Personally I buy 1 product and make sure it isn't Apple. I have an Apple phone. Phone is always on silent but the alarm ringer is full volume. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also need it to take photos on building sites. I've gone deep in to the spec of Samsung phones and Apple phones and they both appear able to do this. I've got an apple something at the moment, but genuinely, not interested in what little logo is on the next one. The only phone I ever had that felt like it was a leap forward was a Blackberry back in the day. I guess I'd feel different if I was watching films on it, or doing the snapchats, using amazon, vlogging, dogging or chasing pokemon?

StefanAVFC Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Lads I’m not saying it can’t be on silent and stIl loud. You can be on silent and the ringing volume is still set to loud. You’re just disabling the ringer in that case But go to your sound settings, turn the ringer down then test your alarm. It isn’t as annoying as I made it out but it is annoying as I slept through my alarm twice and couldn’t work out why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact you 'couldn't give a shit' genuinely usually means an Apple will suit you more. You already own one for a start. They're easier to use. They rarely go wrong because they're less configurable by design. The spec is lower but it literally doesn't matter. And if you're not paying (the higher relative price) out of your own pocket then you may as well go for the Apple. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted September 6, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted September 6, 2018 When they resurface a big main road, like a dual carriageway, and then put up those new road surface signs with a 10mph limit. TEN MILES PER HOUR. Has anybody ever even driven close to that when those signs are up? Utterly pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
