But in some situation, you wouldn't want to stand out too much or else you are giving them too much attention.
You could have 2 devices-
1. A degoogled phone for general use
2. Standard android phone in case of emergency situation
Then at least, we may evade "some" tracking, not all as there are cameras everywhere and got cell carrier tracking us anywaay.

    The thing is you don't wanna draw too much attention from the authority of the country either.
    I'm using degoogled ROm tho it's not a complete bullet proof, it's just better somewhat.

      Anonymous, 22 Jan 2025correct, huawei has a lot of stuff running in background. ... moreYes! It's very simple:

      If you live in the USA it's better to be tracked by the CCP than the CIA.
      If you live in China it's better to be tracked by the CIA than by the CCP.

        My opinion is that this phone is way too expensive for what it offers. I mean even a Samsung s23 is much better and better optimized.

          Vin Aigre, 21 Jan 2025Or... Maybe a Huawei! LMFAO!correct, huawei has a lot of stuff running in background.
          a lot of people get fooled by saying yay there's no google, but hey there is Huawei inside.
          both google & huawei are just equally invasive, the difference is which one you prefer to be tracked by

              microg may not be "Secure" but google doesn't know you meanwhile (unless you sign in to google with it).
              It's almost same thing as having normal Android without G account after limiting some permission from playstore.
              Therefore, I don't see Graphene being better at all, in fact, microg has more straight approach to its goal (to be private).

Sandboxed Play Services are confined using the highly restrictive untrusted_app SELinux domain, and the user can revoke permissions from Play Services as they wish. On the other hand, CalyxOS runs MicroG as a privileged application within the system_app SELinux domain, which is generally more permissive. From a security point of view, GrapheneOS seems to have a much better approach."

                    For ex. think about Playstore sandboxing that G pitches about.
                    You get basically same thing with others if you put MicroG, in fact, MicroG is more private.
                    BL locking can also be done on Calyx.
                    I'm just saying, you can do almost same things with others, not to mention that most average people don't even need these features nor would they know how to use them.
                    So that's that.

                        G, 16 Dec 2024It support GrapheneOS that's it.👍That's the only brand you can support, unlike smarter ones like Lineage or some others similar, which supports various brands LOL

                          Coming from a Google pixel 6A to a Google pixel 9 Definitely a well needed upgrade

                                  And how about the issue of adaptive brightness. I always thought turning it off and manually adjusting it ti your likeness is much better and saves battery.

                                    I don't think so unless you lock / unlock your device too often.

                                      It is preferable not to touch the settings as you may later end up turning them back on due to something not working well.

                                        Here's another question. I heard that turning on the Adaptive brightness saves battery life? I thought it's the opposite.
                                        And I have read that if you are using face unlock more often accumulatively It will drain battery life too.
                                        Are these true?
