My daughters phone went to the heavens .. Not looking to spend a ton on it and was wondering if anyone had a old phone they were willing to sell. If so that would be awesome. Thanks

Just out of curiosity, What kind of phone went to the heavens? and what was the issue? I like working on broken electronics.

Its an old Samsung Galaxy 8 .. Screen just goes black on it, super weird because it will work for a bit and than stop working.

I don't know if you have googled the issue much, but it looks like it is the firmware crashing. Have you tried doing a forced reboot by holding the volume down and power keys for ~10 seconds?

Don't know your budget, but I've had success with getting our kids Motorola g Power phones. Retail for $200, but you can find them on sale for even less at times. Nothing fancy and kinda bulky, but battery life is exceptional.
