And so, it’s Saturday night. Again. Sometimes, it feels like, after turning 40, the weeks fly by as quickly as days did when I was 20.

Time flows, and we pass along with it.

That’s why I love living each day with enthusiasm, positivity, and an open heart. And even though it’s still Saturday night here, this image from just a few hours ago is perfect to wish everyone a wonderful #SilentSunday

(look at the alt text for a deeper idea I had when taking this photo)

Thanks to those who recommended Gadgetbridge to me! After some research, I got an Amazfit Active on a great deal. Set up with its app, it showed ridiculously low battery consumption, but the phone, on in c/[email protected]

Thanks to those who recommended Gadgetbridge to me! After some research, I got an Amazfit Active on a great deal. Set up with its app, it showed ridiculously low battery consumption, but the phone, on the other hand, started being drained by the app's consumption. I installed Gadgetbridge - night and day. Now the phone's battery consumption is ridiculous, and it seems to work even better. And it outperforms my previous Galaxy Watch in many of the activities I need. For example, if I sleep, it doesn’t vibrate – unlike the Galaxy, which, even on Samsung devices, needed to be manually set to Do Not Disturb.

Far More Blue

Even after the darkest night, the sun will shine. The sea will entertain you with its relaxing noise, and the sand will reflect the light in a warm, ancient colour palette.

@[email protected] I'm testing both the GrapheneOS camera and the official Pixel Camera. I'm still performing some tests to see how different they are.

I solved the Android Auto issues so...I did it!

I've just ordered a Pixel 9 Pro XL. I won't even try the stock Android, I'll immediately install #GrapheneOS on it since day 1 (that will be tomorrow).

With the Android 15 Private Space feature (and the GrapheneOS team made it possible to install Google Services inside it, disabling them when the space is locked), I can enable and disable that space (and Google Services) when needed and without having to change profile. This is impressive and, for me, a game changer.

I'll try everything for some time. The battery life of my Pixel 7 without the Google services has been impressive. Today, I had a great experience with it as a main phone.

While I used it all the day, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra was idle (5 minutes of screen time). The Pixel consumes 22% of battery, the Samsung 20% - just being idle. No calls, no videos, just a bunch of notifications.

If the Pixel will have a comparable battery life to the Samsung, I'll keep it and eventually sell the Samsung.

A huge thank you to all the people the helped me to debug all the issues (I'm not tagging them as I'm sure I'll forget some) and to the GrapheneOS team for the great, impressive work they're doing.

"You notice how much longer (multiple days) your phone can be on a single charge when Google Play Services isn't running in the background. This tells a lot about the background activities and indicates that using Google Play shouldn't be the norm."

Exactly my impression. Thank you, @[email protected] for this article!

For a long time, I have had GrapheneOS on my Google Pixel 7 - which I don't use anymore as my main phone, but it's almost always on. It has some apps, but mainly, a constant connection to my email. No in c/[email protected]

@[email protected] Unfortunately, I don't have time to port an entire OS to my Pixel 🙂
I'd love to use another OS on it, but I can't find anything (only very old Pixels are supported)

@[email protected] I'm more worried for (lack of) notifications for some apps, but I think I could try to manage it.

@[email protected] the problem is understanding if I can do all my daily stuff without them. Maybe I'll put the sim back on that and try.

For a long time, I have had GrapheneOS on my Google Pixel 7 - which I don't use anymore as my main phone, but it's almost always on. It has some apps, but mainly, a constant connection to my email. No SIM card, connected via Wi-Fi.

I've always noticed a battery drain of about 4-5% overnight, sometimes even more, despite not having notifications and not using it.

Last night, I decided to remove Google Services. In 24 hours (and a few minutes of usage), it consumed 2% of the battery.

I'm trying to understand how much I need Google Services for my needs. The main messaging systems I currently use are bridged with Matrix, and on Element, I have notifications via ntfy (unified push).

In the coming days, I will try to see if it's possible for me to do without them.
