This fucking guy calls me mid meeting.

How do I block random assholes from calling me?

Google... I don't know, add them to your contacts and then block them?

How about you can't call me? How about I just select the name and the option appears for me to block the caller?

A phone is a fucking door to my life. I don't tolerate Jehovah's deepshits on Saturday mornings. Why would I allow a rando calling me mid meeting? That's why I don't give out my phone. Phone numbers are just even dumber than this. But if anyone who pays Google can just call me, that system is not usable to me.

Sorry Google, One fuck us is one too many for me, I'm out. I'll be removing that app now. Thanks!

  • Enable USB debugging in developer settings

  • Get adb (platform-tools) here: https://developer.android.com/tools/releases/platform-tools

  • Extract the zip and open a cmd inside the folder

  • Plug in your phone and check if you're connected by sending adb devices

  • Uninstall any app using adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.example.app

In your case: adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.google.android.apps.tachyon

You could also do it using Termux if you don't have a desktop on hand

You can remove undeletable apps using Canta and Shizuku

I think that's actually how it works on the backend (someonr please correct me if I'm wrong!) but it's a bit more convenient since I don't have to plug in to a computer.

[–] PolarPirate@lemmy.zip 5 points 4 days ago

You gotta look into the open source community. They can handle this super easy

Oh man! Motorola did it to me!

I purchased their overpriced phone, they said delivery today. I ordered covers from Amazon. But then I check the website by using the confirm link from my email and it says something like preparing to ship expected may 15 which is today. WTF!

I then check my checking account and no surprise there's a charge! They took my money but did not ship me my phone. Then I check the rando phone number that interrupted me during my meeting.... Motorola services we need to confirm some items!!!!!! WTF!

Let me explain how this is going to go down on Monday. I will call their phone. If they put me on hold I will hang up, call visa and cancel my purchase. Then I'll call back and wait for their shit show about confirming whatever the fuck they want to confirm. Once they confirm what they wanted to confirm, I will explain to them how transactions work. You got a phone, I give you money, you send my phone. You don't receive an order, charge the account and then not send the product.

There's nothing to confirm. I entered my address, Picked the products I wanted and entered my payment information and agreed to checkout. Confirm what?

Amazon never calls to confirm anything.

I'm pretty close to just outright canceling the order right now. Like if someone makes a big notice I might just go off and call visa or MasterCard or whatever and let them know that I never got my product but they just charged my account.

So far, a bad experience.

lol. they're removing the app. that'll teach google.

Use a Linux phone or continue to get fucked by Google or Apple.

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Agreed. I'm just about having it. I get a new phone in the mail this Friday. It was a tough choice... Pixel 10 so I could just jump into a non Google OS or Motorola since they are partnering with non android postmarketos

So I got another Motorola with Android. I'm going to limp on this hoping for a grapheneos upgrade.

C'mon Motorola, I bought your phone because you partnered with grapheneos. Give us an update pathway to grapheneos!

[–] helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

...sorry to tell you, but a current gen Motorola phone probably won't have a future with grapheneos.

I don't know the specifics, but I'm fairly certain there's some hardware stuff that needs to be done to meet what the Grapheme devs want for security.

I could be completely wrong, but I suggest you look into it a lot deeper... while the Motorola can be returned if you want GrapheneOS sooner than your next new phone. Although boosting Motorola sales instead of googles is good too.

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, I know. It's just to hold me over.

[–] helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Oh, I see. I read that as if you were expecting your new phone to eventually get graphene support. Just wanted to make sure...

[–] flyingSock@feddit.org 4 points 3 days ago

for phone calls use a white list. phone is always set to do not disturb,selected contacts in address book are allowed to disturb even in do not disturb mode

Yes, but nah. We are talking different things here

  1. phone numbers -> stupid, anyone can call you.

  2. voice over IP -> Google's meet was a great idea but now a rando just called me so it means anyone can just call me and I am not able to just block them.

A good solution is for me to be able to share a link. For family I would always allow the link. For my friends too. But for co-workers I could impose a 8-5 limit. For randos I could block anyone/everyone and only allow the places I want to allow to call me.

I could make it such that only if you meet me in person you can call me. Everyone else can suck a dick and fuck themselves.

[–] mastertigurius@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

Or if you want a completely Google free experience that's not android or apple, try Jollaphone.
