  • Xiaomi Qin F30. 2 Versions: Kosher and Full Review

MXRJR I'd say it should be technically possible. It seems to me that it is using an implementation of Google Play Services, although Idk if it's full or Micro-G baked in.

    countrypark My Waze and Gmail have worked so far with the limited testing I've done.

      PHONEHOCKER I can only confirm for Colorado. It works reliably with Verizon and T-mobile. There are areas where there is no coverage at all, but those were rural and smartphones didn't have coverage either, so I assume it was not the phone's fault, but rather the network does not reach into remote rural areas.

          PHONEHOCKER They gave me an UltraMobile (T-Mobile) simcard and they said it works fine with that (they also have Verizon based that work). I put in yesterday my verizon (direct) simcard from a different phone and it still works. On the Verizon account on their site it says the phone is not supported so not sure if they'll block it eventually.

              i think im gonna buy one will test it out in ny using usmobile verizon..

                  jbriones95 Hey Jose! Huge fan of your videos 🙂 I would absolutely love to buy the kosher version of the f30 but the website provided seems so shady as the only payment method is a direct bank transfer! any other ways you know of to get it?

                  Thank you!

                        ayid Agreed, thats pretty shady. Who is "Pure talk anyway". I think they make the filter for the Kyocera phones.
                        Where are you located? Some stores have them....

                                    jbriones95 On the kosher version, Settings > About Phone > System Update. A screen pops up for a split second and then it says No update. If you look on the top left of that screen, you'll see it says 'Remote Management'.

                                    Do you know or perhaps you can find out what kind of remote management software (MDM?) they are using and what kind of access they have to the phones? I just hope they can't access the screen/camera etc...

                                    Another point, if you go to Settings > Privacy > Permission Manager > Phone. The kosher "AppInstaller" is in the list of apps that have access "Make and manage phone calls". Why is that?

                                    Thank you

                                      jbriones95 additionally under Security > Encryption & Credentials > Trusted Credentials. there are around 100 CA credentials that do not usually ship with android, some from China and Japan. When clicking install CA certificate, there is a warning that the certificate owner may access the device including passwords and credit card details. How do I know these certificates are safe? I don't know who installed them, It is possible they come from the phone manufacturer.

                                      What happens if I clear all credentials, is it safe to do so?
