I appreciate it. I’m not in a hot climate, and it’s winter here now. The phone did get pretty hot sometimes, though not recently.
I’ll start looking at new devices.

Dang. OK,thank you for your opinion/info.


I did try adb - installed a bunch of android debug stuff and Android Studio itself, which didn’t see the device.
clay@nixos-pc ~> adb shell
* daemon not running; starting now at tcp:5037
* daemon started successfully
adb: no devices/emulators found
It’s presumably too late for data recovery - I used the Wipe option in Recovery Mode hoping it would help. I just want my phone to work so I don’t need to buy a new one!
When the phone is in the fastboot menu, the android-utils fastboot sees it, but I haven’t the foggiest what I should be doing here. should I be flashing a ROM to the device?

OK.


I don’t have any USB2.0 ports, only 3 or 3.1 (blue). I have seen some threads mention that, but I’m not sure why.
Moving to different USB ports hasn’t helped, sadly. Posting more in case it helps anyone else diagnose.
Thanks for trying!


It hasn’t come back, and I’m not sure what I did to cause it to appear!
Are you suggesting doing something from the PC end while it’s in fastboot? I can get to fastboot any time with the physical buttons combinations. I’ve already wiped to factory.
Curious. Now, when plugged in, it takes 30s to power on and get stuck on the white background colorful Google. Not plugged in, 5sec doesn’t do anything. 30s didn’t do anything. But 1s in the fastboot combo vibrated once and opened fastboot.
Tried “Reboot Bootloader” - it just turned off, as far as I can tell.
Tried “Start” - it just turned off, as far as I can tell.
Tried “Recovery Mode” - went to white background colorful “Google”.
Tried “Rescue Mode” - white google screen, then rescue mode. I can see it in lsusb again.


If I bonk my PC speakers, the hum goes away for a while. Wiggling the wires can make it come and go. Probably a short in a wire or connecter, right? They’re 20yo.


It’s probably either Turtle Bay or somewhere in the St. Ives Compact, since they get beat on pretty often.


I really appreciate your detailed suggestion and description of what you’ve done. Especially, I like that you attribute the app developer. You’re a good egg.
Do you need any particular kind of fire stick? Do they require an Amazon login?

Must have been a Jade Falcon, quiaff?


Over the decades of novels and game fluff by 30 different authors, sometimes the head cockpit is super cramped, sometimes it has a jump seat and sometimes it’s almost comfortable for a passenger. There are two-person cockpit as well, for command mechs like the Battlemaster.
And on the tabletop, rolling the random hit location for the HD can mean the game suddenly swings in your favor. We players have probably all experienced a turn one PPC to the face!


Any number of alternative launchers. I use Nova, and I can remove the search bar, move it, change it to a different provider ( DDG), and search apps and messages and stuff at the same time.


My 2b+ is still chugging along running my webserver, hosting some scripts run by CRON, and a badly configured pi-hole. No complaints!


Nixos. It’s definitely a challenge, but I’m enjoying having my entire system built and configured by a (few) config files.


Gotcha. But they only fake it now with haptics?


Move in what way, with a click?


That’s a bit frightening.
