Random Fail FWP Thread 2: Something, Something, Your Mother's a Whore.

I concur. I'd rather a full time person drop to part time or just quit than deal with consistent scheduling and tardy problems. If we can plan ahead for absences its nbd, but consistently messing up productivity on the weekly because you can't get shit in your life under control for a mere 8 hours is beyond me.

I think my phone is officially on its last legs. Fucking battery is draining stupid fast with everything minimal and closed and froze on me twice this weekend then didn’t want to reboot.

I have an iPhone 6S plus and debating on going back to Samsung now but I wasn’t crazy about any of the phones either so bleh.
I’m so torn what to do.

AT&T doesn’t support it so I’m stuck with a Galaxy or iPhone.

[synistar]

Unlocked Pixels can be on AT&T networks. Course that means you up-front the cost instead of doing payments over 2 years.

Edit - Heck you can get a Pixel 2 from amazon right here: https://www.amazon.com/Google-Pixel-.../dp/B0766GHWM6

Wait for the 3 of course.

[Salodin]

I thought I saw the Pixel 1 on sale for 200. Not a bad deal at all.

Saw that earlier but concerned about the screen burn in issue on the 2+

The specs on the 3 have not been super impressive.

TBQH the main reasons to buy a new cellphone these days are:
1) Your battery is dying
2) You didn't spring for the HQ storage option (noob, play more RPGs)
3) Some physical part of it is broken.

I'm not going to noticed the other incremental improvements (increased RAM, slightly faster processor, improved camera, slightly brighter screen, etc.)

Currently I am considering upgrading phones because the battery is dying, the bluetooth doesn't work very well (~3 foot range), and for some reason the headphone jack doesn't work (acts like it has a control dongle when it doesn't and responds to electrical noise caused by moving the wire).

[Rooney]

TBH I agree. I upgrade every ~4 years or so. As long as you take care of the phone, it'll be fine. There's absolutely no need to upgrade every 1-2 years, provided you have decent storage.

Pixel specific, I've loved the thing. Way more intuitive than an iPhone for me, and it comes with way less bullshit apps from the carrier (at least mine did).

Can probably get a Samsung S7 and be legit set for awhile if you don't want to drop a lot of money on a brand spanking new phone. S7 still does everything I want to even after trying to destroy the battery by playing Tap Titan 2 hardcore for six months.

Or the S8 if you want that infinity display for some reason. Pixel is pretty legit if you can avoid the manufacturer issues.

[Guitarman]

s7 is dying on me after years of hard use, so I'll likely hold out for s10 if the upgrade is decent or else i'll just rebuy a s7, i love the phone. In agreement with others here, no real reason to rebuy a new phone every year unless you need it to show off and fill some sad void in your soul. Highly recommend if you need a cheaper phone option right now.

Recently upgraded my phone between battery issues and my tablet simply not having the RAM for newer mobile games. Not the best since my budget was pretty tight and I'm annoyed at the total internal storage (OS/bloatware takes more than I'd like) and lack of mobile hotspot option, but I'm actually okay with only playing some of the lesser demanding games at home on said tablet while the phone gets those that were crashing on me. Basically what I should expect getting a $100 phone for $55, really. Long as it lasts a couple years I'll be okay, and by then hopefully a better job opportunity will roll around. Reading some of you fuckers spending $50+ on haircuts makes me groan, though.

I'm not sorry. My hair was fucking fabulous.

Anyway fail because I'm retarded and forgot a bottle of chocolate milk from my kid's happymeal and I got off work to find a mess on the passenger seat thanks to the texas heat and oh god the smell its gonna take days to purge it.

[Bardicrune]

The main reason I buy a new phone is that the manufacturer has stopped releasing updates for it. Security issues are just too frequent nowadays to not have an updated OS on most phones. It's why I updated from S4 to S7 and will probably update to S10 sometime after it releases (and probably drops in price).

AT&T is bad and you should feel bad too!

Keep typing an address into a map program, it provides a drop down/auto fill of the exact address I want, I click that, and then in it's infinite wisdom it determines that I actually wanted another city 60 miles away, but wait that road doesn't exist in that city.... so clearly the problem is I wrote the wrong road and city instead of idk I got both right and it made some stupid assumptions. Best part no problems with something just a little farther down that road

I’m really over two of the people I am forced to work with. So have a call from a client asking the status of their vehicle , I check the computer and ask if they can hold so I can verify the info.
Go over to co worker who is responsible for following up/doing the paperwork and he is clueless as usual. I take five extra seconds to ask the cashier if she has the paperwork , she does and basically force him to talk to the client.

How the fuck can you not recall having to physically hand over the paperwork and then just try to say you don’t even know who it is. It was literally printed out less than 15 minutes before the call. On top of that the other day he only charged a client $4 dollars instead of $400 , ugh.
My service manager assured me this is being dealt with but in the meantime it’s a nightmare and we aren’t even busy.
