iPhone 5 - Who's in?

Not open for further replies.
I have to say, my i5 does not have any of those problems. As with any product QC is not 100% perfect. A lot of issues are also UE (user error). However, I will say, I did think the battery on my i5 at 1st was draining a little faster than it probably should (but was not creating an issue). Verizon released that update for the data/wifi issue and since then my battery has been amazing! I would come home and it was around 50%, after the update it is around 80%!

A lot of people are complaining about phones that are not 5's though on your threads above. My wife has the 4s and does not have issues that other 4s users have above either.

Well, unfortunately, it is hard to please everyone. GS3 problems are plentiful...are they legit? Who cares?! Just so i can respond to Koz: samsung galaxy s3 problems - YouTube
 
Koz said that he's only posting in this thread to get reactions out of Thai.

All the while Thai is chomping at the bit to reply to his "trolling" like some kind of methed out jack russell terrier stalker.

Wait, I forgot I'm not allowed to post to this "straight up re****ed thread."

Everyone look at me! Hit the Like button, YAY! Down with facts!
 
Seriously, dude? What is this, Elementary school?

Take a look back through your posts and tell me that you guys didn't have a major part to play in the destruction of this thread.

I'm sorry if you are offended by the things Thai has said, but he's not Fox news blurting out biased bull****. He based his points on facts with sources.

Yes, seriously. No, it's not Elementary school, but damn close...it's the internet! Yay! A fun place where everyone can get along, sense of humor or otherwise, get butthurt or clowned into oblivion, or just totally not get it.

The thread isn't in any imminent danger of being "ruined" or "destroyed", dude, good lord. Surely though certain posters are in imminent danger of having any shred of having a sense of humor or the ability to even act lighthearted wiped clean from their DNA.

The stone cold butt hurt seriousness vibe certain posters are trying to stay the course on this thread makes me weep for the internet and mankind.

In short, everyone LIGHTEN THE F#^& UP! eta: or light it up, that would also have a positive impact here.
 
Ndecent, with all due respect, please stop posting here. Don't pretend what you are not. I hate it when people are fake with their intentions. There was nothing "civil" nor "on topic" nor joking with what you wrote initially about this thread. And now, your "intentions" are just downright pathetic.

Keep on topic! This is about iPhone 5! No fake humor needed.

His formatted text reply screams inflated ego. Whatever dude, got on your high horse young, until it grew so high that you couldn't even get back off. Unless you magically sprout the mental ability to see beyond yourself, there's no hope. Explaining anything to you is a waste of time.

ndcent, I'm done with you. You're a little crybaby troll. I have seen you around the forum a lot, always thought you were ironically decent for your username. Shame, I even gave you the benefit of the doubt after you made a pathetic ass of yourself in the Chik-Fil-A thread. I realize now that I have made a mistake. Your username says it all.
 
Took some pictures with the lifeproof case on.

Sorry the homophobia, bigotry and latent racism among certain posters is more your thing, bro. It's obvious you have some daddy issues for Thai too, but again for the last time lighten the fuk up. It's. The. Fuking. Internet.

Please stop posting your stupidity. Stay on topic. If forget, then please refer to my prior post. Thx. This is about iPhone 5, not irrelevant comments. Start your stupid rant and/or dumb comments in another thread.

Although I like the new Otter Box Defender (nice improvements), the holster continues to be weak. I'm considering gong back to the Seidio Convert. Nice case and lockable holster (I've used it before).
 
The Entune in my v has been amazing since iOS 6 and my 5. Messages pop up on the screen and my female assistant will read them to me. Very slick.

I promised not to post or respond to any of your posts until you get some help, but! You still are in denial and still resorting to making personal attacks and childish name calling. Let’s settle this! Since you have no problem calling people liars, if I prove you are the liar, will you admit you have a problem and stop the personal attacks and name calling (which really are breaking site rules)? Let’s see how much integrity YOU have!

Koz, please answer posts below about iPhone 5. Stick to topic. Geez. Prove to everyone here that you know what you're talking about. Prove it!

As for proving me, go ahead. But, shouldn't that be another thread?

Koz, don't forget about this...see how he just runs away when facts are presented? Koz, be a grown man, and let's talk about all this. You brought up the points and i answered them, backing up with facts. You went limp after this post...why?? Getting old and forgetful, aren't you?

Lets review!

A phone with a POS operating system that most won’t even update to, for FREE!

I know that this may surprise you...BUT YOU ARE WRONG.

see: Despite map flap, most iPhone users have downloaded iOS 6 - latimes.com

Really, you want to talk about fragmentation?!! THAT is not a strong point of Android. So, i suggest that you keep your mouth shut on this one! I have the latest OS...DO YOU??

"Overall, this data points to Apple doing an outstanding job of keeping their user base up-to-date with the latest OS," said Chitika Insights, who did the research. "By comparison, Google's latest data shows only 22 per cent of its users being on its two most recent versions of Android. [Note: this means that ONLY 22% of Android users are either on the old ICS or new JB...THAT is horrid!!]

"Apple's performance in this area is a great selling point for mobile advertisers, as well as website and application developers, who can all confidently optimize their mobile properties to take advantage of the latest iOS capabilities without fear of shutting out a large portion of the user base," the report concludes."


A phone with a POS Maps program

Agreed. But, then again, Apple has plenty of cash to fix this problem quickly.

A phone with a POS camera that has problems when a light is in the picture.

YET, this iPhone has beated GS3 in almost all camera comparos. Strange, isn't it?! As for the "flare", you have to be an idiot to keep on shooting pictures facing the sun!! Again, this flare problem applies to all cameras. See PROFESSIONAL OPINION ABOVE.

see: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/1183586-post491.html

A phone that has poor build quality - scratches easily and light leaks out of the display.

It is called ANODIZED ALUMINUM. You are truly blinded if you think that GS3 has better build quality! Drop test sure shows the fragility of the GS3!!!

Want to see what GS3 was like when it came out? See:
Samsung Galaxy S3 Quality Issues Roundup: Build Quality, Camera and Memory Bugs [VIDEOS] - IBTimes UK

Ouch!

A phone that most apps have to be redesigned for the new puny screen (wonder what that will cost).

Actually, it is fairly easy...as many apps now are both 4S and 5 compliant!

see: Developers On iPhone 5: Redesigning Apps Not Hard, But Also Not Trivial | TechCrunch

Let me ask you Koz...are all Android apps made ONLY for your 4.8" screen?? No. This is a major problem for Android because there are a zillion screen sizes that developers have to accomodate! Like the software "issue" you brought up above, you need to look in the mirror first! D'oh! Dumb horrible argument on your part! It shows your total lack of understanding!


A phone with a POS proprietary connector that will not even allow most old accessories to work (designed only for Apple). And the ones that will work need a proprietary adapter you have to buy (if you can find one).

Again, you're an idiot. Enough said. You refuse to understand the logic behind it. If you refuse to understand the logic and technology behind it, then all is lost in your mind because you're too blind.

That's OK, you can have your USB...hopefully the computer will eventually find the driver for it! I can insert my Apple cord into any computer and be able to pull up pictures from it INSTANTLY. :D

A phone that you have jailbreak (and void the warranty) to customize and have to redo with every update.

Rooting does not void warranty? Yes, it does. Unlocking the boatloader will for sure. Beware - if you do root (but not unlock) that you need to make sure you do not uninstall any stock apps or you will not be able to update to newer firmware OTA (you can disable them with ICS and not have to worry). Any OTA updates will most likely break root, but you can backup and restore root wit the OTA Rootkeeper.

A battery that if fails bricks the phone!

And how often does that occur with Li-ion?? Grabbing at straws, aren't you?! Strange how Moto RAZR, Windows phone, and other phones with strong battery life do NOT have removable battery. Weird, no? Coincidence?

A phone that if you run out of memory you need to buy a new one for double the cost!

See Google's explanation for deletion of microSD. YOUR own people are getting rid of them. Get with the news dude.

see: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/1168583-post62.html

syncing only – no drag & drop

Cloud service.

No - barometer

And yet, it is SAMSUNG that has GPS issues!! Shocking!

No - wireless charging

Do you have the pad for it?? Take a picture of it with KOZ name on a piece of paper. Or is this like your Jellybean dream? And is it really that hard to plug in your phone? Damn, so much work.

No – Adobe flash (Snowflake’s favorite)

DEAD TECHNOLOGY. Show me your proof of FLASH and stock JB. Oh wait, you can't because YOU DON'T HAVE JB!!! Hahaha...loser!

No – browser choices

There are plenty of browsers on iOS...but unfortunately, Safari is the best...by far in terms of smoothness and speed...something that Chrome has some catching up to do on smartphones!! It is just embarrassing when iPhone 4S Safari runs faster than GS3!! :D

No - phone book integration

hahaha...see above notes by me in regard to moronic Contact organization on ICS and JB!! You are kidding, aren't you?! ICS/JB phone book are horrifically complex for no fukking reason!

No – HDMI/DLNA

Sure...good luck in using that. I rather use Airplay or BT for games. And sorry, most smartphone pictures don't deserve to be on a big screen! :D

No – microSD

Yeah, wait for it...wait for it...GOOGLE: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/1168583-post62.html

No – microUSB

Wait for it...wait for it...wait for it...your computer will eventually find that damn driver one of these days....

No – widgets

No thanks...had them...had to delete them to save battery.

No - NFC

Good luck in finding a use for that...ATT, TMo, and Verizon are doing their own thing due to security reasons.

see: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/1181344-post431.html

(Best for last) – NO BACK BUTTON!

Hint: a properly designed app or stock app don't need one. Only Android's stupidly overcomplex menu and submenu systems need one. THINK ABOUT IT Koz before responding. For example, on iOS Contacts, there is a BACK button on the screen. There is a BACK button when there is a need. Otherwise, iOS is very simple to use that you simply don't need one...just need one main button. Simplicity is beautiful, isn't it?? Despite "lack of BACK button," iOS is universally revered for its simplicity and ease of use.


Koz

My responses in BOLD. Thanks for your input Koz...but it is PURE FAIL.
 
Here is my previous post to Koz...you would think someone who spend so much time in a thread that he does not care about would have time to back up his statements...rather he admits to being a liar. :nono:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is an iPhone 5 thread. Why are you even commenting in here? Do you have one?

Hell, most of what you wrote is wrong and proves your lack of knowledge.

Prove everyone here that you're not a liar. Prove to everyone here that you are a man of your word. Prove that you're not a lying little punk. All i see is that you hide like a little boy when confronted with questions about your statements...and then take cheap shots. GROW A PAIR.

Classic Koz in denial! :D Just like JB fixing the over saturation that you claimed? I still see nothing from you Koz to back that up! Liar.

Remind me, how do you know that JB enhances battery life on your phone?? Do you have proof???????

So, JB straight from Google and Samsung will support FLASH? So, after updating your phone in the future to JB, you will be able to play FLASH materials on the OEM ROM? Show me.

How can you say fact when it has not happen yet?! Weird!

Show me where JB fixes screen saturation!

For Koz, jellybean is this great pie in the sky...see how he no longer claims superior CPU/GPU performance even with JB!! :D

Where is the meat, Koz?????????? Show everyone here that you are not full of crap. Simple request.

I have backed up everything that i type out. How about you showing the same courtesy to other members about what you write.

Ask Koz about how he feels about JD Powers!! It is hilarious!! :D
