NothingButACommodity [it/its]
Sorry, I just now saw this. No, I don’ t think I spoke with you before, but I could be wrong. My memory is pretty fucked up these days, and I do use different accounts to post a rare comment here and there. I’ve seen other people post similar things too (which is part of the reason I don’t feel so alone here on hexbear), so it maybe wasn’t me but someone else in a bad place? If it was me you spoke to, I apologize that I don’t remember. Whatever the case, thank you. Your compassion is appreciated, and it’s the people like you who make this place the only place on the internet, the only “social media” I ever actually feel comfortable enough to speak to others on.
I’d also like to say that I don’t want you or anyone else here to feel any kind of obligation to convince me (or others who are probably on their way out) of a brighter future. Again, it is appreciated, truly it is. But my despair is the fault of my own failures in life, and much more so the fault of this fucked up capitalist machine, this juggernaut that dehumanizes and alienates everyone. I know (or at least I’d like to think) that I am as you say, deserving of love and compassion, deserving of a brighter future. But many of us are simply just cut off from that, whether we deserve it or not. A little bit of solidarity and kindness, and even just friendly interaction from a stranger on the internet does help with how alone I (and presumably others) feel though, so again… thank you.
That makes sense, but even when it’s plugged in and says the battery is at 100%, it makes no difference as far as how lagged everything is. I guess a battery replacement is still worth a try, but it would piss me off to spend the money on a new battery and go through the trouble of installing it for it not to work.
I’ve restarted it many times, put it in safe mode, etc. It made no difference. But I haven’t done a factory reset yet. I also deleted nearly all the apps that didn’t come preinstalled, but yeah, maybe one of those are causing it. Safe mode is supposed to help with that by turning off all non-essential apps, but like I said, the problem is no different in safe mode.
a broken update from the manufacture, possibly to try and get you to buy a new phone.
I was worried I was being too conspiracy brained, but honestly, that has been one of my main suspicions about all the problems I’ve been having with this pos phone. I have no experience with custom roms or jailbreaking a phone, etc. but maybe it’s time to try. Not like I have much to lose at this point.
I may end up just getting a new fucking phone, but if so, I need to do a ton of research on what my options are. Huawei phone? Mint carrier service? I don’t know. That would be a completely separate post though.
you’re just scrambling for excuses for why you shouldn’t become one of us. but you’re wrong. let us in. let us in to your heart. if you’re not vegan and you’re resisting linux… your communism is sus. (this is only partly joking. really, you should go vegan and it really is better to use linux). Let us in.
Thanks for the info. I found a few youtube vids of people replacing the battery on that model and I was considering doing that, but I’m not going to bother if the phone is so slow and laggy I can’t even us it. But if I am able to solve that problem somehow, I will definitely check out that guide. I think the battery is a separate issue because I’ve been dealing with that for a while now, but the lagging thing just cropped up out of nowhere all of a sudden. I could be wrong of course.
