Does anyone else have this?

When you flash something onto your android phones and the boot process afterwards takes very long and you start to get veeeeeery nervous 😅

don't disturb the coders who wear head phones. It will take 2 more hours to make them back to track

- What is exactly your job
-- I am a developer
- So, what does it mean exactly?
-- I create software, applications like those you use on your phone and PC
- So you can create phones and PCs?
-- No it is not that :|
- Can you fix my Laptop?
-- here we go

When programming will be possible on our mobile phones and the deadlines are fast approaching. 😂😂😎

Today i used my phones flashlight to find my phone in the dark. I. am. so. dumb.

Why is it that every time I tell someone I code they instantly think I can hack into things like their phones. Then after that they never trust me with any electronic device.

Me: Hey can I use the toaster?

Them: No! Your just going to hack it.

Them: "Our phones are down."

Me: "I'm sorry to hear that. Have you notified your provider?"

Them: "My provider?"

Me: "...You haven't been our VoIP client for about a year and a half now."

*Client phones me at 11pm*
Client: It's not working!!
Me:What's the error you're getting?
Client: "Database connection error"
*Phones system/dB admin*
DB Admin: Yeah we had to change the SQL logins, I've sent you the new ones
*Phones junior dev in charge of dB programming*
Junior Dev: Yeah you'll just have to go and change the credentials. They're in all the places where we're using the dB, just before the statement, in the connection strings...

We make over 470 calls to the DB 😑

Samsung.

They basically have Chinese crapware on many phones, disguised as "Smart Manager" or some bs. It's "powered by Clean Master". Clean Master is crapware developed by Cheetah Mobile.

When people ask for factory images for their phones on xda!!

Does Apple always have to copy what Samsung did first? 🙄

Apparently Apple is bringing Dual Sim Tech to it's phones in future.

Apple = Internet Explorer of Companies

People who say "hi" on slack and then take 50 years to say what they actually want to say.

People who sit on the table beside yours to play games on their phones.

People who call you dad.

People.

Bought a second hand phone because my current one drains too fast (battery).

Flashing through the recovery doesn't work, I need Odin.

Only windows installation I have left (spare laptop I hardly use) crashes every time I boot up.

Linux version of an alternative is downloadable but the site gives a shit ton of errors.

Well fuck me sideways right now.

Yesterday in the flight I was travelling announcement: passengers carrying Samsung galaxy note 7 must switch off at all times and must not charge their phones!!

Am I the only one who, while in public, subconsciously look at what users are doing on their phones in effort to better understand the species known as "user"?

I'm not from EU or anything but you guys from the EU should thank the government for increasing the prices of your phones 👌.

Me: I honestly don't care how thick a phone is and who cares if it doesn't have wireless charging...

Other consumers: I want a thin, beautifully designed phone and it has to have wireless charging, it's 2018 l, every phone needs this....

*Me watching that same consumer put a thoch bulky case that hides the phone and breaks wireless charging*

Well that makes fucking sense doesn't it...

When your phones micro SD card has a bit more storage than expected

EU have finally passed the law that requires all phones to have user-changeable batteries by 2027.

The last startup I worked at didn't give us the WiFi password because they "didn't want people to get distracted by unnecessarily using internet on their phones". Little did they know that making a hotspot from a laptop is totally a thing...

When a mobile dev says he knows phones inside out:
"Most phones come with a built-in, disabled FM radio chip, if I needed you to build an app that enables the chip and uses it, how would you do that?"
Not relevant really, but it's always fun to stump people who act stuck-up and smart. I'd never ask this question to someone who was nervous and/or humble.

RIP both my social life and my phones battery life 😂

Woohoo! I fixed a huge memory leak in our app! ... In one class.

Time for noise cancelling head phones, 80s hacker music, tons of caffeine, and more leak hunting. :)

Mobile plan with fairly decent call time and 2gigs of internet: $20
Mobile plan with no calls and unlimited internet: $5

Yep its time to put telegram on my family's phones

am I only one who thinks that ≥6GB RAM for phones is just too much as most of the time the unused RAM gets wasted for no goddamn reason but the only one being that the companies want their product(s) to look more compelling in `spec sheets` and it's a competitive market so it ok for them to do so...

@dfox would it be possible to have the menu open when swiping from the left edge? (E.g. Slack, Stack Exchange)

The menu button is quite high on larger phones, hard to reach with me thumb.

Boss:"Build templates that convert our 1000+ pages built for desktop, into responsive ones that work on large screen and phones. "

Finished...Run the company's code scanner and it reports violations of development rules (which was expected)

I go to request exemptions....

"Oh, no you can't use JavaScript or CSS that uses position."

Dear Phone Manufacturers,
I dont like that you always make phones slimmer and slimmer, batteries suffer and the cooling of the SoC isnt really improving either...
Also your phones are getting more breakable than ever!

JUST MAKE PHONES THICKER FOR GODS SAKE! THEN WE CAN HAVE BATTERIES WHICH LAST FOR DAYS AND PHONES THAT ARE INDESTRUCTABLE! thanks. and now Fuck off

Worst part of devving? Handling fucking time. GMT, EST, daylight savings, DHCP settings overriding the actual time because some fuckwit runs a server incorrectly, dealing with Voip phones and their super flaky time profiles. Fuck time.

Most Anti-virus and cleaners are just show-off .... especially the one's in Android phones.....

set my phones date to the first april 2018.

look at the devRant logo and its name.

The note 7 fiasco makes me very thankful to be working on software for internal applications. I introduce a bug, and there's an obnoxious error dialog a user needs to click out of. Samsung introduces a bug and phones start exploding.

So if Verizon agreed to not SIM lock phones in order to get the the 700MHz Block C license aka LTE Band 13, and now they're SIM Locking phones, does that mean they're going to lose their LTE license?
.
.

Just kidding, that'd require an FCC with a spine. But it fucking should.

At a mobile developer desk:

- 1 PC
- 1 Mac (for iOS Build)
- 2 Android phones and one tablet
- iPhone, iPad
- a lot of cables, too many of them

5" phones are too big.

15" laptops are too big.

Mid tower cases are too big.

Yet the market seems to disagree with me.

Based on how many people are violently upset at Apple for removing a 60 year old piece of technology from their phones I'm guessing this is the ideal types of ports for some people. Because why try something new when you can stick to legacy technology?

Team leader: so can you develop uwp application?
Me: sure...
Team leader: ok! You're hired to find our bugs , by the way, we give our employees Microsoft Lumia phones.
Me: OMG.im out. the phone will get bsod.
#TrueStory #SecurityCompany

So we were out celebrating the 18th Birthday of a friend and the conversation drifted to mobile phones and some people were seriously asking why someone who can afford it doesn't choose an iPhone and why her brother chose the Google Pixel over the iPhone because apparently iPhones seem to be the best phones for these IT people

When the last battery of one of your phones die. And you don't want waste more money with a new one.
But you need to perform a backup.

Found 4 unused phones, what should I do with them?

My cousin's husband who's an engineer at Google asked me if the whole screen on my phone was a fingerprint scanner.

I just looked scared at him and said, "when are you from?! We don't have that kind of technology yet"

Me at school: Erh I make programs and I guess it is sort of a hobby
The other kids: SO YOU CAN HACK PEOPLES COMPUTERS AND PHONES??? :0
Me: Not exactly, I actually program websites and some games...
The other kids: WOAH CAN YOU PLEASE MAKE ME A CUSTOM GTA???
Me:

It's bloody 2019 and the navigation bars on smartphones are still on top. There's no denying that Windows phones did get some things right. I miss them.

I prefer android phones. Am in the oddball here? I had a client ask me if I owned an iPhone. I said I don't, all I have are Androids. He is shipping me an iPhone so I can test our app on it.

Hmm.

@dfox maybe it's a good idea to make devRant available for splitscreen on phones :D

I think it's amazing to listen to my girlfriends ranting on whatsapp and scrolling through devRant at the same time! (double ranting)

I can't believe people are willing to scan their faces, fingerprints, and retinas on their phones.

Such data is very sensitive as it can't be changed easily.
CCTV is now everywhere and everyone has his own scanner providing data for tracking people.

Am I too paranoid?

Why you should buy XXX phones...

Samsung: ＥＤＧＥ
LG: ＬＯＲＥＭ　ＩＰＳＵＭ
Huawei/Xiaomi/Chinese models: ＩＮＮＯＶＡＴＩＶＥ　ＣＯＰＹＣＡＴ
iPhone: ＡＥＳＴＨＥＴＩＣ
Pixel: ＪＵＳＴ　ＤＩＦＦＥＲＥＮＴ　ＳＯＭＥＨＯＷ
Nokia: ＳＮＡＫＥ

Kids upset about their phones not getting android N. Back in our days we where upset about losing our crayons.

Applies for Android Internship

Supervisor: Work with this Image Processing Library to "RECOGNIZE" objects from the phones camera.

Me: Wuuuuuh....?

Supervisor: Also it should be in real time and can't use internet.

Me: But that's impossible....

Supervisor: Align your goals with the company's goal. Nothing is impossible......(gets all motivational)

Me: 😩🔫

99% of apps I remove from my phone are apps with bad UI/UX interfaces 😂

Why don't Android users upgrade to newer phones?
It's a pain supporting users on API level 20 and below. -_-

Motorola.

Nice bang for buck with their mid-range phones, but the OS basically doesn't get updated and the support is shit.

Just a random thought.
If you are going to remove the headphone jack in phones because your goal is to make it slimmer, we'll why not put two USB c ports? One for charging and other actions, one for other actions only

For those of your who have been following me, I would like to announce that I have received a perfect score for my bachelor thesis (OnDeviceAI, ie. Training neural networks in mobile phones.

Trolls or innocents?

TIL: There are phones with 512GB and even 1TB internal storage... WHO THE FUCK NEEDS THAT MUCH STORAGE IN THEIR PHONE?!! Your phone becomes an external 1TB SSD with a touchscreen at that point...

Confession: I have an original Zune mp3 player, and use it. It has outlasted 2 smart phones I used as music players.

Please stop saying, "stock Android." What you mean is AOSP, and no phones from any manufacturer come with it. Stock means it's in the original state that the manufacturer intended, filled with bloat, whether it's Samsung, Google, LG, Xiaomi, or whatever.

Hey guys, I'm looking for small and cheap vibrators. One that you can use in an IOT project, the size of the ones in smart phones.
My searches on goggle are getting !work friendly results. Any ideas of a shop I can order some? Small miniature motors too.

And so it begins
(First linux only machine)
((Ok let's ignore phones 😅))

WHEN will people understand, that FUCKING SHOUTING IN THEIR PHONES in public transportation will NOT
NOT
NOT transmit their FUCKING voice faster, or louder or more clearly or FUCKING ANYTHING.

It is like choosing between Iphone 6 & Galaxy 7. They are both too expensive for me.😔😔😔

The new iPhone will be out soon. For those who want to know what new features will be coming with it: have a look at last generation android phones.

Nokia 2003: 6 times christmas till charging

Iphone 7: 6 times charging till christmas...

Websites with annoying ads that hold your phones browser hostage to install a fake AV or vote in a stupid poll.

Scientists have found that If you just kill the Chrome process, it can give you enough charge to fully charge your Mobile Phone.

On some days it feels like Apple & Google are competing to see who can ship the buggiest phones!

Do you give your PC or Smartphone (or printer etc) a name?

Like: I called my Laptop "Momo" (Reference: Michael Ende, I never read nor watched it but I liked the drawing style)

And my Phone "Ori" (Reference: Ori & the blind Forest, I never played it, only saw a some gameplay)

I'm not a heavy smartphone user, but going from having to keep phone plugged every few hours ( battery was shitting itself in my last phone ) to this is just incredible.

I have never experienced this kind of battery life other than in those old nokia brick phones.

Tech Dept set all company phones to the same iCloud account and didn't turn off iMessage..

Boss + HR + random works all just realised they'd been sharing messages.

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

#Apple had just one non-proprietary port in their phones and they've removed it in #iPhone7.

Wonder how come they agreed to have USB-C in their latest notebooks.

Welcome to the expensive world of Apple.

When smart phones can't handle daylight savings 😂

Phones are getting bigger screens but also heavier. Why can't they just make a mobile phone that fits nicely on one hand and doesn't weigh like 1/4th of a kilo (phone+casing+screen protector).

!dev but rant

Samsung
Samsung...

Samsung!! What the fuck is wrong with you?
Some longer time ago you earned forst red red flag called knox. What the fuck you mean there is physical diode in phone that will burn out when I do whatever I want with phone? Its my phone. My. I live in europe and european law is with me. Its **MY** stuff and Im allowed to be super user so fuvk off with knox bullshit.

Okay, now, more and more phone are missing critical feature to save few cents a phone. You were last bastion. You were **that** company who was loyal to audio jacks. And why the fuck you plan to remove it? You know what? That one thing brought your phones from one of best (becouse retained audio jacks and didnt do much of notch fuckupery) to literally worst one thanks to knox.

And before anyone tells me bullshit apple tried to say "thats space saving", no its not true to point where one of their very own Iphones had internally space and traces for audio jacks. Its to save pennies on phone for profit margins and to force us to use bluetooth stuff, that I dislike. I stick to my K518 few years now and I am super happy user of it. Why y'all want to take away good stuff?

Oneplus, your turn. Why the luving fuck your big bulletpoint of marketing was "yes, we will keep loyal to audio jacks" and later down the line you shown one big fat middle finger to all users.

Goos job, guys, well fucked up.

So any good modern alternatives for my OnePlus 5 when it becomes obstole in few years? Nope. Fuck nope.

OP7 pro is awesome but no audio jacks absolutely kills off this phone in my eyes to level of not existance and inability to be considered.

Programming level GOD!!! 😬😬😬

Yesterday at work the internet went out. Our director of IT stopped by our cubes and the conversation that followed went like this:

Director: "Is the internet out for you guys?"
Us: "Yeah"
Director: "But you can still check your emails right?"
Us: ".... No?"
Director: "But the phones are working!"

*Director walks away to talk with our networking group*

My parents are more distracted by cell phones than me? ....

phones and mobile phones

Dat moment when your contact person phones you and ask If you delete the whole Release Folder...

YEAH SURE I WAS IT BECAUSE I LIKE TO WORK ON WEEKEND

Fyi: FTP with one user for everyone - harhar stupid bricks

Linus Torvalds, while writing about the future of Linux in his autobiography 'Just For Fun', said Linux will be used in cell phones in near future. He wrote this in 2000. After 16 years, we see Android (based on Linux Kernel) in over a billion cell phones! What a visionary! Makes me wonder!

Sorta dev related.
I work at a service desk for an automotive supplier.
We've once hab out entire mobile phone system crash and for whatever reason, it won't let the phones connect, if there are more than 50 phones trying to connect at the same time. Kind of a problem if there are 400+ phones trying to connect.
My colleagues showed me what to do in order to get one phone to connect to our system.
It was basically: enter some invalid data on out webinterface, save, enter the correct data again and safe again.

It was too stupid for me. So i hacked an AutoIt script together in about 15 minutes, and let it run for the next half an hour. Showed it to my colleagues, they were excited and I went and got a coffee.

It really annoys me when someone opens an app in Android phones and then leave it open in the background.

For fucks sake can people stop using phones while walking, especially in busy places it's getting fucking ridiculous not to mention dangerous, the number of people I've seen that have headphones on and are glued to their screens almost bumping into people. What can they possibly be doing that's so important that they cant leave their phone in their pocket for 15 minutes while they get to where they need to be.

Ever had people asking you to fix their smart phones because " you know computers" and then you go with " you have a broken scream and no sound , I'm a Software engineer , explain to me how can I fix it "

Then they respond " I don't know , you are the expert , aren't you ?

I just broke 2 phones in two days... believe it or not... Both screens cracked and no swipe functionality survived...

I miss my fucking Nokia Lumia 930... that motherfucker was almost fully destroyed, screen cracked as shit, I could actually hold the screen on one hand and the rest of the phone on the other and it was still fucking working...

Needless to say, I'm going to Amazon and I'm getting a new Nokia phone, fuck LG, fuck Sony.

I wasn't planning on giving Christmas presents to the people I hate until I heard about those exploding Samsung Galaxy phones 😈

It took us 30 years to get to the point where phones and laptops use the same charger but at least we are here. Also fuck calculus.

Found some of my old phones, what should I do with 'em? Almost all of them run LineageOS already (i.e. all but the iPhone 6) with TWRP, so they are definitely available modification

Finally after a couple of years, we finally finished our game for... Windows phone. When we started the only real choice was to develop in silverlight.

Now silverlight has been discontinued and microsoft released uwp, no real help to convert to uwp (I know mobilize bridge exists, but it is not very good) since many features does not exist yet in uwp :/

But hey that's expected right? But couldn't microsoft at least ensure performance of silverlight apps on win10 mobile??? We have used a lot of time optimizing that the game runs smoothly on crap phones on wp8.1, but highend phones on win10 lags....

Thanks microsoft for taking a change :/

There are many operating systems out there but android is like windows for phones and it's getting ugly very fast.

Mobile phones are from hell >:[ Well, at least my gf's Samsung is from hell. It makes noise for anything. If someone calls, play a stupid melody. If there is a text, play a stupid melody. If its battery needs to be charged, play a stupid melody. If its battery is fully charged, play a stupid melody. Even if it's in the middle of the night and people just maybe would like to get a few minutes of sleep! What's next? Play a stupid melody when the stupid Samsung Android piece of junk wants its diaper changed? Or when it's bored? Or just needs attention? Or when it realises that the word "smart" in smart phones actually means stupid? SHUT UP!!! We don't need a tamagotchi, we already have two kids and two cats to fullfill our tamagotchying needs! Technology is supposed to make life easier, not worse FFS! No wonder so many people get stressed out these days! And you, pathetic people at Samsung, or whoever that come up with these "smart" features that deprave decent people of their sleep, now it's your turn to be woken up! WAKE UP IDIOTS! Get outside your small mobile-bound shitholes of confined fart-filled bubbles! Learn about REAL LIFE, get yourselves nagging gfs, screaming kids and a PUNCH IN YOUR FACES! Maybe that will teach you to manufacture phones that SHUT THE FUCK UP during sleeping hours!

i want you to make zoom available in this bootstrap fancybox , but it should work perfectly in IE , tv, phones, bilboards , fridges, and microwaves...

My phone's space was almost full so it automatically deleted 3 gigs of my videos, photos, songs, recordings and I don't fucking know what.

FUCK these Chinese shit phones.

The fact people are still tryna have Android phones vs iPhone debates is retarded. Just use the got damn phone and get over yourself thinking it fucking matters.

Started a new job, they handed me a new phone and asked me to have my 2 phones with me all the time. So sad technology for putting 2 SIM cards in one phone has not been invented yet. Oh wait

People filming fn fireworks with their goddamn phones is exactly why we should invent proper EMP device

Anybody do anything cool with their leftover Androids / iPhones ? I recently came across a good amount of them from extended family. They’re all in pretty good condition. I think it’s a waste because they are fairly recent devices with good processing

"No my phone is faster then yours. I prove you"
Puts Android Device and iPhone next to each other and opens Facebook app at "the Same time" by clicking on the app icon after counting down from 3.
"See its way faster"

*Facepalm*

Today tragedy has struck, I forgot my ear phones

I couldn't get into the zone, had issues with bugs and had to listen to people breathe and make mouth noises in the train.

I had to resort to playing songs in my head which didn't draw out any distracting noises

I finally decided to switch to Linux (I still have Windows for work, but I want to give Linux a try too). I was about to complete the installation (Arch Linux so I was quite tired and stressed cause of fuck ups) when BOOM my fucking phone with the installation guide falls on my laptop's power button and powers it off. Fuuuuuuuuuuuckkkk. I have to do everything again. Shit.

I hate it when my friends think they're hackers just because they were able to jailbreak their phones.

I've had a phone's charging port melt on me, a charger just give up and barely give any current, and now my charger overheated and almost caught on fire and my room smells like burnt plastic... I have great luck with charging phones

Got new work phones.
Mines sorted :).

Searching in Youtube "Upcoming Phones 2020" gives me "Top 10 upcoming phones in India"

*Clicks one english title without the word "India"

*Hears voice over in Hindi.

why oh why.

I'm learning today from the big brain managers that elements on our mobile app are "clickable".

Truly amazing, I wonder which of our users are plugging a mouse into their phones and using it to click around.

incompetent 🤡

Bricked my android device the other day. Took a whole day to get it working again.

Why do phones have to make it all so complicated. It should be like PCs, being able to install anything as long as it matches the CPU architecture.

How to get clicks on YouTube:

Step 1: wait for a mayor phone manufacturer to release a new phone.
Step 2: make a video with the title 'X reasons why you shouldn't buy <insert new phones name>'
Step 3: ???
Step 4: profit.

New phone
Moto Z2 Play

My bi-annual ritual:
1. Get home after 5 months
2. By cheap ear/head-phones
3. Use them for the next 5 months till they wear out
4. Repeat
😂😂

Also watches. But I gave up on those back in school.😛

First actual post, despite having an account for over a month!
Wondering what phones people are using? I myself use the galaxy s7 edge, switched to android from iPhone to try and make apps and Android was easier than trying to make them on iPhone.

Open plan office. Distraction hell.

Phones ringing. Endless people walking past. People talking shite nearby. Constant interruption in one form or another.

Has anyone here ever developed why Windows phone app? If so, what prompted you to stop/discontinue?

I personally liked Windows phone (haters, please refrain) and I really wanna know why app makers discontinued making/supporting apps, making win phones disappear.

Spent a good hour wondering why our website is displaying in the wrong language on some phones. Ended up opening an issue on the Chromium tracker.

I had to repair two phones in two days at TechCrunch NY. I guess the name applies in more than one way...

my phone based set up. guess who provisions all the phones to our platform. then tests 9 million phones and takes the flack when users press incorrect keys or their internet goes down on site and it 'must be a provisioning issue'......this asshole.

Cellphone sizes keep on increasing. The only phone under 5 inches that are worth buying are all iPhones.

I've been using Android phones since HTC dream. Looks like I'll have no choice but to switch to iPhone this or next year.

What phone do you use? Do you like big phones? Why?

I have small hands :(

I just ordered a Lumia 640 for app testing. Gotta show those Windows Phones users some love too.

ios is such a fucking piece of shit os. it won't let you upgrade it unless you are on wifi, and even if you connect to wifi it will say "iphone will try to install this update later tonight". typing on the ios keyboard is terrible, and feels like i'm in 2011 again. it would have been much more usable if the good parts were not sacrificed to suit appearance and whoever is in charge of ios development didn't think that his way of using the iphone was the only true way of using a phone. i'm so pissed off because of the wifi thing gosh

P.S. i can't imagine someone coming from long time android use and saying "how fucking awesome!"

Which phones do you recommend?
Which have given you the fewest problems?

I want something with custom rom support so i can add my own problems (duh) and to make it prettier. Apart from that, the only other deal breakers are a lack of wireless charging (I have children who break everything) and an awful screen. I'm not really picky about anything else, but I do want it pretty.

Anyone have a phone like this that they actually like?

!dev

Two people are arguing about what time he texted her for like 2 min now..

Both of them hold their smartphones in their hands..

JUST UNLOCK YOUR PHONES AND CHECK THE FACTS!!

Question from curiosity:

Does anyone know of interesting things to try on unused electronics, like phones or game consoles? Does Anyone have any stories of such or something? Software and hardware wise?

An alternative OS for phones able to be installed super simply without flashing or unlocking the bootloader, similar to how easy it was to jailbreak am iPhone years ago. It would also have a focus on privacy and the ability to turn off and on as much functionality as the user wants

DevRant poll time!

Do you prefer dark phones or white phones?

Backstory:

Getting the Google Pixel 2 XL and can't choice between Panada and the black version. Also idc about the screen not being vibrant.

Whats it with phones not allowing the flash light under 5%. As if i cant fkn decide myself how to use my battery.

I actually enjoy fixing my family's/friends'/... computers/printers/phones/...

gotta have clear boundaries, specially with phones. I don't even think about code solutions outside of work, i leave that stuff in the office. we're not a "family", I'm not doing anything for love and my extra hours are a rarity.

‪People who are shitting on a chrome browser for desktop because of security reasons, but using it on their phones - you are mental.

Using devrant on windows phone. Windows phones are so so so nice. Why microsoft did you stop windows phones. They are the best OS and greatest experience. Bring back windows phone please.

Fucking Huawei have stopped giving out codes for unlocking the bootloader of their devices. You can't even get one by messaging their support.

Now you can't even root Huawei phones anymore unless you pay for some very sketchy looking software.

Fuck this

While waiting for the subway to go to work i was checking my emails on my phone, an old man approched "u young people are only using those phones for facebook and useless stuff , find yourself a job and blablabla.. " how can i tell him i'm a mobile developer ... :/

Phones be like ..
Ooh pls sync your gallery, call history,messages, personal details, medical history, address proof, grandad's number to our cloud

Just realized that after 3 months of continuous samsung s9 use my phone is still as fast as it was when i got it out the box.

Man I love this stupid phone so much. Everything opens up so fast and this sob is as smooth as an iphone when it comes to the speed.

Pure goodness. Still would like to try a more pure Android environment u know? Like back when nexus was still a thing. I don't really dig the pixel phones too much but know that I am on a more open carrier and I can use phones like the one plus series I think i know what my next phone would be.

Nothing personal samsung, you have been good ans loyal, but i want to play with more phones.

I really love smartphones.

That very moment! when your app is ready
but suddenly
Android Marshmallow has gone live
and every pips has updated their phones

and you forgot to implement about runtime permissions

We need Phones with nuclear batteries, and no need to stay plugged in all tye day anymore l.

Was trying to figure out why the code coverage tool always reports 0% on my android tests. Turns out that is specific to newer samsung phones and it reports the coverage correctly on other phones.
Good old samsung, annoying devs since 2009!

Remember when samsung flip phones were the bomb? Now Note 7 is the bomb. Samsung still got it!

Any of android devs use iphones as daily phones?

Relative phones up worried about installing Adblocker as it "can store and modify the websites you visit"...my answer.."so can GCHQ, NSA AND CIA so just give in to the fact that you have no privacy and click ok"...*long pause*.."ok one more question, what's a chrome extension?"..FML

My best Fking friend thinks that iPhones and Windows phones are the best phones for hacking.. (cctv, websites and all those shit)...HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO LIVE WITH THEM ?!?!

My new ISP asked what devices I would be connecting to the internet... "Well let's see here, computers, web servers, tablets, phones, IoT devices, game consoles, MP3 players, smart TVs, robots..."

Was discussing phones with a friend.
After a while, I said I use a Nexus 5X as my main driver with a Nokia 3310 (which I have for like 10 years already, they are that Finlay proof lmao) as an emergency backup.
So he said: "best backup ever, and if you have robbers, you throw it. Don't bring a gun to a Nokia 3310 fight"

I'm thinking about placing my menu button at the bottom instead of top right since the phones have become essentially larger than our hands. What do you guys think?

I'm so used to phones that when I stretched with my 3DS in my hand I was fully prepped for the screens to auto-rotate.

what have you done to me

UGHHH XIAOMI CAN YOUR SHITTY FIRMWARE STOP NAGGING ME WITH "U NEED TO CLEAN UR PHONES STORAGE" NOTIFICATION

Anyone else excited for the purism and pine phones to hit the main market? Wanna hear what the devRant community is thinking of this?

Angular dosent work as well in Firefox somehow...
The navigation is choppy, observables are slow.
I think anything to do with rxjs dosent work as well.
Chrome works great even on cell phones.

“Millennials are picking up their phones on average of 237 times per day. The machines have not adapted to the millennials. The millennials have adapted to the machines.”
Started listening to this book. So far so good.

Is there some basic guide to privacy for (android) phones?

Like where you flash some secure ROM, get timely updates , no gapps or privacy threatening app, use secure services and alternatives mainstream ones, and use foss s/w.. And something like fdroid instead of playstore store or something..

Ignore the badly framed idea, but you get my point..

So what phone do you guys use? I'm currently looking to upgrade to something preferably android from my 7+

Why do people like or even use Discord?

It is the same people behind OpenFeint and Discord - which has some lawsuits against it because the app installed shit on mobile phones without users consents

Holy shit! Samsung is literally on fire these days... Firstly, they release the Linux on Dex beta with Ubuntu support and now they announced the new UI for their next phones which is fucking amazing in my opinion.

Unabashed Apple Fanboy who is very excited for the iPhone X and can afford it. (Not like Red isn’t launching 1200-1400 phones next spring-summer)

Why are all the darn phones made so slippery that you are forced to buy covers?

Say I have 10 iPhones in a red bucket, and 10 Galaxy Notes in a blue bucket.

Now, I throw both buckets in the air with excessive force at the same time, and put the buckets on the ground next to each other before any phones start their decent.

How many phones land in the blue bucket?

I don't know how people dont get annoyed with ads on their fucking phones home screen from some weird apps they probably felt needed to install because the next sheep (online or not) told them so.

Samsung make such shit phones. My 2 month old s8 completely locked up for about 5 hours today with cpu on 100%. You would get burnes if you touched it. The only apps I have are, instagram, FF, snap, devRant. Smh.

What is your opinion on eSIM (embedded SIM)?

Now that Apple has built the first smartphone without modular SIM, it is, as history shows, only a matter of time until the same vendors who mock Apple for doing this will hypocritically follow Apple in implementing it themselves. There will be an outrage, but it will fade and the new restriction will be tolerated.

To me, "eSIM" appears like an euphemistic / euphemSIMtic (pun intended) marketing term, like calling non-replaceable batteries "eBatteries" ("embedded batteries") would be. It is less modular and more locked-down.

Metal phones are mmmmmmhhh yes

Way, way back when IBM discovered, gasp, that the largest gain in programmer productivity was giving each one an office. Have also read it takes 15 min to regain train of thought after an interruption. What is pair programming doing to us and worse open offices? And phones?

I think that we should have a global tech free day once a year. A day when no one is allowed to use their phone/computer/tablet etc.

It's scary how addicted we are to that shit and it would be very nice if everyone just got a day off.

Why the hell does Google navigation always want to calibrate the phones compass when I just started driving?

Is it programmed like "Oh, didn't expect him to actually drive after he entered his destination, now quick, let me catch up on it now"?

So Vivo made a bezeless phone this time
But guess what its again gonna contain a fucking kazillion Megapixel Selfie camera with Mars Light Flash to make you look Unique paired with a shit mediatek Processor.
Also,
They have got stones from krypton and their next phone is gonna have krypton light flash just so the fuckin superman can't use that just because they partnered with marvel to get infinity stones so that they can use them in their later phones as a light for the selfie flash.
Guess what? Thanos preodered it ..
Well Played Vivo

Why the fk is there still no dark theme for google calender? Mostly for phones. This shit is lame google. Even freaking outlook has a dark theme by now!

My family thinks me as
- the guy who fixes computers
- the guy who fixed mobile devices
- the guy who knows (must know) about mobile phones (which I personally can care less)

Google Assistant in iPhone? Seriously? In the opposite way Siri should be introduced to android phones else I would be unable to understand this business decision!

My mom thinks I fix Wi-Fi and computers.
My dad's thinks I setup TVs and fix phones

They're both crazy

When the majority of your free time is actually spent fixing your friends and family's computers/phones/etc.

does anyone else with phones included larger batteries? i couldn't give a shit about weight or thickness, i'd double both if it means my battery life would double

Everytime i buy any electronics , my brother would suggest me to buy latest ones with the newest configuration . His logic was " If you buy a not-so new tech now.. It will outdate fast and you will end up with an outdated one soon.. So the extra 10K is worth considering that " .

Considering the development trend i personally think it is useless to invest in electronics unless necessary . Everytime i buy an electronic product , within 2 or 3 months i find the same good at almost 75% of the price.. So with tech prices falling like this.. i think it is worth saving that money instead of the cutting edge tech which i wont need for another 2 years .

Thoughts ?

(The cousin brother i mentioned does this everytime he buys a phone and ends up changing the phone 4 times faster than me.. and the use case is similar to mine if not worse..)

Been at my parents place (in Ostrfriesland) over the weekend.
Only had to fix 2 phones and their printer!

New low score for a long time.

What u guys think which technology.... Literally have biggest impact in the world??

I think mobile phones.
What u guys think?

Pixel 4a 5g
what’s with the phones name these days

This company is giving me such a great offer, i would be able buy 2 i phones and will still have a lot of "exposure" left

People need to fucking shut up about this MacBook Pro port shit. They're moving all their ports to one unified port that has a standard interconnect that people have been wanting on Android phones and other machines since USB C was announced. Shut the fuck up and notice that it's changing for the better.

So this week I picked up some Sennheiser HD 600 phones for my listening pleasure and take my mind off life stresses.

At work I've been using some Bose phones, but these Senns being open back may be a little loud for the neighboring cubicles.

I guess sound quality and all day use are mutually exclusive. Anyways, what's coding without some great indie tunes. :)

BTW, they sound amazing!!

Shower thought of the week...

Cell phones raised strongly the relative probability of being bitten by a toilet snake...

Put on head phones for efficient coding.it helps a lot trust me

The new samsung s8 phones: not much innovation but great execution!

Some people were talking about IPhones and I calmly stated that Apple should catch up, and somebody behind me that I hate said "Android should catch up".
I could not help but laugh out loud.
I then looked it up, but didn't show him the specs between these phones:
digitaltrends.com/mobile/iphone-7-vs-galaxy-s7/

I guess we know what's been killing my phone these past couple days

Anyone else going to get one of the new pixel phones as well?

If so, why?

Please no negativity just want other peoples opinions on the pixel 2 :-)

Sitting and making mobile phones do what i want. When i tell them what i really do they just say:"I don't any word you say, but i think it's good!" 🤔

I just downloaded battery monitor app to figure out why my new phones battery is draining so quickly...

The app says though it's best to charge only up to 80%.

But logically if this were true, shouldn't the manufacturer adjust for it themselves so that when Android says 100... In reality it's actually 80?

Why the hell laptops do not have wireless charging at this point? Would rant about phones, but I’ve heard that Apple will release iPhone 13 with wireless only, so that’s great

Is it just me or is what susspose to be the tech giants, making more and more n00b mistakes lately... Apple's latest update "best release of iOS yet" bricks the phone, Samsung phones are blowing up...

Things are continously prematurely released to try and beat everybody in the market place which just leads to unimpressive and dangerous product releases.

Ordered a new phone. It's called Asus zenfone pro m1.

I never had a phone that sounds this long.

And it has 6GB RAM. Few years ago I thought it would be ridiculous for phones to have more than 2GB and now here we are.

Hope it will serve me good, atleast spec wise it should.

It's funny how mobile tech has grown. A few years ago games that I'm making today were just ridiculous when it comes to requirements. Now those same games are getting thousands of downloads and they're running smoothly.

IE. Unity's postprocess was reserved for pc only. Now it runs on phones with a constant 60fps. Love it!

What do prisoners use to call each other? Cell phones.

Would it be nice when I rotate phone screen it could rotate application icons ?
How many people are picking up their phones wrong side ?

Maybe "non-replaceable" batteries in phones isn't a big deal after all. By the time the battery has degraded, the glass back cover is broken for certain. It's no big deal replacing both at the same time.

So my phones camera's are fucked, was working on my games camera system last night and was ranting to my partner that none of it was working but it should be... Her response was 'You're not having much luck with camera's are you?"...

That cuts deep man...

Google are giving t-shirts with certificates now lol. Maybe they need to start adding phones to attract people to their data centers.
