A "phone safety feature creating riding hazard"

The problem with Google's "lowering volume to safe level" feature is causing an extremely unsafe issue for motorcycle riders needing navigation. I already take measures to protect my hearing by wearing ear plugs while I ride and need the volume I set to stay set without having to select any prompt on my phone. I can not access my phone while riding and even if I could it would still be unsafe to do so. We need this issue to be fixed immediately and to have the ability to disable this function now. Please upvote this post to get as much attention as possible. This safety feature is putting my life at risk to protect my hearing. I don't need hearing when i am dead. Thanks Google.

Stolen phone.

So a few months ago I had my phone stolen. I have that phone number suspended instead of insurance covering for a new phone I added another line and got a brand new phone and number. I was wondering if I had insurance replace the old one now would I get in trouble if I have it to a friend afterwards?

dumb phone that’s good at being a phone?

Hello!

I recently got a kyocera digno 902kc, and it’s been great so far, but with the news of t-mobile phasing out 4g in the coming years I want to think of the future.

I don’t need anything fancy. just something that can handle calls and texts (and volte for this modern era). I have an mp3 player and an ereader so I’m all set without extra bells and whistles.

I would also like it to look similar to the 902kc, or just like a keitai in general. mainly want a flip phone style but not terribly against other styles like candy bars.

Thank you in advance for any helpful commenters
