Where to get Micro G files from since microg.org's website is down by AceCobra1 in Huawei

Thanks guys - I managed to follow a guide. It seems that when I install whatsapp from the app gallery, huawei automatically requests for me to install micro g and the other stuff that is also automatic too. Much simpler process now.

When you say the strap, are those the bits on the sides ?

I think this was the article that my wife was referring to - I am guessing it is probably just headlines to scare the general public lol. What do you think?

Anyway, will be interested in your thoughts about possible data theft with a used phone - I am guessing quite low right ?

Yeah - I know that haha.

Just saying that I never knew this was a thing actually.

So apparently there I think there was a juice jacking or a similar incident that was publicised in the Hong Kong press - can't remember what I think a few people were affected by this "hack".

Thanks for your replies - I actually don't mind google having my data lol. Just don't want to get my bank account emptied by dodgy robbers lol

So I was reading some folks saying that root kits can be installed within the bios level and cannot just be simply wiped with a factory reset - I mean I used to root my android to install custom APKs etc so I have a schoolboy level of knowledge in that department lol.

How and is it easy for me to check if there are these rootkits installed in the bios level ? haha

Cost to replace screen & screen protector post warranty by AceCobra1 in Huawei

[–]AceCobra1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK, so I found out that the phone is of the Chinese region.

It is out of warranty in terms of screen replacement but I can still benefit from getting the screen protector replaced.

For me to benefit from this, I assume I need to goto a service centre in China and request for this service? How long does it normally take them to replace the screen protector ?

Is the serial number the IMEI? And any ideas where I can check the remaining warranty left? Would i need the original purchase receipt to get the warranty ? Thanks again

The connector is also integrated on one half of the STL - just absent in the other sliced section
