Wow, that is an issue. Drives me nuts with things like that, simple stuff, like volume being able to turn up high enough.
As much as I like my phone it has me so crazy I'm considering buying another phone. My wife has a cheap Motorola phone and we can blast those apps w/o issue.
This is an issue that should not be on an expensive phone. Ive never had an issue like this and never had an expensive phone. Love my Huawei Mate SE ... and wife has a Huawei even less expensive and no issues with either.
My thinking is just going over to the iPhone for a nice tidy package between my desktop and phone. Your post is discouraging ... *L* but I am not in anyway doing anything soon. Mentally I have a problem spending more then $200 on a phone simply because I love my $200 phones actually that is the most I ever spent on one, normally around $100. .
Does everything I need and more, with that said, I find the iPhone 11 and even the XR interesting at around the $500 mark.
The cool thing about having a less expensive phone is, 1- it does everything the more expensive phone does for what I need it for, in many cases better. 2- I could care less if I lose it, swim with it, drop it, I just replace it, thing is, in 25 years, I never had to replace a phone because of malfunction or damage or loss. Heck, my last phone, an Alcatel Idol I jumped in a stream in the Smoky Mountains with it in my back pocket, this was before "waterproof" was a word in the Apple world. Phone freaked out but still had some life in it, let it dry out for the rest of the day and it started working again until the time came for a new phone .
) oops, my last phone, first time in my life, I did damage it, cracked the screen, no big deal, was time for a new one.
I do extensively research everything I buy in life, oh yeah, I own everything, I dont rent or lease. I buy upfront and get super low rates on my ATT service.
I can see possibly buying an iPhone, now that I am loving this new Mac mini.
I feel the same way as you. I don't need the latest and the greatest, but I do expect the phone to work properly. No one seems to have an answer for me, which is very discouraging.
