Great app! Tested it out today and I was pleasantly surprised. Without that nice bump in juice my phone would have died. Five stars

come on...

Is this really possible?

This app does make me wonder. If one could create a completely clear solar panel and then make the glass on your screen out of said panel. Then your could have a screen that does actually charge you phone. Well there is my million dollar idea, haha. Seriously though. Nice app for some good lulz .

Actually there are real solar chargers. www.solarphonecharger.co.uk/
Can't believe the whinging about this on google play...people rating it one star and seriously asking how long it takes to charge etcetera.
Proof people don't read the description. But then there are people who also complain that the magic eight ball doesn't tell them their future lol.

What worries me is that clearly a phone can't charge by just having a picture of a solar panel yet so why do so many on google play think it should and then complain? Makes you wonder if in other situations they would end up winning a Darwin award.

I just read my own comment and realised that where I first put "yet why do people" I left yet there so looks like I meant "can't charge from a picture of a solar panel yet". I guess I should explain I really don't think it possible in the future to do so via a picture either lol.
How about an update to the app adding a new feature, auto recharge at night by overlaying an image of the sun onto the panel so it can charge even at night.
And a warning that all the negative comments are from people who work for big power companies trying to down vote it.
I'm not gullible myself, just have to point that out as I never fall for such things. I'm rich though. Well will be, when those magic beans I bought yesterday begin to grow

XDA's view on Apple

Hello,
since I'm still rather new on the forums, I would like to know what the people here think of Apple and their devices, and of course, why. I think I already understand people aren't positive, which I'm either. Speak your mind!
My view? Well, I of course prefer Android. The freedom of flashing Roms is great, Android simply is much more open. I also see many Apple products with broken screens, and I nearly never spot a Droid with one. Apple products are overpriced in my opinion, too. And as last, patents, enough said.
I have to admit that I maybe am a little too subjective. I think that the overall hardware quite good, apart form the screens, and its interface feel rather good.
Oh, right, I forgot to mention innovation, which Apple lacks

I won't buy their products. I like the open source android and having ultimate control of my device. Now after this lawsuit against Samsung, I definitely won't buy any crapple products.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium

Hm.
Well, I would have to say that albeit the devices have a premium feel [with the two latest iterations], the Apple ecosystem is generally a money trap.
I'd rather have a Blackberry over an Apple device. At least I wouldn't have to be afraid of breaking it with a 2 foot drop.

They don't get nearly the credit they deserve. Particularly around here.

Innovation stiflers.
As for their products, they're okay, if overpriced and hard to unbundle. With Apple, we pretty much get accept-everything-or-leave-it devices, and I don't really like their design aesthetic - even Metro is preferable to me.

Nothing really special. Easy to use but they're not my type. Overpriced and very limited.
They make quality hardware but lackluster software, to closed/limited for the price you're paying. They also have those overtly absurd patents that endanger the mobile ecosystem as a whole.

I like the design, it looks professional and iconic. Other than that, nothing.

They're a good company, superior marketing, but shameless and greedy.

The hardware on them is just wonderful (minus the processor, but I suppose it doesn't need it with their OS). If on Android, every OEM could team up to make an ultra phone (i.e. Sony Camera, Tegra graphics, Exynos Processor, Motorola durability/signal strength etc.) like Apple did with everyone else's parts... well I might not be saying the same thing.
Apple is sort of like the Firing Squad, and each of the Android Manufacturers are like the Lineup. Apple takes each of the best parts from each OEM and kills them off. For example (most recently) Samsung chips, but sues them. It's a great strategy. But also a pretty a-hole move.
In conclusion, GREAT HARDWARE, SMOOTH OS, BUT CLOSED SOURCED JERKS. That's just me.

I think they make a decent product that appeals to those who want something simple to use. If the company wasn't the biggest patent troll around, I wouldn't mind recommending their products to people. They only sell one phone and I think there are different wants from consumers. Some like a larger screen, some like smaller screens, some like QWERTY keyboards, some would rather have a thinner phone with only a software keyboard. They had a pretty nice looking OS in 2007, it looks outdated nowadays. Its also a very limited OS with minimal customization allowed.

I see apple as a onetime great company that allowed the untech savy people to fianlly have the ability to use the latest tech, then they gained such a cult following they realized they could be a little greedy, when that worked so well they set there sights higher until they became a very greedy company whos inovation spirit was lost and forgotton.
Then they decided they want everyone tobe an isheep and make it so if you don't choose them you cannot choose anyone.

The iPhone has always had the best build quality. The iPhone always felt really good in the hand. You really feel like your possessing something made for the gods. The only thing about the built quality that I don't like is the glass screen, it breaks so easily.
The iPhone has the most apps, iTunes, and no risk of viruses so your always secrure. The battery life will almost always get you through at least a day. The picture quality is remarkable, and the camera is easy to use. When there's an update (if your device is going to get it) you recive it almost immediately. The ios interface is simple, beautiful, and fun to use.
Apple is never influenced by other companies. They never put technology in there phones thats not practical (HTC releasing the Tbolt that only lasted 4 hours) (4LTE drains battery's way to fast to be put in a phone).
Having that said, I refuse to buy an iPhone until it supports a 4 inch (or bigger) screen that's 720p. And atleast 1.2 gzh dual core A5 CPU.
Yep, I'm picky

The only thing I like from Apple, having used the Iphone 4, is the app store.
I don't care how many apps there are for each platform, but in the iphone, hundreds of apps are very polished and made almost perfectly. This includes games. I'm not even going to mention games and apps on the ipad; when they're optimized correctly, they're beautiful. (see: snapseed, alienblue, etc) You just enjoy using those apps. Many apps and games on Android are just iphone ports, and due to fragmentation, you don't get 100% perfect games like the developer intended.
Other than that, I don't care about apple or their products.

iPhone 5 faster than Galaxy S3? LOL GTFIH!

Going based off the 1640 score that Anandtech got with the A6 chip. I was having beers last night when I bought the benchmark app and ran it myself. First test.

I was confused at first since the A6 supposedly outperformed the quadcore gs3. So I ran it again and...
After working a 13 hour shift with no lunch my gs3 still outperformed the phone that made my day a living hell. GS3 best phone in the market hands down.
Synergy Rom GS3 here. Reps to all GS3 owners.

few points.
First, this is an apple vs samsung thing, and should not have its own thread.
Second, you don't have a quad-core processor
Third, you don't really think any iphone users out there are really going to care, do you? Nobody has ever purchased an iphone to be on the cutting edge of technology.

I think anyone who buys an iPhone is mad anyways.... You are in a CLOSED ecosystem and you can't do **** with an iPhone unless your connected to iTunes and even then the stuff you purchase is not really yours....? iPhone 5 is a well made and great device but your buying into a LOCKED down OS platform and that I cannot do.... I have an iPad 3 for my daughter and that is only cause it is more "kid" friendly, so if you want a kid friendly phone then get an iPhone 5 and be like EVERYONE else that has the same damn icons and os as the first generation iPhone... LOL

Quad core in OP, dual core in subsequent post.
Don't be sad that you have a phone nobody is going to oogle over anymore because of a new iphone release. Sure, it may not be cutting edge technology, but not a single iphone user is going to be impressed that your phone has 23 app points more processing power than their phone. I have a gs3 because it fits my needs, and others have iphones because it suits them. No reason to be butthurt enough to make a thread about it.
Besides, real men don't measure their manliness by the phone in their pocket, didn't you get the memo?

ehh the android customization VS apple simplicity argument has been done to death, and it never proves anything.
Apple people buy apple products for simplicity or name brand awareness, and they're happy
Android people buy android for function and a sense of self fulfillment, and they're happy
People in the middle buy whatever seems cool and don't care what either have to offer, because they both get the job done and meet their simplistic needs, and they're happy
The whole grass is greener on my side debate is pure opinion, and as long as you're happy with what you have there's no issue. I can imagine an argument in your household though one day!
Daughter: I'm 17 why can't I go on dates, I'm mature enough!
Dad: Why don't you prove your maturity by doing your homework, cleaning your room, and using an adult operating system!

I was reading a CNN article on how Google play is quickly catching up to the Apple App store.
In the comments is this douche bag..
What??? Yes there are more Android phones then iPhones, but it is a well known fact that iOS accounts for more web traffic than Android. Why is this? Because most Android users dont have a job and eat hot pockets in the mothers basement. Android users in general do not have credit cards and thus tend to look for free stuff. This is why, despite being the majority, a developer cannot make any money. This will not end unelss Google starts modeling their store after the Apple App store. Plus, if you remove all the crap like wallpaper, sound bites and pirated apps, you are probably left with under 200,000 apps.

I think people who buy the iPhone know exactly why they buy it. Quality build, unmatched ecosystem and excellent customer service are a few. Why buy the cheap knock off when you can get the real deal.
Lets face the truth, Android users are not the brightest in the bunch. Apple is sells hardware/software, Google sells advertisement space, this is how each makes their money. Android users have chosen to give up their personal data in exchange in order to have choice. The choice they are making is which phone do I want to use in order to give up my personal data.

What difference does it make, Samsung phones look like iPhones. How else do you expect Samsung to comepete. Build a phone that looks like an iPhone and the Droidtards will then choose to buy it because they now have the best knockoff of an iPhone available. Its really that simple.

" At least with Android, I have a choice in what's important to me, whether that be hardware types or software"
yea, on the hardware side, you have a choice of [email protected] and heap o' junk. Nice choices. On the software side, you have a choice between amature crapware and second rate copies.
Do you know why developers develop for iPhone first and Android second, if at all? Its because developers look at the Android ecosystem and see nothing but a mess. You cant even install ICS, you think you have a choice? Are you kidding me? You do not have a choice. I have the choice with an iPhone because I can choose to run the best mobile software I want at anytime, you can't run top of the line software and your hardware was probably once touted as an iPhone killer.

What’s the relationship between Oneplus and OPPO?

No a real surprise to me, just a confirmation of a thing i always tought.

Kinda expected tbh.. Not like it's gonna change anything in my eyes..
I see Oppo as a nice company! And I was happy with their Find 5 with the exception of colour OS, this is where Opo will prevail with CM11S.
Nothing bad about it in my eyes..

So blatantly lying to potential customers in order to gain more sales is 'nothing bad in your eyes'?

are you care about the names, lies or the marketing if you will get a high-end product (not just hardware, built quality, but software and future support (hope so)) on half price?
i don't care
btw I agree with you if you talk about the "smash your phone" incident

That picture is from 2 months before the company was even unveiled. I wouldn't be surprised at all if they only had one investor at the time

I don't care that Oppo is Oneplus, neither do a lot of people. The issue is that they are blatantly lying to potential customers by trying to hide it all in order to portray themselves as a new startup trying to fight the giants. **** that. That's terrible marketing, and is going to hurt them a lot more than if they had just come out.

Yup. I have no issue with OnePlus' relationship with Oppo. Actually, I have issues with how much they are trying to distance themselves from Oppo, considering that Oppo's reputation in the west is overall positive and how close they still are to Oppo despite their claims.
The OnePlus One is a slightly modified Find 7a. In fact, in addition to manufacturing the device, Oppo appears to have done the initial BSP bringup prior to handing off development to Cyngn - the source code drop for the Find 7/7a also has defconfigs/code/ifdefs for a "find7op" which differs from the Find 7a code only in the few cases where the One and the 7a have been definitively documented to be different.

I dont think that a company launching its product on such a scale will lie...

Except they are lying... What they state there is a minor technicality. It's obvious that the two companies have a VERY close relationship. Again, this relationship isn't an issue. The fact that they constantly claim that it doesn't exist IS an issue.

Holy god people are idiots. From the beginning one plus said that most of their team came from oppo and they left oppo with their blessing. Which means oppo gave them seed money to start out. Which means they own a own a part of it. I guarantee once the one plus comes out and they have enough money they will pay oppo back and break all ties. This is not a scandal this is how business is done

One plus is 100‰ owned by oppo. They are one and the same. The one plus one is a very slightly modified version of the oppo find 7a(almost exactly the same phone)

its speculation that oppo owns oneplus. oneplus says they are just investors, and the oneplus is not a very slightly modded find 7a. it looks similar because it has the same designer and thats his style. calm yer tits and stop jumping to conclusions.

It's been confirmed. http://www.gizchina.com/2014/04/27/china-regulatory-board-oneplus-owned-oppo/
Though according to the official one plus response to the documents, they try to side step the question without answering it..
"We understand the confusion as many people are just finding out about OnePlus. But as we’ve said from the beginning, OnePlus is a separately run company that does share common investors with OPPO."

oneplus says its not owned by oppo. if you dont trust that, dont buy their phone. i dont care, makes it easier for me to get one.
