Hi boys and girls,
First time here, so please be nice!
Like it says in the title, I've owned (or, recently, leased) iPhones for a great number of years, and as I was about to return my leased iPhone 6 to my carrier, I decided to turn to an Android budget phone from Leagoo, the latest T5C.
So far, I'm neither impressed nor disappointed by the device itself: it cost me all of 126 euros (that's about 140 USD, I guess), has a bright 5,5-inch Sharp screen, fingerprint reader, 32 Gb of disk space, 3 Gb of RAM and, generally speaking, performs up to my (somewhat lowered) expectations, coming from an iPhone 6.
The thing is... Android... Aah...
OK, hodge-podge:
- I keep receiving this warning stating that "Downloading in GPRS will consume data" (duh), even after placing the data threshold at a whopping 190 Gb (of which I've consumed about 9 Gb as we speak); I suspect a background process such as the AccuWeather outside temperature display in the task bar is the reason why I get those warnings, but every time I go to the Play Store, I still get it, and it irks me no end...
- When the screen is dimming, but isn't dark yet, it's IMPOSSIBLE to just gently tap it to keep it awake: every single time, and however soft the tap is, I end up triggering the application whose icon happened to be under my finger...
- There doesn't seem to be a way to enable USB tethering (mobile hotspot via USB) once and for all, the way you can on an iPhone: I plug the phone into a USB slot on my PC, activate it, but if I unplug the phone, presto, the button goes to the Off position and is greyed out.
- Whenever I uninstall an application, or simply move it from one panel to the next, its emplacement stays vacant: the other apps don't move up or down to fill that empty slot, the way they do in, yes, iOS...
If you've got any ideas about those few salient points, I'd be really happy to hear them!
Meanwhile, I'm going to work on my never-ending list of gripes agains Android...
