Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Biggest complaints with smart phones ???

OK, everybody is crazy for their smart phone. And everybody has their favorite. What I want to know is what is your biggest complaint with your current phone?

Thanks, RS

Battery life iPhone 6

Another note on the iPhone 6 series...Until you get a case for it, the damn thing is like trying to hold onto a greased ice cube; very slippery. But a case, which I would have put on it anyhow, solved that problem.

I am not smart enough for a smart phone, don't need one anyway.

Ties me to work 24x7 with emails and texts. True for any freaking smartphone...

Give me back the days when they actually had to CALL me and that was reserved for emergencies.

not smart

nobody every accused me of being smart

iPhone 6 battery is certainly an issue.......must be charged almost daily if you use the "smart phone" capabilities at all.

Other minuses are merely an affirmation of what I had suspected when I purchased. A smart phone is not a satisfactory replacement for your computer Internet connection. I'm on the Net a lot, and I will never become a "smart phone" power user. I just can't get close to this interface. At age 68 and retired........my world is a mouse, a keyboard, and a huge flat screen.

I personally find the iPhone at best a workable convenience for those times I'm away from my workstation. Online App for registering game in Wisconsin is easier than calling in by phone.

THIS! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Battery life, of the last two smart phones.

My fingers are not touch screen friendly... a ban to smart phones and my GPS rover at work,,,,,,

if the GPS is turned off, Samsung batteries will last 3 days.

Yea, if you turn off the options which make it a smart phone then the batteries will last days. Turn them on and the battery will last maybe 35 hours.

All that I need:

none, thank god for them.

The addition of my iPhone has been both a curse and a blessing. My job is greatly simplified but I'm always accessible as long as I'm in town.

People are obsessed with them and spend far to much time looking at their phone than the world around them or people who are trying to talk to them. That's my only complaint.

This, with my iPhone 6. More than pleased.

I just got my first smart phone, an I Phone Six, about an hour ago.

I only got it because my new Hearing Aids are designed for that model.

I have a laptop and hot spot so don't intend to use it for anything other than a phone.

If I could have used my old flip phone, I'd a stayed with it.

Best thing about them when hunting (if you have a cell signal) is the map and gps function. Can pinpoint where you are at and pull up the aerial pic in google maps.

Gotta think these things have really cut into the handheld gps sales, and I know it has killed camera sales.

Siri is a mean bitch. Don't ask her what zero minus zero is.
