[Galaxy Note 4 General] spexwood:
That's good to know, but neither one are my car company of choice (I won't state who my preferred company is to prevent potential off-topic fighting... car lovers like myself are almost as bad as phone OS fanboys! LMAO). Even if they were, I have a 2010 vehicle that runs GREAT and I can't afford to trade it in anytime soon. My point is just that when car companies suddenly support Android, it's not like a majority of customers can inexpensively upgrade their vehicles to get the support. Even swapping out stereo systems or whatever is needed would be expensive.

It is good to know that car companies are catching on though. Heck, even the Note 4 has the Mirror Link (or whatever) that allows it to connect to cars with Intellilink. (WAIT... is this what you were referring to by any chance?)

Uuuuummmmm... Exynos vs Snapdragon wouldn't be an iphone vs Samsung forum. It would be a CPU1 vs CPU2 forum. Or more specifically, a forum about one type of Note 4 vs another type of Note 4 forum.

The ATT Note 4 forum is pretty messed up though. There are people bickering and complaining everywhere. People are even coming up with conspiracy theories as to why we don't have Lollipop yet. I'd love to point out all the insane things Android lovers do though... but I'd risk getting attacked on the street or something :laugh:

Open Source code is starting to become closed source now. I definitely see that, but that's just companies (like Google) trying to protect their investments. It's understandable... to me at least.

And yeah, bloatware sucks. I thought Apple had it too though, but Apple bloat instead of carrier bloat. I'm probably wrong though.

As for Touchwiz... just install a different launcher. You don't have to use TouchWiz. That's the beauty of Android.

That said, I have to disagree about Android users having to "pretty much be a computer engineer." To use Android straight out of the box, you'd probably have to know how to use a computer, yes, but nothing more complicated as setting up an internet connection on Windows or something like that.

To be able to change your launcher or something (just by installing apps), you'd need to be able to do more advanced computer tasks, but nothing more complicated than installing a piece of software.

Now, to be able to root and install mods, you need to be know even more about computers. More than average Joe. Something like being able to set up your router or to be able to use an ip address over the internet.

To be able to develop and program apps, or to be able to underclock or something like that, you need to be a much more advanced user. Like building a custom computer, or program (duh for app development lol)

But to be able to actually FIND root or something like that, you need to be Einstein or something (kudos to those guys!!!!). You need to be able to write and analyze code.

Anyways, my point was this:

iPhones were definitely intended for the average or below average computer user. People who just want a phone, but a phone that's smarter than JUST a phone. They want it easy, simple, and smooth.

Android is meant to be used by the above average user who likes to have customization and freedom of how they use their phone. People who like to set up their homescreens to be the way they want it to be., whether it's full of apps and widgets, or blank with nothing on it. Or to be able to install apps that do things like add your calendar events to your notification menu or change launchers or something like that. But Android is also for the advanced and highly advanced users, who want to mod, tweak, program, or something like that.

I have to end things here because I've had a long day at work and am tired. I begin to ramble when I'm tired. LOL

EDIT: Erm, sorry. Looks like I was too late for the rambling warning :rolleyes:
