Re: Android security update disables GPS spoofing in Pokémon GO

Awayze — Mon, 13 Mar 2017 12:01:45 -0000

Majority of spoofers will never see Android 7, maybe when the games dying out an update will be pushed out by the manufacturer. The GPS is altered at a system level on Android and Niantic won't know that. on iOS, the app is actually hacked and iOS is locked down. Developers will make an hacked app for Android like for iOS if it gets to the point GPS altering is hard.

Re: What phone is “good enough” in 2017?

16gb is too low, I struggle with it on my Z3. 32gb must be the minimum.

Re: [Brutal] Android market share is still rising, decimates Windows Mobile and BlackBerry OS

Awayze — Fri, 17 Feb 2017 03:44:14 -0000

Market share doesn't mean much when the most used phone you see is an iPhone 6 or 7. Android is on everything cheap to expensive and it runs like garbage on 90% of the devices.

Re: Really Blue Pixel and Pixel XL now sold by EE in the UK

Awayze — Fri, 17 Feb 2017 03:29:40 -0000

I paid £15 for unlimited data on 3, been forced to change to £19 plan unlimited tethering with 30gb tethering data also included. EE are over priced but their retention deals are good if you moan and complain, 3 are strict and don't budge.

Re: Weekend poll: When is the last time you bought an Android tablet?

Nexus 7 2013, great price and perfect size. Its showing its old ages and lack of tablet oriented apps convinced me to go with iPad Air 2 over the Pixel C last year.

I've never used a ZTE phone or even seen one one sale so chance to use it would be sweet.

Re: Pokémon GO updated to v0.33 with Poké Ball XP fix, new driving warning, and more (but still no tracking) [APK Download] [Update]

Yeah but it doesn't fix the wasting of great balls on low cp Pokemon, who escape multiple times and then flee. Unless you live on a poke stop, it's not feasible catching garbage Pokemon anymore. Screw Rattatas, weedles, Zubats and Pidgeys.

My Z3 Copper is better for everyday use. Z6 will blow all Android's out of the water

In the UK, they dropped pretty quickly, from £600 to £350 within 6 months or so.

Re: Reason to buy Android: update bricks some iPhones that were repaired without authorization

Launcher redraws occur frequently on Nexus devices. I've had maybe 2 on my Xperia Z3 in the year I've had it. It's an issue that should have been solved by Google but it hasn't.

It's not that it wouldnt be present but it wouldnt be in the form it is today. It would be like BB OS who were the dominant "smart" company. You only have to compare iPhone and HTC Dream to see iPhone was by far better and Android felt like a suddenly redesigned OS to mimic iOS and BB and released asap to get recognition. Had they not released what they had, they could have easily struggled to gain market share like Windows phone is struggling to.

Google Now launcher is more than good enough, launcher's are hardly a deal breaker. That's really the only major visual customisation you can do. If I want to change colours such as the notification white or toggle colours etc, I can't do that or add system wide tweaks such as change the multitasking window on stock Android either. Jailbreak doesn't void your warranty, its a software change, restore in iTunes if it goes faulty, Apple won't know. It's easier to get back to original state rather than find the correct ROM for your region then install the original Android ROM and relock bootloader.

No difference to Android user's putting ROMs on because they don't like stock Android. Still leaving the "walled garden" or you could do what you like without putting a ROM on or rooting, but you can't.

I have a Z3 and Nexus 7 2013. I've jailbroken all my iPhone's since 2007, it was necessary if you bought the iPhone and wanted to use it without a ridiculously expensive contract back in the day.

My Nexus 7 has touch issues when on certain places, its a well known issue, you only need to see forums on XDA etc, people opening it up to solve the issue. Android clearly has launcher redraws still, even in Google's own Nexus 6 videos when demonstrating features, the icons occasionally reload when going to home. I remember as one Google N6 video was posted on this site showing new MM features. I have never ever had a launcher redraw on any iOS product. It's not so much a touch issue but there's a delay, milliseconds range, from touch to action. I notice the tiny issues. From touch to action, Apple is quicker, even it its milliseconds.

It may have been thought of before iOS but by name only. Look at the HTC Dream or Nexus One and original iPhone. Android cupcake was disgusting compared to iPhone. Android was originally supposed to compete with BB. I haven't bought an Apple product since 2012.

No, my N7 is stock latest as is my iPad 2. Just from the touch detection to the app opening and pushing home, the iPad responds faster. Nor does it get random touch delays/input lag like my Nexus 7. There's a reason why Nexus 9 and Android tablets are flops. Even the Play store stutters when scrolling through, the App Store doesn't.

If it's the the home button, then it's a security reason, along with money making but that's every business. If it's under warranty, then who cares.

IPhone 5S had it in 2013. Atrix in 2011, Android was poor so I didn't care for non popular phones. I don't keep up with every Android phone released per week and in 2011, Android was a ugly mess and utter garbage, no Android phone could convince me to leave my jail broken iPhone 4.

Not so smart are you?

Re: Reason to buy Android: update bricks some iPhones that were repaired without authorization

Awayze — Fri, 05 Feb 2016 22:34:44 -0000

Lollipop on my Z3 and Marshmallow on my Nexus 7, multiple launcher redraws on N7, once in a blue moon on Z3. I'm not a iSheep, I buy what I want, not what other people tell me to.

Atrix must have been a flop as I've never ever seen one in the UK. Either way, it took for Apple to correctly implement the technology before every other company copied Apple instantly. I don't see anyone copying Atrix when it was released.

Genuine Apple parts aren't hard to get hold of, it sucks if it breaks out of warranty but within warranty they'll repair it within a couple of hours at any Apple store. All my friends who have iPhone 6S, nothing has ever gone wrong. Only my iPhone 5 battery had become faulty in 2013.

Without iPhone, you'd be using some clunky Symbian phone or an Android similar to Blackberry. iOS is still more stable than Android, my iPad 2 is faster than my Nexus 7 2013, iPad has no launcher redraws, no stutter in apps etc which Google hasn't sorted out. No point in adding features when they're half baked. Also finger print reader was on iPhone first. You know nothing about Google or Apple, you probably have HP laptop or Pixelbook which is a clone of a MacBook. Let's face it, you hate Apple because you can't afford their products. You probably choose a Ford over a BMW because it's got more features and then try and convince everyone Ford is better than BMW because you can't afford a new Beamer. You seem like that guy who has no knowledge.
