I have a OnePlus 8. I've had it for what feels like a while now... 3 years if I had to guess? Can't remember honestly. But the battery life kicks ass, and it charges really quickly with the "warp" charger.

I only do a little bit of customization.... I switched from Nova Prime to Kvaesitso recently and am liking it.. but have never rooted or changed OS. The camera leaves a little to be desired, but that's ok, I have a real camera for when I need to do that.

I probably won't look for another phone until this one gets bogged down or otherwise broken, and when I do, I usually just see what my carrier has that isn't super expensive. I generally avoid iPhones, and I prefer to stay away from Google as much as reasonably possible (I know I just installed their phone app, I know, I know) so I haven't really considered a Pixel. But my arm could be twisted.. I dunno.

I haven't heard of Nothing!

nice, thanks. I have a OnePlus phone so the Google Phone app wasn't installed on it by default. But I just installed it..... hopefully fewer robocalls from now on.

Yeah I remember that one too! All kinds of stuff like standing up, twirling around three times and shouting.. Most of the class was racing through it as fast as they could. 5th grade I believe...

noise canceling bluetooth headphones (Sony XM3s, in my case). They are always near me. Thousands of hours and I haven't even changed the earpads yet. I don't know how I lived without them.

better fire up the VPN too. You don't want your ISP to know that you're gay-boxer-curious!

Battery use on OLED when screen black but not "off"? (lemmy.world)
 

Hey, what's up. I've been trying to get my phone (oneplus 8) all perfect again, after I recently decided not to use fingerprint security anymore. I now use a password, which feels right, but when I'm just sitting at my desk it feels like overkill to have to retype it so many times when I'm just checking little things. So.. I'm trying one of those pretend-screen-off apps (Blackr) with which I can "turn off" the screen with a quick press, for the times when I want my screen off, but don't need full security (like, I'm not leaving my desk, cops aren't breaking down my door, etc.). Then I just double-tap the screen to turn the screen back on. If I want security, I use the actual power button to turn the screen off, and then when I open it back up it asks for my password as usual.

Anyway! I've been trying this for a day or so, and.. it just seems like my battery is draining faster. I think. Is it? I can't be sure, and I know the answer is to do some rigorous scientific testing, but I ain't got time... I knew someone(s) out here has been through the same thing and has the answer, so... anybody know? :)

Thank you!!

What non-SMS non-Apple app can I use to "text" my younger kid on their iPad (lemmy.world)
 

Hi! My less-than-10-year-old has their own iPad (registered under my apple id) and wants to be able to "text" with the rest of the family. Most of us are not Apple people though: Android phones, using some combo of SMS, Discord, and Signal. The little one doesn't have a phone, so I think that prevents us from signing them up for Signal. I could probably install Discord on the iPad, though it doesn't feel ideal. They use iMessage (or whatever it's called) to text a couple other friends/grandma/etc who also have Apple stuff, but what should we use for our mostly-non-Apple family that wouldn't require a phone number?

An internet search pointed me to WhatsApp, Telegram, Viber.... stuff I've never used but it seems popular. Facebook Messenger also, but screw that. Google Chat/Hangouts (or whatever it's called now) is another option, which would require creating a google account.

If nothing else appeals to me we'll probably go the Discord route, and I'll just have to be clear, don't join random servers :) But, anybody out there use WhatsApp with your kid, and does it not require a phone number? I'm open to other ideas! Thank you...
