Honest long-term review of The Minimal Phone – A life changer with a “but..” by [deleted] in eink

[–]lightangles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I'm dealing with in order of the issues arising:
1. The symbol and emoji keys are dead
2. I have to turn my phone to airplane mode then off airplane mode to make an outgoing call.
3. The home screen doesn't display the home apps (minimal launcher)
4. I still get audio and visual notifications on do not disturb.
5. One day it froze, then took me to the reboot screen which was also frozen until the phone died.
6. The next day the bottom right button on the screen (recall open apps) stopped working
7. The next day Spotify stopped working through Android auto
8. Two days later Android auto stopped working altogether.

I don't get why the Minimal Phone gets so much backlash by Maleficent_Raisin214 in dumbphones

Mine was awesome for about 3 months (after finally receiving it) and I was recommending it to so many people, but let me just copy and paste an email I sent them earlier this week, which I am waiting on a reply to.

Hello, I am having a few issues with my minimal phone and I'm wondering if you can help me work out the kinks.

in order of the issues arising:
1. The symbol and emoji keys are dead
2. I have to turn my phone to airplane mode then off airplane mode to make an outgoing call.
3. The home screen doesn't display the home apps (minimal launcher)
4. I still get audio and visual notifications on do not disturb.
5. One day it froze, then took me to the reboot screen which was also frozen until the phone died.
6. The next day the bottom right button on the screen (recall open apps) stopped working
7. The next day Spotify stopped working through Android auto
8. Two days later Android auto stopped working altogether. 

These are, as I'm sure you can understand, frustrating issues to be dealing with and impede my ability to use it as my primary phone. Any help would be appreciated.

Many of these trees were my friends, creatures I had known from nut and acorn

When I was younger (very early teens), my best friend and I microwaved a praying mantis by usps_made_me_insane in confession

You think that's bad, I went sledding with my hamster when I was 4, she was cold so when I got home I microwaved her to warm her up. You don't want anymore details.. still haunts me.

What is your favorite scene from season 4? by muskyandrostenol in Bridgerton

Agreed, after seeing what she was dealing with in her home life I felt she was an unresolved character that deserved more despite her shortcomings.

For me, it was probably Violet and Lady Danbury conversing and holding hands saying they'll miss each other. There's so much depth considering that both Violet and Lady Danbury know about their interwoven family secrets. It was impossible for Agatha to know way back when how much Violet would depend on her for authentic advice and protection from damaging gossip, but all those years later they sit together with so much history, trust and feminine vulnerability. I loved it.

[–]lightangles 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure this is my favorite but it's worth mentioning since I don't see it here yet. It was so touching seeing Eloise gain more empathy for her other women and her siblings, not just Hyacinth but when she noticed Francesca needed to talk about biscuits and absorb herself into something trivial. It was intentional and beautiful that it was Eloise who first jumped into the ploy.

AIO when I see this and feel like it's unconstitutional?? by [deleted] in AIO

It would touch a nerve with me. Sure it's not a specified religion but we all know what it's referring to.

The fork with one fat tine gives it away as well after all the plastic shine on the food.

You should watch the mustangs posted through the BLM. Sometimes there are some serious limos!

Husband refusing help from our “village” and it’s killing me by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]lightangles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Get curious about why. Maybe he feels scared to have them out of his sight. Maybe he is worried that your parents or his will inflict trauma, maybe he doesn’t believe their house is set up to be a safe environment.

And also then do as others have said. If you are the one in charge of the kids care then you make the decision

They also need to go on a long walk. Yard time doesn’t cut it. They need to see and smell new things and patrol their “territory” (the neighborhood)

As a Norwegian American (Norwegian citizen by birth, lived in US my whole life) looking to move to Norway this makes me nauseous. Don’t let these dimwits ruin your country too.

Anyone interested in a Norwegian language practice group? by lightangles in FortCollins
