Question by Gagan: Is it true that the Samsung Galaxy S2 GPS does not work without GPRS connectivity? The GPS of my samsung galaxy S2 was not working. It was not locking. I showed to the service centre, and they said that its AGPS and so it will work only with GPRS connection. This sounded quite strange. My previous mobile Motorola Milestone also had AGPS, but it never required GPRS for GPS connection and so I was able to use GPS navigation on the way without GPRS connection.
Best answer:
Answer by IanThis is not true.. This is for the original Galaxy S, not the Galaxy S II. GPRS connectivity has nothing to do with anything at all. Samsung just used crappy GPS chips in their phones (the original Galaxy S had none at all)… I recommend you use WiFi as well, you can use AGPS to help GPS lock in.

Trying to decide between iPhone and android, and don’t feel like paying for new apps, especialy ones I own with the app store… Does android suck?
Best answer:
Answer by TomIf you have enough money to purchase a iPhone with a contract you have enough dollars to waste on some apps. Android operating system is far more interesting than Apple and no updating your PC every two weeks. Stop window shopping and make a commitment.

Drivers who spring for the Signature Series trim level of the EV sedan now get a year’s worth of mobile data at no extra cost, a bonus no doubt helpful for buyers who get lost on the first drive. Regardless of which Model S might eventually find the driveway in the future, Tesla is providing a look at how it paints the car’s chosen color. Each aluminum shell is dipped in an electro-coating solution, baked in an oven, water-sealed and given its final clear coat paint by robots — no dealer will be charging extra for weatherproofing here. It’s all appropriately futuristic, and you can get a peek at the whole process in the video after the break as well as at the source.

WWDC kicks off next week and in traditional fashion, a keynote headlines the event Monday morning. Much is expected from this year’s show including iOS 6 and new Macintosh desktops and laptops. So far the rumor circuit has been a buzz with talk of a complete hardware refresh including Apple bringing back the MacBook brand, adding a retina display to at least one model and finally employing Intel’s latest silicon that will also bring USB 3.0 to Macs for the first time.
What follows is the first post in a series rounding up nearly every rumor concerning Apple’s WWDC notebook announcements (iOS 6 and Mountain Lion to come) no matter how far-fetched or wild — some will likely come true and others probably won’t.
MacBook Pro redesign Rumor:
- A revamped MacBook Pro line will launch at WWDC
- New models will be thinner without an optical drive
Argument:
- The MacBook Pro hasn’t seen a new design in two years
- Several credible rumors state the same message of thinner design, no optical drive and USB 3.0
Objection:
- See next rumor
Judgment: Likely. The MacBook Pro is long overdue for some new digs. It’s a safe bet that if it doesn’t happen at WWDC — it is a developer’s conference after all — Apple will announce the new models in the coming weeks to get a head start on the lucrative back to school season.
A revival of the MacBook brand Rumor:
- Name would be just MacBook
- Prices would start at $ 1399 for a 13-inch model, $ 1,799 for the 15-inch
- No optical drive and optional SSD
- Would eventually replace the MacBook Pro
Argument:
- Comes by way of AppleInsider sourcing a KGI analyst
- MacBook is a known brand
- The stats match up with previous rumors
Objection:
- A third line of Apple notebooks would cannibalize existing sales
Judgment: Possible. Apple is set to kill the optical drive in its notebooks, but doing so in the so-called Pro line would diminish ever so slightly the line’s professional brand.
New Intel Chipsets Rumor:
- Apple will finally employ Intel’s Ivy Bridge CPUs
Argument:
- The current MacBook, MacBook Pro lines use older Intel CPUs.
- Intel is currently rolling out Ivy Bridge CPUs.
- Apple generally uses the latest generation of Intel chips
Objection:
- Apple sometimes works in mysterious ways
Judgment: Highly likely if Apple announces notebooks at WWDC. Apple’s current notebook line use relatively antiquated Intel CPUs. It’s time for an update. If Apple doesn’t announce notebooks at WWDC, look for new notebooks with Ivy Bridge CPUs in the coming weeks.
USB 3.0 on the MacBook Pro Rumor:
- USB 3.0 will join Thunderbolt on the MacBook Pro
Argument:
- If Apple finally deploys Ivy Bridge CPUs, USB 3.0 is supported natively
Objection:
- Apple sometimes works in mysterious ways
- Apple is pushing the competing high-speed interconnect standard of Thunderbolt.
Judgment: Highly likely if Apple announces notebooks at WWDC. This feature is dependent on the Intel chipset.
A retina display in a notebook Rumor:
- Apple will use a higher resolution, likely retina-quality display in a notebook — either a MacBook Air or MacBook Pro
Argument:
- High resolution icons have been found in OS X
- Next generation AMD and NVIDIA GPUs can push crazy resolutions
Objection:
- Super high resolution screens are very pricey
- A higher system resolution could disrupt current applications and development
Judgment: Unlikely even though retina displays is a strong part of Apple’s product branding strategy. There is little benefit to roll out very expensive high resolution displays when there isn’t much built for the new resolution yet. If this is in the cards for future models, Apple might announce high resolution support alongside Mountain Lion.
17-inch MacBook Pro to get the ax Rumor:
- Apple is discontinuing the largest MacBook Pro amid slow sales and a new notebook strategy with a revived MacBook line replacing eventually the MacBook Pro series
Argument:
- The 17-inch MBP is the least selling Apple notebook, capturing only 1.7% of sales in 1Q2012
- A smaller, high resolution screen could replicate the workflow of larger screen
Objection:
- The 17-inch might not sell well, but it’s a true mobile workstation
Judgment: Won’t happen at WWDC. If true, this will likely come later this year. The cancellation of the 17-inch model is dependent on higher resolution screens that won’t likely be available in mass quantities until later this year or early next. A higher resolution 15-inch could in theory replicate the large screen of a lower resolution display like the one currently found in the 17-inch.
Look for two other posts in the coming days detailing iOS 6 and Mountain Lion’s rumors. WWDC 2012 is set to be the biggest developer’s conference yet.

Unlike today’s other phone announcement, we can’t say we were expecting to see LG come out with something of its own — and it’s a bit of a doozy, at that. Samsung’s Korean rival decided not to let the Galaxy S III have the full spotlight for long, officially unleashing the Optimus LTE2. The mind-blowing portion of the spec sheet is its inclusion of 2GB RAM, a milestone we haven’t yet seen in a smartphone. Additionally, the LTE2 will feature the company’s “True HD IPS” display, WPC-backed wireless charging capabilities, Android 4.0 and a 2,150mAh battery that LG claims will increase the battery life by an astounding 40 percent. We haven’t received word on which CPU will be used, though we’re hopeful that a quad-core beast (or Krait, perhaps?) will complement the astounding amount of RAM. The LTE2 is due to land on at least three carriers in Korea sometime in mid-May, but we haven’t heard any pricing or additional country availability at this time. We’ll keep you posted as we learn more. In the meantime, check out LG’s Flickr page down below for more images, and start thinking of ways to take advantage of the extra horsepower.
