Simple: unlike IOS and Android, these platform doesn't have enough developers producing application for it. In that way, window phone lack applications. So people prefer to use phones they get a handful of apps.

I.m a window phone user, I started using windows phone right from Lumia 520 when the phone was newly launched , then I upgraded to Lumia 720 (my best camera phone)now I.m currently using Lumia 640xl.

When my friends sees me with windows phone, they will start yabbing me that I dey try oooo dey use that kind phone, say they can't use it even if na dash.
Not that I.m worried about the yabbing because I really enjoyed using windows phone based on the fact that the battery last long, the camera quality is superp and it does not consume data like android phones and so many other reasons.


But my question is..........

Why do people hate windows phones?

The windows ecosystem is not popular. Possibly that ecosystem might pick up in the future. The beauty of smartphones are developers support.
Windows phones manages resources better, but the experience cannot be compared.

Bro that's a very big lie, Windows Phone has an in-bulit threat scanner, no virus can enter ur phone. The phone will delete it before it even enters. Everything u download or send is scanned.

Because in comparison to Android phones and IOS the windows phone has way more restrictions and limitations, from your above comment, it would appear you don't do much with your phone, that's the only reason you are OK with your lumia, me for instance (my type for instance), I do a lot of programming and designing on my phone, I like tweaking and customising my phone to get the best out of it, I use advance applications and when I want to pay a game, I want a hardcore game that has great graphics. We basically use phones that have freedom to do anything and everything!

But with the lumia I can't brag of being allowed to do those things, from the limitations on tweaking and customization, to the less addictive games & applications that can't be compared to that of Android and IOS, to the lack of devoted developers for its platform and finally its lack of advance functionality and features. Lumia is simply not a phone for advance phone users, it's for the "make calls/text, take pictures/videos, do a little internet surfing/chat and enjoy a long boring battery life" kind of users. Yea I would rather use a low tech Android phone than a high tech lumia phone, why? Because a lumia phone has the tech but doesn't utilise it! While an Android phone will utilise every bit of that low tech it has!

You have to be on our side of the fence to understand why we don't do windows phones grin


Bro please give me some tweaking app names I can use to tweak my Galaxy J5

Bro please give me some tweaking app names I can use to tweak my Galaxy J5

First you need to root your phone, before you can use any of these apps, so be sure to do that.

Then after rooting your phone install Xposed Framework, this will act as the skeleton to the tweaking apps i.e the apps need Xposed framework for them to function properly.

Lucky Patcher (for patching, unlocking paid apps and so much more)

Gravity Box ( for full tweaking and customization )

Wanam Xposed (also for twerking and customization )

Blackmat (get paid apps for free) [doesn't need Xposed or root to work]

There are more tweaking apps in xposed modules repository, just open xposed and go through the download repository, a lot of them there!

Most of these folks don't know jack about windows phone, been using windows phone since Lumia 520. It was really disappointing in the beginning but the os has been gradually picking up with every update. I use a windows version of HTC m8 running on windows 10 and believe me, everyone that gets a go at it are always impressed. I guess folks are just too used to android to give windows a try. The downside of windows phone for me is they don't get new apps and updates as early as other platforms. Who says instagram and twitter are shitty on windows phone, it's possible you are still on windows 7 or 8 shii

Market share or not, it's still got a better market share than BB.

Now, Windows phone is great. I have IOS, android and Windows powered phones, amongst all, I still rate the windows phone higher than android. Is it battery life, charging, or security. After IOS, Windows is better than android in terms of security and when phone is in use or being charged, it never gets hot unlike android powered phone. Answer a call for more than 5 mins and you'll feel the heat.
I just upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10, and I must tell you, it's a great OS, window 10 is massive. If you can use Windows 10 powered laptop why condemn a phone that is also powered by Windows 10. Whatever you could do on your laptop, ditto your Windows phone.
With Windows phone, 1GRAM is 1GRAM, some android powered phone will only literally be labeled 3GRAm, but doesn't even have the speed of a 1GRAM phone.

I used a 640XL and it's cool. Try and upgrade your Lumia 640XL and you'll get a feel of power & security. If you can afford the latest Lumia 950, which runs a 3GRAM processor, then you'll know what Lumia is in terms of power.

Cheers bro, don't let anyone make you feel bad because they use popular OS, what I care about iOS Security of my phone and data.

U can't just ship shitty phones itel produce into the USA... They have regulatory agencies like ICC. If itel wants to sell their phones in the USA they can, they just have to make quality phones. Take a look at ZTE and Hauwei. They use to make shitty phones and couldn't break into the US market, but do u know ZTE axion 7 is one of the best $400 phones u can get right now. With qhd display, beautiful metal unibody, 4gb of ram, stereo front facing speakers, USB c, snapdragon 820, etc. The phone is now sold in the USA and other advanced countries. Same thing with Hauwei, Alcatel, etc. So if tecno, itel and infinix can up their games they will sell their phones in the US market.
