I had the 5a I I only found out it was super defective after the screen died from a small drop, apparently it's one of its common defects, aside from the motherboard failure. I replaced with a non iOS, Google or Samsung phone

I had the 5a, and the screen died after a small fall, apparently that was common with this phone, and yes I only found out defective it was from other reviews

Didn't you read? He figured out everything

cool. since whatever i had after the pixel 1, I've had to replace my phone every 1 or 2 years. i like the os but they're not made as well anymore

did you have to pull the screen off and then glue it back on

• except cancer

Idk, dying 15 years ago kind of seems genius today.

No, you heat up the backside and put it back on again.

I received 100 dollars from Google for nerfing my battery capacity on my pixel 6a. If you have an pixel 6a you can also get this.

I've started using a wireless charger. It's been so much better because I regularly had to clean lint and wood dust out of the charging hole.

Oh yeah, I’m big on the wireless chargers. Especially with the magnetic alignment in qi2 charging.

S21 fe and still get a full day of use.

Have you worked with 3rd party testing companies? It isn't the end all be all. Even in 3rd party testing manufactures get wiggle room, and can voluntarily derate their numbers. Especially if there's any accountability for failing to meet those numbers there's a good reason to do so.

Standardized testing isn't the end all be all. Manufacturers have wiggle room. Most of the time you can also voluntarily derate yourself. EPA testing is standardized, but there's a surprisingly wide margin that you can test your car at.

BMW is pretty famous for derating their HP output so they're closer to whats available at the wheels. Every other manufacturer will measure at the crank (the balls)

It's all vendor specific on Android.

I wanna know what the hell people are doing to destroy the ports on their devices. Like are you plugging your phone in then using it as a lasso? Are you smashing the plug down against something and bending the connector? In 20 years of using various smart phones I've never destroyed the port on my device.

Lint? Yes, but you can clear that out easily. But like actually destroying ports when they're clean?

You misunderstand. I went to from the A71 to the 6. I am only recently on the 9.

They made it very clear that they'll continue. It's just a bit harder now. Plus, they'll fast track their own hardware now.
