The beautiful smartphone Lg G2 D802, after an unsuccessful replacement of the wheelbarrow, retired. The device works, the touch is buggy, which, in principle, does not interfere with some initial settings. The image on the display is with a small artifact (spot), if you do not look closely - it is not noticeable from two meters.
It's a pity to throw it away, it's impossible to use it for its intended purpose. If you sell for spare parts, they give quite a penny, and there are a lot of offers on the market.
The question is - can something useful be done from it for the home, for the family? Share your experience plz.

In principle, anything - a photo frame, an announcer, brains for a "smart home", an observer, an intercom ...
You can plug in an OTG cable, and there a mouse and use it almost like a desktop.

Connect to the TV, if possible, you can also connect a mouse wirelessly or a joystick. And there will be a home console

In short, there is software to deploy an image of a unix system based on android.
That is, right in the phone there will be a fully functional OS to choose from.
In fact, the smartphone is weak, but the computer, you install kali linux or freebsd and configure what you need on it.
Next, drag the phone to the free Wi-Fi.
Connect to wifi, send ssh, leave phone.
You come home, pick up the phone, tadaaam, here's a proxy for you.
Well, or ... if you know how to solder, then you can make Remote Control ala smart home.
But this is all a collective farm and is wasting time, release the phone for retirement or sell it at a pawnshop IMHO.

You can make an access point with distribution via Wi-Fi (or USB). You leave somewhere with a laptop - you will have Internet

If initially there are no thoughts, then it is better to send it to the bins (slow death), or immediately to the trash can (instant death). And use the freed space in the head in a more understandable way.
