LG Shine Plus - It was the Canadian variant of the LG Ally.

The phone originally came with android 2.1, and had constant wifi issues and was ridiculously slow. Believe it or not, however, LG actually updated the firmware to 2.3.3 even though the phone was just about to be pulled off the market. It fixed some of the issues but it was still a terrible phone. Got a whopping 80 MB of on-board storage for apps.
[General Topics] avenuePad:
Oh god. The Shine Plus. Yuck! That was, hands down, one of the worst Android phones. Just terrible.

That phone could singlehandedly be the reason why LG is fighting an uphill battle in the smartphone market right now. LG was a market leader before the whole smartphone era and then they started putting out crap like the Shine Plus. It really has only been since they started working on the Nexus project with Google that they got their **** together.

The cons are countless: camera is so blurry it can't even read a QRcode, build quality's crap, fake proximity sensor, no update ever, battery lasts about 2 hours of light use, mic is so bad the phone can't be used on speaker, slow SoC and flash (small size too), dreadful wifi and 3G sensitivity, non working GPS, randomly working hardware buttons, charger died and the touchscreen broke down after 6 months...

+ lots of quirks I can't even remember. Really, a smartphone can't get worse than this.

Would be the S4 believe it or not. When AT&T changed the os to mf3 in particular. It's too big and clunky to use as a phone carried in pocket. I wound up hating it. I sold it. Ordered my all time favorite a new atrix 4g. I know I will catch heat for that but it's what I like. Right?
[General Topics] HalcyonEndures:
Gotta be the HTC Droid Eris. I got it for free with Verizon when we started our new contract with them, and at the time smartphones were just becoming big. The original Droid 1 was the king at the time but I couldn't argue with a free phone. At the time I thought it was great, because newer phones hadn't been released so I had nothing to compare it to, but looking back it was awful. Tiny screen, ugly little trackball that really didn't have any purpose, and the specs were terrible.

Any cheap chinese android device

Primarily those with those very cheap Rockchip Processors, the ones that are clocked averagely high (1GHZ or Above) But don't perform any where close to the mainstream competitors of the same specifications. They're unbearably slow to use, and Android does not cope well on slow hardware.

It's a tie between the Coolpad Quattro, which is just a horrid pos and the completely unmoddable lg l9 for metro, which is a great phone but crippled by a locked boot loader with a hit or miss chance at unlock through a complicated process involving a ton of flashing, crazy digitizer issue during the process and a half hour wait only to find it still won't unlock.

Asus Transformer Prime TF201(GPS fiasco), GPS issue from factory due a metal case. Preorder was a mess too, it generated a big expectation and preorders were screwed up by retailers causing a 3-4 weeks delay. It had the famous and well known Asus I/O issues and performance(Tegra 3 to blame for) was disappointing. It couldn't play a 1080p flawlessly,not even a 720p video without Overclocking the unit to 1.6Ghz.What else could you ask for $499(tablet) + $149 for the dock?

Well, I've only had 3. Droid X, GNex, and my current, the Note 3. Honestly, I have no complaints about the DX. It worked great all the time. The GNex and I had a love/hate relationship. Loved the fact that I could do anything I wanted with it and I had new updates the day after they were released, no thanks to Verizon. But honestly, HATED the radio, the reception, the lag. I loved it but I love that its been replaced too. No regrets.

Oh man, I forgot about my first tablet! Man, it sucked so bad I forgot what it was... I know some azzole named "trickster" Or "trixter" scammed a bunch of people by selling half arsed roms for it. I think it had an 800mhz single core processor, resistive touch screen and a whopping 256mb user space. A friend has it rotting in a corner of his closet now because wifi mysteriously broke after a factory reset on a trickster rom (installed before he started ripping people off)

Xperia Arc. Had to wait 5 seconds for the calling persons name to appear sometimes. Proximity sensor lived it's own life, sometimes failed to recognize movement.

I can't pick just one. I've had the HTC EVO Shift and the Motorola Photon...

The EVO Shift had two flaws...

1. Sense, which I think is way worse than Motor Blur but they keep making it abd

2. Despite benchmarks and customer sat stats way beyond the original EVO, it never got the love and support from the user community. Took years for a real root solution and I'm not sure there were any Ross.

The Photon was one of the big three flagship on Sprint next to the Galaxy S2 and the HTC EVO 3D. They lasted and the Photon got discounted and dumped soon after it was granted it's flagship status. Then, in October 2012, not even a year after it came out, Motorola took it off the Android upgrade list, dashing all hopes of ICS and dooming it to Gingerbread forever. To add insult to injury, in July 2012, they hid a permanent boot loader lock inside an innocent security update. So anyone who updated could no longer root or ROM.

Two great phones that lost out on provider, manufacturer, or community support leaving users abandoned on some level.

Doesn't matter anyway, flashing one of his roms and doing a factory reset completely disabled my wifi antenna and I never could get it to work again. The roms don't rebuild the system, I'm pretty sure they just patch and modify files and the wifi drivers or whatever got wiped by the reset.

The HTC Hero G2 Touch. I've been using it for the past 3 years because I didn't have the money to buy a new one.

The internal memory wasn't great (luckily we have apps2ext) and of course it wasn't a pretty fast phone.

One good thing about it is that it's a pretty damn strong phone. I've accidentally dropped it a few times: no scratches or other damage. 'Unfortunately', last week it wouldn't boot up anymore, no matter which ROM I used.

So last week, my parents bought me the Samsung Gamaxy S3 Mini, and that marks the end of the Hero era.

[General Topics] melis256:
It was a tablet, an Archos 10.1 G9. It had annoying hardware problems and in the end I got it replaced because it tapped in the middle of the screen when you squished lightly on the side like when holding it with one hand.

Even without that severe flaw, the touch sensor was laggy and had a horribly low resolution and the device was prone to sometimes randomly rebooting a few times in a row.

Perhaps it was simply an early Monday morning product... dunno.

A tablet easily. The Machspeed Trio Stealth Lite. Buggy ICS. Bad manufacturing quality, overheats, speaker died, and LCD cracked and bled in only mildly cold weather(never dropped). All inside 2 weeks of use after owning it months and not touching it. Then rooting and installing Google Play.

Worst actual phone was Samsung Galaxy S Captivate. 4 RMAs within a year for quitting charging before I gave up on the thing. Crappy touchwiz, lag, and originally no side loading apps until you rooted and installed a custom ROM. Luckily I know how to undo this stuff for warranty.

I guess from someone who used an iPhone for 3 years, I've grown fond of the apps available from the app store. I guess I felt a bit lost using an Android phone.

After a while of using my GNex, and through the updates, it got slow and the camera's instant shutter on 4.0 just wasn't as good. Also the display had like a fuzzy feeling behind the screen like on a white background and you scroll down you can see almost like some fibers.

I've had a Moto Droid (euro-version Milestone) for quite some time, loved the build quality and physical keyboard but Moto did this stupid kernel encrypting/signing and at some part all owners got stuck with a buggy gingerbread update that still relied on an equally buggy froyo kernel or something like that. way to go destroying your image and android street cred, Moto!

soooo last year I fell for the marketing hype around the first dual core phone and, despite better knowledge of LG's software/firmware history, I bought the 2x/Speed/P990. Man... that sucked. big time. great speakers, mediocre screen, cheap build quality, sucky camera and, despite a really nice basic hardware, the initial firmware was a desaster which LG never quite really fixed.

so the instant the GNex prices finally dropped I got rid of the LG, bought the Nexus and am a really, really happy android camper since.
