Kinoite is looking really nice since my Linux is bugged (again).

They are. All carriers use the same tower infrastructure, but I can’t use 5G from the tower operator carrier.

I am trying to use SaskTel, which is the opposite: all carriers (except Rogers?) have an agreement to use SaskTel towers, and SaskTel uses other carriers’ towers in different provinces. I know that Bell and Telus work, but not SaskTel? They both use the same tower, so I don’t know why there is still no 5G for SaskTel on my Pixel.

The provider that I use has 5G antennas/towers all over roads, and the capital also has some 5G+ locations. It also annoys me that I seem to need the 5G option to show up or else LTE+ does not work at all.

eSIM works, but 5G doesn’t work.

This has saved so many files from my mistakes before.

I can’t really disable Gmail though, because I have two accounts that currently rely on it.

It doesn’t have an email app option for me, though.

I’ll be checking out Samsung phones in the future then.

I live in Canada and screen recording a phone call with audio doesn’t work, and the option that seems to be in the phone app for India isn’t on my phone, even though Canada is a one-person call recording policy country.

Apple seems to be losing my respect for their software each year…

Try using Button Mapper to remap the button if you want to, worth a try!

Motorola seems good, I’ll check it out.

Motorola seems to be a good choice for me, then.

I live in Canada, and the Pixel non-pro phones seem to sell at a normal price for me (I still don’t want to overspend on a pro model) I’m also really in the Google ecosystem right now, so I can’t leave and install custom systems and disable Play Services. I’ve also never heard of the Pixel’s being out of stock here.

Are they good without LineageOS? I have already said that I don’t want to deal with custom bootloaders/systems.

Can’t you remove Netflix on CCwGTv? The Play Store let me, and it doesn’t seem to reinstall.

I might consider the Fairphone much more highly when the software is more polished and Qi is added. (I use a Framework laptop, so the Fairphone is really fitting for me)

The Zenfone looks really nice. I’m going to have to skip it though, because it’s just too small. (Hopefully they make a 6" screen version)

I have a friend that uses a Redmi phone, and the ad situation is horrible. You have to manually go into the settings for each app and disable ads, and some apps only disable them for 30 days.
