[Epic 4G General] lovespancakes96:
I have a few questions about the epic because I'm getting a replacement phone for my evo and now I'm thinking about an epic. So how is the keyboard on the epic, what can it overclock to, what's the battery life, and if you still love the super abolit screen, thanks in advance
[Epic 4G General] SpicyBurrito:
A. The keyboard is good(Least to me). There is a bug where some keys will skip, but there are fixes for that.

B. So far, we've been able to get the Epic to be stable at 1.4GHz.

C. Depends on your usage. Some ROMs improve the battery life of the Epic(Bonsai, SFR, etc etc)

D. Yes, I love the screen. Better than the Evo in my opinion.
[Epic 4G General] lovespancakes96:
Thanks, and how is the sliding mechanism holding up and do u like how they made it sping loaded
[Epic 4G General] jackal516:
The epic is a great phone. Its keyboard will drop key strokes. But if you plan on rooting it, then theres a flashable fix for it. I've had mine for over a month and was able to tweak it to the way I like it with just some reading and know how. The screen is great (basing this off of my last smart phone, Omnia 1910) Its good times for Epic owners. Good roms, great themes.... and ummm some kernals.... the fastest kernal i've seen out was 1.45Ghz and I ran it for a week, but it wasn't stable for me. Other users clam it runs great. But they haven't worked out all the bugs in it from what i've seen. I'm running mine OC at 1.2Ghz stable. 24+ hrs with light use but about 18 hrs with normal use (which is about average for a rooted w/ rom epic). oh and I get great signal and gps locks fast.
[Epic 4G General] jackal516:
SpicyBurrito, is that the Genocide_1.0 kernel you're running? How is that?

Oh pancakes, the spring loaded keyboard is ok. I slide it in and out easy so as to not wear it out (thats what she said)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ionutzm05:
Hello,

From the moment when i bought my Galaxy S i really liked the TouchWiz interface. Now, from the reviews of Galaxy S 2 i have seen the TouchWiz 4 and it looks really amazing. I have searched for a theme or something but haven't found anything yet (and is normal, because Galaxy S 2 haven't been shipped so the TouchWiz 4 couldn't be ported). But some days ago, i saw here some icons of TouchWiz 4. My question is : Can someone try to customize TouchWiz 3 to look like TouchWiz 4 using these icons from the picture (I really don't know how would look the icons after being cropped because the picture is at a low resolution)?

I'd really like to see a modded TouchWiz 3 with this icons and some other improvements.

I don't have the necessary experience to do this.

Thank you very much.

Is there a way to turn it off? WSJ Link
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cypho:
Uncheck Settings -> Location -> Use Wireless Networks

Calling it secret is a HUGE exaggeration. By default it is disabled, and when you enable it it pops up a warning that says "are you sure you want to do this, enabling this feature will send your location to google."

Also, sign out of Google Latitude if you ever signed in to it. The entire purpose of that app is to constantly update google with your location so your friends can know where you're at so if you don't want your phone tell google where you are, you should probably not be using this app.

Finally when the browser asks, "This page wants to know your location", say no.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ua549:
I have that turned off. I'm concerned with tower triangulation data being sent to unauthorized recipients such as Google.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cypho:
Why do you believe that your phone is still transmitting it's location if you have turned off all of the features that warn you when you turn them on they will transmit your location? The story you linked to does not imply that he had those features turned off.

On the other hand, so long as the cell towers can see your phone, the towers can calculate your position so AT&T can (and does) know where you are, and is free to sell that location to who ever they please. But the only way to disable that is to not own a cell phone of any kind because it is not a function of your phone it is a function of the cell towers.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ua549:
It is my impression that both Apple and Google use cell tower triangulation and call home over the cellular network. The Apple collected info definitely comes from cell tower triangulation.

My firewall logs do not show any attempts to send data from my home network. They would be blocked as unauthorized. The real question is how can one be certain of what the evil empire is doing to destroy one's privacy?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cypho:
For apple, there is no way to know. There can be no "secretes" when it comes to android. You don't have to trust google not to transmit your location when you uncheck the box that says don't transmit your location. You can find out exactly under what scenarios the phone will transmit your location by downloading and reading the source code yourself. Or you can just trust that many of the DEV's on this site have read the source code and have not found any "evil" going on.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enhanced:

It's all open source. There's nothing to worry about. That's the magic of Android.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rivlez:
I think this a case of worrying over nothing. What can they do with that data if they have it...improve features and service? LOL
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ua549:
Detectives would sacrifice their first born to have a location history of someone they are investigating. There is no doubt that divorce lawyers would do the same. If that info is stored in a file on the cell phone, they'll get it. Read the stories about the Michigan State Police testing the Cellebrite UFED.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miami_Son:
You guys are pretty naive if you think Android being open source has anything to do with this. As long as you're in phone mode and connected to a tower, they can track you. Only airplane mode or turning the phone off will stop this. The problem is not that the phone can do this, but that there are no laws that dictate what can be done with the info and who can have access to it and under what circumstances. We are so quick to adopt these new technologies without knowing or fully understanding how they can expose us. The law does not keep pace with the technology.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cypho:
The question is who is "They". If the OS is secure the only "they" is the people who own the cell towers. But if the OS is not secure, google, samsung, or someone else could be tracking you.

Unfortunately, the party I trust the least is AT&T and I agree with you that there is nothing anyone can do that would stop them from knowing where you are.

But if it is google, samsung or someone else other than AT&T that you fear, then the discussion does have merrit.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
AT&T knows and has known where u were even on basic cell phones cos ur phone would be attached to the cell tower it is connected to. So there is no way u can get around from AT&T knowing where u r.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ua549:
"They" is the evil Google.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newter55:
Not to belittle the privacy concerns but if detectives and divorce lawyers are the first thing that pop into your head you probably have some issues to address.

Seriously though getting your location is nothing new whether it be via cell, credit/debit card purchases, etc., if the police can justify to a judge that they have avalid reason to try and locate you using these means, they most definitely will. Remember though, they are concerned with admissability as well. At least at the local, state, and moat federal levels.

As for.the msp article,there is no evidence they have misused the technology.....yet.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ua549:
Those weren't the first occupations that I considered. Anyone can purchase forensic electronics and suck up the contents of a handset. A warrant is immaterial. Ask the Michigan State Police. I'm not worried about the legal aspects as much as the illegal ones. The police though are noted for crossing the line of legality, especially at traffic stops.

My concern is protecting my privacy. That's why I use prepaid sims, single use email addresses, proxies and several legal tools to obfuscate my identity. I use anonymous gift cards for non-cash purchases.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CatFan:
You don't have to turn Latitude off to prevent your location being sent to Google. There is an option to enter a location to send. I'll have to dig in to find out where the option is. Using this option you can pick a spot on the map and that is what is sent to Google. As far as Google is concerned i haven't left Mallory Square in Key West for about 6 months!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ua549:
I don't have Latitude so I didn't consider it.

There are lots of other location aware apps.

I have that feature turned off.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xhuck1:
So long story short. My girlfriend tried to be helpful and took the sd card out of my evo, shoved it far down in the xoom. How can I get it out? Now I'm with out a phone and I have a sd card jammed in the xoom.:confused::mad:
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Legacy2385:
Damn man.....well I know that happened to Kellex from Droid-Life and he said he'll have to get it back when he sends it back to Moto for the 4G upgrade......Or you can crack the bad boy open yourself and get it out.....ifixit is your friend
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tbayne:
I think your only option, especially if you CANT see the card anymore is to tear the device down, here is a how to:

http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Motorola-Xoom-Teardown/4989/1

If you can still see the card then try some tiny tweezers, with the device turned off.

Good luck

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlrbjr:
+1 on the iFixit teardown.

Yeah, but in his update his managed to fish it out on his own. He did need to remove some screws though.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xhuck1:
Update: I got it out. followed the fixit steps. Word to the wise though, Motorola has the inner screws extremely tight. I ended up stripping out one of the screws for the top portion of the back cover. I had to very carefully cut the tab so that the top portion could be removed. With the bottom portion re-installed and the gel case back in place it is not noticeable. Also after getting in there...where does the sd card go? I'm guessing that clear plastic thing has to be removed. Oh and I'll kill my girlfriend if she ever touches my xoom again.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirtydirtyharry:
I will apologise immediately for my noobness but Ive had the nexus s for a few months and I somehow managed to add a message onto my standby/homescreen shortly after getting it.

I cant for the life of me remember how I did it, ie whether it was through using an APP or not?!

I now have no idea how to remove it (I dont really want to have to reformat the whole phone)

Whatever setting it was, it allowed me to create a message using 3 seperate lines the first of which being my name (Incase I forgot it ;-) )

Does anybody have a clue how i remove this message?

Cheers guys.

[General Questions and Answers] rajv81:
i am using Wolfbreak's CM 6.1.3 v06 ROM.

No doubt that the ROM is much faster and better than the SE ROM (apart from the HD video issue).

However, i am facing another issue which i was not facing with the SE original ROM - support of Hindi text... :(

Currently all the ROMs of wolfbreak (i have not tried other's roms) does not support this language. And whenever i have text in Hindi language, like in SMSes, webpages and in Google Translate, everywhere all the characters appear like boxes [] [] [] []. I receive a lot of SMSes in Hindi and i am unable to read any of them now due to this problem since the time i have switched to a custom ROM.

[This is a sample Hindi word : नमस्ते (if the text here too appear as boxes or as black dots, i am sharing a file here containing a Hindi text example) ]

I am unable to make a request to wolfbreak thread due to the reason not known to me. So i request those who have access to reply there please put my request there to fix this problem in next release.

Many thanks for your help!

[Nexus S General] MarkusPO:
So... what with the hoohah about Idevices tracking location data and storing it locally, what do you think about on Android, location data is uploaded to Google?

If I were to create a ROM, I'd modify the source of Android to politely remove this feature / obsfucate where possible...
[Nexus S General] oldblue910:
Considering Android is open source, if Google were doing that, someone would have found it by now. And technically you CAN do this with Android if you enable Google Latitude and allow it to report your phone's location.
[Nexus S General] meetagrawal:
Android is basically doing the same thing.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2011/apr/21/android-phones-record-user-locations
[Nexus S General] MarkusPO:
There are. Read the TOS.
[Nexus S General] Andrew421:
Can i ask why anybody cares? I mean seriously if you have a cellphone you've always had the potential to be tracked. If google uses it who cares? Personally i like it. It would let someone locate me if i was missing and it would let me locate my phone if i lost it. Google records everything. They scan your email for key words to bring up ads on other sites and on google itself. It's not a big deal it's just one of the things you have to deal with when you have to be in the tech loop.
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
Google plainly give you the option to opt out when you sign in to your Google account on the phone. You can also disable location in settings at any time. Big difference between that and what iOS is doing.
[Nexus S General] Samga:
Security risk!

The android location service cache can be read quite easily with root access or without.

As long as this info isn't transmitted, but only used internally for better connection time and location accuracy, the risk is low (if the phone is stolen there is much more sensitive information).

If it is transmitted, it has to be anonymized, and I have to be able to switch the transmission off without loss of on any other non-dependent functionality (i.e. I don't want to be blackmailed).

Why should we put up with everything? Why should we be like stupid sheep? Only if we care about privacy, there is a chance that we can keep some freedom.
[Nexus S General] MarkusPO:
even if you opt out when first signing on, you'll get a warning saying that to use location features you have to agree to uploading location data - in the background.
[Nexus S General] lambda30:
Agreed. CrApple doesn't even say that they collect data.
[Nexus S General] eatTHESEbullets:
Agreed!!!!!!

First off I take no credit for the original idea of these icons. Those honors go to nixxez. His post with his original icons can be found here: [ICONS] Scrambble (over 390 icons)

That being said, with his permission, I made some Scrambble icons to supplement his iconpack. There are 50 included in the zip. Here's a small preview.

There is a wide variety included. Some are things I needed, some are items recently offered free on the Amazon App store and some are ones people asked me to make.

Either way, I hope some of you can get some use out of them. I will probably update these periodically as well.

EDIT: The following link is a zip with ALL the current Scrambble icons I have. If an icon you're looking for isn't included I'll do my best to handle any requests but I can't make any promises and can't guarantee a quick turnaround time. That being said... I'm also attaching the .PSD and font files for anyone wanting to make their own.
