Qwpzxjor1 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I can't get 3G at all. None of us can, we ordered 4 with Vodafone and not once have any of us seen a 3G connection. Went back to my parents house this weekend and couldn't even load the footy scores. **** Vodafone / Apple. If we return these phones now I'm very very tempted to just get an S3.

CVByrne Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I'm back on an S3 now after the Nexus 4 debacle. I forgot how awesome this phone is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Lions_Roar Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I actually got to use an I phone 5 yesterday and I couldn't get back to my s3 quick enough. It was just awful! I don't get the size of it, felt like a remote control. Just think and long. Web pages looked awful on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vodafone are pretty shit for signal. You could try ringing them and complaining you've got no signal. My ex girlfriend got a Vodafone phone and had basically no signal at her house. So she rang them up and complained and they sent her this signal booster box thing. I dunno how it works, but it did work, she ended up with better signal than I had on O2 at the time.

dubbs Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Right it's upgrade time. I'm currently using an iPhone 4, fairly happy with it, just a bit slow these days. So I looked at iPhone 5, still a great looking phone, but it just seems 'old' like nothing major has changed since iPhone 4 came out. Tempted by an S3, but open to suggestion. I use my phone as an alround piece of kit, work, home and the occasional game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted November 23, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted November 23, 2012 I have an S3 and moved from an iPhone 4. It's **** fantastic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubbs Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 What's the best feature if the s3 and what do you miss from the iPhone 4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted November 23, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted November 23, 2012 God, dunno. There's a lot. The screen I guess. The 4 seems outrageously tiny if you go back to one after using an s3 for a bit. But there's plenty. Google Now, the OS in general, Chrome, camera, widgets, live wallpaper, better youtube app, better music player. I could go on. I miss nothing. Honestly. I do miss that it doesn't fit into my docking station hifi thingy. But the iPhone 5 wouldn't either so I'd have that problem anyway. Don't get me wrong, I'm not like the other Android guys who hate apple. I have nothing against them and I loved my iPhones when I had them. But there's no way I'd go back... for now.

dubbs Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 What's great about Android? That's not a provocative statement, I genuinely know nothing about it. Looking at Samsung S3, Galaxy Note 2 or maybe a HTC. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

limpid Posted November 23, 2012 Administrator Share Posted November 23, 2012 This one is to say how good your android is and how evil Apple is. Not to ask for help Comparisons between iphones and android phones (or others) are fine, a question which is definitively about something else is off-topic.

mykeyb Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Difficult to see how you could answer Dubbs question without making some reference to Iphones as that would surely be his reference point - so wouldnt that be a comparison? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limpid Posted November 28, 2012 Administrator Share Posted November 28, 2012 Difficult to see how you could answer Dubbs question without making some reference to Iphones as that would surely be his reference point - so wouldnt that be a comparison? The question was "What's so great about Android?", not "What's so good about Android compared to iphones?". Dubbs didn't say that he owned an iphone. I could answer that question easily without reference to iphones. It's not like iphones are a baseline for mobile OS design. I'd probably only mention iphones if I was comparing closed silo lock-in as a marketing strategy rather than phone OSes. However the question has been answered several times in other topics in this forum, even in the last few weeks. Even if Dubbs didn't want to search, a new topic would be preferable as I'm sure others would find the discussion useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Lions_Roar Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Thanks just had a text from 3 offering me an iPhone 5 for free with 500 mins and 5000 texts for 39 quid a month. Might be of interest to some on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
