Rooting it (if you are not Australian :lol:) means basically getting root access to the phone, which allows you to add to or delete things from the system. It's a fairly simple process once you've done it once or twice.
One of the big benefits other than deleting unwanted manufacturers or service providers apps, is that you can also install various adblockers which won't work otherwise. Removes all those annoying banners etc. Thanks - I'll find someone young to 'root' my Priv (oo er missis!). I'd love to get rid of those chuffing ads. |
Re: Android versus iPhone
Iphone now, like with Nokia back in the day. Far from an Apple fanboy but hate anything Samsung - truly awful phones. Haven't tried any other Android phones.

1) Apple removed the headphone socket (i know you can buy adapters but that's a whole issue in itself with Apple) 2) I've played with the S7 Edge and it is a thing of beauty. The screen is simply amazing and the photos they take are outstanding. The S8 should be equally if not more amazing. 3) I'm sick of Apple telling me my icloud account is full and I refuse to subscribe for additional data. 5GB of free data is an absolute joke. So, I will be slowly but surely de-appleing myself. |
Re: Android versus iPhone
From what little I know- it makes sense to remove the 3.5mm jack connection. Essentially, it's an analogue connection, through which you listen to digital music.
Surely it would make better sense to listen through Bluetooth? Better sound quality? |

Regarding the waterproofing issue - Samsung don't seem to have this problem. In fact their IP rating is higher than the iPhone 7 even with the 3.5mm jack. I get the idea that 3.5mm is analogue. You don't have to just go completely wireless though. The problem with the i7 is that unless you want to carry 7 million adapters around you can't charge and listen to wired music at the same time. This is where wireless charging comes in (Samsung nailed this ages ago). Samsung to me are still miles ahead. Wireless charging, retina scanning, better screens etc. If they remove the 3.5mm jack they'll go to USB-C digital music with wireless charging. |

Also means having to charge another product which is less than ideal when you're out and about and the batteries go flat.

They need the extra waterproofing so you can put the fire out. :thumbup:
I put my Samsung fires out with inert gases |
Re: Android versus iPhone
I was Sony through and through, till I dropped my last one and demolished it! Mrs DJ and I both got S6's and I love it! The wireless charging is such a winner, go to bed drop it on the charger sorted.
I'm not really bothered about the camera, I use mainly GMail, Viber, Uber and Waze and all run very well. I have the NBC sports app so I can watch UK Premiership Rugby at work (shhh don't tell anyone) and the picture and clarity are top notch. As soon as I pay this one off I will definitely get the S7, S8 or whatever is out!! |
Re: Android versus iPhone
Have the Huawei P9. great phone for the price. If I hadn't bought that would have gone for the OnePlus3.

Nothing wrong with analogue. Music itself is analogue of course. As is the human ear.

Re: Android versus iPhone
I'm looking to get a new smartphone ; and Picture quality is paramount since my Sonyrx100 bit the dust. So which phone takes the best pictures?
