Of course not. Samsung, with it's IMMENSE marketing budget/strategy will again remain the largest seller of mobile phones this year. Without any doubt.
That being said, sincerely hope a more premium S5 will be released as the current one does not make me giddy in any way whatsoever
There is a thread in this section for "other" device discussion. Otherwise, we do have a Galaxy S5 forum.
Thread closed.

No matter what, I have to say that apple products changed the PC, phone and to some degree the music industry.
He made our geeky toys the desire of everyone, and companies had to change to keep up with these new, better looking and better performing products.

Irrelevant! Surely it's not just about the iphone!!!
I was talking about technology in general.
Do we not enjoy our toys?
Do we really think we would have the phones we have today (SGS2) if apple had not broke the mold with the iphone?

Sad, I was just sharing with my S2 oppos, sorry I bothered...
.
There's a thread for this in off topic.
I want to ask the moderator for my serveral concern.
1. What is the criteria for being a forum on top or to be list in compact view? Is it about the number of post? No. The number of posts in our android development part is great in number, even more than the phone I am using now HTC sensation and no need to say about galaxy mini ,ace or moto atrix.
2. Is it about the number of Roms? surely not also! We have quite a number of ROMs although most of them are edited from stock ROM, but the number of developers are also quite enough for being a phone on top . The number of themes, mods, tweaks are so many as well.
3. Is it concern about the update frequency ? Again it is a mistake .our forum update frequency is on the top level. About 100 new posts appeared everyday. Is that an enormous number? Not quite, comparing with galaxy s2. But I think it is quite a number comparing with other phones like HTC Evo3d or Samsung galaxy captivate.
4. Is the phone not popular enough? No! Our phone is one of the most popular phone in Asia. With cheap price and relatively high spec, the number of user is still increasing. As I know in China and my city Hong Kong, the number of user of i9003 is more than I9000!
5. Slow official update, no CM, no miui, I9003 don't deserve a place on top.
Well maybe we don't have miui is a fact. But we can see that the speed for Samsung to update the firmware about our phone is suddenly in an incredible speed. So slow official update is not a matter. Many phone on top page even loses the promise to update to gingerbread from their manufacturer! Is that a reason don't let us to be on top? Our cyanogenmod is now developing! Maybe our cm developing stage is slow but at least we are doing! Is that reasonable ?
I hope the moderator can gave the answer to us as soon as possible. I hope the mods can provide us a schedule about what is the criteria and when can we be on top.
I know I am no longer an I9003 user. But I am still a member of the community, the business of I9003, is the business of mine!

superb buddy...same thing was going in my mind from so many days...
I'm not sure, let me me see what I can find out.
I think our community is now mature enough and we should take action now to request the moderator to promote us to a new position.

It's strange that I didn't see this post at the November.
I agree with all your words in your topic. Strange that we are still in the "Legacy & Low Activity Devices". Because both these parts are not true for our device.
We need to break free from this low activity forums!

If I9003 is a legacy, but why galaxy s 4G can live separately with i9000? Galaxy S 4G is more similar to i9000, but they still get a separate forum on the top.

that's the problem.....its the same with AT&T ,and T-Mobile variants of galaxy s2(they have just got a .2 inch bigger screen!)
they give separate forums for these devices which are released in the US...after all ,the core moderator commiittee are Americans!
since the i9003 wasnt released in the US,hence the situation!

what would be improved if our forum was relocated from the low activity section? is it just a feeling of happiness that you're no longer considered low activity? yes, I have this phone, but no, I don't really care which section we're in as long as it's working fine. I will say that being a sub-forum of the i9000 was a bit hard, especially for organization of information, but whether we're "low-" or "high-activity" makes no difference as far as I see. please explain the improvements we'd see...

Can't only agree with you guys, the popularity of i9003 won't change now, and be here or elsewhere won't change anything to the situation.
Tottaly agree with you like the others. It's about time we were put in the proper place.
Well I post this in the Sony Xperia S' forum. But I think it should be addressed here as well. If you're a Samsung fan boy feel free to walk.
Ok folks here's my sentiment about XDA's biasedness towards Samsung. If you're a samsung fan boy feel free to walk.
So the US versions of the Samsung Plasticky s3 have not come out yet and yet there already are forums for them? Sprint Samsung galaxy s3
Verizon Samsung galaxy s3
ATT Samsung galaxy s3.
Tmobile Samsung galaxy s3.
But the Sony Xperia Ion is coming out in the same time and it's the only Sony phone in the US but it does not have a forum? I remember when the international s3 had not come out yet and it had its own forum. What bs is that? I'm not really a Sony fan but I'm so sick of how Android is morphing into a Samsung-only avenue. Why not just rename the forum from XDA developers to XDA Samsung's ass kissers to not mislead newbie Android users? I know I will get warnings and stuff but I dont give a crap anymore.
Update: Excuse for not having a Sony Xperia Ion forum:
As I said here a few days ago:

Not every phone can have a home in XDA.
There are many factors affecting the decision, one of them being interesting and continuous development, this is xda-developers after all.
P, U and Sola are relatively new devices, borderline low-end, middle-end at best, so it could go either way.
You need to be patient and in the meantime, try to make the accomodation of more than one phones under the same section bearable.
It is your responsibility to post in the correct sub-section, provide clear and to-the-point thread titles ("HEEEEEEEELP " "OMG wtf happened to my phone" "???" etc, are NOT acceptable) with tags ([P], , [Sola], ) so that the forums are as clean and helpful as possible.
Thanks!
Ion, even though definitely a high-end phone, is just not that popular at the moment. I do not think XDA favors Samsung, users do, so they render their products popular.
Please make your requests here, keeping in mind that they may or may not be met after all.
Thank you!
Now look at the image attached. I call BS on this.
Yawn.

i dont really agree with your sentiment,
Sammsung has flooded the market with their phones they hit every carrier and every pricepoint so there is gonna be alot more users. the GSIII has been a very highly antisipated phone in fact it may even kick the iphone off its pedestal as the single most popular phone.
i find XDA's coverage of Sony to be exceptional the news feed mentions a Sony related item at least 3 times a week. that is impressive because market share wise sony is almost non existant. The forum is very active for most of the Sony models. way more than i have seen on any other site.
What us sony useres have going for us is the fact that Sony has been very accomodating to the Dev comunity and all we need to do is enjoy it and continue to encourage it.
1. I do not see an ATT, VZW or a Sprint dedicated Galaxy S III forum. Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong place? Using xda app and don't see it under forum alphabetical names anywhere.
2. The s3 is the most anticipated Android phone of all time, it has something like 20 million units sold/pre ordered already.
3. WWWWHHHHHAAAAAAAA (baby's cry)

So do you think that just because a manufacturer releases a phone that XDA should open up a new forum for it? Got news for you, XDA is FINITE. Hard decisions have to be made about where to allocate resources. That is why there is a specific thread for this purpose. It is sticky noted to the top of the general XDA-developers.com subforum.
New Device Forum Requests
Perhaps if you can get enough people to request a new forum for your device then the admins will see enough of an audience to warrant allocating those resources.
So I'm a little confused about what the Premium Suite is, but an article on cnet I just read makes it seem like the UK is getting it as a free update to the GS3 (I can't post a link because I'm "new")
Anyone have any idea if we are getting this on Verizon?
No one knows one way or the other. The best we can do is wait for some word from Samsung. A better question would be if the SGS3 will be officially getting 4.2 at all (even international) because we'd have a better chance of receiving that. That's my speculative theory anyway.

I was wondering about this, too. However, being that it's Verizon, we'd probably be getting it three months after everyone else did.

On average, Verizon trails 6 months on updates. The S3 JB update was one of the fastest ever...
I'm just hoping that it can be incorporated into custom roms.

I recently purchased the S4 and have been fairly happy with it except for Verizon are morons and locked the bootloader for most. I keep hearing how great the HTC One is now and I'm beginning to question my decision and whether I should sell mine and get the One or keep this? Would love some ppl's input on their experiences with both.
Thanks! :good:
I've heard some reports of bad build quality on the HTC One's for Verizon. People basically on the opposite situation as you who had the HTC One and are returning it for the S4.
I would stick with the s4 as well.
