Been using this for about a month now.

Depends on which service you're looking at.

If you use it with Facebook Messenger/WhatsApp, it's probably more secure, as it's the only way I know of to get messages without having the spyware app installed on your device.

If you use it with Signal, Beeper (Matrix) will log of a bunch of metadata that Signal will not.

I was not able to get iMessage working, and had a couple of services that I was repeatedly logged out of for reasons I can't explain.

The problem with apps like this is that they're designed to make third party services do things those parties don't want you doing. And ultimately those third parties are the ones in control. All they have to do is change 1 line of code to break your shit. And then the developer has to fix it, and it becomes this constant whackamole game, and meanwhile you're missing your notifications/messages.

Shit you were right, thanks

Because I don't want them storing recordings of my voice and I don't want/have Google shit on my phone, and I don't want to use my phone to type shit in when I have a remote in my and already.

And because the keyboard worked absolutely fine.

I thought Kodi was an app?

Honestly don't know and don't care. I'm not pairing my phone to shit. They keyboard worked fine and the only rational explanation I can come up with is that they're intentionally fucking shit up just get more of that sweet sweet data.

There really is no good TV solution...

I'm about to just buy a cheap mini PC and run all my services through the browser on Linux. This shit just continues to get more and more invasive.

E: Hijacking my own top comment: it was a bug. Restarted the device and the keyboard came back.
