It just randomly bricked itself for no reason and went into a boot loop.
No way to connect to it via USB.
I am making the last desperate attempt of draining its battery, but I am not optimistic about it.
This exact same thing happened to my mother's phone of the same brand - Nokia - slightly different model, so I am thinking there is a pattern and I should get a different phone rather than getting it fixed.
It's still under warranty, so there won't be any monetary loss, just a lot of annoyance.
My phone is warped. I sat on it multiple times when taking a break from cooking at clubhouse, and the lower half, where the keyboard is, is ever so slightly bent to where autocorrect is kaput.
I am buying a OnePlus Nord N30 with time. Looking forward.
I bit the bullet and got a Fairphone - I have been interested in ages, but never felt like spending that much money on a phone.
Now I just hope it arrives soon and lasts me ages.
OnePlus is a great brand, really good choice!
Also you just reminded me of something I had buried in my brain: a few years ago at work I started noticing that my laptop felt a bit "strange" when typing. Like it would slightly move when I touched the keyboard... almost as if it wasn't lying flat. Well, it wasn't! The battery, which was placed roughly in the middle, and which could not be detached, was slowly inflating and bending the bottom of the laptop. So the laptop would basically oscillate left and right whenever I used it.
I did return it to IT before it would explode, and their reaction was hilarious when they saw it.
We had a laugh, expressed our relief that it had not yet exploded in my face, and I guess they disposed of it quickly.
wow, lifesaver! :D
I use an HP14 laptop with Debian flashed on it, and it runs like a dream, unlike Win11 that it shipped with. Best $183 spent for a cheapy laptop that I hope to get 5+ years out of.
Fairphone looks cool. I am pretty sure I will do the 1+ in Sept, as this Moto G is giving me too many issues when typing. The Nord30 is :chef's kiss: though! haha

We went entirely the wrong direction with phones. The whole idea behind the smartphone was to make the phone more like your PC. Then we started moving in the opposite direction, trying to make PCs more like phones. Then we started removing all ports and fixability from phones (and then, as is the theme, following suit with computers.) It's infuriating. Frankly I'm team "phones should have full-size USB-A ports" so having no options in this situation is frustrating. I'm sorry.
Soon: smarthouses like phones. A leak in the pipes means you have to buy a whole new house. But that will be the least of your worries, because most problems with your plumbing will need debugging, and I don't mean those nice little biological bugs, but the nasty, incorporeal ones. You won't be doing the debugging either, because it's all proprietary, you will likely need to wait for the next update before you can shower with hot water. Let's just hope the browser doesn't freeze the whole security system, locking you inside while cloudflare verifies that you are a human.
But *surely* they'll leave the commode flushing mechanism user-debuggedly non-proprietary, otherwise we're talking epic shitshows!
