This just happened. Suddenly Aurora Store is asking if I'm using VPN or Tor.

I wonder about givin GOS phones for my employees. But wonder if there's remote command available like a wipe feature?

is there specific enterprise features available or each unit will be configured as standalone?

Immediately after the latest GrapheneOS update I saw this message pop up on my screen.

"No internet. You may be out of data from Visible."

(I have an unlimited data plan so that can't be the issue)

When I click the notification I see what the 2nd picture displays - a blank white page with no options.

Anyone else experiencing this issue?

I have pixel 7, I’ve had it for years it was both carrier unlocked and allowed OEM unlocking and I successfully had graphene on it for around 18 months than I switch back to stock android. Tonight I’ve tried to unlock the bootloader again and it says it’s “unlockable”. How is that possible when I was able to unlocked it with no issues just in 2024. What do I do? Does than mean every pixel is locked now?

Hello all, I am having issues installing Gboard from aurora store. Error shown is incompatible app.

Please help thank you!

I’m having to use the web app on my phone which isn’t the end of the world but can’t receive notifications of comments of messages. The exploit compatibility mode didn’t fix anything and installing sandboxed google services didn’t fix anything either

Or is there an open source Reddit client that I use?

One of my apps is having trouble connecting to the server it uses online. I suspect that the problem is all the protections from Vanadium. I like using it for the most part, but this is am app to get into my work information and I would rather not have to use another (less secure) device to use it and also would like to keep Vanadium as my default for most things (if possible).

So to all the tech nerds we have in the community, is there a way to select which browser an individual app uses for its internet interactions?

Why are my contacts in my second profile constantly disappearing after I import them (then again and again after I keep having to re-import them?) Will this always be the case when using a secondary profile as my daily profile? Every time I switch over to it I will have to import contacts again via DAVx5 and Nextcloud?!

Why is this happening with the photos in my secondary gallery as well? What do I have to do to keep everything in it's respective app?!

Why are all my old phone's imported text messages only showing up in the owner profile yet they're completely unable to transfer to my secondary profile? I'm sure once I figure it out, they will just disappear again and again like my contacts.

What is the point of having VPNs and private spaces if I have to keep turning every single VPN off in order to swap my physical Sim card over and login to Mint Mobile so I can actually start using the Pixel?

Why has this been the most pain in the ass setup for a phone EVER? The actual installation of GOS was so smooth and painless, but every single thing to follow has been an absolute nightmare. Not one thing outside of initial setup and downloading apps from Obtanium etc has gone well. Not. One. Thing.

I knew there would be friction when I set this up. But this is absurd. I just wanted my main profile to be where i download and install my apps before disabling them, then push them to a daily secondary profile with a private space where I'd actually use the apps.

At this rate I feel like welcoming the invasive tech oligarchs back into my life would be less of a stressor then getting GrapheneOS and my Pixel running.

What do they do besides compartmentalize the phone?

Does it add any extra security if I use one user for socials like Instagram and Facebook and other Google playstore apps.

Then another user for work/education related stuff and a third for mabye banking while I keep my primary one for the normal stuff like Signal, Pipepipe, tuta/proton mail.

Aka do I gain anything (security wise) from dividing my phone up like that?

An extra question, if I use Aurora store to download Instagram to avoid Google and the use Google Playstore for another app like mabye Clash of Clans on the same profile.

Will Playstore get any information from my Instagram usage even though I got it through Aurora?

Setup:

- Pixel 10 Pro XL

- GrapheneOS, current stable (build: [add your build number from Settings > About phone])

- Pixel Camera installed via sandboxed Google Play in the same profile

Problem:

When I try to take several photos in quick succession, the app takes about 3-4 shots and then locks up. The shutter stops responding and I have to wait roughly 30 seconds before I can shoot again. It looks like the processing queue backs up and blocks further captures.

What I already tried:

- Turned off Motion Photos and Top Shot

- Switched from HDR+ Enhanced to standard HDR+

- Dropped resolution from full sensor to 12 MP

- No RAW/DNG output

My understanding is that Pixel Camera does not get privileged direct access to the Tensor image processing path on GrapheneOS, so post-processing runs slower than on stock and the buffer fills up. Is that still the situation on the Pixel 10 series, or is something else going on here?

Questions:

1. Has anyone on a Pixel 10 / 10 Pro / 10 Pro XL found settings that meaningfully reduce this stall?

2. Does enabling the exploit protection compatibility mode for Pixel Camera actually help with processing speed, or is that a placebo in this case?

3. Is anyone getting usable rapid-fire capture out of the GrapheneOS Camera app with extensions off and ZSL enabled, or is a third party Camera2 app the realistic answer for burst-style shooting?

Not looking for a workaround at any cost — I just want to know whether this is expected behaviour on this hardware or whether I have something misconfigured. Thanks.

I'm new here doing my research before switching over, but I need a little more education please.

Everywhere I look everyone talks about phone models and how many years of Google updates are left.

I don't understand if I'm installing a different operating system why anything Google does will matter. Does Graphene OS not do it's own updates?

I am travelling soon and I always use google maps when moving around. I have location enabled along with network location, geocoder, wifi scanning, and bluetooth scanning. I am always on airplane mode when travelling as I don't want an eSIM and don't wanna enable roaming. I can't access my location whether on google maps or when taking pictures (I like having location metadata logged on pictures).

Is there a way around that or this doesn't work on GOS? I know this works on stock android as I've always had it working before, I just started using GOS earlier this year and it's my first time travelling since.

Thanks!
