  • AayidLevel 1 - Junior Member

    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?

              countrypark Nothing. I will delist them soon because I am getting bad vibes of lack of support and no responses from multiple people

                countrypark If you have it, no. I think they are just not going to be really supporting the device. We'll see what happens and if they get back to me. Their market is Kosher so I assume local vendors will give support, but not for online customers it appears.

                  jbriones95 what kind of issues are there? considering purchasing it

                  Hi

                  will the kosher version work internationally?

                  Hey. I finally was able to get the phone and I really love it so far! T9 and on screen keyboard work really well as well the battery life. There is a lot of support from the company I bought it from (Cellular4less in Brooklyn). I was wondering if someone can please help me; I'm trying to install Android Auto onto the phone. When I plugged the phone it seemed like the only problem was that the android auto app was not installed. I can't seem to be able to install as the phone won't allow debugging mode and when transferring the file via Bluetooth it won't let me install the apk. Please help!

                    ayid
                    if you bought the kosher version (qin f30) then you will not be able to install apps because it's blocked by the manufacturer
                    only the preinstalled apps are available.
                    now, someone on Reddit claims that he has the full qin f30 version (with google play) he says he has it for testing, but even he says it's not out yet. so I don't believe you got it from Cellular4less.
                    if you have the f22 f21 google play version then you should be able to install apps.
                    if you have the f21 f22 non-google play version (but not kosher) then you should be able to install apk but not all work

                    so if you have the non-kosher version then please let me know
                    (if you have the kosher return it promptly...)
