Its about that if u put too many transistors close together the electrons will quantum tunnel

Me and my s4 and iphone5s D:

Me too. Its still a lovely phone and its staying with me until I get a better S7. My screen has the notorius pink line on it. Otherwise its been a great phone!

I paused the vid to read the text. just to go from chill to sad. My s7 may no longer be water sealed but the clear backglass and clear screen. Still working perfect.

S7 are trash anyway. Bought mine S7 edge once it came out, costed me over 1000€ (due to insurance extension and a few acessories) and then it failed just after 2 months after the warranty went off. The motherboard went poof, but I bet it was an update because the phone went weird and in the screen i could see that the update made my phone go crazy, it worked like normal and 5 minutes later the motherboard goes boom boom

I've got a rooted S7. Works like a charm basically. But I wouldn't mind an update...

Yeah, using ADB to uninstall bloat wear & disable services running in the background is a great way to breath life into an old phone. My main device is a S7 which still feels snappy.

The thing is, a mobile OS/device is so handicapped and limited that it just doesn't seem worth it to me. To me, a phone is just a tool to listen to music, send a message, or maybe watch a video or something. Doesn't seem worth the effort to learn all that, jailbreak/root (and risk "bricking") the device just to have that kind of control. If I want all that I'll just use my linux desktop/laptop which is super easy to install nowadays.

Because of the "Wow" factor and because of the whole marketing propaganda that's going on for ages. It applies to everything, when they release a newer product their first priority is to convince you it's worth it and a million times better than what you already have. It's not that people don't realize they don't need it but advertising it over and over and over implants the idea in your head that you want it, people talking about it a lot makes you think that certain thing is super interesting and exciting and you must have it hence they will increase the price because they know people will even apply for bank loans to buy certain stuff that they don't need in reality. If you think about it, that's how the world worked since the beginning of times.

Or why Linux can update during use, usually without the need of a restart while the Windows peasants are locked out of their machines for 20 minutes or more? What's going on Microsoft?

Custom roms

Sometimes, you need to change the Operating System itself in order to get security updates.

You can't separate them like that, the security updates assume the later versions unless you expect them to apply the same patch to every release that ever existed.

@@Nayeem2 windows does that though... they give you separate security and bug patch updates for each feature improvement build... even the oldest win10 build from 2015 is still getting security updates lol android and ios really needs to follow windows...

​@@dolbyprologicii And what an elegant bug-free feat of engineering Windows 10 is. Nothing needs to follow Windows which, by the way, costs a lot of money.

Same here. I have a Hydro Vibe and it still is mostly fine.

OnePlus 3 user here, I installed a custom Pie ROM (didn't like the direction Oxygen is was heading) and its performance is better than it was when I first got it.

i still have my 3t and its been 2 years. Currently on pixel experience and its still fast af

I assume that the memory wasn't the only thing ' *F I L L E D U P* '.

My OnePlus One also runs perfectly fine. I mean sure, it takes maybe half a second to open some apps, but that's not exactly "slow"...

And I don’t think the battery is that bad either

Ferdinand S What version of Android is it running? If it’s running a relatively new version of Android it is probably slow because it’s a mid-tier phone with a pretty slow SoC

It’s on 7

But yeah the soc really isn’t that great but it once felt like 4 times faster

Same, reset my Lenovo yoga 2 and it is still very slow! Planned obsolescence is everywhere in the industry.

Everybody is basically going "wah! This company that has to make a lot of money to support its 15+ employees and all its ventures that I watch is getting lots of support via paid ads that they don't exactly have control over who tries to support them!" I'm always surprised that so many people in this community either don't know how sponsorships work, or don't know that basically all self-respecting (and successful, aka, money loving) companies would do each and every Fortnite ad they could in a heartbeat.
