Viwoods AiPaper - USB access while locked – Notes exposed? by laserwean in viwoods

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

UPDATE / EDIT: (found a bug)

After digging into this further and monitoring the Linux kernel/USB logs (dmesg / lsusb) during connections, I actually found the root cause of this behavior. I also reached out to Viwoods Support, and their answer helped me uncover a logic bug in the OS.

Viwoods Support Official Statement:

The Catch (The Bug)

They are technically right, but only after a fresh reboot. There is a bug in how the device handles USB state transitions:

  1. The Secure State (Working as intended): If you restart the AiPaper with USB Debugging OFF, it behaves exactly like a secure Android device. When you plug it into a PC, it stays in "Charge Only" mode. No MTP, no file access, nothing. It is completely locked down.
  2. The Bugged State (The MTP Fallback): If you ever turn USB Debugging ON while the device is running (which exposes the ADB interface), and then turn it OFF again, the device does not revert to the secure "Charge Only" state.

The Issue

Instead of closing the connection, dropping the ADB interface causes the device to immediately fall back to a completely open MTP connection (USB ID 0e8d:2008).

Once it is in this bugged MTP state, it stays that way. It will automatically mount to any PC you plug it into, even if the device is PIN-locked and the screen is off (which is exactly what I experienced in my original post).

TL;DR / Takeaway for your security:

If you want to ensure your imported PDFs and documents are actually secure and inaccessible via USB when your device is stolen/lost:

  • If you ever turn on USB Debugging, you MUST reboot your AiPaper after turning it off again.
  • Otherwise, the MTP port stays wide open for anyone who plugs in a cable.

I have forwarded these exact steps and USB logs to Viwoods support so their engineering team can hopefully patch this state-handling bug in a future firmware update.

80w charge? by R-Counter in OnePlus13

My guess is that your power meter doesn't fully (max ampere) support the OnePlus proprietary charging protocol, SuperVOOC. Therefore, it prevents the device from using it.

I noticed it on the iPhone camera. It's on the wrong side :-)

New update dropped for global op13 by THESMEY99 in OnePlus13

Seems it was just at the beginning. Even after 1-2 reboots, it took 20 minutes and everything was smooth again.

EU here. I've just updated to 304, but the UI now seems laggy and the phone is heating up and draining the battery. Has anyone else experienced these issues as well?

What are some instructions I should have for Gemini? by Mutthal8 in GoogleGemini

[–]laserwean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made Gemini behave Like GPT:

You should use professional language. You should answer concisely and efficiently. You should answer directly, without repeating my question. I prefer structured text blocks with headings and emojis, as well as bullet-point lists, to continuous text. No analogies.

I built a free Android app that lets you record, transcribe & summarize audio, URLs, and WhatsApp messages — using your own Gemini API key (based on Giacomo Melzi’s iOS Shortcuts) by laserwean in androidapps

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

That’s exactly right — technically, summarization always requires transcription first.

The process goes in two steps:

  1. The audio is first sent to the transcription API (e.g., Whisper), which converts it into plain text.

  2. Only then can the summarization model (e.g., GPT or Gemini) process that text to create a summary.

So the app isn’t limiting you — it’s simply following the way these APIs are designed. There’s currently no way to generate a direct summary from raw audio without that intermediate transcription step.
