The battery is draining still as it did no issues with memory... the camera has taken some awesome sunsets..so all in all I still love the phone.. so anyone who is considering purchasing one if they are still available.. go for it 👍👌

My jaw dropped when he said "next - you have fourty-four screws you need to remove on the front".... Double-checked - and it's "four T4 screws" :-D

Where is the sensor that says the phone is closed? Mine reads it closed when it's only 3/4 of the way closed and back open when it's fully closed. My first one did that but it was under warranty so I got a different one for free. The one is not under warranty so I'm stuck with no outside display now and I have to make sure to manually turn the screen off with the power button or it stays on while in my pocket because the sensor is telling the phone it's open.. when. It's really closed..

No it still sits down flush but is not as crease-less as it was out of the box.
