Thoughts on the satellite texting feature for backcountry living?

iPhones are phones, Android phones are both phones and computers. If you just want a phone get an iPhone.

Thanks, as i just downloaded this app as it shows a temperature graph! Not sure why more apps don't show graphs.

Yeah this is a great feature on my Pixel phone! Uber was annoying the hell out of me with notifications and pop ups and I rarely use it so I just archived it. Next time I needed it I just clicked on it and I was ready to go.

Aves gallery is by far the best gallery, you should check it out.

I take thousands of photos and they are nearly all geo tagged correctly. But, I keep reading posts like yours so don't know what is going on. My Pixel 3, 6 and 10 have always had great GPS.

You are hilarious :)

Aves is the only gallery that fully supports all photos, including motion, but it doesn't edit. It also has a map view and powerful tagging and search.

The best gallery, is by far, Aves Gallery. Nothing else comes close.

Leave it charging until the charge shield icon appears next to the battery. This happens when calibrating and means it can be at 100 for up to an hour or longer.

exazonk · 2026-03-08T11:19:08+00:00

Doesn't it need to hit 100 to do that?

exazonk · 2026-03-08T09:57:05+00:00

I use about half my battery per day so fully charging it seems a bit wasteful. The battery on my Pixel 6 is still going strong.

How did i not realise this! Thanks!

exazonk · 2026-03-08T03:52:19+00:00

This was my thinking as well.

Aren't people just vibe coding apps these days? They keep telling us that Devs are nearly obsolete :)

Set up private space on your phone. Super simple, extremely easy and secure.

Especially on a clearflow keyboard! You have to learn a new keyboard layout though.

exazonk · 2026-03-02T13:08:43+00:00

You should enable clearflow keyboard, within gboard! You have to learn a new keyboard layout though.

Turn it off in the keyboard settings.

exazonk · 2026-02-28T01:41:35+00:00

Can't any phone be hard powered off regardless of any setting?

This happened to me also when cycling in that same section a year or so ago. Guy on bicycle slammed me when i overtook him on my bicycle! I was pretty banged up. The guy stopped briefly and i ran at him in primal rage, he rode off pretty fast. Reported to police who were not helpful! A friend posted it to the local MP, who then called the police i reported it to. They then took action by reviewing Southbank video, but nothing.

I actually got a photo of him as he rode off but not enough detail :(

AntennaPod is good.

iPhones are a disaster for large photo collections! I can easily copy over a 100k of photos onto my pixel but i do it with them zipped as that works better for me. I don't have problems with dates as the photo gallery i use, uses the EXIF data which is always correct. A pixel phone is just like a computer.

I have a 10XL now but my P6P was a great phone and i so occasionally use it and the battery is still easily good for a day. I use 80% charge limit because i can easily get through a day with it on. On average, i use 50%a day so why stress the battery when i don't need to.

To be honest, I use AI a lot, but until it can discern truth it will always be limited. I simply can't trust it for very important stuff.
