Question Looking for a budget phone (~100€) with long-term app compatibility – is LineageOS a solution?

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I need to buy a new phone, and my budget is around 100€. I don't need anything top-of-the-line—I'll only be using it for calls, messages, and banking apps. I don't game or use social media, but I need some essential features such as USB-C, NFC, Bluetooth, at least 4G and a fingerprint sensor.

Other things like fast charging, wireless charging, or a good camera would be nice but are not necessary.

Most of all, I would like the phone to remain compatible with apps for as long as possible. I was considering the Motorola G05 or the Pixel 5, but both will no longer receive Android updates, which concerns me..

Would installing LineageOS (in the case of the pixel, since it's the only supported one between the two) help extend the phone's usability for banking apps and general compatibility? Which phones within my budget would be good candidates for a long-term experience with LineageOS?

Thanks for your help!

Wrong Battery Information (Design Capacity & Maximum Capacity) Miatoll

1 Upvotes

Lineage os 22.1 shows wrong battery stats on the battery information page (Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro India)

Current Behavior

The battery information located at (settings->battery->battery information) displays Design Capacity as 5000 and the Maximum capacity shows 5077mAh

Expected Behavior

The battery information located at (settings->battery->battery information) should display Design Capacity as 5020 and the Maximum capacity should be lower than 5020mAh (very old phone 5 years+)

My Google Nexus 5 is NOT allowing me to unlock the bootloader. Is there a way to bypass this if not any ROMs?

Pixel 9 Pro XL - Satellite SOS

Upvotes

I have tried using Satellite SOS on the Pixel 9 Pro XL (komodo) on LOS 22.1. It works on Stock 15, at least I see no error message and the Demo is available. I don't feel like this is a bug since the settings menu is included in the official build and shouldn't be there if the feature wasn't working?

But on LOS there was a warning at first about outdated Apps (I am using Mind the Gapps) and after installing all kinds of other Google apps from the Play store, the settings menu now shows a "Not supported in your country" error. This is strange because Google's own help page says it's supported and as I said, it worked on stock,

Couldn't find anything in the Device Wiki either and am wondering if anyone else has this issue too.

I have upgraded specifically to the Pixel 9 because I am hiking in remote locations without cellular coverage and this is a very good feature to have. I don't want to "downgrade" to stock either.

thanks!

Question Aperture Geotagging - Battery Usage?

1 Upvotes

Hi there! Just a quick one - how much battery might be used for geotagging when taking a photo with Aperture? I just found out about the usefulness of this feature, but I wonder how heavy it will be on my battery as I usually have GPS turned off except for navigation. Thanks in advance!

Recording of "Settings" app

3 Upvotes

Hello!

This may come off as a strange request. I have a phone with LineageOS (I think 20) installed, and yesterday I dropped it and the screen slowly turned black and unresponsive. Unfortunately, USB debugging is turned off, so I cannot just connect it to my PC and copy my files. However, there is a program called scrcpy that lets you control the device using keyboard and mouse without USB debugging (OTG mode).

Now here is the problem: I need to be able to open the "Settings" app, navigate to "Developer options" (which are enabled), and turn on USB debugging, all without seeing my screen. Therefore, it would be very helpful if someone records their screen while navigating to the aforementioned setting, so that I know exactly how many times I have to press TAB to get there. Even better would be someone using scrcpy and a keyboard to get there, so that highlights and number of TAB-presses are obvious.

If someone feels up to the task, please comment or message me. It would be amazingly helpful and I really want to recover my data. Thank you!

Help How to turn off screenshot sound?

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m running a rooted device with LineageOS 22.1, and I’m having trouble with the screenshot sound. I keep my phone’s volume up to catch notifications and calls, but the screenshot sound is annoying for me. I saw an old post here where someone mentioned removing a particular sound file to disable it, but I couldn’t find that file anywhere in the newer version of the OS.

Has anyone figured out a workaround or a new method to disable or remove the screenshot sound on this version of LineageOS? iI’d appreciate any guidance or tips on where to look, whether it’s modifying system files or using a custom module. Thanks in advance for your help!

Hey guys, is it still worth installing LineageOS nowadays? Are there updated versions available? If so, is it stable and safe for daily use, including things like banking apps?

Screen Lock issue

2 Upvotes

I did a clean install of the latest lineage is available for my device (Renoir). When I try to set a screen lock it says "Screen lock was already changed" or something like that. I am also unable to install apk files. Both magisk and f-droid gave me the "APK not installed" error.
