WMP sux bawlz. Just my opinion.

VLC is a godsend!

I use VLC on my phone and computer, but as with everything else on a cell phone, it magically stops, starts and does other explainable shit just like everything else I try does. It just does it a lot less than everything else. How do you take an OS that can go for years without a reboot and turn it into a steaming pile of restart-every-7-days shit, and have apps acting like that?

The PC version in my opinion is vastly superior. I can't praise it enough! I did encounter some bugs in the Android version, but was able to find ways around them after a little bit of fiddling. I guess it may be a budget issue, I don't know. It's free after all!

What phone are you using?

I got tired of having my Galaxy S 4/5/6/7/8 be destroyed in only 4 to 6 months, so I just bought a cheap ass Galaxy J3, I think it is, and it's lasted me almost a year. Slow as ****, but the case actually protects it for once.

It's not the specific model, it's the android distribution of Linux, and the fact that they've screwed up something on it with the apps randomly starting (my phone) and stopping (my girlfriend's phone).

Late weigh in on this, but the S5 Active is durable af. I have had to get screens replaced on my work phone and the dude at the shop said that since the s5 active was released he has only replaced 5 screens. I live in a city of about 1.5 million.
