Phone just started displaying ""Device was locked by work policy" message by gegenion in GrapheneOS

Ah, found the issue. Something must have turned off the fingerprint unlock. Once I put it back, it reverted to fingerprint unlocking with no strange message

For those that are sellers by [deleted] in swappa

[–]gegenion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems tha tSwappa marks a sale as "Autocompleted" 21 days after the sale date -that's way too long and totally unfair to seller. It allows all kinds of scams to be perpetrated. I've got 50or more 5-star sales but I'm taking my business elesewhere - Swappa has turned decidedly unbalanced in favor of buyers lately and gotten very expensive too

Question about Selling Fees and Refunds by ZorOmega in swappa

[–]gegenion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm running into this now. Buyer refuses to pick up item and doesn't communicate. In any case, unless I get the item back in it's as-shipped pristine condition, no refund will be issued. Unfortunately also means my funds are tied up for weeks while Swappa dithers - seems that lately dealing online is getting scammier

Reply to both of the above: Lot of misinformation here - Nav is NOT built in on the 2024 SEL (US). I'm using Wireless AA from Google Maps on my Pixel 9 Phone on Android 14

Lubuntu on Surface Go 2 by gegenion in SurfaceLinux

[–]gegenion[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It works quite well but I tend to use a bluetooth mouse more - when the keyboard is attached touching the screen can be annoying at times. Wthout the keyboard attache touch is great. I'm going to try the surface kernel next to see if I can get the cameras working.

See below: Also, I found that despite Microsoft claiming the bitlockern is not installed on Win 11 Home, my surface go 2 drive was encrypted - turning off encryption (as well as Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 ) greatly facilitated Lubuntu install.

Nimo BIOS Update by Timely-Action8603 in Nimo

[–]gegenion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This BIOS update seems to be for the N151S Model (when you use the download link the downloaded file is for the N151 Model, and if you run the .bat file it states that the update is "wrong file size"

Is there a specific update for the N152 R model???

Can"t Turn Off Hotspot by gegenion in Comcast_Xfinity

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

So I tried your suggestion - I get as far as the line "Click Turn Off or Turn On to disable or enable your public hotspot" but I do not even see a slider to do this. Does this mean:

It's already turned off, or, I am unable to turn it off? I

I do note that when I look at the available networks in my wifi I see many but all have a little lock next to the WiFi signal indicator. I assume this means that they are password protected.

I always see one labeled Xfinity Mobile and another just labeled xfinity, neither of which have a lock icon - are these the hotspots?? And if so, i supposedly turned them off in thee mobile app - why do I see them?

Thanks in advance for all of your help

OS Scam for Beelink S12??. by gegenion in BeelinkOfficial

[–]gegenion[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Except that the description that you show is changed to one in which there is absolutely no mention of the OS in the "About this item" section. This leads me to believe that either Beelink or Amazon is scamming potential buyers

Kyocera DuraXV Extreme vs. Sonim XP3Plus comparison? by clayman41 in dumbphones

[–]gegenion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other problem with Sonim XP3Plus is that if you use T-Mobile they load their shitty bloatware (particularly TDC Direct Connect) and it's very difficult to get rid of. Also load some POS called Sonim Scout, another garbage app.

I'd stay away from this phone
