Pixi go bye-bye
May. 2nd, 2012 03:09 amSo there I am Thursday night and ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
zarhooie is calling. I can't find my football field1. By the time I've found it, the call's gone to voicemail. She rings me again. This time, as I'm fumbling the headset onto my face, the phone blinks and goes dark, and the familiar glowing white Palm logo appears. The thing's gone and done and rebooted on me.
It's always been a little stroppy, but this marks the first time it's actually crashed as the result of a phone call in. Kat keeps calling back, and she gets me as the phone's rebooting -- the screen is actually still on the logo, but thanks to the headset I can take the call. (Note to others: if your phone has done the same thing and now only displays one page of apps and widgets and settings, not the three it's supposed to have, reboot the fucker and don't answer any calls that come in while it's rebooting.)
I figure that enough actually *is* enough, and hie me on down to the phone shop the next evening after I get out of work2. ( Read more... )
I have yet to name the phone. It's a Motorola Photon.
1: Bluetooth headset. From "You had to run all the way across a football field to get your headset!" when the charger lived on a plug on the other side of my actually very tiny studio apartment.
2: Well, first I have to pick up my car from the shop. They still can't manage to duplicate the sound that's alarming me, but I've narrowed it down to a strong correlation with the brakes, and the lady advises that some brake noise does occasionally happen, and they've adjusted the brakes. So I'm feeling OK.
