my 6a has been nothing but shit. You cant charge it and run the GPS at the same time or it overheats. Thats just one of the many issues ive had with it.

Was considering the 6a until I saw the charge speed and screen to body ratio.

Sometimes even when I'm just browsing lemmy it decides the screen needs to be dimmed for the next 20 minutes because im just being so very strenuous on it by looking at memes.

My friends 6a and his wife's both have a display issue where the screen just randomly turns green. Restarting fixes it, but what the hell!

I have the same problem, but only when I run the GPS under sunlight in a car. I wonder if other phones have the same problem under those conditions? Can anyone else chip in?

Oh holy shit. I've done that a few times. Completely using GPS by audio and without thinking I put the phone down in the Sun. I've never done it more than 10 or 15 minutes before I remembered and every time it would be so fucking hot. Even with the screen off and everything which really should have helped keep it cool you know?

The big problem here I was an instacart driver at the time so I had all these fucking weird things I had to do with my phone to make sure it didn't explode while I was trying to keep it charged so I could work all day.

Yeah, the only thing I've had help is if I got an ac vent mount for the phone and had the ac going - if you get a small enough mount the cold air hits the phone and keeps it cool. But phone under the sun is BRUTAL.

I had a very recessed holder place that was pretty much always in the shadow no matter what direction I was facing I just got used to doing everything audio and tucking it down in there. It was really annoying because I honestly liked having the thing in my field of view to follow the GPS that way so the stupid voice didn't keep talking over my goddamn music.

IT TOOK MY MUSIC FROM ME MAN
