I think diversity is the in thing at the moment, so people are embracing differences like culture, way of life and beliefs. I take people for what they are, not the colour of their skin. Theres good and bad in every race.
Let me ask you this: do you think that people from upper and middle class areas doesn't consume media that spews nonsense about Islam and the Muslim world, or that these stupid documentaries and news networks haven't reached them? They definitely watch these programs and typically believe every bit of it, so of course they have many misconceptions about us.
I grew up as a non-Muslim in the kind of environment you described. From much of what I've seen, they are much more open about their prejudice behind closed doors. I can't lie and say I wasn't like that too. We looked down on Muslims and thought they follow a backwards religion and culture, but to avoid offending anyone we wouldn't say this to their faces.Has the time not come for those who have believed that their hearts should become humbly submissive at the remembrance of Allah and what has come down of the truth? And let them not be like those who were given the Scripture before, and a long period passed over them, so their hearts hardened; and many of them are defiantly disobedient. (57:16)

I didn't have to restart my phone but once in while it will freeze the video and the audio will carry on
If this phone stops working I thought I'll just buy a normal phone with buttons, but I need the internet so I'm thinking if I should buy a cheap tablet for browsing and video watching and have the phone with me when I'm out
I want a phone with chunky buttons like Nokia

Depending on what type of phone you have the restart method is different. Google your phone make and model with restart method. Like if you have an iphone you could google iphone 8 restart method.
Then follow the steps for your phone restart and it should work after that.
Theres plenty of good tablets out there if you want to use the tablet for videos and surfing the net.
Have a look here for tablets
and have a look here for a nokia phone.'If you are grateful, I will surely increase you [in favor]'

Let me ask you this: do you think that people from upper and middle class areas doesn't consume media that spews nonsense about Islam and the Muslim world, or that these stupid documentaries and news networks haven't reached them?

The middles classes may hold prejudice against islam and think that islam is a backward religion but more and more celebrities are finding peace in islam.
They have tried all the sensory hedonism like drugs, sex and alcohol but that still doesnt fill their spiritual void and then they try islam and islam fills their spiritual void. I think if people study islam with an open mind they will find the truth.
So .khayriyyah. how did you find islam. Please share your story. Thank you.'If you are grateful, I will surely increase you [in favor]'

the heat of my phone makes it worse for my hands
just for reference I've never owned an iphone, I had the Samsung Galaxy before, the very old version that were small and less sophisticated
For the most part I've had an unknown or less popular make of phone
I'd be surprised if anyone else owns the model I have

I've got a samsung galaxy A51 phone which is old but it does the job. I use my laptop for the net and i sometimes use my phone to find out information. Why dont you shop around for a good tablet with touchscreen.. I'm sure youll be able to find a good tablet for a reasonable price.
