This is what it's like using a samsung phone. One list of contacts only tells lies.



This poo poo drives me up a loving wall, why the gently caress did I pay out the rear end for your fancy folding Phone Samsung if I have to be asked which duplicate Samsung app I should use all of the time for everything? Is it worth rooting the drat thing to remove all of the excess poo poo it came with?

I have never been able to access my voicemail on 2 phones running now because I don't want to change my phone number.

So no voicemail for like 4 years I have to tell everyone don't ever leave me a voice message.
I went in to like the ATT and Verizon store and they're like yeah we can't help you

Something to do with Samsung phones I had an S10 and now I have their S20 FE phone

I like the phone but I do wish I could listen to voicemail

My samsung phone is pretty old and every samsung update makes the samsung phone perform worse. Like 80% of its samsung memory is just immediately consumed by garbage samsung apps I've never touched, never will, and didn't want. I can't get rid of them, or disable them. I can only assume this is a ploy to try and force people to upgrade to a new samsung phone.

My in-laws both have Samsung S-somethings and whenever they ask me how to do something it's almost always "what the gently caress is this, just use the stock Android version. Also for the love of god stop using the Verizon texting app"

i had a nexus back before they came up with the name "pixel" and it was a pile of poo poo and i'll never buy google hardware again

it did get software updates for a few years, and was barely useable through all of them

I had a Galaxy Nexus (first device with 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich :woop:) and it was awesome until the next Android release. Then it was slow.

Pixels are better. They've never had very good camera hardware or crazy specs but they hang in there a long time

E: although apparently the Pixel 6 finally has something approaching a real camera? I haven't seen one yet

How much do I cum? The answer might surprise you!

pixel 6 camera is really good and i can overlook the beefy awkwardness of the phone. its only kinda awkward but also super slippery, but the construction is nice, and the pixel 6a isn't going to have the new camera but its going to presumably have the weird and heavy form factor. so uhhh? kinda misses the point.

imagine buying anything but a Pixel for an Android phone lmao

I've been using Pixel phones for the last six years. Was looking to update my Pixel 4 but my work had money left over in their tech slush fund just gave me a brand new S22. ooooh thank you??

I spent two hours replacing the Samsung apps with Google ones and with Nova launcher I got it as close to how I like it as possible.

But having two clocks, calendars and diallers is frustrating as hell

Love buying a phone boasting a whopping 16 gb of storage only to find 14 of those are taken up by useless bullshit i didn't want and can't remove (some can be "disabled", which does not in fact remove them), and the remaining 2 get eaten by using instagram for five seconds.

Also gently caress all apps that refuse to work if you root the phone, i will murder anyone that writes software of this kind.

My 'waterproof'' Samsung S10 broke when I gave it a quick rinse under the tap one day.

My 'waterproof' Samsung Galaxy Active 2 watch that came with a swim app and was advertised with images of people swimming broke after 4 months of swimming. (Warranty doesn't cover water damage).

My next phone was a 200 dollar Chinese Poco X3 that's got a flagship level cpu in it for a quarter of the price and lol I'm never buying a Samsung anything again.

Managed to uninstall most of the bloatware using ADB, except for something called 'Work profile' which I don't know the package name for. Apparently it doesn't actually delete that poo poo altogether but to do that I'd presumably have to root the phone and since I'm not very tech-savvy I don't wanna blow it up by accident. At least I don't have to look at all of it any more.

Google Pixels are good because they’re like a big red flag that says “This person is a weird goon/computer toucher. Stay away from them unless you want to be bored to tears listening to stories of their favorite final fantasy game, or like, coding or some other dumb bullshit.”
