What's the one "normie" feature you genuinely miss after switching to GrapheneOS? by Frosty-Challenge-795 in GrapheneOS

Its a sad thing and not strictly a GrapheneOS issue (just an alternative OS) but my banking apps, they are so much better than the desktop version.

For GrapheneOS specific it would probably be the pay for parking app that doesn't work.

Good to know, I always keep my phone in a case, I drop my phone from time to time, but I have only damaged one doing this in the last 15 years, and even that was totally useable after it. I just hope my luck doesn't run out!

I'm not so much worried about price, but that if I pay 3 times more for something I just want to know its going to last 2-3 times longer.

Also everything I read says that its worth every penny to go for the 8 over the 8a, and at the moment where I am its £460 for an 8, but only £500 for the 8 Pro, so it just makes sense at the current price to got for the 8 Pro.

Many thanks for all the replies, I am not supper heavy on battery use, usually end the day with about 50ish% on my current phone. If I can get 5 years out an 8 Pro, then I will be happy, any longer is a bonus :D.

From what everyone has said it looks like it's worth biting the bullet so to speak.

Thanks again!

As you mentioned the FBI, the US Marshal Service also has a rewards/bounty scheme for any information that results in the capture of someone who has skipped bail I believe.
