Disagree as you please. You guys find ways around these phones right? What makes you think there isn't a way around security apps. I know a computer is differ but send me any virus your anti virus software can detect and I can bypass it with the same exact virus. So I'm sure someone could do the same on a phone. Id like to see more people discuss this topic, then I'm sure we could come up with more ideas and ways to protect a phone.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Onebryteday:
I appreciate the feedback. I would rather be proactive than reactive. Realizing nothing is 100%. Being secure is an on-going endeavour.

Thanks!:)

[Samsung Mesmerize] ChromWolf:
Far be it for me to put words in add's mouth (or anything for that matter, he bites! LOL), but I suspect what he's getting at is that, as Onebryteday has inferred, the only phone that is 100% secure is the phone that does not exist. That's essentially true for any device that needs securing in one form or another. I agree with what add is saying should that be the case.

It's foolish to depend solely on anti-virus software, yes, but only in that it is foolish to depend solely on *any* one single method. It is therefore equally foolish to completely ignore it on the assumption that anti-virus will be bypassed. It's just one layer of security you can apply, and shouldn't just be wholly ignored because it is not 100% secure.

The more correct way to say it is that it can be bypassed--whether it actually will or not depends on the virus you might pick up, the strength of the anti-virus you're running, how often it's updated, your own app installation choices, browser behavior, etc.

We're kinda bumping into extremes of a continuum here. Don't just ignore anti-virus solutions completely. Don't rely solely on them either. The more different and overlapping security measures you can take---both with software solutions, and simply by being educated about security compromises and proper security behavior---the better off you are.

That should be a sticky. I didn't mean to sound like an aver isn't any good, it just isn't enough. I would like to know more about the Android OS and possibly have a topic for security on our phones. The more people who can help prevent intrusions the harder it will be for malware makers to stay undetectable.

I have recently started running Liberty 0.3 on my DX, and the only issue that I see is with my contacts. My contacts are syncing to my google account, but when I select for them to also use facebook, it highlights the icon and acts like it is selecting it, but nothing comes up. Any suggestions for fixing this issue would be greatly appreciated.
[Droid X General] camiam:
wipe data and cache and reinstall the rom again . during the set up skip the gmail login. after your finished the set up open up the market place and do the sign in from there. It worked for me. Some reason when you try to login to your gmail from the backup assistance it take forever longer than the suggested five minutes.
[Droid X General] smiteme:
I updated to liberty v.5 and they had an option to install a contacts sync feature so it now works. thanks for your help!

Hi Guys, i would like to know if someone is interested to work on a MANET running on android phones...

i have actual develop an specific Routing Protocol for Manets and simulated in Opnet and works well, i don't have to much skills on Java Programming or android software development and need help to develop the code for it...

basically the project is to run several android phone that will be able to use adhoc mode to create network and each node to be able repeat the signals to the next near node....

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] skrulladams:
You may want to post code in C or C++ . No doubt someone would convert it into the proper Java android code. I suspect some of it would need to be wrapped anyway and that it's highly likely to require root access.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
as long as you dont see boot.bin or sbl.bin on the screen pull the cable out and start over. these are flashed at the end so there should be no worries.

try master clearing before you flash next time,(master clear works on recovery and while phone is booted not in downloadmode)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pf.ozer:
how do i master clear?can i do it with odin3 one click?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:

You shouldn't be doing all of this if you dont know and UNDERSTAND what you're doing.

As for your question, Master clear will bring it back to how it was out of the box.. Which means, w/o any data.

have you noticed the lag? it's absolutely impossible to play it with two players.

I've tried Touch Hockey game on a friends IPhone and there is absolutely no lag!

any ideas why and how to fix it? is android flawed in that manner?

Thanks!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] exstatica:
Not sure how many of you have heard of Plex, but the idea is you install the server, and it indexes all of your media however you'd like to have it setup.

Then you can either port forward, or only use it locally, and it gives you access to all of your media on your iPad, iPhone, and Android phone. Well it gets better, they just recently updated the app to work with Honeycomb.

I've been playing with it, and streaming some movies remotely and it looks great and is very stable. Now I can watch all those episodes of Archer that I missed on my Xoom.

They blogged about it here..

http://darrin.plexapp.com/2011/04/27/plex-for-android-now-supports-honeycomb-xoom-and-other-tablets/

the cost is 4.99 (I think its still 4.99) but its worth every sent in my opinion.

I was also able to stream full 1080p movies to my Xoom without a hitch.

Just thought I'd share.

[HD2 General] Som30ne:
I have searched, but did not find an answer for this . . . so . ..

When I used a windows mobile 2003,

if I turned off the device, and started it only a few hours later, I was getting notifications for all appointments that had passed during this time,

even if the "end time" of these appointments had passed as well.

With the HD2 when I turn the device on, I would only get a notification

if the appointment had not "ended" yet.

Is there a way to make WinMo6.5 notify for all appointments that were not notified,

even it had already passed ?

Thanks
[HD2 General] stevedebi:
WM 2003 would lose all running data if actually powered off, as I recall. So turning it "Off" only set it to standby. Therefore the alarm function ran continuously. Essentially, those devices stayed running all the time unless one pulled the battery.

This is different from WM6, which keeps data in NAND memory and can be powered off.
[HD2 General] Som30ne:
Thanks for the reply and . . .

Well, you are Almost correct, but not accurate.

It could be actually powered off.

If the battery ran very very low, it would not power up,

so it would use the last bits of energy to preserve the memory (but no processing whatsoever),

and you could pop the battery out, and have about 30-60 seconds to replace it.

The moment you put a charged battery in - all reminders to all past appointments would be displayed one right after/on top of the other.

So you could see if/what you missed.

Not having reminders for missed appointments with the HD2 starts to be too annoying.
[HD2 General] stevedebi:
My point was that MS designed WM5 & 6 with the knowledge that the nand would have all the appointments in the pim file, so there was no need to display past appointments.

PS Yes, I did not cover the capacitor that allowed a brief time before the memory died. That would be hardware specific to a particular phone model, I think. But I have not seen the HW specs for 2003; maybe it was a design requirement.
[HD2 General] rlichtefeld:
Have you looked at ReRemind by Avian Waves? It will "nag" you at intervals if you haven't dismissed an appointment, or a message.

Rob
[HD2 General] Som30ne:
No.

Havent heard of it until now.

Will give it a try.

Thanks
[HD2 General] Som30ne:
Well, Just tried the ReReind,

what worked for me is disable wifi before turning the screening off or go into option and change it so that it never disconnect from wifi will fix the issue for me though

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] untruestory:
I've had an Evo since June but might be switching to Verizon. I know the hardware is about the same but wondering from the perspective of a flash-aholic what advantages/disadvantages there might be.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Infamous_Cheez:
I have had my thunderbolt for about a month and I can see how ppl get caught up and become flashaholics. I have become one myself. There are plenty of roms and kernel options ranging from pretty stable (The Perfect Storm) to still in development (CM) to tweak your Thunderbolt to your liking. Coincidentally that it the only downside I see; there's always something new to try making me want to flash something else lol
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aostl:
There are a lot more roms for the evo. The thunderbolt has faster internet speeds and a better processor. Also sense 2.0 which is nice
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
the thunder bolt is far better hardware than the EVO. the TB has a second generation snapdragon CPU which is faster, 30% more power efficient, and 45nm rather than 65nm core die. also the TB has the adreno 205 graphics chip which is very good, where the EVO has the adreno 200 graphics which is very weak and poor.

TB is a good upgrade over the EVO in most every way.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirtyfingers:
Like stated the Thunderbolt does have superior hardware and software, but as of now there are much more options for roms and mods for the evo only because it is an older device. Give the bolt some time and with all tje dev support I have seen so far it won't take long for even that to surpass the EVO. Plus sprint's network sucks.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] untruestory:
Thanks for all the awesome feedback. I was under the impression the TB was basically the same hardware... guess I didn't do my homework :P I've loved having my Evo but yeah... I agree the network isn't as good as Verizon. Overall It's pretty good coverage where I'm at though Sprint's data cap sucks. It's the customer service that really sucks. Thanks guys!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IISiDeK1CKII:
After playing with my roommates EVO, I can assure you of at least 3 things:

1. My phone is all-round snappier, faster d/l speeds and app switching is smoother, it's all round a better performer.

2. The evo is (from no scientific evidence) thinner, yet heavier. My thunderbolt also feels so much sturdier, the back feels nicer, we have a better camera and a much better kickstand. I also hate the circles around the capacitive buttons, just a personal thing.

3. We may not have very good Dev support as of now, but when I was shopping for phones after the evo came out, neither did it.

all in all, you'd be very happy getting the TB. I swear :)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iflip:
I love my tb. It's the sturdiest phone I've owned. Hopefully htc can continue this type of quality build. I've always wanted an android phone that was made from good quality material like the iPhone. I'm due for an upgrade next year. I'm wondering what htc will come up with around that time.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshw0000:
The TB is my 3rd Android. I started with the Eris (way too limited hardware but awesome development), switched to the Droid X and thought I would go crazy with Blur and the locked bootloader), and finally got a TB a few days ago. This is by far my favorite phone. It hasn't left my hands since I bought it. Considering how long it's been out, it's got really good development.

Compared to the stock Evo, the TB's Sense is much nicer. I'm actually going to keep it it until CM is more stable.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] untruestory:
Sad day yesterday... so despite the fact I've been with the same carrier (Sprint) for 8 years I was told I had to put down a $400 deposit cuz of bad credit. Lame. US Cellular approved me without any deposit. My car is two months from being paid off and my only outstanding bills from the past 4 years are medical. I don't get it :'(

No soup for me. With all the roaming I'll be doing Sprint is sure to kick me off then I'll HAVE to cough it up. But they do offer a $155 for an Evo!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaxidian:
2 pieces of advice:

1) You can get over $200 on eBay (or try Swappa - much cheaper fees) for your Evo

2) Go get a credit report and understand why you are being hit for bad credit. If you "don't get it", well, it's about time for you to take an entire weekend, cuddle up with your credit report and the internet, and educate yourself so you start to "get it". YOU are responsible for your credit, even if somebody else screws it up. And if somebody else screws it up, you have options to fix it. But those options don't last forever. Seriously, do this. Now.

touchwiz launcher does not have option to change dockbar icons as Launcher pro does

so plz tell to set same 4 icons in dockbar (phone, contact, message, application) in touchwiz launcher have.
[Android Apps and Games] duboi97:
Are you rooted? If so you can download sgs tools (search apk on Google not in market anymore) and upgrade to gtglauncher there is a five icon dock( changeable) , its faster, and looks a lot better. There is also an app in the market called Galaxy S Music Widget which is a customized stock music widget working for the touchwiz player. For weather clocks you can download all the widgets on the LG optimus (g2x) that work on galaxy s phones (I know it works for the vibrant don't know about others) remember to hit the thanks button;)

Edit: I think supercurio has a system dump of the sgs2 and so does s vibrant which goes by the user name madguitarist (or something like that) I also don't think either system have touchwiz 4. 0 sorry: /

Hi Guys,

When you record with the video camera, it makes a very irritating noise and I'd like to delete that. The camera app lets you go silent but the video doesn't for some reason.

I've looked in (using root explorer) /system/media/audio and I can't find those sound files, is there another location sound files are kept?

Best Regards
[T-Mobile LG G2x] strung:
can you pull the camera apk file? i don't have root yet but maybe i can find it for you from the apk.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] reapur:
I pulled this one from /system/app

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6759990/Camera.apk

Is this the right one?

cheers
[T-Mobile LG G2x] strung:
Try replacing your /system/app/Camera.apk with this one (back up original first). I reduced the volume of the two WAV files to nothing. Haven't had a chance to test it myself as I am not yet rooted.

Be sure to force stop the app and clear its data, also a reboot might be necessary.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] reapur:
Thanks man, I'll give this a try shortly.

were the sound files embedded in the apk?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] strung:
Yes they are! And very helpfully named camstart01.wav and camstop01.wav ;)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] reapur:
HAHA never thought to look in there :)

I see them.

That's why I like android, seems like everything is possible.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] reapur:
Ok I'm at work so my brain may just be fried. but I renamed your file and tried it and it wouldn't launch.

Then I modified the wav files in the .apk with audacity, and when I launch it I get an FC right away but I can still see the camera working under the FC dialog.

I'll mess with it when I get home, it's probably user error :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] strung:
I updated the APK in my previous post, used a newer version of apktool, old version might have been buggy.

Need to use apktool to unpack and then repack it if you are trying it yourself and then sign it with jarsigner and zipalign it with zipalign.

Be sure to force stop the app and clear the app data, also a reboot might be necessary.

I hope it works.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] reapur:
That worked!

[Desire Accessories] BashyUK:
Just ordered one now with the appropriate Proclip for my car. Cost £51 inc postage from dsldevelopments. They had both items in stock whereas mobilefun are awaiting stock on the Proclip. Have spent the last 45 mins reading up on this v's the official htc car kit and this wins for me in that it's v highly regarded generally for a variety of phones in terms of it's build, fit and reliability and has a loyal user base unlike cheap alternatives. The official HTC kit has mixed reviews, mainly positive though but it's the sucker design that put me off... where I'm from, if you can clearly see something stuck on top of the dashboard or windscreen...it's a goner! The clip fits on the central console and is much more likely to be missed or seen as as something difficult to remove so more chance of being left alone.

Hopefully my experience will be as good as other users. Just hope it's delivered quick as both items are in stock.
