As for step counters, i personally use a Garmin Instinct 2 Solar (watch). I'm able to use Garmin's software and that work as intented with my watch.
A watch is not for everyone, but it might be worth it to look into some sort of sport/smart watch.
As for a standalone app that counts, i really don't have any suggestions for you.
You might like something like Geo Tracker though. It doesn't count steps (i think), but you can record where you walked, how far you walked and how fast you walked, etc.
That must be Xiaomi's fault... Android does not do such thing. Check the running processes in Developer Settings to see what's running that could cause this. After located, disable/uninstall them, with ADB if needed.
Live wallpapers are often a form of ads. Like Motorola have Live Lockscreen, made and owned by Taboola...
This is why you should skip bloated Android devices, unless you use a custom rom or don't mind the extreme debloating.
Fairphone 3:
158 x 71.8 x 9.9 mm (6.22 x 2.83 x 0.39 in)
Fairphone 6:
156.5 x 73.3 x 9.6 mm (6.16 x 2.89 x 0.38 in)
They are actually a lot closer in size than i thought.
The case is not super thin so this will add quite some to the overall size..
I think the size difference is not going to be a big problem. Unless you're going to buy some back customizations from Fairphone, i would recommend getting another case once they are available. It works fine, but it just feel weird with the standard back....
You can turn off the fingerprint yes.There's also this setting:
This helps for accidental unlocks, but i also like to unlock everything at the same time.
As for the screenshot shortcut, i don't see a way to turn that off.
The closest thing you've got to a firewall is the Advanced Privacy. Tapping the "more permissions" setting just sends you to Android's standard permission manager.
Here's what it looks like:
Alright i checked those apps. Glovo's behaviour is a bit weird. I was not able to login using the Google button. However, i was able to create an account with my email. The only thing i have acces to after that is the map, which says that they don't deliver where i live. I can't go to anything other than that. Not even the app's settings or whatever... so no, this does not work properly.
As for Citymapper, it seems to work fine so far! It is able to find my location and i'm free to use the app however i like.
I just got both Fairphone's privacy screenprotector and case. Mostly because pretty much nothing else is available yet. So far, so good. The privacy screenprotector actually works pretty good, the case feels a bit strange tho. Probably because i don't have one of their back customization options.
Wish i could! But that one seems to be Google's version only. I just installed Blackmagic's camera and the default Open Camera to play with them a little, and i'm open to other suggestions!
For a good read, a link above about Fairphone's report of their way of doing things.
Fairytale or not, I'm just happy that there are companies that not only want to make a profit, but also try to do that as fair as possible. For me, that's worth mentioning.
I think it didn't work out well for Samsung... so i guess, not a big market?
Phones are already super thin... why not make a (slightly) thicker one and put a massive battery, better cooling system, headphone jack and whatnot in it?
I'm able to install and run Triodos. I don't have an account so i can't tell if everything works in the app, but since all apps that were able to install and run also actually worked, my guess is this won't be a problem. My banking app, Rabobank, works flawless.
Since i also use Digid, i can confirm this works without issues.
I installed NPO Start, this also works like a charm.
I don't have a Chromecast, so i'm not going to be able to tell you if this works, but my best guess would be that it should.
The only troubles you can experience would be if apps and services require things like Googles Billing API, which are not present. Doing some In App Purchases and some banking/financing apps use this API, so they might not work. So check the internet to see what other Triodos users are saying about this...
Maybe it's possible to spoof this, but personally i'm not willing to go to such lenghts (for my personal usage, at least).
I got the Murena version to deGoogle after all...
The phone itself has been an absolute pleasure to use. Snappy perfomance, the smaller 6,3inch screen looks and holds fantastic, battery life is awesome, e/os is simple but decently customizable and fast. Bugs are very minor so far.
Will talk all about this either today or tomorrow in the review i was planning to post here!
You're right. The point to go for Murena was to deGoogle, so i'm okay to take my losses somewhere. Thanks for this reply, it's going to help me explain to others in my review why it doesn't work.
This appears to be the first app i've encountered that is not willing to install, at all.
I'm able to find it in the App Lounge, but clicking 'install' sends me to the Google Play Store page, where i can't do anything other than reading its store page.
I'll look into this, hope i can add that to my review soon.
I'm able to continue to the point where i can choose 'from' and 'to', after doing the exact steps you've said. But after inserting 'Arboga Station' to 'Flen Station' (or any other stations), i get "oops, something went wrong. Please, try again!". Clicking on 'Retry' does not do anything.
So yeah, this does not work. But if it's a Murena only issue, i can't tell.
Glad you like it too!
