Hi everyone,
Just got GOS and joined this forum.
I still haven't been able to migrate to my new Pixel, however, b/c there seems to be an issue with Signal verification. I found an open issue on github, a discussion on Signal forums, a discussion on Graphene forums here, and a couple posts on reddit (1, 2).
HOWEVER, I'm not sure if all of these are referring to the same issue, which is why I included the Graphene post about it above and am creating a new one here. Because the issues on signal forum and graphene forum are referring to seeing "Signal 'Unable To Connect To Service' Error after typing in SMS code", and both seem to be from a much earlier date (March 2023).
The github, reddit, and this post I'm writing are about being "stuck on Verification screen" (sometimes WITHOUT the error message above), and from much more recent date (2-3 days ago). The issue seems to be present in the current stable Signal version for android 7.11.3 but fixed in 7.12 which is still beta.
Now, I wonder whether these issues seem to be unique to Graphene OS and not Android in general?
1) I tried installing on several androids (Tecno) and didn't face this issue even with the same Signal version 7.11.3.
2) most people reporting it seem to be using Graphene.
Note: I tried all possible installations of Signal: Obtanium without Google Play, as well as through Google Play.
Is anyone else facing this? Could you confirm it's unique to Graphene and not all Android?
Thanks a lot.
