Need a new phone

[mofo]

I was on the Android kick for a while and switched from the 6S+ to a Galaxy S8+. The biggest thing for me is battery effectiveness because I’m on the road for work a lot and use my GPS, mail client and texting a lot. My S8+ started to crap out after 3 months. I had swapped it for a new one because of the drastic decline and it happened again. I ended up switching back to iOS and got the 8+ and I get a solid 1.5 days use. Today, I’ve been streaming to an audio system, using my phone as a hot spot intermittently and checking work emails since about 11a and I’m at 63%.

I have a better experience with battery with Apple devices but I enjoy the Android range of functionality. The other reason why I stick with iOS is because every work app I need works better on iOS than it did on Android.

I agree.

I consider Android to be a pocket computer and iOS to be a smartphone.

Just got off the phone with the LG rep and convinced him that he needs to fix my phone for free. So, I am mailing it out and hopefully, it will be back in a couple of weeks, fixed.

Phone got fixed by LG. They had to replace the circuit board. It's on its way back, should receive it on Saturday. No money out of pocket.

When the next one comes out without the stupid bar thing that blocks the top part of the screen you won't love it so much. Ha

I don’t notice it at all in portrait mode. It is more noticeable in landscape, but I never use my phone in that orintarion.
