And no, flipping the connector, using other USB cables, turning USB debugging on/off are not helping.

    Also, sometimes it works to flip the USB-C connector over...try it both ways, even though it physically fits into your phone no matter how you turn it. Sometimes even my USB drives don't mount for file transfer on the phone until I flip it around.

          Great phone. I made sure that it was only charged with a slow charger to keep the heat down. The phone has a good front camera for video calls. If one wishes to, they can install the latest aftermarket Android operating system.
          There's one aftermarket custom OS option which gets updates over the air. It's called HavocOS https://havoc-os.com/download . Remember to save the Digital Rights Management keys before unlocking the bootloader, otherwise they are permanently lost.

            I really wanted this phone. It's really hard to find it now in my country. This is particularly the best compact phone I need to have it

                  bought a used XZ1c from japan (docomo) earlier this year and it's quickly becoming my favorite phone so far! the battery is still top notch and it's still at 96% health according to the service menu (2600/2700mah). 2600mah may not sound that much to most people but you can easily go a few days without needing to charge it cuz it's pretty overkill for a 720p phone.

                  the only downside is it's stuck with android 9 and 32gb is kinda shit tbh but if you're only using it for calls/whatsapp/telegram like me you'll probably be fine.

                    My phone has three years and it has the same battery and speed as the first day, it is amazing.
                    I hope it last many more years, as there aren't any new phones with that size. I don't like I don't get any new Android security patches... but I take the risk.
                    Why are all new smartphones so big?
                    I would like to get this exact phone but with a 2021 SoC.

                      The phone is a great disappointment as the microphone isn't working properly: no one can hear me! ALL my correspondents complain that the sound they hear is either awful or non-existant. I would never recommend it to anyone!

                        Hello there, great phone for me since 2 years but I'd like to know if any of you tried cloud gaming please on it and if there were one without any input lag using Bluetooth and dualshock 4 please?

                        GeForce now has horrible input lag on rocket league when I play on wifi 1gb

                          I owned a lot of phones, this one is the best for me, so far! Still towards 2022.
                          Do not like messy cover and hulls on the phone, so G8441 you can use without all that cra.
