Mobile Internet, Skype, Messenger and Life

[Dizeee]

I am sick to fking death of nothing working. Why release software and hardware onto the market that simply is not ready to be released yet by virtue of constant failings and failures to work.

Skype. I have spent / wasted a great deal of time trying to Skype my wife from work over the past year. Logging in, circle circle circle, unable to log in, logging in, unable to log in. Eventually when you have logged in, you then try and call someone. Rings and rings and rings and rings your end, doesn't do anything the other end. Other end calls you and it rings and rings and rings their end, nothing happens your end. Rinse and repeat and that is the experience. Maybe one in ten times you may get it to work, otherwise, just problems. And before anyone asks this is from multiple London locations to a plugged in desktop. It has worked a couple of times successfully, yet despite nothing changing, the majority of times, it just fails for any number of reasons. I am persistant and usually when it has worked, it has been on the back of countless attempts over time periods of 10 to 20 minutes. fking useless, waste of time.

Facebook messenger. Exactly the same, but worse. Rings and rings one end, nothing the other, same vice versa. Then it says one end that the other caller doesn't have video calling capability, but at the other end it say's the same thing. Both callers have the video switched on and operating as normal at the time of making the call. Sometimes it connects then instantly disconnects, saying " reconnecting" over and over and over again, without actually doing so. fking useless, waste of time.

Mobile internet. Works fine for hours, then stops working. Internet connection unavailable. ( Despite having full bars and full 4G coverage and not having moved position). Continued trying gets you nowhere until you either remove the phone battery or put it into and out of flight mode. This seems to "shock" the system back into working. Had all this on an old HTC phone in 2013, thought it was the phone, nope, 6 phones later and they all do it. fking useless, waste of time.

I'm done with it all.

Im not using work internet its just 3g or 4g. Because it has worked and therefore I know it can work it makes it si frustrating when it continually doesnt

In my experience with Android and Apple in the family, Apple just works . . . Android often crashes or just doesn't do what it's supposed to. There's a world of difference.

If I could have a penny for every time I have heard this.

Maybe the issue is just me!

Possibly. I am with Orange and have been for years so know no different.
