Support NeoGAF

[zedge]

Lol. One of the first things I turned off was that sound and the stupid ripple effect on my s3.

 

[The Faceless Master]

Why though? The whole point of decoupling apps from the system software was exactly to get around the fact that they could update as they go versus having to wait for the next version of the OS.

gonna tie them into KLP via some unique functionality and force customers to beg OEMs to upgrade for the better version of gapps!

MASTER PLAN!!!


(no, they just suck)

 

[Vanillalite]

Thank the lord at least we have the open source community to bring us updates so when Google hold off on app updates for newer Android versions as long as your phone isn't a dinosaur you can usually find a ROM with all of the up to date goodness.

God, they should just go back to the S2 design.

 

[Talon]

God, they should just go back to the S2 design.

You mean look like an Archos product?

The rounded edge look of the SIII actually harkens back to the E6XXX series of flip phones. They abused the pebble metaphor then, I'm sure they'll do the same now as long as they can.

 

[zedge]

God, they should just go back to the S2 design.

With the massive s3 sales.. I doubt it.

 

[CygnusXS]

Since Super Hexagon was mentioned earlier, anyone here finished it? I swear Hyper Hexagonest is impossible.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Sorry dude. Should have dumped NVDA when HTC dumped T4i.

HTC is a dead company. What they keep and dump is irrelevant.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

pretty hyped for thursday. I think samsung will bring some interesting features in their software. Also just want to know what battery it's packing already! Also maybe those leaked pics were the final product. Unless samsung is pulling a bait and switch here.

OR it's just a generic "galaxy phone" pic, especially considering there is no speaker grill lol. Guess we'll see soon.

It didn't need a speaker grill. The sound is transferred directly into your brain using a telepathic neural air interface.

I just hope they get rid of that drop sound. I feel like it's conditioning me to pee whenever my gf uses her phone.

i still can't believe there's no option to just change that sound! like .. wtf, really? REALLY?

 

[brotkasten]

How was that not clear?

God, they should just go back to the S2 design.

You mean iPhone design.

Lol. One of the first things I turned off was that sound and the stupid ripple effect on my s3.

For the longest time I always wondered why my wallpapers would be more bright on the lock screen than on my home screen. I had to Google it because it bothered me so much and found out that the ripple effect was the cause of it. Disabled that shit ASAP.

KLP should bring those app updates. Well, not the OS itself but the presentation. It just looks better for Google.

I'm sure the apps will be updated through Play.

 

[gcubed]

So first iOS got the superior gmail look. Now it's the web app: http://www.droid-life.com/2013/03/1...il-to-mobile-web-version-not-android-version/

so uhhhh why is google giving it to their own app last lol. I'm guessing it will be part of KLP.

Superior? That's a step above the terrible that was the previous web app. You have strange strange thoughts

 

[Fatalah]

You said it! Running CM Jellybean on the original Incredible! Works fine too.

I find it cray that there still isn't a Google News app.

Not sure on features, but KLP will finally bring a consistent design across the board, they're waiting to update everything that day.

 

[Qvoth]

so my sgs 2 that i bought in hongkong few years back finally updates to jelly bean 4.1.2 from samsung kies since it got released few days ago

"Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped"

[kinggroin]

I find it cray that there still isn't a Google News app.

Reader, Currents, Weather and News apps?

Or do you mean all unified?

 

[Fatalah]

Reader, Currents, Weather and News apps?

I thought Current was based on your RSS feeds? I'm looking for the Google News curated experienced.

There's a News app?

Also: Possible first hands on video with the S4.

No you.

News app is built into the phone. Weather and News.

god the S4 looks so f'ning boring.

Really looking forward to the Verge review.

 

[kinggroin]

Samsung going to also copy Apple's stagnation?

 

[Toki767]

Really looking forward to the Verge review.

I wonder if they'll trash the screen for using LCD like the One/One X when they preferred LCD over AMOLED last year.

They gave the One a 10 for display.

Galaxy S4 will use a 2600mah battery: http://www.sammobile.com/2013/03/12/galaxy-s-iv-to-have-a-li-ion-2600-mah-battery/

Samsung's Sharp equity deal reveals pressures as display unit lags

SYMBOLIC STAKE

The latest deal, which will give Samsung a symbolic 3 percent stake in Sharp, is a drop in the bucket from the South Korean goliath's 37.4 trillion won ($34.5 billion) in cash.

But it will give Samsung a broader supplier base, access to Sharp's low-cost thin-screen technology, and a foot in the door at one of Apple Inc's key Asian display suppliers.

Not sure if this has been posted but read this a few days ago. Those Samsung using lcd rumors just won't die so maybe it's related.

S3 design is way better than S2. Build quality nothwithstanding.

Samsung can't even launch with the latest OS

The Sony tribalism in that Z/ZL thread is phenomenal. 10/10

 

[BIGWORM]

I'm probably gonna pass on the S4. Doesn't seem like it'd be worth using an upgrade over my S3.

Intel releases Android Jelly Bean 4.2.2 dev code, adds dual-boot option for Windows 8

well it's a typical upgrade. Bigger screen, better screen, better camera, better cpu/gpu, better battery life, slightly better hardware quality (aluminium edges), we also don't know the final design.

It's basically an upgrade in every way possible. But is it one you could live without? That tis the question.

I was told that most people on GAF have a thing for everything Sony, so it would make sense.
