think_too_mut Posted September 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 Then the junk turns "Proximity sensor on" and shuts down the screen during the call. What fcuk is that and why do I need it? 100 years ago, on a rotary phone, it rings, hello, talk, hang up. Why is it not possible today? In 1969. the entire, complete computer power of NASA, was less than today's single 20$ mobile phone for African market. And they sent a man to the Moon back then. They can't and don't know how to do that today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baa99 Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 You can also turn off the proximity sensor. If the proximity sensor is working properly, the display turns off when you hold the phone next to your face. The display should turn back on when the phone is taken away from the face. The iPhone does the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
think_too_mut Posted September 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 Now you know why Microsoft bought Nokia To jump on a population dumbing train. Microsoft knows they have nothing to do with the mobiles. Yet they are struggling to jump on. Give the people useless and distracting devices. That cattle watches TV, soapies, gets thrilled with bogus news, why not make some money off them? Just how successful Microsoft (as a late entrant) could be? The popular stupidity remains, just being harvested by others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Munchmaster Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 Then the junk turns "Proximity sensor on" and shuts down the screen during the call. What fcuk is that and why do I need it? This piece of junk is expected to sell 60 million units in 2013! Perhaps the problem here isn't the phone but the user?

think_too_mut Posted September 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 That's convincing. That is what BETAMAX fans were told by VXS supporters. Apple proponents were told Windows junk will outsell them by 98% to 2%. And that the problem is in them, not in Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coss Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 NOT entering the argument, just asking for a point of clarification. Is it true that the Samsung Galaxy 4 has no "End Call" button for calls? you have to set an option to use the power button? Does it have a "start" menu to shut it down?

think_too_mut Posted September 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 It does have end call button. However, .if the phone rang when the password time had expired, you can take the call but to end it you need to enter the password. Small keys, if not stationary or without glasses almost guaranteed to make a mistake. Not sure if all are like that but the password on mine must be a combination of upper and lower case letters and numbers. There is an option press the side button to end a call but it ends all else. To see a demo of what rubbish it is, someone posted instructions how to take and end a call (did not click on it). Ridiculous! Like instructions on how to flip the light switch.

Coss Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 So what they need is some bright spark to enter a line of code somewhere that says something like this: password screen lock - if - phone call in progress, then, screen lock = no, else, screen lock = yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
