But I'm h... moreIm not mad at my phone at all....and I'm not running to samsung forum to tell them my calendar icon updates but samsung is just an icon...strange you guys try so hard degrading iphone! There's only one model.....and everybody is attacking it. Just leave us guys alone..we are intelligent enough to decide for ourselves. You like your phone, I like mine. Don't force your phone down my throat! I tried it, used it, and it's not for me....so. I leave samsung fans alone in their forum, please do same to us....

And as I said, smart stay works perfectly with me as long as there is enough light. Normal lighten conditions are enough. Smart rotation my not work all that well, but I have never had a problem with smart stay on my Galaxy note 2, "it just works". :D So don't be mad because the iphone 5 doesn't have this awesome feature.

1. Lag when switching to "widget" screen
2. Side of the device get "scratch" easily, just try to hit it against anything
3. No backup features when upgrading.. (like S2 -> S3) you cannot move all apps and their respective data.
4. No game center or save state for your games
5. Over displaying of similar data on the home screen.. (etc. time on the top left hand corner .. plus ur widgets displaying the same time again!)

I can go on and on like media scanner infinite loop battery drain .. (if you got corrupted songs/pictures/videos.. it does not stop and will continue to go in scan -error loop)..

But no point.. as its up to buyer to decide what they want and what they can live with and if its worth it for them.

Every phone has its pro, cons and flaws.. don just dismiss phones like ip5 and bashing it all over especially when u do not use them for real! .. because the same can be said for s3 or note2. All are good phones.

AnonD-79010, 29 Dec 2012Ummmm..... Actually, smart stay is working great with me. The screen on my not never goes dim ... moreYou cant see a single flaw in your phones? Did you create it or manufacture it? As scratches are a problem with iphone 5, it is common knowledge that smart stay is not working 100% when the light is not on the right angle...i used gs3, note 2 and iphone...personally, not by hearsay.....and for me samsung is too big, all funny things are for people like you to let you feel you are in control shifting around, customizing etc etc...Remember, you had NO input in the creating of it....if you want battery life, go to motorola droid razr....there are so many phones running on droid and that make them vulnerable as they are depennt on google that's developing the software....apple is unique! Make comments on samsung on the samsung forum...we don't need guys like you here....

AnonD-92879, 30 Dec 2012My local weather still blank..how's it update..? Help me any iOS experts....:-)I'm no expert, but, your gps should pick up your location and set local weather. Check connections, and then search location to establish if your position/town is on the list. On weather you pres the "i" and the + to add...If not, you can download for free accuweather and set your location. I'm using both. Accuweather is also the default widget on gs3 phone on the homescreen.

AnonD-79010, 29 Dec 2012"Weather widget on homescreen? You have to manually update it!" Ummm... no you do... moreSmall detail also....gs3's icon on calendar? Its's just and icon! Iphone's icon is the day and date! Updated! Small, but it's the small detail that makes the difference....Strange the only thing you droid fans can do is be on iphone's page and try to degrade it. You will not find that on your samsung pages....o yes, I forget, the difference is there are so many pages/products....iphone just one page. HATERS ARE SECRET ADMIRERS! That you?

You listen to music that time! Then the battery will last longer than you can imagine to be on the bike! Otherwise you are very fit! Maybe you stay over for a week?? Close to a Lance Armstrong on a mountain bike!! Are you on steroids? You guys trying to degrade iphone are out of this world.

Ummm... no you do... moreThen my Gs3 was a"factory" fault...mine had a small time on it when last updated, and you have to press the little icon to let it get back to the current time's conditions. It's on the homescreen!!I used it my friend....it's the way you droid fans are ignorant!! Use and decide. YOU never touched an iphone and now you're telling people your "expierences" on it...I used Gs3, and gave it away...it's crap...and too big....jelly hean os!!! My iphone is still working.......

I know you have no other way to reply to what I said, because you know it proves with out a doubt that the iphone 5 is the inferior device when it come to battery life and just a bout everything else.

And you ask what I do out side for all that time? Hmmmm.... Let's see, mountain biking and listening to my music as I ride while running GPS record My ride or while I'm out hiking.

I don't know about any trees that I can plug my phone up to for a recharge while I'm out doing those things, but if you know of any, would you please let me know about it, I'd really like to see that?

And while were at it, my friend just noticed that the touch screen seem to be a bit unresponsive. I think that's a flaw. Or how about slow wi-fi and failure to connect? I guess those are just features and flaws?
