Day 26

Call Waiting
My wife's iPhone 4s is not displaying calls on call waiting or giving an option to answer.  Did some searching on the Verizon website and this is apparently a known issue.  "Reset Network Settings" resolved the issue.  Had to do this twice in two days - today to fix the wife's iPhone "Call Waiting" issue and yesterday to fix my daughter's iMessage issues.

Widgets
Ahh yes another thing I surely did miss not having on iPhone were screen widgets.  Maybe IOS 8 will have screen widgets.

Battery Drain
My Galaxy S3 was draining it's battery in under 12 hours.  When I looked at the biggest offender if was Exchange Services - damn Microsoft crap.  Well a factory reset resolved the issue.  Not sure why all smartphones seem to have issues that require a factory reset to fix.

Day 6

Battery Life

So today was a pretty typical phone usage day.  Battery is at about 41% currently as I type this on my phone.  Fully charged at 100% 13 hours ago.  Can't complain about that.

Day 5

Battery
Removable vs. Fixed?  This used to be a big issue for me and years ago I even used to carry a spare battery but with my last phone "Galaxy S3" I do not have a spare battery and don't feel a need for one. Bottom line as long as I make it though the day and I still have battery life I'm OK.  This ain't a biggie for me and honestly I don't know what lasts longer the 4s or the S3 as long as it lasts the day.

iTunes
Not a big lover of this app.  It's no accident that the sole purpose of iTunes is to keep you in the iTunes Store to spend money because they make it so damn difficult to do anything else.  I wanted to install a custom ringtone which on the Android was a simple as connecting my phone to my computer via USB and dragging the .mp3 in to the proper folder.  On iPhone (unless I missed something obvious) I have to take the .mp3 and drop it onto iTunes, then select the .mp3 and convert to ACC, then save the .m43 file back to my desktop, rename it to .m4r, copy it back to iTunes, then sync the phone.  WTF!  Maybe this process is easier on a Mac -- I'm using Win7 :-(

iTunes (cont)
I hate iTunes so much that I use Winamp to sync all my music between my iPhone & iPod.  With Winamp it's as easy as drag & drop.
