When my Note 8 screen cracked last Nov, UBreakIt, authorized Samsung Repair spot, fixed the display and put in a new battery. shyt was ultra fast and as responsive as any phone today. Sold it on Swappa to get the Note 10 plus though.

I need some tech help with my pixel 2xl. My laptop broke and I want to download movies to my portable hard drive from my pixel. I don't have enough space on the phone to hold a 50gb movie. How can I have it download directly to the hard drive and bypass the phone?

exFAT and NTFS are two proprietary filesystems by microsoft and they're not supported out of the box by pixel phones.

unless you're rooted with maybe a custom kernel I'm not sure how'd you'd get that functionality you want. sure there are android apps that support reading/writing to OTG external drives but thats mainly for transferring files. you want native read/write support from your download client.

you mentioned your laptop is broke. I don't know how broken it is but if it's able to power on with a working screen and keyboard, you can try using a live linux usb drive with persistence mode enabled.

Microsoft has Note 10+ 512gb for $780

Was gonna get it for a family member but don't know if the price is going to drop a lot more on Black Friday. Note 20 is about to come out too but that shyt is probably going to cost $1400

@R=G how's that Note 10+ been working out for you?
