the constant surveillance.
No fucking mini jack for headphones.
A big reason I replaced my old S10+ with a battery that wouldn’t even hold half a day with Xperia 1 VI is that it has both the headphone jack AND an SD card slot. Might be the only flagship left that has both…
Touchscreen basically being unusable in any kind of rain no matter how light
The lack of a fucking headphone jack
That’s the exact reason I have only bought budget phones. That, and they actually have a sim/sd card slot.
I ‘downgraded’ this year and realized what an upgrade having one of those was. We cannot cede those things.

I can’t remember how I did it but I finally figured out a way to turn that shit off. My phone is pretty old, though. They probably took that away on the newer phones.
bxActions, probably? Turn the useless button into something you want.

I’m relatively content with my Pixel 4A running LineageOS (with root), but that’s an experience that’s really only suited to very technical users, in large part because some apps actively resist running in an environment the device owner actually controls.
My complaint is with the smartphone ecosystem as a whole: it’s designed to empower the OS vendor and app developers over users. The entire tech world (outside Microsoft and maybe some corporate IT types) saw Microsoft Palladium as a nightmare scenario a couple decades ago. Now we’ve let Apple and Google do the same thing with barely a grumble out of the mainstream tech press.
How much Google controls the software experience and locks it down.
Currently I wish I could run a local HTML/CSS/JS App on my browser (like you can easily do in any desktop OS) but I can’t.
UPDATE: I found a way!! I have to run a local HTTP server on my phone using an app like “Simple HTTP server”, put my HTML/CSS/JS into a folder targeted by the server, and then go to http://127.0.0.1:8080/ in Chrome (it doesn’t work in Firefox for some reason).
The lack of basic things that used to be standard many years ago. Namely headphone jack and micro-SD card slot missing.
Missing status LED. I’d like to deactivate the always on screen feature.
I remember using an app on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus where you could set every notification to a different color, for every app. Cost me like $2. Last phone that had a notification LED (dunno if it was the Note 4 or Note 8) had only some basic configuration and the app was no longer maintained. Now, I don’t have the LED anymore. Sad.
Maybe if I could have always-on display, but only with a virtual notification LED, I’d be happy.
That shit used to baked into vanilla android.
It’s too big. I couldn’t get a phone the same size as my old one without sacrificing the micro sd slot so I ended up with something bigger than ideal
That it’s 7 years old and I can’t find a replacement that isn’t a downgrade in functionality.
I want a physical keyboard again. I cam’t type on these damn tochscreen buttona. They’re too small and i canct tell which keya i’m toiching.
This just triggers this memory in me every time: https://youtu.be/BPNzbbXjJsQ?t=108
A rare Lemmy thread that has more comments than kicks.
How do you know how many in here are wearing shoes?
It’s still 2 comments for every kick, fresh.
KATIE LEAVING ME ON READ WHEN I ASK FOR FEET PICS
😱
Do we still say “name checks out” on Lemmy?
Be the continuation of a meme you want to see.
I don’t own it like my computer, i’m forced to use the OS that google put, and i don’t even have root access to it
