Anyone else getting a Galaxy 4?

For example, if you just snapped a pic, and you want to text it to someone...

With the iPhone, you just tap the square, choose MSM, and send it.

With the Note 2, you can't text from the pic. You have to start a text msg, then hit the paperclip, and fid the pic to send.

May seem trivial, but the iPhone UI just makes more sense to me.

I carry an iPhone 4 (personal) and an iPhone 5 (work). The 4 is due for an upgrade. I was eyeing the Note 2, but my mil just got one and I've been playing with it, and the UI sucks! Lots of actions take twice as many keystrokes or diving through menus vs the iPhone. The screen is dreamy, but it may actually be a little too big. Not sure what I'm gonna do. Is the UI/menu the same on the S4 as the Note 2? If so I think I may stay iPhone or use my upgrade to get an iPad or something.

Explain what you mean it takes twice as many actions? Are you referring to having to go into Apps, then select the app you want, instead of just scrolling thru the sceeens/pages like iPhone to see all apps?

You're doing it wrong then.

I think crapple set the precedent with the ip5, that being one handed operation. I don't see them getting any larger.






For those data hoarders like myself. I have a 32gig msd and the 10gigs on board mostly full... You can't get that much storage in a Nexus, unfortunately.

Most of my stuff is on google play music, and dropbox or box. Like 40gb worth of stuff. I've learned to deal with it. Having actual unlimited data sure does help.

I've been on ip3gs now ip4, but going to make the switch to android looking forward to the next version of Note(Note-3 ?).

Big beautiful screen has become a need.
Small chance that Apple can make a solid competitor to the next gen Note.

Yeah, more stable of course, but I just don't see a need for an aosp version of a phone separately.

But this will be pure AOSP and won't have the propensity for "beta features", if you catch my drift. I suspect Nexus stability but with expandable storage, although, I don't think it'll get Nexus like priority and have to go through the Samsung update channel, albeit faster than devices with TW.

The old ones you're referring to are the One S, and the One X. They made a new one that just came out called the HTC ONE. no letters on the end.

Ahh, yeah, that sounds familiar now. They did get the One X

Is the AT&T version of the new One getting bad reviews too, or just certain carriers?

[Tx Redneck]

CM10.1, done. wtf is the point of this? The people that know enough about having AOSP, or even what it means will already be on xda supporting the rom.

Is this the new HTC One? 2 guys I work with got one about 1 1/2 years ago, no issues I've ever heard from either of them. One is about to upgrade in the next week or two I think. It's his work phone, I got the Note for mine, I'll keep it a while longer. No reason to switch for the few things I use it for.

I got home and noticed my roommate had switched back to his note 2 after using a one for a week, I didn't even ask why.

I had one returned today for an s4, same issue with the back button not wanting to work. htc had their chance to actually make a phone worth a shit and fucked it up yet again. I'm glad only 300 stores got that stupid phone nationwide.

If this is true, it's an interesting idea and one I can get with.

From a buddy that got a One late last week.

It deletedall my contacts sat. Today it was saying it had no SIM card then it did. Then it was showing to register contacts then no SIM then went normal. The back key doesn't work half the time. The audio will change random when hooked into a radio. And the volume not being separable.
