[...] that's exactly one of the phones I meant you may need to root so problems go away, i heard many have lag problems with it etc. Might be wrong though, but then again why are there so many topics on "galaxy S lag fix"...
the first build of software was laggy and needed a fix (which could be resolved with a simple download of an app on the market - no rooting required) this was fixed ages ago and no longer requires any rooting/modifications - i have a stock froyo galaxy s and it runs like a dream ps. norris, check out this site http://forum.xda-developers.com/ there are some amazing developers on these forums and most phones already have the latest 2.3 update available from the developers]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=15858&post=282497 Thu, 03 Mar 2011 13:31:37 +0100 Reply by evd_- https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-15858/page-2/?recent=282550#post=282496 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=15858&post=282496 Thu, 03 Mar 2011 13:29:02 +0100 Reply by Grimm https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-15858/page-2/?recent=282550#post=282492 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=15858&post=282492 Thu, 03 Mar 2011 12:38:39 +0100 Reply by Saadyst https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-15858/page-2/?recent=282550#post=282491 Quoted from Norris
[...] The problem here is that you *have to* install and change stuff. For example, have a look at my phone. It's latest update available for it is android 2.1. New apps require 2.2 (to be installed on the SD card f.e), even the Google ones. So you either have the option to be left out (when it comes down to new apps) or have something which doesn't run fine (because it's custom) or you just take a product which works like the ones from apple.
I dont use Apple at all, but I was under the impression that Apple charge for major updates (compared to free for Android)? And not all iPhones are capable of getting the latest update anyway... and to get that update you need a new phone (similar to android)? It's a very weak argument in any case. Of course older phones get obsolete, that's one thing that even Apple has demonstrated very well with yearly updates to their product range. As I said, I don't use Apple at all, but the 3GS afaik introduced stronger graphics capabilities - so some games / apps that were designed for the 3GS wouldn't run on the 3G. Similar story for 4 vs 3GS. It's a fact of life. Also, you left out an important option at the end: staying stock, and everything is working (HTC Desire).]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=15858&post=282491 Thu, 03 Mar 2011 12:38:37 +0100 Reply by Dr-Gimpfen https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-15858/page-2/?recent=282550#post=282490 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=15858&post=282490 Thu, 03 Mar 2011 12:32:53 +0100 Reply by waebi https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-15858/page-2/?recent=282550#post=282483 Quoted from Pyle

compare the quality of the apps and the systems to each other. I constantly run into problems with my android phone while apples system just works. This obviously has to do with the multiple configurations of the devices tho. Not that it bothers *me* that much (because android has many favours) but I can clearly see that causal customers doesn't want to constantly test, optimize and update their device to get something working. The last thing I would want to have is a tablet featuring the some difficulties so I rather would get the IPad2.
I'm comparing as you say, and I have no problems with my android phone for everything I use it for. But you are probably somewhat correct when referring to fragmentation of android & devices, and on top of that, the option of the carrier to add their own bloat onto the device - this doesn't help. However, with that said, android devices typically offer a much higher degree of flexibility - whether it is hardware or software. It's up to an individual whether or not they want that, or if they would rather have a closed system (apple). I don't know what you mean by "test and optimise" - unless you are referring to people using custom roms.

it happens only if you start to root your device. if you dont root and everything is stock it just works :D thats why my Desire HD got no Custom ROM cos you have to tinkering all the time if you got a custom ROM]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=15858&post=282476 Thu, 03 Mar 2011 11:48:33 +0100 Reply by klansm3n https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-15858/page-1/?recent=282550#post=282473 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=15858&post=282473 Thu, 03 Mar 2011 11:41:32 +0100
