On my old phone I had an issue with the proximity sensor and front facing camera. This led me to holding my phone backwards to take photos and being unable to hang up phone calls.

I think I put up with this for a year and a half.

I did end up figuring out the issue with the proximity sensor but opening up my phone to reconnect the camera module was too much effort for me.

    Any time an android phone I own gets older than, say, a year, the volume controls get more and more sluggish. I feel like it’s a form of planned obsolescence, but I haven’t ever heard of anyone else talking about it.
