>Of course they'll say they couldn't read it if they are after his contacts and network rather than after him.

From what a friend working in a state police cyber crime office says, "Cellebrite can't currently, unless its a Graphene OS user that's far behind on updates"

They also said iOS is equally safe unless you're an update or two behind.

		GrapheneOS seems to do better than anything else at preventing AFU exploitation based on the leaks. iOS will be quite good BFU but on iOS the auto reboot (brings phone to BFU after 72 hours without unlocking) is, well, 72 hours. On GrapheneOS it's 18 by default and can be as low as 10 minutes. Good luck on that, Cellebrite :)

> I ran Graphene without a Sim card for 2 months and as soon as I added a Sim card (with of course, difficult to vet networking) the phone is always hot and the battery life reduced by half. Might be a coincidence but also made me rethink how I feel about Graphene

Strange you're being flagged since it's easy to find many other people on the graphene forums reporting the same (unresolved) problem.

Doesn't mean it's guaranteed to be limited to graphene in scope, but definitely seems to be a prevalent issue for some yet-to-be-determined reason.

Possibly related, does anybody know if graphene is vulnerable to Pegasus?

My 9a running GrapheneOS doesn't get hot and battery life seems no different to other phones I've had the last few years.

That can also indicate you are not a PoI

		It would seem dwedge is likely a PoI in many jurisdictions.

That happened to my pixel running stock android and it was the 5G. As soon as I disabled it the battery lasted longer and the phone was way cooler. After all, I'm totally fine with LTE speeds

You can ask on the forum for troubleshooting. Pixels just have bad performance unfortunately.

What Pixel do you have? Modem quality varies and signal strength could play a role. My 9a gets hot in areas with poor reception but is fine at work where I get over a gigabit down.

9. I left it with 70% battery for 5 hours and came home and it was red hot and dead. In a city with no reception issues.

		That's definitely a problem, but if it was the standard experience of GrapheneOS users, then GrapheneOS wouldn't have as many fans* as it seems to. *Fans as in happy users, not fans as in blowing cool air over a red hot device

		That's strange. Have you tried the stock OS and had the same problem?

How many apps have network permission? Did you install anything from the play store at all? As a rule of thumb, the play store and everything on it is spyware.

I had the opposite experience. I was pleasantly surprised by the battery life you can get when your phone isn't full of shitware apps and even when you do install shitware, the OS helps you confine it.

		It happens in every profile. Only one has the play store and is rarely used, doesn't run in the background

Did you check the forums or research for any benign reason that could happen? I've run Graphene on Pixel 9 and 10 and never had such battery issues.
