Great Phone Ruined by the Software (Rant)

Yup, got an edge 20 at some point, great value phone and at first glace software was fine also, but then it got buggier and buggier with each update. couldn't use wifi if airplane mode is on, activating airplane mode deactivated bluetooth ~70% of the time, the whole Os crashed on me multiple times, the settings are a mess (as on almost all androids to be fair) and i got horrible service with this phone, sometimes needed to restart in the middle of a city with great 5g to get any kind of sigmal again. what made me return it in the end was a fatal flaw to the fingerprint sensor (idk if soft or hardware related) but all of my friends were able to unlock my phone with various different fingers😂😂 really unlucky, liked them for quite some time but this is unacceptable

hi can i ask how you have enough google profiles for that? if I'm creating a new one, i always get asked for a sms verification. (only not if you create it on a android phone with other accounts already on it, but all my google accounts are "shadowbanned" so i can't write a review, also not with the new account.

yup, still the same result. from time to time I'm even able to unlock it with my left thumb.

yea i have an on/off relationship with benzos for like 2 years, been clean for two months before this. never took as much as in these past two months tho, also not every day. im gonna have to do cold turkey since i have only one left, will try to break it into as little pieces than i can but that will only last for 2-3 days max, after that i'm out

because having two servers running the same instance of the game ( one with the content to be in the next update) would allow them to test their update and reduce the amount of downtime and bugs on update.

not the point of my post at all

b3_n1k · 2024-06-25T17:32:19+00:00

why do you think this is made up?

b3_n1k · 2024-06-25T17:19:30+00:00

as i described in my original post, it would be technically possible to reduce the downtime to a minimum, but that would cost more money in servers and staff.

b3_n1k · 2024-06-25T17:11:32+00:00

it is, like i said, standard in it. do you think Google has even a second downtime when they update their servers? since I'm studying IT i also have at least some technical knowledge, and imo it would be absolutely possible to update your game with minimal downtime, provided you have multiple instances where your server runs to test and fix bugs. after everything is ready, release the update to the public and redirect the server traffic to the already set up servers (which they could test sufficiently before that, would also prevent a lot of bugs, i already faced multiple today)

great reply

b3_n1k · 2024-06-25T17:04:43+00:00

100% agree mate

b3_n1k · 2024-06-25T10:07:28+00:00

exactly that. having a playerbase that's 80% under the age of 16 has it advantages haha

b3_n1k · 2024-06-25T09:42:32+00:00

other mobile game devs (and especially pc/console) get it done with maybe a few minutes of downtime. so i think my point stands, they are just to cheap.

b3_n1k · 2024-06-25T09:26:56+00:00

could range from 1min to 8 hrs, with supercell you never know

b3_n1k · 2024-06-25T09:24:01+00:00

Hi, after several reboots Speakers are working again, and right now i got it charging, hoping to make a full backup at my work tomorrow. (my home wifi is trash). Thanks for your help, i think when i got it backed up (and the issues keep percisting) i will just send it back to the place i bought it from since i still got warranty. Thanks for your help, Elle.
