In Android 14 it becomes "Extend Unlock"
But why remove it from 13? I use the BT smart unlock for a lot of things. Is there a legitimate reason for this?
God I can't wait for the shitty mandatory "waiting period" to end on my fully paid off Pixel 7 so I can root it and install a ROM I'll actually like.
From a carrier or Google? I put GrapheneOS on the day my pixel came and its financed, but through Google directly.
I bought mine outright from my carrier, but they didn't tell me there was a 90 day waiting period because they didn't want me to buy the phone at a discount then bail. I pointed out that I had been a customer of theirs for decades, and this kind of bullshit is precisely what would make me cancel and move to a new carrier.
Ah that's annoying. I would have been pissed too.
