I grant you, there could be some kind of transparent placeholder or something, for you to insert, but I doubt it's a high priority. If you do away with the gravity thing altogether the whole icon arrangement process becomes less elegant and requires more interaction. Think about it.
Transparent placeholders? U r joking, right? Less elegant? More interaction? I am thinking about it. But what are you thinking about? If I place an icon on android home screen and press it, guess what happens? App opens. Just like it's on iOS. So how come that requires more interaction?
Again, you're not thinking this through. Putting a few icons at the bottom of each screen and using more screens instead will not make things quicker or give you more direct access, the opposite is true.
Actually, it will make things easier. If I use just 8 apps, I don't need to search or look at the home screen on Android. They are always placed the same. So I can just tap. If I put 12 more apps there, well, things get clunky rather fast. Just look at iOS home screen for example
I doubt that, but why don't you just describe the quicker and more direct way of calling contacts, instead of huffing and puffing about it?
As I said, you obviously haven't used anything besides iOS. And that is a shame. Try it out on a friends phone, then we can talk. But to describe it, lets say you have 50 John names in your contacts. All have different last name. On android smart dial I can just type first two letters of John -> 'Jo', then first letter of his last name, let's say it is Smith. So I just type in JoS. Press the name, phone call begins.
Here is the example of one app with smart dial on play store:
But default google app is way better, simpler, and faster. Just couldn't find any videos about it.
That's the process of getting ringtones onto the phone. You said "all I want is simple ways to set some ringtones, and simple stuff like that." So, how do you do that? How do you set a ringtone for a contact? Are you going to tell me that, or is going to be more huffing and puffing?
Yes indeed. That is the process of getting ringtones onto a phone. And that is what I said. So, could you please answer my simple question? I will repeat it. How to you get custom ringtones onto iPhone? I want for you to explain how to get a custom ringtone, and set it as a default ringtone.
I'm not talking about contact specific ringtones. Those are easy on iOS as they are on Android. So please, no more of patronising if you want to have a decent discussion (huffing and puffing). Otherwise, I will just greet you and be on my way, since I really don't care for those kind of 'discussions'
I've already described how to set custom custom ringtones. As for obtaining them – I've never downloaded (let alone bought) a ringtone, but I've made plenty of my own. I used GarageBand for that, which allows me to get the volume, dynamic range and looping right. It saves the result straight as a ringtone to iTunes. Now, I haven't made ringtones in years, so I'm not sure what people use these days. My phone doesn't ring anymore, ever since getting the Apple Watch in April '15 it has been on silent
Actually, you still haven't described how to set custom ringtones. Garageband? Apple Watch? How about an answer to a rather simple question? I'm asking nicely. But you can avoid an answer once again, it wouldn't surprise me at all
As it stands, in this thread, they're not clear, and you're making no effort to enlighten me. All I see is a lot of hand-waving about nothing.
Of course all you see is hand-waving, since you patronise, and don't even try to read what anyone else writes. But the biggest problem you have is that you have no experience with any other device other then iPhone. That is ok, if iPhone works for you, and you are satisfied -> great. But then, don't try to be smart about stuff you really know nothing about
I disagree, and would humbly suggest that if you look at your home screen a lot you're not using your devices right (or at least not the way they were intended). I spend very little time looking at the home screen of my Mac, I look at apps. Most of them are in full-screen, just like in iOS
So now I'm using my device wrong? Or was it holding it wrong?
