As I can understand you’re waiting for the phone. The orders were shipped practically randomly because the 3rd-party-logistics system created the priorities according to the import date. In case your order has halt due to some error contact both the Brax support and the shipping company that sent you the e-mail. I got my phone in the EU within 2 weeks after I placed my order on Indiegogo in late July though the parcel was being held in every checkpoint for days.

I feel like I am in the matrix…on drugs.
Thanks for the Info. I do not have confidence in this. I think situations like this is the cause of Luddites and normies. I feel like I am locked in a Netflix marathon of watching and being part of the movie Idiocracy while Three Stooges videos are playing at the same time…on multiple screens. I promise I do not drink or take drugs. If this is the input, what the Zuck is the output?
@pizzalinux1 you are giving too much importance to things and this is detrimental both for your mental and physical health, I also do that and I’m continuously trying to correct it, in the specific case I would have just bought the cheapest new Motorola G52 and degoogle it, at the moment of the decision I gave priority to serviceability, I tried to avoid Google Pixel devices and SoCs that contain Neural Processing Units, I liked the idea of an honest project by Rob and I also wanted to avoid de-googling and probably voiding the guarantee of the device

It may be time to return to Flip phones. Does Google or Zuck feel the need to monitor poor folks? They already have most of the money. On September 3, 2025, Google was just fined $425.7 million for intentionally violating California privacy laws by continuing extract data from their phones AFTER they disabled the “web tracking” feature. The money should have gone to Rob so he could build a functional non spy phone. Two years ago Google was fined 93 million for the same reason. Does Google see these fines as a tax we all pay for them?
Even a hermit living in a cave can be tracked and this is one reason for annihilating the forests, today it is completely useless trying to be private and it’s mostly a lifestyle, beyond that your flip-phone can be tracked accurately and be spied anytime by just receiving an 1-byte command, there is an additional of thousands of cameras and normie phones around you that can give out your picture and your conversations, don’t get frenetic with privacy, I don’t even use a VPN, they are free to watch the ways I’m satisfying myself, I consider it very pitiful that a whole system is spending energy, time, equipment and human hours etc to spy on me, the 1984 can’t be stopped that way and to the extent that it will be actually realized it will be unavoidable so I have to optimise my actions so that I can have as much of a good time as possible for the finite left over of my lifespan
I understand your perspective and also share it. I also know that Garbage in can equal Garbage out. I may have numerous identities that do not relate to any other except maybe country of origin or location. Everyone needs hobby. When I receive unsolicited phone calls the caller reveals some of the information that they have which reveals a source. I learned that utility companies are also involved. Many of the callers think incorrect information because that’s all they know from their bogus/faux data. I have no debts so I can use any non living fictional fake character. One idiot called and tried to find out if I needed “solar” and I told him yes, of course and gave him the name of a shopping center I own. I do not have a telephone landline connected to my property and the area where I reside is remote and gang crime and graffitti free. The cops don’t even come out here. I grow most of my own food and have minimal expenses. My phones are usually kept in an old microwave oven when not in use or a Faraday bag just to keep them from beeping when I get near a retail store.
How many devices can you track with the BLE Radar app ?

I use a device called the Tiny Spectrum Analyzer Ultra. It can fit in the palm of your hand and includes a built in 28dBd LNA and covers RF from 100 kHz to 5.3 GHz. It also includes the ability to detect RF up to 16 GHz ( 3X multiplier) with the included collapsible whip antenna. It is a fun “toy” that has internal calibration as well as demodulation for AM and FM and has a built in moving waterfall display events in the frequency domain. I use this to set up and evaluate my WAP gear. I can visualize the “Hidden Node Problem” with WIFI devices in my environment. If you ever use Wireless cameras this concept is essential to understand. occurs when a node can communicate with a Wireless Access Point (AP), but cannot directly communicate with other nodes that are communicating with that AP. This leads to difficulties in medium access control sublayer since multiple nodes can send data packets to the AP simultaneously, which creates interference at the AP resulting in no packet getting through.
One result is that when it looks like a wireless camera is in range of a WAP it may not actually on the network ( even when the camera network light blinks). It can be intermittent connectivity depending on the environment! So that “safety” camera watching a child (nanny cam use), patient or safe may Not be recording or transmitting packets to the WAP!
