My tracfone wasn't even that smart, but I found it turned on and
listening 3 times in about a month. The only clue was a low level beep
when the battery was about done. Since I wasn't married to it, I let the
battery run down and now the sim card has been expired for about 2
years. My wife of 31 years next week, has its twin I do keep paid up so
she can stay in touch at the rest home where she is in the hospice
program from COPD. The first time I found it live I thought I had
forgotten to turn it off, so I started logging it, 2nd time I had turned
it off an hour prior. 3rd time I said to hell with it, cuz the only
thing they might hear is me muttering to myself. I am living alone, and
my muttering is definitely NSFW.
Take care, stay safe and well Nik.

Definitly. I'm a bit worried about the "asc" without controls and the
"mute-mic-led" beeing utter useless while the "mute-speaker-led"
works
as expected. Guess why? BTW, my smartphone is a Siemens C55. The
smartest thing it can do is turning itself off at 10:00 pm :)
Nik Hi all!
I've an interesting problem: On my T14 the speakers are on hw:0
and are linked to the speaker-led (led on: mute, led-off: unmute -
looks like a hardware thingie as toggling the led toggles the
speaker). And there's a ghost-mic on hw:0 that looks like a
loopback device from PCM-out to sound-input.
HDMI is on hw:1 and does nothing useful (no HDMI monitor
attached).
The onboard mic is hw:2,0 - it's offically recognised as "asc"
without any controls (not even on/off). It's also detached from
the mic led - I can toggle the LED but the mic stays on.
Now kmix sees hw:0 and hw:1, but not hw:2 - and krec cannot
capture sound. Audacity sees hw:0 + hw:1 + hw:2 and can record
sound. Is there a trick to make TDE aware of that "asc" mic?
Nik
Those 3 letter agency's will luv that. Just one of the reasons I've
never had a mic cable in the same room. Watch your cell phone
battery life for the same reason, even this cheap trakfone can be
turned on to listen remotely. So its card was allowed to expire a
year back. No more problem.
