Android fails and pet hates

[Adenoid Hynkel]

iOS as a whole.

Different strokes for different folks.

My biggest gripe with iOS mail is that you can only filter by date. It lacks some features for power users. The only thing it has going for it is the clean look. Have a look at air mail for iOS.

Not for me. Thx.

Yes, you’re poor, you told us.

Any email client? I see no such option on my s8.

It shows the option with larger files, see screenshot below where I have an image that is +2MB.

If anyone wants to try the Samsung Email app here is the Playstore link:

Agreed. I barely use my iPad for productivity, use it just for Netflix and Amazon Prime in bed or when travelling, iOS still has a lot missing for me to ever solely depend on it for actual work when mobile. Something that I cannot believe iOS still doesn't have is a Multi Item Clipboard e.g. if I am copying different things from different apps (e.g. an article from a website in the browser, a piece of a previous mail and maybe something from my notes app), on my Galaxy Note I can just go to each app, copy what I want and then go to the email app and open the Clipboard paste everything accordingly, much like I would on a PC. I've learnt to see iOS as more of a platform that is good at handling my entertainment, while Android can do both my entertainment and productivity.

The you need to shut up and live with the problems.

You dug your own hole.


The above is of course all a joke.

Funny I try mail apps every so often and get bored or they get **** canned (Google Inbox) then come back to Apple Mail and love it all over again.

I don’t see the phone as a place where power features shouldn’t even be a thing. It should be as basic as possible and FAST.

Ja. I remember the time when replying to an sms on iOS was considered a power feature. Had to use my Nokia brick to do complicated things like that.

And Google inbox was crap!!

There was never a time the iPhone couldn’t sms.

And Google Inbox is the best mail application ever. It boggles my mind they would kill it off. Probably can’t figure out where to put the ads so now we just all suffer.

What do you mean multi item clipboard? And since when does a PC do that by default?

It copy and pastes one thing at a time unless you use third party software.

I would happily do most of my work on an iPad Pro.

Thats exactly the problem. When I am mobile and want to bash out a large email that may need to contain some bits of research and suggestions, I do not want to go back and forth copying and pasting, it takes forever.

Here is the Clipboard that I have long appreciated in Samsungs, it keeps everything I copy in a Clipboard that I can bring up whenever I need to, therefore no needing to go back and forth waisting time doing things one-by-one (that is so 2006 in my Sony Ericsson). This is very efficient for those of us who do a lot of emails in and out of the office, not even an iPad Pro has this functionality, which is quite shocking

So a Samsung add-on and not something usually found on Android or even a PC then?

I think that’s known as third party software...


And amazingly similar apps are apparently also available for iOS.

It depends on phone to phone, if I am not mistaken most Androids with custom UI have their own clipboards, not just Samsung. It's down to how it's setup by each OEM, however it is a supported Android feature that each OEM can decide on how it's implemented.

So they add third party apps?

Is $2.99 too expensive to add the functionality (and even more) for your iPad?

Why buy something that I already have on the other platform for free that makes ZERO sense!

I'm more than happy to pay for Apple Music and the various streaming services as they are paid across the platforms, but to buy something I already have for free? That's just stupidity.

As someone said previously in this thread:

A fool and his money are easily parted

 

[BlackMamba]

Photos app on Android one gives you an option to resize or rather to choose a smaller size

You were the one complaining and wishing for the functionality, it’s there if you want it (there’s even free apps).

Or were you just complaining because you wanted Samsung to look more advanced?

If you are talking about that rubbish +Clipboard app, then you clearly have missed the entire point buddy still requires back and forth, but you just add an app in the mix, may as well just use the notes app and drop everything there, still cumbersome and inefficient.

Whatever you say, fanboy, did you even go read the link?

Probably not...
