[Google Pixel Watch 2] LLStarks:
I've expect the offerings to be the same as the original watch, but until then, use temp gear.
[Google Pixel Watch 2] android_dan:
I now see that Supcase is listing their case as being compatible with the pixel watch/pixel watch 2, which they weren't doing before.
[Google Pixel Watch 2] Prof. Yaffle:
Which one is this please?
[Google Pixel Watch 2] android_dan:
I see there are now quite a few reviews on Amazon saying the Spigen case for the PW fits the 2. Going to find out later today as I ordered one.
[Google Pixel Watch 2] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Thanks! Looks good. Does it slightly interfere with the watch stem? On the other hand, that might be a good thing, as I've accidentally hit it a little while trying to sleep.
[Google Pixel Watch 2] nolimit78:
Yes it does. It "shortens" it's stem because of the bulk of the case is taking some of that length. I don't typically roll it or use it... but that does seem to be a bit extra.
[Google Pixel Watch 2] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Thank you. Yeah, I only use it to turn the screen on (since I have all automatic methods of turning the screen on disabled), and to switch to the apps list.
[Google Pixel Watch 2] nolimit78:
Oh pressing it is unaffected, for me anyway
[Google Pixel Watch 2] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Also good to know. Thanks again!
[Google Pixel Watch 2] android_dan:
So it fits. The case/band is slightly less bulky than the Supcase. Not as much as I had hoped but maybe I was expecting too much.
[Google Pixel Watch 2] kondi10:
I bought few cases for our 2 PW2 and...

spigen https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BL89BP22 is not great, I mean it's okish, but it's clerarly not for PW2 at all, it fits "by accident" but the watch crown is not as movable as it should be.

for a third of a spigen price, I have found a set of 3 cases (transluscent, black and rose gold) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BL34YL3Y much better, less bulky, and crazy cheap
[Google Pixel Watch 2] LLStarks:
The shenou does appear to be anti-fingerprint after playing around with it for a bit. Much better value than the Tauri.

shenou Case for Google Pixel Watch 2 (2023 New)/ Google Pixel Watch, [6-Pack] Hard PC Shockproof Bumper Cover with Tempered Glass Screen Protector for Google Pixel Watch 2/ Pixel Watch 1 https://a.co/d/7zgAZkC
[Google Pixel Watch 2] derausgewanderte:
This my go to solution for now. EGV 6 Pack plus Ringke Slim. It says the Ringke is not compatible with PW2 but it works perfectly fine (calls work, and the crown works as well)
[Google Pixel Watch 2] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I think I'm going to try the:

FLOKINICE 3-Pack for Google Pixel Watch 2/ Pixel Watch Screen Protector, 9H Tempered Glass Waterproof Bubble Free Anti-Scratch Infinite HD Shield for Google Pixel Watch

along with the:

Ringke Slim [Anti-Yellowing Material / 2 Pack] Compatible with Pixel Watch Case for Minimalist Yet Sturdy, Solid Transparent Cover + Extra Color for Women, Men - Clear + Matte Black

We already have SuperShieldz TPU on our Watch 2s, but we like our Whitestone Dome on our P8Ps, and hopefully the Flokinice will be similar quality.
[Google Pixel Watch 2] derausgewanderte:
the reviews on the Flokinice 3-pack are mixed. Let us know how it goes. It says "currently unavailable" for me. Also, it's possible that the Ringke might interfere with the glass dome over time, like a case pushing on a phone screen protector.
[Google Pixel Watch 2] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Good points, and indeed, it now shows as currently unavailable for me, too.

I wonder if it would be any better to use Whitestone's glue with it, which we may have one or two spares of, although one would be from last year or the year before.

But of course those tubes would have too much for a watch screen since they're from the P8P/P7P/P6P, so I'd have to measure out how much comes in Flokinice's and adjust the Whitestone's to be the same, which is starting to sound complicated. :)
[Google Pixel Watch 2] derausgewanderte:
I don't think the glue makes a difference. It's all from the same source (e.g. Arkema or similar chemical companies).
[Google Pixel Watch 2] roirraW "edor" ehT:
The only reason I wondered was one of the first 1-star reviews I looked at said:

Unless it's the mixture of the glue combined with the particular tempered glass screen protector, or if the UV light needs longer than the three minutes their video said it needed.

For that matter, I wonder if the UV light is purposefully less powerful than the ones Whitestone provides to put on their Domes on the phones, because those only get turned on for a total of three minutes and forty-five seconds, so I would expect three minutes (at the same power) on a tiny watch to be more than adequate.

I know I'm speculating and analyzing the heck out of this, but another variable is the quantity of glue. It's possible they provide and use too much glue, which could also explain three minutes not being long enough.

I'll definitely let you know how things work out. It might not be delivered until the end of next week.
[Google Pixel Watch 2] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Let's see, do I go short or long with my review?

Short

: Not recommended. Impossible to get all air bubbles out because of the good seal of the 3D shaped protector to the relatively small curved round watch face. The instructions say to contact them for refund or replacement, so I'll try a replacement as long as they'll still refund if the replacement doesn't do the trick.

Long

:

By the way, I don't really recommend the SuperShieldz we each had on our PW2s from the beginning. Both of ours were slightly dinged with use (mine over the past couple weeks, hers since the 12th), but at least they absorbed any potential damage the watch face would've gotten instead. Their application and directions/stickers/tabs on the protector are kind of awkward, too.
[Google Pixel Watch 2] roirraW "edor" ehT:
@derausgewanderte, oh yeah, I forgot to mention (I'll edit again now), my wife was able to get her watch in the bracket so that it wasn't pressing against the crown constantly like it was mine, at least.

Edit:

For what it's worth, if anyone else felt like going down that road, I found a different Amazon entry for these that show in stock: https://www.amazon.com/FLOKINICE-Protector-Tempered-Waterproof-Anti-Scratch/dp/B0CKW1LV4R

I'm guessing it's for them to get a fresh start on reviews.

I couldn't find a way to contact seller for the other entry that I purchased, so I emailed them about a replacement or refund, and hopefully it doesn't take them too long to respond.
[Google Pixel Watch 2] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Update: They emailed me back in less than 24 hours. They claim they're out of stock, even though they actually still have it listed on Amazon, as I posted about above. So they're offering for me to get a refund, although I don't know what refund method they'll use, yet. Amazon gift card? I plan on asking, and they also want a picture of either the watch face with an air bubble, or of a removed screen protector. I'll update further when I get another response.
[Google Pixel Watch 2] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Another update. They have done their end of the Amazon refund process, and I can see the full refund processing on my order when I expand my transactions drop-down after "View order details".
[Google Pixel Watch 2] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I've had many posts in a row, but at least most of them are spread across some days. :)

My wife is still happy with her LOCA glue installed Watch 2 screen protector (with single tiny air bubble).

I most recently got this case with screen protector - got one of the packages that includes black and dark blue ones, and I've been very happy so far.
[Google Pixel Watch 2] CHH2:
Those look like they might come from the same factory line as the ones I got. I have to say that I really like this style where the bumper and screen cover are all in one. My old Ringke bumper for my PW1 still had me doing a double take of the screen to make sure I didn't scratch it. I'm finally settling into the fact with these that I'm probably not doing any damage to anything at any point when I hit the watch against something.

I kinda feel like this is the flipping point where the "unknown" has overtaken the "big" name and done better.

Absurdly fast ADB installer​

tl;dr: paste this into Terminal or PowerShell:

irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/malik1004x/AFADB/main/AFADB.ps1 |iex

This is a tool inspired by the 15 second ADB installer, which sadly has been abandoned by the original developer and is now severely outdated. One of the main advantages of this tool is that it downloads platform tools directly from Google servers, therefore eliminating any possibility of installing an older version. The tool is written in PowerShell and can be run from GitHub using one command.

The tool detects admin privileges and automatically installs ADB systemwide if possible. With regular user privileges, ADB will be installed into your user folder.

This tool is in beta! Please report any bugs in this thread or by using GitHub issues.

Installation guide:

Right-click on the Start (Windows logo) button.

Select Terminal or PowerShell. (Or if you'd like ADB for all users, Terminal (Admin) or PowerShell (Admin))

Paste this command:

irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/malik1004x/AFADB/main/AFADB.ps1 |iex

Push Enter and wait for a completion dialog box. The tool takes about 4-5 seconds to run on my machine, most of which is time needed to download the file.

If you'd like to see the (currently incredibly simple) source code, check out GitHub.

Nice project!

Very, very useful , mate

Thank you ! 😊
[General Questions and Answers] AlienBody:
Hi. I still have old Xperia E4 E2105 with Android 4.4.4 Kitkat and I really like this phone. I have newer phone, but still use this old phone sometimes. The battery on this old junk lasts about week :)

But since about year it become more and more unusable. More and more sites givers me :

ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID error

Today even Duckduckgo show me this error. Yesterday it was working...

Sites are still loading in Firefox 68 but it's unfortunately slower than Bromite browser (which I use)

Is there any unofficial trick, hack or something that let me update browser.

Or update this stupid certificates in Chrome / Bromite?

Or any unofficial browser version (for example: there are some browsers that still works on Windows XP)

Btw. device is rooted with tutorial on this forum.

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] AlienBody:
But I get this error on standard popular sites like: duckduckgo.com , pinterest.com, microsoft.com

(Google & Bing still working)

And there is no button to skip this message.

I found some info that it is possible to update this certificates in browser, but it was only for PC version of Chrome

So, anyone knows how to update this certificates on (rooted device) Android Chrome, and where to download them?
[General Questions and Answers] AlienBody:
So what can I do for example to open duckduckgo?

I get this error, when I click exclamation mark near urlbar I get info that:

- connecton is encrypted with TLS 1.3

- the publisher's identity has not been verified, the certificate is not trusted

- some info about DigiCert and period of validity 6.10.2023 (today) - 6.11.2024

Yesterday this site was working in Chrome.

Today it is working only on Firefox (or on new phone, or on PC)
[General Questions and Answers] AlienBody:
Ok

I'm looking for solution since about 6 months

Don't want to trash good device

I think that it should be something (file?) on user device that browser compare with server certificate

Similar situation was years ago in Windows XP and Internet Explorer 6

Solution was to update or change browser
[General Questions and Answers] AlienBody:
Ha! I just found (partial) solution

1. Download missing DigiCert certificate from https://www.digicert.com/kb/digicert-root-certificates.htm

2. in Android setting install it as user certificate

And DuckduckGo started to work in Bromite browser

But this unfortunately require screen lock be always on and shows annoying notification "Your device can be monitored"

So is it any way to install this PEM file as system certificate because device is rooted.

I have an apk for Firefox Focus v5.0, a minimalist web browser. It's size is just 4.02 MB.

Maybe you can have a try and see if it works for your Android 4.4.4 Kitkat.
[General Questions and Answers] LegendOcta:
That probably just uses system webview which is far more outdated than the latest version of Firefox (Fennec) that works on kitkat.

The OP's best bet is to use the latest version of Firefox(Fennec) / Chromium (Bromite, Kiwi) that works with updated certificates.

AFAIK on Gingerbread days you had to pull cacerts.bks from the device and add more certificates to it from your computer, but I think ICS and later had a function to add more certs without doing that, I'm not sure
[General Questions and Answers] AlienBody:
Firefox certificates working good, but version 68 incorrectly display some sites and is slow.

This certificate problem is on Bromite so I think it use system/user certificates inatead of own.

I was messing with file permissions but unsuccesful, so reverted changes.

Finally I found working way:

1. Install user certificates in settings

(This require screen lock with password to be enabled, after that screen lock can'tbe disabled)

2. Rename data/misc/keychain/cacerts_added folder to something

3. Clear user certificates in settings.

4. Now it is possible to disable screen lock

5. Rename folder to default name.

And many sites started working again :)
[General Questions and Answers] LegendOcta:
Thanks for sharing good information, hopefully would be useful for me as a guy still rocking old versions of Android :)

BTW, would you mind sharing the sites working incorrectly on FF68? So far I've not encountered any, I'm still using FF68 (Actually, Fennec 68) with NoScript on a few of my phones because I prefer it over Fenix. (Fenix is the new Firefox, Android Firefox was basically rewritten and FF68 and later versions are completely different)
[General Questions and Answers] ILikeOldStuff:
There are instructions for the general procedure at FAQ/ImportRootCert - CAcert Wiki

Since your phone is rooted you may want to follow the section "CAcert system trusted certificates". That page is old and since it was written there is one possible complication that KitKat introduced dm-verity, if your device uses it you might want to disable that (or regenerate the hashes afterward) to make your root cert changes stick.

You can add just a couple certs if the ones on your device are reasonably up to date, or if they are very old you can clear out the whole lot and replace them with a fresh set. If you clear out the lot it is best to make a backup copy beforehand in case you had any old ones that you need but are not included in the new batch, ADB can help with the backup.

If you want to replace the whole set, visit https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/ca-certificates/+/master/files/, look for the link [tgz] near the top of the page, download that. You can use 7-Zip or similar to extract the files somewhere. This set includes the DigiCert root used for duckduckgo.com (the one named "c90bc7d.0") so you won’t have to do anything special for that one if you take this option. Depending what is currently on your device, you may also want to go to https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/ca-certificates/+/master/wfa_certs/files/ and grab that *.tgz as well.

(One annoying detail about the google repository, the “txt” link at the bottom of the page seems like it should download what you see on the screen for an individual cert. But it does not work that way, the bottom link will give you useless gibberish so don’t bother using it. If you want an individual cert apart from the *.tgz bundle, you will need to manually scrape the page display into notepad to get it.)

If you need any that are not in Google's list, the format is generally to take the .pem format files, then append a text version of the same content, and the whole affair is named with the SSL subject hash, then a ".0" or later integer if there are multiple certs with the same hash (rare but can happen). More detail is in the section "Creating" of that FAQ page.

That binary junk looks like you went to the DigiCert site and grabbed the .der/.crt format rather than the .PEM format. The user trusted list can read either format (and is not fussy about the file names), but the system trusted list needs to have them in .PEM as described in the FAQ, and even more important, the file name has to be from the hash or Android won't find it.

Also, check the file owner and permissions of the old set, and be sure to do "chown" and/or "chmod" as needed to make the new certs match the old ones like @runs suggested.
[General Questions and Answers] bmmrq84:
Hey, I also stumbled upon this problem with my mocha tablet (Android KitKat 4.4.4 / MIUI 8) and created a flashable zip to update /system/etc/security/cacerts (removing old and adding new from googlesource). DownloadZIP

I have IceCatMobile 68.4.2 and Bromite 81.0.4044.83 and i think these where the last versions to support 4.4

Browsers based in WebView, like Bromite, use the system certificate truststore while others, like IceCatMobile. use their own truststore. That is why some sites opened on firefox but not on chrome. Android apps also use the system truststore.

Another BIG problem with this version of android is that it defaults on TLS 1.0 for the handshake in https, hence web servers that do not support it will fail to "speak" with our device's apps. So, even if you update the certificates in system, there are still going to be issues with some apps that use the Internet. MoreInfo

[Samsung Galaxy Watch 5] Khrozma:
Hi, for some reason my Galaxy watch 5 pro LTE (US unlocked) is unable to update from One UI 5 beta June 2023 build. I had to withdraw from the beta but it doesn't look like it can update anything at all.

I want to try flashing it with Odin first before I have to resort to Samsung fixing it themselves.

Where can I get a reputable, correct Firmware to flash my Watch with?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 5] Khrozma:
Bumping this
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 5] adfree:
I can see only "few" F Firmware(s) but no U(S)...

IMHO better try Samsung Repair "Service"...

Best Regards
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 5] Khrozma:
I was hoping to avoid Samsung at all costs because my watch was a gift and not a purchase I made. Thus no receipt.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 5] Khrozma:
bumping again
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 5] cabagekiller:
there is not a way to fix it. Samsung needs the receipt.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 5] Khrozma:
My watch was a Christmas gift I only have the packaging no receipt..
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 5] cabagekiller:
you will have to ask them for the receipt. it is literally the only way Samsung will help you. I spent a month back and forth with them and they refused stating I got it second hand due to no receipt.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 5] Khrozma:
What about their pay to repair ship in program? The receipt is lost they don't have it
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 5] cabagekiller:
They did not offer me that option. However, there is a dude on one of the threads that said he can get the firmware but you have to pay him
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 5] Khrozma:
I already paid someone but if it's not in the lz4 format I'll pay them. I want my device to work properly as it has sentimental value to me..
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 5] cabagekiller:
Did they send you the information needed?
