I usually use kitchen tinfoil and superglue. Works fine and stays working unlike the usual culprits.

I don't like this combo of superglue and aluminium foil, because the superglue becomes brittle and unreliable.
I'd suggest to use something like aluminium tape. Sticks like hell.

FUCK ME !!! :scared:
Last Friday a friend / ex-colleague asked me to pass me my CV so he could hass him to some company that's recruiting, one of many subcontractor that do the same stuff I was doing at my ex company. Quality contorl for Airbus, airframe. Well at least I am in my confort zone / operational.
A minute ago that company phoned me, yeah...we arranged for an appointment tomorrow with her, who is the HR girl I guess, and another girl, probably the team manager on the Airbus plant, to assess the technical part of it. I guess.
Anyway she told me the interview will be held over the phone with " TEAMS ". Well, whatever. So I just googled for this thing, it's an app you download on your phone, made by freaking Microsoft. Takes 258MB on your phone, I barely have enough space to install that thing, after having deleted a few apps.
so I go to install it.... it asks to create an account, hmmm.... OK, I will swallow that pill for now. So I give it a username and password, then it asks me for my... CREDIT CARD DETAILS ?!! :wtf:
Says you can use the free version, we won't take any money on your account... but we require that you gives us you credit card details anyway ! :wtf:
FUCK THAT !!!!
So I found another link to download the app. It didn't ask for my credit card... or maybe it would have a few clicks later, once it had managed to install on my phone but.... it REFUSES to install, says " This version of TEAMS is not compatible with your phone "! :horse:
OK the phone might be a bit old, it's a LG Nexus 4 with Android 5.1.1
Wikipedia says the phone was released i November 2012...
Maybe upgrading Android might do it but I don't think so... think I already upgraded it a while back, and it took so much space that I could not install any app, and TEAMS wnats no less than 250Mo so it's a no no.
So.... I am fucked. Well, THEY are fucked, they won't have the honour, pleasure, delice of having me in their company ! :-DD
Company is " Expleo ", IIRC it's the low cost branch of I can't remember what sub-contractor that was competing with my ex company, which means they would pay even less than my ex job.... well, still better than nothing, short term, I guess.
OK, will call that HR girl back to tell her it won't work, sorry mam, I tried... if they can do a normal phone call, or just a freaking real interview in an office like people used to do in the old time...
That's what you get when you rely on stupid modern technology, you just can't rely on it for anything important. If it works, it works, but when it refuses to work, you're fucked. :horse:

You don't have to sign in with teams and you can use the web version usually. They will send out a web invite for it.
It's fucking shit so YMMV anyway. One of our outsourcers uses it.
As for it not being compatible with your phone, are you running some 5+ year old Android crate? That's usually the cause :popcorn:
As for interviews, they are all Teams or Zoom these days. You have to suck it up if you want the money.
Vince:
Yep BD it's old, as I said the phone is from 2012 so 10 year old now !
Yes they sent me an e-mail with a link / "invite "to join the meeting. I clicked on that, it then asked me to install the app. I click to do that, it opens up the " Android Store " , which then immediately says, in red letters : " Sorry your phone is not compatible with this version of the app ".
Well too bad !!! :palm:
