Phone overheated mid-set at a basement show in Philly, lost 20 minutes of audio
Last Friday I was at this tiny venue in South Philly, maybe 60 people packed into a basement, and the band was killing it. I had my phone propped on a beer crate about 10 feet from the PA, recording steady for like 40 minutes, when the screen went black from heat and battery drain. I panicked, grabbed a cold can of seltzer from the bar and pressed it against the back of my phone for a solid 5 minutes, which sounds nuts but it worked. When it powered back on, I had a 50 minute file but the last 20 minutes of the set were just silence, no warning, no buffer. I ended up asking a guy next to me who was also recording if he'd trade files, and we did a partial swap on the spot. Has anyone else had a phone just give up mid-show, and did you find a way to recover that lost chunk or just accept the gap?
