koinu, in What are your power user/advanced use cases for your phone?

This is pretty niche, but damn do I use my phone a lot to manage my Homelab server. In fact, I don’t actually currently have access to a computer, so I can ONLY manage my server via my phone.

I use JuiceSSH to SSH into my server.

I use OpenVPN Connect to connect to my server via VPN.

There’s also plenty of apps that I use to connect to the *arr suite of software that I have running for media.

squaresinger,

For SSH I usually just use pure OpenSSH over Terminal Emulator.

koinu,

Idk if I can do this. I really want/like the saved snippets so I don’t have to retype everything over and over again lol

squaresinger,

I have a physical keyboard attachment, so typing is much less painful.

Who pays this much for podcast player? I’m happy I’m grandfathered in since it’s launch. I love it, I paid for the full version, but recurring payments? No, thank you.

Mori, in What android client do you use?

wefwef until boost is released

batwingnz,

Check out Voyager - wefwef is retired I think

shashi154263,

It’s the same app. Both works.

Lifebandit666,

Wefwef (now Voyager) until Sync is released. Honestly Voyager is pretty damn good already.

aluminium, in Another Samsung Galaxy S23 FE leak details the phone's diverse chipsets in different markets

There are no bad products, just bad prices. If the exynos is 500€ or less I see no reason the be mad.

Unpopular4810,

If they are not bad enough, why do they not realease the exynos variants in the US?

@esty@lemmy.ca avatar

Because they would have to pay Qualcomm a royalty per phone sold, due to a lawsuit from the 90s

They shipped the galaxy S6 with exynos in the US in spite of the royalty, because the loss from the fees was outweighed by having a more reliable, efficient and cooler chip (oh how times have changed)

MeltedManufacturing, in What are your power user/advanced use cases for your phone?

I buy cocaine with my phone

Flax_vert, in What are your power user/advanced use cases for your phone?

I use Droidcam OBS to link my phone camera up to OBS to use as a webcam. Iriun does the same thing but without the OBS part.

speq, in What android client do you use?

Thunder is very smooth and easy to use.

Skynet42, in Leaked Galaxy Z Flip 5 image reveals a gapless foldable

Genuine question: Why do we want gapless folding phones? If something gets in between the screens (like sand or something) and then you put your phone in a pocket isn’t that going scratch a lot easier? I’m hoping to get a folding phone for my next device so I’m curious.

dub,

i think the idea is that when there is a gap, there is more likelihood for little things to get in there in your pocket and scratch things up. also, the gapless design doesnt mean it is usually screen directly on screen, but the outside border touch and close fully allowing no dirt to get in

I used my Pixel 5 as a mobile recording rig. Plugged in my audio interface via USB-C (which powered it as well), two wireless XLR receivers and used the app n-track to record an interview with an astronaut at an ESA event (lav mic on myself and the astronaut).

In that moment, I felt like a pro.

Unfortunately, the interview didn’t get a lot of views on my YouTube channel haha

Anarchie99,

You could post it here :)

giant_smeeg,

Drop a link then? Let’s have a view.

@Sanctus@lemmy.world avatar

My phone is setup to pretty much do my IT job from it if I have to. I can remote into my work computer/servers and accomplish pretty much any task I need to. Its extremely handy having a foldable for the extra screen space when I need it.

giant_smeeg,

Yeah I bet it is! I don’t like any extra fat on my phone but I have an S8 tablet that I load with shit so might look at setting up some workstuff on mine.

They are BYOD, so I have to install the MS management crap…

Sanctus,
@Sanctus@lemmy.world avatar

I’m the one who does the management shit at my work so guess who doesn’t abide by any of it themselves?

kratoz29,

What tools do you use to access it?

Sanctus,
@Sanctus@lemmy.world avatar

Android Studio. If you’re on windows you’ll want to navigate to the folder with abd.exe in it and run it using the command line. This guide explains it far better than I could. Here is a list of bloatware that is safe to remove. Look over those packages, I didn’t remove them all cause I wanted GPay and stuff still.

kratoz29,

Huh, I think you wrote the wrong response mate.

Sanctus,
@Sanctus@lemmy.world avatar

Wow two different android threads has done a number on me. I use strongSWAN VPN and RD Client to access it through our firewall. Apologies lol

ijeff, in What android client do you use?
@ijeff@lemdro.id avatar

Just a reminder to folks that there’s a list of app over here if you’re unfamiliar with any of the ones being mentioned: lemdro.id/post/4319

kionite231,

Link is taking me to a different post. Is the link correct?

ijeff,
@ijeff@lemdro.id avatar

Yep, it works for me! You can also find it pinned at !lemdroid

My phone is my sole PC and has been for about 7 months now. I use it for everything. I'm using nreal AR glasses for a massive virtual 80" screen via Dex. I use a Bluetooth mouse and mechanical keyboard. I use libre office for real work, I do development work right on the phone. I also use andronix on the phone for when I need a more full blown Linux desktop for gimp, IDEs, GIS, etc.

Blaze,
@Blaze@iusearchlinux.fyi avatar

Very interesting, which phone do you have?

tinwhiskers,
@tinwhiskers@kbin.social avatar

I'm just using a Samsung S20+. You need a Samsung if you want Dex.

mfat,

Or you can use Motorola’s Ready For with any Motorola Edge phones.

Looks to be on the way for Pixels, too.

androidcentral.com/…/with-pixel-8-google-may-fina…

warmaster,

If this is really coming to AOSP, it will be huge.

Welp_im_damned,

I mean android desktop has been in asop since android 10, google has just been slowly developing it.

I’ve set up my old phone to forward me 2fa sms messages from my burner sim cards to my actual phone. Allows me to keep my phone number private. Pretty easy to set up with something like macrodroid.

EarlTurlet, in Neat moto feature I wish to see in more phones
@EarlTurlet@lemmy.zip avatar

The Pixel series have this. It’s called Quick Tap.

Combined with Tasker, you can make it do anything – if the existing options aren’t enough.

FredericChopin_, in Neat moto feature I wish to see in more phones

You can do this in iPhones too. Under accessibility and Backtap.

mfat,

Wow! I bet most iPhone users don’t know this exists. This is more like a usability feature than an accessibility one. It even supports triple tap!

FredericChopin_,

They don’t. I used to work the Genius Bar and sadly the majority of users don’t know how to sign on to iCloud haha.

Apple has a habit of hiding away features. There are some outstanding accessibility features on iPhone.

I personally use the Backtap to run a shortcut that turns off WiFi, not greys it out but off off. I get irrationally mad when it always try’s to connnect to networks and kills my internet.
