Ok I just watched the new apple keynote introducing the new iPad and it made me hate my galaxy note. Ok maybe that's too drastic but it just proves that the galaxy note's os is not up to par. I know that this isn't an iPad replacement and if I wanted one I should go buy it but the Note was like an alternative to the iPad or maybe not but still the os is pretty outdated when in compared to ios. I'm not talking bout the specs I am talking about the os, I really hope ICS comes out soon and doesn't dissapoint, the new keynote I watched kinda made me feel like getting the note was a mistake!!!
I don't know really upset over the lack in the android os, what do you guys think??

Please, do tell us what bothers you so much? You want to get Facebook integration as well maybe?
I think you should sell your note, buy the new iPad,get off the forum. Bye
From the big ole Note
Whoa dude u don't gotta be so harsh, and who said anything about selling my note, is it so difficult to see that the android OS is just not good enough??
Composed on my Samsung Galaxy Note using XDA Premium app
Android is hundreds of times better for anyone that likes to customize and fool around with things. If u like an idiot proof os then apple is for sure the way to go, problem is if u don't like something on the ios there isn't much u can do about it.
am I wrong about this? Do they have custom roms on iphones and ipads? I seriously doubt it.

I'm not talking about the customization I mean I like it but I'm talking about feature wise
Composed on my Samsung Galaxy Note using XDA Premium app
can u just enumerate the extra features u think ios has over android as of now???
That was exactly what I was thinking off
I'm not saying android sucks or I hate the note, I'm just saying that the OS the note runs on is sorta old and lacks a lot when compared to iOS. There are ups to certain things like android has flash which I'm really thankful for. Still its just not as feature packed, maybe it's just the jealousy talking, hopefully it will be cured with ICS

Again, what features are you referring to with regards to ios?
Being an owner of an ipad 2, I am curious as to what features ios has that I may have missed out on.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Fabu, in this whole cribbing session you have not mentioned one thing that is there on iOS that you miss on Android. Could you start now please?
And this comes from a user of a note and a ipad 2 and get to play around with a bunch of other android/ios devices in my capacity at work.
If anything its the other way round for me. It's the os on the ipad/Iphone that stops me getting one of those over an android.
Plus the fact I would have to use itunes which I hate with a passion.

Come on mate, someone have already asked which apps and os-wise things are better? Give us the features that the ios almighty has.

I have made a thread about missing ios features on android any ways for starters the web browser, it would be nice to have the reader features and a nicer ui also should have the define word features for words we don't understand built in the phone
Look guys I don't wanna start a ios vs android war or neither do I wanna fight any one here I'm just saying there are some features the android should add from ios just so its more anticing. once again I'm not saying android sucks it just could do better
Ps I'm not comparing the note to the new ipad as I know its not fair the new ipad just came out while the note came out last year I'm just comparing to ipads in general

Hehe, I'm laughing hysterically at you! iOS has been exactly the same for five years and you claim Android needs to be updated? A define word feature in a browser makes you complain about the OS? On Android you can have different browsers with plugins, so use the one that's best for you. On iOS you can't even do that!
You're a typical, ignorant Apple user so go buy an iPad, I'm not gonna.

my friend has an ipad and he had a 3gs before he got his new s3. he loves android but still he is a noobie. same with me..before i moved to android last year i only had iphones...although the last year they kinda did not do anything to push the iphone to the next level i still highly rate them. so as you said as well. looking with very high interest what they will bring to the table this week coming. should be interesting to see what they will find as "innovating" and time to revolutionize
Personally, I think mt HTC One X LTE runs quite poorly for the specs and is not a good representative of Android.
The GS3 is amazing though and my old phone, the Xperia S ran quite well despite the older Qualcomm S3 chipset.
I already guessed what's the next ios/iphone5 look like/features are... the ios is going to be exactly same as is now. Same layout. Same icons, same ui. Iphone5 going to be same as is now with a larger screen. No microUSB, no MicroSD , non removable battery.... .... it's time people wake up

I hope thisnisnt the case though if history is any indicator then this is exactlynehat we'll see. iOS is so stale and its time for some big changes and ideally some sort of marriage between osx and ios for the ipad- while the ipad may be the most popular tablet with the most app support, it certainly doesn't have an ideal OS or even one that capitilizes on the available real estate.

I guess that means it must run Android then, because if it runs iOS it doesnt stand a chance of doing so..
Lets be frank here, it will look much the same as the current iPhone (boring), it will feel much the same to use (boring), it will be locked down and restricted like the current iPhone (boring), and will have the same (boring) baristas, emos are douches queueing up for it on day one. Ill pass.

At this point Apple buyers are like BMW buyers, they will buy any old ridiculous turd as long as it has the badge on, so really statements like this are just sermons for the iSheep, and pretty meaningless to the rest of us. As long as Apple makes it they will buy it, why? because Apples says its best and therefore it is. Its almost a religion now..
But dude, it has an apple logo.

Some rumors I've read claim that it will be equipped with a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4.
I think that a good optimization can make the difference, placing Apple's smartphone between HTC One S and Android quad-core phones.
IMHO Apple will put a enormous capacity battery into the iPhone...
I guess since we're comparing a phone that will be out several months later that doesn't even exist yet; we'll compare it to another like phone... I'm sure the GSIV will put the iPhone 5 to shame then lol.

I cant see that, Apple will want their own CPU in there (and by that i mean a modified Samsung as the A4 and A5 were). It will probably have the A5x.
PErsonally I'm quite excited for the iPhone 5 and what it will bring.
Having had a look at the rubbish minor "new" features for iOS, I'm thinking Apple will have drastically improved the hardware of iPhone 5.
That is good for the whole industry
I'm sure the new iPhone will be excellent. Without new iPhones and new Galaxy's wouldn't it get boring. These companies need to push out great phones to keep giving us great products.

I don't think smarts has anything to do with it really. Rooting and installing ROM's is a whole lot easier than jailbreaking and using it's related tools, etc..
I just think the 'average' Android user and the 'average' iOS user could really care less..
every new device,if the job is done well, is goint to become leader at the time of its introduction it will be same with iphone 6 and then again with galaxy s4, etc.

I think it was a clever move by foxconn. The more people that get the s3 the less that will be available 2 sign up for a 2 year contract on the new iphone and the less orders foxconn will receive . And consequently the less money they make.
I personally think the iphone is easier for people to use who are novices. And it's more stable. However the s3 if you know how can do so much more.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA
Ok before I get started I would like to stress I am no fanboy of either apple or android... I simply like good products... So no flaming please.
Now down to business, the biggest problem with the S3 (yes I own one) is the fact that samsung (and all non GED devices to be fair) seem to forget the fundamental rule... Optimize the software to run effectively on the hardware. The galaxy nexus (Yes I own one) for me runs just as fast as the s3 in terms of web browsing and general use... Yes the animations are slightly smoother on the s3 but how is it possible for the browser to not have any significant speed improvement??
Fact of the matter is that apple will optimize the iPhone 5 to the extent that it doesn't need the hardware the s3 has to run as fast (rest assured as always it always does, will flatten the s3 in benchmarks and browser speeds).
Apple seem to understand that optimisation is the way forward and this is why the next Nexus is a no brainer... Touchwiz can do all it does but it will never run as smoothly nor work as well as AOSP.

XDA Members & I9300 Owners:
Here we are... at the end of yet another long statistics and promises-laden tech event. The devices were many; the showstoppers few. Yet here we are... flipping through XDA as usual. What devices caught your eye? What devices surprised you, and what devices did not? Will any of you be jumping ship from the I9300; and if you will, are any of you valued developers? How have the events of the past 24 hours changed your foreseeable future? More importantly, how do you think the past day has changed XDA's foreseeable future? Do you see high-traffic camera threads in XDA's future? Do you see Windows Phone 8's clean build usurping the DIY appeal of Android? What are your thoughts?

I agree with most of that. The Note always attracts attention. However, even with as much of a hit as it was, I don't see myself buying one. I already have an N7000, and I'm not too fond of the switch from 1280x800 to 1280x720 or the lower DPI. The N7000 was already right on the border between visible pixels and retina-size pixels.
On another note, did anybody notice the 7" gaming tablet from Archos? They always make the crappiest stuff. Then, out of nowhere, they announce this kick-ass beast. I'll be getting one of those for sure!

That looks like the S1!
Nokia must be panicking now after the specs of the windows phone were released. It's an awesome package. Did you see the back of the device? It's beautiful (the front not so much, as already mentioned). Why the GSIII doesn't have that quality is beyond me. Metal over plastic every time. It's a no brainer. It oozes quality.
In the end though, it's a windows phone. That in itself will mean the development of the device (from here and professional developers) will be limited.
Still love the back though.

2) Is there an app that works, to record telephone calls both ways without the beep.
3) I have already had huge responses over the volume hack, thanks everyone.

Yeah I noticed most iPhone users are too dumb to ever learn and love android. iOS is perfect for idiots and grandmas to use. So... I say stick with your icrap last thing we need is to convince another iPhone user to switch.
I tried switching a few iPhone idiots over and I've given up. They always complain how it's so hard to use and blame me for talking them into it, not my fault that using iOS for so long has killed off most of their brain cells.
Thanks everyone
Can I thank everyone for their input, even to those who thought my topic was a dumb. I want a new phone and bored with apple so no dis-respect, I have taken onboard everything said and decided to give the S3 a try. I have the option of returning it so I have nothing to loose and everything to gain.

Don't believe the iSheep hype that IOS has more Apps than Android because Android can do anything iPhone can plus anything else you could ever wish, and the only reason IOS has more Apps is all the junk on the App Store that's never even been downloaded once.

I traded iPhone 4s for SGS3 and I like it much more. There arent limits like you cant set mp3 for a ring tone or alarm tone etc. Stock SGS3 is more open and adjustable than jailbroken iOS.

Android has all the things you mentioned mate you can get apps for everything you mentioned i hope you give it a try and hopefully you like it..
True, there are fanboys everywhere and its disgusting. But @ OP, you just figured out the matrix, your free now and know the truth! I'm pretty sure whatever you can do on a jail broken iPhone, you can do it on an android phone ( maybe even without root ) so try the S3 and keep it if you like it, if not you can always, return it. Good luck

Hi Mbeaumont.....Let me share with you my personal experience....I use to have an IPhone 4....and was quite happy with it, till I realized that whenever I want to explore more the OS and make the best out of it....was a real nightmare, no way to play with the system even Jailbroken, the limits are there and the Break of the Jail was only a shadow door to endless issues and tricky sophistications....I'm not blaming Apple for doing that.....I do have all the Apple MacBook serie......but to me if you are an explorer and want to learn more about any device you buy the choice specifically in the mobile market is very obvious.
Since I have bought the S3 back in July......what an amazing experience it is.....this phone and especially this Android OS is a piece of art that will make every single day of your life for passionate people like me.
Finally I quote John Keating in the famous "Dead Poets Society" movie........"There's a time for daring and there's a time for caution, and a wise man understands which is called for."

I agree. Being polite costs nothing.
I made the same switch you did, and would not go back. My mother is now happy with the iphone 4 i gifted her, and I won't be leaving android anytime soon. But it's true that the app market is less appetizing on android atm, even if this is changing with time, and the change is speeding up. Yesterday handled the iphone a bit, looked like a kid's toy to me, even if i recon being happy using it all these years. Also the gs3 is HUGE compared to it and takes a little time totake a good grip on.

The camera on the iPhone will be great plus I luv the way it's all (apps and data) backed up (to do this on Android I have to root and lose my warranty) . I have found my note 3 to be good but the new iPhone could be great... Are you thinking of changing?

What the hell is an iphone?
Hell no.
I used to say if Apple ever released an iPhone with 5inch screen or more I'd probably return. However, not so much now - I own an iPad Mini and can't really see much benefit to using another Apple product. Plus with my flashing addiction now, it'll never happen.

I was with iPhone from the beginning until the S3 came out, that was when I first switched over to Android, but Android has come so far now, where as iOS is falling behind. if you could flash custom ROMS on iOS... then I could be tempted back.. There's certainly no denying Apple Hardware is pretty damn good. (or run Android on Apple Hardware, I think this may be possible one day - especially as you can run windows on a MAC)

don't forget some of the chip is manufactured by samsung
and Samsung is coming out with its Tizen o/s.
don't know how it looks like in deep, might be the same with iOS.
Nah, can't stand iOS now after using Android for so long... Have an iPad 4th gen and i hardly use that because i find iOS to be just eurgh... Used to be an Apple fanboy a while back... Never again i'm afraid...
We have to wait the new version of Android first... however since I bought the note 3 I also sold the ipad air...
No I won't. The thought has crossed my mind many times but no. I won't go back to the horror called iTunes or not being able to download stuff even via safari (I used to have both an iPhone 4 and a Galaxy s1). Back then I'd have to admit IOS was better than Android. Nowadays since jellybean I wouldn't recommend IOS over anything. The fact that you will be limited in every sense of the word still makes it a big NO for me. Just my 2c.

The camera on the iPhone might just be another 8mp shooter. And no, I wouldn't be using something copied.

So you can change keyboards and use widgets.
Wonder how long till Apple sue someone for breaching their patent on them?
Also, seen some adverts from Apple on TV and as usual, they parade some new features in such a way it makes it look like they were the innovators of them. Very clever... Unless it's just iSheep that believe that ****

What is this iPhone you speak of? I wouldn't swap for an iCrap even if it had a mechanical arm that scratches my arse for me! Closed source rubbish! That 5.5" display is gonna be another crappy retina display like the previous 4 generations of iCrap!

Despite the rumors, I don't think apple will release the 5.5 inches screen, only the 4.7 one and a tweak on the iPhone 5S. They will not be as stupid as to lose the size their user base loves so much... I mean, with all the BS on one hand operation we've had to put up with for so long, they wouldn't be as dumb as to pass on that, right?
Apple is copying many of the best Android features, making itself more attractive to Android users, but in all honesty, it's not enough.
Like aluminum? The HTC one m8 is better, larger, sports better sound, and has all the Android stuff apple has not copied yet. Like better looks? The LG G3 is just amazing... Then there is price... Flagship material like the one plus one or the find 7 are half the price of the iPhone, with better specs and way more flexibility.
I don't know, I really don't see any reason to move to Apple.
