I’m still wired headphones. I use FiiO JadeAudio KA3 DAC and Letshuoer S12 wired earbuds. Not as impressive as I hoped for the price. Mostly wish it went a touch louder.

Could be the battery. My 5a5g died after 3 years and it was the battery. I couldn’t get it to boot that I could tell even while charging. Didn’t try calling it though to see if it rings.

Sounds odd, but have had similar issues with a Nest cam. Main powered doorbell camera resets when someone rings it until I replaced the battery.

Can’t remember if the 5a5g had a headphone jack (using 7 pro now), but you can kiss that goodbye. Fingerprint reader is in the screen now instead of the rear, but otherwise its been functionally similar.

The 8 line has extended support. If you care about security updates I’d check https://endoflife.date/pixel and pick what’s affordable. (a) models are at the lowest end, followed by the regular 8/9, then pro models for the best hardware.

Graphene also recently added some options like:

• Cap charging to 80% to extend battery life.
• Fingerprint reader + 4-6 digit pin. My normal pin is long so I’m happy with this change as forcing my biometrics won’t unlock it alone. Capped at 5 attempts.
• Kill switch pin. If forced to give up a pin it will factory wipe the phone.

Fuck me. Fixed.

I’ve been using Olauncher which is on F-Droid / Play Store.

It is truly minimal AF. Up to 8 apps on the home screen. Assign a swipe left/right app (calendar and weather for me). Swipe up opens a search for the rest of the apps. A clock if you want it that can be configured to open another app.

No icons. No widgets (other than a built-in clock). Reminds me more of a terminal than a traditional launcher. Really happy with it after all the time configuring Nova. Been using it for 3 years now.

It’s a font, there is no risk of data collection…

TeamViewer checks for a font their app installs when visiting their website to fingerprint you.

diep.io and only domination. Stopped going when they put that game mode on some stupid rotation.

Yah I loved my 3 coming from a stock nexus 6. Upgraded to 6t and it was meh. In screen fingerprint was cool I guess.

Now I’m on Graphene which only supports pixel and love it. Did away with all the easy unlock methods as I upped my security game.

I do miss the V to toggle the flashlight though.

It respects quotes. I literally got like 6 results total with your example.

Same. No better alternative with a balance of features and privacy/security. So pretty much locked into Pixels. Progression for me was nexus (stock) to 1+ (close to stock) to pixel (graphene).

I use pretty much the same stack except I use Standard Notes over Obsidian. Obsidian I will agree has more polish, but Standard Notes is open source and undergoes 3rd party security audits every couple years. I’m okay with things being rough around the edges if a project aligns with my own principals.
