This phone is awesome. It is the first cell phone I've used with the clarity to actually be able to CLEARLY understand the person I'm speaking with. The camera is another vast improvement. Overall I'm very satisfied with my new phone.
The phone has a lot of issues that I find hard to deal with. First let me start by saying all my previous phones were WIndows phones and I guess I was used to a lot better OS than Android. One major problem is battery life, the phone seems to have problems with background apps killing battery, even when they are turn off. Right now as I am typing this, the phone has been in the off position with no background apps running and has lost 5% of battery life? My Windows phone used to last the entire day, this phone is on charge by lunch or before depending on how busy I am that day. A second big problem is voice comands with SYNC in my F150. The phone doesn't announce who is the incoming call, you can't voice text person from remote. You have to use Google to accomplish this and so the phone is never truly hands free from the factory. I haven't figured out a way to change the volume for the alarms and make it different than incoming calls. The Text notification system is spotty at best, sometimes it does, sometimes it don't. I find myself constantly looking down to see if text has come in because I don't trust the notification process. The phone lacks a lot of capabilities that my window phone did right out of the box. I find that you have to download an app to make anything on this phone work at all. After 10 days of using the phone I am taking it back to ATT for something else.
