    Thinking of switching from iPhone to Android...

    So, I've been a die-hard iPhone user since day one.
    I have been avoiding the android phones for years, but since I heard about the Galaxy S4, I decided I would give it a try and see what the hype was all about....so I bought an S4

    Anyways, I've only been using it for 3 days so far and I'm still not really sold...
    I am super impressed with all the great features. The Galaxy S4 does so much cool stuff...I could play with it forever and barely scratch the surface.
    The problem I have is with some of the basic stuff.
    For example, the native email app seems pretty clunky and terrible. I've added my company exchange email along with my gmail and yahoo personal email...but it is so slow and the interface is a bit annoying.
    I also don't like that it doesn't have badge notifications. It also seems that some if the native apps and features are a bit redundant...but maybe that's just because I'm not used to it yet.
    I did learn that there were some decent third party apps in the Google Play store that could fix some of my little issues, but I would have assumed that Android would have done a better job developing their native apps.

    Does anyone out there agree or disagree with me? Could I be doing something wrong or is Android just a clunky operating system with a ton of great bells and whistles??

      I'm in the opposite boat - been an Android user for years, but am getting a new phone this week, probably an iPhone.

      In my experience your first impressions are correct - Android on paper has tons of great features & apps and many of the phones have impressive specs, but for a lot of the basic stuff it's clunky. Just many many little glitches, nothing that's a deal-breaker but IMO it's just not the smoothest user experience. I'm sure there are fixes for many of them, but I usually don't have the time or inclination to investigate all that stuff.

      By contrast, my girlfriend's iPhone does exactly what it's supposed to do smoothly and without the little hiccups that have plagued my Android phones. And I'm not an Apple fanboy by any stretch.

          Android is okay, like you I switched from iPhone to Android, it is very clunky though and honestly, in a few months once my contract is up I'm ready to go back to the iPhone... Its just 'easier' to use all round.

              Yea...so far it sounds like we are all on the same page
              The S4 is clearly a better peice of hardware, but for overall functionality the iPhone still takes the lead.
              I'll give the Galaxy S4 a try for a few more days, just so I can honestly give it a fair shot...but so far the iPhone is still more favorable.

                  Try K-9 mail for Android. It's free and pretty full featured. Also download Calendar Pad for Android, a vastly improved front end for the default Android calendar. The color coordinated text month view is the killer feature.

                      I tried K-9 and it only allowed me to add POP or IMAP emails...but I also need to add my Exchange email, which doesn't seem possible through K-9.
                      Am I missing something?

                                  I don't use Exchange, but according to what I read online when Googling "K-9 mail exchange", K-9 can be made to work at least with some versions of Exchange.

                                              I think that people should really try and take the time to experiment with both Apple and Android phones...just to really get an idea of what some of us mean by "clunkiness".

                                              I played around the some other android phones and the Galaxy S4 was hands down the best one...but when you compare it to the simplicity and 'ease-of-use' of the iPhone, there is no doubt the iPhone iOS operating system is better even though it can't do all the fancy stuff that the newer androids can do.

                                                  I was an Android fan boy for a couple of years or so, maybe longer..

                                                  I switched to an iPhone 4s last March.. now I have an iPhone 5.

                                                  To put it simply, the iPhone just works. I was always fixing this or that on my Android phones.

                                                          The iPhone is just way easier to use especially for a Mac, AppleTV, iTunes user. Android has many more options and tricks but checking email, texting, taking a picture and updating Facebook is much easier on the iPhone IMO.

                                                              i've spent plenty of time experimenting with an apple iphone.

                                                              my android is 1 tap of the screen to email.

                                                              or to facebook.

                                                              or twitter,

                                                              or browse.


                                                              either way, i couldn't give 2 shits what phone people use, but my experience with android currently is zero clunky.

At the time the Galaxy S3 was out and it was a plastic piece of crap. Great phone internals, just a shitty outer shell. Figured I'd hold off and switch back when the Galaxy S4 came out and it turns out to be the same exact piece of shit plastic shell.

At the time the Galaxy S3 was out and it was a plastic piece of crap. Great phone internals, just a shitty outer shell. Figured I'd hold off and switch back when the Galaxy S4 came out and it turns out to be the same exact piece of shit plastic shell.

                                                                          you bring up another good point that these devices truly are different strokes for different folks, i don't want a metal body phone. i prefer plastic. it's lighter. i almost got the htc one but opted out due to the metal construction.

I'm tired of Apple and their bs, they haven't innovated anything in years for the phones and all my friends on Android can't stop raving about it. Time for me to make the switch and get away from Apple for good. I took a loot at the HTC 1 and the S4 yesterday, I think the S4 is what I'll get.

At the time the Galaxy S3 was out and it was a plastic piece of crap. Great phone internals, just a shitty outer shell. Figured I'd hold off and switch back when the Galaxy S4 came out and it turns out to be the same exact piece of shit plastic shell.

                                                                                                          And Dyna Mo, it takes 1 click to do all those things on an iPhone too

                                                                                                              On the other hand, Apple hasn't come up with anything cool in a long time. They are done.
                                                                                                              + there are many custom roms made for the best/popular devices. i had 5-6 different roms i could select from on my previous device and there will be at least that many for my new one.

                                                                                                              cm10, aosp, aokp, debloated stock roms, tweaked kernels. the list is endless. the customization opportunities to dial-in an android phone to be exactly like you want it are tremendous.

                                                                                                              that's not taking away from the benefits of the iphone, there are many, but it is different and that is appealing and beneficial to many.

I'd take a "cheap plastic" (last I checked polycarbonate actually cost more than aluminum) phone over an iPhone.

                                                                                                                                      I have a Nexus7 that, not a phone I know but it still gets me playing with the Android OS.

                                                                                                                                      I dunno. I think that those who switch to Galaxy S4 now will regret it when the iPhone6 is released. Maybe.

                                                                                                                                          You should have sent a report to the media, I'm pretty sure iPhones cracking their own screens would have been something they would run as a story.

                                                                                                                                          There must be 1000's of instances of iPhones breaking their own screens while the users are sleeping.

                                                                                                                                              I don't think I ever had to do that with my iPhone.

                                                                                                                                              Another problem I am having with the Droid presently is when it goes to update the apps it constantly tells me I don't have enough memory space, despite having a 8GB card inserted.

                                                                                                                                              Also, on the email app, once you delete an email, it gets moved to trash... Where it stays until you go in an MANUALLY remove every single email permanently, there is no 'bulk' delete for email that is already in the trash folder, do you have any idea how long it takes to manually remove 500 emails from trash a month by hand? lol

A phone is a phone. I have used both in the past, and currently have the Droid Razr Maxx due to the fact I can get a full day of heavy use out of it (GPS, Wi-Fi, streaming, etc) without having to run to a charger every 3 hours.

                                                                                                                                                                          with android you have 100s of choices.

                                                                                                                                                                          the iphone is certainy well-thought out but you have to go with their screen size, form factor, body construction, display technology, ui, movie player, music source, etc.

                                                                                                                                                                          on the android you get to choose those. different strokes. neither is necc. better than the other.

                                                                                                                                                                                  I have been avoiding the android phones for years, but since I heard about the Galaxy S4, I decided I would give it a try and see what the hype was all about....so I bought an S4

                                                                                                                                                                                  Anyways, I've only been using it for 3 days so far and I'm still not really sold...
                                                                                                                                                                                  I am super impressed with all the great features. The Galaxy S4 does so much cool stuff...I could play with it forever and barely scratch the surface.
                                                                                                                                                                                  The problem I have is with some of the basic stuff.
                                                                                                                                                                                  For example, the native email app seems pretty clunky and terrible. I've added my company exchange email along with my gmail and yahoo personal email...but it is so slow and the interface is a bit annoying.
                                                                                                                                                                                  I also don't like that it doesn't have badge notifications. It also seems that some if the native apps and features are a bit redundant...but maybe that's just because I'm not used to it yet.
                                                                                                                                                                                  I did learn that there were some decent third party apps in the Google Play store that could fix some of my little issues, but I would have assumed that Android would have done a better job developing their native apps.

Could I be doing something wrong or is Android just a clunky operating system with a ton of great bells and whistles??
