  • but that might have as much to do with my US carrier not playing well with a European phone.

    Yeah, different countries use different frequency bands and they get renegotiated now and then by the carriers. They can be roughly summed up per continent and there’s some overlap but a phone made for southern asia will not have good connection in europe or america. If you haven’t bought it yet, look it up on gsmarena’s phone picker and your country/carrier.

    And it has no LineageOS either?

    I’m currently stuck with stock too, but at least with uad-ng, you can remove/freeze the offenders (or root it and also get a firewall).
    Careful: Play Store itself can not be removed, only frozen; you’ll get a boot loop otherwise.
    And in case of the Xperia 10, i’ve had to replace the stock dialer (phone app) with the fossify one, since it and a few useless sony apps got crazy about missing Play Services.




  • I too disable notifications on all my news sources. They are reserved for personal connections only.

    My dad on the other hand, often doesn’t see my messages, because he has always the notification stack full and doesn’t notice the new ones. Same in E-Mail inbox.

    And can we please outlaw pre-selected newsletters? They are annoying anyway, if you don’t actively choose them.
