New FIG Kosher Phone

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

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.

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?

can i download any app on the f30 kosher model?

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

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

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.

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

hershys the one Cellular4Less will sell comes filtered.

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

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

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

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

does anyone know if there is a case available for the flip phone? the chassis does seem weak and could use some reinforcement

epjunk Doesn't seem like there is one, but anyways a case doesn't usually protect the biggest problem area- the hinge. It's the weak point and cases don't help. (Also becoming a problem with new "flip" smartphones....)

hershys Any update?

not what i know
