And then people wonder why android apps arent "polished" and how iphone is the best thing in the smartphone world. As an IT guy you should know how much work goes into developing an app.i'm an IT guy too. and i know it isn't an easy task,why develop if people are not willing to pay because its "Android" and expect everything for free? And i've been hearing this "polished" jargon for a long time now? what are you referring to exactly? that the icons are not as shiny as the ones on the iphone?Gingerbread is glitch free on almost every device right now and ICS is butter smooth compared to every alternative smartphone OS. or is it that iphone apps work completely differently than the ones on android? (last time i checked they were exactly the same). Frankly if you call yourself a linux guy and think that supporting the Android developers isnt worth your money. you might as switch to an iphone . because you are in the wrong section .

motorola's service network is problem-free. Their staff is decent (but remember its the chaff that circulates among all dealers sooner or later). I had to use them lately and they were GOOD - touchscreen replaced in 20 min flat and is still waterproof! Of course, if you do manage to do something stupid - like soft-brick your phone doing some silly hacking attempt then all bets are off (because their rather limited skillsets will be challenged). A BHPian did so, and still got a warranty replacement on motherboard (albeit after a week of delay since wrranty claim was there). So no real concerns on that account. EDIT: oye roy - I have spent almost 4k on android software till date ![]() Last edited by phamilyman : 11th April 2012 at 22:24. | |

I want to correct my previous general statement that ICS on Nexus S is slow - their phones were really smooth and fast. So the first phone I played with seem to have some sort of issues. By the way, I have bid good bye to the slow MIUI-Au ICS and flashed this: [BETA 0.5.3][07.04] ICS for Desire[ALL HBOOTS][4.0.4] - xda-developers Guess what, this ROM is smooth and fast! There are couple of known issues though, but this CAN be a daily driver. | ||

And MIUI isnt a must-have anymore. ICS is quite functional and has plenty of eye candy too. | |

| ![]() And as far as I am concerned, I am simply fed up with ICS - be it the crawling slow progress in stabilization of the ROM (still no HWA), or the fact that apps simply close by themselves, some camcorder apps don't work. Will go back to a stable GB ROM sometime this week. |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() A question to guys who picked up Atrix 2 from India. Could you please confirm the model being sold here is 4G LTE enabled? Why I am asking is because, HTC One X which is released in India doesn't seem to be LTE enabled and only the dual core US model is having LTE HW. A bit concerned since India will be soon on 4G and Airtel started launching their 4G network. Prices seems to be comparable to 3G and at the claimed speed of 40Mbps on mobility, LTE seems to be a necessity rather than a nice-to-have feature ![]() |

ICS looks to be way better and, at least on my device, more stable. Quote:

For example, I bought my iPod Touch after I bought my iPad. Every single App, that I had Free or Purchased on my iPad worked on the Touch straightaway. I faced ZERO issues there. That is not the case with Android Apps yet, if I were to switch devices, is it? Quote:
However, with Apps, the underlying motive is Profit. So, if an App ain't guaranteed Secure, Scalable and Backward/Forward Compatible, I would not pay for it. After all Function isn't everything! As I said earlier, things are getting better in Android, by the day, so who knows if I start buying at some point of time in the future. Quote:
I'm actually finding ICS better on my lazy phone, than either the stock GB or the various GB ROMs I tried out. True that the camera doesn't work yet, but everything else does! And, it is faster, smoother and looks better. Till date (2 days now) I have not yet had a Force Close, and I used to have 8-10 FC's / day on the CM7.2 that I was running earlier. | |||||||
