the OnePlus 5 !!!

[-Synchronicity-]

Finally got my phone!

The phone is snappy as expected. Don't notice the jelly effect on it as I don't scroll fast.

Didn't know it comes with a screen protector though. A pleasent surprise as I initially wanted to get one to protect the screen while waiting for my tg from taobo.

A Twitter user, who goes by the name "Elliot Anderson" (named after Mr. Robot's main character), discovered a backdoor (an exploit) in all OnePlus devices running OxygenOS that could allow anyone to obtain root access to the devices.

The application in question is "EngineerMode," a diagnostic testing application made by Qualcomm for device manufacturers to easily test all hardware components of the device.

This APK comes pre-installed (accidentally left behind) on most OnePlus devices, including OnePlus 2, 3, 3T, and the newly-launched OnePlus 5. We can confirm its existence on the OnePlus 2, 3 and 5.

Woah can anyone explain what's this in layman terms?

Does it mean that rooted devices have chances of getting compromised?

If u anyhow install those suspicious app, it will be able to exploit this weakness to gain root access without your knowledge and take control of your phone, record all your keystrokes, passwords, pins, credit cards details and etc etc...

You will not even know that it is happening.

Actually this app is left in the OS image for OnePlus phones...go see if u have the app installed.

If you are rooted, you can delete that APK yourself also. But I suggest you keep a backup of it as it can be used to root next generation OnePlus

Hi, any OnePlus owners here have experience with the service drop-off point at GadgetWorld Jem? How is the service like? Everytime I walk past GadgetWorld at Jem, I don't see any counter that does OnePlus servicing. OnePlus Singapore Facebook page has been MIA once again ever since their last post on the start of OnePlus 5 sales all the way back in August which does not inspire confidence in the brand here at all. Loving what I see with the 5T and hoping to get it if and when local sets come out but my concern is local after-sales service.
