But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

It's HTC's implementation of Android, just because it's Android does not mean it's the same for all OEM's or even devices from the same OEM.  There will be a fix soon, if not just whack cyanogen mod on it.

Shep, What ever device/OS you prefer  :cool:

They all have their ups and downs, my boss has been watching loads of GS2 videos as his replacement 3GS has worse reception in the same places than his last 3GS which packed up and wouldn't power on at all, just after loosing reception. All he wants is a smartphone that has good reception!  :grin: GS2 looks very nice compared to some of the other devices out there!

I posted this because DH reminded me about it and I was going to post it but forgot as I don't have the effected HTC devices.

Im not saying IOS is flawless. I am saying that Android is ported to all types of phones through all types of guises, this means it can not be launched securely and leads to issues on various handsets. This instance is key to my point. A huge gaping flaw in the OS which puts off companies like banks creating apps for it.

Yet most banks just have a website that works well on any mobile device or PC or Laptop.... Hence the real reason for not creating an App... which isn't needed.

In your defensiveness you are missing my point. Android will always be at risk due to the inconsistencies that exist through its selling technique. Putting an OS on phones with huge variations of hardware means it will always have issues.

Gingerbread on one phone is different to Gingerbread on another, coupled with an open market place there will always be problems. Banks are merely an example.

This is not an apple vs android point, its a point that shows android has flaws and will continue to.
