On my old phone I had an issue with the proximity sensor and front facing camera. This led me to holding my phone backwards to take photos and being unable to hang up phone calls.

I think I put up with this for a year and a half.

I did end up figuring out the issue with the proximity sensor but opening up my phone to reconnect the camera module was too much effort for me.

    Used an OG Google pixel until about a year ago. Had to replace the battery a couple times but otherwise still mostly ran like it was brand new.

    Have a Samsung Galaxy. Screen cracked by itself several months after getting it, however I was busy, didn’t have time to take it in and got used to it. Now the warranty is expired so I can’t get the screen replaced anymore. I cope by believing they wouldn’t have replaced it and would have told me it was somehow my fault despite using a fairly heavy case and not being a phone-dropper/slammer.
