@Dennis - totally agree & its really inevitable that these devices will have different specs and cause different user experience, which is also another plus for Apple & iOS. Overall, if I had time, I would definitely love Android for all that I can do with it, but unfortunately, I have to think of how to make money also, so no time :-) ./Ok3ch On Sat, Mar 15, 2014 at 4:45 PM, Dennis Kioko <dmbuvi@gmail.com> wrote:
On number 2. Touch on my device is very good. I have come to observe some devices are underpowered. Example: Someone at work has some HTC Something V. She complains that it hangs or slows down when she is doing calls or text.
The problem here is that her device has a single core processor. She then has installed TrueCaller, which attempts to intercept her calls and texts to give contact info. So one process has to wait for the other to finish, or the two processes end up switching back and forth between themselves hence slowing down her calls.
By design, Android allows other apps to access your calls and SMS (if you allow them when installing).
Malware gets into Android through google not vetting apps in the store (though it has been automating this and weeding out some apps) and also from side loading apps.
Side loading of apps is a well known feature (disabled by default, but most people enable it and then forget to disable). So for example, Google refuses to carry some apps eg Grooveshark on their store, but you can sideload such apps.
So yes, feature is there intentionally, just that most aren't aware of it and its implications.
