What are you downloading on your Android device that makes it so unprotected? Yes, downloading Porn from sites like 4shared probably isn't safe!

Sure you'd know all about that.

Tried to overclock the Samsung Acclaim before. It overheated and stopped working lol

So essentially the only reason you don't like your S4 is because of the pre-installed apps? Guess what Apple has? Pre-installed apps. Also, get this, you can hide those apps.

Also, safe from malware? You're never truly safe from malware. Although Jailbreaking does give you root permissions to your phone, what if malware finds the same exploit, and uses root privileges to mess it up?

Also, on Android, the only way you're going to get malware is if you decided to go into Settings and allow apps to be installed not on the play store. Then you decide to do something stupid like downloading an app online.

Not just that. It had a clunky keyboard, a hard to navigate settings app and the Google Play store constantly froze. Apple is a much more solid experience to me. But I guess everyone is different. It also ran Graal very poorly although I'm sure its just the unrefined Android Application itself. The S4 should be running Graal great especially with it's great specs.

You realize that there are hundreds or thousands of keyboards for android? Also the play store constantly freezing? Just seems like you had a bad manufacturer. I've never encountered an issue with my S3. Yah I wouldn't blame android for the horrible app experience of Graal because that's how Eurocenter developed it.

I know about the keyboards. I just wasn't too thrilled about the fact it saved personal info you typed in (credit card #'s, Address etc.)

Adware is still technically malware, the average user won't notice and the Play Store is terrible at moderation.

Ya, some apps will most definitely place shortcuts and spam notifications. Also, a lot of people don't really pay attention to the sort of privileges they are giving apps on install... such as giving a flashlight app access to almost everything, like phone numbers and gps.

What I don't understand is why a flashlight app needs access to all that. Yet another reason why iOS is superior.

It doesn't, they use it to track information and such. People just don't care to use common sense.

Just shut the **** up if you're not going to spew anything other than fanboyism.  

Another one of those threads again...  

Android lets me be a bigger nerd. I can use my phone in my embedded projects.  

All I did was ask a question, and a wild flame war appeared.

Dammit.
