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!
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
