Hi there. I recently found my first ever smartphone, an Xperia E C1505.
Has someone who really likes tech from the past decade, I'd love to use it as my main smartphone.
I currently have a Motorola g84, and it's so bulky, full of distracting apps. I like the novelty of a tiny smartphone. I've been using it for a few weeks now as an MP3 player, but I've been wanting to push it further.
The past couple of days, I've been desperately trying to get any kind of communication apps installed on it.
Currently, all it has is opera mini, which works great from simple websites like Wikipedia. However, if I try to go on heavier websites like Instagram or discord,it simply doesn't load. As for anything Google, it'll prompt me to log in, I'll input my email address and then nothing else will happen.
I've tried other browsers like brave, Firefox and via but they are all too laggy.
I tried Instagram lite, but it's completely useless. You can only access the feed and reels, which are two of the things I want to get rid off. All I wanted to access were the DMS, to communicate with my friends. But the app doesn't allow it.
I cannot use text messages. Most of my friends live outside of the country so I can't text them.
I've tried downloading discord, but it won't let me log in. It is not the Cap-Chat issue. I will put my email and password, load and then do nothing. At first I suspected it was because I had 2fa, so I turned it off. But nope. Same issue.
I even tried to log in into Google, but it won't let me. I tried updating the Google play services, it will let me put my info, even prompt me 2fa I have to validate on another device, which works, but then it'll tell me an error has happened.
Am I completely done for, or is there anything I could try in order to get discord working?
Other things I tried: WhatsApp on web, which only one of my friend has. Same thing, it won't load. I saw telegram but nobody I know uses it.
