[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] canada2005:
Had my pixel 3 xl for about 3 weeks now. I pulled out my usb C to 3.5mm to plug in some headphones. I can't get them to work. I've restarted my phone multiple times, I even had a spare brand new usb C to 3.5 from when I bought my older pixel 2.

Anyone else having this problem? I'm on the newest update Nov Security patch.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] fury683:
I haven't used the dongle on my Pixel 3 XL but when I used it on my P2XL it would occasionally not do anything when plugged in. Rebooting the phone usually fixed it. If two different dongles aren't working, that seems like a phone issue. Have you checked the port to make sure there isn't any lint or dust in it?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] canada2005:
Yeah I have. Been reading the forums and it seems lots of people with Pixel 2 XL's were having this problem. I'm going to try a factory reset tonight, if that doesn't work its going in for an RMA.

Update: I flashed the Nov update again and its still not working. Going to have to contact google support. Damn.

Hi!

Is Nov update out for unlocked S9?

Planning to purchase S9 from Samsung, but trying to find out if unlocked unit really gets updates quicker than T-Mobile variant. I usually buy unlocked models, but sometimes T-Mobile updates carrier branded Galaxy phones with some specific fixes. In other words I just want to make sure that T-Mobile device and unlocked S9 will perform the same on T-Mobile network and support all features including Band 71
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Charkatak:
Any one?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] CHMultimédia:
You can buy unlocked and flash T-Mobile G960U firmware. You'll get updates faster with all the specific fixes (unlocked updates are quite slower unfortunately).
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Tel864:
The wording of your title is completely different than your question. Yes they did send out a November 1 update coupled with the Pie beta. That answers your title question but I don't have an answer for your post. Maybe the question is getting looked over because of that.

Security Is One Month Behind

I have an unmodified unlocked S9 bought from Samsung G960U1 and used on T-Mobile. I received the October security patches sent OTA in early November. In fact I seem to recall I got the September patches in early October, and the August patches in September. Which is why I now expect my security patches to be "one month behind."
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Charkatak:
Hmm, so your model is just an unlocked unit which gets updates straight from Samsung. I wonder is T-Mobile is any better... As another user suggested earlier, I could possibly flash the phone with T-Mobile firmware and get updates from the carrier(if it is better with updates)

[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] Dasin:
When u Jailbreak an iPhone and get root level access, these is a root level password such as 'alpine' for the apple, is there a default root level password for Android, if so can i change the root password so that my phone can be secure?

Being that the Android operating systems is open source, does that make it more vulnerable especially being that it is rooted?

Is there way to make your phone more secure after root, such as a application or something i can do?

Is it possible to tether over VPN connection natively, not through a application, or is there a application i can install that add a option to the phone to tether over VPN?
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] fury683:
I am not aware of a special password after rooting. Most people use Magisk root manager now, which I have never used. I have not rooted since the SuperSU days and I don't recall if it had an option to grant root access with a password or not. Magisk might.

Your phone still has a password to access it (or the fingerprint sensor). Root permissions are granted on a per app basis and you get a popup prompt every time an app requests it. You should only grant access to apps that you trust. If you grant root access to an untrusted or malicious app it can compromise your phone and do things without your knowledge because it has root level permissions (install other apps, change settings, etc).

I am unsure on the VPN question. You can setup your phone to use a VPN so I assume it would use that connection when another device is tethered to it, but I have never tried it so I am not sure.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] JAYNO20:
You can set up Magisk to use a fingerprint confirmation.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] PuffDaddy_d:
Short answer, no, rooting on Android does not work the same way as jailbreak for iPhones. As people have alluded to, magisk is used to gain root access to the device without tripping Google's safety net protocol. In the magisk app, you must manually allow any application that wants root access (similar to the prompt you get on Windows before installing a program or changing system settings).

There is also another level of security where an app can only gain root access when you use your finger print. Or you can allow root access on a per use basis, requiring manual permission each time root is required.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] Dasin:
Thank you call for the information, i plan on getting the Pixel 3XL, im sick of waiting on the Jailbreak community to get a stable Jailbreak out for IOS, every jailbreak since IOS 9 has been unstable and im just sick of it, so im going over to android, thats the first smart phone i ever had, so im going back to it.

Is there a application i can install once rooted that i can tether over VPN, like a native option through the settings, and not through a application.

Is there a application i can get that gives me the ability to run apps in the background indefinitely, not like how the battery save keeps apps from sleeping, a true way to keep application active in the background.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] PuffDaddy_d:
The battery optimizer menu let's you select which apps are ignored so they can keep running in the background. Honestly, even with it enabled, I've found most apps still do what they want.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] RootTheMachine:
I do not think it is currently possible to tether over a VPN natively (if you don't believe me, compare the results of ifconfig.co from your phone and a tethered device while a VPN is activated); that is certainly something you'd need an app for.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] Dasin:
Is it possible to get a app developer to make an app that can put a option like that in the settings on the Pixel, like a app developer that can make it natives on the operating system.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] Dasin:
So pretty much when u root your phone, its just giving (You) the user access root access to the device. If im not mistaken, and please correct me if im wrong.

Non Rooted phones are safer because (You) the user cant give apps root level access ( Giving the OS to determine what is safe and needed to give root level access)

Rooted phones are not that safe because, and not limited too. (You) the user, can give any app root level access, in that, u may give a app root level access that may mess up your phone.

Is that the basis of the security of rooted vs non rooted?

The bootloader being unlocked, how does that make your phone less secure VS its being locked

Is anyone else having problems with the audio quality over Bluetooth?

I have a pair of JBL Reflect Response headphones and a Logitech X300 speaker, and both sound AWFUL on my Huawei P Smart. The sound is stuttering, crackling and hollow, like listeting to some very cheap headphones. But when testing the same devices with a Moto G4 Plus, a Sony Xperia XA1 Plus and a Dell Laptop, both sound excellent! I don't know if it's just my phone and if it's faulty, or if it's a Huawei general problem. This only happens on bluetooth, wired headphones sound great.

Hi everyone,

I was on a Moto X play before the Xperia XZ1 and rooting it was quite easy and you didn't have any troubles with DRM keys or whatever.

So I would like to know what I need to do in case I **** up the rooting process and to not lose my DRM keys.

I have a G8343 running under build number 47.1.A.16.20.

The guides to install TWRP/Kernel/DRM-Fix is quite easy but I wonder how I can backup my DRM keys before attempting that.

I saw a guide for the Xperia XZ1 Compact but would it work with my version?

Thanks!

alright will try it. hope it works on my shamu hehe
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nixx7:
Yup it will
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktmom:
Or use Fastboot, unlock the bootloader and flash the most recent TWRP recovery Image. Then reboot to recovery and flash Magisk to gain root.

The benefit of not using an all-in-one tool is that if something goes wrong, you'll know what it was.

That said, shamu is very difficult to brick. Just don't relock the bootloader unless you know exactly what you are doing.

[Touch Cruise ROM Development] adamb78:
(sorry newbie question)

I would like to try some of these ROM's, but would like to be able to switch back to my main device ROM easily.

Is there any way to backup my ROM and make it as easy to reinstall as these new ROM's seem to be (i.e., just booting in bootloader mode or whatever and running an exe)?

I looked through the forum and there seemed to be a way to easily back it up on a memory card, but no instructions for now to restore it...and the backup program seemed to create a .bin file not an .exe file.

So is there any way to backup and restore the original ROM?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] schaggo:
No, all wrong.

You'd have to dump your ROM, which means: read it out over a wired connection onto your PC. Then you'd have to convert, pet and feed that dump to make it become a NBH file. The NBH file can then be flashed back onto your device.

No, there is no BIN files, it's either RAW or NB or NBH, while only the last one can comfortably be flashed using a ROM Updater Utility.

So yes, there is, but I don't recommend you to try, you'll fail and most probably brick your device. First read the wiki, read the forums, spend some hours per day for maybe two, three weeks reading those forums and at some point you will know yourself if your're ready or not. And I'm not joking. Once you know when you get a RAW file, where the NB files come from and what an RUU and NBH file is, then you know enough to get it done...

Sidenote: restored ROM dumps in all kind of languages can be found here in the forums. If you have a Touch Cruise, the shipped ROM is on the Xda-dev ftp server. If you got an o2 orbit 2, it depends: I could provide the original German ROM, while for UK o2 customers, I dont know, you'd have to search the forums.

BTW: it sounds very frustrating, I know. But I promise, it's worth it. Spend those two weeks and in the end they'll be well spent two weeks because its all the same with all devices. Once you know it, you know everything.

IMAGE & LETTER QUIZ is a puzzle game where you will presented with some pictures and letter, you need to guess the phrases (usually a noun and an adjective ) that are depicted on the picture and letter. Think of this question on Draw Something.

IMAGE & LETTER QUIZ has 20 levels, each with 20 questions. You will receive 5 coins for right answer.

The first levels are very simplistic. Each object on the picture would represent a word.

Sometimes you should add, remove, or change a letter from a word to form the correct phrase:

If you’re stuck, the hint button would show you the random letters of every word or solved the picture. You have limited coins, so use them wisely.

Conclusion

IMAGE & LETTER QUIZ is a challenging, addictive puzzle game. I’m very impressed with the selection of questions. The pictures are quite nicely and simple. This game is fun for wasting time. There is not IAP but you can add coins with watch video reward. This is the link of game on PLAYSTORE with name IMAGE & LETTER QUIZ

The phone warned you of this (and what would happen) when you encrypted the SD card.

Factory resetting the phone caused the phone to generate a new set of encryption keys (which is why it tells you it was encrypted on another device). As a result you won't be able to recover the data on the SD card.
