Ive been using google's services since 2017-2018, now its time to finally depart from that. I just got it in the mail yesterday and I'm already in love with it. So much lighter and easier to carry than my samsung galaxy. Gonna transfer everything over in a sim card, switch to Tmobile and ill be good to go. ๐
Don't bother, there's still Unihertz's spyware in there. LineageOS and derivatives are buildable as generic images that use the OEM drivers, reported working on that specific device. It's a complete pain to build but some random people publish premade files, see here (get the first "Vanilla EXT4") and here. More options there.
There's a manual specifically for the Unihertz Jelly Star here. Although the download link there is outdated and the MicroG instructions are also outdated (follow the official ones instead).
If you don't want to use the phone, may as well give it to a comrade locally that wants it.
Sad. Although there should be modern bricks with 4G that aren't too expensive, usually marketed as "for grandparents".
There are other phone manufacturers than Nokia. Always have been. Shocking, I know.
EDIT: looked around and the ones with reasonable prices are usually the carrier contract ones from the carrier store and carrier prepaid ones from literal grocery stores :/
Never heard of it.
