I’ve never hear of a typing notification…and I gotta say, that sounds absolutely horrible.

Its probably only to get you in the app, maybe you start typing a message to someone else while you wait for the first, and that person start typing a message to someone and the chain eventually gets to the first person distracting them from finishing their message to you creating a terrible cycle of pointless notifications and you still have no idea why you opened the app.

the fanart for 18 is going to be interesting…further investigation will be required.

It would also help to limit how many times you can click the “10 more minutes” button. Sure you can have an extra 10 to finish up whatever you’re watching/playing/etc, but after that you’re done.

If it functions like the headline suggests;

It’s for when you’re already on the phone with them, if they start asking for your name, address and social security number the systems says “scam detected”.

Its a similar problem with Proton for me. Proton doesn’t even let you sync to 3rd party cal app on the free tier.

If you’re going to paywall basic functionality, that just prevents me from trying it for a while and eventually become so tied to it, it’s difficult to break free. Google had the right plan from the get-go.

Same, oddly enough the app name and icon didn’t change for me. Still K-9 in app settings too.

You know, I have obtainium but often forget it exists.

Welp my phone updated to 15 today…guess I can join the bugged syncthing-fork club.

Looks like it is fixed in the latest release, just have to wait until it gets pushes to fdroid.

Not really the answer to your question, but maybe my recent experience will help.

A lot of apps can export settings. Having recently joined the alternative android club, that was a definitely a time saver. On my last phone transfer I spent a few day when I had time reconfiguring every app, this time around all my main apps were pretty much fully setup in an hour.

For an “app list”, I just took a screen shot of my home screen layout and app drawer. Had everything downloading in about 10 minutes. Home screen took a bit to put back together. If you can export the launcher config, maybe restoring it after you’ve downloaded everything will restore home screen layout too…no clue, I never tried that one.

Sounds like a bug and the dev hasn’t caught up to the new version?

one has micro transactions that googles gets to skim from and the other doesn’t.

I use K-9 mail (its on F-droid too).

Its soon to be the Thunderbird mobile client.

That’s a fair point. I set up totp as a backup, but most won’t.

So the remote screen lock only takes a phone number? No sign in necessary??? Edit: It needs a “security challange”, so better than nothing. The funnier part is you need a phone to call their number after visiting the website. At least with “Find my” I can just login anywhere and lock it.

Could I enter my friend’s phone number? Could someone make a script to to lock phones at random times???

That would be infuriating.

You can pin buttons too. I have left/right cursor arrows and clipboard buttons pined. Super handy for me.

Speaking of tracking, any one have any good suggestions?

I use for another feature somehow missing “confirm call”

Gives you chance to double check the name.

One feature I miss from my Samsung was “flip to silence ringer”. Was great for letting spams/unknown ring all the way to voicemail without listening to the ring or making it obvious I declined the call.

My pixel puts the whole damn phone to silent mode.

Got my pixel direct, the unlock for me was greyed until I connected to WiFi. Other than that, I didn’t have to sign into anything and immediately put graphine on it.

I do enjoy his videos. Apparently he working on the audacity overhaul too. Haven’t heard (or looked) at it a few years. Last I head was the freakout when the dared to add some basic telemetry to figure how people actually used the software.

Survay is anonymous and takes 1-2 minutes.

Everyone fill it out, don’t care if your on iphone (its not like google cares about your privacy), just fill out the damn thing.

Don’t check everything, check a few random things to make it look legitimate.

Let’s all be honest and not fill the survay with bull-shit data that helps 3rd-prarty launchers, that would be imoral. Remember google’s old motto, don’t be evil.
