Nothing announced this morning that Circle to Search has arrived for Nothing OS 3.0, meaning owners of Nothing Phone 2, Phone 2a, and Phone 2a Plus (in beta) now have Google more deeply integrated into their device. When activated, you can circle literally anything that... #Android #CircletoSearch
Now if only call screening was available on all devices that’d be great.
This would be an awesome feature. It should be made available on other devices like Circle to search.
NOOOOO, you nEed to bUy piXeL for that!
sadly, i have to rely on Carrion from f-droid to block everything (dont have a pixel) :(
Why “sadly”? What’s your experience with Carrion?
I transferred my old number to a VoIP provider and got a new number that I only give to friends and family.
I don’t get spam calls on either number now.
Have you ever used Yet Another Call Blocker?
I’m curious how it compares to Carrion (I’m not sure they’re directly comparable, looks like Carrion does a little more than YACB).
I’ve used YACB for years, just to keep my phone from ringing for unknown calls, and only allow contacts to ring through.
The play store link does not work and the fdroid app was last updated in 2021.
You will have to switch soon. DivestOS has been shutdown
There’s still Lineage (which is what DivestOS is based on), and Graphene for Pixel.
I’m currently running DivestOS on a 2017 flagship, it’s really good there (I also run it on some Pixels).
I’m really hoping someone (preferably a team) will pickup DivestOS. Makes me wish I had the leadership skills to pull a team together.
I was takking more about the apps being shutdown. DivestOS shutdown with its suit of mobile apps.
I use this on my pixel with Graphene OS and it works great once I completely degoogoled my entire phone my spam calls and text pretty much all went away.
I recently switched my cell service to JMP.chat, which pipes your SMS into XMPP (it’s brilliant, SMS is no longer tied to a physical device or SIM). I still get spam sms, but it’s far less an issue.
Plus I can pop any Sim into my phone and it has no affect on my phone number that’s with JMP. That all remains in XMPP, and the new SIM would just provide a different data connection (and it’s own number with its own voice and SMS).
