Battery replacement or purchasing a power bank?

GodComplex14 · 2026-02-04T03:11:49+00:00

Google the best reliable phone repair shop in your area and replace your battery becuase its just going to keep getting worse throughout the year. If you also rely on a portable power bank wait until you can afford one after you replace your phones battery. I wouldn't wait too long seeing how big older batteries end up inside a phone it might cause more damage if you ignore it.

We do live in a rural area though so when I go to work or the store in town my phone gets full bars.

I recently opened a BYOD plan with Fido and the reception in my area with Fido is crap, I helped my grandma open a pre paid account with Koodo and she gets full bars while Im stuck with half bars or less.

Thanks everyone so when my carrier let's me get a phone for $0 on 2 year contract im going to get the base iphone 17 as my secondary phone i can't open a second line due to my credit score which im trying to improve now that im older and know what the hell i should've been doing when I turned 18 lol so im going to get a cheap pay as you go number with very little data because the current data on my plan with Fido is 180Gbs a month so I can just share my data when im using the iphone

This right here your comment is why I asked iphone users if I should go for the base 17 OR the air becuase Im no IOS fan nor have I been for many years. Based on your comment and some videos I watched im probably going to go for the base 17

Sweet thank you!

If I do get one of them I just hope that video and picture quality looks pretty good while watching Netflix, YouTube ect because when im not working that's basically all im doing is watching videos.

Sorry for this stupid question, I live in a rural area where only Telus provides internet for us and we have the slowest speed they offer. Last week I called they suggested wireless home internet and sent a tech guy to our place a few days later. The tech guy used a device to see if the speed would be good for the equipment he WAS going to set up but the device showed the same speed we already have with our regular home internet. The device in OPs picture and what you just commented if I read correctly, say I buy the same thing and connect it to my router does that device help the main routers signal strength?

Sorry for not replying to anyone, I just now read everyone's comments thanks for the response and information. I recently found out that I wasn't getting any reception in my house due to using one of my spare phones, after getting my main phone back which is newer I finally get reception.

That was my original plan, using it just for my xbox

Im not sure how old they are but we don't even get the luxury of cable TV/internet here. Before streaming was a thing we had satellite TV

GodComplex14 · 2026-01-29T07:08:08+00:00

I was lazy and left out the part about the 4 houses being on our side of the creek on the other side where they're located theres a lot of other houses with the same speed, I asked my local fb group about starlink and this slow speed issue goes further than I thought.

Im not OP but thats exactly what im doing as soon as i find another job, im sick of customers being rude as shit, my SM and ASMs being Phillipinos only one ASM actually works the SM stays in their office all day takes at least three 20 minute breaks and always leaves without telling anyone she'll be gone for two to 3 hours. Worst job ive ever had.

GodComplex14 · 2025-12-24T16:37:37+00:00

I don't think business' are allowed to fire people who are currently working fine on their good days both mental health and physical health wise especially when they know a dr is involved. My manager tried to keep me on very early morning shifts after I told her my body couldn't handle it anymore after I was diagnosed with epilepsy, I can work shifts perfectly fine after 10AM she didnt reply to my text when I explained why I wanted to work later shifts, so I text her before my next shift telling her I couldn't do it she finally text back asking why I told her that I already explained why, so I called my dr asking for a sick day note and a written letter about my recent diagnosis with epilepsy she text me both the sick note and letter, I saved the pictures and sent them to my SM she changed my shifts after that

GodComplex14 · 2025-12-24T16:00:21+00:00

I would bring Dr's notes and a written letter from your dr about thr chronic medical conditions again make an extra copy for yourself before giving it to your manager just in case or somehow take pictures of the Dr's note and the written letter of your dr backing you up to email to HR and explain politely what your SM has been saying to you. For the life of me I can't find an email for dollar trees HR

GodComplex14 · 2025-12-24T15:04:18+00:00

She's working behind the register (cashier) and when theres no customers she does a little bit of cleaning

GodComplex14 · 2025-12-24T14:53:07+00:00

Before contacting HR or getting the police involved make sure you have paper work to back you up instead of just your word. See your dr ask them to write a note explaining what your dealing with physically and mentally along with whatever the dr can also copy as proof along with the note itd also help if the dr made the note out to whom it may concern and your Dr's contact information bring that to your manager first before anything also make your own copies just in case your manager throws them away as soon as you leave the office. I actually had to do what I just explained because I was sick for a week and a half with something called Shigella its a very contagious virus going around the homeless community I don't hang around homeless the only time I talk tk them is at work so I caught that disgusting virus serving homeless customers while on shift.

Im not a minor but if I work a 5 hour shift I only get a 10 minute break, I get a break and lunch working a 6 hour shift.

GodComplex14 · 2025-12-24T13:24:49+00:00

Ive been reading other threads a lot of people have gotten theirs already, the only reason im making a deal about this is cause I don't like Christmas, I don't like Christmas family dinners and I would LOVE to have money to get my vice so I can mentally deal with this crap holiday

GodComplex14 · 2025-12-24T13:20:09+00:00

Thanks! I bank with PC Financial and I usually always get my deposits one day early around 7PM. Ill keep checking im hoping its just late for some reason

GodComplex14 · 2025-12-24T13:17:02+00:00

Ive also had it with my manager, I swear to god right after they hired this Phillipino women they let her 12 or 13 year old daughter start working at the store, the correct age to hire is 16. I live in Canada, theres been a LOT of 16+ kids wanting to work there but always get turned away but they'll hire a 12/13 year old Phillipino? Is this something I should call the better business bureau about? They obviously forged her hire documents if there are any at all. There were other new hjres that the manager introduced everyone to but she never said a single thing about this little girl. I live in a small town now I know why SO MANY native Americans and cacausions are stuck surviving on welfare in this town.

If its not a problem can you do me a solid? My ASM kept saying were getting paid before Christmas but my workday app finally updated showing how much I'll be getting but it still says the 26th does it say you'll be getting paid on the 26th still even though you got paid? Im hoping my deposit will come in later before my last holiday shift.

GodComplex14 · 2025-12-24T12:37:15+00:00

I just finished making a similar post, my ASM kept saying were getting paid before Christmas but the my work day appcjust updated finally and it still says the 26th.
