I still use my 3a XL without issue. This is very likely a usage issue, settings issue or even a hardware issue. It’s not a software issue.
Clear your application cache. If that still doesn’t work, try uninstalling Google Chat, then re-install it. If it’s built in, uninstall the updates, and then re-update. This resets all the notification settings.
So you don’t like Google. And you expect other’s not to like Google (I don’t, by the way) or you think they’re idiots. But when someone asks you why, you’re not willing to defend your position there and you just want to call people who don’t immediately side with your position on Google idiots…
Are you a real person, or just AI? You can’t honestly be a real person, can you?
No, it’s a nomenclature issue and continually proves that technologists are bad at naming things: https://xkcd.com/927/
You’re not being lied to, people just don’t know what 5G is.
Only mmW is 5G. When you see “5G” on your phone, it’s Gen5 network over 4G LTE, which is not 5G. It’s a nomenclature issue. No one is being lied to.
mmW is 5G. Everything else is 4G even though it’s advertised on your phone as 5G–because it’s a Gen5 network over 4G LTE. And if it sounds confusing, yeah. It is. Which is why they just call it 5G and 5G UWB (actual 5G). Because most people would be so fucking confused its not worth it.
And even with alternatives, corporations own all the infrastructure.
It depends on what you mean by infrastructure. If you mean ISPs, then the majority of their infrastructure was built with public funds. It’s public infrastructure… They use your infrastructure.
My data still has to pass through their pipes
For sure. Which is why encryption and anti-censorship tools were and are created.
But it’s not same serivce.
It’s the _exact same service, favors no specific phone over another, has a shared data pool so one user can use 100GB in a month if the other uses none, and the price is locked in by paying yearly.
It’s like you just googled a plan, screen shotted it, didn’t read anything else
I’m on this plan and I’ve professionally sold phones for over a decade. It’s almost like you just googled a plan, and started talking shit about it without even knowing what you’re talking about.
You continue to be hands down the dumbest person I’ve found on lemmy since coming here. You’re inventing shit up out of thin air to make it seem like a bad plan when it’s LITERALLY (again, literally, not figuratively) the same service you have right now. Both Spectrum and US Mobile are MVNO and RESELL Verizon’s service as a third party. It’s the same fucking service you have at this exact second for slightly cheaper, much more flexible, and completely fixes the issue that you made this thread about to begin with.
I really hope you find the time to fix yourself in the future because your personality is dog shit.
The stupidity continues, I see.
You specifically said nothing comes close to Spectrum, and I post something that’s $2 cheaper for the exact same service. Both plans are 2 lines, both plans have 100GB of full speed data between 2 lines, and both have unlimited QCI 8/7 data after your 50GB per line (which is the same as your current plan), with unlimited talk and text. It’s literally ATT, T-Mobile, or Verizon (you can literally choose which carrier you want, and can even switch them every day).
I posted to literally refute your first statement (which I did–completely) and every correspondence back and forth that we’ve had since then has been you misunderstanding something one way or another. You need to go back to school. This is honestly so embarrassing for you.
I pay $60 for two
And this is $58 for 2 lines… I literally sent you a picture man… Jesus.
You get reduced speeds at 50 GB, down to basically dial-up speeds. US Mobile’s data cap isn’t until 100GB, and you still get 1Mbps after the cap…
You get double the data for the same price, for the same 2 phones… I’m begging you to read man.
Are you insane? The same plan at Verizon is $65+/mo and it uses traffic shaping to limit your video quality to 480p. lol. It’s effectively half the price. Not even to mention that on Verizon you’re limited to 60GB/mo;
Unlimited data is restricted to on-device smartphone usage. After exceeding 60 GB/mo of 5G Ultra Wideband, 5G or 4G LTE mobile hotspot data, mobile hotspot data reduced to speeds up to 3 Mbps when on 5G Ultra Wideband and 600 Kbps when on 5G / 4G LTE for the rest of your monthly billing cycle.
Nothing comes close to spectrum here.
Spectrum is so bad bro. The line is $40/mo for a 50GB data cap.
US Mobile is $34/mo (when you pay for the year up front) and includes 100GB of QCI 8 data on Verizon and then truly unlimted data @ 1Mbps. They support AT&T (darkstar), T-Mobile (GSM), and Verizon (warp) and if you activate via eSIM, you can change them at any time. So if you’re going on a trip and you don’t get service with Darkstar, you can swap to Warp for the weekend if you want.
I’ve been using them for about a year now and they’re badass. I pay $96/yr (I pay up front) for service. Only includes 2GB of data, but I’m home or at work all the time, so it’s not been an issue. Everything else is unlimited.
Yes but, have you ever rooted a Xiaomi device. it’s VERY hard.
It takes a bit of working around, but it’s generally not that difficult to unlock your bootloader without following “official” methods: https://xdaforums.com/t/a-guide-to-unlocking-the-bootloader-of-the-xiaomi-redmi-9a-9at-without-mi-unlock.4687858/
So here’s the thing. The phone was made by a company in another country that has to follow that countries laws. But that only extends to the stock OS.
Just unlock the bootloader, root it, and install whatever on it. IIRC Xiaomi phones are pretty open platform wise, and are compatible with a wide array of ROMs. I’ve personally been using LibreMobileOS recently and I really like it–but unfortunately that seems to be one of the few Redmi models they don’t support yet. lol
Bunch of fucking losers. They’re so goddamn pissed that I’m still using my P3XL instead of buying their ever evolving lineup of phone.
