what type of cell phone do you have? - Page 8

n4mwd · August 5th, 2013, 10:05 AM

Still have a a samsung exhibit 2. I did however discover a bug in the phone because it seems that when you go riding and get caught in the rain, and the phone gets soaked, it seems to quit working.

I had to take it apart, scrub the motherboard down with high test isopropyl, blow dry it with a hair dryer, and put it back together. Seems fine now. Hopefully it will stay that way.

Phones shouldn't fail just because they get wet.

It's a badass phone camera thing. You can even buy a case that turns it into a point and shoot camera and has an extra battery

I found a Radio Shack video where the guy is explaining the phone poolside and then falls into the pool. The funny thing is that the phone wasn't working after he fell in the water. He says stuff like "and it has the standard array of android touch screen buttons along the bottom" - pointing to the bottom of the phone - and there is nothing there, the screen is black. Too funny.

But for what its worth, its probably more rain resistant than most phones.

Jiggles · August 5th, 2013, 04:40 PM

Yea I tell people it's not water proof just water resistant. If you get an iPhone you can get a waterproof case. Lifeproof

My wife and I have been using windows phones for 2 years and love them. Windows phone 8 is much better than 7 and most important apps are available on all the platforms. Nokia also seems to have the best quality of windows phones. The new 1020 is amazing and if we were on AT&T I would most likely be getting one.

oh yeah, we arent on att either lol.

iPhone. I really like it. Over a year old and works just as well as the day I got it. Not sure if I'd get another one, though. The front and back glass are both cracked from dropping (the backside was even with a case on

). They're just a bit too fragile cosmetically for me.

Buy a case that cost more than $1, problem solved

In hindsight...lol. Covering a phone in glass just seems like a bit of a design flaw.

You want a plastic touch screen?

Snake · August 8th, 2013, 10:15 PM

Will the next iPhone have advanced features like the Android or will it be the same old same old?

Jiggles · August 8th, 2013, 10:35 PM

Apple is going to make the phone lighter and faster, but don't despair they will also add a unique feature called ultra panoramic view. ITS GNA BE SICK

Haha do you think covering the back in glass was a necessary move? It does look good for sure. But for someone who has a bad tendency to abuse her phones, it's not ideal. I don't mean to hate on Apple either. I just don't think the iPhone is the best phone for me.

Jiggles · August 9th, 2013, 09:18 AM

Hmm, you should have got an iPhone 5 then

Thanks Jiggles sounds great. What about the ability to "bump" to transfer files?

Snake · August 9th, 2013, 10:25 AM

Well that sucks! When is the new iPhone coming out?

Jiggles · August 9th, 2013, 10:38 AM

Honestly dude I have no idea about any of this lol. I feel like if apple doesn't do something big it will be a big disappointment. It doesn't matter if they do or not, the iPhone will always be successful, even if they don't change a damn thing. The iPhone 5 is blown away by the s4 htc one and he'll even the Nokia 1020. They all do way more awesome things, so why is the iPhone still the top seller?

I have an iPhone because its reliable, has a higher resale value than any other phone and if something is wrong with it I take it to the apple store and get a new one. A stock iPhone is lame so I jailbreak it and install other software to make it awesome. If Apple ever defeats jailbreaks permanently they will lose about 10-20% of their base.

I hope they do something cool with the new one, I hope because I know they don't have to. And he'll if they just make it faster that works for me, I'll make it awesome with Cydia

Snake · August 9th, 2013, 10:46 AM

I'm asking all these dumb questions because I know nothing about smart phones. I am leaning strongly toward the iPhone because I currently have an iPod touch with tons of music and apps.
Thanks or the info.

Snake · September 12th, 2013, 09:38 PM

Well the two new Iphones have finally been revealed. A slightly upgraded version and a no bells or whistles basic Iphone.
I welcome your thoughts on the two phones.

AznJoJo · September 13th, 2013, 06:31 PM

the iphone 5c is just the iphone 5 covered in plastic and the 5s is just half mark from the 5. derp derp...

I was thinking about getting the note 2 because of the battery, but it's just too big for me to handle.

Snake · September 13th, 2013, 06:43 PM

Well I'm finally going to join the smart crowd and go from a flip phone to an Iphone.

massacremasses · September 14th, 2013, 06:02 PM

Get the cheapest iphone. You wont know the difference.

Jono · September 14th, 2013, 06:49 PM

Had to change my vote. Got rid of my basic phone and got a Galaxy S3. Love it!

Is the note 3 out already? I thought it was only annouced. I really like how the HTC one phone looks and they're coming out with a big version.
