i should go to the windows store and get a new phone lmao

you really should

if you're committed to not buying an iphone for some reason then winpho is the least bad option

in that it works 100% oob. you don't need to gently caress with it, and to a certain extent, you can't gently caress with it

there are no apps, but it works as a basic smartphone without any bullshit

or, you know, just go get a free-with-purchase-of-medium-beverage iphone 5c and stop this nonsense altogether

I might get a nexus 6 from my company to gently caress around with. I am plenty content with my all apple lifestyle but having a dumbass phablet to play around with could be fun. I also make mobile apps for a living so I guess it's educational or some poo poo

Something called whisper push occasionally locks up my phone completely when I text by force closing, relaunching itself, then immediately force closing. Forever.

Bloody posted:

dang. well then lol @ cm people for loving up so badly. altho the bit where i cant open the google play store because it force closes itself is also nice. also my camera doesnt really work right now and snapchat force closes after a second or so. lol.

Bloody posted:

and gmail isnt push email to my phone any more, i have to go and manually refresh it, which is super slow. i refresh it and a few minutes later i get a dozen notifications of new email.

Bloody posted:

and i cant hit report on any of the force closes because that just causes google play services to force close

yeah its through cm's autoupdater. i just updated and suddenly had some random trashfuck new version. owned, i guess.

installed and now its worse lmao

when we wireframe and set up for design for an app that's gonna be for both ios and android, we literally spend 90% of the time doing the ios part because it doesn't loving matter if you nail the design language of android or not because it'll be co-opted in the next version with a whole new set of guidelines anyway.

and yeah android users are scum of the earth who will fight tooth and nail to avoid paying 1 dollar for anything even if they themselves admit to being reliant on the app for everyday functions, and they will stack your review wall with bad ratings if you attempt to make money through advertisements that they can't block with adblock.

my 4G moto G is Really Good, on the flip side I have an android tablet that is super fail

previous android phone had cyanogen mod and as time went on it got worse, until they stopped supporting it. realyl weird bugs like plugging in headphones and turning the 3.5mm jack the wrong way would stop whatever the phone was doing and immediately open up the playlist editor
