Ask HN: If I get locked out of everything, please try to help me
For no apparent reason, my phone just mysteriously was no longer stuck this evening and no longer unable to complete setup. I'm guessing someone contacted someone at Google but I don't actually know that.I did buy a wireless charger to try to resolve the issue with the dead phone. After I bought it, we thought to look up the make and model of both phones. Neither of them can be charged that way.So lesson learned: Look up such info first. If you need to help someone, keep that in mind and actually tell them (and make sure they got the memo -- if someone said this here, I didn't notice), especially if money is tight, they live without a car and/or are handicapped such that small errands and small expenses can be a painful burden.I'm still nervous that this may not actually be resolved. One detail is not working and I suspect I know why and I think it will likely be resolved tomorrow (crosses fingers), but I said I would update when I had news, so that's what I'm doing.(Posted from my phone.)
