No, not necessarily. Depending on the circumstances of the death, the person may be taken straight to a mortuary, as in my mom's case; she died at home, and was under hospice care--their doctor signed off on the death and that was that. Since there was nothing suspicious about her death, and no need for an autopsy, she went straight to the mortuary.

S21 Ultra send text over blue tooth

TonyDiF
I have noticed that when I push the voice button on my steering wheel that google assistant comes up on my phone but the voice is muted on my truck speakers while on bluetooth. But if I connect by USB cable everything works fine. I have been on google and did a search and this issue seems to have been around for awhile and I have not been able to find a solution. Does anyone know of a solution to get google assistant to work over
bluetooth ? I do not think I should have to plug a USB cable into my phone every time I step into my truck just to send a text message.

Black and White TV

That's interesting. I was trying to look in to it.
I hadn't noticed.
70's TV like Columbo look OK on flat screen HD., but that's in Colour.

Off topic:
This coincides with something I noticed only a few weeks ago, more related to curved CRT screens and aspect ratio.

A BBC channel were re - running Fawlty Towers from the early 70's. I recorded them on a HDD PVR to watch later.

Notice the set assistant, or whatever title, crouching to I think attach a fake roast duck (iirc) to the foot of Manuel to slip on as he came quickly back through the swing doors.

Maybe we would have seen it if home video recorders were a thing at that time. They knew they would get away with it for a split second on a broadcast, or else CRT TV's would not have shown that area.

I'm using the 1.22 version frm google play. I've come across the xda forum post but the only solution there is cmd in admin but bcs my pc is windows 10 I've only used powershell window in the sdk platform tools folder. when i open cmd as admin in my pc it [C:\WINDOWS\system32>] that's the prompt i gt so ofc it didnt work fr fastboot fr me. I've also rooted my device later on n did in phone itself in both twrp n flashify app where i can flash the image but one i click reboot to recovery it goes to the strtup page of lenovo and that's it. now if i press power & volume key it goes to a test window (https://www.droid-hive.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/unbrick-lenovo-a6000-stock-rom-6.jpg) but the fastboot & recovery option just shows blank when i click on it

U.S. carriers - scheduled dates for 3G shutdown

Well I get 5G sporadically here in LA. Some spots are super strong, some spots it goes in and out.

And Verizon has a strong 4G network here, that I can always really on it all day for a strong signal. It also has helped in battery life as well.

Yeah, considering that you are in one of the most densely populated areas in the US, that does not sound too good for 5G.

Like I said, it sucks now, and it probably always will around here.

otterbox symmetry case, dropped phone on concrete and corner of phone still got cracked: normal?

puppykickr said:
It is very hard to tell.
From what you posted, there was already previous damage to the device in the same area.
Furthermore, it is up to the case manufacturer to specify exactly what perimeters are considered in their drop testing.

For all we know, the test may be only valid for a drop where the device lands flat onto its back.

A corner landing is, of course, one of the worst case scenarios, as it places the most force onto the tiniest of areas.

Most devices are designed to come apart (to absorb the force with less/no real damage) with such an impact, and a case may actually prevent the device from coming apart- thereby actually increasing the possibility of damage.

Even worse, I have seen cases that double (or more) the weight of the actual device- and this will add to both the possibility of a drop and the damage from a drop.

Case (pun intended, lol) in point...
a few years ago, my ol'lady and I both got identical phones.
She got the glass scteen protector, and the rubber surround that covers the back and all four sides and eight corners.
I left my device bare, just as it came.

Within a short time, she had already broke the glass.
Not sure if it is just the screen protector, or if it is actually the screen itself- but mine has been dropped at least as many times, and still has a pristine screen.

My corners are dinged up pretty good, and there are nicks around the bezel, but that is it.

Hers looks like I shot it with my .22.

Anyway, I also have a supercheap Poblano VLE5 which took a dive out of the SUV and landed right onto the top right corner.
The phone blew apart (as it is designed to do) and had to be reassembled.
The corner has a nasty chip, but no screen damage, and the device is fine otherwise.

These are only my experiences, and yours may differ.

What will be the same, however, are the physics.
Anything that adds weight to the device adds energy to a fall.
Anything that prevents a device from coming apart upon impact is preventing the built in protection from functioning properly.

Luckily, your device is new, so it may very well be worth a screen replacement if and when this becomes necessary.

I know how annoying seeing such damage can be, but this is what will happen to any fragile device that we take and use everywhere.

As for your actual questions, to actually be able to give a real answer, you would need two identical devices and one case- then subject them both to the same drop test(s).

As you bought the case second hand, I doubt that any warranty would be in effect.
Also, whatever warranty that would have been in effect with a new case would undoubtedly have major restrictions as to what was actually covered by the warranty.

For what it's worth, Ihave seen those OtterBox cases, and they look very nice.
It is the price that keeps me away.
