Why did you choose an android device?why not ios device?

I have an android device and except from the open system and maybe the widgets (I'm not using but still...)why android is better from ios?I'm really asking because I want to buy a phone and I'm in dilemma.(forget about the hardware lets say I choose a phone with specs exactly like the iphone)

Here is why I think that ios is better:

1.the system works very fast and smooth and its very easy to use.

2.the "multi tasking" works pretty well even that its not a real multitasking because I can quit from numbers of apps and return to my stop point in these apps (in android the system can close it.

3.in ios when I close an app it won't restart itself after few seconds(in android apps like facebook,whatsapp google maps tap tap 4 etc restart after few seconds)

4.ios got more apps and all the popular apps will be first on the iphone.

5.I wont get a message that says that the app isnt compatible with my device.

6.I already have an good system and I wont need to change the rom(I know that ios dosent have roms but u got my point)

7.apps run more smoothly on ios device than on an android device.

I'm really asking why android is better because as I said before I want to buy a new phone so its or an iphone or android phone.

Thanks for all the helpers.

P.S

don't say that android is an open system because I already know that

I am an "hacker" (I don't find correct word, in Italian is "smanettone"), I enjoy flashing, I enjoy change look often, and again, and again...I love possibilities that android give us..upple device can be a great hardware, ok, but android give us more customization. Apps are in porting, now we have Jetpack too :D

Is normal, if that u have an small devices, like Galaxy Gio or similar you are limited..

And other: android is for all...did u see an apple device not expansive (not excist less than 500€ in italy)..and we have android phone that costs 80€...

And finally...ANDROID IS OPEN!!

When ever a friend tells me that his Iphone is superior I always set them a simple task

My pc in the corner has a shared folder with music on it. Quickly brows the folder and copy a song to your device, then set it as a ring tone, all over wifi, no cables no itunes just you your device and the network share. They are quick to say sure let me just download this server software to your pc and add this app to my phone yada yada yada

While he is trying to explain his way out of this I grab the song trim it convert it and email it to his Iphone all from me S3, I love the look on his face when In mid explanation he gets my mail, Just save the attachment I say, and play it for us! Oh you can't? Shame

Such fun the iSheep are to play with
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daveid:
I agree 100%, why do you want us to convince you to do something you don't seem inclined towards? Buy the iPhone, solid choice, if that is your desire and it fills your needs. I find these posts kind of pointless, are people really looking for others to justify their purchases, or just trying to start another Android vs. IOS war....
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scorpio09:
+1.

Just to show few examples of why is Android better and why this is called open os, watch out the video below.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMiY1kSTHZw&sns=em

Jellybean is smooth like butter and has better features than iOS. Crappy iTunes took up >50GB for its app backups on my PC.

Almost all apps are available on both os. In fact I find more useful ones like Tasker, Timeriffic.. etc in Android. Tell us few apps which are only available for iOS without which you can't live with Android.

It's individual perception but I think Android is best os for hundreds of reasons..

Edit: Forgot to mention Google Music(20000 songs storage) , Google Now (much much better than crappy Siri), Google Navigation, Google Maps and last but not the least XDA and the community ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iJimaniac:
After actually having used an iPad, I can tell you the biggest reason I would never go IOS: NO FILE MANAGER! I guess I just took it for granted on android, but I cannot survive without being able to manage the files on my device either while on the device itself, or even a PC! I am not just talking songs and pictures, I mean being able to download any file type, than transferring it onto any PC without iTunes having to bog it down.

Because a Galaxy Nexus cost half of what an iPhone cost.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hreidmar:
Haha awesome way to show them how LIMITED is iOS. :D

OP if you really want my opinion ill tell you this way, if you want to spend alot for a fancy glittered phone that gets apps first and you don't care about customization/functionality then go with the iPhone.

But if you want the full freedom of customization + ALOT more functionality in core itself then get an Android like Galaxy S3 or HTC One X.

By the way i recommend you to watch series of 5 videos explaining why is Android better than iOS. :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMiY1kSTHZw
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dxppxd:
Having used both, i went with Android, all reasons summed up in the next paragraph, but feel free to read all the post:

With Android you adapt the device to your needs. With iOS you adapt yourself to the device's needs.

-budget

-ui customization: switch wifi, data, playlists, firewalls, or any adjustable feature with a single tap. No need to go to adjustments or browse trough menus.

-app integration: no more juggling between apps to do simple tasks. Browse a file, and you can alter it with any app that supports the file.

-file formats support: you cannot simply share a mp3 in iOS. You cannot download and edit any file in iOS.

-You cannot use your device as usb in iOS (having to set itunes and syncing for just adding a couple of songs or pics is retarded). No usb cable? Use wifi, 3g tethering or Bluetooth.

-copy and paste: files, folders, text, contacts, entire web pages or just selected content.

That's just the stock features, if you root your device then everything goes. Rooted android > jailbroken iphone by a million miles.

The more shady stuff:

-backup your system, switch phones, restore your system, just like nothing changed (not even game saved data)

-decide what information the apps can access. This includes contact data, imei, sim number, imsi number, 3g, wifi, and any personal info.

-like a song? Download it directly with your phone, for free. Same with youtube videos.

-piracy, yup, good piracy on android, wouldn't recommend it, but its there, like everything else Android is about choice.

-speaking of piracy, torrent downloads.

-ported apps. Good luck trying to get your iphone3 run some apps (mostly games) for the iphone5 or iphone4s. I own a galaxy mini, that can run games for galaxy s3 because someone ported them.

-emulators: nintendo, play station, dos.

-terminal emulator: speak directly to the OS, tell it what to do, watch the magic happen.

-wifikill: nuff said.

Finally hardware:

-i just gave my old android to my cousin, he openned it, changed sims, and that was it, in less than 2 minutes. No warranty lost, no need for screwdrivers, no specially shaped sim cards, no need to get a contract or activate or any of that crap.

-battery sucks cuz its old? Same as above, open it, put new battery in, close it.

-the best for the last. Take that cheap plastic android phone, drop it, all parts go flying out, so just put it back together, maybe the plastic chipped. Drop that metal and glass iphone, cry at the cracked screen and chipped edges.

That being said, if you want a solid phone that just works get the new iphone, you won't regret it, but chances are you paid 500 bucks for beastly hardware you'll never get to use at its fullest (how many processors do you really need if all you do is change the wallpaper, browse fb and play some games!?)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_hustleman:
Android is best simply because it does everything Apple does and more.

You have to void your warranty just to install an app that didn't come from the market to your phone - YOUR PHONE!

You never truly own an iPhone, you simply LEASE IT and in doing so you must follow the terms
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kfirbep:
The reason that I'm asking is because everyone around me tells me that android is better but than I use one of my friends iphone(that think iphone is better)and I see how easy it is to use,for example ig I quit from an app and want return

to the app I just click twice on home button and there all the apps that runing found so I don't need to search in the menu for my apps.in android there is somthing like that but it does it with recently apps and not open apps(and it has a limit place in the recent apps).

I don't want to buy a phone that I will sorry I for buying it,this is why I asked not because I want to cause an iphone vs android war..

Thanks for everyone who answered and helped
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebobp:
Perhaps you tried an older version of android. As of 4.0, there is no more limit to the number of recent apps.

The "open apps" in iOS is, in fact, a misnomer. It's similarly a list of recent apps. Indeed, most iOS apps aren't even allowed to be "open" for more than 5 seconds before being forced into suspension. Android, on the other hand, has more flexible multitasking abilities. See the following article for details on both:

Customization. Anything you don't like about your Android device you can change. You can even make it look like an iphone if you wish. That's really why I can't use an ios device
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LORDFIRE00:
Android - true flexibilty with any data sync, user modification to ur own hearts content, unlimited storage capacity through sdcards and cloud syncing and much much more. Iphone doesnt even come close to androids capabilities, plain and simple.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MRsf27:
Let's just put it this way. My android device looks 100 times better then any iPhone that has ever come out(because every iPhone looks the same). My android phone acts like a phone and has never had 1 problem since it came out (not like the iPhone where they failed to admit to their antenna problems). IOS looks like **** compared to the UI of android.

In short, this is why cry babies of apple want to sue android, because all in all they know that android is superior in every way:D

I haven't had any great use of the camera yet so I haven't noticed this until now. If I hold my Nexus 7 (portrait) with the camera at a level with my nose I just barely get my face in the display with a lot of space above my head. I have to tilt the whole thing towards me and it would make video chat uncomfortable.

I've asked a friend who owns one and they have the same issue so I want to know how many others, if any, have this issue. I haven't heard anything about it here or elsewhere but I have to admit to only doing a brief search before posting this thread.

Hi, folks!

I'm a Note owner since this last weekend and I really love it =) but there is one function that I miss from my SII and my last tablet (Lenovo TPT)...

I don't get the folder of my hotmail account synced! There are no problems with googlemail account, only the hotmail doesn't do what I what it to do =)

Tried already every possible and choosable option, even other mail-apps like K9 or kaiten...none of this helped. Only the inbox-, outbox-, trash- and sended-folder are being synced.

Any others with this problem or does anybody know how to solve this problem?!?

this is not what meant.l meant that I organize my mails in folders,e.g. incoming mails from ebay are being sorted automatically in the folder named"ebay".

Hi ,

I was trying to flash clockwork mod recovery after rooting my infuse thru superone click...

I had to replace the modified 3e recovery with the original one (after backing it up )

Go back to stock either froyo or GB, and then flash a custom kernel which should give you cwm recovery.

Please bear with me but I think the problem is only with the recovery file that I replaced in system/bin...

So if anyone has a way to replace that like with the original recovery file , I'd be very happy... say via command or terminal or anything... some way to access the root folder of my phone in its suspended animated state...

Thanks a lot for trying to understand me. :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] andros11:
It bootloops or does it get stucked at samsung logo?

I doubt that a bad 3e recovery file would do that to your phone.. you should be able to still enter download mode no matter how messed up your phone may be (except for a bad bootloader flash which is obviously not your case).

Only case I know you would not be able to enter is because of a bad power button.

I agree that Dev's should be greatly rewarded for their work, especially something as tricky as S-Off.

For someone to work out how to s-off the HOX its going to need certain files and / or a method to be leaked. We know its possible but someone is keeping it close to their chest.

The easy answer here is whether you've tried a different battery or not. Never a bad idea to have a spare, and you can get a stock battery off of Amazon for about $15, or you can get a GNex extended for free+shipping by looking in the GNex extended thread in Accessories.
