First time I've ever sold a phone mid-contract, and I'm going back to my old Huawei.

Not that it's a great sales pitch, but after owning it for 7 months I've decided I really don't like it.
Camera is terrible compared to my old Huawei (if this is the best camera on a pixel to date, I feel bad for older pixel users!).
I dislike the size and the shape (I have a Mous case on it and it makes it huge to make up for the camera ledge). And without a case it's so slippery it doesn't stay still on any surface.

It doesn't bring anything to the table that my old phone didn't already excel at.

Just don't know what it's worth is my biggest problem.
Screen has a Mous protector on it, so is untouched. Have all the box etc still.

Is anyone interested in dating me?

I have herpes, my penis is smaller than your exes and I've a history of domestic abuse.

Any takerS?


On a more serious note, I came in here to ask if anyone knows of a way I can get my phone to 'come to life' at midnight.

On St Helena you have to pay for all WIFI usage and its an extremely restricted amount...however between the hours of midnight and 0600AM this is FREEEEEE, no limits.

However, I am never awake at those times. I need to upload a load of videos and download many updates, but I don't wanna set an alarm for midnight just to tell my phone to update. Is there a way I can get my phone to come out of flight mode at midnight automatically? (And ideally go into flight mode again at 0600).

All other apps work fine, and these apps themselves were working fine until yesterday. I've checked for updates and updated where relevant, uninstalled and reinstalled, cleared the cache, cleared the data, and none of these have resolved it.

No idea what else to try. Anyone had something similar with these or any other apps?

A restart usually resolves this, but then maybe 12 hours later it happens again. I've tried ejecting and reseating the sim, but it still happens maybe once or twice a day. It's getting very frustrating. Anybody else had this happen before? Is my phone strawberry floated?

I've not looked into it yet, but I remember doing some research a while back and in some aspects the 7a was better than the 7! So if they have carried on in that fashion then you will have a hell of a lot of phone for £350.

I've got a 6, and have taken a stupid oath that I won't upgrade until the 10 comes out.
