I'll give my opinion on your mechanics. By starting the game and "obliging" him, you agreed that his cell use was OK. You both are at fault, and both looked bad.
When he waved at you to continue the game, you should've shook your head NO, and waited until he got the message. If it wasnt getting thru, call him in, meet halfway, and inform that the game wont start until.....
