actually, no. they have promised a replacement i3c board only to those that have the defective board AND have demonstrated to their satisfaction that i2c is insufficient for a specific use case the user has.

There are 10,000 phones out there and have been for 4 months, it’s certain that some of them will fail and need spares. I was willing to wait, but 4 months is a bit too much, and moreover I did not expect the board to fail so soon; that’s as much a bug as I3C and shares the same solution, with the difference that this one makes the phone unusable. Moreover I’m willing to pay for the board, although I could request a warranty repair.

I got my camera dust replaced phone about 2-3weeks ago and it got really hot while charging the other day… Its also already have been wanky charging it
if your usbc port is unusable, i suggest that you request a warranty repair immediately. you may get the i3c board, as they will definitely just send you a new phone.
it will take…awhile…but will definitely be faster than waiting for them to sell the sub boards, and you cant use your phone in the meantime anyway.

The phone charges now after attempted repair, although data won’t work.
mm. if it were me, i would probably do what youre doing and wait, though the board is likely to break irreparably again.
maybe do daily backups, at least to an sdcard. (like, rsync commhistory.db and DCIM every 4 hours or something)
for me, the only reason i would care about usb data is if they ever release flashable images. for large transfers, microsd is usually about as fast or faster, and wifi is more convenient, so usb is usually not a compelling use case. plus htheb’s android auto solution supports wifi+bt, so i actually cant think of another need i personally would ever have.

I can think of one:
Due to the missing headphone jack I need a USB-C DAC…
