5G vs Peace of Mind+
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
5G
Unlock the full potential of your 5G device with this simple utility. This app allows you to open the hidden system network settings menu, where you can force your device to use "NR Only" (5G Only) mode.Most devices automatically switch between 5G, 4G, and 3G to save battery or maintain signal. However, this can be annoying if you are in an area with 5G coverage but your phone keeps dropping back to slower LTE speeds. This app helps you lock the connection to 5G.Features:- One-tap access to network settings.- Force "NR Only" to stay on 5G.- Lightweight and no ads.Important Note:Forcing "NR Only" may prevent you from making or receiving calls if your carrier does not support VoNR (Voice over New Radio) or if you are in an area without standalone 5G coverage. Use with caution and switch back to default settings if you experience connectivity issues.
Peace of Mind+
We become more conscious of our phones as our lives become increasingly connected. Would you like to disconnect, if only for a moment? Your phone will go silent and disconnect from the world: no e-mail, no status updates, no SMS and no phone calls. Choose how long you wish to disconnect (up to 12 hours). Originally developed by Kwame Corporation for Fairphone 1, Peace of Mind+ aims simply to bring this beautiful app to other devices, and for future Fairphone-owners patiently waiting to receive their phone! App works without root, but from Android 4.2+ root access is needed to switch to flight mode. Without root access the app will switch the phone to silent mode only.
