Granted I will keep my Pixel 7! The plan would be to swap the SIM in here and there when I need a few days/weeks of cutting back on screen time.

Eh...maybe I'll just try a flip then...something like this: https://phones.mintmobile.com/Phones/Cat-S22-Flip.html

There are a ton of articles out there about how Gen Z has adopted flip phones to reduce screen times and increase mental health. I actually really like this idea even though i'm 39, lol. My main issue with swapping in a SIM card on occasion and doing this is, I don't want to go back to typing...

My Pixel 2XL panda 128GB won't stop powering off when I plug it in to charge, a dealbreaker since i use it for nav in my car and on the motorcycle. I tried cleaning the USB-C power port and doing a factory reset, still does it. I will miss it, i've had it for 5 years. My Motorolo Moto X...

Well unfortunately my Panda started shutting off again every time I plug it in to charge. I tried vigorously cleaning the charging port a few times, and also doing the full system erase and reset, and it's still doing it. I think this is the end of the line as I need it for navigation and...

I have a Pixel 2XL but I think this go around i'm going to get the Standard 7 when it goes on sale around the holidays. Seems to be a better bang for the buck with a borderline mid-range price point, almost half of what you pay for a tricked out (huge memory) Pro model.

I figured out how to fix this; I just have to forget the network and reconnect near one of my wifi routers. Has become a non-issue. The Panda is alive and well and i think will be around for a few more months at the least! :)

I am having a really hard time pulling the trigger at $750 for the 7 with the 256gb memory. Granted they are offering $100 trade in for my Pixel 2XL but still... My 2xl is still working fine so there's really no reason to other than for the sake of buying something new which does nothing...

Fifty dollars! That's more than my mom allows me to spend on phone cases!

I noticed the Pixel 6a was $399 on Amazon today; ~$50 off. Pretty sweet. Also, on Mint Mobile, if you get the 6a with a plan it's super cheap, about ~$250 or less depending on the plan. Please post any great 6a deals you find here!

The other option which i'm considering; is wait until the 7 releases, and then try and get a screaming deal on a 6, 6P, or 6a. I'm really all about paying $200 for a decent phone over having the latest and greatest.

I'm on the fence. My 2XL is dying a rapid hardware death; and i'm considering just waiting for the 7. On the other hand, the 6a seems like a helluva bargain. I'm torn! I don't NEED a 7; I only buy newer phones to future proof them a bit as i like to keep phones for 4-6 years, or basically...

Oh man i have all my files, my emulators, my apps, my photos, etc. It would be a pain, but I probably should try it. Going to give it a whirl and then yeah, maybe if it doesn't fix it limp it along for a few months and spring for a new Pixel 7 since those are coming out in October. If the...

When i plug my phone in to charge, it shuts down EVERY time. It will only charge when off. Hasn't bothered me so far yet :) Have tried multiple cables/chargers, I think it's either a glitch or a hardware flaw. Debating doing a full reset on the phone to see if it will fix it.

I saw this and immediately checked the local Targets in my area. Sadly none to be found in a 50 mile radius. Guess i'm waiting for the Pixel 7 as my 2XL is starting to have problems with charging and staying connected to wifi. I can limp it along for another couple of months though :)
