I like Android phones, I have an Android phone, a Samsung Repp prepaid but still, an Android. And I'm about ready to run the damn thing over with my truck then shoot it. I'm so sick of every time I'm connected to my WIFI when I actually go to use the WIFI it drops connection, my network isn't dropping, it's the farking phone. And I'm sick of every other time I turn on WIFI it shows "Error" and I have to restart the damn phone to get WIFI on.

I swear if the Samsung Galaxy S3 I'm getting does this **** I'm buying a god damn Windows Phone. Fark APPLE.

End rant.

Here's a fact: Android uses the Linux kernel.

Right now my phone runs BrewMP, nice, but lacking a lot of features. Next phone I get is gonna be a Samsung Galaxy S3 or Nexus Five.

Stewie01: Beware of custom carrier firmware as well. I had tons of problems on a HTC Merge, with US Cellular's firmware. Flashed it with Verizon firmware, no problems. Why? Verizon left most of the code untouched.

However last time it switched to text mode and gave me some error bs but was still froze, here's an example:

Kernel Panic - not syncing - fatal exception in Interrupt
Pid - 0, comm: swapper/0 Tainted
G D 3.2.0-37 generic #58 Ubuntu


and about 20 lines more of random crap then

1609.687879 - panic occurred, switching to text console.


And yes I know Android is basically Linux.

And I'm using U.S Cellular.

The Repp is a rebranded Gio. from what I've briefly read you maybe able to get Android ice Cream Sandwich on it.

Caveat- It will void the warranty if you leave it that way. But what's life without taking a few chances? :-)
