Just heard about a new kosher phone that came out with pre installed kosher apps anybody tried it already out? https://figkosher.com/

I have used the non kosher version. The physical keyboard integration is not that good. Found it similar to the CAT flip phone.

darth where can i buy the non kosher one?

Xiaomi Qin F21 Pro. Now there is already an Pro+ model! Btw i heard from people that are very happy with the phone.

Does the phone work with Verizon?

chaimzalman somewhat. Not officially approved but seems to work if Verizon doesn't kick it off... MVNOs work okay..

Techgen $84 for the non-kosher. The Kosher one is $229

have the older version sold in Israeli phone stores (without touch screen or camera) pretty easy phone to use though i don't think there's T9 which makes texting a drop difficult, could be the newer version from FIG has it....

New FIG Kosher Phone

rand01201 Not really possible.

rand01201

Biden2020prez why is it not possible? Because the phone doesn't allow custom ROMs on it?
Flippy Does the TAG filter remove all video playback? Like if i transfer something from my computer to phone?

Flippy

rand01201 Why not TAG filter?

Biden2020prez

rand01201 basically You can't flash any firmware to any phone. It only works on very similar models.

Flippy

rand01201 I am not sure specifics. you should contact your local TAG office., They have a variety of options for many phones.

Biden2020prez I think he means to make a custom firmware specifically for this phone, just similar to the fig in its filter level/limitations

Flippy Yes I do see twrp and custom kernels for the Flip3 on XDA Forums. Once I root the phone would I have access to the kernel and be able to make changes to the existing kernel or would I have to use a new custom kernel? If I can access the existing kernel code, I think i can disable browser that way more easily?

I remember Fig initially disabling browser on the android messenger then eventually they moved to their own messenger app, I would what the reason for that was?

second

finally! new update on the fig flip fixed the issue with the waze app, & its working again. would be nice if they can post anywhere what else was addressed with this update.

shaztzi

second does the fig flip also have the problems of service stopping after a while? or calls going to vm once the screen shuts?

hershys

can i download any app on the f30 kosher model?

countrypark

hershys no, that wouldn’t be considered kosher.. it has an AppStore that has Waze, Gmail, and 2,3 other minor apps.

hershys

countrypark but is there a option to install other kosher apps like google maps..... or to install apk?

countrypark

hershys I’m not sure, did not test but I hope and assume that not. They supposedly customized it to be kosher so I’m sure it’s not easy to bypass, if at all possible.

They are not officially selling yet, should start this week, but the device I saw, Waze and Gmail crash when attempting to use them. I assume this will be fixed once officially released.

hershys

countrypark thanks for the info. tag has a filter for that?

countrypark

hershys the one Cellular4Less will sell comes filtered.

hershys

countrypark but do you know if im buying the non kosher if somebody could filter it cuz i would like to have some more apps?

countrypark

hershys are you sure it’s available unfiltered with the US bands? I understood they customized the bands.

hershys

countrypark double checked now the unfiltered with us bands will be available in november

countrypark

hershys guess we’ll have to check with Tag then.

practical

hershys Any update?

JKing2

greatobeajew Just curious if your phone is still working well with tello?

Flippy

shaztzi The Fig flip does not have those issues
