ketteringram Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Definitely a wind up. And I'm not talking about the phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 need photographic evidence! I recently smashed the screen on my android and couldn't access it. Then looked in the box and there was a lead, with a usb port on one end, I plugged a mouse into that, then a cursor popped up on the screen, meaning I could unlock it, and then transfer everything (backup) before the replacement phone arrived. Awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dimmu Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 And I bought Apple. Glass was intact almost four days, which I could count as a success. I think mobile phone which can take nuclear bomb is easier to produce than one which would cope me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, phone looks amazing, options and settings are great but can be complicated and it just doesn't feel as smooth as iOS. A tad too sensitive as well. Chrome is awful as ever, the system fonts look terrible and just looks a little child like. Auto correction is woeful and I thought Apple had that wrong. Have a few things coming up on the forum, needed a Android device to run tests on and see if I can recreate the popup viruses which I haven't yet. If Samsung did the hardware and design, Apple did the software but allowed Google to have a say on settings you would have a awesome phone. The VR unit that came free is just weird, only on 10 minutes and kicked the dog, missus screaming stay away from the TV. Kind of freaks you out.

Apps on the android are nowhere near as good, particularly betting apps. Whereas sound and picture quality on the iphone are really poor by comparison to my sony xperia. I also prefer the widget system on android where you don't have to open an app to access the information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted June 25, 2016 Author Share Posted June 25, 2016 In Chrome is there a shortcut to access bookmarks? Clicking the 3 dots then bookmarks then tapping what you want feels really long. Only one more click than Safari but you really do notice it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it renders Web pages really jumpy and there's no way to quickly go back to the top of the page but to be fair that's a system issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only one more click than Safari but you really do notice it slightly to the left of those 3 dots, you have tabs, a number, hit that number, then a + will appear, you can leave your tabs open.

Joe. Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I have the s7 edge best thing about it is the battery is incredible take it off at 7 before work and still over 40% by bed time, first phone on years that isn't almost dead by the end of work! Smashed the corner of the screen though sadly. Don't bother with anti virus unless you're installing apk files from the internet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssendonRam Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Much better than iPhones. Much, much better. I recently upgraded my HTC 9 to the HTC 10 but seriously thought about the new Samsung. Over the moon with it. Until yesterday. Now that the HTC10 landed in the bucket of boiling hot water I was carrying to the bath (hot water service died last Sunday and four attempts to fix it have worked for about an hour in total). Dead phone. Second degree burns on hand from rescuing it. The Samsung waterproof feature looks really valuable in hindsight. I'm not sure if it would have worked with boiling hot water though.

Carl Sagan Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Love android as it's so customizable. For browsers I flit between Chrome, Firefox and Opera. Though Chomecast is amazing so has sucked me in somewhat, but Firefox is superior. Didn't think anyone really bothered with bookmarks anymore. In Firefox the start page opens your most visited. In both browsers it's 2 clicks to reach bookmarks if you want to use them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
