Smart phones

Okay, time to jump off the Apple bandwagon. I'm so tired of iPhones, especially now that my battery is dying no matter what I do, even turning my phone off. What phones do you have, if not the iPhone? What do you love/hate about them? How's the battery life? Picture storage? Camera?

Have you tried doing a factory reset and then restoring your data? Occasionally the same thing will happen to my phone and after I reset everything it fixes. What's happening with yours is that one of your apps is malfunctioning and therefore draining your battery. If you do reset your phone, just make sure you don't restore from your backup or else the same problem will continue; you should sync to iTunes for the best result.

I took it to Apple and they did that, but it didn't fix it. They basically told me my phone is a piece of junk and needs to be tossed.

As always, I knew I could count on y'all. I was looking at the Galaxy. Thanks, laides.

Which version do you have? I've had the original iPhone, the 4 and now I'm on the 5 and I've never had any problems with any of them. *i need to go find some wood to knock on now*

I have the 5. I've had all of them and overall, have like them. They're just not keeping up with technology and sacrifice the basics to get new stuff. I haven't been happy with them for awhile, but wanted to stick it out. The battery dying after the software update was the straw that broke the camel's back for me.

I have the HTC one. Loving it! Just upgraded from the HTC incredible2.

Thanks y'all. I got a new Samsung Galaxy S4 on Ebay for about half the price Verizon was going to charge. It should be here tomorrow! Woo hoo!

I have a blackberry q10. I love the real keyboard. I have tons of photo storage and the camera is pretty good too. The screen is smaller than an iphone, but I sacrificed screen size for the keyboard.
