DO NOT DOWNLOAD THESE FROM APPLANET!!!

It will take you to a fake gameloft survey where you say your country and favourite os, and when you touch "send", it says 'thank you for your donation' and sends infinite messages, charging your phone bill. The only way to stop this is battery remove or task killer.

AVG android id's virus in GingerBreak?

Just by dumb luck, I had loaded avg pro on atrix. When blithlely following directions to load GingerBreak, received message from avg that program contains a virus and I conclude that either: 1. I had to unload avg and then load GingerBreak or 2. ask in this forum if this message is for real. Any and all responses will be welcome.

[Touch HD General] Muzikant:
The problem is that the android market is also not safe from viruses (although, probably more safe since it's monitored by Google and they can remotely remove malicious apps...).

I currently use lookout but wondering if there is a better antivirus.

How is AVG ? I'm using it on my desktop computer and like it but somehow got the feeling that it's too "heavy" for Android.
[Touch HD General] fluxgfx:
Morning mate,

You can use ESET. Has has now their own AV. EMS (Eset Mobile Security) You can grab it from the market, currently in a BETA stage but quite advance and very low footprint on any device. It's definitely on the same playing field as any awesome Antivirus/Malware prevention tool.

Regards,

fluxgfx
[Touch HD General] eug3n91:
I used ESET for a while. I use it on my PC and my laptop, so when I saw it in the market, I got to installing it right away.

It slowed down my phone horribly and no matter what I did, I wasn't able to uninstall it (My phone was not rooted at the time). After trying everything I found on the web, I eventually got to backing up everything I had and factory reseting...:(

They've probably fixed that bug by now, but it was still pretty annoying...

Can anyone recommend any other Android anti-virus software? It has to be "good", obviously, but it also has to quietly run in the background, eat as little battery and memory as possible.

P.S. My device is a Galaxy ACE (currently rooted and with leaked Android 2.3.4 firmware):)
[Touch HD General] CatalystWon:
On the PC I used and removed Eset. It was a real pain spending huge amounts of time removing junk deeply imbedded and left behind in the Registry. As such, I'd be hesitant to try Eset again especially on an Android device. Furthermore, I read where Eset used their own secret vpn to bypass any local firewall to get updates, without telling the user.

I am skeptical of reviews by AV publishers like McAfee, Kaspersky, etc. warning of "the coming horrible tsunami of Android malware." :p

If anyone comes across a detailed Android AV review, please post the link.

no warez discussion allowed.

I see, no one was actually advertising/ requesting or posting warez, so there will be no consequences.

but since this is not an issue for anybody, not using warez in the first place, this thread is closed. if you got yourself a virus this way, there are enough tips to get rid of it, but it is your own fault.

also, i edited all the posts containing the name of the warez distributer.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] kuschel:
Hi,

I am unable to get my Galaxy S2 charged with an External Battery for Portable Devices (e.g. Just Mobile Gum Pro 4400mAh).

With the Galaxy Ace I had the same problem. After disconnecting the USB data wires, keeping the power ones intact, it worked fine, but that does not work with the S2. Anybody else having that issue? The USB cable charges with wall charger and PC.

I would hate to buy a new external battery. :-/

Thanks,

kuschel
[Galaxy S II Accessories] erazer007:
Could you rephrase your sentences. I am not able to understand the problem clearly.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] kuschel:
Sure. The phone does not charge when connected to the battery pack. Charges fine with the same cable using my HTC charger.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] erazer007:
Which battery pack is this? Do you have any link to it? What mode is the phone when its connected. Is USB debugging enabled?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] spyrale:
Same battery pack here, and same problem... Deactivate usb debug and it will charge. Too late for me... Already ordered another battery pack... Oh well... :)

[Galaxy S II Accessories] stinkypete:
I'm using a Pebble and it works perfectly
[Galaxy S II Accessories] kuschel:
Charging works after reboot

I found a partial solution. I connect the battery pack to the phone as if I would charge it. The GS2 does not show any sign of charging. Then I turn the phone of, it automatically boots up again & shows that the battery is charging - guess that works for me.

PS: After a disconnect I have to do ist all over again.

advantages of a good external battery is being able to charge more than one device i.e. notebook etc :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] KratosAurion:
I have the exact same issue when using a mini USB charger with a Motorola Mini to Micro USB converter. When I connect my charger, a pop-up on the notification bar shows "USB host cable connected", and it won't charge until I power off the phone. When I plug the charger while the phone is powered off, instead of showing the charging animation, it will boot up instead and start charging. Charging using the stock charger or PC work just fine. And I thought I was the one that created this complication while flashing different ROMs and kernels, but it seems like an issue with s2 phones.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Tinderbox (UK):
I found that a lot of cell/mobile phones will not charge useless the two data lines on the usb adaptor are connected together , I have modified a number of usb adaptors myself to get them to work, some phones need certain resistances on the data lines before they will charge.

I use to have a Samsung galaxy tab 7" and it was super fussy about the chargers it would work with, I found this thread and this guy had found an usb to usb adaptor that has all the need fixes so you can easy make any usb charger work.

All my usb adaptors seem to work with my SGS2 without any adaptor so i dont know if this would work for you.

EDIT : unless you know what you are doing, dont do it.

I bought this and guess what:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/TeckNet-Dua...dible-Blackberry/dp/B000NDQ92W/ref=pd_cp_ce_1

the phone is discharging rather than charging while the battery icon shows that it charges.

more specific: I connect the phone to USB 1A port, I hear the beep tone and I see the battery icon turns to thunder icon , just the normal situation which shows that the phone is in charging mode. OK?

IF I use the phone (i.e. browsing with WiFi) the phone's battery level is dropping down instead of getting up. I use a battery app and I can check realtime the percentage. I must have the phone in standby on order to get charged!

Unbelievable but true! The external battery cannot hold the consumption while in use, even when connected to 1A port!!!

solution - how to charge SG2 with Gum Pro

Hello kuschel,

For me the following solution helped:

Just plug in your cable to the battery, switch it on. Then plug your cable into the phone but veeeeryy slow until the "MTP application" pops up. After that you can move the plug to its final position normally - your phone is loading.

For me it looks like to be a software issue - since I updated my phone to the current KIES version and rooted it (German KF3 Samsung original) I've had that issue no more...

Cheers

Zap
[Galaxy S II Accessories] @MARK:
Well look at that. Worked first time and now my mobile gum battery pack is charging the phone just fine.

Which is a real shame as I have now ordered a replacement battery pack and the gum pro was actually really small and compact for a 4400mah device.

Kingdom Port for Desire HD from RCTeam works with Desire S.

Warning! This is DEV thread, No one is responsible for your bricked device. Flash it if you know what that is.

What works: Graphics, Led light, Flash light, Sensors, Wifi, Bluetooth, GPS, Mobile Data and others.

Need to be fixed: Sound, Camera, some widget need to resize...

How to Install:

First make a nandroid backup via Clockworkmod.

1- Download rom from RCMixHD KINGDOM v1.1 thread.

after rom install finish, install this kernel. SKernel V03 and reboot.

Credits: RCTeam, loveboatcaptain, chwads2k8 and Everyone else i forgot now.

so this is just a try. i hope some devs help us to get the fix for some issues.

important!!: i am not a dev. i just trying something myself.

If someone make a full working rom, then this thread will be deleted!

(sorry for my poor english)

Yes, DHD has a very similar hardware, but not completely...you need to load modules for camera and sound from working DS ROM, I've tried to port some sense 3.0 OM from them, but I don't have that much time these days to complete it...Also there will be problem with SU I believe...

Oh and it runs much better with m-deejay's kernel btw ;) (sense 3.0 that is)

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shauna_cc:
So I've spent hours upon hours trying to flash a custom ROM on my Vibrant and I've just run into problem after problem. I'm already rooted using SuperOneClick so I went into ROM Manager in order to install a rom that I downloaded. It's GingerTrigger. When I tried to flash with ROM Manager it only rebooted to recovery mode, with blue letters. So after searching and searching for the reason it wouldn't reboot all the way, I found out something about a kernel or other I needed to get, 2e I believe. Oh, I'm updated to FROYO btw, with 3e or something. (As you can see I really don't know to well what I'm doing.) Anyway I've followed this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=925400 and I've gotten to step 5, wherein lies my problem. It says to run the batch file but when I do it says it cannot find the file path, and I'm stuck there. All I want is to simply flash a custom ROM for the first time and it seems like EVERYTHING goes wrong. I've rebooted and factory reset (not before backup of course) and I just can't seem to get anything right.

I've gone into my sd card on my computer and I can't find a /system file anywhere, let alone /system/bin. I just need help.

No, I'm not sure, however, a complete wipe and reflash is often all that is needed.

Are you saying that you were unable to flash the rom? If so, shutdown your device. Afterwards, simultaneously press the DOWN volume button and the Power button until your device starts. After a short pause, a few lines of text will flash across the screen and then you will be shown a set of options on the left side of the screen. At the top, you should see either "S-ON" or "S-OFF". Hopefully, it says "S-OFF". If it does not, you need to re-root. Also, at the top of the screen, you should see your HBOOT version. What version is displayed?
