Apps working , or not , with Face Unlock ( UK only) - Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers

I thought that it will be a good post to try and get a full list of apps working or not with Face Unlock for UK users( no offense and hope our friends from other countries will do the same so we can build a big and better picture about this ) . Because this is a new biometric system for Google and after Samsung S10 problems ( more user fault and not Samsung) with a lot of banks reportedly deactivating the fingerprint scanner for this devices , it will be a nice idea to have a full list in one place. Interested in any bank names , Paypal and any other password protected apps working or not.

[Q] Have i been hacked ??? YES on my IPHONE , but what about my Samsung Galaxy

OK guys , bit of help please
i know all my PC (3) and New imac have been hacked ( confirmed by a variety of experts and other forums )
here are some of my files on my samsung from 4 months ago
samsung GT-S5830
andriod 2.3.6
baseband S5830TDCKT4 gets 14 hits on google
gingerbread.DCKT6 gets 28 hit on google
kernel version [email protected]#1 sorry I can’t see it clearly in the photo i took at the time ( happy to post the photo if somebody wants to see if they can read it )
As far as i know i have never upgraded the software ,because when i hit the upgrade button , it asks me to sign up to samsung account and ive never done that or have an account with samsung
here are my files today on my samsung GT-S5830
android 2.3.4
baseband S5830DDkQ5 69 hits on google
gingerbread.DDKQ5 gets 8600 hits on google
kernel version 2.6.35.7-perf-CL518855 [email protected]#1 gets 6 hits on google
P.S
In addition I have the following files/folders on my unjailbroken Iphone ( well i bought it new and had a restore done in the apple store on the 27 dec 2012, and never resynced or connected it to a computer until last month ) , i have 15 unknown files and folders on my iphone i cannot find any where on google , contacted apple but they dont know either ( but i can find one file on google from a developers website , anyway i will post all Iphone the files below )
Here are two files just so you know that yes my iPhone was hacked , also despite 3GB on my iPhone I can only back up 150mb ( happy to send plist files if anyone wants to look )
https--conf.skype.com-ios-remoteconf422-com.skype.skype.plist
https--conf.skype.com-ios-remoteconf450-com.skype.skype.plist
If you do a Google search there is only one result for the 422 file , no results for the other folders or files , I will list the rest of the iPhone files and folders at the end .
No matter if I search files/folders on my mac/PC/iPhone/Samsung / nokia I always end up at Github , pasteandshare , googlecode, or any other developers website , I also know my attackers personally , and know they develop apps for the iPhone, android , community tools bars and Facebook apps .
I also have the iPhone file when an attack was performed on my phone during a conversation , happy to post if somebody wants to look at it . Also happy to provide any files from full iPhone back up to any other files you would like me to search for , I only have the Samsung and iPhone in my possession , not the nokia , but I can get it back .
keep in mind i bought my phones brand new , and never modified them
my question is on my samsung phone when i google my version of gingerbread , i only get 28 hits on google !!! is that normal ???
on my nokia phone i have a whole lot of certificates and when i do a google search i only get 9 hits 1 link takes me to ww .dospy.com
and when i look around the site , my certificate has a laughing smiley next to it
here are the files on my nokia phone
Nokia 110 ( I think but I can confirm later if required , it is in another country but I have photos, but they are just of the screen showing the files )
I first knew something was wrong when the MMS configuration button was greyed out ( don’t ask me what button exactly as it was months ago I just know nokia don’t make buttons or option on their phone that are greyed out )
Anyway here are the certificates and any other info I have photos for ( and looking at the picture it looks like there where another 10-20 certificates )
• Class1_PCA_G2_v2.509.der 9 results on Google
• Class2_PCA_G2_v2.509.der
• Class3_PCA_G2_v2.509.der
• Class4_PCA_G2_v2.509.der
Unfortunately I can only read the beginning of the next files
Class1_PCA_G2_v2.5… after the 3 dots I don’t know
Class2_PCA_G2_v2.5… after the 3 dots I don’t know
Class2_PCA_G2_v2.5… after the 3 dots I don’t know
Under the screen streaming is as follows

Possible solutions:
1) Register for Samsung Account and upgrade the software. Security fixes may be published to your phone by Samsung.
If you are paranoid download AV software (Avast prefered in your case)
Factory reset iPhone and Nokia phone. Upgrade iOS to latest version.
2) Stop being so damn paranoid. I'm a developer and as far as i know no one can hack any phone without user permission (app wise).
Install only trusted apps (possibly only from Play Store), and read permissions for each app before you install it.
SMS messaging app will not need camera permission.

Are you serious ???
umm where do i start
I have police reports , a solicitor , meetings with the Australian Federal police , 15 files and folders on a non jailbroken Iphone , i know my attacker , i have the Skype record of the attack!!!!!!!! ( i have the iphone backup record showing the attack !!! ) , i have reports from a private detective agency , the lead forensic examiner has 25 years experience with the Australian Federal police ,however they have only verified my computers . And as I had the same 15 files and folders on my iphone before the in store reset , and despite not restoring my iphone and setting it up as a new iphone i have once again the same files and folders on my iphone .
Sorry i have had gmail . Hotmail ,Facebook , website hacked , lost $30000 and my business , over the last 12 months , i have contacted apple legal 3 times ,contacted apple developers ,paid my $100 to also develop apple applications, and sent the files to be looked at , , used oxygen software , cellebrite , os forensics , have read the book hacking and securing IOS apps by Jonathan Zdziarski and if you had a apple developers license , you would know if you develop an in house app , you can push it onto iphones with out the users permission and change all the settings and permission without any interaction from the user ,
In fact i have been in contact with all those companies who make forensic software and am offering up my iphone back ups , its full of plist hacks , changes to iTunes on my computer , folders that should not be there , and remote configuration for skype that dose not get a hit on google.
And finally it has been forensically proved my 3 computer and i mac was hacked and i have a case that will be followed in the courts in a few months , and as its very expensive i am trying to see if my other phones were compromised
So my question still remains ,
as a side note how often dose somebody here get 1 , 4, 7, 13 hits on google ????? iphone , imac , windows pc , when i look at certain files i get it a lot !!! out of intrest when was the last time anybody here got less than 10 hits on Google ?????
there are 775,000 apps in the iTunes store , and many more for jailbroken iphones
there are more than 56 million iphones sold why am i the only one with my files and folders ( well i know why , same reason my 3 pc and imac got done ) , but im asking about my Nokia and Samsung
and yes if i end up on a site called ___.dospy.com and there is a laughing smiley next to my certificate well ummmm , all things considered ( like 3 pc , imac , iphone and $30000, 12 months ) yer , not paranoid , just on a mission
You trying to tell me nobody here hacks phones ???
ask me for iphone files , only too happy to supply them and if your an apple developer , great , tell me who made them , what they do , read the plist files and tell me what they are configured for , cause nobody else has
even happy to pay some one to look

I was refeering to Android apps. Android apps require user to verify.
No problem.
I don't develop iOS apps. I develop Android apps.

Thank you so much for replying , yes your not far wrong ,i have heard the occasional story where a few in america have had to change their names and move states , however my hacking is personal and they have not Actually stolen a dollar , but sure as hell could have , but they know full well that would automatically involve law enforcement , because when no cash goes missing , its a dam effort to get the law involved, but after 12 months , yer ive got some help finaly .
And now you a better understanding of my situation , may i ask one more question in relation to the Samsung. I then i will leave the subject alone as i already have enough proof that will stand up in court .
I was staying at a hotel when my laptop was hacked via wifi , and stupidly i connected my Samsung to the hotel wifi , and lets just treat it as a theoretical question , could you hack a Samsung via wifi and change the android version , baseband and gingerbread version , I ask because i bought the phone new in the box with the wrapper on at 5pm , at 4 am the following day i saw all the memory was full ( no sd card installed ) and so i went back to the shop , paid $5 for them to open another Samsung in the wrapper and it had different versions of everything , checked another already opened in his shop and it also was not the same as mine , went to the shop next door , Paid $4 to open another new in the box and it wasn't the same as mine . and again when i Googled the shops version of the settings the results in Google were in 100,000 ,or least in 10,000 range , but like most my **** i was back to my usual 10-90 hits on Google for some of my settings. And i wont tell you the rest of my story as i have been laughed off hacking sites before.
So just in theory would that be possible ?
Thanks in advance for any and all replies

to my knowledge, the way android is built you have to install or give access to an app in order for anything to happen
also most apps are designed to run with its own specific user so that only this app's user will have access to the apps files
in order to gain access to other files or folders, this sort of access needs to be granted (in most cases via SuperUser)
so if you got hacked chances are it's because you allowed/granted access to the hacker on your samsung phone
Thanks , again
Cool , yes i was not refering to any apps as i never added any , was just talking about the version of android , baseband ect , any way i have so many other areas to concentrate on , lets just say my Samsung came from a different shipment or something , thanks for your time .
Best response i have had from any hacking website when seeking advice. :good:

Chances are low that they could remotely update any firmware.
Go to www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/ and choose your model, and carrier. (Note: model MUST be written complete because there are various versions of Galaxy Ace.

Does Fun touch OS have a feature similar to Huawei's fingerprint based multi user

Hi,
I've never had a vivo phone before and I'm considering trying it out coming from a Huawei Mate 20 pro. One feature that I liked the most from my current phone is the fingerprint based users where you can setup one user per fingerprint. This is useful to have that allows me to have a work account completely separate from a personal account just by registering 2 different fingerprints. Depending on which fingerprint I use, it will open the account that is registered to it.
Does vivo phones have the same feature?
Hi there,
As far as I know Vivo's implementations of Android don't have this. :/
Just as a side note - MIUI has this also. Very nice feature indeed.

Password protected apps

hello
i own atm a xiaomi note 10 pro (also called cc9 pro) , quite like it, amazed by photo quality and also by all these functionalities it offer like second space.
with this phoen i can protect access to certain apps with another password or schema or face recognition, i was wondering if sony had this too, if it was an android 10 functionality or just dev by xiaomi.
thxx for your help
No, it doesn't. Coming from a Huawei phone I miss many things, no protecting apps with a fingerprint, no face unlock, no virus scanner, no compass, No vault, etc. It's pretty much bare Android.

Question Has anyone been able to change CSC code to enable native call recording on A33?

I just purchased this samsung phone after ages (been using xiaomi and other phones) but unfortunately it does not offer call recording in my country. Can anyone please share if they were able to change the CSC code to one with working call recording (indian csc maybe I have seen some indian youtubers mentioning how to enable call recording) .....also please guide me how exactly do you change the csc code on this phone any tutorial would be very helpful thanks.
Quick Update: I was able to enable call recording by changing my CSC through sam fw tool there is a catch tho, as soon as I change my csc to anything non-native the galaxy store starts spamming "get recommended apps from your provider" ads after every few minutes and there is no way to block notifications from galaxy store (the option to disable notifications is greyed out) so I had to revert back.
How about completely disabling the galaxy store then?
Do some people actually use that bloatware for real? That was like the first thing I debloated
Here you can read how I enabled native call recording feature on my Samsung device
Should work on most modern day Samsung devices out there
Enjoy

Galaxy Store is required because samsung apps (camera,themes,keyboard,cloud backup etc) are not available in play store they update via galaxy store disabling galaxy store would make sense only on a custom rom which unfortunately isnt available for my device A33 and I am not rooted either. I came back to samsung after many years on ios, miui and other UI and I am baffled by how polished One UI has become I can never go back to MIUI (it was a torture with all its bugs that never get fixed) or any other User interface.....I can literally customize anything from icons,font, system wide theming to even the statusbar icons (using good lock app) back in the days we had to use xposed modules to modify statusbar icons. Lack of native call recording is my only gripe with ONE UI at the moment.
Hi my default region is dubai. For call recording option i changed my fw to indian fw. Actually i got the call recording option. Similarly im having good battery life better than before. Only catch was samsung pay replace for Samsung pay mini. I think its better to switch full fw than only cse
So is it possible to change csc in a33 using samfw? to enable call recording?
Yes,
Have you not read the other posts?
I was due a replacement phone - so I decided on the A33 5G (sim free, untouched by any network provider)
.
Bought it direct from the Samsung Store online, paid £319.99 - £10 cheaper than most other stores online, i didnt want a contract, didnt want finance, just went hassle free and paid for it outright and it was direct from manufacturer.
I would usually require the most powerfull device available with the most freedom. and least restrictions, lets say a feature packed, flagship for a power user.
Well... my needs have changed and wow, for a mid entry device - the A33 is awesome.
BUT NO Native call recording in the UK.
-----------------------------------------------
I am 100% capable and confident with reprogramming the device if needed, I was a phone technician back in the day, the Beginning of Android changed the game for me and killed any future progression in my career.
Anyhow, can anyone advise - what other features are restriction by laws, location etc etc.
Is there any tools that can scan the firmware, or list all CSCs with their geolocated features etc.
kind regards,
Dan

Hello world!

Hello,
Registered some time ago, but recently starting lurking and viewing information on this forum. As you guys created a special forum for introductions I decided it would be nice to create a small and brief introduction.
I am an all-time iPhone user looking to expand his horizon and see what's possible on Android. I've never really interacted with it but because of my interest with phones and IT I would love to get started! I didn't buy a phone yet, but I am looking to do so in about 1-2 weeks. It will be a midrange smartphone (budget ~€500) so if you have any recommendations I would love to hear them. I have my eyes on a Samsung Galaxy S21 or S22. That or the newly introduced Sony Experia 10 V.
Hope to learn and share a lot in the future. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask!
Cheers!
First thing is some countries have strict lockout functions on their devices. So i would check to see if that applies to limits you may or not have available . IPhone is verry limited to the user and not for someone trying to write or execute code .Though you can install a terminal emulator on iphone , but it wont allow you to do much except view limited lists of whats stored in the device . Execute command higher functions and access to system files are not allowed . Android phones provide alot of options when you want to customize. in 2023 google has been putting limits on what they allow to install from play store. Programs that use SU have been restricted to features and may require going 3rd party to download. Be shure to research everything about the 3rd party before downloading because it's at your own risk .I would strongly recommend getting ProtWal firewall. It helps control alot of app running amuck online that can leak information , drain battery , and slow browsing experience .You need to understand alot about the system apk. and what you install to determine what to , and not block from wifi or data access. Some are providing security and shouldn't be blocked .Next is getting a good anti-virus software like Avast and use the app locker to prevent unauthorized access .If you getting a phone in Android 13 you have a ton of settings and research to do on how to set up you device settings security and what bloatware you wish to disable .It took me a few weeks to discover all the things that can or not be done .If you buy a phone through you mobile carrier it may have some features locked that you can't change unless you paid the device off and services to get an IMIE unlock code to gain access to any carriers you want . Samsung and Google also took alot of liberties with their new devices by forcing updates regardless of the user wishes to accept or not .So if your going into use with SU programming you may want to buy a phone online that has been rooted and unlocked from any carrier again check for trusted sources before buying .One phone thats pretty reasonable priced and waterproof is the s20 fe 5g .It has a hudge amount of memory and supports Micro SD cards decent camera display and nice size screen for viewing. Still it can fit into a pocket .Otter case also provides excellent protection against dropping and never had one break yet ...Hope this helps ...Happy hunting
