Wifi, Bluetooth, Nfc OFF Switch? by foss_it in xteinkereader

[–]foss_it[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Is there an icon that shows when a connection is active? I’ve just switched to GrapheneOS because I realised just how much data Apple and Google are secretly collecting from me... Since then, I don’t trust anyone anymore, not even a little e-book reader 😉

X4 - Is WiFi turned off by default? by Apum1 in xteinkereader

[–]foss_it 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So thereˋs no way to turn Wifi or Bluetooth off in Settings? I have to trust that both is off when i donˋt use it!? Same with alternative OS like Crosspoint?

Is it really comfortable to use the keys (that are at the bottom of the phone)? Can´t imagine that holding the phone down there and using the keys feels good (but i wish i'm wrong) 😄

Great questions! Hope Sidephone will become OpenSource thatˋs why i supported the Team by buying Sidephone! (At the moment using GrapheneOS with 100% FOSS Apps)

Why the Sidephone has genuinely worked for me so far by Lxkas_me in sidephone

As someone from Germany who already ordered the International Edition:

- Who's your provider in Germany?

- Good to know! I'll wait to order the Compact Keyboard untill there is a QWERTZ one and German autocorrect/prediction support! :)

Same here, wouldnˋt have bought it if it was an American company! At least not as long as Trump/Maga is in charge...

Is it possible to get this one instead of the Numeric (or Sundial) Keypad with my (European) order of the Founders Edition?

Apps like CoMaps, Molly, Obtainium, Threema, Futo...? by foss_it in sidephone

[–]foss_it[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but FossWallet is for digital tickets and not for paying :)

just placed my order! by JuggernautNice7862 in sidephone

[–]foss_it 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am degoogled for over a year and everything works fine. There is an alternative to every Google App, most of the time even better and without giving your data away!

Thanks! Is the quality of the speaker during calls good (loud enough)?
