The Cat S22 ramble

This phone fucking rocks. Got it yesterday. Perfect phone for digital minimalists like myself. Best phone out there!

[@solanumtuberosa]

For me I'm going with the Samsung folder 2 as it is available at 40% of the price here and its even dumber as it only goes to nougat.

I got a dumb phone, a smart phone, this looks just right.

[@bravestarr19]

The screen probably turned off because there is a glitch with this phone. You have to turn the adaptive brightness off and keep the screen brightness at like 30 percent and higher or the internal display won't turn on when you flip the phone open

I should have been more clear when I was describing the problem. Everything on the phone worked fine, but the battery on the phone would quickly run down from 20% to dead in about 5 minutes. When I plugged it in afterwards, it would quickly charge back up to 20% and go slower from there. Most likely a battery issue. I agree that it's a good phone though.

@@VisualTorrent Oh that sucks. I have no issues with my unit it works great

[@ThePsirens]

Whats your battery life like? 2000mAh is not much at all for something that can run android.

[@registerloginmodafoca]

Yes, I've seen people saying that it discharge in a day or so. But I think this is a phone that is not supposed to be used like a smartphone. Ok it has android and lots of smart features, but still, should be used as a feature phone, haha. I didn't catch that before. But yeah. I think this phone should be used in simple ways. Music, calls an eventual voice message. Etc. It is made for someone who is not looking to use the phone 6 hours a day. I still think it's very cool.

[@registerloginmodafoca]

For now I think this is the best option in the market rn. There's this other one called Kyocera, I think, which could be a potential competitor, but I don't think it's easy to buy like this one. But I could be wrong.

Lasts me about a day and half with light to moderate usage.

[@VisualTorrent]

I got around 4 1/2 hours of SOT with regular usage (web browsing, youtube, spotify, etc.) It should last a day minimum, probably 2 if you mind your usage and try to go digital minimalist like the cool kids.

@@registerloginmodafocaты прав.. незачем сидеть в телефоне, в интернете целый день..Телефон должен делать звонки, а не быть игровой приставкой.. Смартфоны воруют наше личное время из жизни, которого и так мало..

[@blessedlife93]

Only draw back is the texting. If it could just be basic t9 that’d be awesome

[@VisualTorrent]

The on screen keyboard was surprisingly responsive, but I could never get the T9 to work. Would have been nice to not use the screen and rock it like an actual flippy.

[@teacupanimates]

you can download a thing on it to make it work t9

[@Sunnydayfreeway]

I think you have to activate the t9 on the keyboard settings by disabling screen keyboard

[@pedrog1580]

Can you connect any smart watcher? And do you know if it works with car play?

[@VisualTorrent]

I imagine that it would depend on the smartwatch. Apple watches would be a no go, but ones that work with android would be fine. I would check on the play store beforehand to see if the app supports android 11. Carplay will not work on this phone, and there's no way around that from what i've gathered.

[@leocristal908]

I've been able to connect my huawei gt 2 watch perfectly fine. It works perfectly with the Health app as well. Hope it helps.

[@user-fz7hq2wx9u]

Uclock sim???

[@VisualTorrent]

Technically the phone is locked to T-Mobile, but I was able to instantly unlock it for use on AT&T. Don't know what other networks it supports. Kimovil is a good website for that.

[@Fellow-no5pf]

@@VisualTorrent Is there a guide anywhere online to unlock it for AT&T? Im getting one but will need to run it for at&T and not sure how to do it

[@VisualTorrent]

@@Fellow-no5pf Sorry for the late reply. It will be in the settings, but I forgot exactly where. It should be called something like "device unlock" or maybe "network unlock". It should unlock instantly without any additional steps.
