Ich habe einen Jellyfin Server laufen und die alten Smartphones werden als Mediengeräte mit der Jellyfin App genutzt. Wahlweise können sie die Dinger mit ihren Bluetooth Lautsprechern oder der Heimanlage verbinden. Jellyfin kann auch Video usw. Internet ist komplett gesperrt. Die Kinder lieben es und kommen gut damit klar.
Setzt halt voraus, dass man die Medien auch besitzt und digital ablegt.
@kelbot using my #Xiaomi #MiA1 for size comparison (which is 155.4 x 75.8 mm) as I don't have any measuring tape handy, I think it would stick out slightly at the top, but otherwise would fit quite well.
I doubt @mntmn's latest device will fit my limited budget, but otherwise I'd probably hop right on it. :)
I desperately need a new #mobilePhone as my current one (a #Xiaomi #MiA1) was bought way back in 2018 or so, and is showing its age (slow, apps don't stay in memory, and tomorrow I'll be replacing the charging board for the third or fourth time...).
I'm currently looking at either the Xiaomi #RedmiNote10Pro or the #RedmiNote11S for about 2200 NOK from a European webshop that doesn't take ages on shipping.
Specs-wise they are fairly similar: https://www.kimovil.com/en/compare/xiaomi-redmi-note-10-pro-6gb-128gb,xiaomi-redmi-note-11s-6gb-128gb
with the 10 Pro's pros include having a Snapdragon instead of MediaTek chipset, higher Antutu score, better screen, more durable glass and better macro lens.
Its cons however include being a tad bigger, and perhaps more importantly: being older (March 2021 vs January 2022) than the 11S (and thus likely will have less updates remaining), which could be an issue with how I tend to use my phones beyond their support date...
I've also read some disturbing hardware and software, and bloatware issues, and I'm not sure how much of that is due to negative feedback bias, and dodgy early Android releases that should perhaps have stayed beta for longer...
I've yet to do a similar hw/sw issues research for the 11S though, so perhaps that will have similar issues reported.
I'm also not sure how much I'll actually like #MiUI, as my previous Xiaomi was an #AndroidOne device, and thus had 3 major updates worth of stock #Android... from what I've heard the Xiaomi of that period can't quite be compared to the current one...
None of the phones I've looked at for the past 1-2 years have really stood out for me, but I also think I'm running out of time on my current one... ugh, I hate being forced to replace hardware due to hardware and software degradation...

Ah, yes, of course the charging port on my #MiA1 that I only recently replaced, is again having issues. Slight touch will make it stop charging again.
At least for now it's still charging at full speed, so I can hopefully keep the amount of time it's plugg :boost_no: ed in, at a minimum; at least till it inevitably wears down again to the point I have to apply hackish ways of keeping it charging.
These repeated setbacks are really starting to wear me down...

Charging up my #Xiaomi #MiA1 after having replaced its charging board. Will close it up after I've made sure it's fully charged.
Let's hope the USB port on this one will last longer than the previous replacement...
At least a quick check with the camera app seems to indicate it has also fixed the broken microphone, which is on the same board.

@jk installed fine on my #Xiaomi #MiA1, and loaded @kelbot 's gem-port just fine. :)
(Did complain about missing fonts, even after installing all available font-packs, but that's probably a matter of finding the right font that actually has that glyph. IIRC I have the same issue on Windows anyway.)
Não fui capaz de resistir, acabei colocando a MIUI 12 pra testar e, apesar de lenta, ela está com uma melhora significativa na tela de toque.
Vou ficar nela até sair uma ROM estável do Android 12...

#mastoaiuto AAA Cercasi alternativa per rimpiazzare Android One
Ho un #MiA1 con installato #AndroidOne, che al me di 3 anni fa (quando ho comprato il telefono) sembrava una gran figata ma al me di oggi che ha iniziato ad avere qualche perplessità su #Google non fa poi così tanto impazzire…
Quindi ho deciso di sostituire la versione stock di #android con una #ROM più attenta alla privacy ma che mantenga comunque una buona UX, consigli?

Got to see some lovely #skies just after #midnight last night. Shame the phone's camera doesn't quite do them justice, but I was too lazy to grab the DSLR and manually transfer the photos afterwards, so the #MiA1 with a port of #GCam will have to do.

Right, so it is the bottom main microphone of my #Xiaomi #MiA1 which is not working. The top microphone is working, which apparently is the one used when recording video, and which my call recorder app probably uses.
The only way for me to get the other party to hear me over telephony, is to switch to Speaker-mode instead (and reduce speaker volume so the rest of the room doesn't hear the other end of my conversation).
Apparently the bottom microphone is on that USB charger port board; the same board I replaced a couple of months ago, and which also failed to properly charge again earlier this week...
Not sure if I want to order a new one yet again, struggle to open my phone and replace it once more, or 'just' to get a new phone and use this as a primary backup device...
It just shows how little I use my phone for phone calls.
Tried calling someone tonight, but they couldn't hear me... I might've bodged something while replacing the #Xiaomi #MiA1's USB port?
It's odd, because I can hear audio input while recording video...
Is the mobile telephony chip using a different microphone than the rest of the device perhaps?
It charged to 100% while the phone was turned off without issues.
It'll be good to no longer have to rock the cable back and forth and hold it tightly in place to get it to charge for a short while.
Won't let it charge unattended yet till I am certain the charging board connector actually stays in place though...
Let's see if I can manage to replace the charging board of my #Xiaomi #MiA1.
It'll be good to finally have that back as my #DailyDriver again.
Started an alt for @FiXato@mastodon.social here on toot.cat to see if #Glitchsoc is a closer match to what I want out of a #SocialMediaPlatform, feature-wise.

Al fin instalé #LineageOS en mi Xiaomi #MiA1, ya no aguantaba más los servicios de Google ahí instalados aunque no los usara, muchas aplicaciones aún libres intentaban usarlos.
