    Re: How much do you hate your smartphone?

    i would never have a smartphone without putting it into a rubber shell like a multimeter.

      I agree with you and I also use a glass protection ;-)

        I do have one major grip with my iPhone 5s. Well, more specifically how so much hinges on iCloud. Problem is, 5GB really isn't a lot and I don't fancy shelling out for more storage, so I'm bombarded with warnings telling me my storage is full... I guess I should just bite the bullet and get more storage!

          Or use iTunes to back your stuff up to a laptop/PC you own.

            I do like and hate my Galaxy S4.
            I like it because it's still a decent phone, despite it being quite old (released back in 2013).
            I hate it because:
            * Only 16 GB storage, only ~ 9GB of which is user accessible and which can't be expanded without using hacks and third party ROMs.
            * no stock Android 6.0 (have to resort to using CM13, which isn't completely stable)

              In my opinion a lot of phones are already too big (though they need to be to be legible)... and adding a case to it just makes it larger. So I don't use cases.

              Plus my slide phone would need a very strange case...

                    That's what happens when you deal with Apple. You have to do it their way.

                      Ain't that the truth. That said, I do prefer iOS, on a personal level. I guess that's why I persevere.

                        Figured i would dig up this necro'd thread because i hate the POS blackberry bold i have to use while i find parts for my Moto G (630+lbs landing on it at -20f finally did in the screen). This thing is useless! i can't use USB tethering so my network has no internet, while any computer connected to the BB has internet (why is it that you use PPP for USB when RNDIS has been standard for around 2 decades? Blackberry? No Wonder you are sinking.) Only half of my contacts imported correctly. Oh, and you can't import from SD card. Why oh why can't i update and manage certificates? No useful tools like SSH/TELNET to be found. I can't even poke around the system, so i might as well not even own the device! Internet radio don't work on it, so no Noise.fm, no repeaters, no echolink, nothing! The browser is damn near useless! God i hate this thing! Want to send a text? OK, but the god damned receiving party's number is converted to blackberries god awful keyboard layout! Northern Colorado's area code is now CZ0! Fuck me! If my N97 didn't have a bad screen i would be using it instead! /rant
                        Things I've fixed: anything from semis to crappy Chinese $2 radios, and now an IoT Dildo....

                            I hated my Samsung smartphone until I meet BCN. I needed to root my device to have more functionalities on my device as I wasn't satisfied with stock features on it.But, I couldn't do it due to device warranty. Fortunately, this app helped me to have more functions on my device without having root access. In my opinion, every device is fine unless manufactures fill it with ridiculous stock apps and ads.

                                  I have two TCL A30 phones.

                                  Old Phone: This phone worked fine for years, then stopped charging If you plugged a charger into it, the phone would make the charging sound, the phone would tell you it is charging, but the battery icon would not have the charging symbol in it and the battery would not charge.I tried new battery, same behavior.

                                  New Phone: Works fine, bought as a donor board to try and repair Old Phone

                                  My interest here is to repair Old Phone, using components parts off New Phone if needed. I am not interested in replacing Old Phone with New Phone....

                                  To you programmers out there I want to know if it is possible to put a new OS on the Sonim XP5s phone? I only need this phone to make calls, receive calls, have a list of contacts and be able to call voice mail.
                                  I bought this phone new Sep.2021 as an unlock phone from a third-party seller. The phone worked fine until Jan 2022. I then had intermittent problems with the sound setting resetting itself. One of the settings, outdoor, would go to silent all by itself. When in silent mode it does not indicate a call has come in. I missed very important phone calls. All the other setting in sound...

                                  A2338 - Pristine condition.. I took out of the board and inspected it.. nothing.. as if the computer is barely used even.

I asked them why they tried to erase it from the first place? They said it turned off randomly once.. then they erased it and it worked out for a few days then it shut off again..

                                  Hi all,
                                  Got this smart phone free from a guy who dropped it hard until the lcd display cracked with no seen display.
                                  Opened it and found the display ribbon cable partly damaged. I charged the phone full in 2 hours time, the led red light turns to green indicate full charge.
                                  Then i use a usb cable connect the phone to laptop but it only showed as media player with firmware version. Too bad there is no option to check folder.

                                  Does anyone know any method to check if the phone is working good? Looking forward for any advice and help possible.
                                  If tested the...

                                  Hi. I need some help troubleshooting the issue (which is a bit odd to my limited experience) with the A2338 Macbook.

                                  Initial symptoms:

                                  One day the laptop refused to wake up (as it seemed at first), spinning the fan on full blast, with no picture on the screen.
                                  Force rebooting didn't help. To check if it boots at all I connected the external display and surprisingly it booted to the system, and I was able to log in to the system.
                                  However, I noticed that it was in some weird state:
                                  • The fan was still blasting at full speed. It's blasting even when the system
