Haaaaaa.
I have been using an iPhone since 2008.. and I do not like it anymore.
Shortly after my vibrate button broke off the side of the phone, I began to realize how little I use what the phone was designed to do. Apps.
I plan to get a Samsung Galaxy s2 or equivalent and go the way of the Droid.

I have never liked Iphones. Don't know why you would go for one when phones like Galaxy S and S2 are there.

I think everyone that hates a phone has some issues rofflmfao

Nope. Ask my ex-crackberry user friends. Ever since Whatsapp came out, they've been leaving RIM in droves.

I want an iPhone so bad so that I'll sell it for $600 and I'll buy a laptop and some Bacon, that's got to be lots of Bacon.

I guess I just don't understand the whole "hating a product" thing.

I don't like iPhucks because they are too expensive and break easily.

When you have to work/fix iCrap (yes they do fail more so then you think) you tend to dread seeing them come in.
They are not serviceable friendly, (and I am talking about ALL iProducts) overpriced, underpowered and marketed to sheeple by a n narcissistic prude.
Case in point, It takes between 40 to 60 min to replace the MB in a iMac if you know what your doing. A PC motherboard can be swapped in under 10 min.
All iProducts mfg after 2008 require specialized tools just to work on them and in some cases only available from Apple.
I had to purchase a special driver just to open up the macbook Air's for $30. They sent me a plastic handle with the special bit worth all of $2 at harbor freight. (if they carried it)
I have asked many of time to be able to takeout some frustration on one and shooting any apple product would be fun but it would not compare to the satisfaction of using tannerite.

Not really hate for the phone, i hate the people that use it. I see it everyday at work when people pull it out. whats the first thing i see even if it has a case? the white apple logo on the back. haha even the way people hold it when talking they don't cover the apple logo...

Haha nice.

Galaxy Note N7000 16gb or Iphone 4S 64gb???

hello everyone. .
my dad has been using an iphone 4 32gb right from it's month of launch till date and finally he is getting a new phone.actually he is getting the phone of his choice for free as a gift and i wanted to know whether you guys think it's wiser to get the iPhone 4s 64gb since it's much more expensive at around 4100 Qatar riyals($1125) compared to the note 16gb which sells for 3000 Qatar riyals($823)at virgin and vodaphone stores..he has been using ios for over 2years now and he can still sell the 4s if he doesn't like it and get a better phone later..plus iPhone's don't come defective straight out of the box like the note..if i could trust Samsung's quality then i would never even consider the iphone!!! i really don't want dad to be in the same dilemma that i am currently in!!!
me and my mom both have note 16gb...mom purchased hers from india for 31000 rupees($600) at the month of launch and she also got a nokia touchscreen phone worth 4500 rupees($90) for free from the eBay promotion that was going on at the time.btw this is a brand new in sealed box phone and the cheap price is because Samsung prices its phones reasonably in India right from lauch and my dad purchased mine from doha at virgin mobile store for 3000 Qatar riyal ($823) and sent it over to me in India.. btw he got the money back for it though since it was also a gift from some company
my moms phone is manufactured in Korea and it does not have any problems except for the banding and clipping..on the other hand my phone is manufactured in Vietnam and right from opening the box i noticed many problems with
1)there is a very faint pink spot in the middle of the screen only visible in low brightness with a grey or white background..after i noticed it once it drives me mad while browsing or reading e-books
2)while using the S-pen it registers the touch when bringing it close to the screen..i don't have to touch the screen.when it's brought close even at 3cm it registers the touch.. the weird thing is that it occurs only when using the phone in specific positions like while lying on the bed or using the phone inverted
3)the battery life on my device sucks!!!! my mom gets over 1day of light usage on her device..but she makes around 4-5 hours of voice calls!! i always use my device heavily but 4-5 hours of backup its unacceptable!!!!
when i took the device to a local service center in India they said that i would have to pay money to get it fixed since its out of country purchase!!! WTF IT'S A FRIGGIN' $800 DEVICE AND ITS DEFECTIVE ON ARRIVAL AND SAMSUNG REFUSES TO PROVIDE SUPPORT!!!!
anyway I'm suffering for trusting Samsung and purchasing its device and I'm paying the price for putting my trust and money on a company with no quality control who sells defective devices
i was using an iPhone 4 32gb myself and i got it around the time of launch along with my dads phone and to be frank i haven't faced a single hardware problem till date and now i regret selling it off when i got the news that i was getting a note
i don't want my dad to be in the same situation that i am currently in and i think he should go for the 4s 64gb
what do you guys think???

But Iphone 4s too has problems.....A friend of mine is waiting for a replacement for the 4th time for his iphone 4s.Its just 1 week old.Its not at all holding the charge.It charges for almost 12 hours to reach 100% and drains to swith off state in just 20 mins....Its unbelievable but its true.All the four mobiles had the same problem.So be careful if you are going to 4s

"the iphone doesnt come defective out of the box" ask my wife on her 4th ip4s lol. You and your ******* family need iphones. Theres a reason my technically challenge relatives have iphones and blackberries.

why do you even bother asking such a question in a galaxy note forum,people posting here are definitely 'note' biased if not fan boys. ... (including me )
maybe you have already decided to get a note and you simple seek validation....

Did you actually type all that from a Note? (your signature says so~)
Then show that to your dad on a desktop or a laptop, then he himself would buy a Note.

i would ask him to get a note in a heartbeat if i am certain that he would get a device without any problems.. i just think with Samsung it is like a lottery.!!! if you are lucky you might end up with a device without issues otherwise you are screwed!! !!
i personally haven't faced any issues with my iPhone 4 and i used to have an HTC HD2(got wrecked inside a washing machine along with my track pants) and a Nokia N8 which didn't have any problems either...I've dropped my n8 a dozen times!! !! it used to be insured and i normally used it as a rough use phone but still it never had any problems other than slight dents even after i put it through so much

Definitely the Note.
- "old peoples" have "bad" eyesight and 5,3" will help much compared to 3,5".
- Note with S-Pen do a huge different.
- Both u and u mom already having the Notes and why not u dad too?
- See what u dad usually do with a cellphone and get the one that suits his needs.
Loan u Note to u dad, let him use it for few days and see what he got to say. Then get the one he is most satisfied with.

Best thing .. steal your dads phone and give him urs for 2 days, then give him back his iPhone..
You will see him immediatly asking for a Note as th gift

Note for sure.
So iphone too has problems. Alteast note has bigger screen and most important thing, its android
Android = from the people to the people by the people for the people.
ios = From apple to people.

lol that was hilarious...now let me be frank with you guys the whole reason i started this thread is because i personally am in love with the noteand i just wanted confirmation from people who have purchased it recently to tell me that the new production units are free from any sort of defects so that my dad can get 1..i can forgive Samsung once and i might just have been unlucky to get a one of a kind defective device which sneaked past quality control but even after soo many posts and more than 200 views not even 1 person has told me that Samsung now ships defect free units which makes me skeptical
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2 Beta-4

I cant understand how people use 3.5" screens still !
HTC one X could also be a choice if Note is not at home ....

Used to own IP4 and IP4s and sold them even when jailbroke there not much you can do to it. Only gay theming and little tweaks other than that if you buy one Apple owns you they are so cheap to do hardware upgrades which they should have done after Iphone4. Note is way better than any iphone releases I will even pick S2 than iphone4 or 4s. Only reason I kept my iphone before is because of my free apps but the way I see it now Market is improving and seeing more apps and games available for download.

now now. my dad runs a few mobile phone shops in malaysia and i have used almost any mobile phone that was available in malaysia. to say that samsung is like a lottery doesnt sound right. honestly, buying every phone is like a lottery. we had customers who bought their phones for less than a week and come back with problems after problems after problems and you just cant help but feel sorry for them. when iphone 4s was first launched, my dad sold 2 straight to one of his friend. 2 weeks later, both screens werent working at all. some complained that the battery life was worse than 3gs some had no problems.
saying N8 is a tough phone hmm. i have dropped my iphone 3gs many times and no problem with mine either. one of the lucky customers accidentally dump his phone while holding in his hands onto his car and the whole screen was gone.
so far, i havent heard of any note with problems from customers. my dad is using note since the first batch and i just got mine yesterday. so far so good with no problem for mine and his. maybe yours was just one of the lucky ones? my dad is samsungs priority dealer so we get to have all the samsung mobile phones first hand and that means we sell the first batch too.
IMO, get what you think is best for him. let him try yours and see if he likes android or iOS. What we think is good may not be good for him. consider this, will he be able to port from iOS to android? does he just want a simple phone to just make calls and text just like the way he used to? or he wants something more.
i would go for note anyday too.

stability and usability: iphone 4s
functionality: note

I did a little digging around the forum(mainly because I'm bored and jobless till college starts again in July)and I found out that many people have faced similar issues with the s-pen and the display!!!
I've even noticed a huge thread about display issues with the note!! !
So its not just me who is facing problems with this device!!
BTW Nokia n8 was the MOST DURABLE SMARTPHONE that I have EVER used!!!
It has fallen from heights ranging from 3-5ft many times,plummeted down stairs and still lived to tell the tale another day

could not get a nexus 4? may be it is good!

Hallo,
so i am one of the people who could not get a nexus 4 from the funny Store because of unknown erros in the ordering system! (after a call they say u have one, next day call the told me that there is no transaction)!
I personally (like many other) do not believe that the Nexus 4 is out of stock! unless they hat only 1000 pieces!
I believe there it is one of the following:
either
- It is a markting game! we do not have any information about how many pieces were sold! .... not really sure
or
- Google do not trust this LG nexus really and did offered only limited pieces to be sold, to see how does the Nexus 4 do in the every day use! a kind of real life test!, so they can (maybe/maybe not) prevent the failures in the next shipment of nexus 4. And that is why google did not set a pre-order option on the funny Store!
As i can see it is really better that many of us could not get a nexus 4 first shipment (may be last shipment too!). I also do not like to buy a phone which i did not hold in my hand! or a phone which is not really tested yet!
So be happy like me because u did not buy the nexus 4 yet!

I'm sorry but this sounds like your trying to convince you're self and others that its OK you didn't get. BTW I did get one and am stoked. I'll test it and let u know.

No i am not, i can still get one for 60$ above the price of the funny Store, that is not the Problem.
Then plz can u explain to me why was that not really professional from the Master Google?

Funny how none of those reasons could actually make someone "happy" they didn't get one... its not like you just broke the news that the device is a nuclear time bomb at T - 6:66

Well, everything has its good side. Those who weren't able to get a Nexus 4 can wait and see people's impression about this device, more reviews (besides the wide anandtech review), possible device issues, etc.
I admit I will buy a Nexus 4 as soon as it becomes avaliable again, but I'm also worried about the non-AOSP thing. So let's see hot it goes now on.

That's exactly what I told myself on my way to work after my attempts to place an order failed - until an hour later when my wallet showed an accepted order along with confirmation email-and I changed my mind:laugh:

OP that sounds really stupid. period.

I personally think that it's better to wait, since I want to see how durable the device is. And for the most part, I will be buying my Nexus 4 when either Ballistic Cases/Otterbox/Trident release a case for this phone, idk something about that back glass gets me a little worried about how sturdy this phone is...

I don't know how you can say that...I had to cry myself to sleep

Why not go with an official bumper case? That is the lightest thing that will protect fully against falls (unless you drop it on an uneven surface where the glass touches first.. unlikely)

Are you serious? You really think that there is enough time between the first batch arriving and being used and shipping the second batch of phones they're going to have enough information to make serious hardware changes? A little far-fetched methinks.
How about something positive like Google set a limit on the devices to ensure that each one was sent out in a timely manner and the orders could be processed swiftly before relisting the device that was hugely popular?

I don't think that the glass makes the phone not 'sturdy'. I would guess that the phone is well made, solid and also looks really nice because of the tough Gorilla Glass 2 backing. Obviously, this is purely speculative but I can imagine that with a bumper and - more importantly - a little care, this device will last a while and be great to have.

u cry because a phone? A phone that u can/may buy?!

All my phones up until now have been on contract, and each upgrade has never coincided with a launch. Part of the appeal with the N4 (along with the price of course) was to get a phone at launch for the 1st time. I'm happy to put up with teething problems -as a long standing Android dabbler, that is part of the masochistic fun. It is just nice to be in at the very beginning for a change.

Bought a fake Galaxy S5

Realized I bought a fake galaxy s5 earlier today. I didn't know there were so good fakes out there now, I haven't kept up with cell phones since the HTC EVO 3D. I'm mad, I bought it for $325 . I am so ****ing pissed at myself for being so stupid. I should have come on here first and done some research but I was dying for a new phone since I have been on the Nokia Lumia 900 for the past year and its on its last legs, saw the 325 price tag on CL and jumped on it thinking I got a good deal. Never again will I let impulses get the best of me. This is more of a rant, but also here is this guys information in case any of you are in the Central Florida region (this is a copy and paste of a CL ad I just made warning other users on CL):
This mother****er sold me a fake Galaxy S5. His ads are the following links:
links are blocked because I have less than 10 posts
His phone number is: 7862021013
And he calls himself T. He is a tall black man that drives a sedan. He will ask you to meet him in front of Walmart on Turkey Lake Rd.
DO NOT BUY THE GALAXY S5 or any phones from him, no matter how low he is going. The S5 is 100% fake. Run CPU-ID app on phone and you will see that it does not have a Snapdragon process but an ARM Cortex old ass one. It also does not have 16gb memory but 1.7gb. Also if you look at the box you will notice that it says 3GB of RAM when the original Galaxy S5 really has 2GB. This man is a lie and a cheat. Do not get conned like I have. I gave him $325 and am stuck with a fake ass replica.
This is only fair warning to other CL users, I would hate to hear of others fall victim to this con.
**edit: Updated with pictures of the fake s5. I should have looked at the box itself more closely, right there it said 3GB RAM, Fell so stupid.

For $325 for an S5 you should expect it to be stolen, Broken, or bad IMEI. Or in this case fake. I NEVER use craglist anymore due to this happening to people with any & everything. I also Highly Recomend Swappa.com I see fakes sold ALL the time on Cragslist. I Usually send harassing texts about to them as well. lol.
But could you not tell it was fake? I know they have gotten better at making decent knock offs but usually at first glance of the front and or software / Screen I can tell easily.

That wretch, I feel for you! Just make sure when you get the S5 get the new one with more memory. Just chalk it up as a lesson learned, heck you have a little toy to play with now.

I didn't look at it very closely, like I said I haven't really been in the market for phones for awhile. I didn't realize the fakes are so much better than it used to be. I also did 0 research before buying and the thought of a fake one didn't occur, stupid me. I also put up pictures just now to show you all what I got.

Ya. I don't know what happened today, normally I'm very skeptical, but the dire need for a new phone got the better of me and I really wanted the S5...thought i hit gold with this deal...I would rather have donated or gambled that money away then give it to that conning ****er on CL.

Orlando Police are jokes. They don't do squat EVEN if you give them all the evidence they need. I only have his phone number, I don't have a pic of him or his car plate. I should have been more skeptical when I saw him take out a burner phone...so stupid. I also put up pictures just now to show you all what I got.

The first giveaway is that the earpiece should be black and not silver.
So sorry you got screwed over man.

You have a phone number and a CR add, they could easily find him.
Dude, be honest here, you were buying a new phone for $325 from a dude in a parking lot. You KNEW you were likely buying stolen property and didn't care. Your not calling the police has nothing to do with their competence .. or lack there of.

Doesn't hurt to call and talk to PD.

Are you sure ?
Hi, Sad to hear that... But you 100% sure that its fake ? did you factory reset it once before use ? coz everything else its pretty perfect did you check camera before buy like selected focus n hdr ??

That's a legit looking fake man. Few minor appearances should've given it away. Software was a dead giveaway that if was fake. Sorry you got scammed. It sucks there are some scum in this world

No man, I just thought I got a good deal lol. 325 is still a lot of money for a stolen/fake phone. I have gotten good deals like that in the past before, and have met ppl in a parking lot, so this wasn't very off to me. But I think I probably will call them tomorrow.

Ya, you can tell just from the CPU-ID pictures I have there, the processor isn't the real one and theres only 2GB of usable memory...100% fake. Also the outside cosmetics are off. I wish I had researched this before I bought it. Stupid me. And no I didn't check the camera, I was actually in a rush to leave cuz it was 96 degrees out here today and I was sweating balls lolz. Next time I'll meet people in a starbucks or something and take time to look over what I'm buying

For me the first thing that popped was the led flash. In every fake cell phone it has that look/texture whereas in original phones it has a totally different look. For the author of this thread, this is something to be learned. Even if the phone is sealed in a box, open it, check it, look carefully at the exterior and then look in the phone info. If the seller does not want you to open the box simply pass, there are enough phones out there.

I just took a look at the home button and it is black, from the outside it does look remarkably well done! But I would never buy on a parking lot, that is always fishy, no matter where you are from.

Realized I bought a fake galaxy s5 earlier today. I didn't know there were so good fakes out there now, I haven't kept up with cell phones since the HTC EVO 3D. I'm mad, I bought it for $325 . I am so ****ing pissed at myself for being so stupid. I should have come on here first and done some research but I was dying for a new phone since I have been on the Nokia Lumia 900 for the past year and its on its last legs, saw the 325 price tag on CL and jumped on it thinking I got a good deal. Never again will I let impulses get the best of me. This is more of a rant, but also here is this guys information in case any of you are in the Central Florida region (this is a copy and paste of a CL ad I just made warning other users on CL):
This mother****er sold me a fake Galaxy S5. His ads are the following links:
links are blocked because I have less than 10 posts
His phone number is: 7862021013
And he calls himself T. He is a tall black man that drives a sedan. He will ask you to meet him in front of Walmart on Turkey Lake Rd.
DO NOT BUY THE GALAXY S5 or any phones from him, no matter how low he is going. The S5 is 100% fake. Run CPU-ID app on phone and you will see that it does not have a Snapdragon process but an ARM Cortex old ass one. It also does not have 16gb memory but 1.7gb. Also if you look at the box you will notice that it says 3GB of RAM when the original Galaxy S5 really has 2GB. This man is a lie and a cheat. Do not get conned like I have. I gave him $325 and am stuck with a fake ass replica.
This is only fair warning to other CL users, I would hate to hear of others fall victim to this con.
**edit: Updated with pictures of the fake s5. I should have looked at the box itself more closely, right there it said 3GB RAM, Fell so stupid.

Well lesson learned. Be glad it's only for $325. Please call the police and see if they can do anything. Thanks BTW, I just downloaded CPU-Z, nice app, everyone should use it when buying any used phone.

Damn that sucks bad man. I never buy on craigslist, I only sell. I feel for you buddy. Lesson learned for all of us.

The first giveaway is that the earpiece should be black and not silver.

You got it backwards because genuine phones have silver earpiece.

Incorrect. The S4 had silver, are you thinking of that? If you have a black S5 and your earpiece is silver, it's you that has a fake lol.

It's the white S5 I have and they do have silver earpiece, but maybe you right about the black version.

Next Nexus Phone OEM - Huawei?

A lot of rumours going around over who will make the next Nexus phone but this may be a solid one.
I Personally have not had any experience with any Huawei products so I can't say whether this excites me or not.
Would still prefer Sony to have a go.

Arrgh
Lets hope not.

I find it hard to believe that they would leave it in the hands of a successful brand but not as successful as any other OEM they could have if they wish to.

hmm
Probably come embedded with hidden spyware and a small nuke attached to the motherboard.

To build a Nexus which is supposed to have specs of a flagship phone and a killer price tag, how about giving OnePlus a try to manufacture it?

Supply is the main reason OnePlus wouldn't get the next nexus.

LOL, I was hoping LSD instead!

NEVER use those Chinese brand
The QC is a joke
Also, don't let them increase the market share

Just a rumor with nothing behind it. The specs are obviously made up (Snapdragon 820 in 2015 and 6000mAh battery lol) and we've seen thousands of these fake concepts in the past.

Definitely impossible.
They'd make it look like the iPhone anyways

Riiiiight. Leave it to the company with the absolute worst customer service in the business.

I read somewhere that LG will be releasing a new Nexus some time this year.

You know Huawei is Chinese and not American, right?

Hope next nexus will be chinese brand with MTK SOC.

Would be odd for google to chose a company from a country that blocks most of their services. Maybe a peace offering to get back into mainland China.

Why would you want a nexus with a sub par SOC?

i like to see LG again, but in the end i dont care much what manufacturer builds it. i dont care if chinese, russian, taiwanese or japanese.
but please, not Motorola. i just dont like that Design.
anyway, i guess nothing will beat the timeless nexus 5 design. just give me a better camera and a thicker battery :cyclops:

this could be good news actually. one sure thing is that its going to be more affordable. the one reason that kept me away from n6 is the price tag.

if Huawei is making the next nexus, then count me out. I'll stay with my N5.

would like to try it out as long as it does not have any "baidu" in it, besides smartphone market is having loads of competition from japan and Korea let see what the Chinese make of things
