@Siphonay
I'm crying now
@Siphonay This is so inspiring to read. Thank you for sharing!
Just for this, this is the best phone I've ever owned
@Siphonay Which phone did you get?
@slightlyflightyone Galaxy S9
@Siphonay I love these. I just got one too. c:
@slightlyflightyone yeah, I never thought I'd get a Samsung until pretty recently. Their change in design really please me, and their Android overlay is packed with features, some super useful and store less, but still very fluffy and nice to have
@Siphonay My Samsung is running Evie Launcher. I also recommend Nova Launcher if you want something a bit less minimalist with some more customization options.

@slightlyflightyone I know both of those, I used them on my previous phone! :)
I'm fine with the Samsung launcher for now though!
Now, why isn't this feature marketed again? Because if it were I wouldn't have considered buying another phone for a single second.
Also I feel like me and other people with impaired hearing shouldn't have to buy an expensive flagship to get this
@Siphonay I know! That is one of the original things I planned to make with OokTech (I got sick and lost a lot of my hearing a few years ago). I made some stuff to get a cheap (like <50 euros) hearing aid thing that could work like a normal hearing aid or you could plug in a 3.5mm cable into it and it would act as an amplifier between the phone/computer/stereo and headphones or speakers.
But patents in the US are horrible and terrible and bad.
@Siphonay I’m glad for you. c:
