Why is your buddy on a device while in a hand? I think you are missing the point every pro-device player is stating.
Devices are not ok to touch in any way shape or form while in a hand. Your album just ends while making a huge reraise on the turn? Tough, wait till your hand is dead to hit play on part II of Neil Diamond's greatest hits.
If you fold UTG, stand up or not, and text your buddy in the BB your hole cards, he will have to wait until his hand is dead to see what you had. If he violates this, there should be penalties. And like anything, the Dealers are responsible to enforce this or include the floor in any issues.
Isn't it easier just to ban devices? Sure. It's also easier to ban food at the table to speed up the game or avoid greasy cards. Or turn off the TVs so as to not distract from the game to speed things up. Arguments aplenty.
