  • It depends a bit on what bags I carry, what kinda pockets I have, what my needs are for that specific trip and what temperature it is.

    Front right:

    • keys (2 house keys, 2 USB thumb drives, some decorative key fobs and a carabinier to attatch my bike lock key that needs to be inside the lock while riding)
    • 1 or 2 lighters
    • tobacco, filter and papers for rolling cigarettes (when I’m wearing a shirt with front a pocket, the rolling stuff goes there)
    • anything that’s able to scratch my phone screen

    Front left:

    • phone (pixel 5)
    • wallet (random leather wallet from amazon, that held up surprisingly well over the past ~5 years)

    In my backpack for longer transit/going to the park etc:

    • wallet in the backpack now
    • headphones (bluetooth IEMs)
    • whatever novel I’m currently reading
    • umbrella
    • water bottle
    • a backup reusable shopping bag
    • flashlight (some cheap USB rechargeable LED light with both a focused beam and a bigger LED in the handle for illuminating larger spaces)
    • sometimes rolling stuff for joints inside a waist bag

    When grocery shopping:

    • other, bigger backpack with several reusable shopping bags

    When its hot:

    • a towel that I often just tuck in my pants a bit so it can dry better while hanging from my waist, when dry I usually keep it in my front left pocket
    • usually also a folding hand-held fan, in my backpack when I happen to carry it, otherwise front right pocket

    When I go out but don’t want to carry my backpack I put the following inside the waist bag and carry that across my chest:

    • cigarette rolling stuff, unless I’ve got a front pocket on my shirt
    • sometimes also joint rolling stuff
    • keys
    • wallet
    • usually headphones

    Idk if this much detail was wanted but here you go lol





  • Idk, I never really have these issues nowadays. And even if I do, they’re not so bad to get used to IMO.

    If it doesn’t want to go landscape, hold it vertical for a sec, and go landscape again. Shaking won’t help usually. I don’t remember the last time I had to do this.

    For situations like laying in bed there is the possibility to turn off auto rotate. But for me personally, it’s, again, not really an issue. I think my OEM did some improvement of the auto rotate feature that it barely ever accidentally rotates while in bed, no idea how it detects that. But maybe I’m just subconsciously holding my phone in a way that is not aligned with my head and more aligned with gravity, idk.

    I feel like these issues were much worse a few years back.
