Lol at uptime....that counter doesn't reset unless you manually restart your phone or let the battery die completely. So boasting 249 hours of uptime is silly. The funny thing is i have a feeling you know this and are yet trying to make uptime seem like some important stat...Nice try.
Got a tip for us?

The notification system that isn't that useful to begin with?
I have a notification center. It's called the lock screen.
That's a beautiful phone. Wish Apple offered something like that. Instead I'm stuck with their dinky crap.
Copying the Siri button - Well, OK.
Copying the iPod Shuffle - Probably infringing Apple patents, but alright, who cares.
But:
If you take this, replace 'Humanities' with 'Nature' and make it your own idea: That's kind of over the top.
Samsung is always a step behind from apple...technology is 600 miles away from apple by now, liberal arts is 1500 miles away, and their new sign is:
Totally didn't copy Apple. They call it 'borrowing'...without the royalties of course
Actually the technical term is for what Samsung are doing Is 'backing up' Apple's iPhone.
I think it's stupid that it still has a button and the two capacitive buttons. Ice Cream Sandwhich looks badass because of that, at least in my opinion. Other than that it seems Samsung has rehashed what did back in October in a very boring manner.
Everyone I talk to on Android Central says the same thing. "No problems here!"
All the real, actual people that I know and interact with in real non-internet life who has a GNex (3 of us) have the same problems (at least the constant rebooting and overheating). Who do I believe?
Google "Galaxy Nexus rebooting randomly" or "Galaxy Nexus random reboot".
Consider yourself one of the lucky few who has had good experiences with this lemon.
Everyone on the Android sites swear they never have problems. Obviously they're just keeping their blinders on. I had the gnex for a month, and gave it away i liked the size, liked it when it worked, but hated the random rebooting and data loss. Android oems and Google need to fix their software now, enough with the useless hardware stuffing!
I don't think "Apple store" is apples invention, any company would use it if they have enough customers to visit, sony had for ages, and Dell had online stores before apple. so we need to be more reasonable as a Apple User
there are bunch of old curvy shaped phones, we can't say they copied from 3gs,
for human hand shape it is more comfortable so any company can use it, to be honest I'm stuck with my 3gs, cos 4s' edges very uncomfy for me (sure some people like it), we hope they bring it back in next iPhone
While I never cared about this too much I am pretty sure that for all operating systems up time means the same thing - time after the last reboot. And that is the only thing that maters when we speak about OS stability. Or did you refer to app crashes as OS crashes? So, yes, up time is a very important stat - the one that shows hardware and OS stability.
If you want bigger phones with higher specs then you've had plenty of android options for a long time. If you want iOS, the app store, iTunes integration, apple design, and iCloud, then no amount of additional inches or processing cores are going to give you those things. So all this is, is a slightly more advanced iteration of all the android mega phones we've been seeing for years. And a particularly ugly one, at that. Doesn't change the basic situation.
I don't understand what you're trying to say. I don't like the design of the S3 either.
Well, one difference might be that I have GSM version (on AT&T). Most people in US have Verizon/LTE version. LTE is known to cause overheating. With current generation of LTE chips there is no way around it.
Any sources on battery life? It'd be one of the few things that could convince me to move to android.
Wrong again. When an Android phone goes through what is known as a "random reboot" it displays the boot animation again and then goes back into the os. The uptime is not affected after a random reboot. So your 249 hours is misleading because you could have had seventy seven random reboots in those 249 hours and the uptime would still be counting up (of course you'll argue that you're the one Android user who's never had a random reboot
)The only way the Android uptime is reset is if you manually restart your phone, or the battery dies and you charge it again. Even if you turn your phone off completely and then start it again, the uptime doesn't reset. So no, Android uptime is not an important stat.
