I was talking to an iPhone owner about the internet situation at his house when I asked him why he just doesn't tether if he has good phone reception
To which his reply was" if I tether my iphone then I'll have to connect it to the computer to turn it back on' when clearly what he was thinking was a tethered jailbreak. And not wireless internet
To which I laughed hard for about 5minutes solid.
This got me pondering about other people's experiences with iSheep so please share and discuss them here!
Most of you may have heard of this, i ask my friend why she wanted to buy a 4S, and she replied:
"It's got Siri"
And i was like

Swyped from my GT-i9100
I have one. My friend posted a siri vs google now vid on his timeline and of course google now trumped. The ishep convo goes like this:
Isheep, upon seeing the video, simply said:
Nope
Smart person:
Explain to me why siri is better.
Me: IPHONES SUCK
Isheep:
Siri is better because it's still really fast, and the droid only beat it by fractions of seconds at some points. It also gave more out more data than its competitor, and was more visually appealing. I also personally don't care which sounds more human like either.
Me:
Wrong on all counts. Android was WAY faster on most tests and it is MUCH more appealing. It did not give out more data whatsoever. Also: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grmixtB9dZM
Smart person:
In most cases people want data immediately, not more of it. And siri only displayed more data once.
Isheep:
Yeah but it did give it out immediately. I don't think most people would care if you get data in 2 seconds vs 2.5 seconds, or even 2 vs 3 seconds
Smart person:
People want information and not those little "additions" that say "the weather looks good outside today."
Idk why but this just makes me laugh...

Lol, that is exactly why we're better than iPhone. They need a "guitar" to showcase what it can do. Ohh, iPhone, touch a string, and wow oooohhh Wow. I believe our Pocket PC's don't need a "guitar" to prove we're better.
*Pulls of PPC* 3G, oooohhh aahhh. GPS. oooohhh aahhhh
"Hi, I'm a mac, I can play the guitar". "Hi, I'm a boring PC, all I do is surf at HSPDA speed.
iPhone? Please!
At least we have the freedom to develop a program that will run on a PPC and we're not locked out of our OS!
Also there are cool programs like Songbook and Songsheet, great for learning, but if you want to play guitar, might I suggest, just a thought now, a GUITAR!
"Crap guys...the iPhone can do something kind of cool that we can't do. Time to belittle it".
Yeah, because us Windows Mobile users NEVER point out things that are very niche as to why our phones are as good/different/better than the iPhone.
I think its a cool app. cant' be done on the PPC though because of lack of multitouch support.
watching some PPC users reactions to iPhone stuff I'd swear they were just told they have a small :cough:.
Well, we've had this one for a while

People who play guitar actually tend to... wait for it... play REAL guitars
somewhere i see a video where a dude was using a diamond touch di debug mode, and he was using 2 fingers, so i suppose that should be doinable on winmobile too
sadly, actually i'm still waiting for the deliver of my new blackstone, so i can't try :-\
...well my personal MOST absolute favorite feature about the iPhone is that I can always wear this logo...

hahaha! Sorry to be so crass but whatevs. This stuff is so perfect I had to post it plus I'm surprised we're JUST now seeing a print like this one. I actually think even the iClones will like to wear this print anyway since they're usually into whatever is trendy. This way, its completely outspoken and I never really have to say anything. I can be on a bus, in an elevator, at the grocery store...ummm, AT&T Store, anywhere! Its AWESOME!!!
So Merry Christmas to my XDA fam, ant-iPhonies, and iCloners alike!! This is legit. I know the guy and they're doing pre-orders now, so I know I'm getting one.
Anyway, I thought I'd put it out there for my XDA fam. I've been following for hella, but I rarely post, and keep a pretty low profile. Usually I figure things out my dang self but I'm always turning people onto the community. I mean how many times have you run into someone with some HTC phone and its still got the protective shipping plastic on the back about to fall off (like your grandmas' 40 year old plastic covered couch) and you can tell they haven't even begun to use it?! Yeah, I know...what a waste right. And thats why I am very grateful for this gash darn community.
Ya'll Rule, XDA!!!
HTC -4- LYFE biiiiiiaaaaaaaaaa...*cough**hack*...umm, well at least after this Samsung Captivate goes out of style THEN I'll be back to HTC...cool?!
ps...to be truthful, it doesn't have much to do with iPhones or Mac's to me. I'm sure they technically do their jobs well. However, its the "greater-than-thou" attitude that seems to inhabit people once they "wield" a APPLE device that enrages me. Some one gets an iPhone or a MAC and all of a sudden they apparently 1) know calculus, 2) speak 3 languages, 3) can locate Tanzania on a topographical globe, 4) and wear Birkenstocks?! EEF all that madness. Its more the big corporate One-Size-Fits all mentality that enrages me.
pps...any thoughts?
Very nice but off topic have to go
I don't really like these kinds of topics, but I found my situation quite funny and perhaps worth sharing.
Last Friday I lost my O3D after it fell out of my bag.
I was riding this:

}
and descending this road, the Transfagarasan:
I built the bike myself, I even made a bike mount that fitted the phone and its flipcase, and it would stay put no matter how hard the bike fell. However, that particular day I had it in a pocket in the rear bag, charging from an external battery. I don't know why I didn't put the phone in the back pocket of my cycling jersey, it would have been way more secure.
The upside, of course, was the ride! I was so happy at the bottom, after over 5000ft (1500m) of teeth-grinding descent, that when I got that sick feeling out of the blue, looked back and saw the charging cable dangling freely, I just couldn't get angry. I had already lost my touring colleague the previous day due to different views over the tour, so after loosing the phone and consequently the tour schedule, camera, gps, radio, weather app, emergency communications and nearly all the photos (I had uploaded 3 of them on the road), I just felt defeated and rode home for the next 2 days. I bought a map to plot a quick and easy route home, and I could have bought a camera and a phone, but I felt like crap for loosing the almost 300$ I paid for the phone and decided to end the tour after a week's riding of the planned 3.
Now I got myself a Dell Streak 5, and while I miss the 3D capabilities and the camera on this one isn't great, I really like it and it's nice not having that feeling that you might still be missing a call now and then and not know about it. Nonetheless, I hope ICS will be everything we ever hoped for the O3D, and the wait won't be for nothing!
Damn. must feel bad to lose your phone.
I will hope ics will be everything for this device to.
but i think i already sold the phone before it comes out.
you may want to drive that road again and search for it.
a dell streak aint something either. i would rather call that crap than a phone.
i would search it. even if it's a extremely long road.
Greetings, Paul
Yeah, as unbelievable as it sounds it's quite true. My friend saw a table in a skip outside a charity shop the other day that she thought she would take and restore. When she took it out she noticed something heavy wrapped in newspaper and several old Samsung (D400 type) mobile phones in the skip.
When she unwrapped an iPad she brought it to me to examine. It has a white front and a silver back with model: A1458 written on it. I couldn't turn it on as the battery is dead which is indicated by the battery symbol that appears on the LCD when the power button is pushed.
The charge / USB socket looks to be the new iPhone 5 socket for which I do not have a cable for at present so I was unable to tell what spec it was.
I tried to register it with Apple but when it asked for date of purchase (I made one up of about a week old) the website asked me to provide proof of purchase information and would not show me any details about it.
I found another site that claimed to I.D it by it's serial number and I took a picture of it (attached).
So tomorrow I will get a lead and see if any owner info is on it and if so contact them to find out what they did with it. However I have a feeling this is not going to be registered to anyone (if it powers up).
My friend just wants to sell it.
Can anyone give me some advice on the best course of action? I really don't want to just hand it in to the filth so some copper can give it to his brat in 6 months!
Cheers
Phill.

I highly doubt someone just discarded an iPad 4...do the right thing and take it to an Apple store and have them track down the rightful owner...if the owner can't be contacted or did, in fact, discard it...then have fun selling it or keeping it.

Hi everyone,
Smartphone reviews are more and more complete as the competition between review websites increase but there is always a test kind of missing: signal reception.
Indeed it's hard to find data about it over the net. Some phone makers are happy to communicate about some technology they develop, and some just don't.
Nowadays it seems that all that matter is photo quality, design, autonomy and the screen. At long as you got a "bar" (which doesn't mean anything as we know) consumer seems to be happy... lol.
I found some comparisons that AndroidAuthority made, but that's about it (I can't post outside links yet...):
- Xperia Z5, LG G4, Galaxy Note 5, iPhone 6S, Moto X Style ( /best-lte-xperia-z5-x-style-note-5-iphone-6s-lg-g4-648755/ )
- Galaxy S6, LG G4, Huawei P8 ( /best-4g-galaxy-s6-v-huawei-p8-v-lg-g4-612827/ )
Over here they look at signal strength (near -60dBm being perfect, and near -110dBm being call failure), network switching rate, drapped calls, etc, which give you some clues.
Snippet (can't add images yet...):

The point is to find with what phone you really have a change to get a nice signal (just to receive a call or to get stable data coming through), when some will just drop. Apparently Huawei got a little something better with their Signal + technology, when Apple seems to do good too, but the "king" Samsung seems to be quite crappy about it, even if review websites do not reflect it.
What do you think? Any trouble with your Samsung? Huawei owners do you really see a difference? (and not just about "bars" at home).
I guess it should be a good selling argument stating that your phone is having a better signal than the others (if you are traveling a lot, when hiking, during highway drive, using less battery if your antenna is less stressed, etc).
