Cyanogen drops support for Samsung Vibrant
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungVibrant
It seems that not every problem has a solution, not even for the masterminds of Team Douche who create the CyanogenMod for various devices. The team has given up attempts to build new ROMs for the Samsung Vibrant. The message came from Abhisek Devkota a member of the Hacksung team, who sites public safety reasons for dropping support.
Apparently, the team simply cannot figure out how Samsung routes emergency 911 calls. This has been a continuing problem for ROMs built on the open source code for the Vibrant that was released by Samsung. The Cyanogen team has not been able to crack the various layers for the radio interface and how it interacts with audio, and has not been able to reverse-en...

Samsung claims record 300 million mobile sales this year
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsung
Add together ten million Galaxy S IIs, a dollop of Galaxy Nexii, a gargantuan gathering of Galaxy Notes and a healthy serving of Badas, and what do you get? 300 million handset sales so far in 2011, that's what. And Samsung claims that makes this the best year in its mobile-making history, surpassing 2010 by a whopping 20 million. Of course, more sales doesn't necessarily translate into greater revenue -- Nokia is still the world's largest manufacturer by volume and is a case in point. Nevertheless, we'll know more when Samsung reveals its Q4 earnings next month.

Not all Samsung Wave phones will get the bada 2.0 update.

However, not all is gloom and doom, with Korean giant preparing the so called “Value Pack” for these two devices.

Samsung loses bid to block iPhone 4S sales in France
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungAppleiPhone 4s
A French court on Thursday decided against issuing an injunction that would have barred Apple from selling the iPhone 4S in France, Bloomberg reports. The decision was part of a patent infringement complaint recently filed against Apple by Samsung, but Judge Marie-Christine Courboulay denied Samsung’s request. “The disproportionate character of the ban sought by Samsung against Apple is clear,” Judge Courboulay said in today’s decision, ruling that Samsung must pay Apple €100,000 for legal fees. The claim will move forward to be tried as a standard patent suit. Samsung filed a suit in October seeking to block sales of Apple’s iPhones in France and Italy, alleging that Apple’s smartphones inf...

Samsung puts $200 million aside for patent spats with Apple
Like UnlikeFiled in: SamsungApple
Samsung CEO Choi Gee-sung on Monday said that his company is ramping up its defense against Apple in 2012. Speaking to The Korea Times, Samsung’s chief executive confirmed the creation of a $200 million war chest that the South Korea-based vendor will use to fight Apple’s patent-related advances moving forward. Apple has of course launched attacks against Samsung in a number of regions across the world, alleging that Samsung tablets and smartphones copy its designs and infringe on various Apple-owned patents. Samsung recently scored a small victory in the United States when a federal judge refused to ban sales of Samsung’s Galaxy devices. ”If we win in Paris as well, that’s truly a big blow ...

Verizon Galaxy Nexus arrives in stores - Still just a tease
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGALAXY Nexus
While we’re pretty much in love with the GSM version of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, there’s still no official US release date and not many people are willing to throw down $750+ for it. As you may all know at this point, the Galaxy Nexus’ first stop will be a Verizon Wireless and it looks like units are beginning to arrive in the house of Big Red.
Units have began to arrive in stores today, and the picture above is just a small glimpse of the retail packaging, which varies from the GSM version. This isn’t all that surprising, as we already know Verizon has weaseled in some bloatware applications into the handset.

T-Mobile Galaxy S II is the best smartphone T-Mobile offers
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungT-MobileGalaxy S II
Few days ago one of our readers sent me a question, asking me which is the best device in T-Mobile’s portfolio. I immediately responded – Samsung Galaxy S II.
First of all, T-Mobile’s Galaxy S II is pretty much the fastest Galaxy S II out there. Sure there’s AT&T’s Skyrocket version that sings along LTE, but as you probably know – LTE signal isn’t available everywhere. What’s more, even if you get it and presuming you’re in the area where both AT&T’s LTE and T-Mobile’s HSPA+ signals are rock solid – you would hardly notice a difference. T-Mobile’s version of Sammy’s superphone supports download speeds of up to 42 Mbps!

Google Wallet to be blocked by Verizon on Samsung GALAXY Nexus?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungVerizon WirelessGALAXY Nexus
While many potential buyers of the Samsung GALAXY Nexus didn't give it a second thought, others figured that they would be buying a device that would probably work with Google Wallet. Like the only other smartphone that supports Google Wallet (the Google Nexus 4G), the GALAXY Nexus will have the necessary NFC chip embedded in the battery door. Unfortunately, Verizon will not allow the first Android 4.0 phone to access Google Wallet.
The reason for this is quite simple. Big Red is one of the companies involved with Google Wallet competitor ISIS, which also uses NFC technology. Others involved with ISIS include manufacturers HTC, LG, Motorola, Sony Ericsson, RIM and Samsung. Other carriers inv...

Apple’s US Samsung sales ban demands refused
Like UnlikeFiled in: SamsungApple
Apple‘s attempts to have Samsung’s smartphones and tablets banned from sale in the US have been rejected in the US courts, with a ruling late on Friday throwing out the possibility of a preliminary injunction. ”It is not clear that an injunction on Samsung’s accused devices would prevent Apple from being irreparably harmed” US District Judge Lucy Koh concluded in the San Jose court, Reuters reports, arguing that Apple had not sufficiently demonstrated that its design patents would not be overturned in the eventual trial.
