I assume everyone on Lemmy uses GrapheneOS on a Pixel 7 or LineageOS flashed onto a LG Tribute with zero Google apps, and everything backed up via nextcloud running on a headless Debian Raspberry Pie?

I’m just a scrub using stock Android. Am I the only one?

    Well I already fight with my computer constantly having switched to Linux lmao so it’s nothing new. But RCS is the one thing I’m worried about since my phone SIM is fucked up and SMS doesn’t work at all so I have to resort to Google Messages to text at all. I wonder if it’s to do with it being a virtual SIM? Or my phone being unlocked and not from the carrier? idk

      It could be that your phone just doesn’t use the frequency bands supported by your carrier. For example, I recently bought a moto g84 5G and had to switch from a Verizon MVNO to a T-Mobile MVNO.

        Ooh okay… well that’s annoying lol, especially since I’m not the one in charge of the carrier plan (we switched carriers shortly after I switched phones). Thanks for the example and article link :)
