  • Phone acting as tablet. Settings “smallest width” to 600dp or more triggers tablet mode on Android, which changes certain UI elements to, in my opinion, make more sense on average near 7" smartphones. At least for me as I am a landscape-first user.

    So, since I already screwed up my homescreen layout by toggling this now, I’ll give you screenshots to compare between 423 (smallest in regular settings) and 705dp (what I use). 423 on left, 705 on right.

    Took me longer than I anticipated, but anyway:

    Sorry for the JPEG, original was 18MB.

    Notice the difference in keyboard layout, and 3 button navigation with app icons and app drawer.

    You should be able to click the image to open it, at least on LemmyUI.


  • Release doesn’t even have tab bar yet.

    Beta does, but only has the new menu and homepage doesn’t count as tab like on desktop and doesn’t support DoH, like on desktop.

    Nightly is most feature-complete.

    But I’ll have to figure out how to check existing and report new bugs. Search may not work when I hit enter, opening links with Firefox just opens the homepage, only when I click back does it actually open the link, screenshots sometimes don’t work, but only after I go to tab menu and then back, and the bottom-most thing in homepage is cut-off, so I use the stories as padding (might be related to custom high system-wide DPI).





  • I think the eID should be unique and gets transmitted.

    That’s probably the ID that forbids me from installing (another) speedtest eSIM, though “ID” could also refer to IMEI perhaps. I’d have to try another phone.

    Error code: ES10B_ERROR_REASON_UNDEFINED
    
    Last HTTP response (from server):

    	"header": {

    				"subjectCode": "8.2.6",
    				"reasonCode": "3.8",

    			}
    		}
    	},
    	"transactionId": "[You don't need this]"
    }
    
    Last APDU response (from SIM) is successful
    

    Based on this, it is a part of the transmitted information, if I understand it right: https://www.sharetechnote.com/html/Handbook_LTE_eSIM.html















  • Advanced versions can even instruct your phone to change important settings under the hood and expose you to significant vulnerabilities.

    The scariest thing for me.

    At one point I got something along the lines of “Your carrier has changed some settings, tap to review.”, once again showing me that my phone isn’t mine.
    In this case it was emergency alerts, but I don’t know what all they can change. It wasn’t a carrier phone, by the way.
    I also found apps related to (I think) multiple carriers, just disabled by default on Moto G52 5G. Orange was definitely one of them.
