| cmaloney | rick_h: No worries | 00:10 |
|---|---|---|
| cmaloney | Hopefully they're stress-free and uneventful | 00:10 |
| rick_h | Heh, really right now we're waiting for our 7pm slot. | 00:12 |
| cmaloney | Lovely. They're over. :) | 00:32 |

| cmaloney | Well, apparently JoDee's Nexus 5X is stuck in boot loop mode | 16:30 |
| Scary_Guy | that sucks, but sounds like it's up my ally. has it been modified at all? | 16:47 |
| cmaloney | no | 16:47 |
| Scary_Guy | well that's slightly annoying, they local? I'd be happy to take a look at it | 16:49 |
| Scary_Guy | at least it isn't a solid brick which is very promising. should be able to get into fastboot/recovery and fix whatever is causing it | 16:50 |
| cmaloney | It's not allowing any recovery | 16:57 |
| cmaloney | LG is going to do a fix, but it'll take 2 weeks. :( | 16:57 |
| Scary_Guy | I'm surprised they don't just swap it out then, assuming everything is backed up | 16:58 |
| cmaloney | Nice; they're not giving me shipping labels to send it back | 17:05 |
| cmaloney | great fucking service. | 17:05 |
| Scary_Guy | oh, I assumed it was already on its way. have you tried throwing it into download mode? or is that nobueno too? | 17:06 |
| cmaloney | The damn thing won't get past fast-boot | 17:06 |
| greg-g | Carrie's Nexus 5 was run over 2 days ago. Still works(!!!!), but the screen is shattered to all hell. | 17:06 |
| cmaloney | even in recovery mode | 17:06 |
| Scary_Guy | but will it get to fastboot? | 17:06 |
| cmaloney | it loops | 17:07 |
| Scary_Guy | that sucks, well wish I could think of something else then but I'm sure you're just as capable as I am with fixing a phone | 17:08 |
| cmaloney | my favorite is the "you should enable developer mode in order to have more options" | 17:09 |
| cmaloney | so essentially I need a time machine | 17:09 |
| Scary_Guy | that only works if the thing actually boots into the OS though | 17:10 |
| cmaloney | Right | 17:10 |
| cmaloney | Which it isn't | 17:10 |
| Scary_Guy | I mean you can't ADB into it if you can't get into the OS, so it wouldn't matter if you had | 17:10 |
| cmaloney | And I have another Nexus 5X phone for my own phone | 17:11 |
| cmaloney | So I'm just waiting for this to happen on this phone. :-/ | 17:11 |
| Scary_Guy | they are nice phones, but I think I did hear about this being an issue after a while | 17:11 |
| rick_h | cmaloney: ouch, I had a cowoker have their 5x do that recently | 17:12 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, it's a known fucking issue | 17:12 |
| cmaloney | the internet is littered with the bodies of those who got suckered. | 17:12 |
| cmaloney | Though I can't complain: they seem like they'll repair it for free | 17:12 |
| cmaloney | but it seems like it should be a recall and not a "whoops" | 17:13 |
| Scary_Guy | yeah, it just takes two weeks to do so apparently. | 17:13 |
| cmaloney | They have to replace the motherboard | 17:13 |
| cmaloney | but companies like to do that whole "ride it out" bullshit | 17:13 |
| cmaloney | instead of actually fixing the fucking problem proactively | 17:14 |
| cmaloney | And this is why I will never buy a premium phone ever | 17:14 |
| cmaloney | not if you're going to do this whole "build an expensive phone but cheap out every step of the way. | 17:15 |
| Scary_Guy | I get premium phones, but last generation premium phones. This Nexus 6 I have is great and was cheap off a friend of mine who upgraded to a 6p. He just got the new Pixel 2 XL and I'm still rockin' this beast | 17:20 |
