  • Thanks!

    Sadly, more and more apps are starting to use the Google Integrity API. This API checks if you’re using a “safe” OS, so you probably can figure out yourself what this means… Super annoying. It is going to be: live with it, or go to alternatives.

    My bank app still works, but recently there was some news they also are adding the API. If it stops working, i will either leave them, or just use another device or simply use the browser.
    As for Android Auto, there is not much advice i can give. I have no need for it myself.


  • I’m very happy with mine! This picture is taken with the Nikkor 24/1.7 lens, not the standard lens kit. I pretty much almost always use this one. Only when i want to make pictures of landscapes/big open ereas, or want to have the wide-lens effect, i grab the standard lens kit. The one that came with the Z30 (lens kit) was the 12-28mm F/3.5-5.6 PZ VR.

    The camera, extra battery, lens kit and prime lens all fit perfectly in a tiny bag, which makes a perfect travel buddy!









  • Glad you like it too!

    As for step counters, i personally use a Garmin Instinct 2 Solar (watch). I’m able to use Garmin’s software and that work as intented with my watch. A watch is not for everyone, but it might be worth it to look into some sort of sport/smart watch. As for a standalone app that counts, i really don’t have any suggestions for you. You might like something like Geo Tracker though. It doesn’t count steps (i think), but you can record where you walked, how far you walked and how fast you walked, etc.



  • Fairphone 3: 158 x 71.8 x 9.9 mm (6.22 x 2.83 x 0.39 in)

    Fairphone 6: 156.5 x 73.3 x 9.6 mm (6.16 x 2.89 x 0.38 in)

    They are actually a lot closer in size than i thought. The case is not super thin so this will add quite some to the overall size… I think the size difference is not going to be a big problem. Unless you’re going to buy some back customizations from Fairphone, i would recommend getting another case once they are available. It works fine, but it just feel weird with the standard back…


  • You can turn off the fingerprint yes.There’s also this setting:

    This helps for accidental unlocks, but i also like to unlock everything at the same time.

    As for the screenshot shortcut, i don’t see a way to turn that off.

    The closest thing you’ve got to a firewall is the Advanced Privacy. Tapping the “more permissions” setting just sends you to Android’s standard permission manager. Here’s what it looks like:



  • Alright i checked those apps. Glovo’s behaviour is a bit weird. I was not able to login using the Google button. However, i was able to create an account with my email. The only thing i have acces to after that is the map, which says that they don’t deliver where i live. I can’t go to anything other than that. Not even the app’s settings or whatever… so no, this does not work properly.

    As for Citymapper, it seems to work fine so far! It is able to find my location and i’m free to use the app however i like.
