TORT: The ONSC Rant Thread (1 Viewer)

What is your phone doing? Will it power up at all? Will it power up with a power cord plugged in? Could just your battery be flat? Did you recently have a software update? Is your phone rooted?

Why not just buy an unlocked phone that will work for your carrier, and swap sim cards and sd cards?

I bought a factory refurb unlocked s5 off of amazon for 180 or so, to replace my wife's s3 that is acting up.

Feel free to pm me if you think I can help out. PM me with your carrier info too.

ok my rant.....my phone just crapped out. samsunk galaxy s5 pristine condition in an otterbox , in my pocket , workin fine , 2 hrs later... dead....WTF not even 2 years old. I still have to pay 65 bucks just to throw it in the trash....then I have to pay upgrade fees because they cant just replace it.....Toyota should make phones...

All of the new phones coming out on the market have non-user replaceable batteries and yet EVERY smartphone I have since 2009 has had the battery start to fade after 18 months. WTF!!! $800 smart phones are NOT disposable!

 

[stevezero]

That's why I bought another s5. Replaceable batteries and memory

 

[lumbee1]

I've been debating between the Pixel XL and the S7. Both lack replaceable batteries and that has me worried.

 

[angerhater]

not a battery problem . the phone just quit. no signs of life at all. ip

 

[Trollhole]

You can get a shop to replace the battery. After 18 months they are usually worn out anyway.

 

[angerhater]

the shop said the battery was at 2/3 charge..the phone is toast, so now I have to learn an Iphone7

 

[stevezero]

Buy another unlocked s5 off amazon or ebay. under 200 bux. Swap your sim and SD card, and keep your battery as a spare.

I was thinking of doing that, but if this one would crap out for no reason I wont buy Samsung again

Drink the koolaid. Drink the koolaid. samsung is quietly becoming the Beatles (bigger than Jesus). Seen the news about their bigwigs and the many scandals/illegal activities in Korea, or wherever the hell they are?

 

[angerhater]

Using a stainless steel cutting wheel on regular sheet metal is bad?

We finally picked a paint color after a week of living with many test sample panels of 3 different colors in the living room. Any bets that we'll hate it once it's painted? I guess this is an anticipatory rant...antrant.

We've been slowly painting our interior for over a year. We picked the same color we had at our old house, compatible cream. For the bedrooms I have to help decide on a color. Part of the reason it has taken over a year. Ever since the navy, I hate,


HATE


painting.

I'm sure it's already been mentioned... But I love how my Amazon 2 Day shipping, for brake parts ordered on 3/30, is expected to arrive on 4/12.

Ya I get stuff delivered early that has no business being 2 day shipped, but if I need something for a trip or somebody's birthday this happens to me.

Here's one, bought a mower brand new from a mower shop last year. I go to do the first oil change and:

Had to use the filter wrench, which just started to crush the filter and would not turn it. Then hammered a screw driver through, but thought I was going to break the handle off of that, so ended up hammering a 3/8 18" extension through and getting that to work. Took me nearly an hour and I was super pissed. I dunno if the shop guys or the factory assembled that part, but either way, piss poor.

I'm I'm in Fayetteville for work tonight, does that count?

Leave Uwharrie early to head Home for date with my girlfriend of the past 31 years or so, and wham! Boaters on the road, crap comes flying off the boat and lands on my windshield. Perforated windshield badly.
This is where I stopped with the owner of the boat, the plastic piece as protruding on top, the big hole in center the plastic went through and tried to kill me.

There was glass of everywhere, all the way to the back of the truck.

Safelite repair, safelite replace. But not on weekends. Taped plastic tarp to prevent rain from getting in, hoping they can get it replaced Tuesday. Crappppppppp
