csrcsr Are you sure this is a GOS related issue? A quick net search says Pixels in general have more battery drain and heat issues than other phones, and P.Fold is worse. I don't experience it myself with my P6a, but gotta keep ears open when so many others complain about it.

      dgzeij I am not sure. My original question was asked about hardware or software.

      However, I have found one app that was making thing way worse. I was sick of the auto brightness being too dim. So I tried an app called "Velis Auto Brightness." It tries to give you it's own auto brightness with full customization. However, since the Fold wont allow native brightness control, it uses an overlay instead. But in order for the overlay to work, the brightness is pumped to 100% in the background, and the overlay dims from there. The app doesn't make this obvious, but I eventually figured it out. ... so back to stock auto brightness. I would love custom control/profiles/ai learning/something better for auto brightness in GOS.

      However, the phone is still warm, and the charging is very slow. Something is still up. Even when I plug it in to charge, the screen saver will say "Charging Rapidly - Full in 59 min" for example, but 59 minutes later it will be NOWHERE near full charged.

      Is there a way to see all the apps that are not "optimized" for battery use in one place? I know I can go to the individual app and then to battery to check the settings. However, on my Samsung, there was a page that listed all apps that were optimized and another list for unrestricted. It made it easy to check on those permissions at a glance and find the culprit.

        BUG:

        I am running the stable version for the Fold. If I have "Night Light" and/or "Dim Mode" on... and then turn it off on the front closed screen, it will still be visually active on the unfolded big screen, even though the toggle indicators say those modes are off.

        The problem can be fixed by turning on the mode while unfolded and then turning off again.

          Work profiles don't seem to work. I tried Android Enterprise, island, and shelter. Always fails to install. Anyone else have this working on their fold?

            csrcsr There is definitely an issue between "Night Light", "Extra Dim", setting them on timers and the two screens. A number of combinations of those features will cause them to get 'stuck' on, even though the icon feedback says they are off.

                scrampker Are you trying to do so on the Owner profile, or another one? Work profiles only work on the owner profile. Not GrapheneOS specific.

                  csrcsr this is also my only current issue, I use tabletop mode often for my daughter to watch a show while out lol

                    I have about 59 days until my Verizon Google Fold OEM gets unlocked. I cant wait to help with this effort in the future

                      acolyte3221 Verizon locks their device's bootloader and there is no way for them to reverse it which means you won't have the ability to unlock the OEM and install GrapheneOS. What you are referring to is Carrier unlocking in which, if you were to ever switch to a different phone carrier, you will be able to use your Fold on that provider's network.

                        https://grapheneos.org/install/web#prerequisites

                        "To make sure that the device can be unlocked to install GrapheneOS, avoid carrier variants of the devices. Carrier variants of Pixels use the same stock OS and firmware with a non-zero carrier id flashed onto the persist partition in the factory. The carrier id activates carrier-specific configuration in the stock OS including disabling carrier and bootloader unlocking."

                          I was not able to activate service onto AT&T using my Fold with graphene (worked OK on Verizon). The mobile provider ported the number OK, but the actual sim card activating would not work. Ultimately, I had to put the SiM in a different phone, let it activate, and then swap it back to the fold. I even tried eSIM and those didn't work either.

                          I also noticed that I cannot setup a sim card pin lock. It asks for my current pin. PUK codes from the provider don't work.

                          Not sure if this is a graphene issue, just posting here for info.

                          Hello! Are you still looking for Beta testers? I might get access to a used Pixel Fold soon.

                            cru_103 Absolutely! We're always looking for people to help out with testing new OS and app releases. Feel free to join the alpha/beta testing room on Matrix. There will be announcements about new releases there and that's where people provide their initial feedback!

                              notestein Check social media. There was a posting earlier today about the max priority issues which are all Android 14 regressions and how the GrapheneOS developers plan to get them all fixed for the next release which is in a couple days. They're being prioritized over Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro support.

                                  I've got a Pixel 6 pro and a Pixel 7 pro both running grapheneos.

                                  Thanks for the info on v14 priority... But I still have the Pixel 8 pros and would still be happy to test.

                                  So the question remains. Are we looking at 3 months. 6 months. I could guess, but thought I'd ask. :)
