Then, ditch that Tesla!

f13a-6c3a Thank you. Yes i had seen "indirect" answers saying that it worked, however i also found "indirect" answers on reddit saying that it didn't work. I was looking for a direct answer.

bummyjabbz

bummyjabbz Actually, several people on reddit have had issues with it, so I do have a reason to be inquiring.

I really hope the grapheneos community is much less pretentious than what I'm experiencing in this thread. TBH this experience (which is my first) is extremely off putting and is having me second guess whether I should make the change or not.

Hb1hf

bummyjabbz there has been a few obnoxious questions around here lately, so people may be understandably a bit short fused these days, but this is a great community, so don't be discouraged!

I have been getting genuine, non-snooty help pretty consistently in the past week I've spent flying by the seat of my pants on a switch from being a lifelong iPhone user to GOS, FOSS, and Google-avoidant practices.

Psst, I've been asking oodles of questions lately, am I a contributing factor to this? I hope not but please let me know if I've been obnoxious, I'd much rather be told to my face... Well, so to speak.

Hb1hf

GlytchMeister lol I don't know, I'm guessing no?

I was thinking of things like this:

I uh... I'm gonna just withhold commentary on... That.

For anyone reading this looking for an answer, I can confirm the App is working and the Phone Key feature works as well. App had Network, Nearby Devices and Sensor permissions enabled before logging in and for a first successful unlock Google Play Services with Network Access are required (as well as Nearby Devices for the Key function), but network permission can be taken away after logging in. At the time of writing the log in process can be a bit frustrating as you need to input your password and reload the page many times before being successfully logged in. If you are redirected to the Sign In page you see when first opening the App, after entering your password, wait a few seconds before pressing Sign in again as a successful login takes a bit to redirect you to the real app. I hope this is helpful for someone. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask :)

Hey!
Are you able to use UWB for the key?? I'm on pixel 9 and cannot get the app to show the upgrade prompt. Bluetooth only. Any suggestions?

Peter_up_north

Kamrov Are you still using the Tesla app inside GrapheneOS and is it continuing to work as you described? I just bought a Pixel 8 and intend to install GrapheneOS. I have a 2020 Model Y and might just use the Tesla card and forego using the app, but I do appreciate the convenience if its sandboxed.

Were you able to get the calendar to sync?

Papaya

Jeffgtx I didn't manage to make it work. At least with proton calendar.

Any tips on how to get this to work? I recently installed gos and I have the Tesla app installed and am trying to get it to work as my key. I'm logged in and every time I click set up as key it says location services must be on. Which it is. But it still won't let me add it.

aj53108 you need to install Google chrome and set it as your default browser this is only way I found to login to the app. You can delete chrome once signed in.

You'll also want to make sure you have play services installed and allow unrestricted battery use, network access and sensors. Make you allow the Tesla unrestricted battery use too as well network access, other permissions seem to be fine and user can freely choose.

The app should operate as normal, it still be a little temperamental via load screen freeze but I've always witnessed the same load screen freeze on my wife iPhone 15 pro, so I feel that's possibility just Tesla issue.

Edit

The key issue seems to be an app developer issue as again my wife iPhone has the same problem but my GOS PP8 was works fine, although I made sure to give the app NFC access.

Wadder

Wadder I should add I gave NFC permission as even though phone key (I understand) only needs to Bluetooth to function. The feature worked better and more reliably with NFC

aj53108

Wadder I can get past the login screen. It's on the main app screen where you hit setup phone as key. It tells me it needs location access. In the app I have location, network, notifications, sensors, and nearby devices.

I changed the battery to unrestricted in Tesla and play services. Still not working. Still says "please enable location services"

Earlier in the thread there was a report from a user who got it working on a phone running GrapheneOS (Wadder).

aj53108 In the app I have location, network, notifications, sensors, and nearby devices.

Many apps that use Play Services require Play Services to have permissions. In this case, for example, it may be the case that the app needs Play Services to have the nearby-device permission.

aj53108

de0u it does. I had that thought too.
