CVByrne Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Here lads it's Christmas, a new leaf, enough of this childish playground stuff. So we'll draw a line under this year's iPhone Android wars. Have a good Christmas all, and Happy New Year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 I don't come into this thread as much as i used to because any decent discussion gets over-taken with android talk and then lost. I find it boring, not because I am an apple fan but because I want to talk about apps, the future of the phone and so on. I don't go into an Xbox thread and spout about PS3 or vice versa. Its obsessive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 i think cv just brings up an interesting debate really, theres nothing wrong with being pro-android, or pro-apple i think its just interesting and helps those undecided which is better out of the two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b23avfc Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 I agree. But if nobody else is interesting in debating then why try? Some of us just want to enjoy what we have while we have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limpid Posted January 3, 2011 Administrator Share Posted January 3, 2011 I'm a bit surprised that no-one has mention the alarm bug which has affected iOS 4 phone users for the last three days. example link Non-repeating alarms have simply not been working. Apple have said that the problem will be patched today (as long as you aren't jail broken of course). I'd expect that when they (finally) fixed the alarm problems from the end of daylight savings that they would test that they hadn't introduced new bugs. This isn't an anti-Apple rant, I'd feel the same wherever I saw such a piss poor ability to test. BTW, other alarm apps worked fine, so this wasn't a phone/OS problem, just a lack of testing in an alarm app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted January 3, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted January 3, 2011 I haven'tnoticed a problem, but then again the daylight savings problem didn't affect me either. But yeh, that's pretty poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

limpid Posted January 3, 2011 Administrator Share Posted January 3, 2011 Almost as bad as SMS messages being randomly sent to other contacts than the ones you intended. Piss poor. Absolutely it would be, if the SMS app had been patched less than two months ago for what is from the users POV exactly the same fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykeyb Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Or if They knew about the problem 6 months ago and only had it down as a moderate problem. Apple, Google........same poor support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limpid Posted January 3, 2011 Administrator Share Posted January 3, 2011 I absolutely agree, but I was talking about testing, specifically regression testing, not support. I thought you didn't like people brining Android stuff into this thread, but as you have, the SMS bug would only affect phones using the stock SMS app. Many phones are running a manufacturer's SMS app as part of a GUI overlay, not the stock app, so only a small number of users could have been affected. Poor support from Google, but not an issue for most handsets or users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykeyb Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Both Apple and Google are guilty of producing buggy OS. Neither can claim any moral high ground on this one. I thought both threads could be used to debate the pros and cons of said platforms which is why the iPhone users ended up creating another iPhone only thread. If the rules have since changed then I must have missed it. How would you define a small number of users? Thousands, hundreds of thousands?. A bug in one of the core features of a handset ie messaging which Google knew about 6 months ago and have not had it as a priority to fix. If it was a Microsoft or apple problem I suspect that they would being ripped apart for it and quite rightly so. Like I said both Apple and Google have failed their users on these bugs......really really poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limpid Posted January 3, 2011 Administrator Share Posted January 3, 2011 I don't understand why you are trying to compare the two. This is a bug which was fixed two months ago and has re-occurred. in that space of time. It's poor, it's not finger pointing, it would be poor from whoever did it. If you'd like to discuss the android bug could we do it in the other thread where I had already posted about it? It's easier than doing it in both places. Microsoft are a different case. They just don't fix bugs, they try to get white-hats not to divulge exploits even after the black hats are actively attacking their user base. They are routinely criticised for it. They don't care because their user base is entrenched through their illegal business activities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted January 11, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted January 11, 2011 I don't think the battery on the iPhone4 is too bad, for a smartphone that is. I usually get 2 days out of a charge, as long as I don't constantly use it. And when you're watching/listening to stuff it lasts for ages. I went to Ireland over xmas, via ferry. So the journey was about 12-14 hours (4 hours to the ferry this side, 4 hour ferry crossing, and 4 hours from the port to where we stayed on the other side, plus gaps in between waiting for the ferry etc). Anyway, i used my iphone more or less constantly throughout the journey. Watched 3 films, and listened to podcasts or music for the rest of it. I had 10% battery when I arrived at my destination. That's really not too bad at all. Playing games and browsing the net is what really kills the battery, but that was the first long journey I'd made with my phone, I was pleasantly surprised.
