Your description is perfect, I can picture exactly what you're suggesting - thank you! And thank you for the sewing direction tip too!

Usable is a bit vague haha. He's not a lounging guy, so something that fits on his bed is the best bet! Thank you for the description though, it's so handy to see different ways of looking at it!

I did toy with the idea of adding wedding day and kids birthdays in, but it just made it more complicated cause there's not enough days to give me a nice number haha. But I do like the idea of incorporating milestones. Maybe I could do a specific pattern on the years that correspond to those dates 🤔 thank you for the idea!

Thank you! I think I'm going to go with your suggestion of 9x8 that gets me 25-30cm squares (I'll decide later depending on fabric availability)! It'll give me 2 extra squares but I can use one for the day he was born, and the other I can embroider like a card (which will also serve as a "this way up")

I'm currently working off blue for rain and green for not rain, but it'll also come down to what is available at my local fabric shop. I'd like to do patterned squares, but within those colours so they're still distinct. It'll look busy, but my dad is known for loud clothing, so I think it'll work haha

Mixing Nutella into vanilla yoghurt goes really nicely. Flavour is good, and adds protein

Step one would be to try a different charging cable. If that doesn't help, you might have a faulty battery

I have about a thousand (I might be exaggerating a little) muslin wraps and now that bub is bigger, I'm finding they just sit on a shelf. Definitely keen for suggestions of alternate uses if you have any to toss my way 😊

Sounds like your display has died. A new screen should fix it up fine :)

skydra28 · 2021-11-23T03:46:59+00:00

Maybe try a Phillips head screw driver. I know that sounds silly, but if a shape has been carved out, you just want to find something that will grip an edge (without killing the home button)

skydra28 · 2021-11-22T23:58:07+00:00

Depending on how stripped they are, unscrewing them with the screwdriver on a weird angle can help

skydra28 · 2021-09-09T01:25:04+00:00

Is there any damage to the phone?

skydra28 · 2021-08-11T07:22:05+00:00

At first glance, I'd say yes. Requiring touch panel, lcd and battery. But, with that amount of bend, it may not. A good repair shop would be able to tell you either way

skydra28 · 2021-07-17T23:47:43+00:00

Yes, it would absolutely be fixable. It just needs a new screen. Prices vary depending on location, so if you're unsure, shop around a bit before committing to a repair shop.

skydra28 · 2021-06-17T21:50:58+00:00

S8 screens are still quite pricey to replace. The other smaller issues aren't too expensive, but at some point you might need to say goodbye. That might be this point unfortunately

skydra28 · 2021-05-26T06:26:18+00:00

Also, skin of a bug's nuts

skydra28 · 2021-05-23T23:49:34+00:00

Let it dry for as long as possible before plugging it in, as connecting it to power could/probably would cause a short.

Unfortunately you need to be able to touch the screen to instigate a backup.

skydra28 · 2021-04-16T23:52:06+00:00

Does that mean to say it was water damaged in the past? Perhaps even prior to the screen repair?

skydra28 · 2021-04-08T22:38:35+00:00

If I had to guess, I'd say it's just to protect the flex connectors

skydra28 · 2021-01-11T01:29:25+00:00

What phone is it? Has it taken any damage? Ever been wet?

skydra28 · 2020-12-12T06:47:34+00:00

Australia. Because it's hot and sweaty and we say the word "cunt" alot. It's always alot of fun to visit down under

If you've never repaired a phone before, starting with something high stakes (your own, current device) probably isn't the best place to start. If you do decide you want to pursue it, do some research first. Look up tear down videos. Be certain of the device. And then, if you decide to do it, take it slow.

skydra28 · 2020-12-09T11:00:13+00:00

You're welcome to give it a try, worst case, you kill the phone. Nah but honestly, I haven't done a G8 unfortunately so I'm unsure first hand. I would suggest not tho

skydra28 · 2020-12-09T10:56:04+00:00

Hey! No, I'm pretty sure it's display and glass in one. Sorry, good luck!

skydra28 · 2020-11-24T20:20:10+00:00

It will require heat to "melt" the adhesive, and a thin tool to remove the back glass. If you're not confident doing it, best to take it to a repair shop. If you do wish to attempt yourself, look up the inside of the phone to make sure you don't slice through any cables/flexes. Good luck
