I am seriously on the verge of bying an any network S3 here in the UK. Just before I make the jump can I ask if :-
1) Is there an app like lockinfo for JB iphones that acts like a today screen, listing all your upcoming appointments, missed calls, messages etc from the lock screen? I am happy to JB the andriod if I can do this.
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.
If I can the the 3, then I will take the jump.
All the best

Yes but best to root for answer phone.
1. Executive assistant for lock screen info
2. Total recall s2 s3 for auto records
Ps swapped iphone 4s for s3 and love it,
Had to buy SwiftKey though for keypad!

Android can do all that and more. The most valid reason to switch from iPhone is that... it simple sucks more than tim cook on a Saturday night.

Honestly you should stick to the iPhone. If it does everything you need and has all the apps that you use why bother switching? If it's for faster performance or bigger screen wait for the iPhone 5.
I think you should stick with the iPhone 5.
Your thread is plain dumb.

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.
I thought the JB term was hilarious, of course its jelly bean...
Thanks all

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.
Sigh. This thread really goes to show how disappointingly immature some Android users are.

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. You can find executive assistant for lockscreen info in Google Play, also there are many apps for call recording..
Here on XDA you will find a lot of helpful infos, so it will be easier to get used on android

All types of people no matter what forum you go act like idiots, I mean come on the mans asking for help are you guys that immature that you have to abuse him instead of Helping him? He had the brains to ignore you all and still give it a shot..
Everyone wants to try something different just try your best to help. And if you do not have anything good to say just ignore it. Your all making the Android community look like it's full of douche bags seriously help or ignore them..
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.

All his criticisms can be easily alleviated with downloading apps from the Market, but for average Joe who just wants to use the phone as he bought it, he is right I'm afraid.
Out-of-box experience for Samsung phones is still nowhere near HTC, let alone iPhone. A great majority of phone users aren't elite linux hackers. They just want to buy a damn phone and use the damn phone. Samsung has a lot of ways to go in this regard.

Also all the things he slated about gingerbread that apparently sense can do can be fixed with apps if they're that important to him.

He is right about the keyboard and wrong about the battery, but only because he hasn't installed anything on it to customize the phone. The funny part was spending time complaining about how you have to pull down the notifications (he's bound to love that in ios5) to turn off wifi when to me this is an advantage - I can do it right now without leaving this text entry - how is that worse than having to go to a homescreen widget?

The only criticism I would make is that, as with the Google-driven Nexus S, the border around the edge where the screen fits in can rub your ear just that little bit annoyingly when you're making a phone call. The HTC Incredible S is better in that regard.

And really it's true my GF loved my Desire, thinks it's much better than the iphone, but really can't figure out the SGS2 (she's an iphone user)
To be honest im not convinced the review is biased because he is generally comparing it to the Incredible S. It's just a bad review in my book. I can understand if he said great phone a few annoying niggles out of the box, and gave it 4 stars. But to not even mention that ALL the issues he reports can be fixed by apps is shocking.
If the S2 is a 3 star phone what would the likes of the ZTE blade or the Galaxy Apollo be. Phones that i know plenty are people really like but share the same issues with far inferior hardware? 1 star?
Actually, for the most part I do agree with the author (exception being the notification area for wifi on/off etc, which I think is great).
He's spot on with the keyboard, though. It's crap, Swype isn't much better, and you'll need to pay for anything. Currently using Swiftkey X, which is a good replacement, but doesn't work in the email app. WHY, SAMSUNG, WHY, WHEN IT WORKS IN EVERYTHING ELSE?

Hey folks
I've noticed myself being pulled in more and more by getting an iPhone. Having previously owned a Touch Diamond (WinMo), Xperia X10 and mini then a GS1 and finally this phone, I've owned throughout all this change an iPod touch and also an iPad for the best part.
What I've found is the Apple products seem more... complete. The user experience is significantly more seemless.
Please don't turn this into an "I hate apple so keep the Gs2" thread cause truthfully I hate Apple as a company but what they produce is actually very good.
So, having rooted the phone and flashing custom ROMs, can someone advise tthings I could do to this thing to make it a bit more user friendly? I've had MIUI on it and when it works 100% ill have it on but until then, to prevent me sswapping this for an i4 can you guys advise on mods etc that might make the gs2 experience a bit better?

If iPhone5 is 4'3" screen, 1.5 dual core processor, accelerated browser, as easy to jailbreak as this is to root, I'd consider it.
I kind of have to agree with the above poster. Why should we convince you? You are supposed to know what you like and want, not the other way around.

Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
A lot of people want to ask how to make SGS2 Ui more user friendly? I consider it to be one of the most user friendly user interfaces there are. The only one even more user friendly is HTC Sense UI.
It uses the same type of movement as the Iphone does, holding a button a few seconds etc. I love it.
I find the Iphone to be annoying and to closed for it to be comfortable, unless you jailbreak it. Which has been getting harder and harder to do lately. The Iphone 5 is coming soon and there is a large change it will take several weeks before even a small jailbreak is available for that one.
As far as I am aware, the Iphone also lacks Customization, like flashing new firmware or roms etc.
But in the end its just a matter of personal preference and nothing we say can change that. You are the one that needs to feel happy with a phone, if you are not happy with SGS2, then switch to what phone you think will make you happy.
Above post was what I was looking for. Thanks bud

I dont know why you would need convincing from anyone else to keep something that does not meet your expectations or your needs, if you can return the S2 then do so now and get the Iphone and be happy there, its not about what phone you have its about how you area able to use it at its full potential w/o relying on anything else.
I would be happy to give your S2 the loving home it deserves...

Here is my way to convince you, if you can find a way to Jailbreak iPhone5 with out Comex help or any other 3rd Party help. Just do it yourself than Leeching off Comex. Yea I will say go for it.
If NOT, drop your SGS2 in to the Atlantic Ocean depth to the Abyss, that you can never get it again. Now you got a choice to get iPhone5. Selling it off eBay or Craigslist DO NOT COUNT!!
Or just Love your current SGS2 to the best you can, and ditch the Steve Job Ghetto iPhone5 good bye. Since Ghetto Steve Job left the floor...maybe due to health or something personal who know, Human Made NEWs are all Entertainment to people ears and eyes!!
Indeed, With Comex gone jailbreaking the Iphone 5 (you know they hired him to prevent the jailbreaks on upcoming versions) is going to be a lot harder. In such a case samsungs open approach is much and much better. Thats why i love Android
I had a 3g and a Iphone 4. Never been happier than I am right now with sgs2. I like to tinker with phone and change roms every day. Can't do that with Iphone. Love the screen on this phone, love the speed, very easy to work with. Sgs2 is the best phone on the planet right now in my opinion.

I think you should write down all you can think about the pros and cons of both phones, and weigh what is most important to you. That will put your mind to peace once and for all. For me, the much lighter weight, far less radiation and greater flexibility (e.g. drag & drop rather than itunes) far outweigh any other smartphones.
I don't get the smooth and seamless aspect that I keep hearing about though. I've tried the ipad and have an ipod nano...the devices have limited features and are underwhelming. Perhaps you've read about many "issues" with the SGSII and the need for tweaks to make it perform more smoothly. I do suspect users of android phones--who have done the necessary research--are probably perfectionists in the first place, who scrutinise everything that they own and enjoy the ability to customise the phone to their needs.
Again, above poster. Thank you
Gonna keep hold of it for now, spend ssome time at work tonight figuring out some tweeks etc and go from there.

Haha very true! Recently one of my colleague bought TWO iPhone 4Ss (one for him and another for his wife!). He was boosting like he has got a gold mine before I told him about GS2. He started telling that some Chinese phones even have TV tuners
I couldn't stop laughing at his ignorance that he was comparing SGS phones to Chinese replicas! Realized that he is just a small kid who never BOTHERED exploring the market to understand what he is going for. Thats what I call true iPhonetic!

For all you Android fanboys - stop trying to prove a point. Android is good for people who want control over their device and aren't afraid to tinker with stuff. iOS is good for people who don't care, and just want their phone to work straight out of the box.
Android is getting more intuitive with ICS, but its still not as intuitive for new users as iOS. Deal with it. I absolutely love my SGS2 and Android, but I'm not about to fool myself (or anyone else) that Android is right for everyone.
What he said ^^^
I still have a 3gs which my sis gave me. I still play with games and use it as an ipod, also it can be used as an emergency fone ( you dont say!). Iphones are more fitted to people who just want a phone that works, games, entertainment. Android phones are for people who isn't afraid to muck around with their ****s. iOS and Android are both equally good and fitted for different purpose.

+1. Best comment on here. Stock galaxy s2 has nothing on a stock(not jail broken) ip4s. But im into tinkering thats why the iphone isnt for me.
looks like an iphone but powered by android baby!!!!
Iphone is the best smartphone in the world. Even the first iphone is much faster and smoother than the cheap plasticky SGSII. Glass is much more stronger even than titanium, and much costlier, that's why other manufacturers don't afford to use it.
Previous iphone had the 4G's, the Wi-Fis and sh!t and was cool, any fool can realize that the new iphone has 4Ses and not just 2 as the Galaxy, hence is twice as faster!
Android not good, it's only for rocket scientists.
Just to call someone you need to read "Android for Dummies, 3rd Edition" - chapter 10 "How can I make a phone call" and then read FAQ section: "How do I end a phone call".
Installing an app is covered in Chapter 45, Section 18 - screen by screen instructions with drawings.
iPhones are more of a status symbol than anything else. Apple give you a phone with pretty basic features and you will love it because it has a little badge on it. Samsung give you a phone with the capabilities of a mid-range PC. I'm not for or against both, I own a PC and a Mac, an S2 and an iPad. It's personal preference at the end of the day.
If anyone knows of a Winterboard equivalent for Android please let me know!

who the hell uses siri anyways i have about 6 friends that have iphones but don't use siri that much or at all.
As much as your Market is improving, I still think that is has a long way to go before it can reach the likes of the app store in term of quality! In term of quantity it's there but the apps on IOS are so much F***ING BETTER!!!
It puzzles me why when ever somebody starts a discussion like this a bunch of apple fanboys show up? Are you patrolling the internet looking for somebody who might insult your beloved icon?
Besides, what are you doing at xda in the first place. This is a forum for modders apple does not want you to do such things...
To iOS, I would like to see if any devs are working on a Sense 4 ROM for the EVO. So does anyone know of Sense 4 ROMs in the works??
just leave

You're anxious for sense 4, but want to jump to iOS?? Okay...
Enjoy your tiny screen, lack of SD card, lack of widgets or customization at all, iTunes, unintuitive operation, crappy battery life, stupid notifications Android rip off, Angry Birds bills, entitled community of fellow users, and lack of LTE.

if they can't figure out why this hasn't happened yet and when to expect it (shortly after a sprint sense 4 phone hits) he doesn't know how to utilize most of what you mentioned
some people deserve what they get
ios5 is solid. everything you learned you here though, you can throw out of window since you are migrating to the world of lockdown
stay healthy

Although ios is pretty solid, once you break your iPhone, you'll be back unless your willing to pay 300$ for a new one with insurance.

He'll also enjoy a amazing camera, real world performance that can not be matched by any Android phone, a phone that doesn't require constant flashing for an enjoyable experience, great battery life, and a app ecosystem that is still the main priority of top developers. Oh, and real support that makes even Nexus owners jealous.

1. Dude Android has several phones with a camera better than the iPhone and have you not seen the One X's camera?
2. Rooting is not a necessity, it just makes the experience better. You could make the same exact argument for jailbreaking
3. You get a little more battery at the expense of power and multitasking
4. Implying Android does not have developers that are just as dedicated? I assure you the Play Store will eventually surpass the Apple App Store considering Android already accounts for more than half of the smartphone market share.
So yeah, have fun with your device OP

If you can't understand something as simple as when to use a or an, I'm sure you can't understand the differences between Android and iOS. Read a book.
I personally would either get the Nexus or wait a bit for the EVO LTE before getting the iPhone.
Well i hope you're not using your upgrade to jump ship to the iphone 4s. If so just wait for the evo4g lte. Sense 4.0 And if not sell your evo and use the money you would have spent on the iphone 4s and once again...use it to purchase the E4GLTE. :thumbup:

Or...jump ship and try IOS...who knows maybe you will love it. Took a quick gander at the iphone 4s before purchasing my SGS2 I like the way the phone looks and the OS is super smooth,but the screen size is what changed my mind real quick.Coming from the Evo4G i just couldn't handle going back to a screen that small. I'm an android person myself but wouldn't mind trying a new OS for a year or so just for something different.

Wow lmfao I never dissed Android and you guys got so hurt. Remember its just a phone lol. I just wanted to see what sense 4 had in store. Welcome to trollville lmao

No one is hurt. It was a thread that made no sense. Not to mention that iOS is the "enemy" of Android, so there is going to be some hard feelings when someone talks about jumping ship. If you go on a Pepsi forum and talk about Coke, you shouldn't expect anything less than some heat. It doesn't qualify as "trolling."
If you want Sense 4.0 real bad, you buy a Sense 4.0 phone, seeing as one is coming out right now. Why "jump ship" if there is no Sense 4.0 for our EVO 4G when you can get the legitimate version?
Secondarily, people SHOULD balk at the fact that someone is going from Android to iOS, because most people seem uninformed about iOS and think it is great when it indeed is not. Although the thread came off as bashing, it is actually nice that people went out of their way to try and stop the purchase of an overpriced, overhyped phone. If you compare the two tit for tat, no one would buy an iPhone over the 4G LTE. It is a poor shopping choice. So take it as a compliment that people are trying to help you out I guess.

How is it bashing? I don't particularly like sense. I just wanted to see what Sense 4 is about but, not enough to commit to buying a new phone. I'm not saying the LTEVO won't be great, because my EVO was great to me. Now to all the others that talk about battery being bad on the iphone, I know that's a lie...I've had experience with ios and I know the battery last MUCH longer than any android device I've owned.
I'm done with customizing and flashing ROMs almost 2 or 3 times a week...but thanks for feedback

What is the most valuable advantage of android that makes it better than Apple's crap?
Guys, Wasn't it "Removable Battery" and "External Memory" ?
I really dont want to have freaking Energizer with Line connected to N4,
or get OTG connecter which should also plug into USB input to use more space for video,music and many other things.
I'm not that guys who use Google Cloud each time I watch movies, play games with extreme graphic, or read article from googling shi*
by expensive cellular data or non-removable battery(And I(probably most of you) have no patience enough to sit back, waiting for downloading these through fixed WiFi)
If you wanna buy a good, clear screen and high performance and something something.. than you should think about HTC Droid DNA or Sony Yuga which is going to be released soon.
N4 doesn't fit to the "Highest" Performance or Quality,
The advantage being reference phone is already gone
And you guys already know, "The changes from ICS to Jellybean 4.2" is not much improvement
And there's Tizen2.0, and Windows 8 which comes with DirectX and many their own API ;which are great
Tizen2.0 will be released in next year, and it's fully capable to use android apk SAME(performance and something something~)
The demerits using Dalvik is enough to object to many high-end device based on android
The bottom line is very simple.
No sdcard slot, and non-removable battery? Not a iPhone?
No Thanks.
Besides, it's the LG, geez..
PS. Sorry for my bad english.
Then don't buy it...

This was posted in Q&A... so what's the question? All the questions in the OP are either rhetorical or are answered by you, so I don't understand the purpose of this post. Its fine that you have the opinion that the phone is not very good (I would disagree but that my opinion), but there is no need for this rant post really in Q&A. Just clogs things up.

Hop off the forums!
What's up with all this N4 hate recently? I understand people feel the need to go against whatever succeeds, but I got my phone last week and let me be clear for anyone who is having doubts. THIS PHONE IS AMAZING! Beautiful, high quality, packed with features, vanilla android, and ridiculously fast! I could easily waste an hour or so on here typing all about this phone, but I will leave you with that. Have fun XDA! and stop with all the arbitrary negativity. :highfive:
Well EXIT stage left then
I think you should go buy an iPhone. You have no idea what Android is, or why we love it!

1. You have NO idea why we love android.
2. The DNA doesn't have a removable battery or an SD card slot either genius and read any review, the DNA screen is 1080p but its unanimously seen as a worse screen than the screen found on the One X. Good job.
3. THIS phone is awesome BECAUSE "we" don't have to worry about any overlay like Sense or TouchWiz.
4. Insanely cheap OFF contract.
5. Premium feel and hardware (albeit a little z little slippery)
6. Updates DIRECT from Google.
These are why "we" got an N4...now go post in the Note 2 thread and complain how you think its worse than a Palm Pilot.
