I've Googled the hell out of this issue, but couldn't find an answer, hence signing up to this site.

Anyway, Xperia in Facebook works except for liking songs from the music player. It just says it couldn't create post and to try again later.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mcann:
I recently responded to a thread in Themes and Apps about the HBO Go app. I mentioned installing the app and readily accepting the su request, considering the legitimacy of the source. A more knowledgeable person than I am cautioned against allowing access without knowing the reason behind that request. This is very sound advice and something I really should've considered. Since the source was legit, I just accepted the request. My question is: is the user able to determine why a su request is needed and/or what the request will be doing to the phone? I have since blocked the app from su and it's working fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SoCaliTrojan:
A superuser request is basically asking for higher privileges than is normally available to the average user. Apps don't usually specify what they need root for...you'd have to go into their source code to find out. Superuser only logs the requests, not what each app did.

If you have Android Terminal Emulator installed, let's pretend to be an app as an example. Go into terminal emulator, and then type "su". You'll see that the prompt becomes a # to signify superuser access. Now, you can do anything, such as mounting /system to make it writeable and then install files as system files.

I am reminded of one time when I wanted to see if NFC worked in our phones. I downloaded an app from the market with only 13 downloads. It asked for superuser access, and I approved it without thinking about it. If my NFC was working, who knows if it scanned my cards and sent them to the author, etc. I'm not even sure why it needed access if NFC is supposed to be a service that is available on an unrooted phone (eventually).

Your app might be running fine since it has probably already finished doing everything it needed superuser for. We have to be careful with superuser because we then basically give the app control over the system.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dayv:
If an app asks for su permissions comes from a reputable developer, you should be able to contact that developer and that developer should be willing to give full discloser on everything that app is doing. And that developer should have a good reputation with with other good people.

Second once given su permissions an app could do almost anything and could hide its tracks so well that the majority of us average users could never track down every thing it did - if it was coded well enough by a talented hacker (only other talented people wood be able to work out exactly what is going on).

So be very stingy with su, because every time you give those permissions your giving out the keys to the castle - so to speak.

--- edit below added to post ---

I still don't know why that version of HBO go was asking for su permissions, there has since been an update that is no longer asking for su permissions. This is just a guess but it was probably an an attempt to check for whether or not the phone is rooted because the media type companies fear those of us who root our phones, their afraid we can record their streams and cut down on their ability to make more money off of us.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mcann:
Dayv, thanks for your advice. If a developer wants to check for root access, won't there be some type of traceable commuication between the app and the developer? I did install the updates and no su requests on HBO, MAX, or SHO.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dayv:
Su permission does not necessarily mean the app would send data back to the developer, but if a dev was good enough they could write it into the app to steal data, send it to them, then have the app coded to go back and erase any and all evidence that data was sent, even reset data counters.

making so that you have to catch the app right in the act - which could be very hard cause these things could be done so fast you would not be capable.

then the only way to catch wood require access to logs from some router the information was sent through which you are probably not going to have access to.

A malicious app would do damage until a talented enough white hat with the sophistication (both in intelligence and hardware) capable of catching the bad actor gets ahold of the app.

If you or I get a hold of a bad app and give it su permission days or Weeks before a good white hat analyzes the app we could literally get robbed blind before the news hits as to what the app is up to.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mcann:
I would like to think that a developer working at someplace like HBO isn't writing malicious code into their apps. I would also like to think that they are screened by someone either at the company or Google before being posted in the Market. Either way, I guess the safest way to go would be to know the source and even then deny su access and see if the app runs. If it does, great. If not, then decide if you really want or need that particular app. Obviously apps like TiBu need root access, but HBO? Hmmm...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dayv:
What I think HBO may have been doing, and this is just a guess, is trying to see who is rooted and not. Then they could control or cut off what is sent to rooted phones.

I doubt they were trying to steal any other info, but they may have been for controlling advertising you receive.

even though this is not as bad as what someone evil would be up to, it is still bad and they should not have done it with out disclosing their intentions.

I think the fact that they are still refusing to explain what that su request in that version was is quite telling that it was not likely something that would go over as a positive if it gets out.

And they probably will never tell us unless enough people make enough of a complaint about it.

But that won't happen because there were not enough people affected for it to become big news.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mcann:
While we are kind of picking on HBO here, I think the lesson to noobs and olds (is there even a title for those more experienced??) is to be cautious about allowing su access to app requests. I am going to stick with my idea of denying su requests if it doesn't make sense to allow it. I can always allow access, if necessary. But I'll see if it works without it first. Hopefully others will follow this advice. Similar to running Windows 7 as a standard user, never admin.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] matthewharmon102:
so i have a problem installing the wp7 sdk and developer tools. my system is windows 7 x64, a fresh install. I cant install the dev tools fully. i have tried the file from the msdn site, and it seems to install ok, but it does not install all the components and i am missing the wp7 dev tools. there is no error message or anything else to indicate a problem. after a few reboots, uninstalls and reinstalls, i tried the minisdk, and the setup runs and says 'gathering required information' then closes and nothing more happens.

I have tried hard resetting the phone, and have re-flashed it today

[Thunderbolt General] Coderedpl:
I currently have a Droid Incredible. I've went from a Droid 2 to a Droid X to a Droid Incredible. I love being able to switch between roms and having many kernels to pick from. MIUI and CM being my two favorites, but recently my phone has been acting up, speaker crackling, bluetooth i believe took a crap, and it's just not as it used to be, so I'm considering getting something else.

I also have the 3g unlimited data plan and was told by verizon the 4g phone will work fine with my current plan as it has but with 4g.

Currently eyeing:

1. Thunderbolt

2. Incredible 2

3. Bionic

All will be bought used as I'm not shelling out vast amounts of cash to verizon for a "new" phone. (Yes i could wait for Razr or galaxy but that's 600 if not more we are talking about, and I'm not extending my contract for now)

[Thunderbolt General] gsm18:
I was in your shoes last week, I had a Dinc, but wanted 4G. I was actually set on the bionic but decided to give it a couple of days before I bought one (used) to see if I could get a better price. While I was looking for a bionic, I came across some TB's and ended up buying one from a guy on CL that had it for 2 weeks. I paid $170 for the phone, extended battery, car charger, case, and the 32gb micro sd that came with it (oh yeah, no ****ty contract either). I wasn't even coming close to that number with the bionic. I use the internet on my phone for work and the 4G speeds blow 3G out of the water in my area, I couldn't believe how fast downloads were! It was also an easy transition from the Dinc, rooting the TB and flashing was just as simple as my old phone.

Solar's post hit the nail on the head though, battery can go fast, but I can make mine last if I know I wont be around a charger for a while. Bottom line is, for me the TB's pros far outweigh any cons it has. I couldn't be happier with what I paid for.

[HTC EVO 3D] capathy21:
Hey guys. I know this is going to appear an elementary issue but I can't seem to figure it out. I work for Sprint I know all about battery life and what kills it and how to make it last. My 3d is draining about 20 percent per hour! I have swapped batteries, tested my batteries, wiped my device mutiple times and flashed different roms and kernels. I can't seem to figure out why my battery life has become so bad. My wifes 3d lasts about 16+ hours with moderate use and I get nowhere near that. Any input would be appreciated! Thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] efan3719:
you can try wiping battery stats. if you have been flashing roms that can sometimes cause bad battery life. also the standard making sure radios you arent using are turned off and what not. but i'm sure you already know that. most recoveries have an option built in to wipe battery stats or you can use an app called batterycalibration. pretty straight forward app. hope that helps.

[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
May be a bad battery, 20% an hour is an aweful lot
[HTC EVO 3D] capathy21:
LOL she would definitely know if I swapped it out. I bought the platinum brand 34000mah extended life battery from best buy and I'm seeing little improvement. I really hate to think its the phone since I have s-off and really dont Want a 1.5 hboot. Could some one tell me which radio I should have. Could that affect battery life as well?
[HTC EVO 3D] hitman4274:
The radio version shouldn't effect battery life that much, could be from a bad signal, the phone constantly searching for signal kills the battery quick, and when you say her phone lasts 16 hours with moderate use.... That doesn't tell us too much,

Screen on time is where the valuable information comes from....

Do everything you can to maximize battery life... Turn on and off the certain radios as you need them etc.

And do a battery stat wipe, as this is calibrating the phone to the battery, not the battery to the phone... Flashing kernals and roms could Bork battery stats very easily... And flashing to a different one wouldn't necessarily fix the problem... Hope you get it worked out,

Get rid of auto brightness too, get your captivate buttons to a lower brightness they eat the battery up too...

[T-Mobile LG G2x] te_quiero_forever_girl:
This has been on my mind for a little while now and I've been waiting for either Google or CM team to make it happen but...So anw have anyone ever thought that it would be awesome if we can have folders within folders ? Sure the idea of creating folders to store a specific category of apps has been around across multiple mobile OS platforms, but personally I haven't seen one that would let us users create one or more folders inside that initially created folder. It would be great if CM team, or heck Google can put this into Android. We would be another step ahead of iOCrap.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tahahawa:
The reason they didn't is because how many folders within fillers would you want? Put too many and it overflows the system. Probably the reason why it isn't there yet. A lack of demand is another possible reason. It isn't as low level as file system, which has this. This would be running in java vm then in an app.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] LordButtersI:
Folders within folders is something programmers have been able to do since DOS. Probably before that. There is NO technical reason why it would be impossible.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tahahawa:
I did not say it was impossible. I stated some possible reasons why it has not been implemented. This "folder" is on a higher application level than it is on a file system. Therefore out would take more resources, albeit probably not a whole lot.
