What did you do to get OSM working properly? I’ve not used it enough to get to know it because it’s not been reliable enough for me. But a couple of times it’s taken me as far as a road, but didn’t know where on the road my destination was.
Comment on Samsung teams up with Glance to use your face in AI-generated lock screen ads
BigDaddySlim@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoDid the same thing last September, my S21 Ultra’s battery was getting tired and I was tired of the Samsung bullshit. So far it’s been great and so has battery life, plus it’s a breath of fresh air to only have apps I want installed without needing ADB to remove them after Google/Samsung decides they want them reinstalled every few weeks.
Only downfalls have been my broken banking app (which might be the actual app being broken based on Google Play reviews) and the amount of tweaking I needed to do to get OSM as my default map for Android Auto.
I finally have a phone that actually feels like mine, not just a leased device from the manufacturer.

You have to use the Google Play version of OSM for Android Auto, plus tweak a setting or two in the advanced settings of AA. As for the maps itself it’s been fine, I use GPS not Google Play Services for location, so I need to make sure the phone is in clear view of the sky for best results, but it still works in the center console of my car. Just make sure your location services are on before opening OSM or it acts funky.

Same here man. Was using an s20 for a long time and was generally happy with it but after moving to an s22 due to charging issues, I wasn’t happy with the way that Samsung changed things. I don’t like how they often try to force a Samsung account.
And I REALLY don’t like this. I should never have to look at baked in ads in my OS that I paid for. I don’t care if its just on the lockscreen because you know that’s only the beginning.
