[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] theandies:
It feels fine and in fact it feels like it's just part of the phone. When I do take it off I still cannot believe how thin the Z2 really is so it gives the edge a little bulk.

The bumper has saved the phone from two drops already from about waist high onto my concrete sidewalk at home. The bumper took a little damage on the back side (also, the back side has a few nicks and scratches from putting it down on some surfaces at work) but when I took it off to see if the phone was damaged and it is perfect.

and i need help of us¡¡¡¡

TOUCHWIZ 6.0 Original firmware or Android AOSP or A rom based on another galaxy

The things that i need its:

The duration of battery

The best connection of bluetooth without bugs

Thanks !!! :good:
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redhotiron2004:
On touch wiz everything works including fingerprint. Just install duki kernel and disable dvfs through firefds xposed module to have maximum performance possible. Thats the best rom without a doubt.

I am using it right now and i get 57-58k on antutu. And battery life is almost 5hrs of Screen on time with moderate usage.

Hi,

I noticed today that I can unlock my EU S8+ using any finger in under 10 attempts. Only 3 fingerprints are registered.

The fingerprint scanner can't be that insecure surley?

Anyone else find it that easy to bypass?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dra444:
No, mine only unlocks with the fingers I have registered
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jeffyv2:

You must have duplicate fingerprints on those other fingers... which is impossible, but the only explanation for what you are describing.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Frost:
Hi.

I had the same problem. I could unlock my wifes phone 2 times but only 2 of her fingers are registered. Brand new original Samsung. This really shocked me.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheMadScientist:
I have been told...lol

That how these systems work is to convert your bodies fingerprint basically into electric energy and then a form of binary code

So if its anything like this It is actually a really insecure system in the means electrical resistance and such as it dont actually read your fingerprint pattern but just converts the ridges and valleys into a electrical signal.....

Its supposed to be more secure than short passwords but still easily circumvented...

As this is not the same type of fingerprint scanner they use to book you at the polices station which does scan the images of your print......

I may be blowin smoke but across many pages of reading this is the conclusion I have come to

This explains some of it

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] mahanddeem:
Hello guys,

I have been a long time member of this great community with many devices through the years, but due to being busy with life and work did not get to be the daily lurker around here any more :(

Sorry if this has been asked many times.

I have Verizon Fios 150/150 at home, and use Verizon wireless router around the apartment. Every wireless device I have (laptops, iPads, wife iPhone) score nice 130-150mbps on my wireless network, only my new S8+ struggles around 30-40 download and 90-100 upload. And downloading apps from Google store is a pain in the rear. On 4G LTE it flies through the downloads..

My device is stock, unrooted and on last AQG4 update.

Is this a common issue with this phone?

My last T-Mobile S5 was way faster on my same speed WiFi.

Thanks guys!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] The_Tech_Princess:
Nope! It should not be a common issue! In fact, I just ran a speed test on mine. I got 94 Mbps down and 35 up. I only have 100 Mbps service though. Are you sure you're using the AC 5 GHz band of your router? If not you may be limited for 54 Mbps.

Like most new phones op5 is basically glued together which provides some resistance to water.. so while I wouldn't worry about using the phone is light rain I still wouldn't trust it for underwater experiments. Water damage can also be tricky and start causing issues much later.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] theBIGone:
This video doesn't tell you anything. Oneplus tells you it isn't water resistant, so any potential water damage isn't covered by warranty. This experiment is the same as dropping the phone from 2 meters and having it not brake; it might happen, but it also might not. Do you want to take the risk?
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] oVeRdOsE.:
nothing new here, you can find those kind of video from all oneplus devices and almost all popular phones.

My galaxy S3 was in a hot jacuzzi all night ( about 8 hours ), and after 3 years, it still working,

I drop many electronic devices in water, and it still working, even without the ingress protection.

Make sure to not power up the device before it's completely dry (about 2 weeks)

Op5 boards are probably IP ready, but the case is not sealed. You won't have any issue, until the oxydation is becoming bad.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
The one plus is water resistant, however they didn't get it certified so people can't RMA for water damage. I think apple did something similar, the Nexus 6 is the same.

Although i wouldn't like to be the mug to test this theory.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] necosino:
That's pretty much how I'm looking at it. I won't stress if I get caught in the rain with it, but I'm not going to go swimming with it, either.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] thools60:
I can verify it's at least resistant to water. Dropped it in the sink three days ago. Got it up in about 5 seconds (it felt like 10 minutes, tho...). I quickly dried it with a hanky and then blow dried it. At first there was some glitching with the alert slider, but that went away after an hour. Now it's all good.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrWilsonxD:
Water damage can show up weeks or months later. I hope your device isn't damaged, but I would definitely keep any non ipx7 or higher device away from water. Especially submersion.
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] Mazda77:
pivotce.com informs that instructions have been published on gaining root access to a webOS TV. This is much harder than on the old phones and tablets. When this was done on legacy webOS, there was a wave of enhancements and tweaks made available to phone users from webOS Internals and other developers.

The instructions can be found on the Russian webOS forums here: webos-forums.ru/topic4650.html (English Translation via Google).

As the thread itself notes, this creates the possibility of fiddling with your TV in a way that may turn it into a large, thin brick and will almost certainly invalidate your warranty. The general user should stay well clear of this.

pivotCE published this for information only and recommend leaving investigations to those who know what they are doing or who can afford to wreck expensive television sets. We will watch to see if anything interesting emerges from this development.

I will try to look for replacement board for my TV. If it not expensive why not give a try.

Without, no way.

Okay, so for any of you interested in some development, with my TV (43UH603V) I was able to find sources for the kernel, bootloader, the kernel config, and I know what CPU model it is. So the CPU is Realtek RTD299o, there's another TV with this CPU actually running Android, and I saw Geekbench benchmarks, but no sources. If you guys with other models could download the sources from LG OpenSource, and pull the kernel configs from /proc/config.gz on your TVs, maybe we could build a list of models and their CPUs and start experimenting with Android. Of course we first need someone smarter than me to figure out a lot more of stuff. But we have some start right here.

[WebOS Software and Hacking General] NiQ1:
Still (kind of) works

LG temporarily removed the devmode app from the store. I can guess that's probably because of the root. Anyway, it's back now. Since the root does not rely on a vulnerability in the devmode app but in the core firmware then the root still works with the lastest devmode app - but probably not with the latest firmware. In other words, you can root only if you weren't stupid enough to install the latest firmware update while waiting for the devmode app to return to the store. I've just tested it with my TV (relatively old, running webOS 1.4.0) - It worked and rooted successfully. There were some issues though so I'll post my workarounds in case someone needs them. I also modified teffd's start-devmode script to launch a full sshd with root access instead of telnet (which is more secure and also allows sftp). I'll post that too later (right now I'm just too tired).

Now here's what I'm looking for - I'm now in a "now what" situation. The root allows you to sideload apps (i.e. from outside the store) without any restrictions and ssh / telnet access to the internal OS but it's not really useful without some nice apps to install. I'm looking for someone with some experience in webOS and specifically that has some way of using a PDK with this device. Porting native OpenGL apps is the ultimate target.

EDIT: Unlike the initial root, the permanent root method relies on a patch to the devmode app so it launches telnetd / sshd on startup with root permissions. It does not rely on any firmware vulnerabilities so the root may survive firmware updates as this point. I wouldn't (and won't) try that though. It will not survive updates to the devmode app so make sure you don't update it.

[WebOS Software and Hacking General] Applejackson:
Not that I'm willing to risk bricking my new OLED to do this, but would root access allow me to change the screen saver images? Just curious. It really pisses me off that LG doesn't allow this out of the box.
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] NiQ1:
In theory yes, root access gives you complete and utter control over everything.

In practice, you will have to do a lot of research to figure out how to write a screen-saver for the platform, you will probably also need to replace system files (since it does not seem that the platform has support for 3rd party screen savers at all) which means high risk of bricking. I would never suggest trying that.

Currently efforts are focused on porting applications like Kodi. The root is also a jailbreak, i.e. it allows you to bypass the LG store and manually install apps (very similar to iPhone jailbreaking). You don't have to touch system files for that so you're relatively safe.

As you said - an OLED TV is a little bit more expensive than your average 50$ embedded something. Nobody wants to brick something like that. I'd recommend n00bs not to take a risk and root. Right now there aren't any working unofficial apps yet so the average user has nothing to gain. If you're worried about the future then you can opt not to upgrade the firmware so the root will work if and when you decide to go for it. Tech savvy users may want to perform the root but even they will be very careful with what they're doing with it, especially when it comes to system files.

[WebOS Software and Hacking General] garbb:
I was able to downgrade my firmware to 04.31.20 using the instructions linked to here, however I want to mention to anyone that you should NOT ever upgrade to firmware 05.30.25 or later as it will NOT allow you to downgrade anymore. It gives an error message on the TV saying that it will not install the firmware because it is a lower version than the installed one. I tried changing the version number to a higher number in all of the files and filenames and it still did not work...so it must be reading the version number out of the FW file which is encrypted/signed...

This is mentioned in this russian post http://webos-forums.ru/post23656.html#p23656. It also says that supposedly there are some 5.40.x test firmware versions that you can upgrade to that will then allow you to downgrade again, however I have not been able to get any of these to work with my north-american TV. I always get a "update failed due to data decryption" error on the TV.

I have an OLED65B6P

FW 05.30.03 DID allow me to downgrade.

FW 05.30.25 DID NOT allow me to downgrade.
