@f4micom I work in the mobile payments security industry, and one interesting attack is abusing the microphone of a smartphone that's being used as a PoS to detect where the user placed their finger on a PIN pad shown on the screen.. That's just one more example of side-channel attacks :)

My wild guess: Instagram's built-in browser is there just so they can collect more information from you, such as addresses or banking information, just so they can "make your life easier". I have a feeling Instagram maybe embedded an ad-blocker to make those processes easier.

The trick is to press both power and back keys, and when the "SAMSUNG Rebooting..." message appears in-screen, press the power key many times repeatedly until the menu appears. Tap to the power key = navigate through the menu; press and hold power key = select highlighted option

However, as you can see, the options for "bright" and "dark" have disappeared... In order to achieve this maintainable setup, I had to ditch these options from the APKs. But, this leads us to the next feature... Dynamic brightness based on the time of the day *by default*!

They apparently have a USB download mode despite this watch charging via induction. Maybe with some internal debug pins? Also, they seem to have created a wireless download mode. I will charge my watch and try to mess with it.

Additionally, you can now select the different scenes (locations) using this built-in, custom made configuration application. This means that everything is now packed into a single APK, making the download size much smaller. No more separate APKs for any of the planets! 🥳

Wireless download mode: it has two possible submodes, WPS and AP. Under WPS, the watch doesn't open any Bluetooth or WiFi network. Probably proprietary. The screen contains the mode, device model, it's DID, the COMMERCIAL, ODIN, LOCK, STATUE (status?) and RP bits.

If you would like to keep dark mode turned on, but get the changing effects during the day, I suggest enabling dark mode on schedule and set it to start at 4:00am, and end at 3:59am. This way you will effectively have dark mode enabled while the wallpaper changes during the day!

Even though I do not condone what Samsung is doing, they are in their right doing so. We do not know what kind of DRM from whoever manufacturer/provider is inside this device. Samsung wants to protect this device's software from being reversed, hence why that feature is disabled.

Now, whenever dark mode is enabled without a schedule, the wallpaper will remain dimmed. But if light mode, or dark mode on a schedule are enabled, the wallpapers will change based on the time of the day. P.S. Keep an eye on sunrise and sunset for special effects on some scenes!

The reason why these wallpapers were delayed so much was precisely because of having to deal with multiple APKs for each of the scenes in each planet. In order to avoid this, I spent last week understanding how the scenes were being applied on actual Xiaomi devices...

First package is Day & Night. This one showcases some hills with a sky with changing colours as the day goes on. Day & Night at India accomplishes this, but with an Indian building as background. Lastly, day & Night smoke removes all the elements but the color.
