I've set up GrapheneOS on my Pixel with 2FA fingerprint + PIN unlock. No way will anyone be getting into it without my cooperation.
My only issue was less compatibility with my local emergency services, since they can't see me on a map for some reason if I call from a GOS phone.
My solution to that was a second Pixel as an emergency phone - one with the stock OS, that I'll swap sims with and take with me when hiking, stand up paddle bording and doing other activities that carry risk. This phone has no sensitive information in it. I also have a PLB for added protection.
- fluidcruft 1y agoIs there anything actually preventing Samsung or another vendor from adopting GrapheneOS's security innovations?
- immibis 1y agoProbably their legal obligation to comply with secret government orders (FISA, NSL etc - the government probably already said don't make unhackable phones or else) and their informal wish to remain on the regime's good side.
- astrange 1y agoSamsung is not an American company and what you're claiming would conflict with other countries' laws, namely EU Cyber Resilience Act.
- joemazerino 1y agoThe hardware Samsung provides is not up to spec.
- russianGuy83829 1y agoGrapheneOS is seemingly working with an OEM to make a GrapheneOS smartphone. Its probably not samsung, but would still be an established vendor
- DANmode 1y agoIt better not be Samsung...
- Andromxda 1y agoIt isn't Samsung
- preisschild 1y agoThey are not making a "GrapheneOS smartphone", they are just helping providers make their new devices compatible with the security requirements, so GrapheneOS can be installed on it. But GrapheneOS will not come by default AFAIK.
- Andromxda 1y agoIt's totally possible that there will be an option to buy the device with GrapheneOS preinstalled https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/114749924008111970 https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/114749924008111970
- chopin 1y agoI'd love this for a Fairphone.
- Andromxda 1y agoIt definitely won't be Fairphone.

- DANmode 1y agoWillingness to pay great developers and engineers to build secure hardware, understanding sec, them observing actual demand for security. History says don't hold your breath. We get lucky once in a while, like with Google's hardware (without their software).

- falleng0d 1y agoif you're relying on such feature, you'll probably serve less time being charged with destruction of evidence...
- ifh-hn 1y agoHow would they know? Genuine question, I don't run GOS.
- aussieguy1234 1y agoIf the Duress PIN is an obvious one, it may be one of the first ones your adversaries try. Like 1111 for example. So you may not even have to tell them the Duress PIN for them to attempt it.
- ThePowerOfFuet 1y agoThey'll have to prove it.
- matheusmoreira 1y agoSurely that's better than being charged with whatever crime they're trying to pin on you?
- DANmode 1y agoFirst I’m hearing Graphene causes issues with E911 - is this a setting?
- deleted 1y ago[deleted]
- ranger_danger 1y agoIs it E911 or an A-GPS issue?
- tredre3 1y ago> My solution to that was a second Pixel as an emergency phone Picking a Pixel specifically as an emergency phone is quite the choice, given years of on and off 911 issues.
- DANmode 1y ago...with the Google software.
- sigio 1y agoDon't know if/how this works in the US, but the EU emergency number can always be called without a simcard/subscription, so no need to swap simcards. (And sometimes even from a locked phone)
- danielhep 1y agoUS is the same. I dialed 911 once as a child from an American phone in Indonesia without a SIM card in it. Freaked out and hung up.
