I can tell you that I turn off my T-Mobile Sim card and can make WIFI calls just fine.
As for losing data doing the Beta upgrade, it’s no more dangerous doing the update to the Beta than doing the bog-standard upgrade via the IodeOS upgrader app. In fact, you do use the upgrader app to apply the Beta update itself.
The only difference is you download the updater file from IodeOS to your computer and then transfer it to the phone via a USB cable into the Downloads folder. You then open the updater app and then choose the three dots in the upper right corner of the uploader and choose “local update”. Navigate to the file you saved and choose it. Everything else is the same as a normal update after that.
I backed up my phone on the off chance it would cause problems, but I had no issues.
Ok, thanks for all that. I had a look at seedvault on the phone to back up first, but despite it showing up under ‘search’, i can’t find it to actually use. I might just make sure everything i want is saved to the sd card and take it out.
But youve given me confidence to try it, so thank you for your reply
just search for “backup” in the systems setting search bar. It doesn’t show up as an icon. Tap on “Seedvault Backup” and start defining the backup, it will walk you through the process.
Take your time, its alien at first, but I backed everything up and there was room on my phone to do so. You can always delete the backup if you run low on space after confirming the phone is OK>
I’ve been using open, unsecure, not private WIFI for a couple of months now.
I don’t seem to be having any troubles with hackers or snoopers.
How would I know anyway?
Thankfully, all my computers are running Linux.
I think the Marxist deep state is making fun of us. It doesn’t matter though. I still get to cast my vote that the government has no place peering into their citizens lives. But, as Luciferians, they will abuse privacy and security until we give ours up. Obama wants to know how many more school shootings they will have to stage before we give up our guns. I’m sorry I went off on a tangent.
So what are the risks of using open, unsecure, not private WIFI? I know there are people in the world with nefarious intentions. I’m just hoping there aren’t too many in my neighborhood. If someone hacks and changes my router password, I’d have to buy a new router, or factory reset my old one. I prefer wires so my only wireless devices are an old android (decommissioned upon the arrival of my Brax3) and my Brax3. I look things up on my desktop computers.
I’m not disputing that being unsecure is potentially bad. I just need to be reminded of the risk.
Add-on question to Mike’s statement above - can we use the USB port on the Brax3 to get wired Internet access? I don’t have an adapter but if anyone has tried that is a great alternative to wifi.
I have the same issue with my Netgear AC3600. I can only mine via WPA (open). I bought a GL-SFT1200 (Opal) from Amazon for $35.00. It has worked for my Brax3 ever since. My setup is WPA/WPA2-Personal.
I can now confirm that the USB slot on the Brax3 does allow for an Ethernet Internet connection. It works really well with a USB-C to Ethernet Adapter.
Seems that the issues are still experienced on the same router using WPA/WPA2.
Developers are still working on it. It will get resolved - just not sure exactly when.
Last post in Call for successful wifi authentication router / access points! - #12 by rik was at end on August, so I post my working router here.
