abillybob Posted March 20, 2014 Author Posted March 20, 2014 Airplay to my HD Telly - does that count lol Meh got that with my Samsung....
scotyboy56 Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 Hey Scot, long time no speak!!! Yeah I totally agree, now I have a big screen I never want it to go haha nothing less than 5.5" for me too (as long as we are talking about phones still)! The 1520 would be my only other choice but due to the lack of some of the features my note 3 has like some of the things listed above I'd miss them all too much, may wait until Nokia bring our the new 1520 equivalent and then look at changing Hey mate I know hope its going okay at work now Haha yes defo talking about phones still but ye just can't stand doing stuff on peoples iphones now adays as they are so small I think it might be a while till they bring out an equivalent as the 1520 has some amazing specs and its just a beast of a phone But it does lack lots of features but I have noticed it has a lot of nice features that I haven't noticed on android or iPhone.
scotyboy56 Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 Airplay to my HD Telly - does that count lol There's a cool thing with windows phone where you can automatically share your screen to any internet enabled device by either scanning the QR code on the phone or by going to a specific website. This isn't constricted by your personal network either 1
mac_shinobi Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 Meh got that with my Samsung.... I'm not keen on android phones after using my other halfs Samsung, think that will be me sticking with iOS, just need to get an apple tv so I can do airplay etc

bossman Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 @abillybob: Got a great ROM running on my GS4 called "CarHDROM" absolutely solid as a rock, tried KitKat 4.4.2 and it totally bricked my phone until I rolled back to the one mentioned, has the option when it loads to install all the Galaxy apps but to be honest only use a couple. Been great since and also has dual boot functionality Give it a go, nothing to lose eh!

Also won't this void my warranty?
Arthur Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 I'm not keen on Android phones after using my other halfs Samsung That's like not buying a VW Golf because you hate Ford Focus'. Samsung adds a lot of its own customizations and (rubbish) apps to Android. Try a Nexus 5 - or anything else running the latest stock Android - and I reckon you will change your mind. 1

Maybe being pedantic / splitting hairs ( or whatever ) but I'm saying she has a Samsung Galaxy S4 and I've tried it and I just can't get on with it, maybe so but I would prefer to try it first before I buy or pay out money for it In the same way you take a car for a test drive before you shell out any money to buy / pay for it I am basically saying I have taken her phone for a 'Test Drive' and I did not like it.

Arthur Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 I've tried it and I just can't get on with it Isn't that more to do with what Samsung has done to Android, than Android itself? There are so many things you can do to customize Android - like making it look like iOS 7 - that there is almost always a way to fix any niggles you have. However, that's probably a topic for another day. 1

However, that's probably a topic for another day. I already have iOS 7 so why would I get an android to then make it look like another OS ? *shrugs* Im not overly keen on iOS 7 to be fair as they have almost made it like windows where if you don't have a live network ( so wireless connection of some description ) you get a repeated bombardment of message boxes saying you do not have an internet connection blah blah which I hate. If it's not connected then don't do anything and maybe put a message that scrolls along the top or bottom instead of repeatedly getting error message boxes I miss iOS 6 Only reason I went with apple this time around was due to the 64gb handset ( which is onboard as I don't want to muck about with memory cards ) If google can bring out a Nexus 6 with 64 or 128gb - I may be tempted to try one out in a store ( 02 / vodafone or whoever ) and see what I think Edited March 20, 2014 by mac_shinobi
featured_spectre Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 Funnily enough, I think iOS 7 is probably their best version of iOS yet. Looks nice, but not sure about its functionality as a whole as it is still majorly locked down compared to WP and Droid.

Don't get me wrong iOS 7 has nice features but its more the fashion or way that they have chosen to display error messages and not just one but a multi-tude of the same or similar message and you have to click ok repeatedly for one error message which is silly
difinity Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 Just thought I'd add, my friend has similar problems with his S4 after updating to KitKat, it's with the repair centre at present.
