Can you explain how? Signal is end to end encrypted and the keys aren't stored on the server. WhatsApp is made by WhatsApp and has nothing to do with Samsung, they also use the Signal/Text Secure protocol so same thing different name. No shortage of security experts regularly examine the source and I've yet to read a review from anybody in security that isn't a huge fan. I fail to see how regular ol SMS that does none of that and is just as secure. If you know something nobody else seems to please let us know, I can't be the only one that's into privacy that would want to know.

Samsung was an auto correct. As for Wahtsapp that is owned by FB and made by them and have been found over and over again to have back doors built in just like their messaging app.

Ill leave you wit this. We have some of the best in android security here on the site. Yet none of them use it and advise to stay away from everything to do with FB. Ever wonder why on XDA we have not featured the app. IF it really was that secure then we would be all over it covering it and advising its use.

True Mobile security is an illusion. IF you use a rooted device or use social media then privacy isnt really a big deal.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Davo:
Hi All,

My Windows 7 (x86) computer is not installing the MOT driver correctly, as can be seen below there is a yellow exclamation mark next to the driver.

Originally I had a Samsung driver installed in this capacity, and I removed it by right clicking the device (in Device Manager) and selecting uninstall. Later I was able to coerce the computer into accepting the Motorola Driver for the 'MOT' device.

However the Motorola driver is still presenting issues which I would now like to resolve. I really need to run RSDLite so I have not choice but to fix this issue (i.e.: I cannot boot of Linux as an alternative).

Any help with resolving this driver issue will be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Davo

Hi,

I'm looking 2buy a straemer for kodi.

I made a big research upon that question read a lot.

Found some reccommandtions such as:

* NEXBOX A95X

* BEELINK GT1

* ZIDOO X9S

* Xiaomi Mi Box (maybe wont be relevant due to lack of RJ45 Ethernet? *important

What is for your opintion is the best for around 60$? Not only from the follwing...

Thansks!

Unless you need the video features the s905X supports, stay away from it..

It's billed as "the new SoC" by the sellers but it's over-all slower than the S905 - all it has is those few video feature extras... but generally slower all around.
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] shabydog:
OK

So it better choosing a S905 device.

But which one/s??

All around XDA, with around 7 MILLION membes - not any single recommandation?

So looking at the new zoomtak Uplus I might hold off and get that when more vendors start selling it. Check it out

h t t p ://www .zoomtak.net/product-item/4k-hd-tv-box-zoomtak-amlogic-s912-uplus/

As for right now, at that price point, best bet would be a sunvell t95z. It has the newer Amlogic S912 and better mali gpu than most. It'll handle 4k no problem.
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] shabydog:

Also heard about the sunvell t95z.

Guess it supposed to be good...?

How is it compare to Beeling GT1?
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] j2ther:
Hardware wise they are identical. The launcher/ui's will be different, but is always customizable. If choosing between those two I'd say it would come down to price, accessories, and visual appeal. Since both will offer similar performance.

This may be obvious, but did you consider a Fire TV stick? They're only 40 for the basic model and they're more than powerful enough to run Kodi. if that's all you're looking to do. they can also be rooted without problem and have custom ROM's in case you want a more traditional Android feel. I've got two running Kodi without any issues. You don't even need to go for the upgraded version with the voice search remote as you can download the fire tv remote app free from the Play store on any Android device and it has voice search built in. Unless you are looking to set up a PVR with Kodi, in which case the six gig storage would be an issue.

The Xiomi Mi Box 4K seems like a no brainier at ~$70. I've had it for maybe 6 months and it's very good. Runs Kodi v17 awesome, runs RetroArch awesome for gaming emulators, plus all the usual Android TV stuff like Chromecast, Netflix, YouTube, Spotify, etc. It still runs Android 6.0.1 but hopefully it'll get Android N soon. Some of the 4K/HDR stuff isn't perfect I've heard, but have mine set to 1080p, don't have a 4K TV anyway. I'd definitely buy it again though at this price point: http://www.mi.com/en/mibox/
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] zingxao:
Struggling to love the 3T, from a camera point of view. Realise that spec wise the 3T and Pixel - standard, can't justify the extra for the XL, and I prefer the smaller package and FHD is good enough - are pretty much identical, yet the 3T appears to pull ahead in comparison vids, but the camera on the Pixel appears to be leaps and bounds better than the 3T, even surpassing the iPhone 7/Plus. Coming from a 6S I want a good camera. I've sent of a support ticket to OnePlus to return the 3T, but if the Pixel isn't worth the extra money, I'll keep a hold of the 3T.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] PsiPhiDan:
If camera is important to you, go for it. I did the same when switching from an LG V20 to this Pixel. Huge upgrade in camera! I'm very happy I made the switch.

I switch from s7 edge, i also had iphone 7, note 7 (one week), not 3T but one plus 3.. and.. well.. I think me and my pixel we both have a strong love :P no.. really.. i dont change it for anything right now.. I know the pixel isn't the most beatiful phone rght now.. is closed compared with a BLU lol.. but.. is dawn fast.. and I love it.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] MasK:
I used the S7e for about 8 months, got the OP3T for 3 weeks and now with the Pixel.

The OP3T was awesome in almost every aspect, but the cam was the main deal breaker for me. After using the S7e for a while, the OP3T was really crappy (didn't quite understand why the reviews didn't criticize it as much as they should have).

Below are some more reasons why I switched:

1) Camera

2) Ringer mode switching is weird in OxygenOS. When in vibrate mode, it switches my androidWear to DND, blocking all notification. Pure bug.

3) OP3T hanged on me a few times (no new apps I havent used before..)

4) OP3T speakerphone is soft. Great for ringtones, but not for voice/Google Now. Pixel is good all round.

5) Always wanted a smaller but powerful phone -> personal choice

Honestly, it does cost a whole lot more (x3 for me), so you really have to weigh in all your points. Took me a while, but really it was the cam that got me thinking. Besides that, OP3T is a pretty fine device.

i too,at the beginning when i got the nova plus,i immediately searched on the web fo infos about unblocking and rooting and roms but,the phone is ''yet too young'' and theres really a lack of information especially for MLA-L03...and its still the same today...

and huawei are wise enaugh to prevent wrong flashing...the updated nougat's package must match the exact numbers on your device...if theres a difference in the numbers sequence,it will fail to upgrade....

i think the best way to upgrade is....wait for the real one....It may be long to arrive but,will hopefully will have no bugs that some are experiencing with the beta that have been release elsewhere ;)

Ya it's gone in all the releases I've used to date of Nougat, I use ff to dl the firmware then install from sd via the three button update route.

Still eagerly awaiting the Huawei announced roll back app coming soon to go back to MM myself unless the final version has mirror link included. But as of yet even my lg g5 lost the capability when upgraded to 7.0 ota. Maybe it's in the 7.1.1 if we ever see that.

No app drawer on MM,only on Nougat...For the other laucher,by default,you have to set it in settings,APP/SETTINGS

im using ADW2 launcher since my phone got broken (updated via FF damnit! )

You can upgrade to Nougat but dont do it with FF firmware (or others way)

Only good way is to do it when the phone tells you theres an update (official OTA)

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DMWPhils:
My phone is a Samsung Note 3 SM-9005, currently it's stuck in an infinite bootloop even after removing the battery for an hour.

I get this message:

RECOVERY BOOTING ...

RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING

Set Warranty Bit : recovery

... along with the Samsung SM-N9005 logo, a couple of beeps/buzzes and then it repeats ad infinitum.

Here's what I did over the last day to get to this sorry state of affairs:

1. Upgraded from Android 4.3 (the original operating system) to 5.0 using the Samsung N9005XXUGBOA5 ROM with Odin 3.12. This worked fine but the phone lost root.

2. I rooted the phone again using Odin and Chainfire Auto-Root. All good so far.

3. I installed TWRP (the official TWRP App 1.5, going by my records)

4. I flashed the latest custom recovery which would have been 3.0.x and this seemed to be fine. So far no problems.

5. I then got ideas above my lowly station, apparently. I wanted to flash one of the newer ROMs: [Rom][N7 Port][12.12.2016] [Multi-DPI] Phronesis Rom N7 v4.1 Feature Rich & Smooth

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-phronesis-mm-rom-v1-0-feature-rich-t3463244

6. In the instructions, it said to use TWRP recovery version 2.8.7. I found that and flashed it. (Yes, it was for the Samsung SM N9005).

7. I rebooted into recovery mode to make a backup with that 2.8.7 version.

8. Now I'm stuck in boot loop hell with ...

RECOVERY BOOTING ...

RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING

Set Warranty Bit : recovery

... with the Samsung SM-N9005 logo, a couple of beeps/buzzes and so on (as stated above).

I've tried leaving the battery out for an extended period and this hasn't worked. The phone never gets to the stage where I can talk to it with Odin or get any kind of menu. Is the phone truly bricked now?

If so, was it a critical error to go from the 3.0.x TWRP recovery back to 2.8.7 for the purposes of this custom ROM upgrade?

If not, what can be done to regain control of the phone?

This is obviously an older phone as I've had it for about 3 years now, but I'd love to get it working again if possible. I really loved it and was planning to use it for a couple more years (hence the upgrade path I've explained above).
