Interesting view. I read a lot about firmware and software updates ruining user experience and destroying functionality, like printers will not accept compatible inc anymore, see Louis Rossmann. Smartphone cameras go bad etc. often the most important thing on the device, or the selling point, then its time to flash older firmware or custom rom. Because they want their stuff bought not used or long lasting. They install useless spyware malware in apps and system apps, and fear monger that you sould not deactivate it, or they forbid it completely. As far as i know android should be very strong, and because its linux based it has a very strong base. The question is who is the target for hackers and why. Because interesting things could be:

1. Bank and Email Passwords, (keylogger in keyboard app), for getting information about amount of money.

2. Personal data like Pictures, which could be used to blackmail.

3. Surveillance in countries with insane maniacs in power.

4. Use your device to do illegal stuff or mine bitcoins or display advertisements.

I guess with enough money you have a few options to get to your target. The best security feature is App Permissions, but very old code has well known exploits, im not sure how they can be used and how big of a danger they are, if any. Could be that there is more malware in our systems there than we expect.

Most malware victims install it themselves! No reason this has to happen. Keyloggers don't magically appear. I have more than a couple side loads but they are vetted, and firewall blocked in most cases. Zero issues.

Access all bank accounts, social media, sales apps, news, etc through Brave browser only. They should never be installed.

Never loan your phone to anyone or give unsupervised access. NEVER plug in a foreign flash drive. Keep "install unknown apps" off on all applications unless you need to install a vetted app.

This isn't rocket science. You can have the latest Android version that's fully updated but that's not near enough if you do stupid things.

No saving dumb bunnies...

If you do get tagged simple factory reset, secure accounts, reset passwords and don't repeat the mistake (ID the root cause)! You need to pay attention to the device and what's happening. I monitor the download folder (any unknown downloads get deleted without looking, same for text), SOT for any unusual power usage, firewalls and individual app data usage.

All carrier, Google, app feedback is turned off. No Google Quick Search or automated attendants. Much of Samsung and PD are however not and potential vulnerabilities. At least reduce those you can without killing functionality. I frequently poke around in settings and use other diagnostic apps to look things over.

In permissive mode, SELinux doesn't enforce its security policies, leaving your system vulnerable to potential attacks. This defeats the main purpose of SELinux, which is to enhance security.
[General Questions and Answers] handynoobinator:
PCAPdroid i use it to track which apps send data, from FDroid.

What about Pegasus? Its only a link which has to be clicked. I remember i read articles about bluetooth exploits which bring the attacker root access. Also mp4 Media can get malware installed which cannot be removed with factory reset, malware from russia.

Banking with Security Card and QR Code Scannter und Tan should be protect from the worst. If a keylogger is installed then the software you use is completely unimportant.

Yes indeed: Never loan your phone to anyone or give unsupervised access. NEVER plug in a foreign flash drive. Keep "install unknown apps" off on all applications unless you need to install a vetted app.

Thank you: In permissive mode, SELinux doesn't enforce its security policies, leaving your system vulnerable to potential attacks. This defeats the main purpose of SELinux, which is to enhance security.

I have permissive rom, but apps ask for allowance, how is it possible with permissive state of SELinux?
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Actually it's Israeli in origin I believe. Regardless I don't know about you but I'm not a high value target, not even mediocre. Other than a few good porn site and internet archive links they be fat out of luck. Reboot, reboot, etc.

In reality if you're targeted by the DOD, etc they don't have to hack your device. The tools they have can backdoor into almost all sites as well as intercept your data stream. AT&T black rooms, they've been doing it for over half a century. I suggest you stay under their radar... by not giving them reasons to pay you special attention. There's Stingray and Predator (or whatever they're using now), technology that would make your head spin. Being a no/low value target is a good thing...

Bank accounts for the not so wealth are fully insured. They'll go hungry and starve to death stealing my funds🤣

Stock Androids running on Pie or higher are relatively secure. Almost all malware is user installed and that is preventable. A locked bootloader is a very hard nut to crack.

I do side loads occasionally but using Playstore is no guarantee or excuse to drop your vigilance. At the very least review app permissions regularly and deny auto updates.

Avoid sampling apps for no good reason especially games.

Android 12 had a major hole in it when first released. It was quickly patched. No guarantee new releases are more secure without a huge lose of functionality. I still prefer Pie but like any device or firmware version I keep an eye on it. In the future more advanced tactics may be needed but for now what I'm doing serves me well and isn't time consuming.
[General Questions and Answers] handynoobinator:
Pegasus uses link per SMS. xHelper virus from russia uses mp4 file. The problem is, malware is not choosy, and its target is not to be seen. So it could or could not be, good if you are a hacker and can see for yourself.

Survaillance is an interesting topic, but only dump trumps have fear because of that. In my opinion the state should do more to protect its citicens.

Fully insured: I doupt that they will help you if it turns out you were a complete moron and did stupid stuff.

I think its a good idea to have more than one device and using only one device for the sensitive stuff, keeping it away from the internet. I guess someone aware will be more secure with a unlocked bootloader and permissive SELinux and sideloading than a kid playing with a new stock device. Also stupid apps like healthhelper from the manufacturer which cann not be desabled, i think this is not acceptable.
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Never open messages from unknown senders, delete and block.

Android 9 and higher are patched for Xhelper, not a threat.

Politics don't belong on XDA and I'm far from inept...

Any unauthorized withdraws will be fully compensated for in the USA. Up to $100k per account.

Androids can safely be used with internet access via a firewall and a good browser like Brave. The Samsung browser fares ok too.

Windows not so much so; my Dell is never online, it's still running on W7.

Unlocked bootloaders aren't as secure.

"healthhelper", no such thing on my N10+'s, regardless it can likely be package disabled.

Hello guys.

I have the Neobuds Pro 2 from Edifier and it has the LHDC-V Codec. The Realme GT 2 Pro is on the compatibility list of the official website http://lhdc-audio.org/product.php?lang=en&tb=1&cid=60 However, I can't use LHDC Codec on Realme GT 2 Pro, Android 14 and Android 13. Yes, I've tried to activate through the developer settings but to no avail. At most, LDAC works. Does anyone know what I need to do to use the LHDC-V Codec?

It appears that my OnePlus 12(NA/US) seems to be rebooting almost every night on its own? I checked the "Scheduled Power On/Off" setting and its off. Just in case, I changed it to only "Once" anyway while still being off and the phone still reboots. Ive seen people have this issue on older 1+ devices and was curious if anybody else is getting it with their 12.

It's an option that you've activated and then you've set a password.

Hi, I have xiaomi 13t pro which has got refresh rate up to 144hz. However in my phone it looks like is only up to 120 and does not go below this either. It's only 120 or 60. This is adaptive screen right so is lt should work from 1 to 144hz. Unfortunately this doesn't work on my phone like this.

Does anyone else have the same issue?
[Xiaomi 13 Pro] NOSS8:
How do you know it's 120 or 60?

I don't have this device but the display/refresh rate/default or customize option must exist.

There is option in developed option

I am uploading video as well

[Xiaomi 13 Pro] NOSS8:
Ok, but what frequencies are available?
[Xiaomi 13 Pro] x7nofate:
60,120 or adaptive up to 120

Does not go below 60 or above 120,thats the problem

[Xiaomi 13 Pro] NOSS8:
I just understood the problem, I relied on the 13 pro forum but you have a 13T pro.

Do you have a stock ROM?
[Xiaomi 13 Pro] x7nofate:
Yes, stock rom, the latest one
[Xiaomi 13 Pro] NOSS8:
Mode 144 may be activated under certain conditions.

The brightness and especially the battery charge are important parameters, have you tried with the battery charged to 100%?
[Xiaomi 13 Pro] NOSS8:
Try battery/performance mode.
[Xiaomi 13 Pro] x7nofate:
Performance mode does not engage 144hz

BTW what performance mode actually does?
[Xiaomi 13 Pro] NOSS8:
As indicated by his name:

This mode allows you to increase the performance of the phone, but it consumes more battery but it is not an overclocking just that the soc is at best this possibility.

It would be necessary to test and compare to be sure that it is not a "gadget" as Xiaomi knows how to do so well to sell these devices..
[Xiaomi 13 Pro] x7nofate:
Does it increase resolution?

Or does xiaomi run screen on the highest possible resolution all the time?
[Xiaomi 13 Pro] NOSS8:
Apparently not, according to your test, and I have never used this mode and my phone goes to the max at 120.
[Xiaomi 13 Pro] x7nofate:
apparently this script runs in adb unlock 144hz:

1- GO to developer options and enable "USB debugging" and "USB Debugging (Security settings)"

2- Connect the phone to a PC and run these commands using ADB:

settings put secure miui_refresh_rate 144

settings put secure user_refresh_rate 144

3- Done!
[Xiaomi 13 Pro] NOSS8:
Did you do it, it works and then it stays stuck on this frequency?

Again, I don't have this model.
[Xiaomi 13 Pro] x7nofate:
Not yet, here is original topic https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/s/nHURq2m0fk
[Xiaomi 13 Pro] muppetz:
Xiaomi 13T Pro hasn't LTPO screen to use continuously variate refresh rate from 1 to 144Hz depending scenes displayed on .

Like any other Amoled panel refresh rate is fixed at one or another value with some limitations imposed by battery optimisation or else , so your phone has set only 60 and 120 Hz . My Poco F5 is the same .

Maybe Xiaomi developers consider 144 Hz is no needed and/or will drain battery fast , some panel problems .... Who knows ?

Any fixed refresh rate you choose , that's it , you stuck on it but you know there are huge diferences between them regarding battery drain . There are some tutorials for rooted phones adding specific module to Magisk for benefit all refresh rate you want
[Xiaomi 13 Pro] x7nofate:
You are wrong, in aod lock screen refresh rate stay at 30hz
[Xiaomi 13 Pro] muppetz:
That's not something against I just said . AOD is something else apart discussion . AOD what time is last ? For 10 sec ?
[Xiaomi 13 Pro] x7nofate:
I just realised that in lock screen refresh rate goes down to 30hz. Nonetheless still does not go above 120hz.

120hz is not adaptive in few apps like calendar, clock refresh rate goes down to 60. In pretty much everything stay at 120 constant. It's so weird. In galaxy 24 if I am for example chrome browser and if I won't do anything refresh rate goes down and then up again when I start scrolling. Here in xiaomi is 120 hz all the time.
[Xiaomi 13 Pro] NOSS8:
By checking, 99% of Xiaomi supporting 144 Hz are Mediatek socs.

The 14 series in Qualcomm, 120 Hz.
[Xiaomi 13 Pro] x7nofate:
I have Mediatek socs
[Xiaomi 13 Pro] NOSS8:
I know, just weird that it doesn't work, the reason could be excessive battery consumption.

I just bought Samsung Tab S9 FE, and I had never used an android tablet with a stylus before this one. Is it normal that there is a slight shift in one of the directions (depending on tablet orientation) between the place of physical touch and the place where the cursor starts drawing?

Try holding the stylus more vertical, or even hold it the opposite angle and see if the offsets mirror.

You'll have to ask somebody who uses a stylus about this.

Some pens can measure the angle and presumably adjust for this.

I can only suggest that you either compensate yourself or else hold the stylus more vertically.
