Apple vs Samsung update:

Apple Award Cut With New Trial for Some Samsung Products

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-03-01/apple-patent-judge-orders-new-trial-on-some-samsung-products.html

Apple Inc. (AAPL)’s $1.05 billion victory against Samsung Electronics (005930) Co. in a patent infringement case was cut almost in half by a judge who ordered a new trial for some Samsung products.

U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh in San Jose, California, today reduced the jury’s damages award by $450.5 million and said Samsung deserves a new trial on infringement claims over its Galaxy Prevail and other smartphones. Koh rejected Apple’s request to enhance the jury’s award, saying the amount Samsung owed was heavily disputed and the jury wasn’t bound to accept either side’s damages estimate.

still a long way till resolution, but...

slavishly cut...

I haven't really been paying attention. Was anything big announced at MWC?

That's it? Any idea when Samsung is going to announce GSIV/GNIII?

 

[kehs]

Mid march if I'm remembering correctly.

March 14th, hopefully the announcement will drop the prices of Galaxy 3 or Note 2, I need a new phone off contract at a decent price.

 

[Sky Chief]

Oh wow, very soon! Thanks all!

Why does android redraw my widgets (I only have two - calendar and reader) after using Google Music for a while, even though there is 280+ MB of RAM available?

this X phone better fucking deliver, cause i'm still rocking my 20 minute life GNex LTE

You mean you actually use it off the charger??

I get pretty good life on mine, without any kernel mods or whatever. I am using the extended battery.

N4 will get KLP. So, yeah...



Also, this is blasphemous. The N1 was amazing at the time. Now, the Nexus S on the other hand...

My N1 wasn't. I won't even get into how much I want to kick HTC in the balls and then punch them in the face and piss on their dead burning charred corpse because of that POS phone I got.

How long have you had the extended battery?

I'm still using the stock one from the original launch date

I'm sitting on a few juicey ones but I ain't spillin just to make you people go mad..... MADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My 94% functioning N1 disagrees.

If you are still using an N1 as your main phone you should just GTFO of this thread if you are a regular.

Just because he wants to run Ubuntu Touch on his N1......

I've been using the extended battery since I bought the phone at launch as well. It was $25 at Verizon at the time so I just got it straight away, considering it added almost no bulk to the phone.

 

[kehs]

I weighing my options, either firefox, ubuntu, or just downgrade to an n4.

[Jack Scofield]

Does BetterBatteryStats actually do anything to conserve battery life, or does it simply cull all the data into one place? After I installed the app, I noticed that my weather app wasn't updating like normal, nor was I getting notifications from messages received Google Chat.

It might be a coincidence, but I just wanted to make sure.

 

[Threi]

The latter. It just gives you detailed data on what is actually draining the battery so that you can fix it yourself.

No one has given a shit about Motorola for years now.

That's the other Motorola, after the company split in two. The Motorola owned by Google isn't the one that makes cable boxes.

Right, except the OG Droid pretty much saved Android in the US.

If Motorola didn't step up, somebody else will, it was more like ATT's exclusive iPhone contract saved Android.

has the deal been finalized yet for Google selling that piece?

 

[Liquidus]

So outside of attaching a voice recorder message through the messaging app there is no dedicated sound recorder app in 4.2.2 (stock)?

Fucking Android makes me laugh sometimes.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Which was years ago now. Motorola had an early mover advantage and Verizon's advertising support and they completely squandered it. The only company which has been more wasteful of their early mover advantage is HTC.

There's literally millions of voice recording apps.

but they are fair weather recorders, not dedicated to the cause!

Just another reason why Cyanogen Mod is best since it has one preinstalled!

A dedicated aosp recorded probably wouldn't let you save in odd second increments anyway.

There shouldn't be a need to download a third party app though.

If you open up voice search and say "note to self" it will email yourself with a voice clip.

I don't want a voice recorder app on my phone. I'm glad it's not on Stock because I'm not in college and would have no use for it. Outside of apps like Gallery, Messaging, Email, Calendar, there's no need to include apps you can get elsewhere.

I'm sure you're happy Verizon included their app on the Galaxy Nexus, too.

No one here cares about the X Phone anymore until we get something concrete. You're as delusional as Motorola.

LTTP of Android community thread, I guess. Got a Tmo GS3 running CM10.1

There's something wrong with the stock 'AOSP' browser. I'm seeing weird glitches with the address bar when loading a webpage. The progress bar appears as a ragged blue line and then the top of the page blanks out to a black strip or superimposed with random parts of the page. I've experience this glitch on a Galaxy Nexus (4.2.2. rooted) and a Nexus 10 (4.1.2 rooted, browser sideloaded).

WTF Google? :/

Yeah that has been a problem since 4.2 I think, why I stopped using it.

All part of their plan to move you to chrome.

Chrome for Android to Add Web Accelerator via Google+

I've always wondered when the Google Web Accelerator project will be resurrected. Now that Google has both a mobile operating system and a browser, it makes sense to find better ways to speed up browsing. A fast browser is not very useful if you have a slow Internet connection or you're limited to a few hundred megabytes a month. That's why browsers like Opera Mini and Opera Mobile are popular. Amazon Silk for Kindle Fire even uses Google's SPDY to make browsing faster.

Chrome for Android will add an experimental feature that uses Google's servers to compress pages. The purpose is to "reduce data consumption by loading optimized web pages via Google proxy servers." For the moment, it's just another option added to the chrome://flags page. You'll probably find it in the next releases of Chrome Beta for Android.
