Android phone pros and cons?

Q. Don't know what to get iOS or android

A. Android phones are on many carriers which means your options of choices are higher. The iPhone is only on 3 of the 4 major carriers, and no regional, nor VMNOs. Android devices has more design choices which might be better for you. Also, unless your carrier locked the feature out, you can install apps from other stores, or even directly from the Internet (.apk files). This maybe a good or bad thing. Android devices can get a virus, but this is where a little common sense and wisdom comes to play. All smart phones are much like micro PCs.

iPhone is dead simple to use. It has already been shown that iOS (the OS for iPhone) can be used by a toddler. With the integration of iTunes, there is not many software/device combination that works quite as well. This makes life simpler for those that don't want the hassle. This comes at a price though.The device is restricted from doing many things that an Android phone can do. This may not matter to a particular user, but for others - this can be a deal breaker.

why are all the android phones copies of the Iphone?

Q. Please don't get all harsh, I know that android was in production at the same time as OS for the iphone but can we think about it. Look at all the new phones... they all look like the Iphone, and the app pages look exactly the same. But they just can't get the touch screen to be any good... and it seems that google has been copying everything lately.. making a computer os that looks about the same as OSX, the Google TV, I mean for God sake they even called it the same thing.... when apple clearly had the apple TV, and when the Iphone OS came out, as did Android... just saying.. why isn't apple suing?

A. All android phones don't look like iphones. I have a Droid X. It has a 4.3" display that makes an iphone look like a wristwatch.

The HTC Evo and a lot of the others do. I will give you that. But, what are android phones supposed to be? Triangle shaped? A phone is basically a phone.

As for operating systems, the basic difference is Apple treats theirs as if you need a security clearance to customize, or write an app for it. That's not even to mention refusing to "allow" Adobe Flash, or Java on their browser, or refusing to allow iphone users to do simple things like download YouTube videos to their phone memory.

When it comes down to it, you don't "own" an iphone, you use it. You own an android phone and you can upgrade memory and battery, enter text on your touchscreen with Swype, download 3rd party music, and on and on.

Iphones are nice. Just not something I'd spend money on.

how do i update my android phone to 2.3?

Q. I have a metro PCS LG optimus M nad i have no clue how to update it. I am currently running android 2.2 and want to update to 2.3

A. Don't.

Android 2.3 is mostly obsolete and due to be replaced by 2.4 in a few months.

There are all sorts of Gingerbread builds but they are NOT for your phone, and will NOT work on your phone. In fact, LG had previously stated that only phones that has 1 GHz CPU will get Gingerbread. They quickly retracted that tweet later, but damage was done.

AFAIK, your Optimus does NOT have a 1GHz CPU.

Can all android phone version 2.3 upgrade to android version 4.1 ?

Q. Can xperia S update to android 4.1 ?

A. No...!! not every Android phone of ver. 2.3 can be upgradable to ver. 4.1... It depends upon the phone's configuration... If an update is available for a particular phone, you can get its details on the phone company's website...

Okay! another way, if your phone does not support ver. 4.1, you can get your phone rooted & then it is possible to run Android ver. 4.1...But i wouldn't recommend this one, as rotting a phone has several disadvantages & also if you root your within the warranty period the warranty will also void...So be Carefull.....

How do you get 3rd party apps for an at&t android phone?

Q. I was thinking about getting an android phone for my next new phone. However, my family has a contract with AT&T and I know how they feel about 3rd party apps and customization and what not. Is there a way to bypass this by hacking your phone and allowing yourself access to more apps.

A. Well At&t blocks certain apps from the market, as well as third party apps, their excuse is basically "to keep developers in check" which i find ridiculous. Android is supposed to be open source, so idk what they were thinking when they did this. But you still can install third party apps on it.
Here's a simple tutorial that will help you
Have fun. lol

How to download itunes podcasts onto an android phone?

Q. One of my college classes records lectures using Tegrity. I don't have internet access at home, or a very good cell phone service (only 2-3 bars of 3G) so I downloaded the podcasts onto my pc via itunes. I want to be able to do my homework at home (usually i stay at the library), but I can't figure out how to get those podcasts on itunes downloaded onto my android phone's memory. I want to somehow be able to view the podcasts without using an internet or cellphone service connection. Please help!
