      harlekkin, 28 Apr 2014Whatever. So Samsung have identified an issue, what are the... moreYou mean like the the millions of people in mass numbers..especially in the 4 somewhat followed by the 4s and then a few the 5....Have...especially after updates...Lost bluetooth and wifi function??? With many promises of a fix that never came? And even was made apparent it might be hardware level related AS WELL?? And all the camera flash fails? And it left many people unlucky. Especially without warranty.

      Actually as you can see many people care like it's the end of the world.

              AnonD-77892, 29 Apr 2014childly too. and so problimatic! I also doubt that 2GB RAM ... moreStop doubting and start testing. I have one and can confirm than it runs perfect with its 2gb ram currently (even if ram usage is quite high i recon). Nevertheless, hope to find a deal for a tradein for the Prime :)

                AnonD-77892, 29 Apr 2014Do I really need to buy so many stuffs?The word "stuff" it's already plural. You don't have to put an "s".

                  AnonD-77892, 29 Apr 2014And btw, the old iphone 4 (now a midrange product) still up... moreRiiiight... iPhone 4. Must work like a miracle with iOS7.

                  "The Apple A4 that powers the phone is now nearly four years old, and you can feel it from the moment you turn the phone on. It just isn't well-suited to iOS 7's big, sweeping animations and other graphical effects, and its jerky performance is worlds away from what you'd get on a new iPhone 5S, 5C, or even the one-year-newer 4S."

                  "You're also missing the same iOS 7 features that you didn't get in the 7.0 release, a list which we'll reprint here for your convenience alongside all of the iOS 5 and iOS 6 features the iPhone 4 didn't get.

                  3D Flyover or turn-by-turn navigation in Maps
                  Panorama mode or Filters in the Camera app (filters can still be applied after the fact in the Photos app)
                  AirPlay Mirroring
                  Siri
                  AirDrop
                  A number of the new graphical effects present on all other iOS 7 devices. These include translucency effects throughout the OS, live wallpapers, and the parallax effect used on the Home screen"

                  Simply an outstanding update. Get one.

                    glxy, 29 Apr 2014You're stupid to think owning a phone is all about updating... moreI'm still using an old Galaxy Tab P1000 (yes the oldest Tab) and installed a custom ROM (Overcome ROM) which still runs on Gingerbread, and it still works perfectly today. Now, I don't expect my 2010 tablet to still run the latest apps. I have since bought newer devices which run faster and latest apps. The point is, the old device with the old Android is still perfect.

                    (Btw, my wife's iPhone 4 and iPad Mini? Both keep force-closing apps since the update to iOS 7. I've asked around and it happens to friends too.)

                      You're stupid to think owning a phone is all about updating. It's all about getting things done - that's the stuff you paid $$$ for (not stupid updates). In an ideal world, a phone which will never need updating, yet delivers what it promises, is the ideal device. That means they did it right the first time. Unless there are serious performance or security issues, an update is purely an option. Making that option available to older devices is not a requirement.

So you want me to own a product that lack at software support? You mean own that product, pay that and be stock lifetime? How dare you! If you own a tab3 (not note8) you always need to reboot it and do factory reset every month. For you is this acceptable? Own or use it first before you comment. and dont forget to use chrome on it. Sure lag can terminate your comment lol.

                              You clearly don't like Samsung, stop using your Tab7 and your S2. Sell them off to add to getting what you really want.

                                AnonD-77892, 29 Apr 2014then how about my tab3? it is not a latest device? I always... moreTab 3 is a low ended tablet - dual core, 3MP & 1.3MP cameras, 600 x 1024 pixels screen resolution.

                                I use a Note 8, which is the same time release last year as your Tab. Never had the need to update it since it's working fine. There is little or no knowledge as to why you need to update. All anyone need to do is reset it from time to time to free up all those used space, or I do a DirectoryBind to have accumulating files generated by the apps onto a bigger micro SD card.

                                4.1.2 is still very fine. You want latest stuff, buy those lesser features Apple products you keep defending, not Samsung products. You can afford to keep bragging about them, you need to match what you ought to be using. At least that releases you the trouble of tinkering around (sounds more for you from all your Android complaints). But do not expect Apple to be providing you with an update after 2 years or running smoothly without glitches.

                                      Android ROMs could be downloaded anytime. Anybody want stock Android 4.4 in your 3-year-old device? Stop your yapping and learn to install.
