Another reason to hate Apple

“Apple Store In Georgia Refuses To Sell iPad, iPhone To Farsi-Speaking Customer, Citing Company Policy;
A 19-year-old woman in Alpharetta, Ga., claims that her local Apple store refused to sell her anything after she was heard speaking Farsi with her uncle while she was trying to buy an iPhone and iPad....;"

That is ridiculous. As a result of sanctions, we in Iran don't have access to the Google Play Store as well as the Apple App Store. But at least, Google knows it has a huge market in Iran and tries to keep the Iranian customers happy, by officially adding Persian to Android 4.0+, they have an official Persian blog, and still a lot of their services are available to Iranians. But not selling your product to someone who spoke Persian, is just plain redundant and racist.
I hated Apple, but now my hate free deeper. A LOT deeper...
Let me know what you think.

Hey sir! Calm down! Take a deep breath and quit yer crying about Apple! Enough of this I hate apple so I am going to start a thread stuff! Please! I'm not trying to be mean, but OT is going to get clogged with this. I don't wanna hurt anyone's feelings, its just we android people know how bad apple is, and we don't need another reason. Thank you if you listened and sorry if I spoiler the mood, but I REALLY wanted to put that out there

Haters make apple famous

Right...I'm closing this because we have enough of these Apple vs. Android threads and they never end well.

? Possible White Nexus 4 @ Carphone Warehouse? UK

I went into my local CPW yesterday to ask about the availability of the N4 this week, the girl I spoke to looked it up (big screen flashing up warning NOT to give customers any info and to keep stock in the back etc)
I asked if she could look up the price for SIM fee and she tried another approach, searching on the system for lg nexus 4, a simple screen popped up with the price for 2 nexus 4's.... now, unless my eyes deceived me, I saw one for "nexus 4" and one for "nexus 4 White" (both said £389.99 or similar)
Obviously as I wasn't looking for that info it didn't really sink in until a moment or two later so by that time the screen had been closed etc.... just wondering if anyone had seen anything similar? I don't want to cause any undue excitement, pant wetting etc but surely it's not beyond the realms of possibility? I had a quick search but couldn't see any mention of it...
Anybody? Maybe the o2 exclusivity thing has the white one as part of it?
I hate white phones so not interested, but one of you lot might be into it!
We will find out tomorrow I suppose, but you heard it here first eh!
(....probably been old news for a while or complete rubbish so slinks off to cry....)

Yeah there was a picture on Twitter a while back showing a CPW display that had both black and white options on it.

Ah, it's right enough then... I thought for a second I'd imagined it. I read that article too, must have been before the update with the white option.
Sorry for the pointless post then!
Cheers

Strange we haven't heard anything official from either Google or LG about it... Wonder how it looks, as my Gnex is the white version.

Please continue discussion here

Nexus Charging Orb X-Ray Images

Hey guys,
I was one of the first to order the Charging Orb and stumbled upon a Reddit request for x-ray images of the device. Being someone with fairly regular access to an x-ray designed for electronics examination, I figured I should step up. I ended up posting the images on Reddit, but I thought I should share with you guys. I know they were already on Android Central as well, but please enjoy, if you haven't seen them.

I think it was a few hundred thousand dollars. A small price to pay for the ability to look through anything smaller than a softball.

Lol 6,100 LBS. The size of half a car but 2 and a half times the weight

And my response
I love the 90s. Good times.

What's that saying about honey, vinegar and bees

not sure why we should care about this.
if you wanted svdo then why buy an s4? the specs were released at least a month in advance.

man.. i really wish i had a custom SGS4 with my avatar on it....
i figure if samsung is watching then i might as well ask

I thought manufactures aren't supposed to post/monitor these sites. Although I'm sure they very well due, I swear I heard that a long time ago. Either way, too funny

I think its great they would reach out to someone like that. Of course its something they have no control over... when its a real bug we never hear anything.

I'm sure they monitor them, but it's not smart for them to post on them as they get ripped by someone no matter what they say. Kind of like the example in the OP above. I'm betting that support person will not be reaching out to anyone again anytime soon!

Its a shame really, they used to have developer relations and tried to reach out to the community with samsungjohn. however its just too much for one person and needs a whole team, we had kernel sources, responses from samsung and just a better connection with them.
its when samsung really took off in the rooting community.

I really miss this feature from the sgs3. It's too bad they cheaped out on us

If Sprint's LTE was anywhere as robust as their 3G (which in itself is not saying much) then this would not be much of an issue, but it's not.
Sometimes you wonder why they make such bone-headed decisions. Why couldn't they just leave the SVDO support in there. I doubt they can point to some incompatibility issue with anything like CPU or SoC or physical design etc..

OP is funny?
SVDO exclusion is almost certainly a Sprint decision, as no other phone besides the s3 and ltevo had it, or will have it.
And referencing T-mobile LTE? really? Missed that announcement where their LTE network is magically complete

We all know a Motorola device received KitKat even before Nexus users, here we see a purported Sony Xperia running Android 4.4.2, which is newer than even found on the Nexus 5 .
Is this the reason we bought Nexus? How unfaithful Google could be.

Most probably it's fake. Esp. the lighter 2 in the end of 4.4.2.

Fake.

Obvious fake.

Insult? Wtf is wrong with people these days. Clearly, its fake.

If you look closer that picture than you see that the font of the number 2 is not the same whit the rest so FAKE.
P.S. i saw some galaxy S3 clones and it said 4.2.2 but it was definitely gingerbread

Yeah, it looks fake.

This elitist attitude by some Nexus users is annoying. I thought that was supposed to die out with the Samsung fanboys when Google stopped updating for the Galaxy Nexus.
You're already getting good value for the price you pay. Why are you whining that Google is releasing (or helping to release) version updates faster for other devices, isn't that a good thing for the Android ecosystem. Is it necesary to have the latest version only for yourself to validate your self-worth and feel superior to others because you have a device with a unique brand name?
Can mods lock this thread please?
Also, now you know to not read news from GSMArena.

What does this have to do with last year's Nexus?
Even if it's not fake, it's unreleased and it's an incremental update. Who cares?
