After stupid update of “phone application”, had to tape over the proximity sensor ! … otherwise there’s no way to reliably shut the screen during a phone call. Whenever the screen is on, my face touching the screen triggers any stupid functions 🙄 Had to try and test a few location because it was not located at the selfie camera. Once again it shows we are not the customers ; we are the product 😑

      Deep nice comment 😌
      Yes : i bought the cheapest available phones. The cheap Chineses had integrated malware which installed more malware(s) after 12 months.
      Samsung’s bad “detection of ear proximity” would be no problem if there was 1 software switch to disable it.
      “Trade is war” yet i dream of the (almost) perfect Linux smartphone 😆
