    Cheapest Samsung under $50 used - works w/ Samsung Wear OS app etc

    I'm looking for an inexpensive phone that I can use for wifi only that I can connect to my teen's smartwatch so he can update his watch software. Under $50 used would be great; if it was decent enough to use as a wifi-only phone for a couple years that would be great too. Someone recommended...

    Cover reccs?

    Came on here to see if anyone else had asked this yet but nope! I've saved a couple on Amazon but never heard of the brands. Do they even make them with exposed buttons anymore? I miss that in my life. So I prefer super thin and TPU. Not soft/sticky at all. I've loved my Cruzerlite and Cimo...

    Used Pixel 2 with no fingerprint sensor?

    Nope, I'm thinking it's just a problem w/ the phone. I've seen people saying the same thing in others places and their only option was to send to Google. It's not worth it to me so I'm just going to live with it until I can get the 4a.

    Used Pixel 2 with no fingerprint sensor?

    No, it's not there. The scanner on the back doesn't react to my touch. It's like the hardware isn't even there.

    Used Pixel 2 with no fingerprint sensor?

    Just bought a Pixel 2 used and there's no sign of fingerprint sensor hardware at all. When I set it up, it didn't ask me to add fingerprints like it should. I've researched and I guess there have been known issues but is there a way to flash the software for it? I ran the DevCheck app and it...

    Pixel 2, 3 or 3a while waiting for 4a

    Why that over a 2? Just looking at 2s, I can get one locally for $100 which I *might* be able to get out of my 3 if I sell for parts.

    Pixel 2, 3 or 3a while waiting for 4a

    So my Pixel 3 suffered a tragic ending due to a combination of heating/charging issues I presume and is unusable. I'm currently using a borrowed Moto G horrible Play on Android 6. Was planning on using it until the 4a came out but now it looks like that won't be for a few more months which puts...

    Pixel 3 bricked from Anker wireless stand - local shop cannot find problem

    Thanks for the well thought out answer. It's very possible it was a combination of all of them. I'm sure I've left a phone out in the sun for a bit before. This is the first phone I've used for an AR game but it's been used/played for a few months now. And first phone I've done wireless charging...

    Pixel 3 bricked from Anker wireless stand - local shop cannot find problem

    No, I never noticed the phone getting hot with it on there. I had it in a Ringke case with an Anker magnetic sticker on the bottom (still charged with it on there). I would charge it that way. I remember - earlier that day I had it outside in the sun for maybe 30 minutes. My son started using...

    Pixel 3 bricked from Anker wireless stand - local shop cannot find problem

    I guess it's just frustrating that no one seems to be able to help me and I'm completely SOL with this $300 phone. I am careful with my phone. I take care of them. I've had lots of phones in my life and NEVER had one do this to me. I'm unhappy that Google can't give me more support. They don't...

    Pixel 3 bricked from Anker wireless stand - local shop cannot find problem

    At this point, I just want to know what happened to it. The Google rep I talked to forwarded the case to a manager who got back to me but clearly English isn't their first language. She said I could get it repaired at a "service partner" but didn't give me any options. I replied but I'm not sure...

    Pixel 3 bricked from Anker wireless stand - local shop cannot find problem

    Thanks for the merge. The phone is completely nonfunctional. I'm sure they tried to flash a new rom and stuff. It appears very bricked lol. My data was automatically backing up so I'm not worried about that.

    Pixel 3 bricked from Anker wireless stand - local shop cannot find problem

    Accidentally didn't post this in the forum, whoops, not sure where it's exactly posted lol My Pixel 3 was working perfectly fine when I put it on the Anker wireless charging stand two nights ago that I have been using for a few months. When I woke up in the morning, the phone was completely...
