I need your help as I have some android-existential issues that I need solved before I step into the dark side of iPhone...
I've been stuck with the ERIS for 10 months. I've tried everything in my power to upgrade to no avail. This phone simply doesn't cut it for my everyday use. I am pretty sure it's the HARDWARE specifications of the phone rather than Android itself but...
There are plenty of issues that really annoy me that maybe if I know more about would allow me to get a newer android phone rather than just getting the iPhone
- At least once a day the phone gets real hot for a couple of hours. There's no question it's processing something in the background! I've run appkiller, rebooted, etc only to have it warm up again... WHAT IS THIS??!!
- The need for an appkiller; the system is NOT like windows where apps have to be shut down so memory is freed up... so why in the world is there such a need for appkillers??!!! No question that after a little while the phone gets sluggish and miraculously it improves significantly if you run app killer or reboot.... WHAT GIVES??!!
- No matter what, certain apps run automatically such as amazon's MP3 store, etc... that lack of user control drives me crazy, especially when the phone is sluggish and I KNOW there are apps running in the background I have no clue about.
- Screen sensitivity... no matter if just starting from a reboot; the typing, browsing, etc. is plain brute. This I think might be a hardware issue that I hope is resolved in bigger phones, but for the love of God, such a basic function not working smooth as silk sends me out for a looong loop.
Thank you for bearing with my existential problems. I sure hope there good answers for this as I believe in the good nature of android, but I'm very close to switching sides if I don't hear good comments on the above.
Thanks again!
