it didnt hard reset mine, simply turned it back on for me

Mine froze earlier for about 5 minutes after snapping a pic In rich contrast mode couldn’t do anything with phone. Seems like this phone is just as buggy as any android I’ve ever owned. Yesterday got melty hot and had to reset it to make it stop from overheating.

I was half joking. But for one the camera will focus.

Ok, seriously. Apple sucks as a company and what they are doing. I am not defending any other phone company out there. They all suck in some way.

I hate apple for this one reason: They set up their crap so that they can not be repaired. If one little component goes out you often can't replace that another working component. You have to replace entire boards and pay a fee that makes the repair a dumb decision.

I think they have made phones where when the camera goes out and you replace the camera with a new camera that works it won't work on your phone. All good parts but they are designed to not work on any phone that wasn't the original it was designed for.

This is their way of coercing you into buying another one of their phones long before you should have to.

So I hate Apple. And I hate every other phone manufacturer as well. I am an equal opportunity hater.

I use droid because I can remove apps that I don't want installed. My previous android phone I couldn't. Well I could but only after jailbreaking the phone.

Also I want a phone that I can drop on concrete from head high and not break the screen. I also demand a phone that I can submerge in water and it not break. A rugged phone is the way to go for me.

I do hate how my battery isn't replaceable like my previous phone. Like I said I hate them all. I just hate android less.

Glad to see you got it working, but in the future, try this simple hack:

Put on red, glass slippers. Close your eyes, and chant (over and over) - "it just works, it just works, it just works".

That should do it.

This really does seem true. The other really good feature they have is air drop. Also, I can see if you have 50 Mac products, having them all integrated is pretty cool.

Unfortunately, the ubiquity of iphones in my workplace is why I use them. It's just easier to not buck the trend. I find it interesting that among the younger crowd, iphones tend to be much more popular in the US.

You'd think that older people would want a simple device, but they tend to gravitate towards Android. Probably because they base their decisions more on cost and operate independently of whatever the mainstream does.
