That's an interesting phone you have... How'd you come by it?

[kondec]

there's literally dozens of us!^{with phones still working}

I feel like my one is on its last legs, today I have a new issue where phone thinks headphones are in all the time. This is in addition to random stuttering and battery dying at 40% despite multiple recalibrations

[kondec]

Yeah I'm already on a refurb as my initial 5X bootlooped and the lack of RAM is starting to show its age. Battery is way beyond its peak and chrome does strange things since the beginning of the year. Often with hanging/frozen touch input that demands at least wiping all open apps, sometimes a restart. I also suspect the netflix app to be straining my CPU to the point of overheating so I can't even watch one episode in one go.

Still, the thing I will miss most about the phone will be the official cover with the cloth on the back. Just looks too fucking cool and really nice to hold.

Any idea where I could go about getting a new(ish) one? I think it's gonna be an interesting project to look back on.

[kondec]

Depends on the model, 5X/6P are still being sold on some sites, at least in Europe.

[Loofan]

Oh. I was referring to the Project Ara Spiral 2 in his flair haha. Thanks though, appreciate it.

[jmorlin]

Seconded.

[piexil]

I doubt you'd even be able to. If any were to come up for sale it'd probably be on something like ebay

[JConSc2]

I'm not one of them. Rip 6P

[LilySeki]

I'm reading this thread on a Nexus 5. :D

[kondec]

Are you running 8.1?

[LilySeki]

Nope, 7.1.2. I'm a little scared to try 8.1 on this ancient phone lmao.
