My old phone decided to stop recognizing a charge. It's an annoying problem compounded by the fact that my work requires an MFA code sent to my phone via app or text so I can access my computer. Otherwise, I have to call the help desk to get a bypass code that's only good for 24 hours.
I quickly when out to get a replacement for my old Samsung Galaxy S20 FE. It's a good thing I did, because I got a call back from the repair shop telling me the old phone likely has a board issue and so it's not repairable at this point.
So, I am now the proud owner of a new Samsung Galaxy Brick. Just kidding. It's the S24 Ultra. I opted for it over the S24 because of the titanium frame and longer battery life. Buy once, cry once, right?
Here's the brick...er phone, in all of its stock image glory.
Fortunately, it didn't take long to import keys and get back up and running here on Hive. Thank goodness for backups!
I managed to back up contacts and photos to the SD card, so I'll work on getting it all imported to the new phone. I'm sure there are some apps I'm overlooking, but if I don't remember them, then I guess I didn't use them enough to be worth putting back on the new phone, right? This new phone should last me a long time, so at least moving forward, things will go much more smoothly.
