A fucking headphone jack

I feel like I wouldn’t mind the lack of headphone jack so much if they just gave us another USB-C port on the bottom instead so you can charge and listen to music without a dongle.

I’ve really tried hard with these usb-c headphones / adapters and they just don’t work very well for me. They function mostly, but much more often come unplugged or slightly ajar.

Because the audio jack is the perfect connector for its purpose: It’s omnidirectional, the connection is as wide as it comes, and it locks the plug. The point for using a USB-C connector would be that it’s more versatile as you can use it for data transfer and power as well.

How did we end up in a world where this is a niche feature. 😭😭

Been using sync (paid) for over 10 years, will instantly buy a Lemmy version

I’ve never used sync, what makes it compelling?

Clbull , in Reddit Sync Dev Gauging Interest on Developing Sync for Lemmy

Jerboa is pretty dog crap, so having Sync or Apollo switch to supporting Lemmy, Tildes, Kbin, etc would be great.

Guest_User ,

Disagree, Jerboa is actually pretty damn good. Some QOL updates are needed sure, but over all it’s good.

As a fellow iOS user, Memmy is pretty sweet for a version 0.0 beta app.

Would you like a more ‘Material’ lemmy app on iOS??

feifei ,

No

NocturnalNebula OP ,

How have I not found this!?

I wanted to check out Mlem, but it’s full. Lemur I think is discontinued. There is one that’s coming called Artemis, but that’s not available yet.

Memmy is honestly just what I was looking for. Cheers!

lesnake ,

Im using jerboa and it looks great!

LordShrek , in Is there any good small Android phone?

Hi everyone, first comment on here. Going to try to get an MVP out within the next 3-6 weeks.

I’ll be posting updates on discord:

Minimum viable product

Robocopsicle ,

This is going to be a game changer. I’ve been using Sync Pro since 2015 and can’t see myself using anything else for mobile browsing. Thanks for the awesome app!

    We’ve been using it for sync development for the last few years.

    When there’s enough to release of course they’ll be changelog and posts etc too.

    gears , in What niche phone features would appeal to you?

    I miss having a notification LED. It used to be super common to have a “breathing” effect with a given color when an app had sent a notification.

    So a Snapchat for example would show the breathing as yellow, etc. Super convenient to check for messages without going and grabbing the phone.

    mazkarth ,

    I think the galaxy s9 was the last that had that for the galaxy seriesm. When I got my S20U I handed my s8plus? The flagship to my mum. I still miss the notification light and it’s such a shame that we can’t even use the AMOLED screen to emulate the notification light.

    HidingCat , in Fairphone 5 leaked renders

    No 3.5mm jack in a sustainable phone feels very wrong still, especially since they are touting their own wireless earphones.

    eochaid , in WearOS suggestions
    @eochaid@lemmy.world avatar

    Fossil and Mobvid’s TicWatches are normally my go to alternatives, but personally, I haven’t been impressed with their latest offerings. Google and Samsung really do have the best WearOS devices, if that’s what you’re looking for.

    That said, I realized recently I wasn’t using most of the features in WearOS. I had a dozen apps and barely used any of them. All I really used it for was notifications, music controls, and as a basic step counter.

    Picked up a PineTime and I’m pretty happy with it. It’s basic, but it’s cheap, repairable, and I can flash alternate firmware/oses on it easily with gadgetbridge.

    @mcherm@lemmy.world avatar

    A swappable battery. I could buy a few batteries and never be out of power. I could replace the battery on an older phone without pretty much having to replace the phone itself.

    balance_sheet , in Is there a way to make Android's built-in night light even more intense?

    If you’re using Samsung there’s a feature called Extra Dim that does exactly what you want.

    GlitzyArmrest OP ,
    @GlitzyArmrest@lemmy.world avatar

    I have a Pixel. However, it also has an extra dimming mode, but it doesn’t actually remove blue or anything like that. Just makes the screen go darker.

    M_Reimer , in EU votes to mandate removable batteries in smartphones in a landslide; no more glued together junk!

    And now they just have to force manufacturers to either at least security patch devices for, let’s say 10 years, or force them to open source everything the community needs to continue supporting this device. It never happened to me that the battery died before support ended.

    Just had that issue with my Pixel 3a XL. No more security updates. Had to replace it with a Pixel 6a but I liked the 3a XL more. It there was any community support for the 3a XL, I would rather sell my 6a again.

    M_Reimer , in What niche phone features would appeal to you?

    Native Bluetooth GPS support. I do mapping for OpenStreetMap a lot and the built in GPS modules are just too bad for that. Currently I have to use an app to get my Bluetooth GPS connected. But sometimes this app fails and the built in GPS takes over and ruins my logs.

    blayde , in Why are custom roms so much device specific while any linux distro works on any pc?

    It took a lot of work to get PC parts to become interoperable. There’s all kinds of special negotiations that happen at boot to discover the state of hardware. There are standard drivers for most peripherals

    Mobile devices aren’t expected to change hardware so everything is hard-coded into the ROM. No discovery protocols are supported. Standardized drivers make it hard to ship new features or squeeze every last bit of performance so no effort goes into making them
