@splat said in Does NodeBB work on Android smartphones?:

I had a go at setting up nodebb and it seems to have installed alright and the desktop version seems to work fine. However on my Motorola XT316 Android phone whenever I try to post anything it cause the web browser to freeze. When I try to log in it causes the web browser to do a download which I found quite odd, but the download would always fail. Does anyone know if Android version 2.3.4 is a supported platform for NodeBB?

I had an old shitbox phone running 2.3 gingerbread back when we first started building NodeBB, and it worked fine. Did have some issues with sockets, although we've addressed that recently. That said, if anybody is having problems with a specific OS/device please open up an issue on GitHub, and if you're willing to help us debug I'm sure we can try and figure it out for you.

It's great. I hope in the future same goes for flagship devices. At the moment it feels like getting a phone like this or Fairphone, you make a compromise in having a sustainable phone but only get mid-range specs.

It seems things are moving slowly in that direction (obviously thanks to regulatory pressures), Pixels allowing re-pairing fingerprint sensor after replacement, iPhone 14 allowing for sane back glass replacements, Samsung finally adding battery pull-tabs in S23.
I just hope these moves don't stop regulation attempts (at least until they go much further), but otherwise they are very promising.

it is definitely ridiculous. I could rather use my 15 years old Android 2 HTC Desire than a rooted phone with current security patches. I know there are workarounds with Magisk Hide etc. but in the past it was such a pain that I just sticked to stock rom.

Thanks for asking this question. i am thinking the same. if you got any solution kindly please reply me here.
