That was exactly what I was thinking off

I'm not saying android sucks or I hate the note, I'm just saying that the OS the note runs on is sorta old and lacks a lot when compared to iOS. There are ups to certain things like android has flash which I'm really thankful for. Still its just not as feature packed, maybe it's just the jealousy talking, hopefully it will be cured with ICS

Again, what features are you referring to with regards to ios?

Being an owner of an ipad 2, I am curious as to what features ios has that I may have missed out on.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] torqu3e:
Fabu, in this whole cribbing session you have not mentioned one thing that is there on iOS that you miss on Android. Could you start now please?

And this comes from a user of a note and a ipad 2 and get to play around with a bunch of other android/ios devices in my capacity at work.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jock23:
If anything its the other way round for me. It's the os on the ipad/Iphone that stops me getting one of those over an android.

Plus the fact I would have to use itunes which I hate with a passion.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Spo0f:
Come on mate, someone have already asked which apps and os-wise things are better? Give us the features that the ios almighty has.

I still have not seen one occasion where you have pointed what features you think android is lacking......?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] fabu09:
I have made a thread about missing ios features on android any ways for starters the web browser, it would be nice to have the reader features and a nicer ui also should have the define word features for words we don't understand built in the phone

Look guys I don't wanna start a ios vs android war or neither do I wanna fight any one here I'm just saying there are some features the android should add from ios just so its more anticing. once again I'm not saying android sucks it just could do better

Ps I'm not comparing the note to the new ipad as I know its not fair the new ipad just came out while the note came out last year I'm just comparing to ipads in general

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Zamboney:
Hehe, I'm laughing hysterically at you! iOS has been exactly the same for five years and you claim Android needs to be updated? A define word feature in a browser makes you complain about the OS? On Android you can have different browsers with plugins, so use the one that's best for you. On iOS you can't even do that!

You're a typical, ignorant Apple user so go buy an iPad, I'm not gonna.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] intruda119:
So is it just the browser with the word thingy you have a problem with?

Please list in detail.

So what?

You've started a new thread and just kept saying that Android isn't "up to par", and then failed to list any areas where this is the case.

If you want to discuss *here*, in *this thread* - have the courtesy to do what has been asked and list out specifically where you think the OS is lacking. Referring to some other thread, and expect everyone else to go off and "find" it (since you've not even bothered to link to it) is just absurd.

Be specific!

You basically are referring to two features browser and ibooks. Android stock browser is decent but if you didn't like it you can always replace it with opera, maxathon, dolphin etc.

With regards to ibooks, I don't agree with you. Try fb reader m, Aldiko, etc. Ibooks is nice on the eye.., but when you have over 4,000 ebooks like I do, good luck finding it on ibooks. Android book readers are superior in my opinion.

Having said that I don't see these as the "tons" of features that you refer to. Just two and both are highly debatable.

Bear in mind, I use an ipad2 as well so I am familiar with ios.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Zamboney:
Feels like Apple is really threatened by Samsung and paying shills to go in and promote iPad on different forums and social media.

This dude is 100% an Apple user. None of the stuff he complains about is OS related, just a couple of apps of which i prefer the Android versions. Lol!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] fabu09:
and no apple is not paying me a single cent, I have been on this forum since I bought my galaxy note and if ur so blind to notice the lack in the OS I will not take the blame

I might have a change in opinion when ICS comes for the note but until then all I can say bout the 2.3 is that its good (cas I have used N97mini and it sucks and trust me when I say suck) but it can do way better

And I love my Galaxy Note, just not the OS it runs

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] intruda119:
ibooks, dictionary is the reason you thunk android is lacking. And just like the last thread you didn't write your cons/pros in detail. I think anyone with half a brain knows android is 10x better than any iphone /apple product.

I live in Tallahassee aka college central where people buy ipads/iPhone/Mac books just to walk around campus with. Not for anything productive, to ****ing get noticed.

Its a fashion statement, and makes apple fans look retarded and truly brainwashed.

Your opinion is your opinion but facts are there's nothing apple can do better than android. Gone head and jailbreak, then it becomes a replica of android.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] FRlTZ:
Let's do a comparison of the 2 OSs.

iOS: Install custom OS - Warranty VOID, Intstall custom shop - Warranty VOID, Install ANYTHING outside Apples store - Warranty VOID, get some water on the device - Warranty VOID, Sending to service with anything not stock or not from Applestore - Warranty VOID....hmmm..this does not look good....

Android: Install custom OS - no issues, just please install OEM OS before service if possible, Custom shop, unsecure sources - no issues, Install outside Market - No issued, get some water on device - no worries, it still works...

As a former....(Shrivers) Apple iPhone user...I must say that nothing makes me more sad then looking on a iPhone or iDevice from a distance...Overpriced, porly designed, and crappy warranty....ugh...Android for life I say..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] fabu09:
I know how to use my android and I just want to end this comparison between ios and android since no one agrees with me. I have looked for alternatives on the store but nothing was good they all seemed the same just different looks. I just want something with good auto correct to correct me when I make mistakes as I type pretty fast. so unless u can help with my keyboard issue get lost if you just ask me to sell my note cas I'm not gonna its too good to sell and the iPhone screen sucks size wise

I'm not asking for help just recommendations from what you guys use and think is the best I'm not concerned bout looks just the auto correct thing.

Just a typical Apple shill. Doesn't even know you can change the keyboard on Android since it's impossible on iOS.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] foxmeister:
Ok, I read your other thread and that was just as vague and nonsensical as this one! ;)

You seem to have failed to grasp one of Androids core strengths over iOS, and that is if you don't like the way a default app does something, you can change it.

The default browser doesn't have a "Reader" mode, or a dictionary - however, there's an extension for Dolphin HD that does, so use that instead, and it provides a dictionary too. I'm certain other browsers do too.

Default SMS doesn't support your Emoji emoticons - there are plenty of third party apps that do.

Don't like the keyboard - try one of the dozens of alternatives in the Market!

Push email - the default Android clients work perfectly well with push email for the most part, and there are dozens of alternatives in the Market.

Try doing the same thing on iOS, where you can't replace default apps. Android is about choice, whereas iOS is about conformity - that's not to say that one is necessarily better than the other, but you pays your money and you takes your choice!

Looking at iOS - where are the widgets? Far more important and useful (as far as I'm concerned at least) than a "reader" mode on the browser. Where are the apps like Overskreen or Stick It!?

I'm not denigrating iOS - I think it's good, but there are plenty of places where Android is stronger than iOS and vice versa, but the handful that you've "highlighted" are so utterly trivial and easily dealt with it is untrue.

Each iteration of iOS and Android will likely draw upon the strengths of the other - just like when Apple "nicked" the Android notification system!

This competition is good because it drives ideas and development.

Thank you Dave for the long reply shows that you cared but lets just stop with the comparsions I lose you guys win, I just needed some advice on the keyboard I have looked around in the play store but most things don't seem to fit me, if some kind soul is nice enough to recommend a alternative they use I'll be thankful enough I am sick of installing and uninstalling keyboard apps already

i personally am a big fan of swype, you can enable it in keyboard settings!

Not interested in swype but I did try a few

One I'm currently using is smart keyboard pro which I heard was good but not true. I mean its I'm not that fantastic. I did try go keyboard which was a waste of time. I just want something that I can type really quick on and it corrects me, like I heard the ICS stock keyboard is really good but untill ICS is out what can I do?

Swiftkey x is a fantastic keyboard, particularly in respect to the autocomplete function.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sprintuser1977:
My two pennies: granted the first iPhone put everyone on their heels and it was a game changer and im glad it came along. Without it we wouldn't be where we are today. But at this point android has been relentless in upgrading itself and IOS just simply is outclassed. I think it still boils down a lot to personal preference as IOS is just simpler and more straight forward and less customizable.

Apple is a genius at branding and marketing for sure though. They could put a apple logo on a big donkey testicle and people would buy it. Anyway, the iPhone is a good phone, IOS is a good system, I just prefer android just like any person with a decent sized brain :-)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] npras42:
I think you're seriously deluded about the benefits of ios but you wanted help with a keyboard so I also advise Swiftkey X (Phone). It has all the ios-like autocorrect things plus more - I honestly think on the auto-correct front it is superior to ios. I'm not a massive fan of the layout/design though.

Personally I don't use that myself and use Smart Keyboard Pro with English dictionary but I see you don't like that. You do realise that the dictionary is an extra download from the store right?

I like Smart Keyboard because it lets you remove the period and comma keys from the bottom row of the keyboard. I always hate those keys because I would always press them with my thumb when reaching for the spacebar so all.my.sms.messages.would.look.like.this.

It does have auto-correct but I would concede that its not as good as ios or Swiftkey X.

Somewhere in the middle is ThumbKeyboard. Has some really good personalisation touches and a really good auto-correct but I was getting FCs with it and I would still.get.the.problem.with.pressing.period.so.stopped.using.it.

This thread should end.

EDIT: I'd also like to point out that I also had the problem with pressing the period key accidentally on my iphone 3gs, so in that respect I am much more accurate at typing on my Note than I was on the 3gs.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ChodTheWacko:
Fabu09,

I thought I'd point out something for your future posts.

People in this thread have actually been pretty civil, I think.

The Note, nor any piece of technology, perfectly matches anyone.

And if you genuinely don't like it, you shouldn't be using it.

The 'Sell your Note and get an ipad if you like that better' isn't an insult -

it's common sense.

if you are going to make a post saying that you like X over Y, because X

has something Y doesn't, then you really MUST say what that is.

It's a lot like iphone people who say, 'my phone is better because it has

apps your phone doesn't.' My immediate response is, 'What app do you use

that you can't get on Android?' Most of the time, they just give me a blank

look. That's a fanboy. It's not just phones - it happens with cameras,

computers, cars, etc, etc.

Now if that person had said, 'I like this app' - and there's no Android

equivalent (and yes, that still happens)', then okay, Good for you.

One point for you.

That fact that you aren't giving many reasons to back your point up makes

you look like a fanboy. I'm not saying you are, but the way you are

arguing/defending makes you look like one.

You finally bought up that you didn't like the keyboard, and that's fine.

I'll be honest and say that I haven't found a keyboard I'm 100% satisfied

with either. I'm using thumb, but I'd use swiftkey X if I didn't also have

the 'keep hitting the period when I space' problem too.

But you said there are 'many features' that you want, and you don't back that

up. If you bring up specific things, then we can help you. If you don't

bring up specific things, then what else can we do but shrug our shoulders

and say, 'Quit complaining, nothing is perfect?'

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mdrjr:
Yes.

[Sarcasm]

For instance I hate how hard is to root an android phone. You either have to flash a kernel or find a exploit that works. When you have those exploits you have to download stuff from google (adb) upload the software to the phone and manually install that. I HATE THAT.

Its so bad that we have access to our devices.

on iPhone side all you have to do is point to a site and get jailbroken.

I'll make a petition to google create such a nice flaw on browser. We'll make rooting easier.

Thank you but I was just voicing out my opinion and as no sees it or agrees with it then its fine. I don't get why people are so defensive with android I mean I didn't say it sucks its pretty good. I came from using a nokia and the os there defined the word sucks. There are some tiny things from my ipod that I like to be on my note because, I don't know the note just feels like a tablet phone because of the screen size and my mind always compares it with the iPad and I guess I just want my note to be better than the iPad like feature wise and everything so I would use my note as my basic device.

PS. any news on ICS for the note? I hear things like its not going to get it instead a premium package or something.

PPS. PEOPLE STOP COMPARING ANDROID WITH IOS OK, ANDROID ROCKS AND IOS SUCKS, IF THATS WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR NOW YOU GOT IT!!!!
