Lool The only way to overcome smartphone addiction like Every other addiction is to channel your free time to doing something tasking/demanding. Too much free time is the cause, get busy and watch the addiction go away.

Like i always say, Idleness is the begining of every addiction.

after all this is done, a smart phone now becomes a nokia torchlight. it's best to get yourself a nokia torchlight phone strictly for calls and messages. rather than trying out all the op has listen on a smartphone; these are reasons it's called 'SMART PHONE'
