Who's ranting besides you? You're not even making sense. 33% of the ohones out there are Iphones with glass screens yet she has never had anyone come in with a cracked droid screen. By your logic, 66% of the cracked screens should be droids but they're not. BTW, my boss broke her Iphone screen, twice.

Re-read what I wrote (preferably while not intoxicated) and try again, my friend.

Dud, I don't drink and I did read what you wrote. You said I was ranting. You said there are more Iphone scrren breakages than droids because droids outnumber Iphones 2:1.:upeyes:

No....I said there are way more iphones than any one android model (Android has more market share but its split amongst 50-someodd phones). So naturally you would see more of them being broken. This really isn't complicated.

I have an Android. I haven't found it any more customizable than iOS devices. The built-in iTunes synchronizer is now a paid app. It's completely ridiculous that Google hasn't developed their own iTunes sync software for all Android devices. I'd switch back to a Blackberry if I didn't think RIM would go belly up at any moment.

You must work for the Federal Reserve with your command of statistics. She doesn't see ANY broken droid screens. Not that it has never happened, but she has never had one come in to her and she sees Iphone screens broken on a daily basis even though they are less than a majority of the the phones in use (according to you).

You're correct, it's really not that complicated. I offered anectdotal evidence that Iphone screens are fragile. You offered an explanation based on some statistical theory of yours that since Iphones make up a plurality of the phones out there, they should be the only ones with a constant problem of screen breakages.:faint:

Question for droid users: how do you manage your mp3s? Is there software like iTunes that you must use?

 

[Bushflyr]

For MP3's you can just drag and drop them into your music folder on the phone. Any music player app will find them. Just be sure to organize them in Artist > Album trees and have them properly tagged before import.

I really don't know how to make this any simpler for you without breaking out the crayons.

First, I said there would be more of them showing up broken, not they'd be the only ones. Words mean things.

Here's a list of android phones by market share: http://www.appbrain.com/stats/top-android-phones

Since you seem so fond of them, the Droid X shows up on the list with 1.7%....so iphones outnumber them about 16 to 1. Even the top of the list Galaxy S2 is outnumbered ~3:1. Alot more of them = more showing up broken.

Finally and more relevant to the thread overall, screens aren't magic and all of them are pretty durable, but careless use will break either one. Even a cheap case is money well spent.

I couldn't decide on Android or iPhone for my next upgrade. You just made my decision. :supergrin:

Edit: actually, can't you do that with a rooted iPhone too, via FTP or something?

Did a test last night with my Pantech Android and the Square card reader. Perfect.

The Pantech is a good size. 4" screen. Not huge, but a great screen.

Okay, you win:upeyes:

For everyone else, there is a lot of people who claim the screen on Iphones are easily broken by doing such unthinkable things as dropping them. That same condition is not often attributed to common droid phones. In the experience of my wife, who sells more of them than the common user comes into contact with, she sees customers on a daily basis with cracked Iphone screens and has never mentioned seeing a broken droid screen. Whether this is indicative of one phone being better than the other, I have no idea. I drop my dumb phone probably once or twice a month. Maybe I'm special like that. If you are like me, and lots of other people, consider the merits of the more durable screen on the droid.

I've worked in phone repair, and iPhone screens get broken a lot more in my experience. They're also really annoying to work on...much like macs

[Detectorist]

Almost everyone I know who has an iPhone, has had a broken screen. Also, the 4s is glass on BOTH sides of the phone.

Question for droid users: how do you manage your mp3s? Is there software like iTunes that you must use?

I use a program called doubletwist on my HTC Evo which if you get the paid version will also allow you to sync to your desktop much like itunes does. I just use the free version as a player and organizer, it works great. The stock audio player is ok but there are so many other better options out there.
