Yes, Pixel 7 pro. Found no issues so far. The wife's Pixel 7, that has been plagued by dropped calls on Android 14, seems to be stable again
Do you use the Stock OS, or a custom ROM?
100% unrooted stock
Yes, GrapheneOS is always very quick to push out new updates.
Could we please normalize hosting polls on Mastodon or another Fediverse service until Lemmy finally implements them, not some random website?
I looked for alternatives but didn't find a suitable one. Mastodon would require a separate login. I looked into What-a-poll but the tool isn't suitable for simple polls like this.
I would happily use something better than strawpoll.
Mastodon would require a separate login.
Ok I just assumed that most people on Lemmy would also have a Mastodon account, apparently that's not really the case?
I'm desperately waiting for Lemmy to add support for federated polls

Me too
Still on 13, I'm reluctant to update as Motorola is known to leave bugs unaddressed for a long time
Realme will release Android 15 in Q1 of 2025, next year and it will be buggy. So, I will wait either way. Only pixels and a select few OEM devices have android 15 now.
Anyone know about any Sesame alternatives? That app seems largely abandoned. It still suffices, but it's missing some stuff I'd like to see (like integration with a work profile).
I came across Pixel Search; which looks nice but doesn't quite have the same ease of use Sesame does. It also hasn't been updated in a year.
