if you have a dual sim phone, can you use wifi calling for one sim over cellular data from the other?

i might want to get the cheapest slowest anroid phone just to mess with nfc tags, since that seems like it might be the path of least resistance for programing those, any specific positive or negative recommendations for a manufacturer/phone for that?

weast posted:i saw someone i know talk about trying to have an iphone for a while and complaining about how they couldn't do "power user" things on their phone like with android and how their friends are surprised about seeing a phone as "more than an entertainment + communication + phone rectangle" but their friends haven't "seen what they've seen". i can't possibly imagine what that is supposed to be does anyone here have any ideas? a while back i was tempted to try cloning the nfc chip in my univerisity id, and the recommendation i got for hardware was "cheap anroid phone" instead of a dedicated nfc reader/writer, in terms of cost and ease of setup/use of course that is not something i want my phone to be able to do, i would just be buying a nfc reader/writer that coincidentally happens to be a android telephone (i was never super motivated to try this anyway, and its even less of a priority now that i have only used my university id once in the last 5 months)

lol, last year i updated my car radio to one that does carplay and anroid auto, but have only ever used it with carplay, i installed it myself and its been fine for almost a year was visiting family and was kind of curious what the anroid auto looks like, connected my aunt's phone, anroid auto refused to do anything because the parking brake didnt appear to be on, i didnt think i missed any wires when connecting anything, i guess i would need to ground that wire instead apparently no way to bypass that either

mine did that after i left my phone it in my swimsuit pocket and went for a good swim the phone was toast (in retrospecxt), but i tried to power it on too early after drying it out in a bag of rice and apparently that also fried part of the sim card, had to go to my carrier shop store to get a new one so maybe you should not have done that too!!

This is an occurrence that's getting more frequent and more annoying in recent years, thanks to similar Google shutdowns of Google Play Music, Cloud Print, Inbox, Works with Nest, the ongoing Hangouts situation, and many others. That's to say nothing of the crazy history of this payment service, which used to be Google Wallet, then Android Pay, then Google Pay, and now it's a totally different Google Pay. [...]

mediaphage posted:no. or you never did but i haven’t had to sign up for a new one in years. in the beginning you could even pick your number by submitting repeated digits. you definitely need an actual phone number now to sign up for google voice, i just did it, after seeing someone dealing with their number being fraudulently ported from their sim, and realizing that i should have a backup phone number with which to talk to my carrier, set up before actually needing it, because the situation i would try to fix (give me my number back) would also preclude me from signing up for google voice at that time

apparently it is a relatively common occurrence for anroid manufacturers to issue os/security updates and screw up the certification process, causing phones to lose the ability to do contactless payment because of the os thinking its rooted (apologies for reddit) https://www.reddit.com/r/googlepay/comments/sun25v/phone_updated_to_feb_security_patch_yesterday_and/ https://www.reddit.com/r/googlepay/comments/s8jtla/all_of_a_sudden_google_pay_contactless_payment/ https://www.reddit.com/r/googlepay/comments/siewao/gpay_stopped_workingcant_set_up_contactless_or/ lol at undermining confidence that you can reliably use your phone to pay, i have actually stopped carrying a wallet or any payment cards unless i am going to the one store i know doesnt take apple pay, lmao at the idea of this randomly not working at any time not to mention the repeated posts like "all of the cards i add keep being deleted every morning and i have to re-add my card every morning before i leave to use public transit" like https://www.reddit.com/r/googlepay/comments/sj4cfm/cards_removed_daily/ lmao anroid

google is apparently rebranding the google pay/gpay/google wallet? thing againhttps://9to5google.com/2022/04/11/new-google-pay-wallet-icon/ posted:The “new” Google Pay was announced in November 2020 with two key tentpoles. Both have failed by all accounts, and the company said at the start of this year that Pay is next going to become a “comprehensive digital wallet.” That change has yet to materialize, but a new “Wallet” icon seen by 9to5Google could be the start of Google Pay’s future. there is a level beyond corporate adhd, and google has achieved it (i really did not know there was a "google wallet" which was just for p2p payments apparently?)

FlapYoJacks posted:If Apple implemented RCS it would be the exact standard. The problem with RCS right now is the standard is complete and utter garbage and even Google uses their own modified standard that they refuse to give to anyone else without all your messages being routes through Googles servers, which Apple really does not want to do. was about to post something like this, rcs is a loving joke and google's extensions to the standard (to make it actually useful) coincidentally route all messages through google's systems, readable by google to mine for advertising data, apple has a moral imperative not to interoperate with that, let alone the business justification Sagebrush posted:like imagine if you called a t-mobile person using your verizon phone and it sounded like poo poo because verizon artificially degraded the quality for anyone not on their network. and you asked "wtf" and they were like "get your friend to get on verizon, then. not our problem." that is a blatant abuse of power. poor analogy like imagine if you called a t-mobile person using your verizon phone and it sounded like poo poo because the common protocol was poo poo, and apple built a better version of this protocol/communication method, and then t-mobile and verizon and google whined that apple wasnt giving away what they built apple does give away a significant amount of technical standards/specs, both hardware and software, the lightning cable protocol became usb-c, afaik the homekit protocol became the matter standard, most companies give zero, and imessage being only usable on apple devices makes imessage spam virtually nonexistent in my experience, which would almost definitely not be the case if anyone could anonymously install imessage on anroid

Powerful Two-Hander posted:it's not even consistent between goddamn versions. you used to (on android 12 I think) be able to access the wallet app via the lock screen by (long?) pressing the power button, but that's been removed in 13 and the default is to have unlock, swipe down, select wallet or set the wallet and NFC payments to be running constantly what the gently caress lol. lmao. i seriously did not know how stupid that process is on (only recent?) android, vs. ios "press a button twice and authenticate by either looking at the phone or keeping your fingerprint on the same button" though of course i usually double-press the side button on my watch and hold it to the reader, except for the one store which has finicky nfc readers that require holding the card/device exactly still for 3-4 seconds and its more awkward to do that with my watch vs. phone

i can hold my (i)phone( 12 mini) up to the deadbolts on my front or back doors to unlock them, which works via nfc, and works even if the house has no power or wifi, meaning its actually dependable instead of needing to grab keys when leaving to walk the dog in case internet or power happens to go out that nfc functionality apparently requires hardware that wasnt in older iphones than the xr and xs, which were announced in fall 2018, and is also used for the apple carkeys and hotel keys

it is very appropriate, in the andoird thread, to state that smart home stuff is generally crap because everything wants you to make an account and use their app to collect your data, for a device which uses communication to a cloud service to control a device on your same local network meanwhile over in apple home, devices work locally first and foremost, with only a few bad manufacturers having their devices complain or stop working if their internet connection is cut off, meaning that (as i have done) you can block communication with the internet for almost everything, cutting off any way for the manufacturer to talk to its device and get any data about usage patterns or your setup/location/etc. the matter standard has all of those benefits of apple home but also allowing control through other ecosystems: can add a matter smart plug to apple home, google home, alexa, sarnsung smartthings, etc., but thats still relatively new, the spec is missing a bunch of devices that people have/want, and even the 1.2 revision of the spec hasnt been implemented in a lot of software like apple home yet
