Also, if something is working weird, you can always reboot the phone. To do so on most phones, hold the power button long enough for the emergency menu to appear and choose reboot. A reboot may be all you need and not a factory reset.

"Reset APP preferences" brought back the keyboard.

This my phone model:

I have it now for nine years... :shock:

The only thing I had to replace was a failing battery a few years ago.

There's no integrated toaster ovens, vacuum cleaners, fire extinguishers or any other crap. It's a phone!

And it's not the size of a dinner plate (in contrast with the size of the eyes of people who see me pull it out and flip it open... :rofl: ).

It ain't goin' anywhere. 8)

But it's one that looks a lot like the phones on Star Trek. So you are way ahead of your time compared to those flat things the others have. They can't open it so nicely in style.

And if someone is droning on and boring you just take it out, flip it open and say" Beam me up Scotty." :rofl:

How did you do it? Even if I get used to this phone, I may have privacy concerns.

Another option is a Linux phone:

This phone has a removable battery and dip switches to disable the mic, camera, and other stuff.

I'll check these out on lunch time. Can I pull out the front camera? If not, I can just put a dab of water pump glue over the lens.

the first of those linked (the DuraXE Epic) doesn't even have a camera as it's a "Non-camera" version

I've had nothing but flip phones. My first one was an analog Motorola flip (just a flip lid that hid the keypad) I bought back in 2000. Then came a tiny Nokia flip, a flimsy flip that got a fissure in the case near the hinge a few years after I bought it. That made it stop working because the case was holding a component of some kind to the board (I did an autopsy on it after I bought the new one - why they didn't just solder it escapes me :facepalm: ). Then in 2012 I bought the C414M. It's been faithful ever since.

So I've been doing Trekkie stuff with them for quite a while... :mrgreen:

Go for the Handyman's Secret Weapon. It's impervious to all those pesky EM wavelengths that might be used to spy on you. :mrgreen:
