pinephone: Smartphone focused on security and easy modification. The Pine64 device runs Linux and has kill switches for the cameras, Bluetooth etc.

It’s probably just so much easier for phone makers to use Android SDK instead of writing their very own.
There’s fewer options now since T-Mobile/Metro PCS has absorbed Sprint.
Probably, very few reading this remember the times when it was actually illegal to plug a non-ATT labeled phone into the network.
That ended with an antitrust lawsuit went against ATT.
I remember looking at aftermarket OS’s that allowed you to build up from the minimalist install base.

  • Samba server from any Windows workstations to gain access to shared files and printers.
  • I don’t have my pinephone yet, but everyone I’ve heard about currently recommends Mobian.
  • the local government.
  • is comparable to that of a Linux laptop with Secure Boot disabled.
  • HTC Sense is really a software suite developed by HTC, used primarily on the company’s Android-based devices.

What’s even better is that I didn’t notice the slightest slowdown in network traffic.
So, if you’re concerned the cost of this level of privacy is speed, fret not.
And because Kodachi leaves zero trace, you can be certain nothing will have the ability to track you (even on a command-line level).

User Reports

And then that they had to make an EU store because the EU regulators weren’t pleased at what shit anti-user non-warranties Pine64 had, and that has been an excuse for the “$149” phone to are more expensive there magically.
“The back cover fits very tightly and I see how others have broken it.
You should get it to unclick on the corner with the minimum force necessary, and then run your fingernail around it gently.” It seems to me a large number of folks have had back covers break quickly.
DHL is more costly, but you generally obtain it in less than weekly.

I think I remember seeing somewhere in FreeBSD enabling you to make an effort to change your stack fingerprint, but I never tried it and may be misremembering where I saw it.
I really believe it’s only in real shithole countries just like the USA where carriers are permitted to block tethering.
It is needless to say your fucking data that you fucking covered.
I chronically feel a sense of unreality that we used to have the dream of computer security, and, if nothing else, we genuinely had a time of checksums and GPG signatures, and today here we have been.
“Pine Store Ltd may be the liable party when handling sales and shipping, however the actual people handling those tasks are Syabas employees.
And they introduced a $200 (“$199”) version, and later stopped offering the $150 (“149”) phone.

  • Oh, plus some nerd system settings will be nice, too.
  • The packages are packaged very similarly, therefore i was able to complete the blanks with a number of the info from the Gentoo package.
  • Apps are not containerized or isolated by default, but normal Linux security mechanisms apply.
  • It’s nice, and for several of $80 I got a Samsung ‘smart phone’ device.
  • Still it might be a perfect target for a Chinese buyout at the moment and just what a company like Huawei could do with it in one year would be interesting.

I’d prefer to think there’s a way to tell NetworkManager/ModemManager to try harder without having to work around them yourself continuously.
I attempted mmcli and AT commands, not that they would necessary be considered a permanent solution, but I had no luck at all.
It does not look like a very raised percentage, however.
I’m sure Pine64 chose whatever components were available and cheap and appeared as if they would continue being available and cheap.
So it appears like Pine64 by itself is hollowed-out so there’s no liability, attempting to have basically nothing there for just about any possible creditor or customer lawsuit.
Saying that Pine64 makes some things at cost seems decidedly misleading, then, when costs include whatever you choose to charge yourself while wearing your Syabas hat.
I’ve seen fanboys who want to think that Pine64’s just selling everything at cost.

Wifi

You can’t give it to your tech illiterate family and friends, as it’s not created for consumption and doesn’t have a warranty.
One of the items that I thought would be a lot more accessible was running Android apps on a Linux phone.
It seems like it should be relatively easy to accomplish since both are Linux-based but I haven’t been able to find the compatibility layer focusing on the PinePhone at all.
Fdroid with that compatibility layer finished up would be a total game-changer.

The 3rd PinePhone Community Edition, available for preorder since September, features Manjaro with Phosh and is particularly available in both regular and Convergence Package versions.
Shipping already started, but it’s still possible to order it.

– Well, we all do know the method that you work at phone security and anonymity.
This post and comment thread isn’t your first rodeo on this issue.
Don’t go on it home for first bring up, as you need to show off things like geolocate first.
Do alk config changes before activating with prepay card.

I have not succeeded keeping in mind up on reports of phones breaking, etc., but I needed to make this aspect in case you’re imagining that the insides are more robust.

It’s like watching the fandom eagerly anticipating “the year of the Linux desktop”, but with phones.
I’ve been using Sailfish OS for several years now on different devices – starting from the initial Jolla phone, then a Jolla C and nowadays a Sony Xperia
