I have found the translation from camera source feature useful in Google Translate and I use it from time to time. Last night was one such occasion, yet when I attempted to enable camera mode, I received the message shown in the screenshot, “Please install the latest Google app in order to use camera translation”. I...
I want to install a (or build my own) custom AOSP-based OS on my Samsung Galaxy J3 SM-J337W that has microG instead of the proprietary Google Play Services. Please forgive me if I’m doing something stupid: I’m a complete noob with this....
See title. I’ve heard that the S23 and S24 have region locking for international SIM/eSIMs, is this true? (ie: SIM refuses to work because of software lock)
I am trying to set up a plan with a smaller carrier, but I have a feeling that since they are not on Google’s allowlist (even though I live in Canada), they will not let me use 5G with them. The Pixel watch supported carrier list also makes no sense, because for some reason the new carriers for the watch 2 don’t support the...
I live in Canada. My girlfriend is Chinese (also living in Canada), and while we are able to communicate via SMS, her mobile carrier isn’t the best, and so there have often been issues for us with regular texting. She expressed a strong preference to use WeChat, at least as a backup option for when texting fails us. While I...
So I sideloaded few apps that are already present in playstore. But whenever I go to my updates menu , I can see all my apps installed via playstore as well as side loaded. Is there a way to stop this?

I find that I just default to opening URLs in Fennec, which is far from ideal as I have to load the whole website (and it’s quite laggy on my Pixel 3a). So I turn to Lemmy: what...
I’ve preferred Pixel phones for the last few years but I’ve heard that Pixel 6/7 had 5G connection problems (Pixel 8 apparently has a better modem, but I think I’d rather stick to a Qualcomm design for now)....
I just found my first phone ever and decided to start it up. I found out the password and decided to factory reset it since I’m planning on selling it. However, ever since I resetted it, it has been stuck on the same “Installing applications” screen (see image). I tried the volume up+power button+home button tactic and...
Any recommendations for an sport/activity tracking app? FOSS would be super but I’m open to all suggestions! I’ve been walking more and wondering just how far I’ve been going and at what pace....
I need a FOSS contact apps and only condition is, it should integrate with my system contacts so that I can use it with my dialer,messenger,etc. (Tried Connect you but too buggy)
