Not sure if it’s related but I frequently have applications that no longer connect to the network after a certain amount of time. I am on Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Lavender V0.23-R.
The only way to solve the problem is to uninstall and reinstall the application.
I have opened a ticket on Gitlab a few months ago:
I think Google Home should be removed from the list. I cannot login with my old Google Account through microg and Home only works when attached to one.
All I get is “Sorry, there was a problem communicating with the server”
after 1 day of using google now quickly back to /e/ i saw that my battery was draining very quickly. I thought yes, all the apps in the background that send my information are naturally guzzling power.
Installed /e/ yesterday and the battery is happy again and so am I.
Now I would like to properly set up my smartphone Fairphone 3+ and especially install the right apps now.
My question is therefore which apps can I use best for, among other things
Mail (now Outlook but I want to leave) I now also use Fairmail but it may have trouble with gmail but completely away from gmail .
Calendar, Phone, messages (sms) Internet browser, photos (now Google)
whatsapp apps
And for me, the official K-9 Mail from F-Droid works better than /e/'s built-in fork called Mail. It can be installed alongside the built-in app, and will always be ahead of the fork in terms of bug fixes and new features. But you won’t get /e/'s colour scheme
I don’t like K-9 and its clones much in general, so for me it doesn’t really matter. I use the preinstalled Mail App since the LineageOS Mail App I installed initially (with far superior mail syncing behaviour compared to K-9 and a UI I like much more) somewhen gave up working with /e/OS, but it was nice while it lasted.
Papara, Uphold, and Hepsiburada applications do not work with MicroG.
Papara: It is a financial application that provides prepaid payment card, making payments, sending money, paying bills.
Uphold: Cryptocurrency is an web site`s application that can be traded.
Hepsiburada: It is a shopping site similar to Ebay.
We can log in to our account through the websites of the above applications. However, it is not possible to log in to our account through the applications.
For ebay Kleinanzeigen there seems to be a workaround to a least use the program. If you double tab on a menu point after a while the program is working normally and can be used. if the program does not work again one has do do the same double tab on a menu point
I know this might not be the right topic to ask about this, but here it says that the Pro versions of Simple Mobile Tools would be paid for. Is there an exception made in F-Droid, or what is the reason for not having to pay anything there?
If I got the FairEmail developer right recently, for all he sees the number of F-Droid users is currently negligible in comparison to Play Store users, so I guess there’s no big loss currently and no incentive for developers to think about this more seriously. And there might be idealists among them, too.
Anyone who got a workaround for using PayPal? It’s a real dealbreaker since I need it almost daily. If it can’t be used on Murena I need to switch to another ROM… That would be such a pity. I got almost anything else up and running
Hi ManuelS! I was able to download that specific version, and I directly added it to my UpdateLocker (LSPosed Module) to prevent it from being updated. Unfortunately it has the same behaviour as the later version:
I can install it, start it, enter my email and password. Then I get the Catcha (or how that is called to make sure I’m not a robot). Finally I need to receive a SMS or a phonecall from PayPal to verify me. The phone has no(t yet a) simcard, but normally that SMS is just being sent to my registered simcard @PayPal. At that time I request the SMS the app crashes. Although it’s not sending out any SMS - it should just be received.
I will try on Monday the other option (I left the phone at work): they can call me to verify. See if that works. Thank you for the explanation so far and I will keep you posted!
