I’ve already replaced the battery on it. It’s done it’s shift to be fair I have it two years now, longest by far I’ve ever held onto a phone, you’ve to wiggle the wire to get it to charge now as well.
@Copper_pipe what’s a good phone in the sub €300 market
I have the One Plus 6t which you can get for around €300 now that they’ve released newer models
Would you stretch to 400 for the One Plus Nord?
Sell it to me
You should
One plus are good phones, and buying second hand mobiles is a mugs game
I wouldn’t buy a One+, had two of them over the years. You’ll always be waiting months for any software update after Google release it and the older phones are pushed further down the list.
Get a Google Pixel 3A or a 4A, cheap enough and grand.
It’s not ideal, but no I don’t really care at this stage
Based on what you’ve said, I’m assuming you’re either pay as you go or sim only?
What do you pay a month? Are you willing to pay more?
The thing about phones is the total cost of ownership. The initial outlay, plus whatever you pay a month. 24 month contracts sometimes(rarely) are actually the best value if you were to find a good phone for free on a cheapish plan. Horses for courses though.
I get this continuously.
Why don’t we get free iphones?
Cause we have a set bill of x per month and reduced rate for handsets
But Joe Bloggs get free iphones
Yes because they pay y (far more) per month.
Nothing is free. It’s just about how you pay for it.
Cex will give me €350 cash for my 64GB XS if I trade it in. Will make my upgrade some bit cheaper…
I’ve mine over a year now and have no complaints. Mine old A5 was perfect until the charging port started giving bother and that’s what fucked it in the end,so I bought a couple of those magnetic chargers.You leave in the piece in the charging port and as your never taking putting it in and out all the time it doesn’t weaken it.Great job for charging in the car as you only need to put it beside the charger and it’ll connect itself.
Who are these boys will they buy my battered Samsung galaxy off me?
I bought the OnePlus 6 a few months back after much discussion here. Think it was 260ish online. Updated it to Android 10 or whatever the fuck it’s called and it’s a good machine. Put an Otterbox on it the day I got it as I drop phones regularly. Had to take it out of the case one day and noticed a series of cracks along the back. Otterbox ain’t what they used to be 
I went from a €30 per month contract with 3 to €8 a month with 48.ie. The €22 per month saving will have the phone paid off more or less within a year.
Broke screen and so can’t get past the enter pin section on my phone. I bought a new phone as the old one was shagged anyway, but need the data off the old one.
I tried this method below with a mouse but nothing doing. Anyone know why? Any other options?* I’d rather not pay for a new screen just to access the data on a defunct phone.

*no, I have not tried shoving either phone up my hole.
Not what you want to hear but I had a similar problem recently with an iPhone. The only way in was to get a new screen. The screens are cheap these days if you can do the work yourself. You’ll need the right tools of course.
Only other option is bring it to a shop and get them to put on a temporary screen and pull off the data.
The Samsung Phone software Is good and easy use. I’d recommend ye all back up your phones to a PC just in case something similar happens.
Wouldn’t be too familiar with Samsung these days tbh but as @habanerocat says, getting a new screen off ebay may be your only option.
What model phone is it? You might get a cheap screen on ebay for the purposes of transferring over the data.
A quick google tells me that what you are trying to do is the preferred solution but that OTG adapter only works with some models and firmware versions, so you’ll have to check that out. It that’s ok then you’ll have to cross-check your adaptor and cable and mouse on another phone and take it from there.
Interesting. I don’t know what many of those words mean. Anyway, plugging a mouse into an adaptor plugged into the phone didn’t work and neither did the keyboard. Back to square one. May have to replace the screen for a finish. Samsung S8. New screen is expensive enough but if that’s the cost to get all the data on the phone transferred over I’ll have to suck it up.
