Re: [H] Android phone
Not to mention it's that specific brands experience because there are so many flavors of Android. Funny I expected to see apple not windows as the claimed superior monolithic experience. You need another app to answer & make calls? Isn't that built-in and what's wrong with it that you're missing calls to point if searching for apps? Call blocking is not a network feature like landlines, so totally at the mercy of contacts & dialer apps. Some Android I have it, others I have created single contact and dump all DND there.

Re: [H] Android phone
Huh? I can swipe on on the answer button to answer, and swipe up on the reject answer to reject it. Dirt simple. I can do this with or without my glasses. Something is wrong with your phone if you think Android is hard to answer a call on.

Re: [H] Android phone
While I'm inclined to agree--a phone should, above all else, be a functional phone--the reality is that phone calls don't even crack the top 5 in terms of things people use smartphones for anymore. There's no doubt I do more non-phone things than phone calls, myself. -Original Message- From: Hardware [mailto:hardware-boun...@lists.hardwaregroup.com] On Behalf Of Winterlight Sent: Sunday, August 21, 2016 4:08 PM To: hardw...@lists.hardwaregroup.com Subject: Re: [H] Android phone maybe so... but the any end user ought to be able to answer the phone without thinking about it.

Re: [H] Android phone
I prefer android but only run phones that have cynanogen ROMs available. I think there is one for that mode phonel although if you've never rooted and installed a custom ROM it might take a while the first time. I've done 20 or so phones and tablets so it doesn't seem like a big deal to me. All Cyanogenmod ROMs have blacklisting built in and very easy to do. Select number from log that you don't ever want calling again by long tap and hold, slect add to blacklist. Done Most phones feel almost 2x faster with a good custom ROM. lopaka From: Winterlight To: hardw...@lists.hardwaregroup.com Sent: Sunday, August 21, 2016 2:08 PM Subject: Re: [H] Android phone maybe so... but the any end user ought to be able to answer the phone without thinking about it.

[H] Android phone
I am forced to use a Android phone for my business phone Moto G 2 because of the app support. I don't have a problem with the hardware but I dislike the OS. Everything is a learning curve. My personal phone is a Windows 10 phone which I love, and I have never had to look up anything. With this Android phone even something as simple as answering the phone was a learning curve hell, there are a dozen apps just to help you answer the phone, and a google search proved I wasn't alone in missing one call after another. So now I am trying to find a simple way to block spammers. Windows phone... select the number in history...select block and your done. However this POS Android phone I apparently have to add the number to the contacts before I am allowed to block it is there a simpler way to do this in Android.
