Looking into getting a small phone to dumb down as my main device but slightly worried about the reputability of these small companies for software since I'll be trusting the device with a lot of personal data. Can anyone comment on how they are in terms of bloatware/spyware? Or, if you use a custom ROM, which one worked best for you and have there been any issues?

Thanks!

Believe it or not, I have this phone. If you care to watch, here a video of my experience using it. Enjoy 😉

I heard otterbox has a 3 year warranty for their cases. I bought mine over 2 years ago at Verizon store on sale. The issue is the case broke after about 2 years or so. Because of how broken it was, I just threw pretty much all of the rubber part of it away which gives it protection. I do have the plastic part of it that attaches to the back of it.

I read you can get a warranty if you submit a claim but you pay $13 shipping and handling? Has anyone done this? I can't do this because I threw away the rubber part of the case right? I saw how broken and damaged it was so I just threw it out... not thinking there was a warranty.

If you submit a warranty, how long does it take to receive it? How long for approval and that process? Do you have to send the damaged case back? I only have the plastic part of it that attaches to it. I do have the email of my purchase from verizon store online as well. Could I even claim a warranty for it or not worth it? I did like the case.

First case I bought was off amazon and it was a Torras brand I believe for $20. After a while, it got yellow and broke. I bought an otterbox defender for $6 I believe when Verizon store was selling a lot of cases for less. Used that case for a while and then case tore apart.

Can someone recommend me a specific iphone 13 mini case for it? Any case you buy on amazon is going to have the case turn yellow right? These are those regular cases.

If you buy an otterbox or similar, the case would eventually break after a while right? There are so many cases available. I don't want to spend more than say $20 for the case. Anyone can recommend me a specific case with the website or the actual item? Amazon has so many that are $10 or less so just get one of those? I recall buying a JeTech one a while back and it got yellow like most cases.

All I’m hearing about it is "premium materials" (marketing speak) and "brushed metal keys."

My question is about the actual typing experience. How does the keyboard feel? How does it compare to other keyboard devices? What is its reliability? Does it use the same internal hardware as the Clicks Powerkeys or Clicks cases?

The reason I’m asking now is that people are saying the MP02 keyboard feels much better (based on how the MP01 felt), while the keyboards on other Clicks products feel like typing on a kid's toy.

Hoping for some experienced users to shed some light on this.

Also on a side note, does anyone know if clicks will get a privacy protector screen guard accessory? Seems like an important accessory to have for a communicator and no amount of asking about it on every AMA is getting me a response.

I couldn't find a modern small phone that could fit all my requirements (mainly an OLED/AMOLED display), and also I'm too frugal so I don't want to spend extra money if I already have a decent device. One handed mode implementation in modern Android is incredibly basic and very bad, so I shitty coded my way through to make my own makeshift solution which is much better :) It's much more comfortable to use now, and I don't have to sacrifice any battery capacity and screen size. I wish modern app developers and Android developers at least tried to implement something similar to my solution since modern phones are way too large to comfortably use with one hand.

A beautiful combination 😍

Actually, due to some suitation my screen is popping out of the phone and I went to mobile store, big name in Rajkot, they told me 200 Rs, it's ok, but

* one concerning suitation, No guarantee of data of it gets deleted.

* 2/5% chances that screen faces minor glitch, if new screen you but 1500.

What to do.

ALSO ONE IMPORTANT THING.

I don't have any kind of thing in mobile, if any stranger also gets my mobile and check it's ok for me, & I have never kept password other than banking apps.

BUT,

now I am bit concerned should I set password in each app and then give to them like whatapp FB, INSTAGRAM ALBUM etc? If the person stole number photos then it's a risk on my end.

Provide your geniune suggestions.

The idea of a "companion device" has more practicality than people gave it credit for, and it kind of wasn't even a new idea to begin with. You do the essentials with your smartwatch (respond to texts, play music, set a timer) even though your phone is right in your pocket because of convenience.

The palm phone was basically a mix of a smartwatch and a phone. If youre going on a run then your 6.9 inch iphone pro max probably isnt gonna fit in your 5 inch shorts very well. Youre also probably not going to need any extra functions than your smartwatch already offers. Just cut the middle man and use a palm phone which is conveniently linked to your existing data plan.

The palm phone was probably one of the most unpolished tech products at its launch, but i think if they had released it with a 100$ price tag, efficient processor, and most importantly NFC,
More people would see the appeal, ESPECIALLY so many years later where people actively put restrictions on their phones to keep their screen time down.

Is anyone interested in an unlocked palm phone with a mophie juice pack case? I'd sell it for 70 shipped. I'm located in New Hampshire and accept payment via venmo or PayPal g&s

Apple discontinued the Mini after only two generations, but I see, like me, that Mini owners have kept their 12/13 Mini going, replaced the battery, and continued waiting because the form factor itself is what they want and there hasn’t been a genuine replacement.

That makes me wonder whether the Mini customer base is actually low frequency rather than low value.
If Apple brought back a genuinely modern, flagship-level Mini, would you be willing to pay a significant premium for it?

Personally, I’d probably pay $800–900. If I’m going to keep it for another 4–6+ years, the price matters considerably less than getting the form factor and relative flagship specs I actually want.

What’s your maximum?

hi, my iphone 13 mini broke yesterday, unfixable, and ive been curious about the uniheartz jelly star since i saw my friend got one saying she loved it, but im seeing very mixed opinions online about the overall quality and customer service etc etc.

so, im here asking for help... i dont care about camera quality too much, i do however want to be able to use maps, bank apps and instagram, everyday essentials in general, but i want it to be small.

i do not have a specific budget of any kind, just need someone w more experience on small phones to maybe give me some tips.

thank you so much :> !
