I already had the Fdroid store installed and made an account on the app. Unfortunately, it looks like it only works with other ppl who have an XMPP account. There’s no way I’ll be able to convince my friends to switch to a different messaging app so I’m stuck with regular RCS for now. Thanks for the info.


Interesting, if I switched to a program that uses XMPP, would it work with my friends who are using RCS and SMS? Or could I only use it with friends that use it as XMPP as well?

EDIT: XMPP is an internet based protocol right? And doesn’t use cell towers like regular calling or texting right?


I thought android was supposed to be more open and less restrictive…


issues with receiving links and group messages on third party messenger
I have an S23 thats on the latest update. I have been using a third party texting app called Textra, for years now with no issues. Just last week, some of my friends have been trying to send me links but they just don't go through anymore. It can be any link, Google maps, youtube, Amazon link etc. I also found out that my friends started a group chat with me, but I never received any of the messages. My friends are mostly iphone but some use android also. I found out that if I enable Google messages as my default, everything works fine. And after I enabled Google Messages as my default, the group chats came through in Textra, but the address was an email address d4vtcnzrhezdkmrrhe4dqh2gifbucqkcgjas2n2giq4s2nbtgmzc2obvizcc2rjqimzumqkggrcukmkf@rcs.google.com Is this an issue between RCS and SMS? Am I forced to use Google Messages now? I've uninstalled and reinstalled Textra and I installed a different third party messenger and no change.

Issues with android auto
Hi everyone, I recently purchased a new car (24 mazda cx5) that supports android auto. I've never had this feature before and so I'm new to it, but so far it's been working really well. I am having an issue with voice commands, specifically for calling and texting. Voice commands work for changing music or playing something else from my playlist, but when I say "call mom" for example, it pops up what I said on screen but then nothing happens. I have tried multiple times with different ppl and I have tried sending texts. It will register what I am saying but then it just goes back to Google maps. I know calling works through the car tho, because I have recieved calls and if I use the touch screen to access my contacts, I can make call that way. It will also notify me when I recieve a text message. And I know I have service when I have tried to make calls. I tried searching online but didn't have much luck. Thanks!

That rom only works for the exynos chipsets. Mine is snapdragon… 😭


Sorry for the late response. I went back to researching this after a break, and unfortunately, it looks like that rom only works for exynos chipsets and the US model uses a snap dragon… So I guess I’m stuck with the outdated OS…


Have they changed the game a lot since launch? When I was watching the reviews of it, everyone made it seem like you have to have a cohesive party all working together and using their skills properly and the game is impossible solo.


Elden ring night reign single player
I have been wanting to play this game since it was announced. However, I prefer single player games. I know this game is designed for 3 players, but I read that they were going to add 2 player and maybe single player support. have they made it any better for us loners? I don't really want to play with randoms either. EDIT: thanks the input everyone! Looks like I'll be picking up the game at some point since they are balancing the game for different players.

OK thanks for the help!


Would an unofficial build be maintained tho? I’d like something that stays up to date with security updates.


New OS for galaxy note 8
Hi everyone, I have an old galaxy note 8 that I would like to flash and get a Linux based OS on it. I recently put lineage OS on my galaxy tab s6 and it's working great, but it looks like lineage doesn't support the note 8. I heard about cyanogenMod but it seems like thats discontinued. I just have some games I want to play from the Google play store, so my needs are basic, so just having a simple OS for games that the devs are keeping up to date would be great. Thanks!

The story is much better told through Vaati’s words. And his voice is very soothing to listen to.


It’s really not that difficult to go through these games with minimal guide use. If you’re looking to 100% them, then yes, a guide is essential to use. And you always have summoning in boss battles, and ER added npc summons too. Once you just embrace the games with an open mind , they become more enjoyable.


I’ll give a recommendation for something that hasn’t been posted yet. Danganronpa: trigger happy havoc is a very emotional game and has a well written story that takes you on a journey.




You clearly haven’t played baldur’s gate and shouldn’t make comparisons based on your limited experience with it.



I got shadow of the colossus (ps2) from gamestop. I have the ps3 that can play ps2 and ps1 games so I bought it. I had never heard of the game before but was interested in the name. I ended up loving the game.


Damn. I played the demo and didn’t like it. But maybe I’ll have to give it another chance.



Oh really? Thanks for the heqds up!


I am actually a PC gamer. I have been wanting to get a ps5 controller for a while now but not willing to pay the price. I have looked at third party controllers like the gulikit King Kong 2 pro. But from what I’ve seen, most of the controllers are in the Xbox layout (the joysticks are off set) and I prefer the Playstation layout.


It does seem like these big companies know people will buy their stuff and so they set whatever price they want. Ya, I understand inflation is a big factor but I think complacency in the consumers is a bigger factor.


The US. To me its absurd because the last gen console accessories shouldn’t cost that much IMO. But I also don’t think the new controllers are worth $70 either.


I remember when the ps4 came out, the controllers were $60. Why are they more expensive now?

This is awesome, but makes me salty. When I first heard about them I was stoked and wanted one. But at the time they weren’t selling in the US. I needed a new phone so I caved and went with Samsung for the s23. And recently they announced they’d be selling to the US. This is great but hind sight is 20/20…
