Nokia 7 Plus will get stable Android Pie next month

The post Nokia 7 Plus will get stable Android Pie next month appeared first on BardTech.

HMD Global is trying to keep their promise of releasing Android Pie to all of their phones . The mid-range Nokia 7 Plus , which comes with Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 system-on-chip, 4 GB of RAM, and fairly large 3,800 mAh battery, was part of the Android P beta program . It recently received Android Pie Beta 4 on the 9th of August . Today, HMD Global’s Chief Product Officer Juho Sarvikas confirmed that the Nokia 7 Plus will get a stable release of Android Pie next month. According to Android Central, Mr. Sarvikas told reporters this at a media event in New Delhi.

Most likely, other Nokia-branded smartphones will start receiving Android 9 Pie sometime after the Nokia 7 Plus. Knowing HMD Global, we may see a release or two until the end of the year. The flagship Nokia 8 and Nokia 8 Sirocco  will probably be among the first devices to be updated.

While we’re happy to see HMD Global support their existing devices with regular security and major software updates, we’re still sad that HMD Global has delayed in releasing their official bootloader unlocking method. As you may already know, they recently patched the only bootloader unlock method that was available. But, in their defense, it was a third-party, closed-source paid service, which apparently worked based on an exploit. We hope HMD Global releases a first-party method for unlocking your Nokia device’s bootloader. Meanwhile, if you’re planning to unlock the bootloader on your device, disable auto-updates and don’t download the August security patch. Those whose bootloaders are already unlocked will not be affected.

How to change the PIM of a VeraCrypt volume

The developers of VeraCrypt introduced Personal Iterations Multiplier (PIM) functionality in the encryption program in version 1.12 . PIM stands for "Personal Iterations Multiplier". It is a parameter that was introduced in VeraCrypt 1.12 and whose value controls the number of iterations used by the header key derivation function. PIM is used by volumes even if the creator of the volume did not specify a value. It is an optional component that improves security: it adds another step to the authentication process similarly to two-factor authentication. The main difference is that the PIM value is fixed and not generated on the fly when requested. An attacker needs to know the master password and the PIM, if not set to default, to breach the encryption successfully and access the content of the drive or partition. A couple of good reasons exist to change the PIM value: It was leaked or stolen. The default value is used and that is not as secure as using a custom PIM. Yo...

The 5 Best Free IPTV Apps to Watch Live TV on Android

It’s easier than ever to watch on-demand TV shows and movies on your Android device. But what about live TV? Yes, there are services like Sling and PlayStation Vue. However, if you know where to look, you don’t need to subscribe to their expensive plans. You can use free IPTV instead; you just need an IPTV app and an IPTV source. What Is an IPTV App? IPTV apps are a bit like Kodi; they are empty shells that can’t stream any content without some user input. You have the responsibility for adding channels, playlists, and other sources. Typically, you cannot use the apps to watch Netflix, Hulu, or direct content from other third-party providers. Here, we’re not interested in the best on-demand streaming apps or places to watch TV online. We are only looking at the IPTV apps themselves. Specifically, we want to know what the best IPTV apps on Android are. 1. Lazy IPTV Our first pick is Lazy IPTV. It supports M3U playlists in open-view, ZIP, and GZ formats. The app can also read pl...
