My previous phone’s charge port finally went kaput so I had to get something new. The best option I had was a Pixel 8 or 8 Pro. I went with the 8 since it looked like the only major difference other than price was the cameras, and I don’t take a lot of pictures.
- It’s half the size of my previous phone. I’m a big guy and I like big phones, especially of the phablet variety. This thing feels like it’s made for children.
- Because it’s a carrier branded device, I can’t actually install the custom OS I wanted to because the option for OEM Unlock is grayed out. Which wouldn’t be a surprise had this information been front and center on Graphene or Lineage’s supported phone page and not half way through the instructions for install.
- Fucker has ads!
- Don’t know what to do with my 2TB sd card since absolutely nothing available had an SD slot.
I’m so sick of these closed down bastards. I wanna be able to build my own like I would a PC 😩
did you clean it out before tossing it? helps surprisingly often.
Oh yeah. Id been cleaning it regularly just cuz fuzz sometimes gets in there, but no; something in there literally snapped off.
That happened to my last phone, so I got a new charge port installed. It wasn’t expensive. I only got a new phone because it didn’t get 5g.
