You have to use the Google Play version of OSM for Android Auto, plus tweak a setting or two in the advanced settings of AA. As for the maps itself it’s been fine, I use GPS not Google Play Services for location, so I need to make sure the phone is in clear view of the sky for best results, but it still works in the center console of my car. Just make sure your location services are on before opening OSM or it acts funky.

Did the same thing last September, my S21 Ultra’s battery was getting tired and I was tired of the Samsung bullshit. So far it’s been great and so has battery life, plus it’s a breath of fresh air to only have apps I want installed without needing ADB to remove them after Google/Samsung decides they want them reinstalled every few weeks.

Only downfalls have been my broken banking app (which might be the actual app being broken based on Google Play reviews) and the amount of tweaking I needed to do to get OSM as my default map for Android Auto.

I finally have a phone that actually feels like mine, not just a leased device from the manufacturer.

Ya know, I told myself when they brought Verdansk back that I wasn’t gonna spend 70 fucking dollars for BO6 just to help level up guns, and even though I was tempted I didn’t do it, even when it was on sale. Shit like this is what reminds me as to why I shouldn’t buy it. Yeah, I’ll play your game because my friends and I enjoy Verdansk, it’s a good map and is fun for us to play, but I’ll be damned if I give them any money for it.

They locked one of the meta assault rifles in a season 1 battle pass (Krig) meaning you literally cannot unlock it and have to buy a weapon bundle to use it. You can pick the gun up off the ground, but not make a loadout with it without spending money. Luckily I’ve earned several of their free CoD points from previous free versions of the battle pass to unlock a bundle for it, but I shouldn’t fucking have to do that.

I’ll just cost them money to host me on thier servers now, until they remove Verdansk again and I’m not gonna play Warzone.
