Xperia XZ2 Compact (2018) here. Running perfectly with LOS+microG.
But as the phone is starting to fall apart, my desperation is setting in.
I think my Pixel 5 will hold on for a bit longer, but I am starting to worry that there just might not be another small Android phone.
Do you have any issues with touch? My XZ2-C has weird touch issues that make it hard to use. Where I touch is different from where it registers the touch 1 mm above. Kind of a bummer. Also, no voice over wifi on Verizon. The phone supports it, but not on VZ network.
MicroG, is that just the stripped down Gapps package?
I never noticed that, I can even comfortably play Lemuroid. What I did notice, is that as the phone gets older, it more frequently wakes the display up without activating the input. So I sometimes see the picture but can't interact, until I turn the display off and on again. Seems to be related to physical wear.
No idea, not US.
Something much better: the only free software reimplementation. You can get it integrated into the ROM. And yes, you can install Google Maps onto that
.
Whoa. I'll have to check out mircoG. I've got LOS on my XZ2-C. Didbyou have to sideload mircoG?
Were you able to get VoLTE working on it? If so, HOW!? I only gave mine up kicking and screaming after the US 3G tower shutdown. Or well, after over a year of paying for a separate line & flip phone to make calls on.
...and now I like having 2 lines so I kept the flip phone.
...and I still use the LOS XZ2c like a mini tablet because I hate the stupid huge screen on its replacement.
I carry 3 phones now. Please send help
