Connekt Phone Drama

If overall the failure rate is somewhat low, but when there is a failure they just ignore it instead of taking care of it, thats pretty bad.

And even if the failure rate is okay, if another filter like PuriPhone has a way better track record, then why is Connekt getting the hechsher?
Why are they the ones touted as the unbreakable, kosher ones that everyone has to get, if its actually the most insecure and unreliable filter out there?

Just giving my note on this topic:

  • MTK - With DA encryption, it’s kosher’able
  • QLM - If nobody has the firehose, It’s kosher’able
  • SOC - same as MTK

Ani chomu and connekt are both filters, not necessarily ROMs. They should never maken a bet on a filter - such as what the bucher has opened… Theres no guide needed. if it has a download agent lock - then it’s good. if not not.

  • i would recommend the connekt team to threaten the BlackMailer that if he proceeds to put up the website, they’ll release his identity - as someone who doesn’t care to open and expose thousands of yidden to nesyonos… something which will ruin his life forever.

nobody should every threaten to bust open thousands of filters…

His identity isn’t know?

I’m sure Connekt knows it - but we dont

Are they saying there really was a $100k challenge?

And then blaming the bouchur because nothing in technology is 100%…?
(a point I very much agree to, sorry @TripleU )

Yeah that’s what it sounds like
Completely ignoring how a person wasn’t paid like he rightfully should’ve been and instead putting the blame on on him

I spent a good while as well it definitely seemed like those tools will be a good solution but they are very expensive

This point is so hilarious

It’s not connekt that was the issue but rather the filter the phone had
Lg classics filtered in tag with the same filter also had this issue

My two cents on this

Not touching the money prize they promised or any other parts of this saga
Just some dry facts to clear up

Connekt is a comany and ani choma is a standard of filtered phones but not a filter of itself
Connekt only sells ani choma standard phones using the filters everyone uses however, it cannot be changed/reflashed in any way (whereas if you filter the same model phone elsewhere it usually can be changed)
If there were any issues in the filter they used, it is a problem but not really in their hands to solve as they are only a seller for the already kashered phones, rather they would need to wait (make sure to expedite) for the filter to fix the issues
That being said, if this bochur found a way to actually kick the filter off then it is not exclusive to connekt phones but to hundreds of other phones using the very same filter

100% agree
The only reason people are out against Connekt is because they promised a reward and then refused to give it over.

And for which phone?
Cuz as I mentioned it wouldn’t be exclusive to connekt phones but to all other phones with the same filter

What does safe cell have to with this?

I am not sure I just saw that hanging in shul and I figured I’d share it.
