Anyone else here losing WiFi signal on their Pixel 8..?

Wasn't doing it when I first bought it but seems like since 3-4 months ago that phone has been acting up :(

What does this have to do with linux phones?

[-] tal@lemmy.today 4 points 4 months ago

Strictly-speaking, the community sidebar doesn't define what "Linux-based" is, and I suppose that someone could not-unreasonably expect "Linux phones" to include Android rather than just GNU/Linux-based phones.

There’s a section with a list of linux mobile distros on the sidebar.

@tal @yonder I wouldn't call musl-based #postmarketos GNU/Linux either ;)

What are you running on yours? I was going to switch mine to Grapene but I have that awesome pink line in the screen and a repair is more than 50% of a new phone.

I had a green line on my screen. There is a problem with early pixel 8 / 8 pro screens and there is an extended warranty where they will replace it free. I don't even think you need to be the original owner.

Mine took about a week after I filled out the paperwork and was approved. I got back my original phone with a new screen on it, same IMEI etc.
