Long story short...are any Android devices good for longer than a week? So I've only had the phone for a few weeks and it's already acting very strange. I'll list the things it does below. And I should note that I've never dropped the phone and it's always been charged and unplugged at 100% and basically babied it's entire life within its otterbox.
1.) People can't hear me nor I them in calls. I will have full bars (on ATT in Texas) and the call just stays silent I wont even hear a ring. The only way to fix this is by turning the phone off and back on again.
2.) The phone keeps telling me to start the pedometer. I will go to notifications, swipe it away AND LITERALLY a second later it notifies me again and this will go on as long as I let it until I force stop and shutdown the app. This sucks because I use the heart rate monitor at least 5 times a day so after shutting it down I must restart it to use it.
3.) I will slide up the camera from the lock screen and it will open then shut down and take me to the lock screen. It does this intermittently but it is annoying as sometimes I'd like to take a quick photo of an on coming car or something I see in the near distance.
4.) The camera has no idea what to focus on and even if I tell it what to focus on it just focuses on it for a second, it looks INCREDIBLE, then it unfocuses itself and takes a crappy picture. I'm not talking hardcore macro photos here just simple dishes in the kitchen or passages in a book.
4.) The swipe keyboard throws in the most random words ever. In this department the HTC One M7 was hands down better. I thought the phones system would learn the way I type and the words I use? It seemed to have done this in its first week then decided "screw you I'm tired" and just started behaving terribly.
That is basically it so far. But these little things happen almost every other day now and for the price of the phone I don't think I'm asking for much when by complaining about these things and expecting more...
I thought I would never rant about this phone but damn it. It happened so soon.
