Hi all,
I’ve had a 3a for some years now, and I like almost everything about the phone (though I sincerely wish they’d used more durable glass, holy canoli). However, the battery has started to fail, and I was wondering if it’s worth replacing? It would cost about 80 USD to have it professionally replaced.
I know the device is no longer supported by Google, but I was thinking of running GrapheneOS instead of Android, anyway.
Any thoughts or insights? I’m far from a genius when it comes to cell phones, so I’d appreciate anything you have to say.
Thanks!
Thanks for the info about GrapheneOS. It looks like CalyxOS also has limited support at this point – some software updates, but no firmware. Doesn’t bode well! Not sure about LineageOS.
Both CalyxOS and LineageOS fixed the Screen lock exploit found last year: https://bugs.xdavidhu.me/google/2022/11/10/accidental-70k-google-pixel-lock-screen-bypass/
“Stock” Android by Google still has the exploit unfixed, so custom roms here are actually more secure
