Smart stupid and cellphones

[MessyHonda]

this reminds me of computers. when you go into the store and buy a computer at least back in the day it would come with tons of preloaded software and lots of stuff that a regular person would never use. first thing i would do to any computer would be to wipe it off and reinstall a clean reinstall with out the extra junk.

Computers are still loaded down with crapware. Just bought my mom a laptop, and it's full of bloat like a whale.

Sounds like something is triggering buttons. A double tap of the home button unlocks my phone. There is also a button shortcut on Android devices that takes screenshots. Does your phone live in a case, or is it naked?

Somewhat naked, just a snap hard cover with some knd of texture.... radio shack gave a discount on covers for having to wait so long, not much to choose from.

I use an android too but the HTC version, I like the sense setup a whole lot better. I too have mine rooted and a custom rom installed that has so many features I haven't even taken the time to learn to use it all except what I wanted to get the interface the way I like it. Tried a Sammy S3 once for 2 weeks and sold it on ebay, too clunky for my taste, too many unnecessary steps to get to what you want.

I used this for sms on my old Evo 4g and it was pretty good https://play.google.com/store/apps/d....nextsms&hl=en I like the factory messenger better on my EVO LTE though

I love my gs3. I REALLY need to update the thing, though. I use mine for network testing at least twice a week at work. The radios in them suck, so they are great for testing for worst case scenarios. Love the huge screen, too.

Remember guys, they make so many phones because different people need different things.

My first act after buying my latest laptop was to blow away Windows 8 and install Ubuntu. I made a backup image of Win 8 to preserve resale value of course, but it felt really good to know that I will not be annoyed by all of Windows' drama. I don't miss Windows at all.

It gets used for Netflix, so unless something has changed with Silverlight compatibility, then she's stuck with a Windows PC or a Mac.

Give it a shot.
