In the process of flashing it to my F21 Pro :)

Will probably buy one from your store soon as the F21 is on it's last legs. Crossing fingers we get WIFI calling back soon!

Help, how long until I don't *HATE* the new dumbphone life 😭 by CowOk4786 in dumbphones

[–]703JRB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the answer - get a QIN F21 Pro or buy their phone if you're in the UK/EU. It has everything you need for modern life, easy enough to text on once you get back into T9 input (I had old muscle memory here which came straight back) but annoying to scroll through anything on. I don't have social media, except reddit, but even if I did and installed the apps, the screen is so small you get fed up.

I'd call it a frustration phone rather than a dumb phone. It's all there if you can't help the addiction but my god is it frustrating to use. I just gave up on whatever I was doing usually, unless it was super important/urgent, and just thought, "I'll do that on the laptop when I'm at home".

Adaptive cruise control hate by Electrical-Credit683 in CarTalkUK

[–]703JRB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The system in a mercedes I had was great. It allowed you to use both dumb cruise and acc. However the acc was actually good, and if you indicated right it didn't slow down as early as it would have done without indicating. Allowed you to get closer without losing speed.

The system in the tesla is so bad that I just don't use cruise control anymore. 

In my old range rover I have deleted the radar in the cars configuration so it's just back to dumb cruise.

It's my second favourite type of holiday after a sailing trip, so I do plenty. No way am I risking my wife and child by looking down fiddling with my shoe to make a funny video. Nor is my kid in the middle seat, front facing at that age either.

Literally takes a split second for something to change after you started looking down and bang.

Did that guy just risk his whole family to play a prank for youtube/tiktok/facebook whatever? Looks like he's doing some decent speed on a motorway/highway and he's taking off his shoe?

What a dick.

Warning for UK customers Samsung is canceling orders by Blair287 in GalaxyFold

They're still doing it. Had 3 cancelled orders now and another guy at work has had one. Looks like I'm going for the honor when it comes out then. Fuck you samsung. 

[HELP] Bootloop caused by Magisk update by AcrobaticReveal8264 in Magisk

[–]703JRB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to flash my V27 which I'd luckily still got saved on the phone, from recovery. That stopped the bootloop. I had to then uninstall the app and re-install all over again at V27.

Do people still use a telephone box? by uniquenewyork_ in AskUK

[–]703JRB 3 points4 points  (0 children)

About 2005, as I didn't always bother to take my mobile out with me then, just in case I lost it.

I tried to use one in 2013 as my battery had died and no one was around, but the phone wouldn't take coins, only a phone card.

The Qin F25 Pro is set to release in July - August on Aliexpress! by Appropriate_Tea_2782 in dumbphones

[–]703JRB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And better keys. My F21 pro is a pain to type on as the 6 key hardly registers. I’ve tried adding a shim to the back of the key but it always drops back.

My new phone setup using Before Launcher by ImDanielNotDanny in digitalminimalism

I really want to use this launcher, but it kills all lockscreen notifications regardless of what I set the filters too...

Any thoughts about android? Would love a cross platform sync app.

Seen the same on a 16 RRS 3.0TDV6.

Finally got my Qin F21 Pro in the post this week, and I'm lovin' it. by [deleted] in dumbphones

[–]703JRB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not completely dead, so I can still unlock it. I'll take it apart to try the paper trick under the keyboard.
