This is why we don't have such devices

It doesn't run anything from google. I run lineage os.

You could make the point that the service companies know where you ate all the time but that doesn't have anything to do with audio that I know of.

I run lineage os

Good for you, never mind then. However, most people run preinstalled OS, so I just assumed you also would.

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 year ago

Honestly if you are thinking about your phone listening to you then you probably should look into running something other than stock. (You are not most people)

Good point. How complicated is it to install lineage OS on a Fairphone while also keeping/transferring my contacts?

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 year ago

It depends. What I would do if you are interested is buy a cheap damaged phone that is still usable and then flash it with Lineage. From there you can break things without causing issues on your main device.

[-] Nacktmull@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Interesting, thank you!

[-] lseif@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

you should be able to import/export contacts to a file, on most systems i think. also check if theyre stored on the SIM card itself, or in your phone.

I thought lineage os still uses google for stuff like push notifications? It just doesn't use the "Google apps" by default

[-] cmgvd3lw@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 year ago

You can choose to install gapps or not.

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago

It does not. It is fairly close to AOSP with a few improvements to the stock system.

When I turn my phone's microphone off and say "hey Google" my phone doesn't respond in the slightest. Much more comforting.

[-] Nacktmull@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

If you really think your phone not responding means your phone is not listening ...

[-] zaph@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

I didn't say that, I said it's more comforting. Unfortunately I need my phone for work so I can't run a de-googled rom so it's good enough for me. And I never see ads referencing things I talk about.

[-] gears@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

I don't understand, how does running a degoogled rom stop you from using the phone for work?

I also use my phone for work (company profile, apps, 2fa etc) and it works fine on GrapheneOS.

[-] lseif@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

I LOVE GRAPHENEOS

[-] zaph@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

There are 2 apps I use that won't work on graphine. I've been trying on my second phone and I can't make it work.

[-] gears@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

What apps? Some require some compatibility options to be enabled, Waze for example.

I see! Whatever works for you :)
