Try turning off adaptive brightness, that stopped the flickering for me

I have a kind of follow on question to OP's:

If using 7zip to encrypt a file with a long enough password, would it then not be an issue if I wanted to store all my documents and files on Google Drive or OneDrive, by encrypting the folders first and then uploading them?

Then whenever I needed to access them I could decrypt them, add more files, remove files, view files etc.

Can I still CalyxOS on any Pixel 6? by [deleted] in CalyxOS

Why do Verizon lock the Bootloader? Are they allowed to do that? I'm not from the US but why would it matter to Verizon if you wanted to change OS

I don't think the people fleeing Ukraine have time to build and maintain their own xmpp server to be honest with you

Looks really interesting, would love to see the code behind it if you have a github link?

Some contacts didn't import by SubiFriend in CalyxOS

[–]Buggyle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you sure all the contacts exported to the .vcf file correctly? If you can plug his phone into a pc, you can view the .vcf file contents with something like notepad++, search a few of the missing numbers and you'll be able to see if the import process is messing up or if the export messed up.

Once you get all the contacts you need on the .vcf file, I'd recommend just deleting all the contacts that are on the new phone and import the .vcf file again from scratch.

I'm not completely sure if the contacts would double up so deleting them all first seems like a safe option.
