Somehow I accumulated 3 cell phones...a Nexus 4, 5 & 6...figured I'd never need another...if one fails I have two more...not so...within 2 weeks the charging port on the 5 failed and then the display on the 4 started to pop off as did the back...wtf? fair bit of force required to push it back and it would not stay in place...the only thing I could think of was the battery was failing and expanding...bought a replacement assembly for the 5...that was an easy replacement...popped open the 4 and the battery was "inflated"...should be a flat rectangle maybe an eighth of an inch thick...it was not...did not know the Nexus 4 had a replaceable battery...looks like it and the 5 do...now I need to find one. And...repairs are easy.

He (she?) was between me and the door...I thought of turning around...going home...and going back to bed but luckily for me he hopped off.....another Friday.
