Not much to add. Saw it in another technology forum and thought it also belonged here for the solarpunks

One "little" thing makes it very frustrating for me: the volume button does not change the volume of the notifications/rings. It defaults to media sound and there is no way to change the default. Has been an open ticket for years, and that stupid thing alone makes me consider buying a different phone next time.

    I've had that one every single android phone since 2019 and it makes me very upset that they don't set it up the sane and proper way (the way it was from 2009-2019)

    What the hell? It also failed to wake me up when one of my priority contacts tried to contact me on an emergency because some defaults had changed.

    I have resisted installing replicant on my phone because I feared some core functionalities would be missing, but now I don't see why not anymore.

    Yeah core functionalities are missing from modern android. Might as well install a more privacy focused or legacy support instance ROM and not give some tech company some money for a product you won't like as much. Also keep some cadmium out of a landfill
