Did they still make you pay for the $200 for the screen?

I wish I could get a phone with plain Linux but I don't think that my carrier (Comcast Mobile) supports any of them. I once used an unsupported phone, and the 4G would work for only a few minutes after a reboot (so it probably is an artificial problem).

This seems curious, any unlocked phone regardless of OS should work on any network. Tech support should be able to help you with connection issues, and if not, I would try a different carrier.

Yes it should but it doesn't... a new carrier would probably be the easiest option.

In fact, they reinstalled the cracked screen before giving it back to me.
