I knew it was coming
The other day, my phone started acting up. I notice the touch screen was getting hot in one spot. When I was out in the sun yesterday, I was trying to keep my phone in the shade but it still got hot and shut off. When it shut down, it was in safe mode.
I tried all the tricks the interwebs recommended for resetting the phone but the phone was only ever going to be n safe mode, which means the phone apps wouldn't work but the phone kinda would.
I lost all my text messages. Fortunately, though, my phone backs up stuff to Google Drive and I still have everyone's phone numbers. That's gonna be handy if I want to have a ride home from the aeropourto when I come home. The text messages aren't so important though.
For all the things that life isn't, technology has made life kinda easier. I don't have an address book at home. Everything is in my phone. And backed up to Google who probably knows what time I go to sleep. By the restaurants I googled, I'm sure they know I have a propensity for takeout, be it Chinese, chicken, or Mexican food.
My iPod is a thing of the past. It took a lot of effort, but I was finally able to get the songs from my iPod library uploaded to my Google play account. Now I just hook the bluetooth up and I can play my songs Other than KLOVE or Air1 which is in Dallas (no KLOVE station in Dallas), there's not much radio listening going on in my car these days, unless it's XM.
The young ladies at the Boost Mobile store were kinda helpful. I picked out a phone. They charged me $25 to turn it on. The rest of it I had to figure out on my own. But when I did, Google had all my stuff backed up that I needed. My contacts list was a big one.
I could have lived another year or so with the phone I had. I liked it. It worked. I was happy and so was it. But I guess it was time for a new one.
