Google's Android Earthquake Alert failed' to detect north India tremors today. Why?
  • I used to years ago, in the era of Galaxy S2 and such when battery life was a luxury.

    I can't think of a time in recent years where I've seen anyone doing that TBH. I know certain people who turn off the wifi router during bedtime.

  • It's interesting how the market has changed since the pandemic. When I got my Mi A1 in 2017, I was happy I had a stock Android device for about ₹15k. I had to retire it in 2020 because of a bent chassis. When I looked then, i could never find a decent phone around the same price range, especially with root/custom ROM support. The Poco X2 was just launching, and I missed out on getting it in the flash sale.

    Ended up visiting a Mi Store nearby, and found the Redmi Note 8 with a SD processor and an active developer community. Just ended up getting that. Had to retire that phone too, due to an accidental drop, and it took me over a year to find a decent replacement, with a budget increase to 35k.

    Ended up getting a Galaxy A53. Not the most ideal choice for me, but I'm tired of flashing ROMs and getting around Magisk and Magisk Cloak to get UPI apps to work.

    In that 10 to 22k range, literally most are either a Unisoc, Mediatek, or Exynos processor phones. And none of them have decent development support. Much of this is the after effect of the silicon shortage, Snapdragon messing up 5G, and OEMs reverting to Mediatek for a non-5G chipset.

    My recommendation is to check Amazon and Flipkart for any refurbished phones - either older mid range phones, or flagship phones.

  • DAWN - the BSS transition controller - and tips on making it work properly
  • Hey thanks so much for this guide!

    Fast Transition has been on my todos list for a while now, and I haven't had much time configuring openwrt after I got a second router.

    Would BSS also work for ethernet backed/ linked devices? Would love to know, since i only have a two band router on either side, and wouldn't want to sacrifice a band for band negotiation.

  • Today 10 years ago I got a Firefox OS phone
  • Jolla can also be purchased and used in very few countries. 4 according to their list. I don't mind paying for an OS and a phone, but their phone support is also only for very expensive Sony Xperia phones. So I can see why it is not feasible for a lot of people

  • Ha, I have like a fully busted Redmi Note 8 that fell from my hand a while ago. It was probably my second favourite Xiaomi phone.

    Before that, I had a Redmi Note 4, a Mi A1, and more recently, several Xiaomi routers to complement my home networking setup.
