[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] iceepyon:
Seeing as those security patches are design to patch up security exploit holes in the OS. I would believe that installing them would be make your device more secure. Of course you are free to not install them. That choice is entirely up to you. I am just throwing in my 2 cents
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] pizza_pablo:
One would think these to be true. I'm not trying to be a jerk, but you made a bold claim about security patches protecting banking apps.

I just asked if there is any data to back that up.

It's not like this would be the first time we were lied to or claims were exaggerated about security.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] gruuvin:
It's not a bold claim--it's a sensible and widely held belief, so of course 'one would think these to be true', no evidence forthcoming!

If any given security update blocks hackers from exploiting some method to get sensitive data, we are not likely to find data that some actual hackers were blocked. This is a good example of a negative that cannot be proven, and absence of evidence is not evidence of absence! In security, there are no absolutes; you take your chances. It's a well known generality that an updated system is more secure that one that is not updated.

If your banking data is on your phone, and you go read about all the latest holes, in smartphones, that can be exploited to steal your data and log into your bank, you could then go on a wild goosechase trying to determine what holes are on your phone and what patches apply and in what software versions, which is not easy! At that point it becomes apparent that it's more sensible to apply the latest updates (that's what most people do). On the other hand, if you don't look into it, you could just pretend that your phone is better than most phones and there are no security holes that need to be fixed. In that case, ignorance is bliss, right?

I have halted all my updates since summer of 2019, because I don't want to roll forward my bootloader version, for the rare chance that there might one day be a method to root the Qualcomm variant, only on an early bootloader. Although that is looking grim, and I really should keep my phone updated. The point is, I don't trust that updates are only for my benefit, since it's clear that 'security' updates from Samsung are sometimes more about keeping me from being able to own my phone than protecting my data. I am not in any denial of either.

Also, to OP, ya, this Note 9 is 'better' than the Note 10. I bought mine brand new last spring for about $600 before the Note 10 was released, and I bought it knowing that the Note 10 would be worse, which is why I did not wait for the Note 10 release. What seems interesting is the Note 10 is so not loved that the Note 9 actually went back up in price after the release of the Note 10! Way to go, Samsung!! Curved screen, non-replaceable battery, camera holes/notches, removing headphone jack, bendable screens, and just generally trying so hard to be 'cool' like Apple, is what has turned me off of their products and Samsung as a company. It's like they used to target a market of more sensible lovers of tech, but now they have changed their target market to go after all the Apple fanboys, who fall for gimmickry rather than appreciate really sensible and cutting-edge design, leaving their old market behind. I am not a big fan anymore, and I'll likely look for another brand when I am ready to upgrade.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Jammol:
Not directed to you two specifically or anything...

Those security holes are definitely legit, but the breaking in and utilization of said holes aren't being reported on for very specific reasons. Especially when it comes to major multi-billion dollar companies that manufacture smartphones. You wouldn't want to buy a smartphone from a company that has had hacks occur on a regular basis. Not to mention if that did get out, the amount of crumbling some of these companies would face.

In my field of work, we report vulnerabilities we find to companies who's products we are using. Nothing ever gets out to say that a vulnerability was found. At least not that we have seen. I know a lot of folks have distrust of companies and why they update software but one simply needs to think like a business or the creator of something that's largely used by a lot of people, to understand why security updates are important. We all definitely have our reasons for not updating, but to not update and think everything will be fine is a bad idea. It's all fun and games or conspiracy until somebody gets hacked.;)

If you aren't going to update your phone PLEASE be careful what you do with your phone and especially what sites you visit.:good:

i think the upgrade solved a load of problems i use to have with my kaiser but has given me three whole new problems:

1. receiving a ems the phone lights up but reports noting of the sms received, inbox empty. the sms/mms is working perfectly.

2. Creating an appointment in outlook on the pc for, let's say, 10am on sunday the 22nd but it shows up on the phone for 10am, saturday the 21st.

3. Everytime on sync with the pc, although the pc time is correct it sets the kaiser's time to pctime - 1 hour.

is there anyone that know how to fix this?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] elypsar:
Look in - Start > Settings > Personal tab > Sounds & Notifications > Notifications tab > Event: Messaging: New text message

Make sure your notification preferences are set.

If activesync is resetting the time on your phone, I'm not sure how to prevent this, but you can set your phone to get it's time from the tower by going to - Start > Settings > Phone > Time Zones tab, and check the only box there (Automatic change time zone and clock.).

I hope this helps :o
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] blank13:
Hi there,

I am hoping to get some advice from the experts here please.

I regularly take photos as part of my notes in Onenote. In my old Nexus Android tablet, I was able to get access to the actual photos' JPG files in the android file directory, under Pictures - Onenote.

I now have a MiPad 4 with MIUI 10.3.2, and I can no longer seem to find these photos' JPG files. I have tried looking around in the file directory, and have checked Photos, DCIM folders etc. and have hidden files shown too.

Has anyone come across this and know where they are stored please?

I have done a search online on this too and did not find anything. Thank you in advance.

[MTCD Android Head Units General] the baz:
I have 2 Dasaita head units a HA2153-V840-8. and a HA5298B-V940. I love both units but have the same problem with both of them. When using voice guidance and receiving a phone call, the voice guidance goes up in volume and makes it very difficult to have a conversation. I have searched everywhere for something to change the parameters of voice volume

during a call have have not been successful.

There is an option in the Android, settings under "navigation" that has the options "monitor GPS" with the sub options, "mixing" and "Navigation sound with phone".

The "Mixing" option goes from -8 to +8 and the "Nav sound with phone" goes from 0 to 100% in 20% steps. Not only does adjusting these parameters seem to do nothing, but when simulating a gps route for testing, the voice volume almost doubles in volume when you start a phone call. It does this on both of my Android gps car units, one running Android 8 and one running android 9.

Please help as every time I get a phone call in the car the voice guidance interrupts and make the conversation impossible .

LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit Gerrit Code Review.
