Think about it... Why does the phone need a new OS every month... What are all of these software updates? Remember the software update disclosures/agreements are different that those provided when you buy the phone.... What happens to the data every night when your phone auto-syncs.... Look at your plan data use and see how much gets used each time it syncs...
It us a freaking phone for fucks sake... A camera and a web browser... Flip phones never needed to sync every night and change the OS every 30 days... What changed??? All this sensors... Light and motion and gps....
agree entirely. I just ditched my smartphone last week for a flip phone - its crazy how many things even I took for granted, and it has been difficult adjusting to not having all of those tools/internet at my fingertips whenever i needed it. But Im trying to stick with it because i know its better for my happiness, and better for my privacy
You can overcome a lot of the basic tools apps with a wifi device or something like an old palm pilot.. While most flip phones have basic cameras, calculators and browsers....Something with no carrier controlled connection to the "source"/corp website adds a nice barrier to the sensors which could be misused...and Viola.. not monthly OS updates, no nightly sync.....
Any phone that shows the screen or increases the backlight when you look at it is doing this. Plenty of android phones will increase the backlight so you can see the time and notifications when you look at the screen.
This can be turned off in iOS. Not sure about android. Someone else may know.
I dont think that's completely accurate, I just did a dive on the phone sensors.
The automatic backlight adjustment uses a photodiode. A camera photodiode doesn't need to blast out IR for luminosity information. Infact the photodiode actually has to FILTER OUT IR frequencies (from the sun or light bulbs) to give an accurate luminosity measurement since the human eye can't detect the IR waves.
It's the proximity sensor that uses an infrared LED and an IR light detector. The LED shines invisible light at objects and gets reflected back to the sensor for object distance calculations. It's used to turn off the display and touch controller if you are holding up a phone to your ear for a phone call, or if it's in your pocket.
It means a woman with a lippy vagina that resembles a roast beef sandwich when viewed in certain configurations. The lore surrounding the derogatory term "roastie" implies that sleeping around has resulted in the fore-mentioned state.
I wasn’t referring to the automatic backlight feature that most devices have to dim in bright surroundings or brighten in dark surroundings, but a feature that turns ON the backlight (from being off in its resting mode) when the user looks at the screen.
But yes, it makes sense that this would be specifically for proximity, because to determine the direction of the face, I’m sure it just uses the actual camera lense.
There is no regular option to disable the proximity sensor on Android, and im assuming on iPhone. If you hold your phone to your ear while making a phone call and your screen goes black and touch is disabled, your IR LED and sensor is still being used.
You can however, disable your sensors in developer mode. It will give you a quick access menu option to disable/enable quickly. Disabling sensors will include your microphone, location, camera, IR, and ambient light sensors. This is really useful if you are tired of your phone listening to you all the time and worried someone might be accessing your camera.
Enable developer mode - Go to: Settings>About Phone>Software Information> Tap: "Build Number" 5 times to enable developer mode.
Go back to settings, scroll to bottom. Go to: Developer Option>Quick settings developer tiles> Enable "Sensors off" setting.
Now swipe down from the top of you phone, you'll have a "Sensors Off" button at the top left underneath your date/time.. You may have to swipe down a second time to see the full list of phone option tiles.
Just remember to disable option if you receive a phone call or need your location lol.
Yeah, let your kids use your phone some more so the pedos get all their pics. Take a pik of your kids in the tub and they got it too. Wake the fuck up people.

Agreed. I have trouble trusting tech advice from some roastie who cares so little about privacy that she have tic tok installed on her phone.
Upvoted without knowing meaning

You asked.
Edit:- Well you didn't ask but now you know.
Does this mean the roastie can pull them down to her knees????
Asking for a friend!!!!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Only if she is a Carny at the local circus.
Ha ha that's funnier than I'd have imagined
It pretty off the hook really and the way it gets thrown around sometimes can be amusing. It could be used as a replacement for THOT for example.

Mine doesnt.
Every device of mine for many years has had tape covering the camera. Can't make it too easy for em.
☝️This.
