Thanks for sharing! I'm glad it's fixed. It annoyed me more and more the last couple days.

That phone sounds like it's going to be expensive.

Doesn't that blue tick mean that IS official news?

In the future. Not now. Or at launch. Wait to buy.

That would be so sick if that's the fix!

Because I do the same thing, I back my phone up to a flash drive every night and have experienced this several times, so I'm glad my experience could help someone else out

oh, that's plausible... I have backups enabled when charging. I've excluded VPN apps, hopefully it works. Thank you!

Couldn't replicate on ipvn or mullvad

The only time this happens to me is if I run a backup (settings > system > backup) and choose to back up the VPN app, which usually "reports no data to be backed up", so I exclude the VPN app from being included in my backup. Are you running a backup nightly when you charge?

Just a boring charger. I noticed it happens (nearly?) every time I leave it charging for a while, not every time I plug it in.

I just tested with self-hosted Netbird (jetbird 1.18.10 client) and it stayed connected. Are you plugging into a charger or a PC that's trying to communicate with the phone?

That's what I'm waiting for, too!

I don't think so. There is still an open issue for RCS support and the changelog for this release doesn't mention RCS at all.

The big thing it was missing was a text search index, and I don't see it in the feature list.

I really do want to give it another shot though.

Is this the update that includes RCS compatibility?

There's technically a Steam config for Obtainium listed on Obtainium Apps.

However, didn't work for me when I tried it just now. So I am still stuck with the one I installed on my profile which has play services enabled.

Presumably, this will mean those who want graphene os as their main reason to purchase a pixel will instead choose a moto. Its good that there is.now.amoyher option, but it just highlights how important it is to support morenthan one option.

Until they figure out how to make tap-to-pay work with a recognized wallet in the US, it's GrapheneOS is going to remain fringe here. Though I do like it and really want to see it work.

Yeah.. won't Work. I guess I just gonna live without it. More secure anyways.

Did you enable the screen protector mode under Display settings?

That reads like it was a change that broke the app on a number of platforms. It doesn't seem limited to GrapheneOS.

Its definitely an interesting experience trying to deGoogle, but I do like the fact that if I end up needing something from the Play Store I could just install it...but again, it's an option as well as other alt stores

Right now I only have the GrapheneOS app store, Accrescent, and Obtanium. I have heard of F-Droid's signing issue so I'd prefer to stay away from that for now and Aurora I don't like the idea of relying on it in case that method gets taken down or banned(though it is a funny option). I'll have to look into Native Alpha, hadn't seen that one yet, I've just been using the PWA shortcuts for websites from Iron Fox.

I think worst worst case scenario if I really needed Google Play Store then I'd probably wipe my phone and set up the "Owner" profile to install all my apps from wherever, and then setup a second profile to filter all the apps I want to actually use.

Again, great OS and I love the different "workflows" or ways to set things up.

Thanks for the in-depth review of GOS. It is definitely an adjustment in many ways, but I do think my phone usage has become more “disciplined” because things are not so accessible.

A few suggestions you might find useful:

• Native Alpha can create web apps (eg, in place of using bank apps, etc)
• Droid-ify app store has the option to back up or share your installed apps. F-droid does not, the last I checked.
• HeliBoard is definitely the best keyboard; customizable, smooth
• Joplin: great notes app

If all else fails, there is the Aurora app store for apps that you absolutely cannot replace and need from the Play Store. I had to do this for Outlook and a 2FA app for work, but just made a separate “Work” profile on the phone to separate everything.

Oh yes, me too. Quite excited to try it. Hopefully, a variant with microSD card as that's the only reason I've not gone with a Pixel.
