Samsung iPhone Promo



I signed up for the 30 day trial, got the S6 Egde +. ( I didn't have a iPhone I spoofed my browser so they thought I had a iPhone) I was wondering who else has signed up and anybody got a shipping notification or an idea when it also and thing else about this promo.



Back from the iPhone 6+



I am happy to be back in the Nexus 6 community after a 3 month break to seriously try out the iPhone 6+. I finally succumbed to my kids badgering me to get an iPhone. I though that I would share some of the good and bad. I have been an android user since the original Sprint Hero and have always been happy with the operating platforms. Three months ago I put away my N6 for an iPhone 6+. I gave it 3 months to really try the OS, the apps, and the general ecosystem of the phone.

The Good:
  • The iPhone 6+ integrates perfectly with a Mac and iPad. Calls, texts (from other iMessage users) generally show up in all 3 places. You never have to switch devices to answer a text.

  • Battery life was by far the best from any phone that I have ever used. I generally charged every other day with similar use my N6 needs a daily charge.

  • The screen is bright and readable, crisp and clear.

  • The build quality is of course top notch.

  • The phone is fast and fluid - even with 1G of RAM.

  • Updates - you never have to wait once released.

The Not So Good:
  • I have my N6 set up so when I unlock it I see my calendar, weather, alarms, txts, and email. With the iPhone I was always just looking at apps. I know I could swipe down for notifications and see all of the above - but it was just one more step.

  • Files were a total pain - I always had to upload them out of dropbox. Copy and paste from the web to a document, email, or text - there is most likely a way but I never found a good one.

  • You cannot list the apps in ABC order. I was always hunting around for the app that I wanted.

  • No real widgets.


The Worst (for me)
  • The screen was just too small. I want a device that I could use as both a phone and a tablet, and the iPhone was just not big enough.

  • Call quality - I could hear just fine, however everyone I talked to said I sounded like I was under water even with a headset.

  • Its somewhat vain but with an iPhone you are just like everyone else. At least the N6 stands out!


I am happy to be back with the N6. It seems to just do more of what I want. Hope this helps anyone considering doing the same.

iPhone trouble assist



HISTORY:

2 days ago, I bought an iPhone 4 for let's say, out of this world, price!
I've always wanted to try an iPhone and since it was a price, to die for, I purchased it.
The guy who sold it to me did not stay around and immediately took off.

So, I started fiddling with My iPhone 4.
Pressed the menu key an iTunes logo and a USB cable flashed on screen with a message :insert a sim card.

Ha, I had not inserted a sim card that is why the flash or so I thought.
Can't get the back cover off, oh bugger, its the tiny pin hole area where to place the sim. Had to Google to find out how to put a sim card in a iPhone, really.

Sim card inserted. Clicked on the menu key, still the same. Pressed, power button, and all hell broke loose. Damn phone is locked. And I DON'T KNOW THE PASSWORD.

My question:

How to get this device working for me?

What are the softwares needed to reflash reset the phone to its original state i. e without any password protection.

Galaxy S5 camera versus iphone camera



I really like my S5 but when it comes to using the camera it looses personal every comparisson with the iPhone. Not only versios iPhone 6 but also older ones.
  • Either the Camera lags when I launch it and is not ready fast enough to catch the scene

  • Or from picture to picture I have to wait (I do have a fast sd card)

  • And ultimately (and this is my major complaint) all point and shoot pics are vivid and sharp on my friend's apple devices but not on mine. I can make pleasing pictures but I do have to make sure I hold my phone dead steady and bother about whether to use flash or not since relying on auto doesn't always do the trick. And focussing seems to be really slow in comparisson.


I have tried alternative apps but my shap shots are rearly as crisp as I would like to have them.

What is your experience? Or how can I improve this?



sms sync w/ iphone?



I bought 10.1 tab pro for my mom who also has an iphone. There's gotta be an app like mighty text that works with iOS.

Any recommendations that are very simple. She's old, and doing anything more complex then installing an app will cause problems.

Thanks!

How to share Android's screen with iphone



the concept seems easy enough, surely there is an app that can do that, but which one can actually do the job via wifi, bluetooth or 3g? Thanks!

[Q] iPhone to G4 MMS Issues



Wondering if anyone else has run into this issue. My girlfriend recently left Verizon (on iPhone 5) and took her number to T-Mobile. She decided to buy the LG G4 (I have the G3 on Verizon and she really liked it) but is having issues with receiving picture or group messages from other iPhones. I can message her fine, and I don't have any issues receiving these messages on my G3 (on Verizon). If we are on the same thread, sometimes she won't get the message until I or another android user responds to it.

When she left Verizon they told her that iPhone users would have to turn iMessage off & on in order for it to work, but that has led to mixed results. She will get a few group messages or picture messages from certain recipients but inevitably will end up missing another one (her texting app will show "New MMS Message" and a download button, but pressing that doesn't do anything). She's contacted T-Mobile but all they ever say is to reboot her phone, or clear the Messaging app data. Generally this fixes it temporarily, but unable to fix completely.

Since I'm unfamiliar with T-Mobile and the G4, I was wondering if anyone can share their experiences with this? Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks!

[Q] [question] touch sensitivity on OPO after coming from iPhone



don't hate me, but I am noticing a huge difference in touch responsiveness coming from my iPhone to the One.

Is this an Android thing (I remember this goes back to the first galaxy phone) or the One is the cause?

I doubt this is a settings issue.

I find it difficult to deal with (especially when scrolling through large articles or feeds (instagram, facebook, and so on).

Awesome device though.
Thanks

Tom Brady's true crime: switching to an iPhone



From Tom Brady's statement on his suspension being upheld: "I replaced my broken Samsung phone with a new iPhone 6 (...)"

I'm a huge Pats fan but even I cannot forgive such an egregious act.
