android

Long story short: I don’t like iOS but have been using an iPhone for a couple years due to lack of personally viable hardware options on the Android side of things. I’ve gotten tired of waiting and found a good deal on an open box Pixel 8 Pro which arrives in a few days, I’ll be installing GrapheneOS on it....

I am looking to buy a phone that has very good performance and great camera. I have found the Xiaomi 12t pro for less than 300€, do you think it’s a good purchase? Any phones you would recommend on that prixe range that are better?...

After 2 years and 3 months my pixel 6 got too hot one too many times while charging and using and the battery expanded. Now I replaced it and got a pixel 8....

I remember reading an article where the government and Google were able to read notifications and record them from every android device. I wonder if Graphene might have patched this problem, and if not, do they have any plans to do so?...

Preferably, apps that can be installed from F-Droid. APK recommendations are acceptable too.

Okay this is an AOSP feature, see first comment...

I use Tidal. My friends all use Spotify. I use Songwhip to convert Tidal URLs to Spotify URLs. Is there a way where I could make URLs share to the end of a songwhip URL?...

Hey folks,...

Is there anyone else that isn’t on Samsung or using the Samsung APK of Google Messages that actually HAS customizable bubbles?...

It’s for a 2007 gmc sierra if you have a GM specific recommendation. I tried a couple random apps but they don’t seem to find the “service airbag” error on my dash....

Hi....

Is anyone aware of a community on Lemmy focused on ports of Android nsfw games? Similar to r/androidnsfwgaming

I am looking for an app that allows me to combine up to 20 images into a grid. That’s it....

Can anyone tell me why such a basic feature is so hard to find or does not come by default in phones nowadays?...

according to the vendor, pixel 7a can scale up to 90Hz. Will that also be the case with graphene or lineage or is this something that completely depends on software?...

My wife is in the market for a new phone. Her highest priority is that it’s small. She has it narrowed down to a Galaxy S23 or a Zenphone 10. The Samsung is the safe bet, especially since she’s upgrading from an S10e. And even so, we can just got to T-mobile and play with one. The Zenphone is a bit riskier as it’s...

I’ve been using Dropbox to sync my KeePass database for years, but I want to switch to Syncthing. My only concern is losing a password due to file versioning. Usually if I have KeePass open on both my phone and PC, there will be a conflict when saving to database, so Dropbox creates a conflicted copy. In some cases that means...

Hi,...

the android device I might buy with the audio format I usually listen to....

if I buy a pixel 7a within the next 5 days they’ll add on top of the 20% off they already offered, a free pair of pixel a-series buds (retail price $100), so I’d get a 33% discount on both items....

I visited 3 stores looking for the pixels 7a. One of these stores (best buy) sells it at a 20% discount for only 2 weeks, brand new, 128 GB, so I may go for it to buy and nuke to install graphene OS, then relock it....

When I go to bed I use my smartphone to listen to something soothing and I fall asleep. It usually takes less than an hour....

I have been trying to reduce distractions from my phone. I have installed a simple launcher (Niagara), and turned off system notifications on almost all apps....

thinking about paying $500 for a pixel 6 to nuke it and install either lineage or graphene. Main reasons: security, I want to degoogle, hate bloatware, I want complete freedom to choose what apps I want on my device, smartphones are notoriously known for their short support cycles (to me 4 years is not enough)....
