Like Beckham

I was feeling a little salty about my Galaxy S7. This thing cost me quite a bit of change so you'd have to excuse me if I was being dramatic about the latest piece of consumer tech being unable to process a function as basic as outputting sound from your speakers, you sorry excuse of a cell phone. I shouldn't have to resort to workarounds if I've got the latest and greatest in smartphone technology. It would've been the perfect device if it wasn't for this one little issue.

Luckily, I finally solved it. All I had to do was bend it. Literally, with one thumb on the bottom and my other fingers on the top. Since I squeezed it, the sound doesn't fade away anymore. I can finally watch my Twitch streams and YouTube videos in peace. It's such a strange solution to such a dumb problem that I can't help but be baffled by how this thing was released in this state. Now that every thing works as it should, I not complaining anymore.

Reminds me of the time when my PSVita buttons were getting stuck. The solution? Blow into it. Worked like a charm.
