apparently I didn’t ask the correct question with my last post: I’m looking for a foss messenger I can also send audio and video with and have a conversation over the smartphone not needing to use voip (and not needing a phone number).
I’m using a Pixel 6 Pro right now, and I’m looking around to see if there are any good phones. However, I have heard that there are ads in the newer flagship phones (Samsung, Xiaomi). I am willing to spend around USD$750 on a new phone, but I just don’t want any crazy ads or preinstalled apps like Facebook. Are there...

Hi there, I’ve had a broken phone lying around for ages, only kept it as I know there are some pictures and files I wish I could gain access to again. I’ve tried a variety of methods gaining access to the files, but it doesn’t seem possible as I cannot actually use the screen to “allow usb transfer” etc… Is there any...
I have encountered a problem where all calls I take are routed through my louder speaker as if I’m always on speaker phone. My OS is a custom ROM called /E/ OS. If anyone has a solution I would love to hear it!
