Patching a Samsung S4

[John Connor]

I have a Samsung S4 phone and with this Krack hack I'm wondering if there is a patch? I think this old thing uses Jelly Bean.

Your only hope is a LineageOS (or LOS-based) ROM.

 

[Rifter]

Agreed, only option is a still supported and updated ROM. Stock S4 no longer receiving updates.

Does anyone know if a Samsung Galaxy S7 would be patchable? That is the phone I'd like to get next.

It should yes, my S7 edge received a update to address this.

Cool, thanks!

Looks like I'm shopping for a new phone. I kick myself because I seen about a month ago on Groupon that there was a S7 for like $165.

I installed LineageOS on my S4, and overall, it works, though, sometimes it reboots for no reason that I can tell.

I miss the replaceable batteries on the S7/S8 phones.

I don't understand. My S4 has a replaceable battery.

The s7 s6+ don't have replaceable batteries. I won't own a phone without a replaceable battery unless that's the only way they come.

Yeah. I originally thought about getting a S6, but it seems like a terrible phone.
