▲ 1037 ▼ What is a nifty little feature modern gadgets have lost? (lemmy.world) submitted 2 years ago* by fastandcurious@lemmy.world to c/asklemmy@lemmy.world 805 comments fedilink hide all child comments For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up

Completely defeating the fucking point of turning off touch controls, and making me want to wrap my hands around the throat of the idiot who designed that permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Person264@lemmings.world 3 points 2 years ago* On my buds if I turn on "block touches" and I touch them nothing happens, no jingle or notification. But yeah that does sound like a stupid feature permalink fedilink source parent [–] LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago I'll look into it. The only bluetooth earbuds I currently have are an off brand called SYNRGY. Maybe there's some setting that I'm not aware of to disable touch controls too. I've also considered applying a few coats of clear nail polish. Maybe that would work? I actually don't know anyone who has the official Samsung ones. permalink fedilink source parent
