Without reading it I’m betting the list doesn’t include

  • SD card
  • Headphone jack
  • Unlocked bootloader
  • Replaceable battery
  • Reduced stock bloat
  • A charger

Some pro-bundling arguments look nice but break down under critical examination.

Oh how interesting, I’m sure this will be followed up by a well thought out argument against it.

In reality, manufacturers shouldn’t provide free chargers with new phones. Consumer outcry won’t change the reality or manufacturers’ minds. Four years of hearing these faulty arguments proves it.

Fuckin nope, sure didn’t!

This guy is a moron.



I’ll stick with the GrapheneOS PDF viewer.



They’ve been eliminating sdcard and headphone so you’re asking a lot now. It’s why I’m using a near 5 year old phone with no plans to “upgrade”.

Galaxy A71 5G if you’re interested. It’s not a small phone but it’s not Galaxy Note big, and it’s got android 13. The only downside is it’s lacking a few newer 5G channels in the radio.



Also the silicon expands as it’s charged considerably more because it can hold a lot more. Many people don’t realize charging isn’t just holding electricity in a bucket, it’s a physical change to the battery.


Maybe battery cell count is a factor.


What kind of photos would cause such a panic reaction?

… actually never mind, I don’t think I want to know.


I wonder if there’s any market for an inline breaker to add protection to badly designed computers.


Most devices don’t run the latest Android version so both of those things won’t even matter to most people.



Don’t care. I used Chrome for a long time, moving away from it now because of the poor design decisions lately. At this point even if Google reverted the changes and put out a press release that said “we fucked up and won’t ever do it again” I wouldn’t believe it or trust them. The headline may as well be “Baby eating monster now eats 3% fewer babies”.


What’s the model number?

e: if this is your model then you’re in luck, if yours is not then don’t use those files, close enough isn’t a thing with this.

Page scrolling works fine and dark mode doesn’t make sense…



Have you considered Google Assistant or Bixby so she can do things like that by voice command?


Does your mom have both hands and if so do they reasonably function?



I don’t have that phone, but the clips are supposed to be universal. In theory any would work.


That works but only so far. Better optics will always yield a better image.


Probably, but what’s the option again? 1, crap pictures; 2, carry lenses; 3, buy a dedicated digital camera and carry that around


Someone who wants good pictures from a crappy cell phone camera.


If you want better pictures get an aftermarket lens, the reasonably priced ones just clip on to the phone. You’d use the lens to zoom in, not the app.


Can it be turned off? This isn’t something I need, fast message transmission is.


It doesn’t help with xposed but shizuku will accomplish a lot.






I took it further and installed Shizuku and Hail, most of my apps don’t get to be active at all unless I want to use them. It’s been great for battery life and privacy. Can’t go without so it’s the next best thing.



I switched from gboard yesterday, added the swipe lib… I wish there were a standard keyboard layout but other than that it’s 🔥. It needs emoji search though.


I think they just did tho… sorry


I think it might just be time to move on.


I get random freezes and have to clear data eventually to get it working right again. But it mostly works.


Blokada 5 here. It works well enough even with the glitching.
