and i'm not sure if you are so excited for andriod phones why you got an iphone... they aren't for everyone.


Great! You found a solution for the flash issue that the OP mentioned in their last post. Assuming the OP is actually interested in finding methods that will fit their needs this should be a great find for them, but honestly I think they are just upset that they didn't stick with an Android device or take the opportunity to return the iPhone once they realized it wasn't exactly what they expected. Nothing wrong with feeling that way...like you said, the iPhone isn't for everyone. I just hope that the OP will actually try these solutions or just cut their loses and go back to an Android device. Maybe I'm wrong but the OP just doesn't seem to be truly interested in finding solutions as much as they seem to be upset with their choice of purchase and not deciding to use the exchange/return period while it was available.

Welcome to Apple products :smileyhappy: I completely agree, Android is much more fun.



I'll admit I neither agree nor disagree with that statement. Then again, I don't think I've ever labeled a wireless device I've used as "fun"...maybe some of the things I do on it, but not the actual physical device. But at least for you, for whatever reason you know what you like and you got it. You might enjoy lurking on the iPhone forums to remind people on a regular basis that you're on team Android, but you don't complain about the iPhone because you're stuck with it because you bought it and didn't realize it wasn't what you wanted lol.

Kaebfly,

 

I'm checking out all suggestions, Thank You. I'm stuck for a year and a half so I'm trying to make the best of it by using these great suggestions.

And if it makes it any better..... Google Market a few months ago changed the refund policy from 24 hours to 15 minutes.  The claim was that many people were buying games, playing them for a day then getting a refund (=no money for the developer).

Lots of complaints of course, many complex apps cannot be tested in 15 minutes including the time it takes to download, but the policy stuck,  Some developers will still allow a longer period but you have to contact them rather than getting an automatic refund from the Market.

Androids are a blast... battery pulls when it locks up. Reboots. Factory resets. Upgrades that seem like downgrades if ur lucky to get updates. End of life in roughly 12 months. So many posts of people being on their 4th, 5th, or more phone of the same model. Oh ya that's fun to me too. Sent from my Motorola DROID X.

Aye aye aye!  Maybe because I had an inferior phone ( Samsung Behold 2), and/or an inferior wireless carrier ( T-****le), but I can't believe ANYONE would rate an Android over an IPHONE!

I'll give you a 1-1 on this.  The Samsung Behold 2 was a sad attempt at making a smartphone.  For me, T-Mobile hasn't been an inferior carrier.  But, YMMV.

 

But, outside of battery life in standby, I will say that certain Android phones are better than an iPhone.  This is my personal opinion.  I say that each user should get the phone that will make him/her happy.
