    Gross.

    I’m currently in the process of moving everything over to a pixel running GrapheneOS and am glad to be doing so because of shit exactly like this.

    I just want technology that does what I want it to and doesn’t spy on me. Shouldn’t be this hard especially if I pay for the product.

      Did the same thing last September, my S21 Ultra’s battery was getting tired and I was tired of the Samsung bullshit. So far it’s been great and so has battery life, plus it’s a breath of fresh air to only have apps I want installed without needing ADB to remove them after Google/Samsung decides they want them reinstalled every few weeks.

      Only downfalls have been my broken banking app (which might be the actual app being broken based on Google Play reviews) and the amount of tweaking I needed to do to get OSM as my default map for Android Auto.

      I finally have a phone that actually feels like mine, not just a leased device from the manufacturer.

        What did you do to get OSM working properly? I’ve not used it enough to get to know it because it’s not been reliable enough for me. But a couple of times it’s taken me as far as a road, but didn’t know where on the road my destination was.
