I solved the Android Auto issues so…I did it!
I’ve just ordered a Pixel 9 Pro XL. I won’t even try the stock Android, I’ll immediately install #GrapheneOS on it since day 1 (that will be tomorrow).
With the Android 15 Private Space feature (and the GrapheneOS team made it possible to install Google Services inside it, disabling them when the space is locked), I can enable and disable that space (and Google Services) when needed and without having to change profile. This is impressive and, for me, a game changer.
I’ll try everything for some time. The battery life of my Pixel 7 without the Google services has been impressive. Today, I had a great experience with it as a main phone.
While I used it all the day, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra was idle (5 minutes of screen time). The Pixel consumes 22% of battery, the Samsung 20% - just being idle. No calls, no videos, just a bunch of notifications.
If the Pixel will have a comparable battery life to the Samsung, I’ll keep it and eventually sell the Samsung.
A huge thank you to all the people the helped me to debug all the issues (I’m not tagging them as I’m sure I’ll forget some) and to the GrapheneOS team for the great, impressive work they’re doing.

@stefano@bsd.cafe Good luck 🤞 and have fun with your GrapheneOS smartphone. Maybe if you like the OS you can make a small donation to the GrapheneOS team for their great work.
We are extremely satisfied with our mobile phones.👍@OurParadise@social.tchncs.de thanks! I will surely consider a donation.
@stefano@bsd.cafe My Pixel 7 would last almost a week without charging on GrapheneOS and limited use. The days I used it alot, the battery would last close to four days. Good to hear you found a solution. I haven’t tested the Private Space feature.
