iphone, do they get forceclose?

Just wondering, since iOS is a much more closed echosystem. Do they get forcecloses (or whatever they call them) with their apps.
Recently I've gotten a few forceclose when trying to use the Navigate app. It annoyed me, since this is a google product running on a google phone. Just had me wondering if iPhone has same issues?

Really? I think your Navigate app sent you to the wrong forum?

I used to have an iPhone. I had about the same number of force closes on it as I have my skyrocket which is to say very few.
My android tablet however gets a ton of force closes. I suppose it depends on which android device.

I didn't know where else to post this.

IPhone apps just close. You do not get an error message.

Obviously being on a ICS leak the past month one would expect more FC but I will say my iPhone did have less issues with apps crashing on a whole. But some apps would have issues. I would say apple tends to have issues more with individual apps than general issues like I get with Droid. One is really not better than the other in this case. As usual, its more of the app programmers than the OS that will cause these issues.

The apps crash every now and then, but I attributed it to jailbreak tweaks. I can't remember it ever really crashing when it was stock. Maybe once or twice.

A good deal of force closes are caused by the user. No properly knowing how to use the device. And there are ways to fix force closes. Unless its an actuall problem with an app. Just invloves some reading

I had a friend whose first gen iphone froze up completely and he had to wait for the battery to die before he could use it again.

I'm on stock Rogers ROM (I'm not even rooted). And I've gotten forcecloses for trying to go to the home screen (home.android), navigate app, the dialer once or twice force closed, the SMS app. These are suppose to be the stable core apps, I was just surprised that they forceclosed.
I was just curious if iOS had the same problems for their core apps?

iOS apps don't throw an error on the screen when they have a problem, they simply close. Apple likes a polite crash instead of supplying a useful message stating the app you have might be a pile of crap.
You would be shocked at how many iPhone users don't realize just how often their apps die.
I hear a lot of them brush it off as them accidentally hitting the home button or something similar. That's when I give my signature response... "It crashed you moron."
My wife has an iPhone 4 and she was shocked when I pointed out that her apps had in fact crashed.
Sheep will be sheep I guess.

On Android developers also have to make their apps work on several operating systems and hundreds of phones. Apple has to make work on one phone...

More like 4 phones (3G, 3GS, 4 and 4S), two different screen resolutions and 3 major versions of iOS.
Some people still use a 3G and a lot of people still have a 3GS, myself included.
Apps are not 100% compatible between them and the 3G only supports iOS 3.1.3 and below.
The 3GS runs 5.1, but it's slow as mud.

This is not my first Android phone, but I'm just surprised that some of the core apps (mentioned in my previous post, dialer, home screen, stock SMS) forceclosed.

I knew foreclosing was a huge issue but didn't know it was hitting phones!!!!

One phone or four phones. I was being sarcastic saying one. They are still closed source crap operating systems. My point is that its harder to make an app on android than apple, because of the variations of Android devices.

Wheres SMS?

Just got my N5, and aside from unlocking and whatnot that I'm doing right now, I quickly noticed no SMS app like in 4.2/4.3
Is hangouts now the substitute? If that's the case, then that blows. Ideally I wanted to use titanium to restore all of my SMS messages from my galaxy nexus.
Damn....

Hangouts is the substitute, however, check the themes and apps section, someone posted a functional AOSP messaging app. I don't know if I recommend restoring from your GN though, but that's entirely up to you.

Yeah, everything is getting integrated with Hangouts. It blows losing the old messages (I had some saved for years on there), but Hangouts is actually pretty nice.

Ya, I'm sure its killer and I don't mind change, but my wife is a little different. I don't think she'll like losing all of those txt/mms messages. I bought two nexus 5's and although I'll be ok with losing my sms's, I can't see her feeling the same opinion. lol

just install hangouts on your gnex. it'll pick up all of your sms's. then backup hangouts and restore it on your n5. I did that exact process on my n4

I used Ritesh Sahu's SMS Backup Restore app today from Gnex stock messaging to Hangouts on N5. Worked great, just had to follow the messages about setting the default app.

Just out of curiosity. Why do you need texts from years a go? What's so important about them.

I guess nothing. So long as I can extract the mms's which I know there are apps out there I guess that's all that matters. Maybe I'll just tell her to suck it up so I can save myself some work eh.

Shift worker app

Does anyone know what shift worker app is the best on the android market? I rely on these apps to plan my months and the one I used to use on my iPhone doesn't appear to be available. Any help would be really appreciated!!

I just bit the bullet and entered all my shifts into Google Calendar. My shift pattern repeats after 10 weeks, so although it took me a little while to get those first ten entered, the "repeat every xx...." function in Calendar means I never have to mess around with it again.
Also, having it in my calendar means that Google Now can give me reminders when to leave for work early if, for instance, the traffic is bad that day.
Plus, if I ever move away from Android (unlikely) then my Calendar can come with me, no issues - rather than facing the same problem which you have now.
To actually display my calendar I like Calendar Pad's widget. Also I have Calendar Status Pro in my notification shade, which is handy because I have a constant reminder of calendar appointments every time I pull down the shade.
I'm always interested in trying out new solutions if they can provide better functionality though, so I'd be interested to hear what other people use too

That's an idea I had already contemplated but my shifts change every 5 weeks. I used an app on the iPhone called 'Shift worker' made by a company called production shed. I've emailed them to see if they have the same app available for android but I highly doubt it! Shame a dev couldn't come up with something that we could really make great use of! All the apps I've saw just look mega complicated. Might need to resort to Google calendar though and integrate it with Google now.

I have used Flexr for about a year. :good:

Arbeitskalender is also a good app. You can find it in PlayStore. I am sorry, I don't have the link right now.

What's bad about it?
I tried it, it seems to be like most other messaging apps.
It has the feature of seeing that the other party is typing as long as they too are using message+.
I didn't like it because it stores all messages including pics in the cloud.

I don't think it sounds dumb. I prefer standard emojis over the Android ones. I've started using handcent again for the background customization, and because it can be set to use standard emojis.

Ah. See she had the iPhone before and this is the only reason she traded for the note 5 because of the enhanced messaging.. But I guess Verizon disabled it and added Verizon messages... IF we had root it wouldn't be hard to get it back probably.

The SwiftKey keyboard has a lot of similar emojis built in but I think as soon as you we it in vz messages it changes. If she didn't have it and you did you emoji in vz messages will come across as the identical one on her app when she gets it. Whether its in stock or hangouts etc.
I use it because if the message sync to my computer and it acts as a backup.
Also the update on the 15th now lets you wifi call on some phones and all the tablets

I tried the VZ Message+ but stopped using it once I realized group texts and some pics to Sprint users weren't showing up. I started using the installed Messages application. I liked the features in VZ Messages+ but until that is fixed I can't use it.

mobile data not available while you're on this call

I started getting this pop up message on my VZW Note 5
mobile data not available while you're on this call. It happens when I am working with a webpage or app and a phone call comes in.
Anyone have this come up and figure out how to stop it?

You can only have data and voice at the same time if you are using advanced calling. If not, data switches off when on voice.

Great, I cannot turn advanced calling on...... This didnt start happening until recently.

Try signing up for it in your control panel on the website under "my services." It might be switched off from there. After doing so you should be able to switch it back on on your phone.

Yes, for the newer phones like the note 5, they do not have dual radio's. Meaning can not surf the web while on a phone call unless;
You have 4G LTE signal and you have advanced calling setup in your "my services" and in settings of the note 5.
You will not be able to surf the web and be on the phone if you have 3G, unless you are on wifi This is a little annoying because on the note 3, you can surf the web and use data all you want. We didn't have to have advanced calling 1.0 crap to use it and even on 3g we can still use it without wifi. But hey, price we pay for to use the latest and greatest on Verizon.

Yup, that's Verizon for you. Always finding a way to screw you into paying more money one way or the other, and make you like it too.

I'm pretty positive that isn't Verizon's fault... Negotiated contacts explicitly offer things as options (and in many cases they are $0 no cost options) so the business or government can decide what they want in it.

Makes sense now that you pointed it out. Although I can't figure out why they would deny it. Unless it poses any security threats I am unaware of.

Two thoughts...
It makes it harder for the NSA to snoop... It wouldn't surprise me if it was discouraged on government contracts.
Or their agreement was in place before advanced calling was available and they haven't updated their contact to add it yet (governments move slowly).
