Edit after reading next post: Oh relax, dude. We're just joking around. I don't see why what you want to do matters though; I mean the phone has data connectivity. Only time I've ever wanted to do what you're doing is when I had my good old Ipod Touch

And just a pet peeve, please don't title your threads "Samsung Epic". Every thread in here is about the Epic, that's why there's an Epic forums.

Raymond4, I hope you're wearing a fire-retardant suit today! ;)

In the interest of network security, here's some tips for preventing your WiFi from being hacked again. This is how I understand network security from a consumer standpoint, I'm not a network admin or IT guy, so do your own homework:

WiFi Protocol

WPA2 - Use this! It's the best consumer-grade WiFi protocol.

WPA - Meh. It's inbetween WPA2 & WEP.

WEP - Avoid if at all possible! This is old and very weak and susceptible to hacking these days, I'm guessing this is what you were using when your friend hacked your WiFi.

WiFi Encryption

AES - Use this! AES is the strongest encryption used in consumer routers, especially combined with WPA2.

AES + TKIP - Meh.

TKIP - Avoid! Like WEP, this is old and decrepit, also my guess for what you were using at the time...

Finally, make sure you use as difficult a password as your encryption level will allow you, yet you can still remember! Changing case (upper, lower), letters, numbers, & special characters should all be part of it if you're using a protocol/encryption that allows all the above.

How do i pick a lock? You know...just curious in case i lock myself out of my place. Not that my ex gf who i'm still obsessed about didn't change her locks and not let me know...

j/k :)
[Epic 4G General] heathmcabee:
Its called Penetrate. Your welcome. Have fun, download the file and put it on your SD card. The extra files you need to download that is.
[Epic 4G General] LordLugard:
Penetrate doesn't work. Had it a week and it couldn't do anything. All the ssid it found weren't supported..
[Epic 4G General] heathmcabee:
Yeah, it's more for over seas routers I think. Alot aren't supported, I couldn't get it work either, but thats all there is for that purpose that i know of.

I never knew what the difference was (and didn't care enough to research it). Thanks man, I learned something interesting today.

Now I'm gonna make that change and disable Draft-N because it ****s up my wireless headphones.
[Epic 4G General] VassagoX:
There are legitimate reasons for looking this up. Research purposes. What if you're writing a paper or a fiction book or something and want to know how to make your villian create a bomb? :p

Just saying, some people truly are curious with no intention of using the information. ;)
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
While that may be, I still feel better when I know those people are being watched ;)
[Epic 4G General] Poryhack:
A lot of people still use WEP despite the fact that the key can be cracked in literally minutes. The hard part is getting the kind of fine-grained control you need over your own wireless hardware in order to perform the attack. Unfortunately I think we'd need device-specific drivers written before we could get that kind of control on android.
[Nexus S General] co0kie:
I have tried to look for some threads regarding noise cancellation but the only ones i found were recommendations and questions about it.

I am sorry but I feel the urge to open this thread and at the same time surprised by the fact this thread has not been created before.

I constantly get people claiming they can hear background noises almost at the same level as they can hear my voice. It seems like every time I walk down the street, any background noises (bus, cars, people shouting, music, etc) are being passed onto the other person's line. It also holds for when I am at home with friends and someone calls me, the person on the other line claims he can hear practically every word my friends are talking about as if he is on speaker phone.

Also, connecting my Nexus S to my bluetooth speaker in my car is almost not possible as people claim they hear me as if i'm in a 'space shuttle'. I can confirm that its not the bluetooth speaker as I used to have a Blackberry and never had any issues.

Anyone experiences it as well? knows about someone developing a solution for it? or is it just me hallucinating here :(
[Nexus S General] generalagony:
This is a widely known problem and unfortunately there seems to be no fix in sight. Samsung does not use a secondary noise cancelling microphone like in the Nexus 1 and their software noise cancellation is simply garbage. I am keeping my fingers crossed that the brilliant devs can figure out a way to improve the noise cancellation with some kernel magic.
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
"their software" .... you mean Google's software? ;) Samsung doesn't touch the firmware whatsoever. They just provide the hardware in coalition with Google.
[Nexus S General] mysterioustko:
Simple solution (albeit it costs money). Get a noise cancelling bluetooth device. I have a blueant t1 and I never get background noise complaints. People don't even realize I'm riding on the highway. I wouldn't put too much hope it the devs doing a whole lot with noise cancellation because there's only so much software can do, since the phone lacks the hardware for true noise cancellation.
[Nexus S General] RogerPodacter:
This has been posted a few times when the phone first released. There's no fix unfortunately, and a deal breaker for some. In noisy places the call quality seems to suffer from the software noise cancel function.
[Nexus S General] DumbUglyDragon:
What noise cancellation? :D Yea, its quite a change from the Nexus One. People hear EVERYTHING that goes on in the background.
[Nexus S General] SoliCall:
You can do a lot of noise cancellation with software only. There are numerous examples of excellent software solutions for noise cancellations.
[Nexus S General] co0kie:
For the Nexus S? can you give an example?
[Nexus S General] generalagony:
Ouch. Pwnd. Everyone knew what I meant ;)
[Nexus S General] bfksc:
Not for the Nexus S, but other companies have had successful software noise cancellation - for example Motorola CrystalTalk. As for noise on the Nexus S, I've asked friends and my wife when calling from stores, parking lots, in the car with tunes playing, etc., and they all say background noise is virtually non-existant. And I sound just fine as well. I've noticed that people can hear the music in the car when I'm not talking, but as soon as I start to talk the music is silenced. Calls to my own voicemail line confirms this.

Perhaps it has something to do with firmware versions? I have stock 2.3.3 pre-installed, no root.
[Nexus S General] MarkusPO:
it may be possible to noisegate out sounds below a certain level which depends on the mean amplitude level of a range of frequencies common to the voice. in otherwords, calculating the average amplitude the voice is, and removing anything significantly below that amplitude.

however without a second out-of-phase microphone, results wouldn't be all that great and would be processor intensive.

interesting project i may look at some time in the future.
[Nexus S General] co0kie:
I'm not sure weather CrystalTalk stands for a specific feature on Motorola's ROMs but if its a software, on Android, couldn't it be ported to other ROMs?

btw, I'm running NScollab 1.0.17 but always experienced such issues, even when I was on stock 2.3.3 pre-root.
[Nexus S General] SoliCall:
I was not looking for Nexus S. Simply trying to prove a point that software noise cancellation is doable and working great. BTW, the developers of such software can easily port it to different platforms since it does not rely on specific hardware.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theSpam:
As the titles states, I use the SetCPU widget and find that it stops updating after a while (after which, I'll have to remove and re-add). Is there a fix for this?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nivlac978:
That has been happening to me and I haven't found a fix. I just stopped using it. It's a shame too because I used it a lot for checking the temperature, making sure I wasn't running too hot.

Maybe you can try reflashing the kernel.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tackleberry:
did it on every rom even stock i have used. i stopped using setcpu, it caused more problems than good
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ratchetrizzo:
confirmed here too, the widget stops working for me after it's been on charge for like an hour. The status bar/notification bar icon works though (but no temperature)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilostchild:
its the app and the widget itself, for the longest time i had this problem when i was using my n1 and running cm6 and not only that, when i had it set to a certain freq. i go back into the app and it would say its clocked at 800 max, but i had it set to 110, i would have to adjust the freq bar to set it back to that.. i email the dev bout it all he said it was not set on boot, which i replied thats no the issue on hand as the phone has been booted up for awhile, and i manually set my OC, i never got a reply back after, so i check set on boot, and after bout an hour.. i go to setcpu and same issue

my target is set at 110 but its saying its maxed at 800, this also set on performance to always be on that OC, i told the dev again. and still no response so i gave up on setcpu, and glad the Cyanogen made built in cpu govnor
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ratchetrizzo:
Its the widgets, my data signal widget takes a crap and freezes too. Setcpu works fine even when the widget freezes
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tackleberry:
If running cm7 just use the built in settings. I used setcpu with off screen prifles being slower and others but it actually made my phone run like crap. Battery life has been generally the same without using setcpu so I killed it. If u are running cm7 I wouldn't bother with it.

hey ,my ROM is Vegan 5.1.1，I know that the gtaablet's CPU is 1GHz NVIDIA Tegra 2 - Dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 CPU .

but when I download the moboPlayer through the android market, the system notice me that I have to re download the V6 VFP version of moboPlayer.

I saw the version information inf moboplayer website, and found that:

"High-end version of V7 Neon for Other high-end ARM V7 CPU use Android device"

"Version of the medium V6 VFP" for "Few other devices ARMV6 VFP"

but then I google the Cortex-A9 CPU information and found that

"The Cortex-A9 processors are the highest performance ARM processors implementing the full richness of the widely supported ARMv7 architecture"

so Why the system notice me that I can just use the V6 version?

anyone have the same situation?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isira:
Our Tegra 2 CPU does not have Neon instructions, which version 7 requires.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] savage0:
thanks! but it should support the V7 CPU...

in moboplayer website...it said that

Applies to:

Meizu: M9

Google: Nexus One

HTC: Desire、Desire HD 、EVO、Incredible

Moto: Milestone、XT800

Samsung: Galaxy S

Sony Ericsson: X10

Acer: Liquid

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sm0k3d 0uT:
Those devices support neon tegra 2 doesn't
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isira:
Like I said, Version 7 of MoboPlayer calls ARM NEON instructions which our Tegra 2 CPU's do not have. If MoboPlayer didn't have a check to see if the CPU had NEON instructions support, as soon as the instruction is called, the program would crash.
[Xperia Play General] Vortex Unleashed:
Yea I know....its kinda a stupid question, but according to blogs.sonyericsson.com the boot loader will be unlocked in later spring, which means, in the worst case some day in the middle of June….

Ouhh man….just the mere thought of it make me sick.

I mean, its so contradictory that the LG Optimus speed has already been rooted while LG doesn't support any custom roms and Sony Ericsson, who made several steps to the community, wasn't able to do the same until now.

I really hope, that the boot loader will be unlocked not later than early May…

Gosh….I need an aspirin….
[Xperia Play General] svenk919:
All they have to do is provide a service that provides an unlock code compatible with your imei number (different for each phone). They probably already have it working.

I think they are waiting for legal reasons or because they want to release it when it`s best for marketing. Maybe to fill the gap since they released the play/arc and when they are releasing the neo/pro to stay in the news or as a built up to the neo/pro release. It could even be that they are waiting for the neo release because that phone is supported to.

[Android Software Development] peterbodea:
I am tires of WINMO 6.5, and WP7 is not what I want. The only thing is that I can't give up my hotmail, and NO I don't want POP3 version, and the exchange trick won't show me attachments..... not html etc.

I want hotmail to behave like any an regular email client.

As of now this is how I am setup on winmo 6.5:

1.

PH#s (contacts with PH#s) + Calendar

= Gmail, synced via microsoft exchange (I do this because I use Google voice)

2.

Email (Hotmail) + Email contacts

- synced via windows live email client

Any advise will be greatly appreciated. Also... I would like to combine somehow all my contacts in one directory that will be synced somehow between gmail (for google voice texts and calls) and hotmail (since I use this all over my PC's and add contacts from different locations. Can I do all this and use ANDROID?? Please help!! Thank you!!! - Peter
[Android Software Development] adamantypants:
lol you already have the right parts. Just finish adding your contacts to Gmail. Sign in to your Gmail account as your Google account on your Android phone and you can automatically sync your Google calendar and Google contacts. You can even auto sync your contacts so that as soon as they're in your phone they'll be added to your contacts. If you're worried about all your email only contacts showing up in your dialer, then you usually have the option to only show contacts with phone numbers.

Gmail (as with most e-mail clients) supports HTML.

You've just reminded me what a PITA WM6.5 was. It was workaround after workaround to get the last workaround to work. There's a reason Microsoft dumped the old "Windows Mobile" name and start fresh. 6.5 compared to ANY modern smartphone software is just dumb. Sorry for the rant, I think I was getting flashbacks @_@
[Android Software Development] reddragon72:
In Gmail you can add your hotmail, yahoo and others through an interface(PC only). When you have your gmail account open in a browser(PC) click the gear in the upper right corner and select mail settings. Then select accounts and imports tab and it's the second option. Super easy as I have done it. As for mail, there is a @mail app built into android. Just google hotmail android and you'll find pop3/imap/exchange settings everywhere. And I do believe that @email android app is HTML viewable.

There is no reason at this point to keep that old 6.5 phone, jump over to Android and you'll totally forget you ever had a lesser phone.
[Android Software Development] peterbodea:
But.. still if I add Hotmail via exchange, it wont let me view attachments... Pop3 is not the way to go, since is not a complete sync with the server (I check Hotmail from different PC's and add/remove contacts constantly. Pop3 won't sync that)
[Android Software Development] peterbodea:
So does this mean I will switch from Hotmail? And when I reply to an email received at hotmail will show my gmail as sender? Again, I don't want to switch from hotmail. All I want is an "email client" for android that fully suports hotmail with 2 way sync. I hope you understand.

P.S. looks like my post shows up twice. How do I delete the other one?

Thank you you guys for your help!!!
[Android Software Development] butler360:
I believe "Enhanced Email" for Android does what you're looking for. It can use Exchange ActiveSync and has an option for HTML email.

Also, if you want to sync Gmail and Hotmail contacts, try Soocial.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] backspacepc:
Seems that 90% of the battery problems with SBC, was with the Chinese battery and not the stock. I'm running an SBC kernel with absolutely no problems with the stock battery. As far as charging past full, that's a new one on me. I can tell you that letting it die is bad for the battery
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jstalford:
SBC kernel can cause battery life to get shorter and shorter more quickly than a non SBC kernel, but I don't know if it will kill a stock battery as fast as it can a chinese one.

I think the big problem, esp when using chinese batteries, is leaving the phone on the charger all the time, like driving in the car on a long trip with the phone plugged in to use GPS.

SZ ROM has an on/off switch for SBC which is good for that reason (as well as giving you a choice).

[Android Software Development] WiredPirate:
Gmail has always worked great for me on android. Its a must when you check your mail on multiple devices. Android lets you save contacts to your gmail account, so you can edit your phone contacts in gmail. Im sure you could then import the contacts to hotmail.

What is CM7? Also, when you check your hotmail from your phone, doest is show checked in your desktop version as well? Is it synced both ways? Or just pop3?
[Android Software Development] fowenati:
It is a one way sync, CM7 is a custom ROM for android. What phone are you planning to get? I've heard there is someway to get GMail to send over all your hotmail stuff and use it as a 2 way sync, but im not sure. Microsoft always kept Hotmail hard to access from non-microsoft products.

[EVO 4G Accessories] shadowhawk2020:
I finally broke down and bought an extended battery for the Evo. I bought the 3500 maH battery from gorillagadgets.com. They suggest cycling from completely full to completely empty.

So, I charged it completely, while I waited for that to charge, I ran my stock battery empty from 100% in just under 3 hours using slingbox. I then ran gorilla gadget battery the same way, slingbox running off of 3g, screen on the whole time and got 5:45. Not quite double the battery life, but close.

I ran it down the second time, this time with 4g, wifi (on, not connected), bluetooth, GPS all on. It ran for 4 hours and 45 minutes.

The third charge was more of a real world test for me. I took the phone to work for the first time. Normally at work I have very weak signal, and struggle to get 6 hours without having to replace the battery. After a 9 hour work day my phone was at 60%. It wasn't the heaviest of use days, but I managed to listen to music for 6 hours, text, web and read some articles on pulse.

I ended up just letting the phone run down naturally on its own, in the end the screen on time was just over 3.5 hours. So far I am happy with the purchase.

I have seen people get that with stock as well. Just not at my work. There are three of us with Evo's and none of us (no matter what Roms/Kernels)last a full day on one charge.

Sure we could beg our IT department to disregard their security policies so we can have an airwave pugged into the network so we can use of our phones. Or I guess I could explain to my wife and daughter if they needed to get a hold of me during the day, sorry I am saving battery life.

Or I can spend $40 for a battery, a back and a case that more than doubles the battery life I was getting, without have to turn of any of the features that make owning the phone great.

Hard decision ;)
