I have termux installed and running a  nslookup  command I could see it uses Google's 8.8.8.8 DNS server, which my DHCP is not sending.

By default Termux uses DNS form resolv.conf, not the DNS that android system uses.

Try to disable IPv6 on your router settings, and then try connecting to 5GHz band wifi from your Oneplus smartphone. Xiaomi HyperOS also has a similar issue.

As far as I can tell, yes, only on the phone. Also, the phone is configured (by default) to randomize de MAC address, so I don't think I can replicate it. I'll try to check on the router if it connects with different MACs every time.

Is the issue only present on the phone? If you were to clone the phones Mac address on a laptop or desktop and connect it do you get the same results?

Oh not at all. I am saying so that work is probably lost.

sorry for keeping you wait for so long. please try downloading this boot.img file and booting it. i've modified the original boot.img's default.prop to enable ADB.

boot that using fastboot boot tecno-ki7_boot_adb.img, and right after that run sudo dmesg -w to see any new USB device appearing. Also open another terminal and try adb devices, adb shell etc and see if you can communicate with the device while it's in the boot animation stage.

if the new boot.img i provided doesn't work please let me know, we might need to nullify vbmeta

So another win for graphene compared to other custom roms.

WhatsApp notifications work without gplay on graphene.

Hmm recently my device was experiencing a massive battery drain for a few days there but I haven't noticed it so much lately...is this related? I'm running accubattery now to see if my battery suddenly got worse or something compared to when it was a new device

wait you WANT llm trash in Nura?

sure, you can, as long as your bank has an NFC payments app. You don't get Google wallet with any custom ROM.

It might work for Whatsapp without Google services, but how do you get notifications?

Blink Home is Amazon Blink cameras app.

I'd recently been trying a new browser and stopped using it as I thought it was related to the app.
I didn't realise how bad the performance had gotten until I updated. Feels like a new phone.

On grapheneOS you can both use NFC and WhatsApp without google services. Never heard about blink home, but it probably works too.

Technically yes,but they don't have the Titan chip and it's technically a bootloader lockable Aosp. You have iodé or or /e/os for that also.

Unfortunately, giving up Google services brings other issues - depending on your use cases (i.e. no NFC payments, not all apps are compatible like Blink Home or Whatsapp).

Having Linux on the phone is a far better option IMO as you'd have a lot more freedom to "fix" things.

Graphene is great for the security and privacy innovations they offer, including the sandboxed Google services and Play store.

Sadly not yet, only bootable but most things are still not functional. A Lemmy user is vibe coding a PMOS (nura) fork, but that will probably be quite buggy and so far, not merged back to mainline Nura.

I think it might get to functional in a year or two though!

CalysOS on the fairphone 6! Typing on it right now.

It is the best compromise. Relockable bootloader, faster updates than /e/, less problematic.

Then you don't have to sacrifice the tiny storage and lack of expandable memory of pixels.

Neat! Waiting is fine on these kinds of things :D

if you can unlock it, you can get it running.

similar specs mean you can take the existing port as reference, but it probably won't work as-is.

if you can't get a device specific port, you can always run a treble gsi rom

Given how lineage os works (was a maintainer in the past), no.

A new device even if 95% similar will not work with older lineage builds for other devices.

You need the other device build.to explicitly add support for the newer model or wait for a maintainer to create a specific build for the new phone.

Of course, non official builds will exist long time before they become official (if ever) so I would still buy the new one and wait.

not as a daily driver, unfortunately. At least for now

Thank goodness! This is getting silly!

Alternatively, I could get the Xperia 1 V (used) for a similar price, but apparently battery life on that model wasn't great because of the 4K display (and used means battery could be degraded), and it's a larger phone too (though with the slimmer aspect ratio)

The 1 V would be more powerful though with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, and the cameras are certainly better (+ a telephoto!)

Or maybe the 1 VI, which has the more standard fat ratio (so the larger display is a bigger problem) but battery life could be better??

What do you all think?

Fairphone 6 can run postmarketOS (now Nura), so you made the right choice.

No that's a separate enhancement

I can't handle this shit for another month I'm going to throw my phone in mount doom
