I don't like Android multitasking

- Takes getting used to. As a long time Android user I am perfectly efficient with it, since the Galaxy S2 days.
1st time I see people complain about it is here at CB.
The Palm Pre was great at multitasking but it also took some getting used to when coming from another platform, e.g. I was coming from Symbian S60 and was used to Taskman.

#luvmybb10os03-16-17 09:41 PMLike 0 - The problem with BlackBerry10 was never that the OS didn't perform well, or that data entry was unreasonably difficult , or that it was unsecured or non-productive. And that's still not the issue. So don't be surprised how much you miss how well it Multi-Tasked. Because it does that well, too.

Still not BB10 but better than nothing.03-17-17 04:22 AMLike 0

Thing and I need to move between apps if I push the square button and roll through the 5 million apps that are open I find it if I accidently push the home button or the back button which a located in different places on different. You loose it. In my opinion android is crap. I don't want to start a argument for all those who love it. In my opinion it's garbage and a terrible choice for BlackBerry to move to. My opinion.
#luvmybb10os03-20-17 12:08 PMLike 0 - Sorry I will clarify. I was referring to all three back the square or open tiles. It's confusing it's annoying. It's not intuitive (imo). If you exit an app if you don't push the square button and only push the home button. You loose what you where doing. If am working on so

What OS do you suggest would have been a better choice to move to?03-20-17 10:25 PMLike 0 -
My point was bb10 is far superior os than android. Just the integrated hub is far superior to anything offered if Droid. Even down to the most simplest things. B10 is thought out. And if it was given the chance to grow. It had do much potential. And I am truly disappointed that I will be forced to move to an os, That I find lacking.
I know b10 is done. I don't need to be reminded. And constantly find myself looking on ebay. For other bb10 phone. I guess I am frustrated that I finally found an os that I like. And I am forced to move on because of BlackBerry incompetence
#luvmybb10os03-20-17 11:16 PMLike 3 - I've experimented w/ iOS on iPhones and most recently Android with my Priv. BB10 is superior N my opinion, and somewhat bias, because of the durability and longevity of the software. Very rarely does BB10 require an update 2 function properly. While the UI is simplistic and does not have as many "gimmicky" features as iOS and Android, it is supreme in efficiency N the most basic yet productive tasks.
The hardware on BB10 devices, especially the Classic & Passport, complemented the OS as well, making it feel like an ecosystem with the use of convenience keys, shortcuts and trackpads.silversmith75 likes this.03-20-17 11:46 PMLike 1 - What I'm realizing more and more is that there are 100s of millions of people with smartphones who are functionally illiterate in computing. They love their smartphones because they like having app developers limit the scope of what they can do. Simple UIs, limited options (preferably just on/off), and closed ecosystems make them comfortable.
I've literally seen dozens of people ask what app they should use to view a website on their smartphone!
For these people, task switching via a four finger swipe or home button or square button is no big deal because they work in a single app at a time, and just don't switch constantly to move data between apps to get work done. They are genuinely happy, and can't understand why other users don't 'get it.'
Before I get shouted down, I am not suggesting that all power users should use a particular platform. There are strong use cases that support each of them.
That's why these discussions are all so circular. Different levels of knowledge, skills, and need.

But to tell the truth... just using my wife's iPad and iPhone, I've come to appreciate the simple life. I do really like the things Android will let you do, and capabilities that apps like TASKER allow you to add.BigBadWulf and werkregen like this.03-23-17 11:43 AMLike 2 - Sorry I will clarify.
