What is the difference between cellular data being used on my phone and cellular data being used on my notebook? Data is data.

Can confirm, switching to Graphene solved this problem for me a long while ago.

Doesn’t unlocking the bootloader break Google Pay?

[-] wesker 30 points 8 months ago

Don't know, wouldn't touch that with a 10 foot pole.

What's wrong with Google Pay?

[-] person@lemm.ee 22 points 8 months ago

the Google part

[-] silent_squirrel@feddit.de 11 points 8 months ago

You can lock the bootloader again after the flashing process is done(because it will add the signing key of the new OS), but unfortunately the NFC Payments in Google Pay still won't work because Google only allows it on 'certified' Android systems (aka only the preinstalled OS)

Isn't this dependent on the ROM, like lineage shouldn't be locked where as calyx is locked likewise for graphine os

[-] silent_squirrel@feddit.de 1 points 8 months ago

Yes, afaik LineageOS shouldn't be locked, but I was talking about GrapheneOS specifically because @wesker@lemmy.sdf.org was talking about that.

You can in theory still use Google Pay with a Magisk module called Play Integrity Fix and using a fingerprint from a different phone to pass Basic and Device integrity. I'm currently doing it on my Pixel 7 Pro.

But it has a steep learning curve and is a temporary solution that will disappear in roughly a year once Google sunsets legacy integrity methods and starts requiring Strong integrity, which can't be faked under known methods. Google is also actively disabling fingerprints that are being spoofed, making the whole thing frustrating and even more temporary even when it works.

Just let us use our devices, sheesh.

Ugh. I was dumb and got a Samsung that was offered to me for cheap on the spot. If I had done any research I would have learned that there's no alternative OS options. Now I'm stuck with it, because I'm poor, so I just try to avoid using it. I should keep an eye out for something used that's compatible.

[-] eco_game@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 8 months ago

While it's not at the same level as Graphene OS, Samsung is pretty well supported by Lineage OS. AFAIK at least in Europe Samsung phones have an unlockable bootloader, but YMMV.

Nah. Nobody's figured out how to access the ROM on my specific model, unfortunately, and I'm 900% sure Canadian telecom oligopolists will not be cool about unlocking like that.

In my defense, if it was a laptop it would have been much less foolhardy.
