My Gemini is getting to its limits
« on: August 03, 2024, 11:34:36 am »
More and more Android apps require Android 9 or even 10. So, while I still very like my Gemini, it is getting more and more useless. Evernote is no longer running, Instagram is no longer running. DB Navigator, which I need here in Germany for using the train system, is still working but can no longer be updated. It's just a matter of time that it will no longer work. The Gemini was a great device, but I will probably have to retire it soon.

Regards,
Joern

If this might help you, I have the same problem installing Instagram on my Android 10 phone, Play Store says that my phone is not compatible, but doesn't state what version of Android it requires. I have solved this by installing Instagram via Aptoide.
It would be great to have a port of the latest LineageOS release on all the 3 Planet devices, I hope someday we'll see that released.
Personally, my Gemini has not been working well since more than a year, I'm now thinking to switch to a GPD Micro PC + my current phone, although I'll dearly miss my Gemini's keyboard.
