As my phone (Pixel 3) no longer receives security updates, I'm wondering if there are any security apps that could serve the same function. My parents both have Pixel 3a, and I'm hoping to not have to replace their phones in a few months also. I hate to consider it, but I'm thinking about moving to iOS, possibly the new SE rumored to be coming out in the next few months.

Any recommendations for android apps that could provide sufficient protection? I'm willing to pay for one that keeps me from having to change phones just to be secure.
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
Correct. Google's support for Pixel 3 phones only was given until end of 2021.
[General Questions and Answers] jlmoon:
Yes, just wondering if there's an app that could provide a similar level of protection
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Not really. If you're on Android 9 or higher you're reasonably secure if you don't do stupid things.

You can scan with Malwarebytes (free).

You can scan suspect files, apps and such with online Virustotal.

Be careful what you install and download. Use Brave browser. If on Android 9 use Karma Firewall. Know the vulnerabilities of your current system and adjust accordingly. Avoid using wifi especially if you have a good data plan. Turn off bluetooth when not using.

The Note 10+ I'm using has been running on 9 for over 2 years. It's current load will be 2yo in June.

Security is not an issue. Over 1 5 years ago I had one malware jpeg that caused minor damage in the download folder, my bad I downloaded it, it was successful deleted. Had one trojan preloader that slipped by the Samsung browser in spite of setting, spotted by Malwarebytes, it died before it got its payload🤭

Check download folder daily, delete anything you didn't download. Open jpegs you did download and take action if unusual behavior occurs as a result. Vet everything before moving it out of the download folder. If you stumble into a bad website try to back out without clicking anything other than nav buttons. Close the tab otherwise and/or browser.

If unusual browser continues clear its cache or if you must data.

Zero tolerance for any malware; if you can't erratic it and repair the damage in 2 hours, factory reset. Reset Google account password afterwards.

Always redundantly backup all critical data to at least 2 hdds that are physically and electronically isolated from each other and the PC.

Use this settings mod to globally block ads and some known bad websites:

[General Questions and Answers] jlmoon:
Thank you for the detailed recommendations, but I can guarantee my parents won't be up for that much work. I wish I had a better feeling for how much of a big deal this is - some of the articles I've read make it sound like the end of the world.
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Not good. If they don't have a certain level of wherewithal and interest eventually something nefarious from that phone will reach out and touch them. Updates may help but don't eliminate the threats.

I've run unpatched Android OS's for years with very few issues. However there are things I do to mitigate the risk both in setup and while using.

Literally the first word I said as a baby was "No!".

Turned out to be a really useful word to this day... don't be easy.

HI

Has anyone updated Magisk to 24.1 that is now available but I found this

Thank you

Hey no problems for me here with 24.1. I am using the project elixir ROM.

Can anyone provide a patched boot image with magisk 24.1? So I can boot and downgrade and get my phone working like it used to again..

I installed the magisk update from the app, it failed. I didn't bother with it, but it got sluggish after a few days, so I rebooted. It never came back .. stuck on boot loop.

Can't install any zipfiles from twrp. However I can flash images.

[Redmi Note 10 Pro] RozBujnik:
RESTRICT DATA USAGE does not hold on non-rooted stock Redmi Note 10 Pro / Global Miui 12.5.6.

So I go to Restrict Data Usage for a particular app, and uncheck Mobile Data, and hit OK. Few days later I find the Restrict Mobile Data reset itself and shows a checkmark again. This only happens to Mobile Data, never to disabled Wifi. Happens to stock apps, Miui apps, google apps, and consumer apps, but never all at once, only few at a time reset themselves.

Why is this happening?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] cyber.wise:
hi

I used MSM 4.0 to revert the phone from Custom-ROM to stock OOS. Now the phone does not turn on at all. MSM won't write ROM. Firehos gives error. The device is waiting. Then this error occurs. Moreover, the message always arrives at 17 seconds.

I disconnected the phone from the computer. I hold down the volume down and power button. There is no reaction. I try the volume up and power button. There is no reaction. I also try the power button along with the volume down and power button. Again no response.

The phone does not turn on at all. I tried to write ROM with MSM 10 times. It is not happening.

What should I do? Please help. There is no image on the screen of the device. EDL mode appears to be active when connected to the computer. But nothing can be written to the device. from the computer

I tried the original cable. I connected from type-c. It did not happen. Problem not solved.

I also tried Baseus Type-C to Type-C cable. It did not happen.

I tried with Ugreen Type-A to Type-C cable. I've also tried USB 2.0 and 3.0 connections. It did not happen.

I tried with India ROM. It did not happen.

Please show me a solution.

Try plugging your device to power outlet and wait for 1-2 minutes and see if it's turning on.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheKnux:
Use the Indian 11.2.4.4 MSM (if you have a Pro). I have the T-mobile variant and instead of using the T-Mobile MSM, Indian with "use lite firehose" and "Target" changed to India.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] cyber.wise:
Phone connects and disconnects every 10 seconds. The full MSM Tool will start writing the file, the phone is disconnected.

I uninstalled the driver. I reinstalled. I installed it manually. I fully charged the phone. Charge is full. But I still can't solve it. I tried it in India. The same happened in the Hindi version.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] jruizdesign:
In your device manager does it show the device with the correct drivers in the ports section of device manager?

This was a major problem for me when I started using msm.

Mainly the fact that the drivers are unsigned so even if you bypass that and install them you when you go to use them if the bypass doesn't persist then the drivers won't be usable.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Shooter7889:
Click the box to use "lite firehose" then soon as u plug it in click enum til it says connected then click start. Doing this the msm tool for "your device" will work
[OnePlus 9 Pro] cyber.wise:
what is an enum sir?

It is the button to the right of the "start" button. As far as I have always understood it helps the "connected to device" to appear more easily and quicker. It seems to help detect device
[OnePlus 9 Pro] cyber.wise:
operation failed. Unfortunately it doesn't.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] ptr21:
OP 9Pro doesnt stay in EDL mode, only few seconds.

You have to start MSM tools and hit start before you enter EDL mode.

With MSM tools ready, waiting, you have to hold both volume up and down. Connect usb cable and still hold both buttons. It takes about 5-6 seconds to hold till the phone appears on MSM tools, flashing.

Also try different USB ports on computer, maybe uninstall drivers and start from scratch.

So I suppose I don't use this software correctly. Could someone can explain me how I must the soft?

I've tried to remap the VolumeUp key by selecting "Handle by AEBPlus" "Single Press" "Volume Up". Is it the correct way to use this key in gfDoom?

I have installed two phones correctly before. I am working on a third phone. The steps I have followed for the other two appear to be working on the third phone but when I reboot the phone, the recovery image didn't install correctly for both LineageOS or DivestOS. It simply boots into the fastboot menu I saw during step3.bat . I attached the instruction I was following. Before following these instructions, I rolled it back to a compatible OS for these instructions using download mode. It worked on the other two h910s but not this h910 for some reason. Does anyone how to figure out why it is not working?

Hello everyone. I moved from oneplus 6t to xiaomi mi 11 ultra not that long ago, so I'm kinda lost in some things.

I got mi 11 ultra Chinese version 3 weeks ago, everything was working fine. Then I updated my phone to miui 13 and everything was working fine as well, but then never update got out and I updated to miui 13.0.9 and after that seems like my rear display stopped working.

Like I get notifications on it, when I'm charging phone or someone calls me also working. The only one thing that doesn't work is when I'm trying to wake up rear display to show the time is not working at all. I went trouh some settings but nothing seems to work. Any help would be appreciated.

Mine has also stopped completely however I think it's after I installed the mirroring app. I read somewhere to clear the cache in recovery mode but everything is in Chinese so I don't know if that would fix the issue. Did OP ever get his to work again?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] chrissss91:
On my side I've noticed that RearDisplay seems broken after launching an app "Optimized" by "Game Turbo".

Even if setup seems good in RearDisplay App, I have to deactivate/reactivate each option to make it work again ... until next launch of "Optimized" by "Game Turbo" app 😒.

I've found a workaround, I use Tasker to launch a commands after each time screen is off 😋. 1st command disable subscreen by modifying system variables and 2nd command re-enable subscreen (by modifying system variables again). It seems brutal to do it each time screen goes off but no rear display works as intended.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greyalps:
I have one Rom installed on my phone and it's already not the original one. I want to install the latetest version of a different one (from Ressurraction to CrDroid). I know how to do it and I know that I will have to format everything.

I don't have google drive or any google services installed. I do have access to a computer where I could just push and pull things with adb.

All my apps are form F-Droid, except for a few that I've manually downloaded, such as WhatsApp.

So, I have a few questions:

1. How do I fully backup WhatsApp so that I can restore it again, after formatting everything? When I follow WhatsApp instructions it just doesn't work: I receive a message that the backup could not be restored. Is there a way to make sure it would work? Maybe even backing up everything with another program?

2. Is there a way to back up all other APPs and data and everything installed and restore it in the new Android release? I've tried to manually use adb push/pull but it doesn't work.

Thanks in advance

For instance, under GNU/Linux you can generate an archive of your /home/user directory and extract it in your new computer and ALL your data from all installed apps will be restored just fine. You might need to reinstall all apps again, but the data will be there!

How to do something like that on Android?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMX3370:
You give me the impression that you have Magisk

Simply use Migrate app to backup all applications , contacts , call logs and messages , this should be enough if you are only installing new ROM

But if you are wiping the whole internal storage ethen

Also manually copy The WhatsApp , DCIM,Document ,Download,Pictures and other important folder to your PC via MTP and restore them

Hello all,

I've been hunting but haven't found this yet. Is there any kind of antenna that plugs into the HTC mini-port but let's you listen to the FM radio through the phone speaker instead of headphones?

TIA.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] NickFritz:
That would be handy as I'd like to listen to the radio via my bluetooth headphones :(
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] GroinsNZ:
I also wanted to listen to radio on Bluetooth headphones so I ended up getting a D-Clip Radio. It works great too and I reckon the radio reception on this device is much better than that of the Touch Pro. You can also use any headset of your choosing as long as it has a standard 3.5mm audio jack.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] taninu:
Likewise I was looking for a device to plug into the MiniUSB port (without messy cords) and use my bluetooth to listen to the radio. I have seen such a device for i-phone which plugs into i-phone and enable radio listening.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] auxaux:
You can actually choose output from the radio software. Needs the antenna but might solve your problem
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] eb3604:
i was under the impression that it had fm radio capability. Just sprint 86'd it because it competes with sprint radio?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] sonhy:
whats wrong with pluggin in a usb11 to 3.5mm adapter and switching on speaker phone?

[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] jcaudill:
Wow - so this pleases the HTC software and suffices for an FM antenna?

Thanks!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] TweakMyDevice:
I'd also like to know if that plug works. Could you cut the wire off just past the mini-usb plug and it still serve as an antenna? I'm looking for something very small to plug in the bottom with no wires.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] mzshortay:
I was thinking the same thing :D

Maybe I'll try with an old broken cable..
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] TweakMyDevice:
I went to radioshack the other day and tried to do this with a motorola adapter cable like the one pictured above. When I started the Fmradio software I still got the message to plug in a headset. So there must be something in the miniusb plug or in-line with the headset that tells the Fuze it has an antenna.

Or perhaps the pinout was just wrong with the motorola adapter. I'm thinking someone could make a tiny miniusb plug that when installed would be flush, or almost flush, with the bottom of the Fuze. Maybe some type of resistor would need to be in the small plug to trick the phone into thinking a wired headset is plugged in?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] Michael95GT:
I'm pretty sure the phone needs at least some wire to act as an antenna. It's not the headset that is required or there wouldn't be the option to listen via the loudspeaker.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] allthatinny:
what i use to get my fm radio is the dongle that came with my phone and its offical from HTC, works great to, i just plug it in, and plug in my regular ipod headphone and it works, the bad about it is, this dongle is so dam big
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] SH4YD33:
Yea.. it works with the dongle and regular headphones, but that only solves the problem of not having USB headphones..
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] rmanaka:
I use a USB to 3.5mm adapter

I got my adapter at a Palm store in ATL airport, but Seidio makes different adapters. Once I plug in a standard headset it works great. You can try http://www.seidioonline.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=2940 but many other vendors sell this item (try ebay).
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] tin2001:
Yep. Though that doesn't mean you can't make a flush plug in antenna... Just would need to be a small plate with the antenna printed onto it. Perhaps with the edges moulded up around the sides a little to keep it from snapping the connector.

Only trouble is the market would be too small for commercially making it, and good like DIYing something like that.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] igsciurus:
It is a good idea for DIY. Keep in mind that the reception quality depends on the material the "antenna" is made of. I get mediocre reception with some thinly-wired, cheap little earbuds. However, I get GREAT reception when I plug in the audio out line (which is nice and thick) to my computer speakers!

:cool:
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] Jerommeke:
I bought a 3.5mm Extusb adapter for my Raphael on ebay. It acts like an antenna, but the signal isn't quite that well.

So I guess you need a cable or something to get enough signal for good radioreception.
