I have no problems with iOS, being a Mac user it should be my daily driver but I love customizing my phones. Like I said in my thread (in General forums), without launchers like Nova Prime I would've likely stick with iPhone.

I love the 6S with 3D Touch, the Rose Gold color, improved iOS, etc. I really thought it would be a keeper (for 6 months at least, LOL) but last year when I bought my 2015 Nissan Murano SL AWD the Text Messaging feature wouldn't work with it, so I was forced to sell it.

This is actually pretty common... My guess is that you didn't deregister your number with iMessage. Apple kind of takes control of your number, so when another iPhone user sends you a message, it assumes your are still on their network (and won't send it via SMS). So all those phones still think you are on an iPhone yourself, so you will never get anything.

I hear ya. I go back and forth A LOT. I do tend to find myself always going back to apple as like my "home base". I find myself tinkering with my android a lot more than just using it as it's intended. I do love to tinker though lol. For me personally, it does help that literally everyone in my life except for my husband has an iPhone. So I like to be able to use things like imessage and facetime with my friends and family. Also I think I'm in the minority, but I actually like iTunes. On the flip side, I use a lot of google services and android is miles ahead in that way. But on the other other side, apple has great customer service. It's tough, and I'm rambling. But I get you.

I'm with you. I picked up a S7 last week and the longer I use it the more I realize that its a beautiful phone and a vast improvement over Samsung of old... But I'm missing my 6S. I've spent the last few days trying to trace my battery drain and tweaking settings and its made me miss the reliability of my iPhone.

If it wasn't for apple music the sim card would already be back in the 6S. The S7 is the first Samsung I haven't hated in a long time but my home base is the same as you. Add in my iPad and Macbook and yeah...

And I also like iTunes. You aren't alone. Lol.

Oh I expect my rose gold 6s currently sitting in my drawer will have the sim card back in it by end of week and the s7 will be WiFi only. Lol

That SE in rose though...

Curious why. You stated earlier you only use the phone for games and communication. What would there be to check other than communication (for which you would be notified by the notification light)?

I don't pay attention to the notification light... weird, i know. I can pick up my phone once in a while through out the day and check my messages. Also, the S7 now has the notifications on screen, even with the screen off. I don't know why but i don't check it often.
