wow... the flood is coming...

summation from the verge..
"The result is that the S7 Edge is easily one of the best phones I’ve ever used, and probably the best Android phone you can buy right now."

@axhng Better than many so-called professional reviews. Enjoyed your review :good:

Android Authority has put up their S7 Edge review, including battery and performance data for both the Exynos 8890 and SD820 versions.
http://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-review-679143/
They give it their 2016 Editor's Choice award, as they do with the S7 flat.

Arstechnica also has put up their review and also compare both exynos and sd820 performance and battery life

I am rich (software)

can some make this ridiculous SW (misspellings and all) for our devices, pleeaaaaase.
[sarcasm]i would love show-off this mockware to all the of those who aren't as rich as me.[/sarcasm]
eight people actually bought it? I guess that means we have eight CONFIRMED idiots on this planet.
wonder how many unconfirmed
i suspect it's mind boggling
LOL. I saw this on giz. I was ROFL'ing for like 5 minutes. And did you guys read about the dude who "accidentally" bought it? LOL
NO... We have more than 8 idiots. You have to include ALL THE APPLE STAFF who approved it in the first place. They probably only took it off when the 8 idiots complained and demanded their refund for the $1000 they spent.
This definitively looks like nice piece of software. I hope someone can develop such a useful and good looking application for our Windows Mobile devices. Otherwise, i might seriously reconsider buying an iPhone.
P.S.:
Congrats to developer of this original app. Nice way of earning few thousands $$ for few seconds of work. Way to go, good thinking!
And all this just proves that iPhone is just a toy for really rich people and true high-tech work of art only for idiots.
"I am rich" for Windows Mobile
Thanks to Julien we, WM users, finally have the chance to try this great app.
It looks like it's still in development. It's not fullscreen yet, but it's still free, so if you want to try this fine piece of software, now's the time.
Download here
YYYYYYEEEEESSSSSS! I just saw it here:
DL'd it and immediately ported it to my "iPhone"

i am, though, disappointed that the 'deserv' was spelled "correctly." argh, oh well. it's well worth the $2,000.00 i donated for this little gem.
Well, I guess it is still in development so it has some minor issues. I'm sure that fullscreen and misspelling will be added as soon as possible. But this is promising start and we will soon be as sophisticated as iPhone users. I also think that many iPhone users will migrate to WM devices since this app is no longer available in Apple's App Store, so we can expect at least few tousands new xda users in next few days.

I think the number of confirmed idiots on the planet is more like the total number of people who bought an iPhone.
Oops! I said the quiet part loud again!

Hah, whatever you say chief.

Need your suggestion =)

hey ppl i'm selling my Hd-2 and getting a offer for a iphone 3gs 16gig
what do you think shoudl i do? which device is better? suggest friends
thanks
Not really a impartial forum to be asking which is better.
Really depends on what you need an prefer. I know a lot of people with iPhones that love them. To me it just and iPod with a terrible phone and a ridiculous level of control by Apple.
Neither go to the dark side for a positive change and get an Android device

if you plan to go for the iPhone platform, wait for the 4G model. Not that the 3G S would be crap - the 4G will still be much better.

true thats what bothering me bout the phone

A Dead Horse Yes but still some info none the Less

I know this has been discussed and talked about in the past but every new bit will hopefully get us closer to a source for more fantastic roms to be made. The article made me laugh with the first line of the article but like i said hopefully there is some truth behind it.

Those Froyo upgrades are coming real soon now, a Samsung exec repeats.
BARCELONA—Samsung's chief strategy officer said Froyo updates for Samsung's Galaxy S phones are "imminent" and explained why the company chose Nvidia to supply a processor for its Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet in an interview here at Mobile World Congress.
Samsung has sold more than 10 million Galaxy S smartphones, but most of the ones in the US are still stuck on the older Android 2.1 OS. The 2.2 update is finally really, really close, Khan said.
"Major carrier upgrades are imminent. They're right around the corner," he said.
Samsung has come under a lot of criticism for not delivering the updates, which the company originally promised would arrive in 2010. Future updates will come more promptly, Khan said.
MWC (Mobile World Congress)
"We're competitive and we plan on remaining competitive. We're like to be as quick as possible," he said. "The only way we can prove ourselves is by delivering future upgrades."

Laughing their asses off
We have heard this for how long now? Not flaming the OP, but Samsung that continues to regurgitate the same old line.
So, what part of this "info" is of any use at all? Same crap, same Craptivate.

wheres the deadhorse.jpg?
They have been saying that a FROYO release is really close for almost a year and now 2.4 is to be released by the end of this summer. Do you really think that 2.2 is any closer to being released after another article was put out to the world.
KHHHAAAAANNNNN!!!
I've read this whole article a few times now and it never says the guy's first name, just calls him Khan.
The Epic forum has a thread running wild with sprint official retail screenshots from actual employees saying froyo will be released 2-21-2011.
Damn, it is gone now. Disappeared! I mean deleted not locked.
These threads need to be deleted this is worthless ****

Official kitkat for s advnace !!!!

With Android 4.4 KitKat, Google is aiming to bring a better Android experience to the masses through features such as reduced memory consumption on low-memory (512MB) and low-cost devices, and that has had a lot of people hoping manufacturers will bring the new version of Android to some of their mid-range devices that may not otherwise be eligible for another update. Well, according to an image we received in our inbox, Samsung is thinking of doing just that, and is considering the update for some of its mid-range and low-end devices.
In a document SAMSUNG has decided to release KITKAT 4.4 Update for SAMSUNG GALAXY S ADVANCE in near future.
You can find the name of SAMSUNG GALAXY S ADVANCE in KITKAT UPDATE LIST down below :

Hello. The post you mentioned was opened by me. I reported to delete the post. Just wanted to tell everyone this news. Cheers.
they are only considering it and it will take months to bring it as before this many newer devices are in the queue , and i am pretty sure before that we will have custom roms very much usable based on 4.4 ....
brother,
the source also says that samsung 18 month policy of update n our s advance have already covered 20 months so.....chances are getting lesser day by day....
According to this document, s3 mini, fame and s4 mini will be getting updates too, and s4 mini is a very good candidate
Now our phone was released on 2012, our phone is old in the eyes of Samsung...
Yeah... they stopped making updates for the good old S2! So I highly doubt that our device will get the 4.4 update... but if we do get it then it would be awesome

It's simple, some of these phones in that list are novathor based, including our i9070. If they can be bothered to update one device to kitkat, they'll probably do the rest... The other ones are quite diverse. Much more work to do there.
But yes, it's been 20 months since it was announced... it doesn't look good. But who knows, time will tell!
Nice
Yeah ..News is great.. n feel better as owner of S advance......But.... who will gonna use stock rom..... hehe Customs are Best....
Have you read at the top of the paper?
"Under investigation". It may not be official still.
Sent from my GT-I9070 using xda app-developers app
I would use official rom, despite everything I love touchwiz
And if have smart volume (a feature that I would love to test!!) I would go for it
Anyway, i still doubt it, but who knows?? Time will tell...

LineageOS 14.1 by AndroidAndi

Hey @Android-Andi
didn't wanted to OT one of your threads but I feel like saying a big fat THANKS for all the work on Android for Espresso/SGT2 and the recent updates, especially since you find time for this old, old Lady again, besides your troubled times...
When there was the last blackout I didn't expected to ever see anything from you (yes, I read your github entries) and I would have completely understood that but it's just a joy to see you working again!
This feels a little like you winning the fight or at least decided to take the fight and give your iron fist to whatever stands in your way (metaphorically) - and that feels good to see, the new builds are just a side effect of you healing!
So that's just a few thoughts from my side...
Yours sincerely
Thanks for your words!
Sometimes you have to accept an challenge, even if it's hard and there's no real end to see. There's more parts which make life not easy atm, but can't say public.
I'll have to trust in myself that things go better in future, at least the financial part is one I could change myself in future (share the apartment with my girlfriend and stepdaughter? or finding a better paid job?). Until that I have to stay strong and enjoy the time of things which still go right.
Some donations made to me for development helped on paying parts of the vet bills, releasing new builds from time to time is a way to say "thanks" back to the community. So yeah, I have to say thanks too and it's one coming directly from my heart!
I've never been the one asking for help in the past, I always have been one of those being glad to help others if I was able to. those changes are hard to accept...
And Shorty says "thanks" too. His blood test results still aren't good, but he's out of a critical part and if it's better on Wednesday we can lower the cortisone in the evening a little bit.

Shorty is a real beauty actually!
Having two cats myself I know the pain when they get sick and need treatment from a Vet, also this moment when the Vet's bill for said treatment arrives... Ahrr
Here's a Pic of my hairy friends from around 2 years ago, didn't manage to get them both on the same picture together again... ever!
Much love Andi!
Keep up the good fight and your great work!
