I updated my #Samsung Galaxy A51 last night, & I'm incredibly surprised that I haven't yet noted anything they broke. #Android In conversation from libranet.de permalink -

#Samsung, among others, has leaked their #Android app-signing keys.
> Guess what has happened! Łukasz Siewierski, a member of Google's Android Security Team, has a post on the Android Partner Vulnerability Initiative (AVPI) issue tracker detailing leaked platform certificate keys that are actively being used to sign malware. The post is just a list of the keys, but running each one through APKMirror or Google's VirusTotal site will put names to some of the compromised keys: Samsung, LG, and Mediatek are the heavy hitters on the list of leaked keys, along with some smaller OEMs like Revoview and Szroco, which makes Walmart's Onn tablets.
...
> What OEMs really need to do is stop using the compromised keys to secure their apps. It's not clear why Samsung continues to use the key. Android's APK Signature Scheme V3 allows developers to change app keys with just an update—you authenticate an app with the new and old key and indicate that only the new key is supported for updates. This is a requirement for Play Store apps, but again, system apps from OEMs are not subject to any of the Play Store rules, so some OEMs are still using the old v2 signature scheme.
> Thankfully, these leaked keys are only for apps and not the keys used to sign OS updates. So even if the v3 signature scheme is not in use, theoretically the affected companies could ship a still-secure OTA update that includes new system apps with new keys, and they could make new corresponding Play Store updates that are compatible with those new keys. That sounds like a lot of work, though.In conversation from Choqok permalink Attachments

Ein kurzer Hinweis an alle Leute, die ältere Smartphones von #Samsung verwenden - schaut mal lieber nach, ob sich der Akku aufgebläht hat. Dies scheint bei dieser Marke bevorzugt zu passieren.

I don't think that keeping your "wallet" on an always-connected device is a good idea. Now if they made it easier for you to connect and then disconnect a hardware wallet when you desire to transact, that would be good. But this is dangerous bunk in my opinion.In conversation from web permalink Attachments

I have an old #Samsung Galaxy A tablet. I primarily use it for watching streams (videogames … twitch and seriousposters) and videochats. Whatever #Android version it runs has not been updated in years.
I want to replace it … and possibly install LineageOS or another such OS on the decommissioned device.In conversation from Shoyu permalink -

Also noted that #Samsung #Health is about to start requiring an account after an update scheduled for 2021-01-21. I suppose I can block updates, but I think I’ll just remove the app and schedule the replacement of the Samsung watch, since I’m not aware of a public interface that would allow a non-Samsung app to connect to the watch and receive the information.
AFAIK, #Fitbit & #Garmin both require online accounts to use any of their fitness tracking functionality. (I could continue to use the watch’s count and manually summarize things.)In conversation from Shoyu permalink -

The motion sensor on the old phone appears to be failing. If it isn’t in a particular position, it doesn’t count steps. It is usually about 40% below the main phone’s count, but it has been 75-80% less a couple of times recently.In conversation from Shoyu permalink -
