Its Linux compatible or garbage. Bottom line. My Android phone is discharging faster than a bucket with a hole, but I'm keeping it as long as I can. I need to get me an Ubuntu phone.
This ewaste has like 1 hour of battery life and it's so locked up that even the company itself can't reset/refurbish the returns and just trash them
Jesus how old is your phone?
4 years. That's not really old at all. They just throttle your battery's capacity.
Can't you just replace the battery somehow? My phone's old battery had an adhesive which the repairman just cut, then he put in a new adhesive and battery in.
The only way to open this thing is to remove the screen... Which is the only way to certify that I am me for all work related stuff.....2FA is such a pita. So if I fuck up, that could be the loss of just my phone or all my e-mail. Lol, just kidding, I got backups. But boy, what a piece of shit way of doing things. I'm out. The hackers can have it all.
