They have apps like this on the play store... at least three for smart stay (sounds useless to me, but meh). Some of these can be done by Tasker, some are already features of other phones and have been.
I just had this discussion with a friend from work. The only reason I'd get a Samsung phone would be due to the specs, not the software. It's all android... Only limitation is the hardware.

Yeah , I chose the Evo for the hardware , not sense . I knew I'd flash AOSP no matter if I got the SIII or the Evo . The only reason I considered the SIII was for the features (Excluding the GUI) and 2GB of RAM .

The only features they have are software, and that's already been replicated. No worries, though -- Evo LTE all the way!

Am I the only one? I mean...I've been on Android for the past 2 years. Since the HTC Hero came out. I've went thru the Hero...the Moment...the Evo...the Evo Shift...the Epic...the Nexus S...and now the 3D. All of these phones I have rooted, modded, customized and ran thru the ringer except for the 3D.
I just dont have a desire to do it anymore. When I was rooting...I was doing something different to my phone every other day. Flashing a different ROM...flashing a different mod...changing something....constant wipes...ect. My purpose for rooting all the previous devices was to make them bigger, better and faster. I dont have that desire with my 3D. It honestly works wonderfully and its as fast as I could possibly want. I dont use Wireless tether and when I do its when I travel in which I dont have a problem paying the few bucks for the service as I need it.
So is it just me? Is root that popular to the majority? I'd assume yes on XDA but I wanted to ask.
Completely unrelated...I'm completely EXCITED because I found a sleek black gel cover for my 3D that will still fit in my leather holster. Complete protection and convienence...NIIIIIIIIIIIIICE!!!
Allow me to be the first to say: cool story bro.

I still had the desire to root, but I'm losing the need to flash. The 3d in stock form is great just the way it is.
I can definitely see your position. After a while the phones start coming with the features you want and its needed less to mod it because the feature is now built in.
I get that... I personally haven't hit that point and i know many others haven't either. But, I get it.
But, with the way some companies are doing business its still required by some of us. (Like requiring your phone to be a specific chipset, even though your phones chipset could easily handle the app.)
Are We Not Phones?
We are EVO.
ARE WE NOT PHONES?!
3DEVO!
I refuse to have an unrooted phone because I love creating my own personal themes. I try to change the look of all, or most of, my apps. I always change the font. I hate the bloat put onto our phones. I need to have a personal splash screen, boot animations, and my own sounds. I have to have my apps backed up w/ data in case some unforseen incident occurs that destroys my phone. I need wifi tether, or hotspot. Now, roms are what I don't really need, but I always find something that I want, so I start flashing.
They why are you here?
E3D
The time this consumes is almost reason enough to not root your phone
If it wasnt for themes and CM7 I dont think I would root the 3D either...
Hurry CM7!!!!
Okay, now to answer your question:
I am only rooted for CM7 and to try MIUI on capable hardware... Oh yeah and HAVS/UV kernels... And for tethering that I rarely used. Otherwise I do agree with you, for the most part.

I keep reading that you guys root for tethering, I thought that the 3d came with a mobile hotspot and that you can tether away free of charge since data is unlimited
(currently awaiting my 3D to arrive)
Simple answer. Nope. We're still asked to pay for tethering even with Unlimited Data Plans.

Complicated answer? ^^
So to get free tethering I must root? Any specific app they can't trace?

I root to remove bloatware. If I don't want an app I shouldn't be forced into it because of its popularity. If I want it I will add it, there's a market for a reason
Sure the stock evo is great but I always like a little more customizations. With root you can save battery, get wifi tether and USB tether, and pretty much do anything you so desire...
I dont flash a rom everyday or even every week. I find a good ROM I really like (currently VIPER) and then I only really flash when they come out with big updates for that ROM.
You don't have to be a flashaholic. There are a lot of good things that can come from rooting: No more Bloatware, better battery life, quicker updates. I love stock sense but enjoy having small modifications like a circle mod for the battery and CRT.
I did enjoy having CM7 with my hero prior to this phone. Some of that might just be that the Hero was so slow and CM7 made the phone ok.
Each to their own but rooting has a lot more going for it then not going for it.

When Sense 4.0 comes out for the new phones and not the EVO 3D you will want to root, because it will get ported. No Sense 4.0 doesn't exists yet but it will someday unless Apple patents it first.
Im on Sprint and im trying to decide what phone to get im debating wether to choose the HTC EVO 3D, Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4g Touch, or the Nexus Prime (which is likely to come to sprint at some point). What phone do you guys think would be good for a person that likes a lot of custom roms and high preformance phones with a fast CPU, and GPU.
I have an Evo 3d and i have nothing but touch screen problems. I always have to cycle the screen on and off or pull the status bar down to get it to recognize any input. If i was you I would stay away from HTC devices, at least the EVO ones.

Well im currently using a HTC Hero which is still fully functioning with gingerbread, but im leaning towards choosing the Evo 3d because of the dev support here on XDA for it, its incredible how many roms are already available for it.
I'm a nexus s user... pure Google experience is just awesome! Speed, fast, sexy! You should wait for prime as it has dual core gpu and a super fast processor. The most important thing is it is very easy to root.

True Google experience is incredible im running it on my phone currently ,but i also enjoy switching between sense and aosp, i might just choose the nexus prime because of the updates it gets but im still not entirely sure on that, hmm i might have to wait till samung and google unveil the nexus prime.
Nexus Prime. Wait a few more days for the official announcement. You won't even have to think about it.
i think the nexus series is the easiest to root and flash custom roms
apparently the one x on att is getting update to android 4.0.4 which also has a fix in it to remove the bottom menu bar, the way rom developers have been doing. wounder if the evo will get the same thing.

Yeah, if even that long. The funny thing is that the change is so simple (go find runandhides thread, he shows how he did it) that anyone that knows how to decompile/recompile an all can do it. Let alone HTC, it shouldn't have taken them this long.

No I must agree. You may be mistaken about what is broken with multitasking on our phones. The One X fix removes the black menu bar at bottom of screen in some apps & moves recent apps to a long press of the button. Our multitasking problem is Sense not storing the state of apps once we switch from one to another so that when we do switch or multitask back to original opened app it has to completely restart. This fix does nothing to help that and I don't see HTC releasing one anytime soon seeing as that is how they intended it to work, so from their pov it is working properly.

Have you guys even read the HTC ONE X update thread or did you just read the post the OP posted and see what it contained?
Go read the XDA thread please
I know it has nothing to do with the menu button. Its a RAM issue, and its being reported as being fixed by multiple users.. Go read the thread.
Being "Katty" gets "Katty" responses. Don't make assumptions about others' knowledge
Nothing in that android central article says anything about multitasking being fixed by this update..Now if you want to find those threads where people are reporting improvements then I will gladly read them.

I agree, nothing in the android central article says anything about it. I didnt reference that article. I referenced threads right here on the XDA website.
The discussion regarding multitasking is HTC's "memory optimization". That means the HOX boots with more ram available, not multitasking being what it should be - multitasking.
I really like this phone. I can deal with a moderate task killer. I don't use the phone like I do a computer. All I ask for is a level of multitasking where I can browse the web, change an album or two, send a message, and return to browsing the web - seamlessly. There is clearly enough ram, let us use it.

Unfortunately HTC's current next generation smart phone's have been a big flop. I'm sure this update will make the current user base happy, but it will definitely not attract new users. HTC has been to slow with its updates to fix current problems and unfortunately it took me to install CM10 to finally use multitasking the way it was meant to be. Htc better fix their problems quickly or they'll be the next Nokia.

I knew I wasn't going crazy. My ram percentage was always under 25 percent. Something was very off about that. That's the same percentage my Evo 4g gave off with the same apps installed. Sometimes my Evo 4g was better. Smh. Multitasking won't be updated by HTC until October I bet

About multitasking from what I just saw over there they are getting more free ram avail from get go but HTC still did not make it so apps won't reload but that was one persons account...someone on AP said it was completely fixed...so its hard to say so many people seem confused...

no... i wish I live in really rural area not may folks around at all with smartphones anyway.
I was dismayed to see HTC's lackadaisical approach to update though I'm not sure how Samsung's track record matches up.
I'd hate to switch just for the lure of something different only to find it was a step backward.
Oh I see. The thing that bugs me the most on this phone is the lack of proper multitasking. That's about my only issue and it is big enough that I would consider switching. Before you decide, try using touchwiz on a floor model first because it can be rather clunky to use after using touch. I use a Samsung phone for work and an HTC for personal and still have to remind myself that each phone does things differently everyday.

Would there ever be a camera that could use front and back cameras at the same time? Or app? Do it have to be a powerful phone maybe like note 2 ect? Do you think such feature can be run on a low end phone maybe like HTC evo 4g?
I know gs4 can do this but what about other non Samsung phones?
Could this ever happen?

That doesn’t depend on Android or power.
That depends on the Hardware manufacturer. Most phones have only 1 hardware controller for both cameras.
Like the HTC Evo 4g… It’s not possible with this phone.
I heard this feature will be available on SSGS4 ?
Yes Samsung S4 supports this.
