The Long Road

It has no survival instinct at all. When its battery is going low, instead of turning everything off and trying to stay alive as long as possible, it decides that it's going to start beeping every 10 seconds. Sure, it's a cry for help "feed me! feed me!" it says, but there's no way to shut it up when I'm not home and don't have anything to feed it with. I mean, at this point, it might as well start flashing its light, hook up with the nearest bluetooth device, and vibrate till enthropy and there wouldn't be much I could do for it.

I know you need to be charged, you dumb fuck, stop beeping at me!

i think a lot of phones do this.

My phone makes some noise about 30 seconds before it shuts itself off. Also not convenient but there isn't much it can do to save power earlier since it has no features other than being a phone.

Who would have thought that LG was smart enough to avoid this...my phone doesn't beep.

my phone only beeps when there's a service change. it decided to start doing this after i'd had it for about a year - and insists on doing it, even though i keep telling it not to.

this wouldn't be too bad - except i ride the subway where there's random service - and my little phone just goes a-beeping. i usually look at the person beside me, accusingly, to throw off the scent.
