Hello there guys from California...my name is Jaffar....
So I just upgraded from a stone age samsung device. I really wanted to get a smartphone because I wanted to browse the web and download apps, so I picked up the transform. And man, that old school phone didn't give me as much problems in 3 years as this phone is giving me now within a week and half of upgrade(go figure...its really a computer not a phone, anyways). The phone is buggy...sometimes the screen is not responsive..and yesterday I had to reboot it because it became unusable to the point I couldn't even make phone calls!
C'mon, samsung. An 800 mhz processor and 256mb ram I believe should hold up, its not that behind the snapdragon 1 gig processor, this is really frustrating. i barely have anything on there....
When it froze on my arse..i was running launcher pro, yahoo messenger, and skype...and browsing the web...wtf...and whats up with the RAM..whats eating up my RAM? I barely have any RAM available for myself....
Now I understand that with this kind of technology its trail and error for the user. Its like a computer and you have to tweak it a bit and troubleshoot it. Maybe it could be badly coded apps...or anything. Or maybe it was charging at the same time and I was using it heavily and the hardware couldn't take it anymore..it could be anything...but cmon...give me some more speed from a 2010 device..samsung....
So my question is....
Should I stick with the transform for another two years and just try to deal with the hardware that i have ( because any phone will require troubleshooting over the long run), or save myself the trails and what not and get the EPIC 4g which comes with better hardware.....?
Then again I could just go with HTC...
I'm lost...
Thanks guys...
