darklamer , in Any way to get notifications sooner?
@darklamer@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

FWIW, this is not normal or expected, most users get their notifications more or less instantaneously. Maybe knowing this might help you search for information about whatever it may be that prevents this from working for you.

Oh neat

LostWanderer , in Google is expanding Gemini access inside Google Messages to more devices

Thank goodness I switched to Apple before this nonsense got deployed; their Apple Intelligence is opt-in and not being forced on users. Google and Microsoft truly botched the deployment of their LLM experiments by forcing it into first party apps and not giving users a choice.

n3m37h , in Google is expanding Gemini access inside Google Messages to more devices

How bout let us opt into this stupid bullshit instead of handing us a barely functional piece of software

Bluefruit ,

How else are they going to train the ai on all your information if you opt out?

Brujones ,

This was the push I needed to switch to Graphene. The Gemini offer popped up for me a couple of weeks ago. The only options were something like ‘Yes’ or ‘Not now’. No option to say never, which of course means they would bug me again and again.

So I reported it as Spam and made the jump.

owatnext , in This new Find My Device Network....
@owatnext@lemmy.world avatar

Personally, I turned it off. I don’t like that feature. Maybe others will or are doing the same.

blindbunny , in LineageOS 21 now officially supports the Nintendo Switch

Good bye Nintendo

heartsofwar , in CCWGTV never goes to idle

A few things:

  • Several of your devices have the feature you want, but you ignore or defeat them because you want another feature as well (play next episode, etc)
  • You could look into Google Home Automations, on your Android phone, where you set a specific time, 00:30, to automatically turn off the CCwGTV.
  • Last, this is one area where home audio / video (AV) receivers help; just connect everything to the AV receiver and when it goes off, due to its sleep timer, everything else goes with it. Likewise, when you turn on the AV receiver, everything else plugged in turns on.
rambos OP ,

Thanks for input.

Several of your devices have the feature you want, but you ignore or defeat them because you want another feature as well (play next episode, etc)

Well the projector have that feature, but I’m not happy with it because CEC is not working. I end up with half solution because sound is still playing from BT speaker. Other than that, if I want to continue watching I have to grab projectors remote to press a button (less important, but working on reducing number of remotes from 3 to 1).

CC works fine if I dont use autoplay next episode (it still plays movie/show untill the end), but doesn’t work if Im watching TiviMate. Again half solution unfortunately.

You could look into Google Home Automations

Specific time like 00:30 wouldn’t work for us, but I’ve been playing with home assistant yesterday and came to hopefully a great solution. I was thinking about automation that will mute sound 90 min after CC was powered on and then if I don’t disable mute in 5 min another automation turns off device. Sounds perfect, but need to try it out. I guess Google HA can do that as well, but I already have home assistant for other things in our house.

audio / video (AV) receivers

We dont have any AV receiver yet, CC is connected to projector via HDMI and to speaker via bluetooth.

If you have other tips or you think I’m missing something, I’ll be happy to hear

Shyfer , in GrapheneOS is getting Android Auto support

Is Graphene OS good? Any downsides? I need to get a new phone soon.

pricklypearbear ,
@pricklypearbear@lemmy.world avatar

From my experience, its overall good. Its basically stock android, meaning no google smart features and apps by default, with more control over apps and google services. But for caution, some apps may break. You will have to mess around with the app settings to fix them. Also some apps will not work such as the google wallet app due to the OS not being acknowledged as official by google.

In short, its a more security focused OS that may require more involvement in configuration.

Strawberry ,

is there any way to do NFC payments with grapheneos?

quentangle ,

Google Wallet didn’t work last time I checked, but contactless payments worked perfectly well by setting my banking app as the payment app.

Not all banking apps work due to the system integrity checks they do. Support for your banking app can probably be confirmed here.

DaddleDew ,

I switched to it a year ago and I like it. The biggest draw for me is it gives me back control and ownership over my phone. It gives you actual and thorough control over what apps can do on your phone including Google’s apps, which on other typical Android OS are being given all or most permissions with no ability for you to deny access to any of them.

To gain almost all the functionality of a regular Android OS you can install Google Play Services and run it sandboxed, which means it will only do what you allow it to do and access only what you will allow it to access, which for me is the bare minimum before things stop working too much for my tastes.

Besides Android auto for now, the only thing that won’t work for me on it is my banking app, probably because of all the security checks involved in it. But I just use the browser-based online service to do my banking operations instead.

fl42v , in New OS for Pixel 3

If you want something like graphene or calyx (I.e. with additional de-googling and security improvements), take a look at DivestOS: divestos.org/pages/devices#device-blueline

Crdroid (which claims performance improvements, but also has a lot of customization options; reminds me of now deceased resurrection remix) is also good but doesn’t seem to officially support your device. There may be some ports on XDA, tho.

jacktherippah , in Alternate methods to get a screenshot

Aye, OP, check if you can find Goodlock on the Galaxy Store. Go into the “Life up” section on the Goodlock app and download Registrar. It should allow you to set either the back double /triple tap and/or a press and hold of the side button to take a screenshot, as shown here. https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/8e7ba5c8-eb16-45d8-84ca-5c42d1fca9d5.jpeg

april , in CCWGTV never goes to idle

You’re gonna need to turn off auto play or turn on a sleep timer. You already have the settings to turn it off automatically but it thinks you’re still watching.

I have a sleep timer app on my phone that usually works if I’m doing casting if the projector or apps don’t support it.

I didn’t know if jellyfin supports it but maybe a playlist that’s not infinite could function as a sleep timer too.

rambos OP ,

Thanks. Well, I could disable autoplay on jellyfin, but don’t have solution for tivi mate (iptv)

0oWow , in Android Intent Filter Verification Service

It seems to be how apps can link themselves to a URL. This service just verifies the link is good.

Here is a writeup on it: grapheneos.org/usage#app-link-verification

MrSoup OP ,

Thank you, it makes sense.

I’ve tried to install some apps from Aurora store (denying network permission) and then I saw these requests on TrackerControl, so maybe those apps wantend to be opened by default with these links.

eco_game , in best foss app for OCR?

github.com/Akylas/OSS-DocumentScanner

I use this app for scanning documents, I just tried sharing a picture to the app and running OCR on that picture, which also worked fine, so it should also fit your usecase.

nicknonya OP ,
@nicknonya@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

seems promising! thanks

pineapplelover ,

Idk if my handwriting is messy or what but the ocr comes up pretty terribly when I do it. Still probably the best pdf scanner nonetheless.

The Line messaging app is ridiculously popular in Japan, to the point where people sometimes are genuinely confused by someone trying to explain that they don’t have Line on their phone:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_(software)

foremanguy92_ , in Apps for a trip

For currency converter you can use Converter NOW, most of the clocks can show 2 différents times but for the widget don’t know sorry (using mlauncher NO widgets.), for the weather use Breezy.

You should use an offline navigation map that’s always useful where you’re not in a known country and for me that’s all.

EDIT : a good messenger like SimpleX
