Ex iphone user.
The following things annoy me about the OS..if there is fixes for this please help.
1. Since I do not want my facebook, gmail contacts synched on my phone contact list..no email address is ever remembered when using the gmail app. I always have to reply to mails or type the full email address in. On the iphone this was never a problem, as soon as you replied to an email address the address would be logged and you can easily acess it by either typing the begining of the email or persons name. NO DAMN synching* everything!
2. When taking a picture and attaching it to a mail there is no option for changing the size of the photo. With the iphone you could choose to resize the photo when you attach it.
3. I'm using MUCH more data than ever before. I went through 250mb in just 10 days where this would have lasted me a month with the same usage as the iphone. Damn background apps. I've shut that down on all apps now..i hope.
4. The predictive text and keyboard sucks! swift key x and the standard that comes with the S3. Iphone keyboard...just works.
I'm gonna be pissed if the iphone 5 is super duper awesome and I didnt wait :/
* why does everything just wanna synch?? no google i dont want you to have ALL my information now stop trying to synch everything and then giving me crappy functionality cause i didnt synch
....Rant over.
Please feel free to correct my idiotic behaviour if any of the above can be fixed.
I see quite q few responses on this, but i thought i would put in my comments
1. I really think android phones are designed to work off gmail contacts. I personally find this an amazing feature and something i would not want to go with out. Cant see how you would get benefit from not using gmail contacts.
2. This is an issue. We can only hope google will create a fix and push out an update
3 and *. Data - mixed views here - some iPhone users report less usage on android. This comes to settings - you need to switch of auto syncing etc. A noob wouldnt know this and could get burnt - which says android is not really for noobs or the less tech savvy. Android is built for inter-connectivity. In a south african market we are being shafted by operators for data usage. iPhone users get more data on like for like contracts and this should not be the case. Its a smart phone, it is meant to be connected.
4. Everybody will battle to adjust to a new keyboard. I like swiftkey. But i take your point. Personally I have only used an iPad keyboard and if its the same as an iPhone keyboard, i find it crap.
