Android 4.0 VS iOS 5 Let You Know Which You Want

iOS 5 and Android 4.0 are now the best two mobile operation systems in the world. Which is better? No one can tell. In this article, I will show you iOS 5 and Android 4.0's advantage and disadvantage together. After reading my article, maybe you will know which one do you want.


After the release of iOS 5 and Android 4.0, people always talk about which is better. It is really difficult to say that iOS 5 is better than Android 4.0 or Android 4.0 is better than iOS 5. Today I will compare the features, advantage, disadvantage, hardware and other features from the two most popular mobile operation systems. I believe that you will know more about them after read my article.

From iOS 4 to iOS 5, we can not find big surprise, instead we can see the perfect in details, such as drop-down menu and other new features borrow from Android. That maybe because iOS is already powerful and perfect. People can not find any big disadvantage on it.


In contrast, Android 4.0 has more improvement than the previous version. We not only see the redesigned interface and many upgrades in details, but also we notice the integration of Android mobile phone and Android Tablet in the brand new Android 4.0. Of course, you can understand this as the integration of Android and this is a good news for developers and hardware producers. However, in today's mobile phone area, all the customers care about the apps more than hardware, a well-developed platform can attract more app developers. This will brings more business to them.


As we talking about above, apps is now more important than hardware and game plays a big role in app. In iOS 5 and Android 4.0, which one provides a better game experience for users? I think iOS 5 is better than Android 4.0 now. The game experience in iOS is absolutely better than Android. This is not only because iOS has its own Game Center, but also because the hardware of the devices. For example, the new iPhone 4s has dual-core Graphics processor, while in Android phones, only Samsung Galaxy nexus is comparable. In Android 4.0, we only find the new 3D driver. Now I can not say how much it can improve the game experience.


In the new iOS 5 and iPhone 4s, Apple's iCloud becomes a highlights. In fact, it is developed from MobileMe service, which aims to keep the consistency of data from different platform. In addition to the new features, such as photos, bookmarks, presentation's sync, it also can sync your apps from iOS 5 to Cloud.


Although Android 4.0 does not provide this kind of service, users can also enjoy the convenient brought by cloud services. Now Android users can update and sync data with multi devices in 24 hours and Android also provides Gmail contact backup and other services.


Though there are many rumors about the NFC in the new generation of iPhone, Apple still choose Bluetooth 4.0 as the way of its data exchange in close distance. While in the Android 4.0, Google brings us Android Beam function. It can help users to share app, webpage, map and video with NFC tech. It is definitely the trends in future.


That is not only because google published its Google Wallet Service, but also many producers from different area add NFC tech to their products, especially Nokia, the biggest mobile phone producer, add NFC as a standard function to their mobile phones. We can see clearly that NFC is becoming the trends in future. So, even though iPhone 4s does not add NFC, Apple will use NFC in their next generation of iPhone for sure, just as the rumor. What is different is that Apple may show his creative and use it to give users a different experience.


I believe that many people may think that in future, except better hardware, what's the future of smart phone. So Apple released its voice assistant service, siri, which is a really creative thing that provides users a totally different experience, and become the focus of the smartphone field.


While, back to the topic, Apple releases siri is under a certain situation that hardware update can not attract users' attention any more. Just like iPhone 4's facetime, Apple always can find the advantage of the design to show their personality. However, after the first few month's fresh, I don't think people will speak to their smart phone on the street.


Voice assistant appear on Android system long before. But due to the limitation on content, voice assistant on Android is far behind iPhone 4s's Siri. Even though Android's voice assistant also has a nice performance. It can help you to make a call, send SMS, open GPS, play music and take a note and so on.


SNS is now play a big role in all the smart phone producers. In this section, both Android and iOS have their own killer. IOS 5 only built-in Twitter and iMessage function can be used after you turn on the iPhone 4s, do not need to register and it can match your friends automatically.


While in Android 4.0, Google releases new function People, it makes the contact as the focus and it integrates Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+ and communication tools and it will support custom third party service in future.


I have to say that multitask gestures is used more and more than before in the two operation systems. For example, in iOS 5 you can turn off an app by folding four fingers and without using the home button. So it is possible to cancel the home button in future.


In conclusion, Android 4.0 has more upgrades and update than iOS 5 and it has more powerful hardware. But the two mobile operation system have their own advantage and disadvantage and different user experience. Users will get their own point of view on them. Just as the saying that Android system tells you what you can do, but iOS do that for you. Here I can tell which one is better than the other one and the competition between Android and iOS will becomes more and more intense for sure. So when you choose smart phone yourself, choose the one you like.

Apple Brings the iOS 5.0.1 Update to Fix iPhone 4S Battery Drain

Yesterday, Apple released iOS 5.0.1, the anticipated update designed to fix multiple unspecified bugs that drained the iPhone’s battery much faster than expected.

The update also patched five security vulnerabilities, including one revealed earlier this week by noted researcher Charlie Miller, who demonstrated that Apple’s App Store code signing could be sidestepped to download malware onto an iPhone without the owner’s knowledge.

This update contains improvements and other bug fixes including:

- Fixes bugs affecting battery life

- Adds Multitasking Gestures for original iPad

- Resolves bugs with Documents in the Cloud

- Improves voice recognition for Australian users using dictation

iOS 5.0.1 was the first update that Apple delivered “over-the-air” — in other words, without requiring users to connect their devices to a Windows PC or Mac, and launching iTunes — a new feature that debuted with iOS 5 in October.

Apple did not spell out the specific battery-related patches, saying only “Fixes bugs affecting battery life” in a short list of the update’s contents.

Apple disclaims eight hours of talk time and six hours of internet use via 3G, with standby time of up to 200 hours.

One buyer claimed his iPhone 4S battery life drains at 15 percent per hour while locked and on standby. Another said battery drained 10 percent in 12 to 15 minutes after using iMessage.

To do an over-the-air update, select the “Settings” app on an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch, then touch “General” and finally “Software Update.”

Problems You May Face When You Are Upgrading to iOS 5

After the availiable of Apple iOS 5, the world has focused on this most advanced mobile operation system again. "error 3200" is the most common problem when users upgrade their iOS to the latest iOS 5. Now, the planet is talking about this. So what kinds of problem you will meet when you upgrade to iOS 5 and how to solve and avoid these problems? This article lists several common problems that you may face when you do that and also I provide some solution.

Problem 1: "error 3200"

Before you upgrade to iOS 5, how to avoid "error 3200", or just try your luck?

Answer: error 3200 may be caused by Apple server. Till now, error 3200 is less than before but still quite a lot people find it occur. The best solution is wait and upgrade when the server's trafic is not that high or just repeat the operation untill you success. I do not recommend you do that unless you need it right away.

Problem 2: iPad 1 and iOS 5

Is there any problem when I am upgrading my iPad first generation to iOS 5?

Answer: When you are upgrading the older devices to the latest system, you need to know that it will slow your devices. As far as I know that the original iPad (2010) is working fine. The little loss in performance brings you more professional Safari and other new features, such as multi-touch, the original iPad does not have this feature.

Problem 3: Wait and See

I have an iPhone 4 and I will upgrade to iOS 5 after a month or longer. At that time Apple will perfect this iOS 5. I have a iPhone 4GS also and after I upgrade the iOS, I just feel it is not better than before. What do you think of this?

Answers: Really nice question. It is always a nice choice to wait the 5.1 or 5.01 to correct the bugs in 5.0 if you do not need the upgrade immediately. Apple software's release processes a long time after the test. They have more than 1million registered developers to test that for Apple, but there still will be bugs. Wait and see can also reduce the traffic of Apple's server.

Problem 4: iCloud

Can I delete the photo from PhotoStream?

Answer: I'm afraid that you can not do that. You can not just delete your photos from PhotoStream. I believe that will be a problem that Apple will focus on, because users are worry about the privacy problem if they can not delete the photos.

Problem 5: Program and Newsstand

The new version's installation is just OK, except that it will delet all the program I installed before. Before the installation, it does notice user about that, but why not just recover the program after the installation. Users have to sync them and rearrange them by themselves. I also notice that the newsstand can not be put in the utility. I do not want to use it and I also do not want to waste my screen room. I think that Apple just wants us to installation their app, so I just put it on the last screen and stay away from me.

Answers: Losing the program after upgrade is one of the most common complain. I do not know the reason neither. It maybe is a kind of potenctial code that can not save the files and program. The only advice I will give you is that rearenge the program on iTune but not your iPhone.

Problem 6: iCloud

My Mac computer can not download Lion, can I use iCloud with iPhone 4 and iPad 2?

Answer: Yes, you can use iCloud with iPhone 4 and iPad 2, but not your Mac computer. When you finish the installation of iOS 5, the welcome page will intrduce you to iCloud app or you can enter setting to start your iCloud. The data will not sync to your Mac computer.

Problem 7: Same ID and same data

My wife and I use the same ID on iTunes and our contact combine together after I upgraded to iOS 5. How can I just seperate them and how to avoid it happen again?

Answer: I think that you use the same ID when you use iTunes and iCloud, so your iPhone combined the contact from different devices. To keep your contact alone, you should set different Apple ID and iCloud ID. You can still use the same ID to log in the Apple Store and you will keep your contact, bookmark and calendar different.

Problem 8: iCloud and other sync program

I used to use Google to sync my calendar. When I use iCloud, what is the different and should I stop using Google first and then to use iCloud? Can I choose my photo, play list and video and so on?

Answer: Google calendar and iCloud can coexist on one device. I use Google to sync work stuff and use iCloud for private. All the picutures from your iPhone will sync to your computer with iCloud if your computer has the same iCloud feature, but not for album. After iTunes Match's release, it can sync all the music from your computer, but iCloud can not do that now. video converter for mac, ipad to computer transfer
