And if it just has to have a camera, can't they put the control button somewhere besides exactly where your thumb goes when you pick it up? Almost every time I open it, I have to turn off the camera.
I have to regularly clean Mrs Marvels stoopid smart fone of the hundreds of fotos and videos of her feet....
every few days it wants you to down load a new fricking update...and when you do the dam thing does something contrary .
Yup. can't disable, discard or stop it either. If I keep mine Ima gonna root the android O/S and hack the downloader to let me disable it .
Had to get something, old phone took forever to charge and wouldn't stay that way long. New battery was an option not but the dang thing would shift frequency a bit and sound like poorly tuned side band. Kids think I need to text. Big thing can drop the tablet data and save $50 a month. They tell me I can run tablet off the phone if I need the bigger screen, a learning project for another day.
My old work LG stupid smartfone was almost OK, but it suddenly went insane last October. I went to my Drawer Of Ancient Electroncs
(as opposed to the Box Of Ancient Electronics which has several 2002 Sony Vaio Laptops, the sources of my first FrankenLaptops).
I pilled out my old rubber armered Motorloa PushToTalk fliphone ( which still worked) and low and behold when Verzernone put a new sim in it it connected right up to our plan! I ran with that until January and got on the Xfinity Mobile Engulf And Devour Plan, with a new Galactic Express Bang Zoom really stupid smart phone. Which I am still trying to learn. And which I am trying to castrate.
Amongst the bad parts - it won't tell me I have a voicemail waiting!
The good part - it's a pretty good tiny computer, and I can set it up as an internet portal over the cell connection, and wifi connect the home computers to it, if/when the cable internet goes out. Have to keep it short , tho, so it doesn't eat up the entire plan data allocation. But that easy as long as you just use the web & don't try to stream a movie. And one has to remember to disconnect that.
It's also a pretty darn good hand held gamey thingy. And I can get to CAS City pretty darn well.
yhs
prof gonna root this thing....
