  • New FIG Kosher Phone

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?

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

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

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

                      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....)
