All I want to be able to do is view what I'm replying to in landscape mode, yet it seems to be an unfeasibly difficult thing to do on android.

I don't have FB. I use K9 mail, not Android's built-in email.

https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1344177492 Now try it when replying to a text message |
I'm on my third android device. Started with a HTC Legend, then went to a Google Nexus One. After that I bought a Sony Xperia Arc. I just force installed the international version of ICS onto it to get rid of the carriers bloat ware. I'll pick up a new phone in the new year, but pretty undecided how I want to go. I think I want to stay in the 4.2/4.3" screen size, but I definitely want multiple cores.

Her phone got the ICS update (we're on Sprint) just before she dropped it and shattered the screen. My phone, nor her new phone have yet to receive the ICS update. ARG. |

Why's it hard to do a screenshot? Girly small hands can't reach the button?
I can post screenshots later with proof it doesn't work on my phone... |

Ah thanks for proving my point mr hustler :)
Syrsly iPhone could do this since day 1 and Android on JellyBean STILL can't do it <facepalm> |
Oh, I see it now. If you weren't half retarded, this wouldn't matter. If you can't remember the topic your texting about, maybe you should stick with the iPhone. Don't forget your walking-helmet.

Which forces Apple users to use texts as an instant message substitute rattling off 5 word texts one after the other. For what? just so you can see what you are replying too? Have fun cluttering up the airwaves. I would rather have 3 lines of text so I can write down my complete thought, proof read what I wrote and edit easily. On the other hand, why dont you tell me how much stuff Android could do out of the box for years that iOS still cant? I heard you guys are finally getting turn by turn directions. Only took 3 years. :rolleyes: I have said it before and I will say it again, using iOS is like being a guest in your own house. |

It's ---- all to do with android vs iPhone either, it's a general UI glitch of which in android there's far to many for it to be pleasant to use. |

Hell, I don't even have to root my phone to install non market apps. How's flash support on iOS coming along? |
Oh and I really tried to not turn this into an iPhone vs android thread, I just wanted to know how to improve my android phone so it works more to my liking that's all :)

Oh and see my previous response, this isn't an android vs iOS thread.. In any case, the point stands. While it was alive the iPhone never had it. How much did that anger the end users especially since so many sites relied on it to present their content. Granted, flash was never intended to really be used on mobile devices. I hear you though, I dont want to get into it either. But some of the stuff is undeniable and is signature apple. Why? Because they can is not a reason. |

I've been running cm stuff for the last 4 years. I just read bug reports and upgrade accordingly. they started running nightly's which is pretty cool. It's like nix now on development releases.
I have a galaxy phone and have nothing but great things to say about it. It's been a remarkably durable phone. I have dropped it more times then i can count. AMOLED rocks. you get amazing picture and contrast and don't ever have to worry about breaking your screen. I wouldn't hesitate to load a cm rom on a samsung phone in warranty. especially with how durable my galaxy has been. if the main reason for swapping would be the input form i'm not sure i'd bother though. |

lol i guess the gs2 doens't have this
i have the epic4g. yeah well clearwire is dead and sprint has not gotten off their asses and done anything about it. i work in communications wireless stuff specifically and am familial with progression. My latency is terrible for one. my 3g's avg speed is about 200kpbs. i roam, a lot. I live in a city 1mil+, roaming agreement with other providers sucks. I may as well have some pay as you go bullshit because i think sprint cheeped out on their roaming agreements. my phone dies constantly cause it's searching for signal for the whole god damn day. insult to injury i pay for "premium data" and have for 2 years for nothing. perfectly happy with my phone. want to kick sprint in the junk for making me pay for stuff i can't use. company pays for half my phone though and soon as contract is up i will be on to breaking company iphones. |
Might not be flexible i guess.... but it IS an AMOLED.

nobody has the flexible one yet. samsung just started production of them. however the amoled screen is MUCH more durable to it's alternatives with the exception of gorilla glass.
Also i guess the Epic4g has a lot more durable design. It's pretty rare to see any with broken screens. |

Anyone else managed to silence the camera without silencing the rest of the phone Also why are there only 8 overall volume positions? I want more granularity, weirdly some apps are fine, but the launchers aren't. |
Peons measure their connection speeds in kbps.

It is the extent to which a larger entity is subdivided. For example, a yard broken into inches has finer granularity than a yard broken into fee Of low, common, or inferior quality. 2. a. Lacking in delicacy or refinement: coarse manners. b. Vulgar or indecent: coarse language. 3. Consisting of large particles; not fine in texture: coarse sand. 4. Rough, especially to the touch: a coarse tweed. It's not so much I want the camera silent, it's just stupid loud at whatever volume you pick. |
hell this thread sucks.
also i hate when people use "granularity" to refer to obtaining finer detail. |

i said I hate it, not that it was wrong. you can talk about the granularity of sandpaper or fish tank rocks or milled corn if you wish.
android content: I am annoyed that both the Galaxy Nexus and Samsung Galaxy S3 are both almost good enough for me. Why no quad core in the S3 dammit? I guess I wait for a next generation Nexus phone. |

I have a dual core 1.5GHz phone, and I do not miss speed. Maybe more memory, this phone only has 32GB and no SD card slot.
|
On a semi-related note, my phone came with a 1500mAh charger, and charges from 10% to 100% in 70 minutes flat. Loving it.

:bowrofl:
From what I've read, there isn't much difference in speed with everyday usage for the one x, quad vs dual. The reason we haven't received the quad, is whatever chip manufacturer makes the soc hasn't made an lte- compatible chip yet. |
Anyone know why my phone (SGS2), won't adjust the earpiece volume mid call unless I move the handset away from my head until the screen lights up.
Then and only then will the volume change. This happens on stock firmware, CM7, CM9 and MIUI. |
I'm rather hesitant to bring this up again, but what the hell it's the internet.
Apple seizes on Samsung internal document as proof of mimicry -- Engadget Page 26 on the embeded .PDF Even Samsung don't like the way the screen goes full keyboard, yet 2 more versions of the phone later and no fix :facepalm: |
