Android Phone Major Disadvantages by jaylister(m): 3:48pm On Feb 17, 2015
Yes it true android phone has won the smartphone market in Nigeria and the world as a whole but I say everything with advantage also have disadvantage. Here am going to share to you the major annoying disadvantages of android phones.

Please don’t hate android freaks, am writing this in my own view and out of experience, so please don’t hate, am not trying to discredit your android phone or discredit the companies. Here are the major demerits of android phones.


· Sucks Battery: this is the number one in all demerits of android phones, no one on earth will likely want to use a phone that drains battery in everything you do with the phone; you play 3 sets of games and your battery runs from %95 to %82, this is a huge blow compared to the old nokia phones.

· Android drains data: with my findings I discovered that no other OS sucks data like android OS. Just to open some few apps and your data count would already surpass your budget

· Extremely over heats: android phone over heats as it is also the only OS that heats that much, blackberry do over heat but not compared to android, I think nokia still the best.

· Phone Hangs: android is good at lagging and continuously hanging your phone. Anything you do with phone, phone hangs; whether you are playing game, streaming online videos or browsing your phone gallery.

· Open to Virus: android paid and free apps are in google play store were android users can easily get apps downloaded to their phone. but 90% of the paid and free apps has virus and when downloaded to phone if phone not protected it may likely affect phones performance.

Everything you mentioned there has its remedy and that is the beauty of Android. Full control to fire up your device or take it slow.

You can't compare old Nokia phone with just facility for phone calls and sms to a full flagged smartphone. So Picanto uses less fuel than than Highlander, so you will go for Picanto even if the two are for free.

If you really want your android to run as Nokia old phone then root it, greenify most programs, install a firewall and grant access to only opera mini and WhatsApp, set the network mode to 2g and watch your battery last you 3 days

The dumbest Shii I've read all week!


Now let me prove you wrong.


•Android Drains Battery : Android Os Doesn't drain battery. Your useage does. I have a phone with 2000mAh battery and I can use it heavily (Non-Stop) for 7 hours before battery gets low.. Is it now fair enough?


•Android Drains Data : that's because you're an Heavy user.. If you're a light user that only chats on BBM And Whatsapp , then 10mb Can last for over 48hours (Just chatting)


•Phone Overheats : if your phone overheats , blame it on the manufacturer , not The OS. It could be that the hardware is faulty , but the problem is definitely not from Android Os

android battery truely suck, especially for a heavy user.

· lol, android is fair, check bb10.very cool os but data monster.
· octa core, quad core. these stuff suck ba3 and give some crazy heat, without them android hang on basic stuff.
· lol not that much sha thats why some have 3gb ram even 4gb. wp8 is a god in this aspect though, very fluid!
· not secure at all.some apps cant be trusted.if you care about your privacy and security so much, bb10 is for you.

One word for you... GET A GOOD PHONE, sorry that's not one word.
My about 18months old Note 2 with 2GB Ram, Quad-core 1.6 Ghz, and a massive 3100 mAh battery has never suffered any of the shït you mentioned. I wonder what a Note 3 or a Note 4 would feel like. As for data, SmartPhones are not for everyone. They are meant for those that want real-time updates. The data consumption among Android, Windows and iOS are kinda similar.
Re: Android Phone Major Disadvantages by Collinz2(m): 8:49am On Feb 18, 2015
Op u dnt even use android and yet u know its disadvantage. Go get a good droid and see.

android is data friendly, the data suckin depend on ur network provider, e.g u cant use airtel data on android

This morning, I ordered for a 10 inch Android Tablet to replace my 2 year old 7 inch Tablet. now coming to NL and seeing this thrashy no-sense post I will give the poster the attention he seeking

I will post scrreenshots based on my experience not hearsay or copy and paste. The Best Smartphone experience I love is based on the Android Platform .

Of Battery Endurance

1. My Tablet
2. My Phone
3. On Screen Time on My Tab

Re: Android Phone Major Disadvantages by Randerl: 9:40am On Feb 18, 2015
On Point No 2 The Poster is Still Wrong on Data Usage of Android Platform. Android users in Nigeria and some countries have the best and enviable data usage experience existing on any SmartDevices Platform.

WE can Choose to Design and Program Our Own Data Plans Without Begging Any Regulator Networks or Government.


1. My Date Usage In The Last 24hours
2. Data for One Week

Android drains data: with my findings I discovered that no other OS sucks data like android OS. Just to open some few apps and your data count would already surpass your budget.

Re: Android Phone Major Disadvantages by Randerl: 9:47am On Feb 18, 2015
No lags on my Tablet and Phone in terms of Multitasking, Streaming or Downloads.

Screenshot showing

1. Solid Multitasking. Capability of My Android Devices

2. Youtube Choice of Media Format and Resolution Before Downloads.

3. Running Multiple Downloads Simultaneously.

Phone Hangs: android is good at lagging and continuously hanging your phone. Anything you do with phone, phone hangs; whether you are playing game, streaming online videos or browsing your phone gallery.

Of Overheating Issues, There are three common causes of a feverish phone: poor signal, intense workload and battery charging. There isn't much you can do about a poor signal. Smartphone operating systems are fairly good at keeping renegade software in line, but it's worth checking to see if there are any apps running in the background.



Meanwhile, I will allow iPhone Users to speak of the current Iphone 6 heating experience with one Apple Iphone hardware engineer first.




Extremely over heats: android phone over heats as it is also the only OS that heats that much, blackberry do over heat but not compared to android, I think nokia still the best.







Your iPhone is overheating because the CPU is revved up to 100% even when the screen is off and it’s in your pocket.
-Hardware Engineer


Activities such as:
1. Phone Calls that last around 10 minutes
2. 3G Browsing for 5 - 7 minutes
3. Watching videos for 5 minutes
4. Using apps such as facebook /
instagram etc for 5 - 7 minutes, lead to
my iPhone 5S severely overheating.
---'Iphone 5s User


Why does my new iPhone 6 run hot when
applications is running?
Applications did not run hot on my iPhone 5.
(Example: running "Harmony App from Logitech"
for remotes)
-Iphone User

You're not the only one ! My iPhone 6 gets
burning hot on the sides, just after using
Facebook, so can't imagine using waze or plans.
After looking on the Internet it seems to be a
problem of quite a few people...

I agree with you on weather as one of the factors that can contribute to high battery temperature in some climes especially ours.
