Does anyone know of a modern #Android phone which allows call recording *without* root?
-
Good news on the #GrapheneOS front - the new firmware has DisplayPort over USB-C.
I plugged into a hub, my phone detected Ethernet, mouse, keyboard, and the monitor!
Only problem is, I've no idea how to rotate the *external* screen on Android. Any clues?

Bugger. Looks like Starling bank has stopped working with #GrapheneOS

Is there an existing issue for this? I have searched the existing issues App name Starling Bank - Mobile Banking Link to app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.starlingbank.android App version 2.41.2.63454 Country of the a...

So I either need to get a new phone which has an unmodified OS, hope that Starling fix it, or move bank.
All within the next 14 days.
NB it is completely legitimate that software makers can decide where their code runs - see https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2023/05/the-limits-of-general-purpose-computation/ - but it annoys me.
(Please don't be a confidently wrong man clogging up my replies.)

@Edent Starling still works with my Calyxos and microg on my fairphone 4

@JustineSmithies don't update to the latest version of the app.
-
@redauburn
Argh! Don't say that! Mine seems to be OK so far. -
@Edent I'm currently on app version 3.47.0.97816 and it's still working. What's the version that it ceases on ?
-
@JustineSmithies
That's the one I'm on. It updated a little while ago, but i only got the in-app security notification today. -
@Edent It surprised me to learn that so many people are willing to change banks rather than phones, guess y'all are true believers

@jawnsy
No, we just live in a country which makes it easy to automatically switch banks.
A strong government regulator has meant that retail banking is free, switching is painless, and banks will provide monetary incentives to attract customers. -
@Edent at least there is an alternative to switch to another bank
But if you're an immigrant, have just one smartphone, and has to switch to eVisa because Home Office decides to go fully paperless since 2025? "Nah nah, get lost, you're doomed"
