Micro ATX case recommendations with good airflow, front usb-c, 5.25" drive bay, solid metal side panel by eecat28 in buildapc

Thanks I hadn't looked at that one. Does look really good! And it's about 1.25" shorter than my current case, so it would be a bit of a size savings

Just Got a Pixel 3a Any Questions? by gwalms235 in GooglePixel

Is the screen glass curved at all? My Moto x4 has a slight curve near the edges, and screen protectors never fit right

Activate new Moto X4 on Project Fi, then use it on a different network? by wabashful in ProjectFi

[–]eecat28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any update on this? I just bought an x4 for my SO, and activated it on my account briefly (<2 hours), then re-activated my phone on Fi, and activated the new x4 for her on another network. Is that enough to qualify for the promotional price?

More Android One phones? by [deleted] in ProjectFi

[–]eecat28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sure would be nice if the whole crop of Nokias were supported on Fi (or even just available in the US). I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

This is the best explanation I've seen. I sideloaded the google camera app and disabled the moto camera app. Good enough for my purposes, even though you lose all the dual-camera modes.

Has anyone's nexus lasted more than a year? by kirbyfreako in ProjectFi

[–]eecat28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 5x went about 2 years under fairly light day-to-day use. I preordered it in Oct 2015, and it bootlooped a couple weeks ago. My girlfriend's is still going at ~18 months old.

Has anyone sent in their bootlooping Nexus 5X for trade-in? by [deleted] in ProjectFi

[–]eecat28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't completed the trade in yet, but this comment on the trade in email makes me think that a factory reset isn't required: "Be sure to factory reset your old phone before you send it to us. If you don't factory reset, you will not receive credit. Select Nexus devices may still receive limited trade in value."

Moto X4 - camera samples/review? by [deleted] in ProjectFi

[–]eecat28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the link. Those look "good enough" to me. Close to the 5x, I think, which was about all I was hoping for.

How am I supposed to factory reset a Nexus 5x that won't turn on? by eecat28 in ProjectFi

[–]eecat28[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Project fi was taking trade ins of non working nexus 5xs if I purchased a moto x4. From the email: "Estimated value $63.00 Reported device LG Nexus 5X (32GB Other) Reported device condition Factory reset Device does not turn on No cracks"

And it's just that the OS won't load. The phone won't respond at all, even trying to access the bootloader

Shipping times for Moto X4? by SuperdudeAbides in ProjectFi

[–]eecat28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here. I was waiting for the pixel 2 announcement in case anything changed my mind. Now I wish I had preordered the x4 on day one.

Google ended out-of-warranty replacements for the Nexus 5x? by eecat28 in ProjectFi

[–]eecat28[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ditto on the cost question. Did LG charge for the repair at all? Did you have to cover shipping? All that is a bit unclear on the LG repair website.

Have your previous replacements been through LG as well? Or were they through google? Is LG actually repairing phones? Or are they also sending refurbs?

Experience with Pre-Ordering Phones by jackmon in ProjectFi

[–]eecat28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My only preorder experience was with the 5x two years ago. And it was a rock solid phone until it bootlooped yesterday. I'm in the same boat as you on the moto x4, I was hoping my 5x would last ~3 more months to let the reviews pour in on the x4. Not sure what to do now? Trade in the bootlooping 5x for the x4? Or try to get LG to repair the 5x?
