This is Gentoo. There will be someone here using a 110 baud acoustic coupler with a Motorola shoebox phone to browse the forum

of course, i am not going to write everything from that phone with the numpad as keyboard input method so lemme elaborate on a pc.

this is one of those cheap 4g capable chinese feature phones, its based on a cheap unisoc ums 9117s which has 64mb ram and 128mb of flash and runs a barely known os called Mocor OS RTOS. i did a bit of research and other than dumping the firmware and running a few test menus , which most of the intresting ones are different or missing on this, there is not much to do with this other than call-text-opera mini. even though the phone seems to have j2me games made by gameloft that are literally paid for every 30 days to unlock with a code there doesnt seem to be any known method of installing j2me apps onto these. the final thing i will tell about is that after playing with this thing alot i found a second web browser that can be accessed when downloading a file from opera mini which is different and not normally accessible from the main menu in any way. i hate that this is basically symbian under the hood that is locked the hell down but it does work as a volte feature phone

Moved from Documentation, Tips & Tricks to Gentoo Chat.

I'm still using a Nokia 5140i mostly, from 2005, with its original battery, but it has been starting to show some glitches like restarting when a call comes in... and the 2G network around here is getting pretty bad, calls just interrupting etc., and soon probably gone completely so need to get into something more modern... I maybe guess.

I haven't browsed the internet using it since... maybe 11 years ago but maybe I should try it now soon.

One of the main cons of using a tiny phone screen is i thought i posted this in gentoo chat .... thanks for moving anyway. 2G and 3G is being shut down globally and now in Turkey aswell, also to prevent imei spoofing unused imei numbers get deactivated and mom's old(ish) nokia 6063i that could have also posted something here is also deactivated so i couldnt do it with that either.

I am quite sad about it while testing using a new smartyparty phone I got mainly due to its heat camera, a (y)Ulefone Armor Mini 20T Pro 5G, I miss the old one for so many things already... like using a calculator and the alarm just felt so much more simple somehow!

i mostly miss playing actually good j2me games like diamond rush or prince of persia which i sunk significant time into as a kid
