Update: I wanna thank everyone for the advice, I’m shipping the bunk phone back for refund today and ive got my eye on a few from swappa and back market for when I get the money to buy.
I’ll probably try out graphene but after looking into crdroid I’m pretty stoked about it having all the customization I’ve been wanting for ages. Which ever feels cleaner to manage and easier for the family to pick up will probably be the go to.
So I fell for the classic blunder and ended up with a pixel that’s not OEM unlocked despite being advertised as such. After a few hours of searching it looks like the only way I’m getting an OEM unlocked pixel is full price from Google itself. I don’t have $400 for a new phone, I bought the one I have for $150 in 2019.
Are there any cheaper ways to get control of my phone?
Sadly no, rural US. I’d gladly move if I could.
:/ HM that sucks. You could go with a phone with lineage OS support, not as secure but at least without bloatware from what I understand.
Or save and try to snipe a good deal on some marketplace
I wish I had the time, but after nearly 8 years my charging port is finally giving up. It doesn’t do data transfer anymore and I don’t know how many more times I can plug it in before it stops charging all together.
Have you tried to Clean it with a needle? Often its just stuff getting Into the port so the cable doesn’t fit anymore all the way
Oh regularly. I’ve been keeping this guy alive for years. The issue looks to be that the port itself is beginning to seperate and the blu g91s isn’t all that repairable.
I’ve been carrying it around long enough that the whole phone has a ~3° warp to it from my jeans holding it too tightly to my thigh. If you sit it glass down on a flat surface it wobbles like a bad table.
