BlueBorn is still rampant and enough is enough: g'bye M3 and thanks for all the fish

In short:
- I bought my M3 in March 2017, EU version w/ Wi-Fi and 4G; I use it out of home.
- BlueBorn is a very bad vulnerability that affects Bluetooth protocol, and VERY NASTY exploits exist; only workaround available for M3: bluetooth off. Other firms have patched their products long time ago.
- I have the latest firmware available -B303 which is still vulnerable (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.armis.blueborne_detector).
In conclusion: hardware is perfect but software prevents me to use the bluetooth functionality, so this item is to be considered broken (or better defective by design) withouth chance of repair. Flash a custom rom? No way, since unlocking the bootloader by software would affect the warranty on hardware (it was your choice, Huawei).
I called the reseller (not Huawei) to complain for this: I will send the item back soon and get a full refund.
BTW: European Union customer protection laws apply. YMMV. Reseller is responsible. Reseller may complain with Huawei (and I think it will, in my case). Sorry Brexiters.
End of story.
Goodbye Huawei and thanks for all the fish, but after four month, it stinks a lot.

I don't know if there are any hardware or firmware differences between models sold in the UK and EU, but just for anyone else's info, I just ran the same app on B303 on my UK, wifi-only version and got a clean bill of health. I'm relieved, but it's slightly surprising (to me at least) that the 4G version fails with what I assume is otherwise the same firmware release.
(Disclaimer: I'm new to Huawei devices so apologies if I'm missing something about hardware/ROM versions. I have BTV-W09C100B303 with 6th Nov Android patch level.)

Unfortunately BTV-DL09C100B303 is still vulnerable.
Just to be shure before packaging: I just started a check for new updates. Nothing found.

B352 came down on to my tablet just now! Includes the November 2017 patch level and is clear of BlueBorn.

Very good thing!

btv-w09c128b352 is the full build number.

check on another device (smartphone?) your bt-area with the app and "BTV-..." will be shown as vulnerable. so looks like not fixed.

Interesting - the scanner shows my Xiaomi mi5s as being potentially vulnerable remotely as well. It has December 2017 patch level. Running it from either device shows the local device as being OK though. Strange

Hello Everyone,
Here is your opportunity to apply for the closed beta and stay on the beading edge Oxygen OS builds :laugh:
Closed Beta program is an opportunity for us to listen to your feedback and refine or revise our product strategy based on that. It also helps us to find major bugs at an early stage and release more stable Open Beta and MP (official) builds.
You are required to sign an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) with OnePlus to be part of this program.
Apply

Eligibility
In order to be eligible, you'll have to meet below requirements:
* Use a OnePlus 6T
* Be an active member of the OnePlus Community
* Be willing to constantly communicate and provide feedback to the OnePlus team on Slack

OxygenOS Beta Program: Explained

tempted to sign up but....
1.) Don't use Slack
2.) I daily use the phone (so don't want to tinker).
Can't wait for the open betas to start rolling in!

Too bad T-Mobile users can't beta test... Although if it's a matter of a simple system flash, similar to the fastboot files used for conversion, we should be able to participate.

**** I forgot about that..lol..I signed up though..

I signed up as well, received my t6 in the mail today. Unfortunately it arrived after I got to work so I won't be playing with it until tomorrow (gotta love night shift). It's been a pretty long time since I've had a phone that could even be rooted so I'm very excited, I think my last phone I could do anything with was a galaxy s3 maybe s4 I really can't remember.

Already applied..just hoping that I should got selected..I am also beta tester for Miui Rom.So would be nice to test Oxygen is as well

Signed up! Really interested in this!

This should be fun. Haven't been active on the OnePlus forms for a minute. But it's never too late too start.

Question LoD (Linux on DeX)

I'm reading about LoD (Linux on DeX) and i wanted to use it but from what i find online it is discontinued, files don't work on android 11 and there is only the andronix with termux and bVNC or VNC or XSDL or something to play with it.
DeX works as expected, the phone delivers, i would like to know if i can have an optimized version of linux on my S21 ultra, i'd like to know that it can work and not run 2-3 commands each time to make it work.
Usage case, vscode, browsing, docker

Try Andronix, see if it helps.

As i mentioned, there are viable solutions
andronix with termux and bVNC or VNC or XSDL or something to play with it
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
the thing is, i'd like something near native, like LoD was, cause i really want to replace e.g. a chromebook.
i've got screens everyplace i go, and i also have DeX software installed, i can even work without cables.
i'd like to have LoD experience!

Then your only option is to get a phone that still has LoD active (an S9 or S10, I don't remember, that was never updated beyond Android 9).

Thank you for the suggestion, i won't trade my brand new S21 Ultra for a lesser Samsung device.. :-/

And we get somebody here on XDA to mod the LOD app to bypass the Android version.
I have used Andronix and it is okay. It's not the same. Besides getting the app off of APK mirror you can go to archive.org to download the Ubuntu from Samsung.

I already did gather all the original and forked apk, and the images.. but still haven't had the time to get my hands on my S21u, left it at the office yesterday cause i've got a f*** load of data to transfer (about 210gb) from my Oneplus 7 to it.
I'll report my findings and/or results soon.

General ColorOS 13 Launch Event in < 12 hours

In less than 12 hours OPPO will be live streaming the #ColorOS13 global online launch event. I noticed that the preview is already available on Youtube:

Guess I have to wait until December for the update!

I'd still prefer getting the official version, but was too interested in ColorOS13 to pass it off.

It will be a game changer when they start launching the official version. Though tbf, there aren't a lot of complaints other than GPay in this beta.
Did you hear about any overheating news? It doesn't seem like it this time.
Well done, ColorOS and OPPO!

There were probably security challenges in the syncing GPay in the beta version.
I have only seen one review where there was overheating but that was due to an Always-On setting.
Have you seen a stress test for ColorOS 13?

I got notification to try the ColorOS 13 beta, but when I clicked on it, it says no test version available.. that is such a dissapointing thing I was busy with life I wasn't even aware ColorOS 13 is coming, now because of that notification I want to try them so bad.. oh Oppo.. you #$#@$!

Why would you want to try a buggy software right off the start ?
I would hold at least 2-3 update versions before updating to Color 13 with A13

I just like to try new stuff, and generally impatient guy hahaha
I have been disappointed by how manufacturers put their own skin over vanilla android though..
Like Android 12 has new quick setting style, but ColorOS 12 quick setting is exactly the same as Android 11.
The funky time widget of Android 12 didn't make it to ColorOS 12 either, I had to download and use 3rd party widget for the same look.
I wish they sell Pixel in my country. I don't want to buy a phone that has no local support in case something went wrong, hence I choose Oppo, was satisfied Huawei user until they are banned to use google services.

Interesting, looks like the 256GB model gets the updates before the 512GB model every time.

How bizarre. Can't think of a single rationale for this

I have a 512gb and still received an update yesterday.

@lemonade747 You've received the 13.0.20.5 update on your 512GB without being enrolled in the beta 'trial' programme?

Oh if you are talking about that, not sure if what you mean "enrolled" here, but the system told me there is a trial update (showed a notification), and whether I want to download it, then I clicked download and installed it.

@lemonade747 OP says he got the update the normal way, no trial

That's normal for me I guess. About 2 weeks ago when everyone here got a trial update, I didn't. Then some days later, I got a stable one exactly the same as their trial update. I think depending on where you live, eventually you will receive it around 4-5 days after they released that trial update.

I am super confused. I am still running this old patch. Have not seen a single new stable or trial or beta upgrade even once. Is anyone else suffering the same problem? I have the 512GB version.

So apparently there is: PD2227C_A_13.0.19.1.W10 now and even PD2227C_A_13.0.19.2.W10
I am still running, PD2227C_A_13.0.19.0.W10
Why haven't I got even the ability to update to the latest stable? There is just nothing for me.

Yep so far that's right. I have both versions and the 512gb was always behind for about a week.

Looks like it's available for the 512GB now!
