What technical issues did you ignore for an extended period of time? (leminal.space)

On my old phone I had an issue with the proximity sensor and front facing camera. This led me to holding my phone backwards to take photos and being unable to hang up phone calls.

I think I put up with this for a year and a half.

I did end up figuring out the issue with the proximity sensor but opening up my phone to reconnect the camera module was too much effort for me.

This kept happening to me. Then, I realized my account was compromised. Someone in China was also using it to listen to music. It kept pausing every time they started playing a song.

So every time I give up and stick with my silence I’m letting some jackass in China win?

I don’t know why your Spotify was pausing! Just thought I’d share my experience, in case it helped you or someone else researching this in the future.

I can’t tell you how many times I have been saved by finding a 2 year old forum post with the same issue that I was having.

Man you’d think they’d put in some kind of “Music started on X device so we’re stopping it here” message for your scenario instead of making you sleuth it out like Mulder and Scully
