My phone is getting old. 2018 note 9. I like the phone. When the interface failed 3 years ago I paid 300 and some odd dollars to get it fixed. 3 months ago I had the 3rd battery put in for 60, which was a good deal. 7 months ago I dropped the phone on the pavement from getting out of the car. Landed face down. It still worked but had small cracks in the glass. When I first got it I had liquid glass put over it. This is what cracked. It's been getting worse in the cracking since. Guy said I need a new screen. 280 dollars. I was thinking about doing it but I held off because of the age of the phone. I put packing tape on the worse cracks, little pieces of tape. Now, last week I see in the morning a dark 3/8 inch sliver of something on my white cutting board board, where I sit to eat at the table. Thought it was weird some food scrap. I go to pick up my phone to turn it on. Doesn't turn on. I try several times. I look closer, the little small rectangular side button is gone. Yep that piece on my cutting board is the button. I put it in and press , phone goes on. But the piece falls out. I cut a small piece of packing tape and wrap it around button and 2 sides of the phone. So far after a week , no problem turning it on & off. In life when problems arise, we have to get creative. In the last 2 years , there has been a lot of creativity here. Well after this debacle, I come to the conclusion it is time for a new phone. Sadly no more note phones are made. Went to T- mobile to get a new phone. I would pay it off. A big catch is I would need 85 dollars upfront. I said put it on my bill. No can do says them. Iv'e been with them as Sprint customer for 25 years. I am greatfull that my old phone is still working. Soon I will get a new phone.
Always work with what you got.
