Slightly off topic, but can anyone recommend an android phone that the vendor actually supports properly, isn't chock full of bugs, lasts an entire a day on battery doesn't have some crappy UI on it (like touchwiz) and is built like a Nokia 3310?
I've got a 5 year old Symbian Nokia that is on its last legs and I really don't want to pick a lemon.
Any of the Nexus phones (new ones are coming very soon) are just great. Consistently supported and updated as well.
I doubt you'll find anything built like a 3310 outside of ruggedized phones for construction workers that survive being run over with a bulldozer, and I don't think those are cheap.
Something that doesn't die when I drop it once a day would be good enough (even if it is a 3rd party case for something else).
Oh the things my Android phone didn't do when calling or receiving a call... it rebooted, froze, missed calls because UI was unresponsive for 2 minutes and you couldn't answer the call...
My iPhone has the same problem :(
I have a Galaxy Nexus and have never had this issue.
My Galaxy Nexus reboots during phone calls about 3 times per month. When it happens, it will usually happen 2-3 times in a row, so it seems to be tickled by something environmental like a network problem.
Interesting that nearly all the affected phones seem to have been purchased and used in either Germany or Italy---that may point to a problem with a particular production run. (Also interesting, though unsurprising, that Google has not weighed in on this month-old thread.)
why is this unsurprising? (isn't Google usually pretty responsive?)
I had this same problem with my Galaxy Nexus. My sim card was really old and after the change and 4.0.4 update now it works great.
