He ordered it from the global store a few month ago, it took ~2-3 weeks to ship to germany.
Thats the only issues he told me. I also tried it for a day and didnt notice anything else it cant do, which i need. He and I only need it to show notifications/calls, track steps/heart rate, have a working alarm and show the time. I also didnt have the disconnect and notification issues, that he had.
My dad got one shipped (imported) to germany for less than 50Eur. The 3 issues he had was that the notifications didn’t work on his phone (an android update fixed that), random disconnects on some phone models and that the current alarm app only supports one alarm.
I dont know how you flashed the usb, but it seems like the installer is damaged. Try redownloading the iso, check the file hash, flash the usb drive with balena etcher and reinstall.
Did you change the partition layout in the installer?
If you are ok with learing something, then I suggest renting a VPS, its your own part of a computer in a data center. I had one from a local provider that cost 7€/month for 6 cores, 18gb ram and 256gb ssd storage, way cheaper than any mc server provider Ive seen. The thing is you have to do a lot yourself, but there are great tutoral on how to run mc servers on linux. You can run something like Lodestone and have a webui for your servers, but you dont have to.
