[chbot] Chchrobotics Digest, Vol 145, Issue 8

[Bevin Brett]

I replaced the battery in my Moto-X with little effort – so check the replacement instructions before dismissing phones that can’t just pop the battery out

I bought a Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) specifically because it's
supported by [LineageOS](https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lineageos.org%2F&data=02%7C01%7C%7C80e13d67bd514d96843508d757a82f6e%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637074252188220629&sdata=9WM7WbSdaHhEzTNf0Lmloi4bnWusYWS2%2BF%2FWADcw8uE%3D&reserved=0).  Installation
was painless and the LineageOS installation has been stable.  It's not
the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy but it renders OpenStreetMap
well enough for NZ geodata.

The battery on the Galaxy A5 is built in unfortunately.

It has this.

And this.

USB C, so you may need new cables but they seems to be better made
than cheap USB micro B cables at least.

3G RAM
