Btw, you can keep circle to search on and use GoodLock to remove the nav bar. You just press and hold in the middle where the nav bar would be to activate circle to search

I would generally agree with you, but in this case, Verizon has already been subject to such a rule for over a decade as a condition of the 700MHz spectrum. Verizon does offer subsidized/financed devices like the other carriers, it just doesn't SIM lock them beyond the initial period.

Given this data point, I think it's a good idea to expand to the other carriers.

I have a Galaxy S24 with the gesture bar hidden. It lets me do circle to search by holding down where the gesture bar would be.

I would love to put Linux on the computer side for daily use and then use the Android side for high resolution video streaming (Netflix, etc). Looks like a very unique device that will be great for those who can appreciate what it has to offer. Very cool!

Yup. It could also be hardware failure in the sense of a flakey power button. Either way, it's probably not people intentionally pushing the power button a lot

While not great as a general file manager, I use this app to launch into the hidden, built in file manager in Android. The major benefit is that it can access apps' data directories. Every other file manager is blocked from that (at least without root).

Hmmm, sounds like all extensions will need to adopt the module system. I guess I'll be careful about making sure my extensions are updated before updating to Gnome 45

 

I was wondering with all the talk of NACS, what would happen to J1772. I think I found the answer, unless folks here see it differently. Thanks!

I'll probably hang tight until Pixel 8 comes out.

I just had this issue yesterday with my Pixel 4a. I tired rebooting the car and phone without success. Luckily my wife plugged in her Pixel 5 and that worked.

Previous to yesterday, it's been solid.

Interesting, but I'm missing the GNOME connection I think?

Sorry to hear! I assume you're talking about the camera on the rear of the phone? That does have focus, not sure why it's not focusing for you. If shaking it a bit doesn't help or cleaning it off, not sure what else can be done.

As another poster said, the camera on the front of the phone doesn't focus, it's fixed.

Oh, I had missed that. That's great!

Previously I've lubricated plenty of door hinges by popping out the pin, putting a bit of petroleum jelly, and hammering out back in. This door goes to our garage, tho, and it seems to have different looking hinges.

I'm curious what's the best course of action. Is there a pin that can be easily removed like most interior doors, or do I need to do something different?

Thanks in advance to this new community!

 

Hey folks, my wife and I use Pixel phones, but we're starting to think about a phone for our kid, really just to be able to call 911, probably wouldn't even get data. We're looking for cheap and boring, the fewer features, the better. Also open to smart watches, tho we have no experience with them.

Are there any devices that fit the bill? I'm thinking something like an old Nokia brick from 20 years ago, but of course with VoLTE/VoNR.

Thanks for any help this community can provide!
