Used to take two months of active and paid service to get them unlocked but then kind hearted person at Verizon being paid at least six figures that why not file a case with ftc and make it 12 months of active a paid service to ruin it all together for regular customers.

Isnt the Moto G Power a better deal for $90 - 2 pack with 8 Gig of RAM (assuming that we can aggregate all the minutes/data to an existing Tracfone line) - https://www.ebay.com/itm/287191137918

Took 3 hours to do numerous updates. Now it's on Android 16 and feels a lot slower sadly.
Wait for it to finish caching. I got two of these and fully updated one and left the other on OneUI 6.0/Android 14 and they both feel about the same so far in extremely limited testing.

Does anyone know, can you buy this but activate Tracfone using another phone?
Generally, no. The plan is tied to the SIM # and IMEI in Tracfone's database, and the plan isn't a separate item. You can activate this phone & redeem the included plan, and then transfer (with a new BYOP SIM card) to your phone of choice.

Mine felt like that with the default high refresh rate of 90hz i had to put it on standard. My battery only had 2 full cycles from 0-100 so basically new with 99.8% of rated capacity.

Where are you accessing battery cycle count? There's nothing on the phone to indicate that. 1 app I downloaded said 103% capacity, 1 said 93% capacity. In other words, inaccurate.
What app u using? For some reason Accubattery doesn't work on the Samsung or android 16, not sure what the issue is

I checked it using ADB, for those that aren't familiar it would be easier to google "how to check android battery health and capacity using adb", you'll find a bunch of tutorials and videos. Quick rundown, it consists of turning on the developer mode, turning on adb setting, downloading something on your computer, firing up a terminal and running "adb shell dumpsys battery"

mSavedBatteryAsoc will give you the reading of the associated state of charge as a percentage of its maximum capacity.

If you don't want to do all this, the most accurate app I've found to estimate battery health is accubattery but it needs to go through 5 charge cycles to get a decent estimate.

mSavedBatteryUsage is the one that lets you know the cycle count. Just remove the last two digits. Mine was 200 so 2
