Hello group
I am a few days away from being able to return my iPhone and get a full refund. I initially had a Moto X (sold it already) for about a year (other android phones prior to that) and then decided to join the rest of my family and get the iPhone. It is really hard to get over the restrictions of iOS even with version 8. (Plus a removable battery (bigger at that) and expandable storage is appealing).
I am really considering a G3 and hoping some of you can answer a few questions:
1. I played with one in the store and it just seemed to lag. I am hoping this was related to the god awful demo software verizon has on there, but hard to truly assess how well the phone runs overall. Also, it was allowing me to uninstall some of the atrocious bloat on there, but is that actually for real or just through the demo? If I were to get the phone, could I remove all of that superfluous software?
2. In the drop down notification shade, I saw this huge banner for connecting a remote for a TV. Please tell me there is a way to remove this if one does not have a LG TV.
3. Tried playing with the camera as best as possible, but again hard when tethered to the wall. One thing I did notice was if I touched the screen, it would not activate the shutter, I had to touch the camera button. Is this the only way?
3a. Is there a "quick" way to activate the camera when the phone is asleep (ie with Moto X shake it)?
Thank you again for any responses.
