Re: [apple-iphone] GPS

So an Android phones OS runs faster. How do you make the leap to how this affects reception and speed of finding a new signal.

OS speed has nothing to do with radio reception. I would think that antenna configuration would have more to do with it. See my prior post about reception capabilities between a StarTac and a Kyocera.

I am interested too. The iphones do run more smoothly than Android devices as they use a custom SoC. To help smoother operation, Android devices tend to run faster CPU/GPU (higher clock speed) and often more cores. This would appear to support the advice given.

Bob,

Ok, I'm open minded and would like very much to hear your explaination, on why this would happen?

It surely wasn't because the sales person was a fan of Samsung products, because she has an iPhone 5.

What other explaination is there that would make sense? My partner has cell and data service, I DO NOT have neither and we ae sitting right next to each other.. I turn my iPhone off then back on and wala I immediately have both cell and data service. Each time that I had no service and my partner did, turning off my phone then back on, immediately restored my service.

My iPhone works just fine when out and about around town. And on short trips out of town. And I have no problems connecting to home wifi or businesses wifi when out and about.

Hmmm, I'm listening.
