What Are You Doing Right Now

@scottalanmiller I would have assumed you were an android person.
I've had atrocious luck with Android. For a phone device, I won't touch it.

I'm very much an iOS guy. Love iOS, hate OSX.

@scottalanmiller I love my Nexus 5. I tried apple for a while. I feel weird not being able to copy files view stuff on the network.
Edit: You may be able to do that with apple (I'm not sure), but the file browsers on android make it very nice.
-
@johnhooks I'll 2nd that as a happy Nexus5 owner. Sure wish it had a bigger removable battery & microSD - but hey, for a cheap phone.....
-
I love my Windows Lumia 640XL, I get two days of battery life and removable memory.

NTG made the decision long ago to be IOS. At that point in time Android was unstable more than stable and Windows Phone was horrible. Both have improved a huge amount, well Android has Windows phone not so much. We will stick with IOS a bit longer. It integrates so nicely with Office365 that there is no reason at all to change.
-
And of course GroveSocial is completely IOS/OSX so over there I am very attached to my stuff. Though honestly I run a Windows VM on my Mac for a bit of stuff.

If it ain't broke, keep trying to fix it until it is! 8-)
I've never had a problem with doing stuff on Android or iDevices... My problem is usually these devices need cell signals to work, lol. My Note 3 was horrible for a cell phone, but excellent for a PDA. My Note 4 does pretty good for both.
-
Where is Windows Phone lacking today? Other than app availability?
-
I honestly haven't tired in more than a year to use a Windows Phone. So at the time stability with Exchange email was a big deal the stupid app would crash every time I tried to read an email. Also the lack of being able to use Lync on them and have it not crash.
-
Drawing up the framework of an app I want to create with a friend. Shit load of work just trying to define what you want to do.

@MattSpeller Whatever happened to the giant extra batteries with third party back covers they used to make for cell phones? I would much rather have a thicker phone that lasts longer.
PS. What color is yours?

Yup,.. what I am doing now. I had a Linux Mint USB drive that I just wiped to rebuild. It was working perfectly... other than I didn't set a NTFS / FAT32 partition so I could also use it on Windows.

Otterbox has a external battery case for the iOS 4. It too my phone from running a solid 2-3 days to nearly 10. Of course that also tells you how much I used it...
Alas - last year I upgraded to the 5c during the $1.00 upgrade period.
-
@johnhooks No doubt! I'd rather just have my Nexus be twice as thick right from the factory with a monster battery.
Mine is (heavily abused) black haha
-
@MattSpeller Ha, I wanted the red one so badly, but they were out when I ordered so I got a white one. It was last year right after they announced the Nexus 6 and I was afraid they would run out because the play store had none of them for a while. I waited because the speculation was the 6 was supposed to be close to the same price, so when they said $700 I promptly ordered a 5.
-
@g.jacobse I have this ridiculous case for mine that has an extra battery in it, but I stopped using it because you can't plug the usb into it to transfer data with the battery in.

Nice looking case... but yes,.. that is a draw back. The Otterbox case did allow for data, worked fine with iTunes. Sadly, I don't believe they carry it any longer.
-
Actually - just checked. Otterbox now has the Resurgence Power Case
-
@MattSpeller They have them for the S3. This brings back memories to my LG VX9800 days. I had a giant extended battery that made the bottom half of the phone super thick, since the battery was the actual back of the phone.
