I Feel So Sad

Actually , until now , I feel sad . The other day there appeared on my smartphone’s screen permanently , a written details of my device . It is on top of the icons of my apps and can’t see them , when there’s a need to open them . I had it checked by the IT head but to no avail it’s still there . Yesterday , I had it checked up at a famous repair shop on a mall , since the phone provider said it is out of their warranty anymore. The repair shop had it re-programmed after doing all they can to remove that “message” from the screen , but still it’s there . So last night , they told me to leave it with them so they can further look for an operating system that can remove it and gave me a receipt for leaving it with them . I went home like a zombie and sad . What if my bosses and our daughter calls and texts ? I messaged them thru messenger on my netbook when I arrived home . But oh , m y two favorite games will be gone and if it will be re-installed I will have to begin at their lowest levels . Oh my ! I realized , I am now so attached with my phone . I wasn’t even able to sleep well last night . There was no alarm that woke me up this morning . I forgot , husband’s phone could have done that . I hope and pray this evening when I come back for it, it will already be okay .

I am constantly surprised and amazed at the dependency people have on their phones. My phones, land line and cell are for talking, nothing else. I am not dependent on either one of them. Now take my computer away from me and I will have a problem.

It looks like we are similar in this sense. I am not so attached with my phones either but with my laptop I am sort of married with this already. It has been so useful to me in a hundred different ways.

@simone10 They returned it to me the other day with the message on top of the apps still there . They said that its a hardware that is needed to be replaced but would could like getting a new phone . Oh no , i don't want that . ANyway , it is still so operational and looks like new . No need to replace it because after 8 months or more , the service provider will give me a new one since it's under a plan .

@SIMPLYD Sorry to hear that. I hope that the other place is able to fix it. It might be better in the long run to just replace the phone.

I still am , because it isn't yet removed , that device's details . But meanwhile I am using it to call and text . I shall bring it back to Samsung service center tomorrow as they instructed me. Hopefully it can finally be removed - that bothersome missive .

You are like my mother-in-law . Her phone is one the second floor where her bedroom is . Yet she is always downstairs . So her daughter who sometimes would call and not be answered don't ever call on her phone but on father-in-law's phone . I think my dependency will end when i retire , because my boss would always call me for instructions since she's on her office the third floor while i am at the second floor . And also when she's out of town .

@SIMPLYD LOl I guess I ma like that.. people get fed up of calling me and leave a message with hubby or my son. Sometimes if hubby doesn't bring my phone downstairs.. it will be under my pillow until lunch time when I will sometimes start looking for it.

@SIMPLYD Be calm they will have it fixed for you soon. If you have a cloud backup it might be easy for you to get all your phone numbers and stuff put back in it.

I would be so lost without my phone, that it has almost become a part of me. i take it to bed with me, carry it with me throughout the house, take it with me when I go out and about and sometimes I take it with me when I walk the dogs. I guess you could say that i am addicted to my smartphone. If something happened like that to my iPhone, I would literally go nuts. I hope that it can be fixed this time, and you will get it back in a short period of time.

@SIMPLYD It is like losing a friend when I don't have my smartphone with me. I try to take it with me everyday, if I go out from home, and I carry it around with me when I walk around the house, so I have it when I need it.

So you too ha ? I guess , when we discover how useful and handy the smartphone to us , we will be so attached to it that when it's lost or damaged , we seem to have lost a lot .
