Android 4.4.2 vs Blackberry 10.2.1 My perspective
- My keyboard of choice, extraordinarily functional and adaptable. Not the BB virtual keyboard, but real good.02-24-14 11:22 PMLike 0

- as most said, fair and informational write-up... I learned a few things about Android..
one question I have though, what in THE WORLD were you doing that your battery only lasted 6 hours? streaming or playing games for a majority of the time is the only way you could kill a healthy battery that fast... either that, or u had a defective one... my batt lasts all day easily...

- I'm with u. Z10 battery life really isn't all that good. 6 hours is the norm for me and I mostly just browse the web, bbm, or am on crackberry
Just want to say that was a fantastic comparison....I really looked forward to it once I saw it was you who was comparing the devices am cause u are a more unbiased person on crackberry.
Most people here I wouldn't think twice about even attempting to read a "honest" comparison from them. Good job again

I still have my z10 and hope to do another comparison once 10.3 is released!

Only ever had to force an app closed twice on the S4 since getting it in July.
I've had to force-close quite a few apps on my Z10 but those have all (barring one) been headless Android apps - the native one being the headless SayIt app that was messing with my system.
I enjoyed the relatively impartial analysis of the phones, DarkHawke.
I actually want to commend you on getting the use or irony correct in an earlier post - most people muck it up.darkehawke likes this.02-25-14 04:43 PMLike 1 - I had a lot of Android experiences and I know that the feeling about it change as time goes on.
In a few months your Android will slow down significantly and it will be not as smooth as today. Also: Android is always different on grafic, UI and other things, as you switch to another device. I prefer a more consistent OS.
On the other hand I feel blas� about an OS that has 80% of the smartphone market now, even in the low cost market of 90$ smartphones: I dare to be different.02-25-14 05:28 PMLike 0 - I had a lot of Android experiences and I know that the feeling about it change as time goes on.

The second point is one that amuses me. If blackberry becomes number 1 doe that mean you will drop them?

Interesting point you make about sayit. That app caused me a bit of trouble too.
Google maps was a problem on the z10 too. However I find that Android is really efficient in handling it's headless apps. It's nowhere near the problem it was on the blackberry.
Something blackberry may want to consider when updating the runtime

For point 2: I am one of the first BB users, nearly from the beginning, so my heart lies here. BB was never the biggest one, cause Nokia was number one at the time. Anyway maybe, if it changes the vision and becomes like Apple here in Italy, I will switch to another platform easily...02-26-14 12:03 PMLike 0 - For point 1: Android slows down, thats why it needs the most powerful processors: when CPU's were not as fast, phones did have more problems than the old OS 7.

Posted via the Android CrackBerry App!02-26-14 12:20 PMLike 0 - Well I've heard Google added an ART runtime to 4.4 to make Android smoother so it's possible that it doesn't need the extra processing power to run smoothly.

Unless by "Android phones" you meant Nexus phones only, which is a very narrow definition of Android some people like to selectively use around here, often just to deflect criticism of the platform.Cyanide971 likes this.02-26-14 02:09 PMLike 1 - ART is a developers option so still has some rough edges, it is faster than Davlik however some apps do not play well with it. Will probably go into the next OS version after Lollipop sometime in 2015.02-26-14 04:49 PMLike 0
- I have a GS3 with stock 4.3, and there is very noticeable slowing down. For example, when I take a screenshot, it takes a second for the image to be ready for processing (main thing I do is menu>crop, and it's not through a third party app) when previously on 4.2.2 and before, it used to come up and be ready instantaneously. Calls logs (through the native dialer) also have a horrible display time, ever since I got the phone, and 4.3 has done nothing towards fixing that.

On my Galaxy Nexus, once I installed 4.3, most of the lag was gone. Now I have a ROM based on AOSP 4.4 and all lag has been eliminated.
Why? Because TRIM is enabled.02-26-14 08:27 PMLike 0
