[q] who made the switch to iphone?

i just had to do it lol .. not bad at all imo

You switched? I said I wasn't thinking about it..but now I am.
My phone pissed me all the way off today. Unplug from 10am at 99%...at 2pm I'm at 25%. 25!!!!!! And from 10am to 2pm, I was in my class for an hour and didn't even touch my phone. That's basically 4 ****in hours. 4! I'm still pissed. I've been pissed all day. Let me know how that phone is.
Edit: And you'll probably get flamed for this. People might come in and be like "THE EFF THIS GOTTA DO WITH THE E4GT!!" and this will probably get closed...if it does, pm me. I really want to know about the iPhone

Don't give two ****s about the iPhone. Enjoy being a sheep. And imo, you're trolling.

im loving this phone so far i got the 32 gig i have had all the top sprint phone 3d , photon, and the epic touch ......only thing i miss from my epic is the screen size ... so far speed very fast. better cam better screen i will update on batter life later

Not me. But, I know my daughter wants one. I will do it once the prices drop on Ebay for a clean ESN one off contract. I myself will NEVER own APPLE. It amazes me how people hated M$ years ago and now Apple is doing the same and it's ok. But to each his own. Hope it treats you well. My sister loved hers.

i am a fan of tech, not companies. If an apple product fit my needs from a phone standpoint, i would make the switch no questions. Right now, ET4G is what i am digging, but if you get what you need with an iphone great!

Will you ask siri why we have los

That is the way I also think.....I would switch if the 4s came out with a 4.0-4.5 screen, had a 4g radio would be even better if it had SuperAmoled. Right now it would be a downgrade for me on what I want out of a phone.

if it had 4.3" screen and wimax, I would have bought one
but for now, especially since its off contract, and id need at least 32gb.....who has $749 for a phone lol
Ill wait for the iphone 5 LTE version I guess

What a mistake
Just got my iphone 4s in the mail today and i regret it already after 5 hours,this os is so lame and boring theres nothing to it got to spoiled on android with customizing everything,not much different from when i had the very first iphone.forgot about no flash too wtf was i thinking listening to all these paid off reviewers that always give it over rated reviews and the pics are good but not as good i dont care what anyone says.pics i have take with my epic 4g touch are cleaner,brighter,sharper and better even when compared on my desktop,even with the random minor issues my 4g touch had it is still better by far.every issue could but fix with updates that should be around the corner.iphone 4s is a mistake and waste of money unless u like no flash or sd slot or just dont like doing cool things to the appearance of your phone,very plan os.selling on ebay tonight already reconnected my epic 4g touch,now i will never leave android.
you have been warned!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did the opposite 4 weeks ago, went from iphone on att to epic 4g touch. Happy that I did for many of the same reasons listed above, also the screen size, camera quality, etc..

Some people just don't care about all that stuff. They just want the thing their friends have, or the phone that everyone has. Ohh the Iphone has 3G, a 3 inch screen, and everytime I plug it up to my computer iTunes freaks out and a million pop ups appear. Yeah it looks great, I'll take 3 of them..... But its their lost.

My wife told someone at work she was getting a new phone and someone asked, what are you getting an iPhone. She was like no way, my husband won't let me and says they suck. Then another person who has one was like, no it doesn't everyone has one...
Yup, there you go folks that proves it all! iPhones are awesome because everyone has one! I am glad we got that settled.
Anyway, she got the HTC Rezound for Verizon. Believe it or not the screen is actually pretty beautiful on that thing. That device is what the EVO 3D should have been.
I would also be curious to see how many E4GT's sold just for Sprint.

Coming from a Droid Incredible

I am coming to Sprint (and locked into the network) from a Verizon Droid Incredible. I loved the phone and I am sad to see it go, but Verizon doesn't do well in my new location. Sprint is the best and I am torn. The area also does not have 4g.
My entire family has gone with the 4s but I am on the fence. I love the openness of Android. I have an old Ipod touch 2g that has been used just for music since I got the Dinc.
Is this the phone to get or should I just get an Iphone?

E4GT is an amazing phone period even with it being a bit older then the 4S. Honestly if you do love Android (as you have one already) You will love the E4GT

Epic Touch for the win! The screen size is the best, compared to the tiny screensize of the iPhone. You'll get more out of this device than the iPhone.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk

I had this phone and decided I wanted to try the 4s. The 4s was a great phone but in the end I missed Android so much and I really missed the screen size of the Epic Touch so I went back to the Epic Touch. If you really love Android and your on Sprint the Epic Touch is hands down the best phone Sprint has to offer at the moment.

Actually While I do love my android phones I don't have an issue telling someone they will like the iPhone more for what they are going to use it for. It's pretty simple if you like another phone use it if not stick with what you know. As it is there is a 14 day "period" of time he can use/try the iPhone 4S and if he does not like it return it and get the E4GT. Either way it's really up to him.

Samsung will not even talk about the SG3 period all anyone knows is "summer" and that's about it. And honestly that's not even saying much I will say this however even though the GS3 will have better specs then the GS2 the GS2 regardless is still a beast of a phone. Out of the box it stands against pretty much every single phone released right now including the GNexus. Like I've said in another post you do have a 14 day window you can test a phone out. Give both the iPhone and the GS2 a go and see which one YOU like more.

I find nothing appealing about the iPhone at all. My GF has a 4s, and I honestly cannot stand it. There's no way I could ever go from *any* android phone to an iPhone. Just looking at the iPhone 4s screen after using my E4GT makes it look like a pile of barf. Yeah, it has really high pixel density, but who cares when the screen is so small that your thumb can cover 6 buttons at once.

Apple is perfect position.

OK first off I'm not an apple fanboy or any fanboy for that matter I love tech and gadgets. Second it is a sad day for many people like me because I am tied to sprint for life probably mainly because of price and unlimited data. (That's not the sad part). So with that said I am tied to their phones and right now with the current phones and android it is a sad cluster f$%#. ICS is great just on its own but Sammy and HTC don't care. Updates come like whenever, maybe 8 months later to a year maybe never.
All future phones on sprint are a letdown at this point sg3, evo one, galaxy nexus is great but no lte. Android is just a hot mess I don't even know the point of pure Google of only 1 percent actually have it.
Apple is in perfect position because if the iPhone 5 is bigger and beautiful and powerful its a wrap. Once lte is up I can't find any reason to stay with Android or anything other. Google paved the way for apple to crush them because they have no standards. I have used android pretty intensely and its just all over the place. A bigger retina better battery iPhone will be a killer. And who knows what IOS 6 will be.
I know many of you will flame but if you can't understand at least one point then you are blind. I'm not bashing Android I love ics and wish I had it running perfect on my phone.

I don't quite see how android is a mess? Just because Samsung has touchwiz and HTC has Sense? You do realize that both companies do provide updates to their phones right? Yes, I realize the move from Froyo -> Gingerbread -> ICS isn't fast...but that's copmarable to IOS 3 -> 4 -> 5 (which is also about once a year). The minor updates in betweens are generally fixes for things, and a lot have been purely to patch exploits by jailbreakers which further locks the phone down. Officially our phones have recieved 2 updates, and we're waiting on the official 3rd to move to ICS.
The new iPhone will be a hit...because it is an iPhone, simple as that. The bigger size will attract some more people, but seeing how the 4S was a lackluster upgrade and it was Apple's top selling phone, crushing any android phone's sale. This next one will do the same. Personally, and I'm guessing for many on XDA who enjoy modding the crap out of their phones, iPhones aren't really an option...especially the way it is now making jailbreak exploits even harder to come by.

I think you're passing judgement on them before giving them a try. Their specs have been released, but you haven't held onto them yet. I don't think the next iPhone will be a mind blower either, it'll probably be similar to the specifications of the EVO LTE or SGSIII.
The SGS2 is definitely my kind of phone, the only thing I'll need is LTE when it comes to my area. We'll see how it goes.

my car uses gas but i can still buy diesel........people have pc's and buy games that they cant play on it because of hardware issues, just like phones, its YOUR responsibility to do a little research on if something can/will/properly run on your device.

I'm going to go ahead and shut this one down. Seems like a troll thread to me.
There is a place in the android general section that would better suit this discussion.

New Android User from iPhone

I'm very pleased with my new Galaxy S3!
Little background about me, I've had Apple products for 10+ years and have had all the iPhone models since original release. From iMac's to Airports and iPods.. I have them all. In love apple you might think. But I am no fan boy.
I have tried the Samsung flagship devices every time they release one. I have had a infuse 4g, and galaxy s2 prior to getting the s3. I've always returned them because it was difficult for me to use and for some reason always had rebooting issues.
I was very excited when I saw galaxy s3 information and released date. I got it the day it came out for at&t.
I did lots of research on vanilla android because I just hated touchwiz so much.
I rooted and installed CWM. And finally I ended up with Cyanogenmod. I'm extremely happy. And I actually like using my phone.
Everything my iPhone did is much easier on this and the screen is close to the iPhone 4s which was important.
Anything I don't like, I can change!
Just thought I'd share with everyone and I will be on here a lot!

Everything my iPhone did is much easier on this and the screen is close to the iPhone 4s which was important.
Anything I don't like, I can change!
Just thought I'd share with everyone and I will be on here a lot!

Hey, welcome to Android & XDA! I remember when I first picked up an Android device, because T-Mobile was literally trying to shove it down my throat for free, and they finally got me to bite by throwing in a $200 credit on top of it because my contract was ending, even though I had no intentions of leaving, lol! I was fascinated by it immediately and over the next two months I had acquired 3 more Android phones! I wish I would've discovered XDA sooner, I was on these other forums, and I kept hearing ppl mentioning XDA and I finally asked if it was a Rom or something? (Oh Boy did I get flamed for that)
The iphone hacking/jail breaking really doesn't compare to the vast amount of potential that a popular Android handset like the GS3 has. So many tweaks, mods, and choices its difficult to decide what you want sometimes? If you run into anything that leaves you at all unsure, then feel free to PM me, and if I can't provide you with a definitive answer then I'll point you to someone that can. Now I don't know if I was behind the curve at all, but it seemed like a lot to soak in at first for me, and I really hated asking what I thought were stupid questions, but it was how I had to learn sometimes. So if you are looking for anything, have any questions, or just want an opinion, I'll always answer Pm's.
Good luck, have fun, and most of all enjoy the community & your new toy!

Honestly making a post so I can add to post count for developer forum. This forum is like all the others with cool pictures huh

Ignore the haters and welcome I've gone back and forth myself every few months (had first 3 iPhones/4s and first two developer/MANY android phones). No phone is perfect so enjoy your current "fix."

Welcome to Android and xda (home)! I used an iPhone for awhile from February til the EVO LTE was released. I noticed a few things about the iPhone that lead me back to Android:
1) I got generally bored with it
2) I found the lack of options/settings annoying as I was unable to set certain personal preferences.
3) Organization of settings and preferences is illogical on the iPhone
4) Fake multi-tasking is pointless. If I wanted to have my pictures upload to sugar sync or Box I had to keep the phone open to the app or the upload process would stop until I returned to the app screen.
5) I can get more information faster on my Android phone than the iPhone- this is due to widgets, a more sophisticated notification drawer, and IMO better app integration and organization.
FWIW, I am currently using my 6+ year old VAIO but my next computer will likely be a mac book air and I stopped using an iPod when I started using smart phones.

I just switched from iPhone to android also. Like android a lot it beats ios hands down but iPhone is still on top when it comes to apps and games I wish that would change soon.

I remember when... LOL... I was on my old 8525 and guys were starting to port over android... you couldn't do crap but there were these crazy things called 'widgits'. I did the dual boot, but thought, winMO was here to stay!!!.... :silly:
Google owes the devs here a bunch of love for their work on pushing the OS as far as it has. Compare that to the "evolution" of the iOS - you'll see there's always some exciting new things coming our way. OK, not as polished as the apple apps.. but much more risque...

I can't stand the little bitty iPhone screen.

Same story for me bro. I I have every iPad out there (1,2,3), Mac Book Pro, MacBookAir, 4 iPhones, and Apple TV. I am no Apple fanboi.

I left iPhone after being with one since its initial release. I stopped at the iPhone 4. If they had come up with something better then the iPhone 4s, I probably would've stayed but I got tired of Apple always releasing outdated stuff (small screen, no 4g, slow processor, etc)
Since the 4, I had the Dell Streak 5 , HTC Inspire, Samsung Galaxy Tab (hacked to use as cell phone), Samsung Galaxy S II, and now the S III.
The main reason I am with Android is because of this forum, I love being able to change anything on my phone that needs changing, and the tons of roms that I can change to if I get bored of one.
