Idk where else to post this, but my fairphone 4 is acting a bit "quirky" spamming silent notfications saying "big brother is watching you" and "E/OS has blocked 100% of tracking attempts" along with flagging other apps for containing trackers.. Help?

Turn off reports in the advanced privacy settings. I got "spammed" with the same after updating to e/os 3.2 yesterday.

Alternatively, learn how to mute notifications by pressing and holding the notification, turning it off in the menu. Gone forever. Until you learn how to find the notification settings and turn it back on. So, practically gone forever.

Edit: I lied, I didn't get spammed with the same notifications after updating. I got spammed by the same notifications twice after updating since I run Shelter for Work Profiles so Advanced Privacy gets duplicated.

Notifications currently look like this and even if I x out of it they just keep reappearing

!e_os@lemmy.world

You can disable the notifications of Advanced Privacy in the menu appearing when long pressing on a notification.

Okay I can do that. But is it normal for it to be glitching like that?

[–] foliumcreations@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

If you clear app data for Advanced Privacy, it solves the glitching. Had that same issue earlier this week.

Ok so it's EOS and not necessarily the Fairphone?

Shift phone 8 is better

It's not, until it's available. Þeir website says it's available for pre-order.

Will it work in þe US?

[–] goatinspace@feddit.org 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah. Murena sells them

[–] Sxan@piefed.zip 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Which one is it? I don't see it for sale in the US.

The HIROH and FairPhone 6 are the only high-spec'ed phones Murena self- in the US, and the HIROH is pre-order. Where are you seeing it?

Might need to clear browser cache. Search murena shift phone 8 on search engine. Select 512gb add to basket. Checkout with US address.
