Google Pay & Lineage?
Anyone got a *modern* guide to getting NFC payments working with the latest version of Lineage? I've got a OnePlus 5T (dumpling) running LOS 20. Got some of my banking apps working - but Google Wallet just won't work.

Jerboa app and “subscribing” to new instances and communities
Hi everyone, I'm new to lemmy and its app and I'm having a hard time "subscribing" to another instance or community. I'm registered on the sh.itjust.works instance and can see the main lemmy.ml in the all section but I'd like to begin curating my own list of communities. Am I doing something wrong or misunderstanding something? Any help or clarification is appreciated.

Google Assistant randomly activating
For a while now I have had this problem that everytime I used a voice command for Google Assistant that a few minutes after the command got executed I get the sound of Google Assistant activating and waiting for input for like 2 seconds or so (also with the green microphone activated icon in the corner). Does anyone else experience the same problem or has an idea how I can get rid of this?

Are you excited about Nothing's new phone? I am cosidering to buy one but there are couple red flags.

> We can take a few guesses as to why things are so big. First, Samsung is notorious for having a shoddy software division that pumps out low-quality code. The company tends to change everything in Android just for change's sake, and it's hard to imagine those changes are very good. > > ... > > Unlike the clean OSes you'd get from Google or Apple, Samsung sells space in its devices to the highest bidder via pre-installed crapware. A company like Facebook will buy a spot on Samsung's system partition, where it can get more intrusive system permissions that aren't granted to app store apps, letting it more effectively spy on users. Urgh, it's so frustrating that Samsung is the leading Android manufacturer, the market is rewarding greed and incompetence

Anyone preordered the Chipolo Card Point or One Point?
I am looking for an alternative to Airtags and really want to invest into the Android ecosystem. I am not really fond on the pre-ordering thing of it until I get some real reviews. Any thoughts on the subject? It would be really useful to put one on my bike. TIA 😊

What are some more “privacy focused” Android phones you all recommend?

Trying to decide between refurbished S21+ and A54
Hi all! I'm taking a look at some phones for ~400€, and these are the two that I like the most, based on availability. I need dual sim that can work at the same time, which is why I'm upgrading from my Huawei Mate 10. But I'm having a hard time trying to decide between a brand new A54 256GB (410€) or a refurbished S21+ (400€ in "excellent state"). I care about software updates/quality, which is why I've discarded Xiaomi and lesser known brands, and why the 2 additional years of updates from the A54 are appealing. I don't care much about the camera, but the S21+ seems to have a similar battery (which is also very important to me), with a slightly better CPU. Any tips? Thanks! (also, first post on Lemmy, whoo!)

Custom ROM communities
Hi there, do you know about any Custom ROM communities here apart from LineageOS? I do really miss iodé OS for example. I am also curious: Would you like to have a general Custom ROM community or special custom ROM communities?

Chipolo was mentioned in the Find My Device presentation during IO 23. Looking into them I found that they're based in Slovenia. That puts them firmly under EU privacy and general regulation. If you're in the market for such a device, this might not be a bad option. I'm currently using Tile but I pre-ordered Chipolo to try.
