this channel is such a godsend for those looking to transition to dumb phones! Cat should be paying you because this channel has single handedly convinced me to get the S22 ;)
RUclips premium plays when you close it. Same with Spotify. Works really well, which is awesome. I’m on RUclips daily, so if I’m busy and I can’t watch what’s going on I can just listen. The only thing I wish I could change is how it hangs up when you close it on a phone call. If I’m moving around, I don’t want to have to keep it open when I’m on a call.
Hello Any update in this ?? If I long press or double press action button the call doesn't answer without opening the phone.... Please assist .. thank u .
I don't know why smart phones got dumber and dumber for the user to be able to answer the phone,it's like the either having a laugh or they forgot what a phone is for,number of calls I have missed chasing the screen
Hello, Joseph. I left a different comment on one of your other videos. Great work and I appreciate the details you share. However, I noticed on this video that it looks like the description and time stamps don't match the actual video content. It looks like the description and time stamps are for your other video reviewing battery drain on this specific phone. I didn't see anybody else note this in the comments so either it's only showing up incorrect on my computer for some reason, the incorrect description recently showed up, or I'm losing my mind or tripping hard on something I was unknowingly slipped. Am I nuts or am I correct? Thanks!
Does not work exactly like the card on my Android phone as not all apps can be added to it to free up space on the internal storage. Or store music the same way. But it helps.
Have u noticed any play on the hinge with overtime use? Mine has got a little bit of sideways play when its closed. This started after a week of use. Thanks! Watching on my cat s22 flip
Mine had help up well. I’ve even dropped it more than once. It was open the past time it was flipped off of a table because my giant dog caught the table leg. It’s still going strong.
There's a "wake on open" setting under settings also in call settings you can set it to not answer when you open clam shell i have it to not answer by default on open just in case i want to screen the call.
That's actually a pretty good idea very informative thankyou, I will have to do that too, but I was wondering as another persons comment I saw got me wondering, since you can opt to have it not answer your calls as soon as you open the phone, what about opting to not have it hang up when you close it? Is that an option too in the settings? So like say if I were busy doing something, would I be able to still be on call with the phone closed ? Instead of having to keep it open.
@@H.KYM.23 I believe if you put the speaker on you can do that or if you have Bluetooth/wired ear buds you can do that. I usually have phone in my front pocket while on it closed. As long as ear buds are connected or speaker is on it'll stay on closed.
Hi, can the browser apps and youtube be easily deleted from this? I only want whatsapp, spotify, and maps. Also, is it possible to implement parental controls? For myself, because I have to babysit myself. Thank you!!! Yer a legend!
You can't do that directly on the phone, but there are many desktop applications to remove these kinds of apps from Android phones. Just google how to delete pre-loaded apps on Android and follow the steps:)
Is there a way to keep the call going from the phone app after closing the phone? I like using Bluetooth for calls and it’s be super convenient to put it in my bag while I’m walking around and talking n such
But what about if you are on a call and you have it on speaker and close it? I tried it cut the call off, don’t know if there is a settings switch or not
do you know how to add more languages (only english, spanish and french) on this phone? is it bcause of this limited android go version? Great videos by the way, many thanks for ur support.
tenho esse telefone ,ele é incrível , muito bom mesmo ! Só tem um defeito , o teclado dele praticamente não interage em quase nada no sistema operacional do aparelho!
How do I get caller id to show up on the front screen? I don't want to answer calls when I don't know who's calling
Great videos to answer questions that no one else may thing of 😊
Glad you enjoyed it

Have you tried it with an SD card? I’ve read it’s iffy with them so interested to see what your experience is

How does the Caterpillar S22 microphone sound?
Much needed thanks
No problem - hope you enjoyed it! 😀

my question is about maps - did the voice assistance still works when its closed? very useful for moto drivers... did it?
I got you: ruclips.net/video/3S6yZHLuNtU/видео.html
This video I made covers it all in much more detail than I can write here. 😁
But what about if you are on a call and you have it on speaker and close it? I tried it cut the call off, don’t know if there is a settings switch or not
Hey man, does this phone have a headphone jack?
Sadly not, it does come with a USB-C to aux, but no jack.
Wonder if YT premium would still play
It does
How do we use the green call button to actually make a call when we select a contact on screen?
does it continue playing audio/music files while closed?
Yes it does, speaker is in the bottom left so carries on.
do you know how to add more languages (only english, spanish and french) on this phone? is it bcause of this limited android go version? Great videos by the way, many thanks for ur support.

Can you use the signal messaging app on this device?
Yep, you can.
What about youtube premium? Does that work even after closing
Yes. RUclips music premium works too, with lid closed
Yes
Does the phone work with Bluetooth headphones? And is the sound quality different than on a smartphone?
Mine works great with my Bluetooth headphones and Spotify :)
Cat s22 is smartphone
Main issue is the battery life, BT drains a ton, but otherwise she works mighty fine with cheap Smokin buds from good old Skullcandy lol
Can I use instagram on this phone?
Yes you can, video in the pipeline but it's download-able and usable on the phone.
#Thanks bro Givin valuable information
😍 Thanks!
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
so be testing this with youtube premium.
your video segments are incorrect... they're displaying the ones from the battery video
Eeek! 😲 Thanks for that, I need to change it!
