I feel like designing a phone that isn't lovely that can withstand being submerged is actually rather difficult because of cooling issues with faster processors, so I can't really fault any phone for not being waterproof. Stop throwing your sensitive electronics in bodies of water, goons

Android is a retarded hosed up OS slapped onto hardware made to give nerds boners by having the most GHz and cores as possible without bothering to make the hardware work well with the software cause a new phone will be released within the next 5 months. It's no wonder the only ppl I know irl who complain constantly about their phones are android users.

what the gently caress does this have to do with getting your phone out of a reboot cycle? why are you even doing that lmao

Pick one of the following:

1. I decided to just loving guess at how to fix a badly designed OS phone so I just threw terminal commands at it for no good reason
2. I followed the recommendations of an Android forum (who were generally very nice despite their poor tastes in hardware) and the final attempt after nothing else worked was to put the stock system image back onto the phone while not interrupting the data (which is what I was trying to save). It wasn't even the final recommendation, that would've been "take the replacement phone, strip them both down, DESOLDER THE loving MEMORY CHIP AND SWITCH THEM BETWEEN HANDSETS." which pretty much sums up the Android experience really.

It was 2. And the thing was so badly hosed that when I put it back to factory defaults in case some other genius was able to extract the data, it poo poo itself so hard it never actually installed.

Your posts are cute but you're not very good at this. Maybe your phone reboots constantly while trying to reply?

Wasn't my phone, like I'd ever own a loving Samsung. And the factory reset broke it even further. If only there was a store I could take it into where they'd have just done everything for me...

Yeah if that person's iPhone boot looped then they'd have the joy of taking it to the genius bar and paying some guy factory reset and wipe the data instead of conning their friend into doing it for them

how much money did you save buying a welfareOS/javaOS phone versus an iphone 6? even if it's a few hundred dollars i make ~$70/hr which makes the time spent reading reviews on phones and janitoring a loving telephone absolutely not worth my loving time

i can understand clipping coupons and pinching pennies if you work at little caesar's driving pizzas but i need a phone that does it's job and doesn't need personal dev work that i should be doing for my job. the last thing i want is to come home to janitor my phone after writing infrastructure code all day

It was a stock phone that for no reason stopped charging properly and went into a reboot loop every minute. It did this regardless of whether I booted into normal or safe mode, which was a loving task in itself as powering it down would also throw it into a reboot.

Plugging it into a computer doesn't do poo poo when the thing is constantly rebooting. Neither KIES nor Smart Share or whatever it's called could grab the phone properly before it would reboot again.

Recovery mode gave options to clear caches, this did nothing.

I could get it to stay up when in the download mode, but the front end toolset (which I could only get working at all when I manually killed the poo poo that KIES left behind despite completely uninstalling it) would not speak to the backend for reasons I don't care about. I had to pull the list of rom segments from the phone itself as apparently it matters about what order you install in, and then using a clean Samsung ROM that matched the exact one the phone had, I had to use terminal to replace the bootloader, system, and recovery. This would only work if I connected to the phone and hit the command in because if I waited to long it wouldn't sync for reasons.

Anyway despite the clean OS it would still reboot constantly. The option I was given was desoldering the chip that contained the storage and putting it in the new phone. I declined and factory reset the phone which then never even got to the home screen ever again.

It was a Samsung S5 or S6 and it seems to follow the 'life of frustration' that Android seems to throw at its users that doesn't seem to bother other people. Given that Samsung sell billions of these drat things, they're pretty much synonymous to Android regardless of them putting their own poo poo over the top. Freedom.

/effort about a stupid phone OS I don't even use.

my phone is waterproof and requires no 'janitoring' and it's just as good an equivalent $600-700 iPhone hardware wise. i got it for $140 bc it was on a massive sale on NewEgg. when it breaks or gets outdated in a couple years I'll get another $150 phone.

i prolly make more than you but pissing away money for no reason isn't cool lol. that's what people who are bad with money and end up in debt do.

Yes, that's how I did the factory reset which eventually killed it. The point was to recover the data, what is so difficult about this?

With users like you guys, it's no wonder Android people 'upgrade' their phones every few weeks while the rest of us have working phones for 2-3 years.
