Switching from Android to iOS

Hello everyone, I'm wondering if you can help me.
I'm part exchanging my GS4 for an iPhone 5c and I'm wondering if I'll have to buy PS Touch for iPhone or just bring my subscription over from Android. It's no big deal but if I can save a few pennies, who am I to look a gift horse in the mouth?
If anyone could answer this question for me I'd be extremely grateful.
Thanks everyone,
Happy new year!

  • The Switch from Android to iPhone

    Hello everyone,
    For about 4,5  years now, I have always been using Android smartphones. I have never regretted buying them and I have always loved them. The main things that made me choose for android were the freedom and customization. I have always been experimenting with different custom ROMs, trying to adjust the way I use my device exactly the way I wanted to. I had never even considered buying an Apple device.
    About a year ago I was looking for a tablet. I went to the store to have a look at the different android tablets. In the store however, I noticed the android tablets not running nearly as smooth as my phones always had. Just for the heck of it I also took a look at the iPads and I was intrigued by how smooth they ran. A lot of internet research and store visits eventually made me choose the iPad mini. I did not only want a smoothly running device, I also wanted to try out a different operating system. Furthermore, I also somehow wanted to reserve the endless customization and messing around with different ROMs for my phone. I wanted the tablet just to run smoothly and work. Apart for a slight image retention problem, my iPad Mini works great and I never regretted buying it despite of my earlier dislike for Apple.
    However, even after buying the iPad, I could still never imagine myself buying an iPhone. Until recently. Allthough I still really like my blazing smooth Galaxy S3, I am kind of losing the interest for constantly changing ROMs and the endless customizability. It was fun having all those options open, lately I have always been looking for ROMs that simpely work properly without any hassle and that run smoothly. The thought of switching to iPhone has crossed my mind several times, but I am still unsure.
    I was wondering if there are any people who have recently made the switch from Android to iOS and how they experienced it? I think I'll like having an iPhone for its simplicity and smoothness, but I am also afraid that I might miss widgets, custom MP3 players, and the freedom to download and open any file or easily send them from my phone.
    How have other ex-android users experienced this switch? What difference did you like most and which android features did you miss (in the beginning)?
    I hope to hear from you :)

    Ok, no widgets and I do miss those occasionally. However, I have other music players on my phone than the built in one. And, I've yet to find a file that I could put on my Android phone and use that I couldn't also put on my iPhone. In both cases, I generally email files to myself.
    Things that I like on Android phones that I can't get on an iPhone: ability to schedule SMSs for a later time, ability to use a different messaging app for SMS, ability to set profiles for settings based on time, location, etc with apps like Tasker.
    On the other hand, my iPhone never crashes (I found custom ROMs to be a nightmare). It integrates beautifully with my iPad and lots of other devices. Siri is, for me, much better than Google's voice features, though that gap is closing. And, as the Apple App Store is more lucrative for developers than the Google Play store, the apps that I want and use, in my opinion, seem to be better. I find the user experience on an iPhone just more pleasant. And, I think you'll find that an iPhone 5S is just as "blazing" as a Galaxy S4... forget the S3!
    Best of luck.

  • Switching from Android

    Hello
    I'm wondering, what would I miss by switching from Android? I do know I'd miss my widgets. But as far as I'm concerned, how well does Google and iOS work together? I'm a heavy user of Google's services (Multiple Gmail accounts, calender, drive, docs, Youtube). Also, how does the App Store compare to the Google Play Store in terms of productivity apps?
    The device I'm intending to buy is an iPad Mini 2.

    I've been a heavy user of Google for years. Part of the reason I've used Gmail, Google Calender, etc for so long is because I have mutiple devices, including one Android phone and they change fairly often (it's a work thing). It all works very well on iOS devices. I prefer the Gmail app to the built in Mail app for access Gmail. 
    The App Store has, in my opinion, a much better selection of apps, especially usable apps. It's a little more expensive to be a developer so you don't get as much complete junk.
    I do recommend that you go to an Apple Store and spend some time playing with the iPad Mini to get a feel for how it works, what it feels like to use.
    Best of luck.

  • IMESSAGE PROBLEM. Switching from android to iphone

    I'm having problems with my iPhone 4s . my carrier is tmobile. I can't receive messages from other iPhones and I'm looking for any suggestions out there to fix this problem for me.

I went to verify my account to the macbook t. See if I can plug it into to that imessage and it will start connecting but it didn't work. Any suggestions?

  • Is there any way to more chats on whatsapp from Android to iOS?

    Hello! Hello!
    I've got a question. I have android phone, and i'm about to buy iPhone soon.I'd like to move my whatsapp chats from android to iOS. I was searching on the website of whatsapp, but there's only information about Android -> Android and iOS -> iOS. I also googled this, and I found one instruction. But it need from me to have Windows. Is there any other way to do this, using OS X?
    Thanks in advance

  • Can't send imessage to someone who has switched from android to iphone, but kept the same number

    Can't send imessage to someone who has switched from android to iphone, but kept the same number

    One thing you can try
    Turn iMessage off on your phone
    Reset your phone - no data loss
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Then activate iMessage and start a new conversation and see what happens

  • Im a long time Android user switching to the iphone 6 plus. What is the experience of the first time iphone users switching from Android

    I had the Gal note 3 then was given a SGS5 for a replace because the Note3 had issues.
    Couldnt stand the screen size so I had to go back to the larger screen.
    I decided to go with the iphone 6 plus.
    So for those who have made the switch from android to apple for the first time what
    has you experience been like.
    I am an ipad user but want to know peoples opinions that have switched phones.
    One thing I dislike and I know you can change it; it seems like google want to
    force you to use chrome which I cannot stand

        Hi zharvey85,
    I truly apologize for your experience at the store. However, we provided the pre order as a way to avoid needing to go to store as inventory availability are subject to change without notice. The pre order secures the device and the other email was for the shipping information. Perhaps you can re order the device online to get the ball rolling for you to get your iPhone 6 plus as desired as opposed to going to the store of which inventory can change depending on the availability.
    Thank you!

  • Device switch from Android 2.2 to BB10

    Hi There, I seek some advice how to switch from a Android 2.2 to BB10. I already searched for some information, and most pages advise, that I should download the device switch app to both devices and the app will perform all steps required. Unfortunately, my Android device has the version 2.2.1. and the device switch app required 2.3 and my device can't be upgraded. Is there any way to transfer data from the android device to the BB10? When I started to use the Android device, it had an app called Transfer Data and it automatically pulled the contactsetc. from my previous device. Is there anything similar for BB10? Thanks, preizer

    hi, normally you can sync your contacts on your bb 10 device with your email accounts. for transferring your contacts to a bb 10 device, sync your android phone with your gmail account first and then sync your bb 10 device with your gmail account. for transferring other stuff like pics, music etc. i think you need to use a pc/mac for bridging. you won't regret switching i used android for a long time and also use ios at the moment. in my opinion, bb 10 is the most advanced mobile os together with sailfish os on the market. but people do not see that and just go for specs of the devices, not performance and security. regards

  • Help, I went from android to iOS

    I had a Samsung Galaxy note (1) with AT&T, I am severely visually impaired and require glasses to read up close, I have SSI and even though I had insurance on my phone (it broke), it still would've cost me $200 (which I don't have just sitting around) to get a new one . So I went for the cheapest option, which was the iPhone 5s for $50 (I am paying my father back, because he bought it for me)...my galaxy note was able to zoom better on the internet and I was actually able to make the Interface and text ACTUALLY bigger, not like the fudge apple is feeding me right now >:(
    I don't want my texts being blurted out loud for everyone to hear all the time...and I don't want my contacts text to be so freaking big that I can only see 1 letter...aside from the dumb double tap zoom feature (which is pointless on a device like this when you've got large hands!!!!) does anyone know how I can legally make the interface on my iPhone 5s just a bit bigger? Any keyboards I can buy or get for free that will make MY keyboard, not some stupid app that makes me copy and paste, bigger!? I CANT TAKE THIS FOR TWO MORE YEARS!!! I CANT STRAIN MY EYE FOR THIS LONG!!!! IT IS THE ONLY WORKING EYE I HAVE LEFT AND I WANT TO KEEP IT, AND MY PRIVACY, JUST A LITTLE WHILE LONGER!!! T n T
    I've used all the features it gives you:
    - Bold keyboard, which I have to say is useless, because my keyboard isn't blooded right now, only in very few apps.
    -High Contrast, which is USELESS if I'm not able to read stuff very well...
    -Dynamic Text, WHICH DOESNT WORK ON ANYTHING BUT MY TEXT MESSAGES AND CONTACTS!!!!!!! I have to get back on my computer if I even wanna think about using Facebook or to read articles!!!
    -Invert colors: I honestly think it's freaking stupid!!! Reason why, is if I have a colored background that is just fine for my eyes (light sensitive) and I have high contrast on, that nice dim background turns into the sun and burns what is left of my retina!! >:( Honestly, I'd find retina display useless on a phone if your physical retina is pretty much burned away due to bright freaking light...I mean, seriously, my left retina is has deteriorated , but the white backgrounds on this phone makes my left eye hurt!! And if I turn down the contrast, it's too dark for me to even attempt to read anything on this electronic piece of paper.
    -Talkback, I don't even want to get started on this...seriously...Talkback is very selective on what you can have it read to you. If I click on a text message, it doesn't even bother to read it!!! It just says, "text field" ***!?!?
    Speak Selection and Speak Auto text: I am completely thrown off by these...I don't even know what they do!!! I turned them on and I never heard anything!! I assumed speak selection would read to you what you had highlighted...nope!! I made sure talkback was on when I used these, and I turned it off, too, just to see if they were standalone things.
    So, thanks, Apple...thank you for making me regret switching from my samsung evergreen (small back-up phone I had. It is also broken. The speakers go off randomly).
    It had a better interface than this...
    I'm hoping I can just get my dad's money back and switch back to my evergreen...
    But, if someone is able to help me, I'd be willing to keep this phone.
    It has a flashlight feature...which I do find pretty cool for when I'm walking at night.

    I chose iPhone 5s, but it clearly choose iPad 2, for me >:/ It took my an hour to type this with my iPhone. My dad typed this reply for me.

  • Switching from Android to Apple

    Hi!
    A little background about myself. I've been using Android for a long time, only experienced iOS on my iPod Touch 2G, which was years ago. I currently use a Nexus 5 as my personal phone and a Samsung Galaxy S3 for my workline. Due to workplace requirements (some apps are only available on iOS), I've been strongly encouraged to get an Apple phone to work more productively. I've read some online articles regarding "switching", but bearing in mind the WWDC just earlier on, I think I could be in for a very very huge "culture shock" if I do get my hands on an iPhone in the next couple of weeks.
    So my question here is: What are the main differences between Android and Apple? Are there any very strong points and any huge drawbacks?
    Thanks for your time!

    Battery life is average for a smartphone. It will last you all day unless you are a very heavy user.
    You will most likely notice no lag as you load more content, however after a few years the hardware will simply be older and slower and you will want to upgrade to a newer phone.
    Messaging works great between other Apple devices and pretty standard between other phones, and with the release of iOS 8 in the fall it will get a lot better.
    Same thing for App synergy. Apps will have a lot more tools for working together in the fall, but now they are relatively isolated and that is for security. There is good synergy between the built in Apps and they work together well.

  • Android to IOS

    I recently swapped from Android to IOS, can i download the app from the app store and not have to pay for it? Its like $4.99 on the  app store but when I first downloaded Photoshop Touch on Android it was $9.99. The $4.99 by itself is definetly worth it but at that point i have paid for the app 3 times!

    No there`s no way you only can pay 3 times.

  • Converting Android to iOS

    Hi,
    I have a Blackberry Z10. When I ordered it online from Amazon it said it had the ability to be converted from Android to iOS. The phone came with Android factory settings. I did some research and I found that you can download a bunch of apps to make the phone LOOK like an iPhone, but I'd rather not download a bunch of apps that will clog up my phone. Instead I want to actually CHANGE the setting on my phone to actually BE an iPhone if that makes any sense. I don't really care about the look, I'm just sick of all these knock off apps and the fact I can't send any emojis or use snapchat. Can anyone tell me how to convert my phone and will that solve the app issue? Thanks!

  • Switching from iOS to Android

    Hello all,
    I unfortunately had my iphone 5 stolen and decided to switched to Android. I love Android more so then Apple, but thats besides the point. The reason for writing this post is for some reason, I can't receive SOME texts from people with iphones. I emphasize some because some come through and others don't. I have changed my apple ID, password and everthing possible in an effort to resolve this problem. I refuse to call apple because they will tell me to sign out of imessage on the device, despite having it stolen. I'm sure there is a way to fix this but after reading hundreds of blogs and forums there hasn't been a clear answer. I refuse to go back to an Apple phone because this is a ridiculous problem.
