Iphone -----> Note 2 unbiased stanless opinion

[jalamanta]

fukk Android geeky stans. "Learn" how to use your phone. GTFO.

iOS user experience is the most complete solution on the market, whether you are advanced user or not.

Apple generally makes devices that pleasant to use in real life and that sell well.

Samsung and other third party companies produce devices only for selling. They give two fukks how it works and what a person using it experiencing.

If not for Samsung's money which they poured in advertising nobody would've bought their plastic bullshyt.

We know how other android companies like HTC are doing.

Apple products in general are made for the stupid general public and old people.


Which is genius cause the majority of humans are stupid and don't know much about tech anyway


can't knock it






fuk Steve Jobs tho

People always say this, but it's ignorance. Just because apple has streamlined the mobile experience doesn't mean that their products are generally made for dumb fukks or tech illiterate old folk. Also iOS is much different from osx, which can never be called "simple" in my opinion

I had the 1st iphone, the 3rd iphone, the 3gs, the 4 and the 4s. I also have an iPad. This is my first droid.

This phone is

But this operating system is

Things aren't as refined as IOS. Its the little things.

-Like I looked up a store on my phone. Find the store but when I try to click the number, its not automatically selected like on the iphone.

-Sometimes you get miss hits like I'll click the home button and it'll take me to the music player or some shyt

-Apps don't work as well or don't exist. I had a poker app called poker journal, that shyt is not on googleplay and the alternatives suck. I had the stronglifts and istayfit workout apps and neither of them shyts exist. The alternatives suck.

-No native visual voicemail and the apps for it suck.

-They said they have an app to sync from itunes, which they do, but they trying to charge me to sync more than 1 playlist

-hard as fukk to find accesories (note 2 problem, since its so new, not a biggie)

-voice recognition software isn't as good. my wife and my sister have hood names and i've been trying for 4 days now to get the phone to recognize it with no luck. iphone recognized it on first try. this prevents me from using the cars bluetooth phone system effectively. also, you ask siri something and she comes back like (the answer is...). the s-voice software just say (here is the answer).

overall i'm happy with the switch because apple has no phablet. if they did, i'd switch back. but the phone itself from the screen to s-note to multiwindows to LTE is

i got the same phone and

1.It does take you to the dialer if you click on a # after googling a store.I dont know why your phone isnt doing it

2.Apps work better on android IMO.too many times i used to have to reinstall apps cause they wouldnt open or kept force closing on iOS,this has never happened to me on android but i agree they are missing certain apps.they have all the well knwon ones but its certain littles gems that iOS has that missing

3.I had visual voicemail pre installed on my phone but i think it was a part of the tmobile bloatware(im guessing you arent on tmo so you dont have it)

4.tell me what accessories you looking for and ill drop the link to it.I think everything except for the smart dock has been released already

5.S-Voice is trash,just use google now.Its piff and better then siri IMO

just play around with the phone and do some youtube vid for tricks and tips cause its alot shyt you can do and tweak with the phone.This my 3rd android and im still finding out new shyt about the phone so i know with this being your first you hant even scratched the surface yet

 

[Hiphoplives4eva]

for a more refined OS experience, you should have tried a Windows phone. Maybe next time.

 

[iamstr8fire]

When I switched from iOS to Android I was about the quality of some of the apps, but I've been able to find equal or better alternatives for the stuff I used.

I will say that iOS is more refined IMO but they are with the functionality (unless you jailbreak it).

See I understand you can tweak your phone and it has a lot if hidden tricks, but I don't feel like finding the right tweak or looking at YouTube to learn how to do simple things. Android is nice but iOS is more stable and it almost never crashes, plus it's easy to use. I get what your saying because I had an android for years but lets not act like I'm crazy or stupid for liking iOS better.

[OH SOHH TRILL]

SO TALK ABOUT THE DIFFERENCES IN THE TWO. NO DATA COMPARISONS OR NOTHING. YOU TALKED ABOUT NOT FINDING APPS FOR IT. THAT COULD JUST BE LAZY APP DEVELOPERS THEMSELVES. SOME NEED TIME TO ADJUST THINGS FOR SUPPORT ON NEW PHONES. THE SCREEN SIZE ISN'T EXACTLY A NORMAL SIZE TO WORK WITH.

The reason doesn't matter. The apps I'm use to using aren't available, as a consumer, why should I care why? And these are apps I've been using for at least 2-3 years so newness isn't an issue.

Like I said, the device itself is great but the user experience is not as good as IOS. If apple makes a phablet, I'm switching back instantly.

Breh I been fukking with iOS alot longer then android and to say iOS is more stable and almost never crashes is a flat out lie

Jellybean on the Note 2 is the most stable and smooth OS ive had on any of the smartphones ive owned(4 iphones and 3 androids)

Problem is alot of yall had them cheap or mid range android phones and yall trying to compare them to an iphone which is a high end smartphone

And you can like iOS more, theres nothing at all wrong with that.I still have and use my 4.Im not like those dudes that hate on shyt they never owned or used its just my opinion that high end android phones shyts all over iphones thats all

 

[OH SOHH TRILL]

I forgot my biggest gripe. How in the fiddle sticks is there not a spell checker on this joint? I'm a horrible speller so this is terrible for my efficiency. I have to read my work emails like 5 times before I send them from my phone. I've yet to find an app that'll spell check across all device apps.

This fukkin thread is hilarious

 

[LiIZaneFan1978]

I traded in the iphone 5 for the note 2 about a week ago, and not on on no gay shyt but I wanted to cry the first couple days when I saw how shytty android os is. I felt trapped and betrayed by this bullshyt

Simple shyt like autocorrect doesnt even exist unless you "download a keyboard (wtf)" for 4 bucks from their app store. I downloaded it and autocorrect still sucks. Changing wallpapers or screen brightness became fukkin 10 step processes. No visual vmail. I downloaded some app that overrode system settings and had my shyt stuck on mute smh. Getting ads in my notifications. The browser is buggy and double tapping rarely zooms in on what youre actually trying to see. Trying to move the cursor from point a to point b takes like 10 times longer than it should and half the time i just end up saying fukk it. Etc etc These are all issues that ios/os x nikkas never have to deal with, apple products just work.

That being said, after I learned my way around the os a bit im glad as fukk I made that switch and I aint going back to apple for phones until they lace us with a large retina phablet. I copped the adw launcher and an ios theme cuz I hated the flat square icons so now my home screen is as pretty as it is large. I was watchubg mnf on xbl, hit a button on my phone while a vid was playing, and that shyt started playing on the tv. Wtf. Shocked and awed. The itunes thing I havent tried to tackle yet, I still tote my 4 as an ipod and just rock with pandora on the note. I didnt have siri for long but s voice plus the Google talk bar is shyttin. This large ass screen is shyttin. The number of customization options is shyttin.

Until the iphone max or ipad tiny with voice drops im good on ios


Bottom line
