Destroying my phone

MadPatrick

I hate my Samsung Nexus S, a viscous hatred that seeps into my bones. So I'm getting a new one after 22 months of bullspit. It's the only source of stress in my life. It's painfully slow, I get error messages asking if I want to close the app or wait, I wait because I know it's coming. When my alarm goes off and I pick up the phone to snooze just before I press snooze the screen flips 90 degrees and the snooze button goes where the dismiss button was and vice versa.

I was planning on using my old phone till it upset me and then either flake it a the ground with all my force, or indeed just snapping the fucker, at least trying.

But there must be a better way, there's gotta be something that will give me the satisfaction of destroying the damn thing while also being more devastating than just breaking it. What say you??

Calm down, just do a factory reset. Android slows and gets buggy over time just like windows. A factory reset and it will be like new.

you know you can lock the screen rotation so it doesnt flip right? and if your apps are slow either do a reset or clear a bunch out you could be low on memory, having a million of them open at once will slow everything down as well, closing an app doesnt fully close it it just puts it in the background unless you wipe all your open apps.

--LOS--

sounds like a case of a bad workman and his tools

just delete some stuff off your phone and turn off auto-rotate. Bam! brand new phone

Dig a hole in your garage then put the phone in a safe and bury the safe in the hole. Then you move house and watch hilarity ensue.

No, the thing's fucked. I get all the latest updates, deleted all my pics and most of the apps and still no change. It drops calls and shits itself every couple of days so I have to restart it. I don't live in a cave away from civilisation so I got told all the solutions suggested here.
I got my Galaxy 2 today so I might take a hammer to it. I don't have a blender

Complete factory reset?

MadPatrick

Not a complete factory reset. My bad.

I really don't see how a factory reset will destroy it though

Bring a fold up chair with you, drop the phone in the middle of O'Connell St, Shout out at the top of your voice that there's a big wrap of heroin inside it. Now sit back and enjoy your own remake of "Dawn of The Dead" as all the nearby junkies tear it apart to feast on the supposed goodness inside.
If you've gotten your new phone by then, record it.

Do a factory reset and flog it on Ebay. Then laugh as you imagine it annoying the feck out of some other poor backstard
