[LG Revolution] majorpay:
Once again, I'll add my half-pence and say: "This doesn't surprise me."

Well, I guess I'll be eligible for upgrade at the end of 2013 :D:D:p

Let me go further and just straight up vent about Android in general:

Not to sound like a downer here, but is anyone else getting a little tired of the Androidosphere? I was always a big lover of Android, but man... My Nook Color has been acting all funky, my phone has been acting weird... Everything seems to be going to hell in a hand-basket as time goes on! It seems like the devs are just on a perpetual mission to fix what a multi-billion dollar company can't get straight the first time around (or second, or third, or fourth, or....)!

Let me explain:

1. My phone, when I try to make a call, goes blank, then after a few seconds returns to the stock lock screen (skipping WidgetLocker), then I can make a call, but sometimes after making a call, the 4G never kicks in again.

2. We know that the phone reboots occasionally at random. I have this problem too. We also know that on stock it does this too :/

[EDIT 2.5] - How could I forget this... It's probably my favorite: Try sticking your phone in your pocket for an hour and see how it suddenly turns into a piece of magma burning a hole in the battery - what's up with that?

3. My Nook Color ... I don't even know where to begin ... Let's start with the Market crashing every time I look at anything, or trying to update anything, weird screen issues, and apps occasionally disappearing.

4. Flash? What's up with Adobe throwing in the towel instead of going with a mobile platform that works? Tablets are the hottest thing since sliced bread, but they get more crippled by the day.

I hate Apple... I really don't want to deal with iTunes... I don't want that crap near my computer, my phone, or my tablet, and I certainly don't want them telling me what I can and can't do with a device I own, so what's the alternative? Am I just too far behind in the Android world? Are things getting better on the newer equipment, or is it just the same old story with people being the beta testers for the new OS (ICS)? Where is Google's promise to unify the architectures both old and new for one standard? Fragmentation once again...

Where is Microsoft in all this? They seem to be still hiding under a rock. The elusive promise of a W8 tablet that's supposed to solve everyone's issues, what, 5 years after the fact? Or a phone being released with 2 year old technology and no 4G is supposed to woo us all?

I've resorted to using my phone as mainly a tether device for my laptop. I know LG is to blame, but look around, Android doesn't seem to be without massive issues on any device?

Anyone feeling me here? Am I crazy? Is this all because I insist on using turbo charging scripts? Should I start over with my phone and my Nook?

Or is it because I'm sick as hell with some crappy flu and cold combo?

Sorry for the vent, but damn if this crap isn't frustrating as hell... Just getting tired of rebuilding devices... People don't say this crap because of OS loyalty, but I think I'm saying what so many people are feeling. Am I wrong?

(I could go on a rant about modern PC game manufacturers thinking we were beta testers as well, but that would be totally off topic).
