So I purchased a phone off craigslist in NY, (The phone itself doesn't have a scratch on it) for 0. Seemed like a reasonable deal, so I gave the guy the money, gave the phone a good one over and I was on my way, Of course he neglected to mention that it had a bad battery (turns off if I used the camera or if it drops below 65%, battery swell that caused the back plate to protrude, bla bla bla), I should have realized the sighs as per below.
1. Ensure trust: He ran out to check on his double parked car and left his wallet right in front of me (in a Starbucks).
2. Deceit: He claimed to sell phones as a side gig but offered to purchase my old scratched note 3.
3. Bull ****: Though I'm just a simple technical specialist at my job, he made feel like I was the man. He claims to have his own design firm with pending patents holding him back at the moment.
I had the itch and it clouded my better judgment, fortunately I purchased a replacement battery from eBay for , followed some simple instructions on YouTube, 45 minutes later some superflex glue, a screw driver (T3 or T4 not sure I have a complete set) and all is well. The screws in this phone are in very tight so those cheap sets will not cut it.
