        Which is why I’m monitoring !linuxphones@lemmy.ca for updates and good targets to daily drive for work purposes. We can’t trust Google anymore.

        Well the next gen graphene os release will be on their own devices. They’re working with an OEM now.

          Allegedly. But they are also looking at a Qualcomm chipset too, allegedly. Qualcomm is a US military contractor.

      It’s a quite ironic it’s only available for Google’s phones.

      e/os is fine too.

      GrapheneOS is a nice reprieve from the sea of endless enshittification news flowing forth from Big Tech these days.

        Yeah. The biggest issues I’ve had with it are:

        Google Wallet does not load (I use Passes or Catima to download tickets) and tap to pay does not work - Google Pay still works, just not through the app.

        Some financial apps don’t work. CapitalOne doesn’t open, but I only need to login once a month to pay my credit card so I just do it on my computer.

        My company’s Microsoft Intune setup didn’t work, but they recently restricted it to iPhone only so that’s not relevant anymore.

          Weird. Capital one works fine for me… Did you try exploit protection compatibility mode? I have it enabled for all banking apps.

              I missed your reply, thanks I’ll give that a shot. I think I’m going to completely wipe this phone and start over for unrelated reasons.
