(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Just as the title says, I just want to hear others' reasons behind why they dislike having a phone. Reasons they think life would be better without one.
Note that I'm only speaking of cellular phones. I get why phones exist.

I love my phone. I really do. It's just like a mini computer. And that's what I use it as. My android is like my mini Linux box. I just dislike the whole idea of constant contact. Cell phones don't allow for you to shut away anymore. Simply because I have one, I have to keep it with me and on. Parents get upset if I don't answer, people get upset if I don't,etc...

I feel like people take texting way too seriously, too. If I don't answer, they get upset with me, if I answer when I don't want to, they think I'm upset with them. It's a cycle. It's the same reason that Facebook is no good.

I feel like life would be better without it sometimes, but I know that it's such a godsend sometimes, such as when you're in trouble or need to talk to someone then, or just look up directions.

Anyone else feel the same as I do? I'll also have some better reasons once I see some others replies. I have many more reasons to why I don't like them, but I can't remember them right now.

I personally need my phone but If I owned an iphone I would not need that ever because I cannot stand the iphone all the rage with them is ridiculous stop making new ones already ! lol .

That to root your phone you have to go through so much trouble to do it. It should just be a fucking option in the menu that gives you a warning saying that this will void your warranty.

That being said though after rooting my S3 I didn't even install a custom ROM, just a different launcher.

I think you might have missed the general point of the thread, but you did contribute nonetheless :y:

Thread is more about things you like/dislike about phones in general. As in, cell phones as a whole.

Always on nature...sort of dislike it. Thing is you can turn it off but most people feel like they are missing out doing that.
Don't like the plans that come with phones over data charges, along with some apps being so focused on being online.

I hate how Android phones slowly but surely slow down and go to shit. I bought my refurb, and it lasted for about 6 months, until it started overheating. If I do too many tasks at once, my phone gets up to 110 degrees F.

I understand, it would be great to shut it all off once in a while but you can't lol we need out cell phones.
I just got the galaxy s4 on Saturday an I love it! It pretty much replaced my computer. And replaced my remote for my tv.
It really is an amazing phone. I mainly use mine for tasks and texting. But yeah agree about th whole texting thing, if I'm playing cod an someone is texting me and I don't text back within 10 minutes they think I'm mad at them or don't want to talk, I'm just busy! Lol
That's why I'm glad I found out about snapchat, just send them a pic with a quick text of what Ur doing and much easier. That's why I'm not a fan of iPhones , if Ur texting another iPhone they can see if u read there message or not and stalk u till u reply.

But people need there cell phones now a day, parents can contact there kids whenever, directions, need an answer to something on the spot. Loads of things,
