Might be coming back home brehs. fukk the iPhone

Wait...u had a iphone breh? Why?

To be honest I almost got a iphone5s and switch back to ATT solely because of the fact that my jobs network only supports iphone devices...im at work using my cellphone data because I can't use WiFi all this time thinking my job title wasnt allowed to be on WiFi.....it was all because I was on android . Tmobile data is great everywhere for me EXCEPT inside my workplace. I can't stream anything and have to download my podcasts at home.before I leave for work. I can do light browsing but its slow....streaming music or video is impossible at work.

Also I'm extremely jealous of the iphones camera app. After all these years being so concerned about widgets and customizations...I'm starting to not care so much about a lot of that stuff and find myself only really using basic apps and the camera. My home screen is basic..just a few folders . also I've ran into a couple situations where there was a certain app that works on iPhone and doesn't work well on android...couple apps I want that aren't available at all on android...which rarely happens.

Still though...iphone screens need a update...I'd actually be fine with a 4.3 inch sharp screen but the narrowness of iphone screens still rub me the wrong way. Also that iphone battery life seems .

What android phone you plan to get? When are we getting a camera app that rivals iphones?

I'm still on my nexus 4 and love it besides the reasons I've stated already...my next phone purchase will be hard...I'm hoping the new gs5 is high quality...if not...if that next iPhone has a 4.5-4.7 screen I might consider iphone again

Yep if you root and put the latest firmware on your phone. My kids have emoji and all that shyt. Rock GS3's on stock firmware brehs

 

[Demonic Jenkins]

Can't believe colored emojis is a serious selling point for somebody lol. Shame on that breh.

 

[Czerka]

yeah with the nexus line gone i dont know wherre to go next. i dont fukk with samsung plastic phones and i dont like HTC skins. i like some of the motorola phones and they have good battery life. gonna see what apple has to offer next, might finally have to make that switch

 

[BantuKnotz99]

If you're rooted, they can be easily changed out for the "real" iPhone emoji... It's just a matter of copying file and making a one line change.
I posted the link in here a few pages back..

I can't find the link can you help me out, I've never rooted a android

I wouldn't waste my time then. Very involved process just to get some emoji

 

[R.E.N. Spells Ren]

What are colored emoji's exactly? could someone post an example.

I am not rooted, and I get colored smiley's

Honestly, if the rumors of a man sized iPhone are true, I'm gonna try it just cuz.

I've only dipped my toes iOS water and came away with the impression that android is significantly better, for the most part. My main gripes with android would require me to fully go into iOS to see if it's any better in those categories

IOS emoji

 

[R.E.N. Spells Ren]

IOS emoji

Ya, so I'm pretty sure I have those.

I know I can recieve them, cuz I do...but I have never tried to send those. I thought only women used them

Wake me up when any of these phones can send custom emojis (colli smileys )

provide me with the details, I want to root my device

I hope you understand that you do NOT need to root to get iOS emoji. You can get them in the major messaging apps (GOSMS, handcent, etc).

If you really want to root, just google it. Cuz if you can't figure out how to root that way, you probably shouldn't root. Rooting is the EASY part. It's the keeping up with updates and shyt that's cumbersome, so you best make sure you're really about that developer life before you do it.
