Rant : Stupid smartphone use of proximity sensor during phone call (lemmy.ml)

After stupid update of "phone application", had to tape over the proximity sensor ! ... otherwise there's no way to reliably shut the screen during a phone call. Whenever the screen is on, my face touching the screen triggers any stupid functions 🙄 Had to try and test a few location because it was not located at the selfie camera. Once again it shows we are not the customers ; we are the product 😑

You can easily debloat all of that bloatware that comes not just from China, but from USA and everywhere else in the world. I would not define that stuff as malware.

You can have a look at this non root smartphone guide https://lemmy.ml/post/54596
