The #iPhone was okay until #iOS 10.3.0, and then immediately started having severe battery life issues.
Taking a little break and then comes the actual set up of the new phone and attempting to wipe the old one before shipping it back.
I realize that much of this is the agency's "enterprise" set up, but I've never heard of an #Android user going through so many steps and stages to get a phone working. -

Even before I contact the kids to ask one of them to join me as a guinea pig, I installed the Session software on on #iOS tablet and one #Android tablet. I launched the iOS app, created an ID, flipped over to the "link a device" QR code, clicked "Link to an existing account" on Android. Result: in 0 out of 4 attempts did the Android version perceive that authorization was granted on the iOS side, even after sitting for a few minutes. Nope. People are not going to fiddle with it to try to get one ID active on two devices. (Incidentally, two devices connected to the same ID is the maximum allowed. If you have two phones and two tablets, you won't be able to use the same ID on all of them.)In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink -

The only one I generally enjoy using is the Samsung S4 with a keyboard attachment and their Dex software. Basically, it turns #Android into a desktop OS, with applications running in their own windows. But of course, at that point, it isn't really a tablet. It's a mini-laptop.

Likewise for #iOS ... I tried DuoLingo, but the gamification and resulting frequent notifications felt like harassment (not to mention my not being interested in creating the membership that it often pushed for). I deleted it.In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink -

But only to the first page on that site.
Using i2P for #Android with the internal browser and default settings. I’m not really sure what it offers or why someone would use it, given the experience of it never working before (and not correctly now).In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink -

Everything works, just slowly. The #iOS tablet is on the supposedly faster #hotel_Wi-Fi (with VPN) and some things work intermittently, if at all. Before you ask, yes, I did try putting the iPad on the hotspot without the VPN. No improvement. In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink -
Blort (blort@social.tchncs.de)'s status on Friday, 04-Oct-2019 18:30:52 UTC Blort WTF?! My non-rooted phone had #Google Maps pre-installed, but I only use #OSMand for navigation etc.
Yesterday, I walked to a local restaurant, without using my phone, and had lunch there before walking back.
I never opened #GoogleMaps.
Today, I find a notification from Maps:
How was {restaurant name}?
Rate places to get smarter recommendations.So it tracked and calculated where I ate without even opening my phone or the app.
Definitely time for #Pinephone / #LibreM

I am aware of the public server ( sure.im and other names ), and I am aware of the Tigase client software for #Android. I am not unaware of your project.

Santa Claes 🇸🇪🇭🇰🎅 (clacke@libranet.de)'s status on Thursday, 07-Feb-2019 14:40:28 UTC Santa Claes 🇸🇪🇭🇰🎅 Super annoying in #android (Lineage) when both the app (WhatsApp, AndStatus ...) and the keyboard (AOSP) want to help you with spelling. Where do I tell the apps to stop? I assume they are using some system widget that might have a setting somewhere. In conversation from libranet.de permalink
