I'm not sure how this is happening although I guess it's nice to have this benefit, even though I don't watch much where Widevine L1 is required for HD. Curious if anyone has encountered this as well, or if maybe I'm seeing this incorrectly

I just checked mine and mine's L1 also, even though I'm rooted. Are you using the newest Chinese magisk alpha? I am.
Except for a few months maybe 2 yrs ago when I was using my Pixel 4 XL (there was apparently some kind of glitch going on then), mine has always (at least when I've checked) been L1 while rooted with the official Magisk.

Yep, as far as I'm aware this is because root is hidden, therefore the phone is masquerading as a normal, unrooted device, and can pass all necessary checks to play DRM restricted content.
Nope ! It's just that Google doesn't care if you're bl unlocked because their widevine runs in a secure context inside their magic titan chip, so even with root, you're supposed to be unable to hack it, so yeah they leave L1 cuz they have faith in their own system and even then, seriously ? Removing HD from bootloader unlocked devices ? What's the point even, but anyway, that's an OEM thing, not Google.
Hope it helped you in a way to understand this big mess that is widevine
Edit : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Widevine
Here's the wiki page that'll help you understand the thingy about secure environnement like TEE (Trusted Execution Environnement iirc)

I'm considering buying the phone because i loved the phone's light weight and crisp display. But, a reviewer(for pocketnow) said that the VZ Navigator always crashes and makes the phone almost unusable until he reboot it. So, I wanna ask if this problem occurs in every Lg Spectrums...

So just uninstall VZ Navigator? I mean, I don't know why all these carriers slap their own navigation on top of the G-Maps one.
Well.... Maybe I should.
But I don't like installing a custom launcher or jailbreaking the phone.
I received an message from a reviewer works for Wirefly, saying that his LG runs VZ navigator smoothly. So, maybe that's just his issue.

I don't mean any offense by this at all, but if you're not going to root (jailbreak) your phone, you're pretty much on the wrong forum. That's all we do around here.
I have a reason for that;
after i use the phone for a month, i will bring this back to korea, where LG provides excellent customer service. But they don't take care of handsets bricked by rooting. So, I want to root it at least 1 years after I bought the phone.
Before you do anything to your phone, would you please make a screenshot of Settings -> About phone (scroll to the bottom)
I'd like to make sure our unbricked phones have the same data there.
Screenshot can be taken by pressing at the same time power button and home button, the images stored in /sdcard/Captured Images/
(first time I see a linux with spaces in the filenames..go figure)

So I read today that several versions of Android are affected by the heartbleed vulnerability, among them being 4.4.2 on note 3. You can download a Heartbleed checker from lookout security to check. Question being, which custom roms have been patched? I'm ready to get rid of stock since it will likely be months before samsung, and then t-mobile finally do something about it.
Only Netflix it's an issue and I am not using it on my phone now, been a while.

Is Note 3 really vulnerable to Heartbleed? Or the apps in my Note 3 is affected with it?

As I understand it (and I may be wrong) if you go to a website that is vulnerable and you also happen to be using something like a mobile banking system on the phone that is secure, a hacker would be able to grab your information through the vulnerability of your phone.

That is true on mobile or desktop. That is because the vulnerability is on the website. None my banks were vulnerable though.
We better be careful making transactions on our mobile devices.

The version of OpenSSL on the Note 3 is affected (at the level that contains the bug) but is generally not vulnerable (the heartbeats option is not enabled) so it is technically considered safe at this point.
I will feel much better when the version of OpenSSL is updated to a version that does not contain the vulnerability at all.

glad to know its safe
I'm curious because I feel like the tablet is running smoother but it could very well be my imagination. I'm going to be happy if battery life is somehow improved by the update.
Hopefully the chromecast crashing system UI bug
Edit; nope
Honestly?? I don't see any difference. I think peeps imagine things after an update.
I though the speed up was imaginary too so I did a post update video comparison with the tabPRO. Definitely sped up.

No question the update sped up touchwiz and massively improved wifi streaming.
Video streaming such as YouTube is MUCH faster.
According to GSam I've been getting another 30min screen on time per charge since the update. Not sure if it's attributable to the update. Wifi is definitely better.
WiFi improved. The micro stutter with touch wiz is obsolete. Keep up the good work Samsung.
Battery feels like it is lasting longer to me. Keyboard entry feels a little laggier though. Could be the browser.
After update I lost like 20 apps.
I'm already rooted so I don't get updates. What update version is it? And what is the date of the update.

I'm also getting this message.
Does it mean that if you are rooted you still can updates through Kies??

Short answer is yes. However, it will unroot your device whereby you will have to flash Beans cf_autoroot again.
Also Sammy may get knowledge that were rooted to start. Once you rooted, you tripped knox (thereby voiding your warranty) . We may get a way in the future to reset knox so that should you need service, you could flash back to stock and reset knox. With kies, sammy may record that knox was tripped and void your warranty, regardless of what you may do to it in the future.
Lastly, it will reinstall any bloat you may have deleted.
I went ahead and flashed it as I will be moving to Vietnam and nobody there ever checks knox, especially on top tier products.

To start the thread off for questions and answers regarding whether the Razer Phone will get Android 9 anytime soon, i have created this space for news and information that you wonderful people can use. So...as Dr Evil would have said...."I'm the boss, need the info"
Looking at how the razer phone is project treble compatible, we will most likely get android pie.
Probably won't happen officially. Unofficially with Project Treble yes. I think Razer have given up on the there first generation phone.

I'm a little ignorant to this while Treble thing but from what I've read, isn't this supposed to be the point of Treble? So that we don't have to wait for Razer to push the update out and it can come directly from Google? Why has every other OEM supported beta builds of P but Razer has not?

Very confused person

The point of treble was to make updating easier by minimizing the amount of work done on the source code of any rom. Basically razer now has less to do in order to make a new update but will they do it? Not sure. Maybe yes maybe no.

I think Google needs to slow the update cadence a bit. It takes years for each new OS to "percolate" down, and by then the device is 3 OS versions behind. 2 years between major releases would be a decent start. And if they quit breaking stuff in between. I know Treble is supposed to help, but it hasn't seemed to make releases any faster on OEM side.
So I've been asking this question on almost all the new phones' forums recently because it's never mentioned in any of the spec websites or the manufacturers website. None of the YouTube tech channels check it either except for one which he also forgets to do for some of the phones.
The question is.... Is this phone Widevine L1 certified?
Anybody who already bought the phone can check through downloading an app via playstore. App name is 'drm info'.
Screenshot would be appreciated for anybody who are looking for this particular feature in the next phone they're gonna buy. Thanks in advance guys.
Recently, thanks to the Poco phone f1, a few known YouTubers mentioned the device having widevine L3 . Hopefully, manufacturers start implementing this feature is not all their phones, especially Xiaomi!!!
The phone isnt released yet so nobody can check. I have contacted ZTE to find out for you. It was implemented into Axon 7 so i dont expect anything different.

Axon 7 is my daily driver and no it doesn't support L1. Thanks for your efforts.
I leave this question on all new forums so others can know whether a particular device has L1 or not, I know the phone is not out.
