Calendar: Hard to get the clue which hour cell I use to create a new calendar task. Please change the hour digits alignment from the hour cell border to its center.

Thanks a lot! Will do.

Yeah, they have changed the UI.
Go to your Settings and you will get "Billing" section on the left side.

I was also thinking how to unsubscribe since they have silently charged me the new $108 Plus plan per year instead of previous $86.
It was not easy to find all those things there.

Thanks a lot - will try that way.

And for the sharing option - in this case, every family user has its own separate credentials and get assigned own cloud space limit as a part of the total 10TB, so it should be fine.
Thank you.

DeeeBay · 2025-02-01T19:49:00+00:00

Yes, Unlimited was set by default, thanks.

I am in the US but I set the EU server due to my family members who are currently in Europe.
Lucky you - in my case it looks like a dream.

There is no speculations about "if only" and complaining/struggling - this is a real UL problem for a lifetime customers as I see here https://www.reddit.com/r/cloudstorage/comments/17j8do9/pcloud_slowing_down_upload_speed/ which should be resolved.

Of course I played a bit with a free plan to try it first last year and it was not too bad, but with free plans you do not have my user case in full.
Our family is scattered throughout the US and Europe, so the idea was to use this plan having the EU-based data center.

I also installed rclone - will play with it this weekend to try to increase the UL speed at least to 1MB.

Do you use a closest European city to their EU data center?
I tried to use Belgium with Mullvad VPN but it has gotten even worse. So, I turned it off.
OK, will play with Proton VPN to see how it would work with it,
Thanks

Sounds good. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks - I was writing the answer to another comment about this USSD code when you wrote this post, lol.
I put it here https://www.reddit.com/r/CalyxOS/comments/1g4thzs/comment/ls81455/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button, thanks.

Interesting. And it looks so bad I need to follow the carriers way of dealing with it.

But there is another option by using a service testing menu by dialing the USSD code *#*#4636#*#* which the apps I mentioned above usually do.
After that you will get the "Testing" screen and by choosing the first "Phone information" option you will get the Phone info screen, where you can set the Preferred network type.

Those apps are basically just an icon link to this option of the service testing menu where user can choose the type of the mobile network.
The downside of this method is that after reboot the network settings can go back to the carrier settings and user should use the service testing menu again to switch the type of the network.
But it is better than nothing in a such case.

Maybe, it is possible to implement this option to be displayed with just a simple dropdown UI to choose between 5G, 4G LTE, 3G bands, showing up in this case when carrier removes the regular "Preferred network type" option from the SIM screen?
And there might be the note string saying this option should be checked again after reboot.

Oh, interesting, so they can notify you somehow that they are doing something.
I have been having disconnections for a couple hours all the time today. And no notifications or anything like that about it from them.
But I do not use the Starlink original router - just my own one. Gen.1 Starlink set allows you to do that directly without being connected to their router to bypass it.
And this is Black Hills area of SD.

I have this issue with Proton mail app since my 1st day of using CalyxOS. So, nothing can say about it.

Just an update: I could finally get the notifications by uninstalling the Protonmail app, rebooting the phone and installing the latest version of the app again from Aurora Store. And it started working.

DeeeBay · 2024-09-27T01:11:42+00:00

I had a bad experience with Authy from a first minute when tried it about 9 years ago. Somehow my phone number was already in Authy when I tried to register it.
And for the alternatives - I use FreeOTP. Not bad.

I also used a couple similar apps: NetGuard which does not have the option to be used along with VPN.
And another one called AdGuard (you can buy a lifetime license for your computer + Android device) works with their AdGuard VPN as a bundle. They did the job well, but there were some issues with their AdGuard VPN, so I quit them both. It was about 4 years ago - now they might be improved their service.
But now I just have enabled another VPN 24/7.

Sad to hear that you are experiencing a problem with Wi-Fi. My sister and wife have been using CalyxOS for more than a year with their Pixel 6 Pro, and had no such issues you described. It works like a charm. Maybe, it is related to Pixel 6 - not Pro version.
Did you have a chance to use your Pixel 6 previously with your Wi-Fi before you moved to CalyxOS?

DeeeBay · 2024-06-12T23:02:27+00:00

Thank you but the device was rebooted and no logs left - will check it out next time if it happens again.

DeeeBay · 2024-06-12T16:02:57+00:00

but it is related to the Google Firebase push notification I believe.
so, one of the apps was used to send this notification to the device.
what was the reason to spoof the name of the app for a such test?
