as a battery hog as it is already this would have had a negligible impact on power consumption. Sammy skimped on expandable storage capacity (cheap) and ram (not as cheap). No wonder Samsung doesn't like the term power user anymore or the actual power users themselves... it's cheaper not to cater to them. I guess... but if you don't rock it, somebody will
