HEY long time no see, you still have Beer down under, any supply chain issues, weathering the Covid Plandemic ok?
Wish I just dropped a beer and not the phone, like a dummy set the phone on the hood of my VW Bug, shut the door and the phone slid off the hood landed on the corner of the screen, got on the PC started researching changing the screen happen to pick up the phone and it was HOT as hell, assuming something inside (screen maybe) shorted out, in a panic I pried the back cover off and pried the battery out to prevent a fire, these NEW phones are not designed to remove the back cover or remove the battery, the battery is WIRED into the phone.
In the process of removing the GLUED in battery it was damaged so the phone is in the parts pile now, it was a cheapo phone Samsung Galaxy A32 5G, I think I paid $175 USD free shipping, the money is the easy part finding a new phone is the hard part, has to be UNLOCKED and compatible with my carrier bla bla bla, I wanted to upgrade the phone to one with a higher quality camera, video system for better quality pics, settled on a
Samsung Galaxy A52 5G - RAM 6 GB / Internal Memory 128 GB - microSD slot - OLED display - 6.5" - 2400 x 1080 pixels - 4x rear cameras 64 MP, 12 MP, 5 MP, 5 MP - front camera 32 MP $214.49 USD
Goal is to find a screen for the Galaxy A32 5G, repair the battery cable and see if it will still function then just use for a camera and GPS recorder, extra dash cam worse case it will also need a battery.
