[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] Nashan:
Hello guys I have a problem finding good web browser for my Touch dual.

I loved Opera but this one doesn't entry from my real keyboard (it enters the first letter on the key and won't let me hit twice for the second letter) and I have to use the virtual keyboard which is pretty lame when you have a touch dual.

And then I tried Netfront which I like much but this one won't open any webpage. When I enter an url it just asks me to name the file (?) and place it into a directory on my phone, and then I get a message "Cannot load page. Type: No content" and after I click "Ok" it downloads something (the page I guess) and that's it.

Any thoughts about one of these troubles ?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] Rudegar:
you dont mention what opera there are 2 versions mobile and mini later being a java app

versions also matters as the new opera mobile 9.X is pretty different from the 8.X counterpart
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] Nashan:
Sorry forgot to mention it's Opera Mobile 9.5 :p

Hi

I patched stock boot.img with magisk v20 and flash it with SP Flash Tool and it works.

Then I ported TWRP recovery and flashed on recovery partition and it works too.

Now we have TWRP and root on this watch.

The only issue is very small font size in TWRP. Maybe someone has solution for that?
[Other SmartWatches] ktl20:
I made it to work on Finow with big fonts. Now everything is clear.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] SpideRMaN-17:
Well as a matter of fact I am, they removed face recognition because it's not secure, they switched to ultrasonic fingerprint sensor because it's more secure then optical then a $2.70 silicone case destroyed years or research and development, mah.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
1. Don't let your phone out of your sight.

2. You don't have to use fingerprint security. You can disable it and use a complex password.

Not perfect solutions. Well, number 1 is, but number 2 is a work around.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] SpideRMaN-17:
Don't get me wrong, I love my note 10+ but I hate such security flaws (we payed good money for the device)

I have a note 4 (my previous phone) which is still going strong with 6hrs screen on time) but a simple 400k file installed through twrp will disable all security what ever what, and just swipe the screen to unlock it
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] mzsquared:
I'm gonna run some tests on it. I don't use silicone case or screen protection on my Note 10+(just the S-cover), but I'll try to put some stuff over the sensor to see if anything can confuse the readout when I'd use other, not the registered finger print. Things like thick/thin silicone, thin latex, soft polyethylene foil etc...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] -Ric-:
Unfortunately, we live in a world where reverse engineering, hacking and security breaching is more profitable than security development. Absolutely no piece of technology that you own is/will ever be 100% secure. Nothing is unhackable. Samsung will figure out how the case exploits the fingerprint scanner and will fix it but eventually someone will find some other exploit. It is what it is.

If you are concerned with security you should be using a password. All of these alternatives are for convenience and convenience always compromises security.

That being said, it's ridiculous that the FP reader can be foiled so easily.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] mafy31:
Yes especially for a $1100+ phone that was claimed to have the highest security ever found on an Android device when it was announced early August.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] winol:
Worried about security, SO important info, privacy concerns, sensitive/potentially embarrasing content, profitable secrets, you can keep ALL very safe if not absolutely safe using a complex password, or, you can find a very expensive encrypted device, the y DO exist, for REALLY valauble stuff not to be comprimised, all every day devices are subject to hacking, so, just do not get your device out of view, just be careful and dont loose it
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
If you're that concerned about security flaws then you would not have a custom recovery flashed on your Note 4 or have the bootloader unlocked.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] RedsonRising:
I've got a spigen screen protector, my wife couldn't get in. I have not seen any article where they said it was tested on the Note 10/10+. My understanding was that the notes fp sensor was improved. The performance has as least over the s10.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] SpideRMaN-17:
I dont have TWRP or an unlocked bootloader on my note 4 (but I followed it's development on XDA)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Gary02468:
No, it's not a binary choice between being either concerned or not concerned about security. There are tradeoffs. Suppose I discover a flaw in my home's door lock that makes the lock open whenever someone knocks on the door. You could reply, "If you are concerned with home security, you should be hiring an armed guard to stand at the door". That may indeed be more effective than even the best available lock. But it's not the right solution for most people, and it's not a good reply when someone discovers the defect in the lock.

---------- Post added at 07:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:34 AM ----------

That solution doesn't help much in the event of armed robbery. A $1,100 phone becomes a tempting target if its security can be trivially bypassed. It becomes similar to flashing a wad of $100 bills.

However, this article explains that the problem arises only when you register your fingerprint using certain third-party screen protectors. Apparently, the phone records a pattern of irregularities on the protector itself, instead of recording your fingerprint. Subsequently, anyone pressing on that screen protector will present the same recorded pattern to the sensor.

https://www.sammobile.com/news/majo...print-flaw-will-be-fixed-with-software-update

So the solution is simply to register your fingerprint without a screen protector, or using a Samsung screen protector. Once your fingerprint is properly recorded, it won't matter what protector if any is placed on the screen by an unauthorized user.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] cpufrost:
Again it's a matter of convenience, period. A complex password with a policy after five wrong attempts wipes the device is pretty standard in a "high security" scenario.

The lock analogy is rather flawed as most fortifications don't work out well because they're focusing on the lock itself instead of other weaknesses. It does little to have a single $300 Medeco bump proof cylinder securing an entryway with a window right next to the door!

And most locks are just there for peace of mind. It's quite easy to gain entry if you know what you're doing. A phone that's properly secured, OTOH, is extremely difficult and often requires a specialist that's professionally trained (and many thousands of dollars) to gain entry.

But if foiling is as easy as placing a layer of silicone over the screen, it should be immediately disabled and never trusted. 'Secured by Knox' is a joke when something this simple can sidestep it. And they're worried about techies rooting! ;)

People tend to like convenience and not worry about the vulnerabilities. That's why we have all these ways to make it easier to unlock our devices. And it's also why there's such a challenge to have beautiful edge to edge displays without resorting to punch holes, notches, crazy pop ups, etc. I'd have no problem ditching all the front facing crap for that. I'm sure most of the 'over 50 crowd' has no issue with that either. ;)

The solution is to use no screen protector, this makes sense. And that's what I do. Can't stand them. I don't like scratches either but I rarely keep a device more than a few months so they look clean when I part with 'em.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Gary02468:
Yes, and so are armed guards. But in most scenarios, too much security is as bad as too little security. It's a matter of degree.

---------- Post added at 07:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:56 AM ----------

Well, that has to be phrased carefully. Taking off the screen protector won't necessarily help if you've already registered a fingerprint with the protector on. You have to delete any such fingerprints and then re-register without the protector. And once your prints are registered, it's no longer necessary to do without the protector if you otherwise want to use one.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Gary02468:
Arguing by authority (especially the authority of unnamed hypothetical people) is unconvincing. An intelligent security policy takes account of both the costs and the benefits of different security measures, which vary greatly from one situation to another.

Because most PCs don't have fingerprint sensors. All of the banking apps on my phone allow me to access them using my fingerprint.

Again, you appeal to the authority of imaginary experts who agree with you. Here's an example of what the real ones say ("Why too much security is almost as bad as too little security"):

https://www.vigilantsoftware.co.uk/...ity-is-almost-as-bad-as-too-little-security**

Then I guess you haven't heard of most banking apps.

Yes, like replacing the fps firmware with a version that works properly (as Samsung is in the process of doing), rather than unnecessarily escalating to a much less practical security interface.

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] comp101inc:
Is anyone having serious battery drain? If so is there a fix for it!!
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] autosurgeon:
Not here...
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] chanh2018:
Full charge at 9:00pm and by 6:00am I only see 3% drop, I don't call it a drain

(no root, latest Android Q update, location on, cell data on, bluetooth and NFC off)
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] CamoGeko:
Yes there is definitely higher drain on Android 10 overall.

Currently I am on AOSiP10 and getting 3-4% idle drain and about 2-3 SOT less than on AICP Pie. My friend on Stock 10 [MENTION=4388232]ZeroInfinity[/MENTION] has noticed a higher drain than Pie as well.

I'm in the process of figuring out what is causing the higher drain.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] IronRoo:
No mine is about the same as with Pie (I haven't noticed any difference ... apart from once when I ran it right down I only got about 8hrs of sot (screen on time whereas on pie I'd get about 9 but it wasn't scientific not sure if I had the exact same settings).

Is an app showing high battery usage (Also use hamburger menu to show full system usage which incl standby)(might even be worth also looking at memory usage for each app under developer settings, if nothing stands out under battery for some reason). If very high usage suddenly maybe an app conflict with latest update. Or possibly even a crypto miner or some other malware. You can also check battery usage when booted into safe mode so no third party apps run.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] ronFenomeno:
only got around 2 to 3 hours sot after updating to Android 10
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] CamoGeko:
Custom is always better than stock on this phone.

Wait for the AOSP ROMs to arrive and you will be able to easily get double that SOT time!
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] kt-Froggy:
I did notice somewhat higher drain on A10, but not too much to worry about. My SOT on a single charge is usually about 5+ hours. Full stock, rooted. I am using WiFi Automatic to disable WiFi when the phone is inactive, so that might be helping, not sure how much...
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] CamoGeko:
On AOSiP10 there is no wild battery drain.

My device sleeps like a baby. :D

My advice? Stay off stock Android 10 if at all possible! ;)
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] kt-Froggy:
Not trying to convince anybody, but I am quite happy on stock. I used to flash custom ROMs a lot, but there is always *something* that doesn't work properly. Could be camera, audio, bluetooth, calls, sensors, whatever... So, optimized stock always seems to work better for me. Especially considering that stock on PH-1 is essentially (no pun intended :)) a clean Android, I see no reason to switch. But... To everyone their own.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] IronRoo:
something must be wrong, maybe old app dicta restored or similar?

The following is fairly normal for me with web browsing & social media (no gaming), I have background scanning set to off for both wifi & Bluetooth but do have an always on VPN as you can see (that battery drain is from other apps using the VPN, not just the VPN)
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] samep:
What optimizations are you using with Android 10?

I'm getting similar results just using Magisk modules: FDE.AI (plus liboemcrypto disabler for on-demand apps and updates).

Also, my phone was ported from Sprint to T-Mobile and I've only recently got a better grip on changing tower conditions with this APN guide from T-Mobile. I had redundant APNs that may have been slowing connection to changing conditions while in motion or changing towers. Support wasn't much help anytime I called. Vacationing in a rural area with limited and slow data had me looking for a better solution. Even better than before coming back home and surfing internet in a passenger car on the freeway. Deleting the redundant ones was key, I believe.

https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-2090
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] kt-Froggy:
Actually, same here - I am using FDE.AI as well. I also use WiFi Automatic to turn off WiFi when the phone sleeps (IMO, it was a dumb move to remove that setting from Android). I am also shutting down Internet access with NetGuard to the apps that have no business with it, and limiting or removing location access to most of the apps.

On my previous devices I had to get rid of the OEM and carrier bloat, but PH-1 is using basically a clean Android, making it much leaner...
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] samep:
I haven't tried WiFi disabling in years (Juice Defender and profile apps) but I do limit apps' access to Internet with Adguard (unlocked licensed version).

I'll give the WiFi Automatic app a try and see how that goes. I have little use for WiFi outside of those saved networks that auto connect.

Thanks for the reply and suggestion.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] ronFenomeno:
mine is just a bit weird on the battery usage. the Google play services is the highest usage on the battery but it just use running foreground for an hour. just want to clear the phone cache but it seems that it could not be cleared since my phone is not rooted
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] IronRoo:
If you are sure it's play services you can just go to apps, find it & then go to "storage & cache" and clear cache or if that doesn't work clear data. (you do not need to be rooted)

However I suspect it's more likely another app is the cause as some apps will use services like location that rely on Google play services which then shows high battryr use but it is these other apps that are actually the cause as they are requesting the service. If you can't work out which tureen on developer option and look under "running services" and "memory" watch hopefully will give you a clue.

PS. You can boot to the recovery and wipe the whole cache partition from there
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] ronFenomeno:
clearing data is the last method for me. if it is possible, i would not do it.

actually, the Google play services don't play to much, the battery just drain when the screen is on. however, i have tried to clear the cache of google play service before, it doesn't help.

there is an update today, just see whether it would improve it or not. would it be the issue of the battery indicator?

Hi Moderators and Senior Memers and all the lovely people of this forum,

I wish if we can have a glossary page at the Wiki for all the new ppl which can have some commonly used terms or Words defined. like OEM, PIE and others..

Though I am quite old to this forum now, but still i find it difficult many times to decipher a particular term used in the forum by Senior people who at times used very technical term.

if we have a glossary, we can avioid new bees posting same old queries again and again..also this way we can aware ppl here about the product they are using.

Upon looking at stock image it is obvious that the target partition is too small to accommodate the TWRP image which is 17838080 bytes. Original image is 12997536 bytes which is also evident from scatter file.

If it does not display the link is:

Now from the same scatter file it can be seen that there is a gap after recovery and before md1img.

So my question is: is there a way to extend the space available for recovery so that I can fit TWRP image in and continue?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R3xXDA:
Update here

Well so it seems there is actually no more space after all. SP Flash Tool didn't let me flash the image asking me to check if it s correct. After looking into scatter file I found this:

- partition_index: SYS2
partition_name: recovery
file_name: recovery.img
is_download: true
type: NORMAL_ROM
linear_start_addr: 0x8000
physical_start_addr: 0x8000

- partition_index: SYS3

storage: HW_STORAGE_EMMC
boundary_check: true
is_reserved: false
operation_type: INVISIBLE
is_upgradable: false
empty_boot_needed: false
reserve: 0x00

Meaning there is para partition that is not visible in flash tool. And the size for recovery partition is only 0x1000000 bytes which is 16777216 bytes. But the TWRP image is 17838080 bytes :(

Any ideas?

Hello,

I've a Mi Mix 2 for 2 years. I never had any worries.

I always plugged my phone into my computer for either file transfers or for USB connection sharing.

Since Monday, more possible. I plug in my phone, and it starts charging directly, and the notification to choose file transfer, photo, or charge only no longer appears. The computer doesn't detect it anymore as my Mi Mix 2, but an unknown device with a problem.

I have already uninstalled / updated drivers, MTP too.

I also tried on another pc, and with other cables, the problem remains the same. I'm starting to lose patience.
