I've set up GrapheneOS on my Pixel with 2FA fingerprint + PIN unlock. No way will anyone be getting into it without my cooperation.

My only issue was less compatibility with my local emergency services, since they can't see me on a map for some reason if I call from a GOS phone.

My solution to that was a second Pixel as an emergency phone - one with the stock OS, that I'll swap sims with and take with me when hiking, stand up paddle bording and doing other activities that carry risk. This phone has no sensitive information in it. I also have a PLB for added protection.

First I’m hearing Graphene causes issues with E911 - is this a setting?

Is it E911 or an A-GPS issue?

GrapheneOS provides PSDS, SUPL (which are enabled by default IIRC) and an optional Wi-Fi based location provider, so there shouldn't be any positioning issues with E911

Thought so.

I do wonder what this guy’s on about, hope he comes back.
