8 things you lose if you go from Android to Windows Phone – MovilZona.es

There is no more critical time in the life of a Geek when on the horizon a change of platform and operating system on your smartphone, which means that, yes or yes, begin to fear that many of the tasks that performs nearly unperturbed affected. Imagine for a moment that you pass Windows Phone to Android.

Although many people are everyday You use Windows Phone and its evolution in the recent years has been really spectacular, not to deny that still walk away than is possible with an Android device. Especially when peeked his head to the Google Play Store and see the enormity of options we have in our hand to perform the task, via application we want.

That’s why it never hurts do a ‘reverse list’. That is, instead of listing the obvious advantages to upgrade to such a popular mobile operating system like Google, why not reflect those things that get lost in transit from one to another and also have value? So sure you check out if you have Windows Phone on your phone and you want to go to Android, these are the things you miss.

Applications ‘officially unofficial’

shortages applications is a direct result of the lower popularity of Windows Phone with respect to Android, but no you will live without doing many of the most popular tasks that have to do (almost always) with social networks and the like. For example, SnapChat has no official application but there are developed by the community, is infinitely better. Same goes with Instagram.

Tuning

id=”result_box” class=”hps”> Windows Phone allows you to change few things but which affect how the operating system is that you end up missing it when you land on Android. With just replace two or three colors, the look of the mobile is completely transformed and it seems to have in hand a different device. This, in Google OS is possible, but at the cost of making root, install specific ROMs, etc..

id=”result_box” The Battery Saver” too lose on your way to Android and is very useful when you can not connect it to a charger. With it, Windows Phone off some services and, especially, dramatically reduces background tasks, leaving SMS alert applications or phone calls. Furthermore, since the arrival of Windows Phone 8.1 this option has further improved , coming to let us choose which services or applications ‘silenced’ when we want to extend the range of our terminal.

This, as you know, Android is very complicated and although there are applications that do similar things, actually quite often more traumatic and radicals. Hopefully Android L change things completely in this regard.

Volume Controls

Android, on mobile and with AOSP installation, let alone raise or lower the volume of applications we have right now in operation in the foreground. But in Windows Phone that is not so and is much simpler because it leaves us to calibrate the different ‘layers’ of audio it up. Systems, music, application, etc.

Softness in its menus

It is clear that in this section relies heavily on smartphone Android but it is not exactly an example of fluidity in their menus , especially when we pick on models that are very powerful and have huge layers of ‘personalization’ (the manufacturer) to endure.

This does not happen in Windows Phone and will be one of the elements that you will notice just landed in the system Operating from Google. Of course, if you have ‘homesickness’ that quickly, do not despair, you can always go to a mobile store and ask a Nokia Lumia teach you to feel again that quickly.



physical buttons to access Camera

Android tends to have a shortcut on the lock screen even though we save something time, no comparison with the physical button that usually carry Windows Phone and allowing them, even when locked, enter the camera almost instantly. This allows us to take the time just to grasp and that deserves a passing Number Instant posterity.

That button ‘hardware’ is one of those things that nobody understands why not extend why not become part of the essential elements that should adorn a smartphone. Especially the top end you have the best cameras on the market in quality and MP.



Multitasking

are surely to a matter of taste, but is much more illustrative and useful view full screen (thumbnail) leave open how this or that app , a simple cutout square where only see what we were doing.

In addition, this Android ‘multitasking’ is sometimes confusing because we do not know if it is a list of recently opened applications or really see a way to resume a process that had left half. In Windows Phone, definitely, everything is much clearer.



consistent application List

There is nothing insane in the Android application drawer crowd where all we have installed on the smartphone. Often has no criteria beyond the organizational order of arrival to our device , so you look for is almost mission impossible. Some models let us reorganize but most do not.

Windows Phone In that menu is clear, simple and has the logic of having the applications in alphabetical order. From A to Z. In this way everything is at hand in Android.
