Phone company may be able to trace your phone location, if the battery isn't dead.

Looks like you're SOL with ph company. I lost a phone several years ago and used this strategy and was told they can't locate it without it being active. Maybe you'll find it. Good luck.

I think I might be able to track it if it (a) gets charged, and (b) gets connected to a WiFi network. Of course, someone would have to wipe it in order to use it, so it might all be for naught.

When I left my phone in an Uber I went to the website to report it but it required authentication from my phone to log in. Made me lol.

So next I contacted 'clams via Xbox and he negotiated the return from the next passenger who was pakked af and took it.

Prob just result in a spirited effort fizzling out before success.

Need a new iPhone. How long until having 5g is important? I’m not looking to break the bank. Prob just gonna grab a refurbished X or something. Still rocking a 7, but she is on her last legs.

On the plus side, my new phone is allegedly 5g. Pulling nearly 300 mbps d/l at the moment, and I usually get crappy reception at my place.

I wish phones weren't so big. I went from a Pixel 2 to a Pixel 3a a few months ago and the 3a hurt my hand when I got it.

Been watching Weeds and having flip phone / small phone envy.

Trim · « **Reply #3564 on:** August 07, 2020, 01:11:27 PM »

I just ordered the most monster new note 20. I wish it was smaller, but I want all the tech stuff in that one so that it stays relatively current the longest.

WillieWatanabe · « **Reply #3565 on:** August 07, 2020, 01:18:09 PM »

i went 3 years without damaging my GS8. In the last 4 months i've dropped it twice and it landed on an edge of an object both times damaging the edge of the screen. It's not awful and the screen cover is keeping everything together. Battery still lasts all day so i really don't want to drop however much money a new phone costs anymore.

New iPhone announcement next Tuesday!

Based on what I've seen it has the physical aesthetics of Soviet architecture circa 1973

Kat Kid · « **Reply #3568 on:** September 08, 2020, 04:11:16 PM »

I think I am going to get a watch if the new one is good.

pissclams · « **Reply #3569 on:** September 08, 2020, 04:43:49 PM »

i'm looking forward to the iphone returning to the squared off edges, not sure how that relates to soviet architecture circa 1973 but i'll leave that to those who were studying it at k-state back then

lib and any other fellow no screen protector bros: i dropped my phone while VQ'ing in moab and cracked the screen and then this week it got worse and most of the screen stopped working. took it to sprint/t-mobile and they replaced the screen for $29 in like 2 hours. lmao at anybody who has a stupid screen protector

Cell phone accessories are a complete scam

WillieWatanabe · « **Reply #3573 on:** September 17, 2020, 02:30:45 PM »

I feel like my phone is too slick without a case and i would drop it more. I enjoy mine
