Hi guys, I'm considering to replace my old trusted HTC desire with an iPhone 4s. Will I miss my android? Anyone make a similar jump?
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium
The simplest answer is, yes.
I don't know, but I can guarantee Android won't miss you.
How so? Well maybe I will miss the widget feature but other than that I think iPhone kinda do a pretty good job IMHO.

No need to flame guys, it's just a simple question.
Now to the OP, try IOS put, if you like it, keep it. If not, you care slate trade the 4S for an android device. Once it comes down to it, it's all preference.

I went from being an iPhone user (iPhone3GS then an iPhone4) to android and would never go back. There isn't much you can do on an iPhone in was of customization without jailbreaking, and a jailbroke ios4.0 was very unstable for me with horrible battery life. Not to sure about a jailbroke ios5 since I bailed before it was released, although my wife now has the iPhone4 with ios5 (stock) and it is fast, so I'm sure the 4s would be snappy as ever with the improved processor. I like optons, so for me android is a better experience.

I don't understand why anyone would go from Android to iOS, and I'll leave it at that.

It depends on how much money you spent on apps from the Android market.

Maybe I just got bored with android.and one think I notice that android will become slow over time.

You will by default miss something about android. That's just natural. Will that thing be enough to make you regret your purchase? Only you can answer that. Hell I miss some things about WebOS on my Touch pad. But will I go back? Nah B-)

i don't really get why you'd want to go the iphone route unless you're feeling a little retro today.
the main reason iphone users dont switch (from my observations) was the money spent on apps, but i've never heard of android users switching to an iphone unless it was an entry-level phone (ie: optimus one, galaxy gio)
edit:
if you're bored with your phone, you can try a different manufacturer like samsung, moto or maybe go stock with a gnex. it'll be a completely new experience.

Actually considering gnex too especially with ics. Samsung for me I dont like touchwiz even if I get one I will definitely install AOSP rom. In that case I will still feel like same old android. Thanks for the input.

The biggest thing for me that keeps me away from ios other than it being closed and no customization is the lack of a dedicated back button. I think its a huge thing to leave out and makes things like opening links in one app that brings up another very disorienting. I think its a huge flaw in the design of the OS. The one home button is incredibly inconvenient and clunky.

Not really, In two years of Android, I've spent a total of $5 on Android apps from the market, I'd miss Android if I left.

That's why I said 'it depends,' and followed it with a smiley. Some people would miss the money they spent in the market/app store. Others will only care about ideology or the OS.
i switched to iphone4 for about two weeks and oh hell no lol i couldnt get back to android fast enough, but i like the roms and just the hacking in general for android
My friend did that... switched from android and now whenever I flaunt my android the look on his face is hilarious...

So many think that Google copied things from Apple to create the Android platform. Well iPhone users can be happy that it happens all the time.

I've been trying to look around, but couldn't find it. Is there any way to get a droid to dual run ios and android (choosing from the boot screen when you turn on your phone)? I love running android, but the games on the ios I love.

I wish I could run android in my useless IPhone 2G, but its not available too. IOS in Moto Milestone would be a double mess, bad OS and bad phone. By the way I still have my Milestone operational with CM. It is doing pretty well considering hyow old and used it is.
Ability to dual boot Android and iOS would be close to a miracle for any device... But if it happened, it would be awesome. Keep me in the loop, I've dreamt about this also....

I think Google may develop a Voice Assistant like Siri built into Google Now. And am not a fan of voice assistants but it seems to be hot around. They may also do something for battery life.
Some of mine friends got iphone 4s and they have used siri for first two weeks, after that nobody was using it...just hype for nothing. Here ppl are looking at you like u were an idiot when you speak with ypur phone in public haha

Hasn't Android supported multiple cores since GB? Pretty sure because I remember all the talk about it. I had the Atrix and it was one of the first dual cores.

I talk to my phone all the time, it's much easier. I use to only when searching for things but now that I have Google Now I use it much more. Most of the time if I am around somebody they ask me what kind of phone I have. I mean I wouldn't use it at a funeral and I don't go to church or Walmart and usually never the mall, I try to avoid mass social situations unless there is a DJ/producer I want to hear.

THIS THIS THIS! A battery is not a feature of the OS, and while making the OS more battery efficient is always good.. I want to see some advancement in the state of batteries, the phone has improved so much in the past few years it's crazy, the battery needs to catch up. I'm talking at least 3 day+ battery no matter the use in all devices.
Hey guys,
are you not being bored by your smartphone OS time by time?
Well i have been throught Symbian (on Nokia and Motorola) then Windows Mobile 6 and at by now Android (from beginning till JB). But i have to admit i am getting bored. Even though Android is the evolving itself it stays in ground the same.
Windows Phone 7/8 was exciting me but since i tried "Phone seven launcher" on Android and WP7 phones in stores i was not so interested anymore.
Now i have ordered a blackberry with OS7 updatable to 10 hopefully. Maybe thats kinda new :/
What innovative smartphone OS'ses could excite you/me?
Thanks for tipps!
Cheers

Seeing as they already scooped up the head of webos design (Matias Duarte) I'd say Google agrees.

Won't be. BB10 will be on their new devices only.
And I won't break any rules this time, I'll make sure to ask permission from the creator to edit his/her content and post it on our device, and this will be the LAST ROM I will be porting, if I do. After that, I'm done porting and I will be upgrading to either the iPhone 5 or the HTC One or S Blaze
OT: Which should I get?
(A) a Nokia Lumia windows phone
(B) An HTC One/One S
(C) an iPhone 5
(D) a Galaxy S family phone
