I kinda got my eye on this #pixel8a case. That purple is pretty snazzy!
-
Every once in a while I'll take the case off my phone and use it naked. Feels so pleasurable, not sure why.

#iodeOS hat aktuell eine inoffizielle Version für das #Pixel8a. Habe ich gestern herausgefunden, da ich mich auch dafür interessiere.community.iode.tech/t/unoffici…
Allerdings kann der Bootloader nicht gesperrt werden
Note that with these unofficial builds the bootloader can not be re-locked. Maybe someday I will get the build process to support this. In the meantime, in my understanding, an unlocked bootloader is only a risk to an “evil maid attack”, your data is encrypted and safe unless your unlock code is compromised.

Weekend project: installing #GrapheneOS on a brand new refurbished 🤣 #Pixel8a
-
Since a few weeks I have an issue with getting a location on my #grapheneos #pixel8a. It takes up to 5 minutes to get a location where is no interruption to the sky. Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be? The only changes on my Phone where I think could effect this is the update to #android16 and I changed the mobile service provider.

#GrapheneOS stellt das dunkle Design nicht um. Ich habe die Zeiten manuell eingetragen, aber es passiert nichts. Weder von hell zu dunkel, noch von dunkel zu hell.

So it's phone migration day (pixel 6a -> 8a)
And once again I experience how bad the android phone migration process is.
Why can't it just copy everything over ? I really shouldn't have to reconfigure my various email accounts / banking / social media apps etc etc.

The new #Android battery health menu, locked to #Pixel8a and #Pixel9, could help extend phone lifespans but excludes older models and non-Pixel brands. #GooglePixel

I use CalyxOS on a Google #Pixel8a.
EOS is often very back when it comes to security updates.
I think there are problems with blocking the boot loader under EOS. -

Interesting twist: I just took a photo of my yellow blanket with my old Pixel 5 and my new Pixel 8a.
On my laptop screen the look pretty similiar. So I was wrong. It's not the Pixel 8a's camera fault, but its screen's.
So I guess the Pixel 8a's screen calibration is too cool.

I bought a Pixel 8a for my niece. And what I don't like about is its overly aggressive white balancing and the saturation is too low.
Colorwise my old Pixel 5 takes better photos!

@fdroidorg @murena @GrapheneOS
Falls sich jemand in der Welt für _mein_ Handy interessiert...Es ist ein #Pixel8a geworden.
#GrapheneOS per Webinstaller (die Inbetriebnahme meines Dienst-iPads war um ein Vielfaches schwerer und nerviger!).Privat- und Dienstapps sauber getrennt (abends und am Wochenende Ruhe!), Google-Sandbox fühlt sich ok an.
Eine Umzugsapp habe ich nicht gefunden, das war aber auch so ok.
Merci à /e/OS, vous êtes fab, ma decision est _pour_, il n'est pas _contre_ :D

It was foggy and chilly on our walk today. I really am pleased with the hedge and tree line pic.

Am I just missing the option to force a PIN unlock after a certain period of time instead of fingerprint biometrics on @GrapheneOS ? My understanding is randomly the PIN is required instead of biometrics for screen unlock. Would be nice to set a time period that is enforced?

As for YouTube video reviews, May saw me running more than 130km for charity, but also getting in my reviews along the way — like the rather nice (but priced too high in Australia, sigh) Google Pixel 8a:

Went to see the Pixel 8 and 9 today to see if they fit into my hand. They don't, they are both ridiculously large still, I hate phones I'm so sick of this.
I hope they make a mini version one day because I'd love to use Graphene OS
Very dissapointed :akko_sad:

It says something about the incremental nature of mobile operating-system updates these days that my immediate payoff for installing Apple’s iPadOS 18 on my iPad mini 6–a 37-minute process Saturday afternoon, during which I couldn’t use the tablet for five minutes–was the addition of a calculator app.
Yes, the basic math application that shipped with the original Mac as a “Desk Accessory” applet, and which has remained absent from Apple’s iPad software since I watched Steve Jobs introduce the first one in 2010. Fourteen years later, it’s nice to know that iPad buyers won’t have to make installing PCalc one of their first tablet-setup tasks.
There’s more to iPadOS 18 than that, even setting aside the not-yet-shipped AI features that lead off Apple’s pitch for this release: a new standalone Passwords app (not relevant to me because I use 1Password), a new Privacy & Security category in the Settings app, the ability to require Touch ID authentication to open an app (and then hide that app’s presence behind Touch ID). But none of this stuff struck me as a reason to reach for my tablet when Apple shipped this release a month ago so I could install it right then.
I’m not writing that to knock Apple, because I have about the same reaction to Google’s Android 15 after installing it on a Pixel 8a right after I put iPadOS 18 on the iPad.
The standout features in this update are privacy and security tools that you hope you won’t need–a set of Theft Protection defenses designed to make your phone useless to a thief even if you weren’t able to lock it in time (but which you need to enable from their default state of off), plus a Private Space feature to hide apps behind biometric security that resembles the one I mentioned in iOS 18.
There’s more there–see my PCMag writeup for a breakdown–but this, too, is not an OS update that I’d be able to recognize on your device if I glanced at it from across a table. Which is okay! Technology could stand to have a little less drama.
That said, there is one mobile OS update that I do want to see get fast and widespread uptake: Apple’s iOS 18, which finally brings support for RCS messaging to the iPhone. That feature has yielded an immediate upgrade to my text chats with friends on iPhones running iOS 18, in the obvious form of typing indicators and higher-resolution multimedia and in the less-obvious form of our conversations being encrypted in transit instead of being sent in the clear. Those friends seem to find their end of the banter improved as well.
So if you have an iPhone that can run iOS 18, please ignore everything I wrote before the previous paragraph and rush to install this update. Thank you.
10/20/2024: Updated with a reminder to activate the anti-theft features in Android 15.
