#linux-phone — Public Fediverse posts

#pine64 support seem to be trolling me. I reported that wifi chip stopped working within ~15 minutes, and their response so far has been:

1. Gaslight me and try to convince me there is no problem
2. Try to convince me my phone wasn't charged enough for wifi+bt chip to work.
3. Try to convince me that even though battery is charged, it doesn't have "enough voltage" just for this one chip while everything else works

It is almost as if they just want me to go away and stop complaining.

Is this a path for Signal on a Linux phone? 👀

I posted this on Lemmy, but think it's worth reposting here. With the news that Google is locking down Android more, and making it more difficult to install apps of ones own choosing, there is likely going to be more interest in alternatives to Google branded Android.

The best general resource for instructions on how to unlock your phone's bootloader and flash alternate AOSP ROM's or non-Android OS's is https://xdaforums.com/

Please note that not all carriers and oem's allow you to unlock the bootloader though, so choose your device carefully for this.

You will also most likely need a PC (desktop or laptop) with adb & fastboot on it. These are apps used in the terminal, but you only need to copy and paste a few commands into them to use it.

If you have a Google Pixel then best option is Graphene - https://grapheneos.org/

For other devices you can use a "degoogled" Android ROM and get apps from the open source F-Droid app store - https://f-droid.org/

Some choices for this are:

Lineage - https://lineageos.org/

crDroid - https://crdroid.net/

/e/os - https://e.foundation/e-os/

Iode - https://iode.tech/iodeos/

OR use a a true alternative mobile OS. Options for this are:

Ubuntu Touch - https://www.ubuntu-touch.io/

Sailfish OS - https://sailfishos.org/

Mobian - https://mobian-project.org/

Postmarket OS - https://postmarketos.org/

Plasma Mobile - https://plasma-mobile.org/

Droidian - https://droidian.org/

You can also purchase devices with alternative OS's already preinstalled from:

Volla - https://volla.online/en/devices/

Jolla - https://jolla.com/

Fairphone - https://fairphone.com/

Murena - https://murena.com/

Furilabs - https://furilabs.com/

Brax - https://www.braxtech.net/

@portaloffreedom @EUCommission @postmarketOS solded batteries could be the first issue to extend the life of the phone, but allowing system security update is certainly a must.
#linuxphone needs support, as well as alternative androids like @iode and similar.

My 2016 Samsung phone has finally got to the point where even I can't keep using it. The screen is dying and the battery doesn't seem to be able to get me through half a day. That's on top of it being slow as, with a potato for a camera.
Any thoughts on what the least annoying OEM flavour of Android is? By that I probably mean customiseable, least creepy, least AI-infested. Would love to go Linux, but I need to do $EMPLOYEE stuff like Teams on it, paywave, and $GOVMINT stuff like digital drivers licence etc., and I'm not sure if that's possible on a Linux phone.
Currently lookign at Nothing phones, probably a 4a or 3a. Would love to hear from Nothing Phone owners to see what you think.

Oh. my. god. For the first time in my life I now have access to a *wide angle camera* on my phone! 😱 🥳

Today I was brave enough to finally update my phone to the latest #SailfishOS 5 (I could absolutely not afford a bricked phone the last ~2 years), and it was the smoothest update ever, so my fears were unfounded. 🙃

However - in typical #LinuxPhone fashion - this¹ little hack for unlocking all the cameras makes the selfie camera unavailable, oh well... 🫠

The new Quintus de-googled phone from German company Volla is now available for advance order via Indiegogo.

Links depend on whether you are in EU or outside.

Acabo de volver a Ubuntu Touch y me encanta. Droidian fue excelente, pero su nueva actualización lo dejó inservible: incluso borró la app de configuración. Consejo: deberían integrar zram en el sistema para teléfonos con recursos muy limitados.
Hablando de Ubuntu Touch, al parecer ya arreglaron los errores que tenía —felicidades— aunque lo he probado muy poco.

Z cyklu nocnych rozkmin, być może pozbawionych większego sensu... Jest pewien powód, dla którego sądzę, że Fairphony to przyszłość telefonów, na który mało kto zwraca uwagę, bo jest to rzecz nieoczywista, a w szczególności dla osób, które nie siedzą w tym zakątku Internetu. Otwartość tych telefonów, łatwy dostęp bo ich "bebechów" przyczyniło się do tego, że najnowsze modele Fairphone 4, 5 oraz gen. 6 w zasadzie to jedne z najnowszych (jak nie najnowsze) telefony dostępne w bazie postmarketOS, które zarazem większość funkcjonalności mają na wiki odhaczoną jako zaimplementowaną.

W szczególności piorunująco szybki postęp zaliczył Fairphone gen. 6, który w ciągu niespełna roku od wypuszczenia na rynek prawie doskoczył poziomem wsparcia do swojego poprzednika. A wsparcie to jeszcze w tym roku ulegnie znaczącej poprawie, gdyż poczyniono gigantyczne postępy z obsługą audio na Fairphone 5, gdzie status "broken" już teraz zmienił się na "partial" i znaczacej edycji uległa dedykowana strona na wiki poświęcona problemom z audio na Fairphone 5. Poprawa audio na FP5 będzie miała również wpływ na FP6, gdyż jak czytamy na wiki: "Fairphone 6 shares the same sound amplifier as the previous version, therefore, development might be related to Fairphone 5".

Również warto odnotować to, że modele FP4 i FP5 są najlepiej wspieranymi urządzeniami na innym systemie na bazie Linuxa, Ubuntu Touch oraz jest szeroka dostępność różnych dystrybucji Androida dostępnych dla wszystkich modeli (pomijając FP6, dla którego np. nie ma jeszcze oficjalnego builda LineageOS, chociaż da się zainstalować nieoficjalny społecznościowy build). W związku z tym wszystkim, Fairphone może mieć najbardziej otwarte telefony na rynku nie tylko pod względem hardwaru, ale także i oprogramowania. Przy czym sam hardware jest świeży, bo telefonów starszych, już dawno nie wspieranych, z w miarę dobrym wsparciem mobilnych Linuxów jest trochę.

I can't make it work with with FLX1 (not FLX1s). And I believe the issue is @FuriLabs choosing HDMI (Proprietary) over DisplayPort (Open Source). HDMI is NOT backwards compatible. FuriLabs don't provide info on the version of the HDMI port (I think it is 2.1). My monitor has two 2.0 version ports, which make it incompatible. I've tried different cables. Make sure your monitor can support this hub before purchasing.

I started working on my small-net browser / client again — named: SpaceMonkey.

I got a Linux phone a while ago — the FLX1s.

So, I made it so SpaceMonkey would work on my FLX1s Linux phone by turning it (SpaceMonkey) into a GNOME Phosh + Linux app.

An update on the wallet app I am creating for GNOME Phosh on Linux.

I am continuing to add support for Taler.

Here is what it currently looks like to add a Taler exchange.

(A Taler exchange is where you would get Taler coins from.)

(Some of the stuff in the screen will change. Such as the buttons at the bottom.)

For the balances, the app groups the balances by currency (because I think it makes more sense to more people that way).

If you tap on the currency balance, then it shows the breakdown per Taler exchange.

I got a Linux phone a while ago — the FLX1s.

I started writing apps for it recently — which are just a GNOME + Linux apps.

So far I have written a (mobile optimized) file manager app.

And, written a finger painting app for kids ages 3 to 5. (I have young children.)

....

There are other apps I plan to write, too.

I got Linux phone a while ago — the FLX1s.

I started writing apps for it.

That was actually one of the things I liked about it. Making app for it is a lot easier than Android or iOS.

Native Apps on the FLX1s are just GNOME + Linux apps.

I could also use whatever programming-language I wanted — I chose the Go programming-language (golang).

#GNOME #FLX1 #FLX1s #FLX1Slim #FuriLabs #FuriPhone #LinuxPhone #Phosh

All this talk of a #LinuxPhone is wonderful. But it's going to be a long time before I can buy a phone from #TMobile or #BoostMobile that has #Phosh or #KDEMobile on it, and only takes a few steps to setup. So it would be nice to go to a phone store and get a #NothingPhone or a #JollaPhone like that. But it's not happening any time soon.

#Android sollte weiter offen bleiben, damit wir weiterhin frei entscheiden können welche #Apps wir installieren möchten. Oder sollten wir bald ein #Linuxphone verwenden?
