Sorry - we never spoke about user experience. You spoke about surfing experience. These are two different beasts.
Googles stock browser isn't that bad at all.
To me the web surfing is part of the user experience. My phone just got an update late yesterday afternoon. I tried the web surfing this morning. It is slightly improved. Previous version would load web pages at full screen so I would have to flip around to see it all. I could not make it small enough to fit on the screen. When going to a web page which requires a password, like my bank, it would hide the PW filed under the keyboard. When going to data entry fields on a web page, it is not smart enough to now the phone number field should bring up the number pad. iOS recognizes these fields and changes the keyboard automatically.
This mornings update at least loads the page so it fits on the screen. To be honest that is all I tested as I really do not like surfing on my Android.
Other issues with Android is all the extra "clicks". For instance I keep GPS off, my phone burns through battery like kids through candy. I have to keep it plugged in. I get 8 hours standby 4 hours talk, and if GPS or hotspot is on, it last 1 hour without charging. I go to a navigation, says GPS is off, takes me to the GPS screen. (so far so good) then I have to start GPS flip to another screen, then the splash screen about dangers etc. After all this it bails out of Navigation program so now I have to go to programs navigate to the NAV program and restart it. Why doesn't it go back to the navigation screen?
How about keeping time. My phone HTC Evil(EVO) needs to be reset so often because of a known bug. It flips time zones and weather location about every 30 - 45 days. Sometimes power cycling fixes it, sometimes going into airplane mode and back out fixes it, and sometimes it requires a hard reset. Once it changes time zones all my text messages, e-mails, alarms etc are out of sync and difficult to follow. This has been an issue for over 1.5 years. Who should be fixing this? is this a Google issue, HTC, or Sprint? the answer is they all point fingers, so the end user (ME), gets stuck with substandard equipment that no one will fix. With iOS, Apple make the hardware, and the software, they are vested in the total experience, therefore something of this magnitude would not go un answered for 18+ months. BTW Sprint says that 100% of the EVO's do this, and the techs have told me to my face.... "it is no big deal just get use to it".
Consequently my phone is ONLY a phone now. I will not set up anything I am using it as a dumb phone with a touch screen.
How about ringer volume, I keep my phone on vibrate. I hate cell phone ring in the office and since my phone is always with me vibrate works well. The problem is at random intervals, my phone changes ring volume from vibrate to loud, or silent. I do not change this Android does it on its own.
The update I got last night was the first update I have received since owning the phone. Apple updates much more frequently.
Edit: New issue discovered... The new update has my screen locked at 40% brightness. It is so dim I can not see it outside. Even gong into settings and forcing the brightness up it does not change. End Edit
You take all these types of issues and it is easy to understand why iOS is ruling the web browsing. I am sure I am not alone in my piss poor experience with Android, perhaps just the most vocal.
