i feel theres a difference in maturity between our solutions

[Italy]

if you ignore it for long enough it will shut up
despite its promises, i have found that asking it to “keep trying forever” does not actually make it keep trying forever

@Arete

do any new options become available to you if you plug the phone in to your computer?

Unfortunately I’d have to trust the computer. With an input on the phone screen

@Arete

if you drain the battery as fast as possible presumably it will turn off eventually

• if you’re doing suggestion #1 this will slightly delay it, and you would want to remember to unplug the phone once you’re done looking

This is doable but it’s at 45% so draining will take a while

@Arete

if you take the phone to a bootleg screen fixer place they can possibly fix the screen

This is true, but I don’t plan to repair the phone, I plan to replace it, since it’s old as fuck and very bad anyway

@Arete

if you, like, give up on the phone as a lost cause and smash it with a hammer or something it would probably also break the alarm?

This is also true.

water. probably wont completely fry it but a quick dip will probably put it into emergency shutdown

I’ve learned this because sometimes I come home to my girlfriend still asleep and her alarm having given up.

[Jaiden]

putting your phone in water is like actually tech in this scenario if you want to stop the noise as soon as possible and cant just throw the phone in a ditch

[Italy]

of course experiences across devices could be different and i find my device in particular to be largely antithetical to the concept of an “alarm” but fortunately i am a light enough sleeper that i can place my phone on a wooden surface set to vibrate and that’s usually enough to wake me up

[May]

I want to ensure it has maximal trade-in value and water damage will decrease the amount of money I get from it

[Italy]

have you tried waiting for your phone to get better

[Jaiden]

okay yeah if you cant put your phone in a pillow chamber for the next like half an hour just take the battery out. if you die its not on me tho

[Italy]

i accidentally shocked my phone like a month ago and it turned a solid white and the screen split in half and the display was all fucked and then it literally just got better after i went to sleep

[May]

It’s an iphone and I dont have whatever fucking special screwdrivers they want

[May]

It did break in lab so maybe it breathed in too much chloroform

[Italy]

@May

iphone

so sorry for your loss

[Italy]

it must be horrible having to use an iphone

[Jaiden]

you are getting 2 bottles of sprite on trade in tops

[Arete]

Force restart iPhone

try doing a force restart [you may have to Guess about the timing for step 4] and see if that stops the alarm

[Italy]

anyways i don’t think phones run off this logic at the moment?

[Italy]

may not be the case because i don’t touch apple products with a ten foot pole but all you really need is like. a hot plate

[Jaiden]

no they do have Apple Screws for Apple Devices
