You didn't mention audio.
I particularly love the feature where you can only listen to music by turning off "Do Not Disturb", because that way my morning walk is guaranteed to be interrupted by some random caller wanting to tell me that Bill Gates personally wants to give me money, rather than listening to the music I had queued up as I walked out the front door.
Oh, also, the predictive keyboard is brilliant, it forgets common words after about a week, so then you are forced to spend extra time typing the same thing again and again, which is great for finger dexterity training. Speaking of which, I absolutely love the autocorrect which changes words completely out of context, even if you spelled the word correctly, not to mention that adding an "s" to a long word to get a plural requires that you type the entire word.
What phone are you using which does this?
My phones (stock Google android and GrapheneOS) both had settings for do not disturb mode where media playback can be disabled. I assume that's causing the issue but for me it was not default.
It's a Nokia X20, running stock Android, currently 14, but it's been that way on Android for as long as I remember.
That's gotta be a Nokia thing. I've been listening to music with do not disturb on when sleeping for years, never been an issue on samsung, oneplus, huawei, or pixel phones I've had.
That's pretty stupid of a feature. Never knew that was a thing since I think Samsung implements their Do Not Disturb functionality differently.
Great points! I love it!
