I have an iPhone 5. We switched to Verizon, my bro n dad got the note II n mom got iPhone 4. I love my phone, I'm an apple lover lol. That note was too big for my hands. I'm jus happy to have a new phone after 3 1/2 yrs.
Poll: What type of phone do you have?

My wife and I have iphone 5's, got em first day they released. We switched from android Evo's when our contract expired. I would say they are "satisfactory"....Unless apple has something really awesome up their sleeve in the next two years, I may go back to an android device.....

I've never owned an android. Since the first iPhone, that's all I have so I have nothing to compare it to. I agree that they need to step up their game, I think first move would b to release Siri's programming to the app developers. She's so limited, my brothers note II seems limitless he can tell it to do anything.

I am actually. Upgrade is in June so still trying to decide what to get. Was thinking iPhone 5 only because that's all I've ever used. But I think getting the galaxy s 4 would be a better upgrade since it would be a bit newer. Heard the galaxy is going to be pretty sweet though..

I think that big cheesy smile is hiding the fact that you hate the battery life, though.
Even the official extended battery doesn't help much. I do love the phone though and see no reason to upgrade for at least another year...hopefully.- Thread starter

Actually I was running the stock battery (bought the phone brand new when it came out) until last week and I replaced it with an Anker 2200 mAh battery (stock 1850 mAh) and I've noticed a GREAT improvement!
I'm running AOKP ROM.
This is WAY WAY more than the stock battery I had

How much are you actually using it, though? That isn't much screen on-time at all?
I am running CyanogenMod Nightlies so battery life varies every few days right now. Oddly, I was running Franco Kernel for a while and my battery life was garbage so I went back to CM for my kernel. However, I do miss all the extras from Franco.

I was using it quite a bit. Tapatalk/Facebook/Nasioc (Subaru Forum App)/Google Chat/IHeartRadio (Gym) with Bluetooth
Compared to the stock battery this is a TREMENDOUS improvement for me. I have a wall charger in my laptop bag for when I am traveling to sites and I have a car charger if needed. So I'm not worried.
I love the phone, battery life is WAY better with the new battery so it's a win-win for me

Interesting and good to know. I will have to check it out.
I have chargers and cords everywhere...

This is with the stock battery. Not sure why the screen is only 9% in the other one but 53% on this one.. :shrug:

Now that is more like what I am accustomed to. I really cannot wait for battery tech to catch up to a phone's thirst for power.
It's getting there, my galaxy note 2 (even with a huge screen) will last all day with heavy use, and still have about 30% when I go to bed.
I'm rooted on JediX11 ROM

Yeah I agree. I'm glad I got the aftermarket 2200 mAh battery for my GNex.

Same size. NO difference what so ever.
If you looked at my phone (I have it in a case) you would think it was the stock battery. I am using the stock battery cover.
