Android device manager saved my ass yesterday

Well actually it helped me find my Android cell phone which I had lost yesterday.

The tool will locate the device fairly accurately.

I thought I'd left my phone at IGA, but it had made it back to the car. Ironically it was found hiding in the folds of an umbrella.

Feel less naked now

I went to Fido booth at Galerie des Sources to ask about my phone and I was told it was discontinued.  So I did a search on Kijiji for Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini Fido, and there was one ad that showed up Sunday, but it seemed the person was in Gatineau. As it turned out it was more of an error. I guess she put her street as Masson and it assumed Gatineau.  This is probably how I got lucky getting this phone. People assumed she was in Gatineau. Anyways, she sold me her functional phone for $140.  So now I have a phone again and feel so much better.

My friend met me at work with her 2 doggies to drive me to Rosemont to pick up the phone, near Masson and 1st avenue. Reminded me that my mom grew up in Rosemont and we used to visit my grandma's two sisters on 2nd avenue near Masson.

Suffering Withdrawal

I'm now suffering withdrawal from my Samsung Galaxy S4 mini! I still don't have a functional phone. These are my options:

1) Getting fixed = $500 or more
2) Buying a new one on Amazon unlocked = $350
3) Buying a 2nd hand one on Kijiji = $140 - $200
4) Getting another phone from Fido {not sure I'm ready to change phones]

For sure new phone could not be bigger then the Galaxy S4 mini!

Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini screens in high demand?

So today I went to UBrokeitIfix it with my phone that no longer displays. I told the guy the problem and the model of the phone and he was like, the part for your phone is phenomenally expensive. He said, it would cost in excess of $500 for parts and labour. Suggested I get myself a new phone instead.

Now looking at buying a used functional Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini. You wouldn't think it would be so expensive to get a phone fixed?!?!?!

I broke my Samsung Galaxy S4 mini

Last night when I got home from my friends house, my phone slipped from my hands when I was unlocking the door. Considering that I have an Otter box, I didn't think too much of it until I tried using it a bit later.

I broke the display. Now only displays in black. I looked on Kijiji, I found that for my phone they charge about $140 to fix the display. I can also get a used Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini between $160-200 on Kijiji. Have no clue what I will do.  I will also go to FIDO to see if they still sell the Galaxy S4 mini's  or  if I want a newer phone.

I had almost ordered a new battery for my Samsung Galaxy S4 mini yesterday on Amazon. I got as far as putting it on my shopping cart and then decided to think about it.  Well at least if I get a new phone I won't have a battery that does not match.
