[HTC EVO 3D] gk1984:
yes, it has. more often than i'd like to think about. google the subject and do your homework. there are a lot of things to pay attention to...

-if the app is a duplicate from another dev in market (might have malware added)

-where you downloaded it from if non-market

-permissions (do they match what is needed for the app to work?)

-etc.

[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:
Any malware you might encounter for Android would be acquired through shady apps. It isn't like you'll go to a website in your browser, and then you'll end up with some malware. Malware on android is spread by the malware being coded into certain applications (malicious apps). If you don't download pirated apps, and pay close attention to the permissions of an app before you install it, and use your common sense, you will likely not have to worry about malware. Always read the permissions that an app is requesting before installing that app.
[HTC EVO 3D] Uchennadi:
So would uninstalling the malicious app get rid of the malware? Or is it like computers, where ur pretty much screwed once infected.
[HTC EVO 3D] Night·Fire:
There have been plenty of apps on the market with malware. I've been using lookout for a while now, it's caught a few from google market and amazon (which have since, been removed).

I would assume removing the app removes the malware, but I don't know.
[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:
I am 99% sure that removing the app and rebooting the phone would remove the malware. There used to be a few malicious apps that would run the old rageagainstthecage exploit and provide temp root access (without the user knowing). So it granted root permissions and had access to all sorts of wild info. In that case, removing and rebooting would fix it. But personally, if I ever encountered any malicous app, I would remove it and then do a hard reset, just to be sure.
[HTC EVO 3D] Uchennadi:
Thanks for the reply. I'll keep what you said in mind. This is probably the one good thing I could think of of why having a locked phone would be beneficial. I know with HTC phones, any changes made at root level is reverted after a reboot. So it would make sense.
[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:
I would say that the malware 'problem' has to do with Google being so incredibly lax on the market. Nearly anyone can write an app and have it published on the market within 24 hours. From what I understand, there is almost no security check at all. So someone could write a malicious app that steals all sorts of info, put it on the market, and get away with it until someone else figured it out and reported it to Google, at which time Google would pull it from the market. I would think that if the apps had to at least go through a security check, and make sure that there is no malicious code in the app, that there wouldn't be as many apps with malware in the first place. If that was the case, the only way to get malware then would be by using apps from sources other than the market, or pirated apps and what not. I feel like Google could remain just as open as they are, and still implement a 'security check' of sorts on all apps submitted to the market. Definitely no need to go crazy, like apple does, but a simple check of the app I think would be beneficial for all.
[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
Most if the known malware uses an old exploit that was patched with gingerbread, therefor we font really have to worry too much about it. Although no matter what OS and security software you use there will always be there possibility, your best bet to avoid it is to just use common sense.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nbarsotti:
I just came into the possesion of an Immersion MOTIV development platform. You can see it here. http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/10/immersions-motiv-development-platform-integrates-haptics-into-a/

When I got it, it had CyanogenMod 6 RC installed along with the Immersion software. Being the tweaker I am I cracked open the case to see what it really was. Low and behold its a nexus one, but it is missing the trackball. Needless to say no trackball makes using stock Recover impossible, although I was able to use CWM v3 at one point with some weird button combos. I currently have OTA 2.3.4 installed, with the Superuser app from the 2.3.3, but SU is not working. I also have unlocked the bootloader.

So my questions are:

How can I use stock recovery with no trackball?

Is there a way to get root using Fastboot flash?

Is there a way to install custom rom's using Fastboot instead of recovery?

Is going back to 2.3.3 or below with a working root and using ROM Manager my only way of getting to 2.3.4 with root?

Thank you for your consideration.

If anyone would like to trade an official Nexus One for a very special Immersion MOTIV Development platform let me know. ;)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chleb:
If it is running CM6, maybe it embed "flash_image" binarie.

You could try fastboot flash_image ...

Maybe oem commands "fastboot update" or "fastboot push" will help, as bootloader is unlocked.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
If you can get the system image in img format you will be able to flash it via fastboot. Nandroids typically create backups of each partition in img format, but that us of course a circular problem (unless you think an N1 backup will work).

The other option you may have is that you can send key press commands via adb. You can determine what key is touted to which command in recovery by using the key test option - again, a circular problem...

Finally, you may be able top smiley the key press via the sdk, though I'm not sure if it connects in recovery?

All guess work, and I've not tested any of this...

[LG Optimus 2x] xIceCream:

[LG Optimus 2x] waynefox:
I loved one of todays comments at the end of that article

They stated they had contacted LG about the Update mentioned and were told there is no exact date but it should be out within 2 weeks

There is that magic timeframe of 2 weeks again. Are they living in the world of 24 and Jack Bauer?, their weeks seem to drag on for months

I Especially loved the statement made by them on the Reghardware article

'The reason for the long roll out? It's so that "Optimus customers will not experience the types of bugs found in smartphones recently upgraded to Android 2.3", apparently'

Why would we be worried about that? we've put up with enough bugs with the Optimus and Android 2.2
[LG Optimus 2x] dakunclear:
Well atleast they have a timeframe cause up here the wind mobile rep told me august and the lg canada rep said no you don't need an update its a new phone and the american lg rep told me it should be soon since they got their update for tmobile talk about bloody confusing

[Galaxy S I9000 General] YDardeer:
A friend of mine just got a Galaxy S, and he was annoyed by the infamous lag of these phones. Long story short, he wants me to fix this issue. So I want to root it. I personally have a Nexus S, and rooting those is quite easy and different from SGS from what I can find so far. So can any one help me to root this phone? or at least pointing me to an easy guide to follow? I just want to root it, and put Voodoo kernel/lag fix/sound.

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] YDardeer:
oh, and I kinda got that its different depending on phone version? So here is what I'm dealing with:

- Model Number: GT-I9000

- Firmware version: 2.2

- Baseband: I9000JXJPE

- Kernel: 2.6.32.9 root@SE-S606 #91

- Build Number: FROYO.JPJPG
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MAKFOTO:
Hi, Rooting the phone won't fix the lag problem. The best way to fix it is to upgrade to the latest firmware i.e. I9000OXAJVQ which you'll find on the samfirmware.com site.

No lagfix will be needed.

Enjoy your SGS,

MAK.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] YDardeer:
Well, I was planning to root so I can install voodoo lag fix kernel. If Samsung fixed it with a firmware upgrade, then thats fine I'll install that. But I still want to root the phone for voodoo sound.

Thanks for the tip. Any guides you recommend to upgrade, and root that upgraded firmware?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MAKFOTO:
For the upgrade use the instructions from samfirmware.com and for rooting use this. It's quick, simple and safe. Just choose the firmware you've installed and follow the instructions to the letter.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] YDardeer:
Ok I have to admit, I'm either stupid, or this is really confusing. firmware is.... the build version? So that means I'm on JPJPG, right? That firware is listed under Arabic Firmwares (and it should, since that phone has arabic support, and was bought in an arab country). the latest update in this list is I9000JHJV8. So I should 1- update to that, 2- flash CR-Root ((which version?)), 3- flash voodoo kernel. correct?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] kistibi:
Hi

Just a quick note, that bluetooth audio on FRX07 on RHOD100 just works.

As I see /bin/hciattach checks if it runs on Rhodium, if yes then it uses /system/etc/firmware/bcm4325.hcd, so no need to copy hcd file and the other csvs, 'cos they are there.

It pairs and connect to Nokia car kit CK7W just fine. It seems to me stable just like it was in FRX06+.

So thanks for all the hard works, devs.

I bought a dual usb car charger (it has 2 usb ports) that says its for ipads or tablets, and supplies 2A. It does seem to charge faster than my other car chargers, but I think it also triggers USB mass storage mode, because apps stored on the SD card aren't usable when its plugged into this. Is this because of the USB cable i'm using (a generic USB to micro usb cable)? or is it because of the charger?

this is the charger - although Amazon's pictures don't exactly match - the one customer supplied picture does, though.
