Your personal anecdote does not imply that one group is more "smug" than others. You may have made the connection in your mind that one is more than the other, it is not fact.

That's completely irrelevent to what I'm saying.

The quality of HTC phones in 2010 and 2011 sharply declined because HTC started to make a million different phones but did not focus on the quality of each phone individually.

Then your Xperias must have been made out of cloth or something. I'm unsure how the Evo 3D can be the best built, not with all the problems that plague it.

This is completely backwards. The old HTC Apache and HTC Titan I had? Those were fantastic. I'm talking about these guys:

These old Windows Mobile phones are still ticking. The Sprint Hero that I have is still running.

My Evo 3D? In the short span of 8-9 months, the face of the phone (the glass) has somewhat sunk in to the body, the volume buttons have become so mushy it's almost impossible to tell if they're working unless you look at the screen, the power button is so terribly designed that turning off the screen often turns it right back on, the housing around the phone is falling off (and I'm repeatedly precision-super-gluing it back together), the camera is complete crap (excepting the flash, it doesn't take any better of a picture than my Sprint Hero did) and when the capactiive buttons are off, light bleeds over onto the "Search" soft button.

That's not counting dozens of reports of touchscreen failures, crooked screens, system failures, and my all time favorite; my brother's screen suddenly decided only half of it wanted to work.

The Hero was a far, far better built phone and continues to be compared to the newest pre-One-X builds.

I don't care whose phones better. As long as apple keeps putting out good iPhones each year and FORCES ANDROID manufacturers to innovate like with one x and galaxy 3 I will be happy. Without the 4s we would not have the Lumia one x s3 designs today. Also iPhone launch always helps lower prices for android phones which is a plus in my book. If I didn't watch video on my phone I would have an iphone right now.

Why so much hate?

Just read that Apple is trying to ban the Galaxy S3 and some HTC phones including the One X.:eek:

I think you can answer this question yourself.

I thought they closed this thread. Oh well, maybe they thought better of it.

Anyway, yes here is the article you are talking about:

If that don't make you HATE Apple then nothing will.

Sorry mods but this what I think of Apple and their BS patent lawsuits...

Liquid, before you flame me the reason I hate apple is the douchiness of suing for frivolous patents yet they copy key android features all the time

Like many on this thread said already, those who flame you are just immature and are hypocrites. I myself have an Iphone 4S but don't have it activated. I just use it as an MP3 player and toy with it and it truly is an awesome phone. IOS does really well on their phones, especially by making them truly a "Simple Phone" Just because someone chooses Apple over Android does not make them lesser of a person. It is their choice and their own personal preference. I've always been Android since my first phone and the only reason I wouldn't go to IOS is because I have grown accustomed to the large 4.3" + real estate they don't offer. I love both both companies though, and don't really care about what legal issues both companies use against eachother. Both have their pros and cons and sadly both have those haters who will say anything to prove their the best. Phones are phones, Android's are Android's and Apples are Apples. It's your own preference that matters most, who cares about those anit apple trolls:)

I think they hate because they really would like HTC to come up with such a beautiful sexy design like the iPhone 4s oh well we are stuck with the same ugly designs from Samsung and htc. Phones look like bricks now days.:D

The IPhone looks Like a flat stone, Made up of Lego Pieces. Android Phones have much more variety, is much more universal and customizable. Leaving the iToy plain and out sold by Android.

[HTC EVO 3D] LiquidSolstice:
Because the Evo 3D is such an ambitiously designed phone right? Also, awesome, let's compare a FREE operating system to a full blown hardware device when we talk about sales. We should also talk about how the Windows Operating System outsells MacBook laptops. Because that makes a ton of sense. And let's also ignore that an iPhone is considered anything with only a limited number of high power internal parts that only Apple decides and that an "Android device" is anything with anything, no matter how ****ty or underpriced, as long as it's running Android it's a smartphone.

Android fanboys; full of immaturity, not much in the way of humility or logic...
[HTC EVO 3D] :
While the iPhone is pretty sexy, Samsung phones have been moving away from the brick style to the much sexier curvy 'Galaxy Nexus' style. The HTC one X, in my opinion, looks really nice. Sad to see they ****ed up the design on the evo late...

[HTC EVO 3D] LiquidSolstice:
I personally think the Gnex looks a HELL of a lot better than the GS3. While I haven't held a One-X or the LTE, I think they look nice, but not much compares to the build quality of the Gnex. It feels solid, I'd hazard to say it almost feels as solid as a 4S.
[HTC EVO 3D] :
Ah, I haven't held or seen an s3 in real life before but from general descriptions it sounds like it looks like a galaxy nexus.

The galaxy nexus is probably the sexiest phone I've seen so I just made my judgement on the s3 based off of that.

The reviews all complain about the same thing: the cheapness of the plastic and the corniness of the metal band. That combined with the weight of the phone and they all say it feels really insubstantial.
[HTC EVO 3D] :
Makes sense as Samsung usually has low/decent build quality phones.

Kind of sucks that we have to sacrifice build quality for hardware...

Hmm...I see no hate for any phone. There's a thousand of different phones, so anyone can choose what they want. wether it be an iPhone or an android.

It all varies for what the user wants,

And is able to afford.

But still Phones are Phones. They do the same things any other phone can do,like call or text, reason why there should'nt be any iPhone hate.

-Dreams...
[HTC EVO 3D] Mexhawk06:
You guys are just die hard android fans that will not admit that the iPhone is ahead of the game when it comes to hardware. I love android with passion but there is no android phone out yet. That can be compare with the beauty of iPhone 4s. The end:D
[HTC EVO 3D] Visionikz03:
My two cents on the whole iphone hatery:

Apple is a bright company. They have developed some really cool products (i will agree that quite a few of them were not their original ideas but rather borrowed and improved upon from a previous product then called their own) Needless to say they are abusing the patent system of the US that was put in place to protect the genuine ideas of original creators. Since Apple now has more cash and assets than the US government, it would not surprise me if Apple could and may be "buying" these frivolous patents and trying to put everyone else out of business simply because of their financial power. I have a MacBook Pro myself and I do love it. I will confess that I run bootcamp simply because a music program I love is not available on Mac. However this will be the only Mac device I own. I am not a fan of their mobile devices because they are too simple in nature. I like to control as many aspects of my devices as possible and Apple simply doesn't provide that option natively.
[HTC EVO 3D] metalfan78:
I don't see it that way, apple's hardware is outdated and their software is way too locked down. If the iphone was made by any other company I would buy it though. Its a good phone, bad company.

"We're coming from a pure power source."
[HTC EVO 3D] bailz2506:
The hate is aimed everywhere . The users are a bunch of followers,I've got countless friends who got an iPhone as soon as they could because "thatd what everyone's got".I've never owned one and after a friend converted and got his first android I'm sure ill never go with Apple.

There are no advantages of the iPhone other than retina display but the screen is soooo small.

Also there is only one iPhone to choose from and that's it. You have the same phone as everybody else. Android has the mist handsets on the most carriers and has already outsold iPhone in more countries around the world.

The main point is, iPhone users ARE sheep because apple are marketing geniuses. You just need to look at when they were going to release the "iphone 5" and it never happened all the consumers lapped up the 4s for what? A tiny hardware upgrade and siri? And because of their marketing the sheep crumbled and wasted their money on stuff they really could have got with the ios5 upgrade
[HTC EVO 3D] :
You should probably stop with this thread. You're throwing logic at fan boys which never ends up well.

I know a lot of these posts are stupid and hard to resist replying to, but if the people are of the same intelligence of their posts, logic and reality won't do anything.

[HTC EVO 3D] Drachen808:
I just want to respond to this part because I don't really put stock in the "iphone is for sheep thing". My parents are extremely capable and my father is one of the smartest people I know and they use Iphones. I am a self-professed android fan boy so do with this information what you will, but I just used both of your SIRI examples using the google voice function (held the search button and said exactly what you wrote) and they did exactly what I needed (the former brought up a window to confirm that I wanted an alarm labeled "wake me up" for 3:05, and the latter brought up the weather underground forecast page for santa cruz ). I don't have any other apps installed (in fact I had to swap my phone out 2 hours ago, so it is completely stock, not even HTCdev unlocked).

In this case, I will agree the Apple marketing machine is responsible for the prominence of this feature and not any advantage that the feature itself holds. I was completely unaware how capable google voice assistant was until I was comparing it with siri. That is on Google. It had this feature, just as, if not more capable for an entire year before Siri, and even I didn't know how good it was.
[HTC EVO 3D] :
In the end, a phone is a phone. I'm happy with my iPhone 4S. Best mobile device I've ever owned. No fanboy here. Just a guy that loves technology overall. Not certain mobile companies.
[HTC EVO 3D] Visionikz03:
I think solstice pretty much summed it up. Android will quite possibly never be a good as ios simply because the hardware and software are two different companies. Even the nexus phones made by either Samsung or HTC were supposed to be a "Google" phone but still nowhere near the level of the iPhone. Even blackberries are more reliable because the hardware and software is the same company. If Google could build their own phone, it could be truly competitive with the iPhone. But I could care less because I'm happy with android and its progress over the years.
[HTC EVO 3D] acevo3d:
Both phones has it's own strengths and weaknesses. For what its worth, here's my opinion(this is by no means a comprehensive comparison):

1. Evo 3D (personal use): Android Revolution HD 1.2 Rom

2. iPhone4 (work issued): IOS (Jailbroken)

I use my iPhone for work. Along with a PPTP VPN account, I use it to access my laptop and company servers remotely via LogMeIn, SSH, FTP and various other remote access apps. IOS apps are developed extremely well and coupled with the smoothness/responsiveness of the touchscreen, it is hard to beat. My Android phone is mainly for personal use and I flash different roms on it constantly and in general, just learning as much as I can about Android development and its immense capability.

I don't work exclusively on my iPhone but when company servers run into problems while I'm away from my laptop, I need a phone that can do what I need smoothly & quickly. I always recommend the iPhone for people who don't want or like to tinker with their phones. No question about it, IOS just works well out the box and is more "intuitive". In addition, you never have to worry about conditioning the iPhones battery etc...Even with a dual core CPU overclocked to 1.5Ghz and all the bells & whistles of a custom Android ROM, it wasn't enough to ditch my iPhone for work related tasks.

In Android's defense, rooted or not, it beats IOS in terms of the number of customizations you can do and its Flash capable. I work in the tech field, I use Linux everyday and having a rooted android phone to play with is a must. When I got my Evo 3D, it was rooted and flashed with a custom rom immediately. I tried to use Android in the same manner as my iPhone for remote work tasks but I found myself going back to my iPhone often. However, I do like the fact that I can run a webserver using a DynDNS domain on the go among many other capabilities. AND I'm not tied to ITUNES! I love telling people I use TinyShark to download music for free, something iPhone users have to pay for with Spotify. LOL

In the end, at this moment, developers still prefer IOS despite Android's bigger mobile OS market share.

So...thats why I carry both phones with me. Best of both worlds.
[HTC EVO 3D] Mexhawk06:
Hmm so you are saying that the iPhone is outdated but if HTC made the iPhone you would getting. Yeah that makes alot of sense.

[HTC EVO 3D] LiquidSolstice:
:p Their hardware is dated and their software is locked down, but if any company amde the exact same phone, you'd buy it.

That says a lot about you, and to be honest, that's pretty pathetic. You must also be one of those people that stops like a certain music song because the mainstream radio got a hold of it and now everyone listens to it :rolleyes:
[HTC EVO 3D] flonker:
I am not at all a fan of Apple or their business practices, however, I see no reason to let it effect me emotionally. I also see no reason to "hate" on those whom choose to use their products.

In fact, I think Google should take a page from the Apple playbook and begin to better regulate it's app store. It is completely insane that apps like LWP's - something that should require zero permissions - are allowed to request the intrusive permissions they do. Google Play is fast becoming your one-stop source of spyware, and it is getting difficult to sort through. People often like to classify Apple users as less intelligent and/or tech savvy... Well, it doesn't look good for Android users either when 250,000+ people download a wallpaper that can read your SMS messages.

All that being said, boo Apple.

No, it's pathetic that you criticize the device saying you don't like it but if a different company made the device, you'd buy it.

That's petty at best, pathetic at worst.

I never said I didn't like it. I said it has old hardware and locked down software.

[HTC EVO 3D] LiquidSolstice:
...which is something you do not like. The fact remains that you are petty enough to say that you would use the device were it designed (in its current capacity) by a different company.

Hence why as far as I care, it's the same as not liking a song on the radio because it's played by a station you don't like.

Yea you're right.

This forum needs to be shutdown its stupid. Point is apple as a company is a jerk in the tech industry.

[HTC EVO 3D] monkeyluis:
You started out ok, then lost credibility when calling a group of users sheep. Good going. Btw, turn by turn is there, 3rd party apps like waze & mapquest. No face unlock, not every android phone has this either. iTunes doesn't have to be used at all....if you dont know this than you're way behind. You can manage your files wirelessly too. Home screen you can arrange as you like, yes other than widgets.

So how much do you really know about iPhone or are you just jumping on the hate wagon. I think you're jumping on the hate wagon.

So let me get this straight you guys get offended by people saying iPhone users are sheep.. I don't understand why that is. Yet me saying they drink the Kool aid or take the blue pill is ok? I'm lost and a lot of people do want to iPhone for no reason other then to say they have one... Ask a person why they got the iPhone any regular person on the street you may luck out and get a geeky person.

Otherwise I am sure most will say they have it just because it's a iphone. I have ran across many that say they want one or have one with no logical explanation. Why I Am on Android is because when I first heard about it I thought it was amazing. I love the os it is awesome as far as what you can do and how easy most of it is when you get the hang of it. Not to mention the devs, and most of the community makes it fun.

The feeling of fear and helplessness as it slipped out of my hands and fell towards the concrete below was just dreadful...

The damage not as bad as some of the other guys that have also dropped theirs, just scratch and bent the aluminum by the Mic hole on the bottom...

Just wanted to see if anyone else had any horror stories that will make me feel better about myself
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] purock:
I haven't dropped my Evo LTE yet, well, because my preorder is in lala land.

But a month ago. I was canoeing at a lake, taking pictures with my OG Evo. I put the sucker in my lap! My fuggin lap! on a boat! Then while I got close to the dock, I stood up and all of sudden the world around me turned into the Matrix. The phone in slow motion went from my lap to about a three inch gap between the dock and boat. Helpless. Ofcourse it couldn't go into the boat or hit the dock. And it sunk like a dead hookers body.

Now I've had no (real) phone for a month, while I wait for my stupid preorder. Does that make you feel any better?
