Customization vs Reliability you say?

 

I could care less about missed calls. What did people do before answering machines? They missed the call and life STILL WENT ON.

You could care less because it is obviously not impacting to you... For the rest of the world... A lot of us use phones for business... You can be in a position where a missed call not returned could be thousands of dollars.... I'm in a position where a missed email could be an entire retail store down with no means to do business....

 

What did people do before indoor plumbing? They got through it... But I'm guessing when you have to shit you don't use a hole in the ground in your yard...

I have septic...so I try to save that too. Pumping it cost coin.

I guess you also ride a horse around.... LoL

I think this behavior changes with IOS 7. I thought I read that there is an option to configure an incoming call like any other notification: either modal or non.

 

Not quite sure how that works since there are options when a call comes in vs other notifications that just pop you to that application.

 

Still. OP may want to check the IOS 7 beta.

My fiance's contacts keep disappearing from her iPhone. Rotten Apple

 

probably more like rotten icloud or rotten exchange server or rotten gmail  or rotten itunes. It is likely fixable, but yes, such behavior can easily be induced when you set up things so that you phone is set to not win arguments about what set of data is correct when you sync contacts and expect the phone to win in actual use. 

 

This is not a problem that just the iphone has.

Couldn't. Saying "could care less" leaves room for more non caring. lol

1. No

2. If a call comes in while I'm doing something on my phone I go thru my life altering phone usage mental checklist...I can either A. stop what im doing and answer or B. reject the call and continue what I was doing. Both of which take less than 2 seconds to decide lol.

 

This isn't to difficult. Maybe get a tablet if you don't want to be interrupted with phone calls.

I guess you dont have an iphone because if your in middle of a video on an iphone and you hit decline call you cant continue the video

It's the same way on all phones....

lol loved the reference ... i hate shittin outside i need my wet wipes ... yea iphone is way better then android and if they would fix this problem and the calendar problem( i try to take birthdays off and they always come back) then it would be perfect...

Ya know you could get an iPod Touch and eliminate all this "call BS" while still having the ability to video.

 

 

Just sayin!

Drop the iPhone already and get the galaxy s4 active. This is coming from an apple user and apple lover while typing on my ipad

Interesting article on how someone can potentially spy on you with your Android phone.

meh. That article summed up: "A certain type of smartphone singled out here, being essentially a computer, is vulnerable to exploits because... It's a computer." Nothing new here. Any other smartphone and user could fall victim to the same.

 

Apple gets its security by way of an authorized app store. Android gets its security in the same way, but it also allows you to ELECT to not use it (and its provided security) if you so choose. That's the main difference. if you choose to make yourself vulnerable because you must must must have a cracked version of Candy Crush Saga, that's your decision to make.

Not exactly true.  The iOS is "sandboxed" so the only way you could download something like that is if you jailbroke your device.  Even if one app did sneak passed the Apple testers, it would not be able to do all those things without you giving it permission and is not able to access system or other app data.
