To fix common Android problems at different stages, you can follow these steps:

1. **Battery Drain**: Adjust location and brightness settings to prolong battery life.
2. **Frozen and Slow User Interface**: Troubleshoot Google Play Store issues and app crashes.
3. **Software Updates**: Check for major software updates and keep your phone updated for security and bug fixes.
4. **Overheating**: Avoid overheating by managing factors like hot weather, charger compatibility, and internal damage.
5. **Wi-Fi Connectivity**: Troubleshoot common Wi-Fi issues such as slow speeds or connection problems.

Do one thing - find one Single freaking app in entire of Android (or try creating one which can do half of it) which can do what this does - Garageband. Once you are done, start respecting iPhones for what they are.

That was first. Second - can you put a virus in an iPhone?

Third - can you restrict an app on Android from accessing your GPS/Mic/camera etc. without uninstalling it?

Fourth - implement active noise cancellation in non iPhone

Fifth - crash the iphone without breaking it physically.

Sixth - open 80 apps at a time without worrying about the speed of the phone.

Seven - Download applications from Appstore without putting your privacy at stake.

You can be sure that no apps are storing your call details/location logs/Message Logs/Contacts on their servers, because you did not read the "permissions" before downloading.

How to fix ios problems: Buy an android

[BillAndersonNS]

Android 4.1.2 here. I cannot turn off pre-delivered apps like SAMSUNG VIDEO because there is never a TURN OFF button. NEVER. I have an UNINSTALL UPDATES button which only uninstalls . . . updates!

[DDELFIERRO]

1:19 Move apps & photos to an SD card?  I don't think my version of Android supports moving apps to external SD cards anymore.  Unfortunately, one of the biggest reasons I bought my Android tablet vs. an iOS one a couple years ago!

[PKNeoHaseo]

Have nether of those problem.

1. My problem are random screen "blacking-out" while viewing video off Redbox and sometimes on MX player, the screen just turn black while audio still play on the background as while as updating apps or installing apps to my home screen it also sometimes turn my screen black out! until I press the power button to repawn/unlock the screen. This happen a lot on 4.3 after the update and 4.4 KitKat too but on 4.2 I use to get lags/freezing effects after extended uses? Have no idea why it do that since my device have 2GB, clock 2.0 dual CPU x86 an its brand new by the manufacture...but then again I read about on the forum that most of the ppl their also have the problem too :/ which is a 50/50.

We all know not all android devices are great since any cheap vendor can put android is on low spec devices that sux!

I have a an S5 and have no complaints. But someone very new to Android will watch this video and be like "Androids has lots of problems. What else is out there"?

[CodeFesto]

can you make a video about how to fix the problem when an android device goes to silent mode automatically

[mostwantedm]

Most of these you don't have to do. Just like when app killers was a big thing...Android knows how to store an application in the background and automatically close it just like a PC. If you wanted to save battery you would leave the auto brightness because it would only get so bright at the night time. Live wallpapers has never drained battery for me or anyone I know who has used them. App cache cleaner is very unnecessary as well.

Those ways do little to speed up your phone. But thanks to the Lord I got the sure way to keep without struggle your phone fast all the time.

FYI guys: Clean Master does NOT speed up phones, it slows them down. Yes that is true!

[zunedog]

Alternate strategy: downgrade from KitKat.
