Nope, user error is not dependent on junk software. And you cannot fully delete all their bloat ware, unless it's hacked.

Which is what I do every time I get a new phone. It takes about 20 seconds.
Given that all the Android phones I have ever had are very easily hacked into locally, I consider it user error when a person complains about installed applications, but chooses to do nothing about it.
And here we have someone not quite clever enough to get the difference between a third party app crashing and the OS itself crashing and rebooting. It actually speaks to the quality of iOS that it's almost always able to drop you back at the home screen of an otherwise fully functional phone, despite every idiot can submit all kinds of buggy apps to the AppStore. The military has every chance to prevent its own apps from crashing, but it can't do anything about problems created by the OS itself.
And your misunderstanding again. There are preloaded apps in which cannot be uninstalled, only hidden. SOME apps can be deleted. Others cannot, because their licensed Apps.
I run some easily obtained rooting software from my Windows machine, then install an "uninstall" application (I think that is the actual name of it) on my phone from the Playstore. This allows me to uninstall any application, licensed, Google apps, whatever.
So this makes it a 'User error' when someone does not know or understand or choose to hack a $60.00 Android phone when your hacking phone? That's not user error Sir, your incorrect. Because that relies on one to manipulate the phone, it has nothing to do with understanding your phone and third party hacks.
If bloatware is such huge an issue and you can't take the time to google uninstall android application to find out how to uninstall this software...I...I just don't know what to say. It's not like these are untested secrets of The Dark Web, or something. Rooting Android is like basic maintenance to me in 2016. It's something I always do right off the bat and never have to worry about again. I don't complain because I don't like the default desktop background. I do something about it - I change it to my liking.
Right. Which is exactly why you proving your point that people don't want to purchase android phones do to bloat ware Why should I, the consumer want to purchase an Android Phone pre-loaded with garbage. Then, have to actually take the time and invest in a third-party hack to remove all the bloated apps that shouldn't have to be there in the first place? I'm not complaining, it's pure logic. Simple.
It's not like people go to their local cellular store and purchase an android phone and think to themselves....hmmmm...when I get home I will take the time to discover and how do I delete all this garbage off my android phone.
Again, that does not make it user error when somebody does not know how to remove third-party applications off a license phone. Most individuals do not know how to do that or have not heard of how to do that. So basically you're telling other people there ignorant and it's their fault they don't know how to hack an android phone with garbage useless apps.
Someone might, because the phone is only $60 at that point and won't lock up like iPhones costing five or ten times the price.

You deserve a liked post for John C. Reilly.
You're probably right. The military can't seem to get away from Internet Explorer. And since Apple would never budge on decrypting messages, might as well join them.
Ad hominem = instant argument fail.
Having worked on the code for a multitasking OS kernel, I know quite well.
iOS bugs can also cause app crashes and/or crashes back to the home screen.
Interesting. Turns out it's that way by law after 9/11, due to The Berry Amendment.
With a few exceptions (such as leather, rabbit fur, alpaca, etc), any large clothing acquisition must be produced in the USA from American grown textiles.
On top of that, the uniforms are definitely a no no to be made in China as it contains NIR signature management technology.
We would not be letting a foreign country to manufacture that.
Seems odd to me that the military want to use a phone that needs to be set up via iTunes and iCloud etc.
We don't have an argument, I'm lecturing you. On a five times bigger smartphone market share, Android has only double the app downloads and half the revenue of iOS. There never was an argument to be made in favor of Android as a mobile computing platform. It just doesn't work.
So more people are less willing to pay for apps, yet more apps are actually being downloaded...and that somehow relates to an OS not working as a mobile computing platform?We don't have an argument, I'm lecturing you.

A lot of things don't add up about this article.
They go from a 5.5" to a small 4.7".
From pen that can be used with gloves on to penless where you have to take your gloves off to use.
They use split screen mode but it's not supported on iPhone.
I don't buy the stability issue since I still use a Galaxy Note II as a backup because it's one of the most stable devices I've ever used with uptime in the thousands of hours and is still a viable device that was built with future proofing such as 2GB DRAM back in 2012.
The only fault is because of its age and the SoC is fabbed on an older process node so it runs warmer. This is where it would've made more sense to update to Galaxy Note 5 built on 14nm that runs cooler.
Another benefit of Galaxy Note 5 for national security is that it's not a Chinese made device.

You know when you go into the Apple store,, and the genius bar is always rammed.. why do you think that is.. chatting about the weather? Or replacing problematic devices. People in glass houses eh..
