Thanks! It eventually came too with many hours of charging.

I love having ubuntu on my phone.

sometimes it is completely blank or the charging battery icon shows on the
screen. Occasionally the screen shows the Google logo followed by the
Ubuntu circle but then the screen goes blank again.

hand, severely used, and the battery didn't last very long. Even after
wiping android (yep, Ubuntu has better battery life). Found it's trivially
easy to buy a new battery and replace it, if you're comfortable opening up
your phone. Actually, have now replaced most of it... frame, back cover,
front lcd & digitiser x 3... have been a bit hard on the poor device. Good
luck with it.
