[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Moostafa29:
This! I've used them all, but in the last year or so, just Textra and the Google Messenger app. Since having the Pixel, I just use the stock app.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] rickysidhu_:
I just use Android Messages as 99% of my text conversations happen on WhatsApp.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] tekkitan:
I use Textra for regular old SMS/MMS. I use Signal just for the encryption features for people that want to use it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] PuffDaddy_d:
I had been a long time Textra user (ever since they spun off from Chomp SMS) and could never find anything better. However, I must admit that it's biggest drawback is how it handles group chats. All members of the group will have the same color text bubble and it makes it harder to know who is speaking at a glance. Google's Messages app fixes this by assigning each contact within a chat with a different text bubble color and has made a huge difference in my user experience. Plus it is stupid simple to use over-all. I've finally made the switch and I'm very satisfied.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] JoeWilcox:
I was using Textra for a while but it would suddenly get send/receive errors. So I switched back to stock.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Cowbell_Guy:
Wow, never thought this thread would become so popular!

I use textra. I find that the "system" MMS setting works best for me, am on Verizon.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] redddog:
Are there any texting apps that can play iphone text video?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] PuffDaddy_d:
I'm not sure what you mean, but if someone with an iPhone is sending a video to you through text message, then it will always be compressed because MMS has a 1mb file size limitation. It's not your app's fault. It's your friend who doesn't understand how texting works and they need to send the video using any other data based method: email, Facebook messenger, Google photos, etc...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] bill10:
Or some would say they are trying to give more options. That's what Android is all about[emoji2]
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] galaxys:
I always liked Hangouts the best before Messenger...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Namolas:
I still use Hangouts as my primary messaging app (with my Gvoice number) and stock or sometimes Textra as a backup using my mobile number.

Reason I like Hangouts so much is I can text from any of my devices, or laptop, and I never loose messages when flashing ROMs anymore.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] sublimaze:
I have used all of the apps mentioned (except Signal), and my favorite is Pulse. It has never FC'd, the dev still updates it, and it offers plenty of options. I love the delayed sending option, which lets you review before sending. No more texting the wrong person by mistake :good:

I use Pushbullet to text from PC
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Deleted member 8654383:
Good evening everyone,

I recently started a course for cyber security and pen testing, but I'm doing just the basics now and I would like to do some self-development. I have a spare Samsung Galaxy s7 Edge (SM-G935F) and I would like to turn it into pen testing device to learn how hackers access personal data. This is fully for training purposes all tests will be done on private network and VMs.

I have tried rooting the device and installing Kali Linux on the device but it got me nowhere due to the phone just crashing and I was forced to do resets multiple times. What I would like to know from you, good people:

1. Is there a specific ROM/Kernel I can install so everything would be easier to install and Root the phone itself.

2. How to properly install Rom/Kernel and root it.

3. Is it worth using a mobile device to perform penetration testing or I should stick with my laptop.

Please do understand that my knowledge about mobile devices is way lower than my pc knowledge, be considerate and try to explain everything in as much detail as you can. All help is appreciated!

Thank you and enjoy your day.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] nihal1983:
As far as i know there was no way to install linux on this device directly. What other pen testers did was use a proxy like burp suite to route all traffic through it. See the whole issue with one plus sending data was found that way. I am also a pen tester by the way. Ametuer of course but I do it as part of my job as well

Would be better to ask them to rebrand it back again to the original firmware.
[HTC Vox] pomodoro:
hi everyone. I have strange problem.

I bought in Thailand a DOPOD C500 ... same of S710.

I bought without sim card I used there with a DTAC (thai operator) sim card even i see under battery is selled by TRUE (thai operator). Worked ok while i was there ... just had some crash probelm sometimes .... every application blocked cant do nothing .. only detach battery and reboot. this happende only few times.

I back italy i changed SIM card with italian operator (TIM). Still have that problem that sometime crashed and blocked .. but the biggest problem is when i turn off mobile and then on ... he reboot after windows mobile screen appear, and continue to reboot till i detach battery ... wait some mins without battery, then turn on ...

after this mobile tunr on normally and work.

just an allert windows tell me that operator is not supported by device.

I never try with TRUE sim card ... and no able to try till i'll back to thailand.

what's the problem?

Is it a locked mobile?

is possible to unloch DOPOD too easly?

[HTC Vox] castroneves:
Upgrade from Dopod C500 to HTC S710's latest ROM

I also have the Dopod C500, and I flashed HTC S710's latest ROM on it - and it looks and feels amazing!

Software needed: Active Sync, SDA_ApplicationUnlock.zip, Vox USPL- CID BYPASS.zip, Vox-USPL-RUU.zip, and RUU_Vox_HTC_WWE_1.34.405.1_4.1.13.54_03.10.90_Ship.exe

This is what I did (please correct me anyone):

1 - SDA_ApplicationUnlock.zip - unzip and run to unlock the phone! I thought mine was unlocked, since it worked with all operators! The thing is that I found out it was locked whrn I tried to flash it!

2 - Vox USPL- CID BYPASS.zip - unzip the entire folder. From within the folder, run the uspl_116_jockyw.bat file. Follow the instructions. When it asks to copy files into your Vox, it will do that for you - you do not have to do it manually.

3 - Vox-USPL-RUU.zip -unzip the entire folder. From within the folder, run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe file

The screen will blank. DO NOT DISCONNECT THE PHONE FROM ACTIVE SYNC. Simply run the RUU_Vox_HTC_WWE_1.34.405.1_4.1.13.54_03.10.90_Ship.exe ROM file to upgrade your phone.

ADDITIONALLY, I sugest you backup ALL THE CONFIGURATION AND FILES FROM YOUR PHONE, ESPECIALLY WITH REGARDS TO GPRS (INTERNET, MMS - MMSC, etc.).

Hope it helps!

Take care,

Carlos

Boot loader unlocked??
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] krishk:
Same Issue!

i am having the same issue. But after the warning message, the phone boots up and works. But i get frequent app crashes and hangups. I have NOT Rooted my phone.I tried to flash a Stock but looks like i can't downgrade. My current version is DUK-L09C675B150(India). Some of the apps crashes and i have to restart the mobile. Cannot play games.Also, the eRecovery doesn't seem to work. Tried flashing a Stock ROM but after 8% i get " Software install failed". Factory Reset didn't work.Any ideas to fix this??
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] krishk:
So. I had a chat with customer support and they told me to take my mobile to service center. Is that the final solution for this problem??
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] hassanjavaid8181:
Looks like thats a final solution..if you have complete firmware file you can try to flash it via dload by yourself.

hello my girl has an Honor 8 pro DukL-09 after reboot (the final step after automatic update) i have this problem: "your device has failed verification and may not work properly". Help me please
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Lukke2804:
Before you send it to a service center, you should try to install a new firmware yourself with DU Phoenix if it doesnt work via dload. Its definitly cheaper than sending it to a service center.

I had the texting issue with my s7 Really bad. I had to restart my phone after sending a text... then switch between 3 different text apps. So i upgraded to the s8. Im once again having the same exact issue!

Apparently like 10% of all the S8 have this "software" issue (your phone also wont fast charge only normal charge, which is swell, on the $100 samsung fast charge wireless charger... s8's will charge just fine on the cheap fast chargers... also most of the these software challenged phones get oriental symbols showing up on randomly when they are online... not a virus...your phone is confused)

And u either have to deal with the issue... upgrade to a different phone or wait for an update to come out
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] provoko:
Not sure when at&t will push a security patch, but for me it doesn't matter because OTA updates don't work.

I'm on 7.0.1 July update, there's no sideloads for august, but google says they're working on an update for pixel/nexus that'll come out in november, so I can only speculate getting a sideload next year summer! :D

My only option is to go VPN if I want to use wifi, even in my own home. The threat is non-existent right now, but as soon as this gets out, G920a owners are ****ed.

So what are you going to do: Vpn, new phone, moving to some magical rom? Please let me know, thanks!

Update: I bought an at&t prepaid sim card because I needed a pre paid anyways, and boom I got the Nov update and protected against KRACK.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] RossTeagan:
As far as i understood Krack is an issue only if you connect through a Wi-Fi.

If you have plenty of data on your plan and you keep your Wi-Fi turned off, then you should be just fine.

Guys I hope you can help.

I purchased an android unit (I wish I could post the link of the unit but the forum will not let me) almost a year ago, it was working just fine, until a few months back when I noticed that sometimes the WiFi was not ON when I started my car, this only happened a couple of times so I didn't give it much attention until it started happening a lot like 50% of the times.

Now yesterday and part of today WiFi was OFF every time I started my car, this now a problem, I need WiFi for Waze and spotify.

I've noticed that if I turn off my car wait a few seconds and start it again the wifi might come back but it does not work 100% of the times

Hi all,

Just read an artice on the hack of Google's impressive Android mobile OS. Hackers have used files from the emulator and installed the OS on some Linux phones. I was just thinking that there was a post on this forum saying that Linux could be Installed on Magician. Also Android uses Linux's kernal. So why not give Android a try. Would be great to use the new Android on Magician.

Any clues on how to proceed with the Installation ?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] mapcuk:
Is it really? I listen about porting on only Linux-PDA but Magican isn't Linux-PDA.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Melkor:
Of course, Android can run on the Magician, BUT never forget that you need drivers for the device - even for Linux!

And that's the problem: if you don't have any information about the chipset etc you will need month or even years to develop them.

If you want to run Linux on the Magician, there is already a project which try to develop drivers for Linux. Last time I read from their progress Linux runs on the Magician with the possibility to use the phone (but no GPRS)...

Use the search if you are interested;-)
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] mapcuk:
It is http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/Magician , isn't it?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] jashsoft:
So If Linux can be installed, then Android can also be installed. Because it supports all Linux compatible devices according to the hack.

For the DRIVER part, pls check the official Android website-

http://code.google.com/android/

and let us know. Waiting for your reply...

Thanks!

linux on magician

linux kernel for the magician is still under development and we'll need it to run android

as for google's android we'll surely need to patch it to make it work on magician

the magician kernel needs more developers to progress

there still need to get full power management and gprs and remove bugs to complete that kernel

you can try the provided kernel but it will hard reset your pda

i do hope that in the future we 'll see a linux replacement for the magician
