ack shipping is >CA$30. maybe there is a local distributor.

Understood, thanks. I will keep in mind. Not in the US so sometimes shipping can be too much on these shopify stores for just 1 item but I will get from here if reasonable.

Do you think it matters that the wire colors are in the opposite order?

In either case, thanks this gets me closer.

why is it better?

custom rom is the reason I spent so much time trying to get a pixel.

but I am giving up on this one. next device is going to run lineage so I can have a wider variety to try to find one that works. maybe I’ll try a motorola.

there isn’t swappa in canada

no it was a refurb business that didn’t have exact item photos. Because the flashing is somewhat intermittent I wonder if it wasn’t quite as bad when they were looking at it, maybe something got knocked loose in transit?

Previous transaction in similar circumstances have had better luck. I am not very picky about display quality or case damage so burn in, dead pixels, dim lines, dents, small cracks etc are no issue and I stop noticing them pretty quickly. I get cheap 5/10 condition phones and they are plenty good enough for me. I have never seen the bright white line thing. Also didn’t realize that the display would be black where the cracks are; must be some great new display technology to prevent you from extending the life of a busted screen by applying a protector. Fantastic can’t wait till all phones have this.

I think everyone’s right I have to send it back. Very annoying… it’s harder to get this stuff in Canada if you are looking for custom ROM compatible phones. It’s so much work to find the correct kind of item. Shipping takes forever. Oh well cest la vie. I guess I shall have to read another paper book.

TODO

I mean I don’t want to take a 90% performance hit lol. I can def live with 10% hit.

ok, ok, I don’t know how numbers work oops

I doubt the WAN would provide the advertised top theoretical speed most of the time; I just don’t want to be running at like 10% of potential or something like that. If I were to do that I should at least get a cheaper plan.
