Thanks for the input, everyone! It is greatly appreciated.

My use case is that I am trying to help a young man with an intellectual disability to operate his TV. He keeps breaking his physical remote controls and whilst I try and source a new one, I am looking for a remote control app to install on my personal phone so I can at least turn the TV on for him.

I will try out KDE Connect and will also look into the Android Remote App (although no longer maintained). If this all fails, I will look into a hardware solution.

Thanks again!

Yes, the exact same was happening for me. Jerboa would crash and android would show me the notification “this app has a bug” whenever I tried to login. Now using Eternity for Lemmy and that is working smoothly.

Android Auto is the Android equivalent to Apple CarPlay. I.e., it mirrors your Android phone screen onto your car display.

Thank you! I’ll try out VLC for playing my offline music.

Yes, unfortunately I haven’t been able to find a foss alternative for Android Auto. If someone happens to know one, I am open to recommendations.

Thanks for the input!
