Luckily, 詹占 had the exact same phone as mine and has moved on to a new one pretty much when mine fell apart so I could inherit a ‘new old’ phone.
Everything’s ok until the phone went for a swim in the toilet a few months ago. Since then, the USB isn’t quite working – I can’t transfer files between the phone and computer anymore. But other than that, the phone is basically functioning.
但係，好境不常，phone #2 suddenly can’t be charged anymore. Guess the USB plug finally had it.
So basically, I have
- Phone #1, can be charged but the on/off button is broken. So if I leave the phone on, then it just drains my battery.
- Phone #2, can be used but can’t be charged.
My 3-yr phone contract is finally up today. And I could get a new phone with a 2-yr contract but I am kinda waiting for the Nexus 6 to come out. 詹占 has moved on to Nexus 5 but discovered some issue with the sound capture when recording video. Apparently, it’s a hardware issue so I don’t want Nexus 5. But then there isn’t any announcement on the release date of Nexus 6 yet. And it might never come. I have been trying to follow all the rumors on some tech/gadget websites but so far, everything’s just rumors. So, I’m holding up, still using the two semi-broken phones in the meantime until either a new Google phone comes out or my semi-broken phones turn into completely broken phones.

Erm...phone 2 went for a swim when u were squatting and spinning the toilet paper roll?
Can u open the phones and replace parts from one phone to another? Why nexus ? Why not a cheap line of samsung or sth?
Lol... no la. I was bending over trying to help 小J pee and the phone slipped out of my shirt pocket.
I don't know if I should attempt to repair the phone myself. I don't think I am that kind of electrical engineer... Will possibly break both of them and I will end up with no phone at all.
Nexus is usually the cheaper smart phone la, given the same spec. And I read that other brand, tho still Android, have their company software pre-installed in the phones so I will end up with extra crap in the phone. I don't know if that's really true cos I haven't spent too much time in investigating. That's what I read anyway.
And right now, my contract is just done and as long as I don't get a new phone and enter into some sort of contract, I'm getting 10% off my monthly bill. Pretty good for now especially I'm going to be so broke again once I start to take time off work. Actually, I'm already broke, having to pay for the reno...
Actually you r right...
Samsxxg tends to come with quite many stock apps... not sure about htx and the rest...
Hum.. so have to stick with two phones until new nexus comes out or for a year before getting back to work?
Guess what? I was going to stick with two phones until Nexus 6 came out. But then suddenly, just a few days after #2 was born, none of the phone charges and I was down to like 15% of battery life.
I was on my way to get a new phone right the way but then by the time I got to the store, I felt sick and didn't linger to look at the phones. And that store only had 4 phones to choose from anyway. So I thought I would use my mom's phone in the meantime.
And then one of the phones (the one which can actually be used) charges miraculously. So I didn't need to get a new phone yet! Haha... It was just a few days before Nexus 6 was announced. I'm not sure if I'm actually going to get Nexus 6 cos it's massive and it's also more expensive than the rest of the Nexus line. I will have to see what my cell carrier offers when the phone is actually available. But for now, I only need to use 1 phone, an upgrade already! :P
