It is not development topic.

You need flash via flash_image. Google it. Manual is in topic with AmonRa Recovery (first post).

That worked and was pretty easy. Thanks for your help.

hi all are they really needed and if so which is the best for me to buy
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ell3:
Are they needed? YES ! There is full of android malware out there ! +472% growth (jul-nov 2011) up and counting since the market is very profitable...

Which is the best for you to buy? I give you an abstract of what I found in the following pdf and some blog I read around...

the % is the detection rate

Kaskperky (paid) 50%

F-Secure's Mobile Security (paid) 50%

Antivirus free (free) 0% - 0 %

Bluepoint (free) 1% - 10 %

Kinetoo (free) 6% - 10%

...

Zoner (free) 32% - 80%

I leave you with a very nice reading on topic:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbisch:
I don't feel they're needed. I look at it the same way I do with my computer. I've never had an antivirus program and I've never had a virus. IMO they're for people who don't have common sense about what they should and should not be downloading/installing.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amyslee:
I only install trust apps, some of antivirus apps will turn down performance.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roofrider:
Yea they kinda affect the performance for me too. And lookout never detected any kind of virus for me at all.

Wud definitely like to know more abt this.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nospin:
No, they aren't needed. If you blindly download apps in the market, specifically "Random hot girl sexy" apps, you might want to. But malware doesn't magically appear on your phone, YOU put it there. Download trusted apps from trusted devs and you will always be fine.

That said, I do use Lookout primarily for the GPS tracking.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leckstore:
I'm actually using Lookout Mobile but it never found any virus or malware but i'm scary that someday i get infected just because i wasn't with an antivirus
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ebe_robert:
I think Anti virus programs are not required for android phones, as it just uses resources (data, ram, processing power etc). :)

You'll be fine without them as long as you're careful ;)

I've been using my Android mobile without anti-virus for about 9 months now, but never had a virus. :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickyzone:
I always thought about it this way. Free options are better than nothing, especially when they offer other services like lost phone wipeing or tracking. Yeah you could go your whole life without ever getting a virus. However, it has been proven they exist. So why risk it? You wouldn't sleep with a strange person without protection, don't let trust your phone to strange apps without some sort of protection. And on newer phones, the dip in resources is usually nill. So again, why gamble when you don't have to...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roofrider:
When the user is careful antivirus is not need is what everyone is saying but...is there even a single instance of a malware being detected properly? Or has everyone been really that careful!!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spondbob:
hmm, i thought i should install antivirus on my device, look like the virus on android is growing
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roofrider:
Just uninstalled my lookout cuz it was eating way too much ram.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svtfmook:
not needed. you get a virus (IF), reset to factory
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djice000:
No their not needed....slows the phone dramatically, your never going to get a virus on your phone that will eat away at your files....or render it unusable. The worst you will get is a bit of malware, if that happens, factory reset....problem solved :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MxFadzil92:
if you know what you're doing and pretty confident of yourself then i dont think you will need it. but if you dont know what youre doing or for the sake of protecting your phone then i think you do need. mistakes are unavoidable and its better to play safe.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roofrider:
In that case can someone suggest an antivirus that runs light?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sheitx:
Hello everyone;

I don't know about your devices; but i think it's needed.

Well; 1st we all know that each day we offer our privacy to several companies; so they can profit somehow.

Anyways i like to keep my stuff clean. I rooted my device after buying it.

As some may know there's and app to root; that installs the Super User on the device. For my surprise after rooting my Anti Virus gave me 2 warnings. (I use Zoner as it doesn't slow my device "drastically" as you say. To tell the truth i dont feel any difference).

Seems like the Super User had a virus or something else. I Removed the Super User with Zone and instaled from the Android Market and so far... I'm Clean!!! ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garychencool:
Better safe than sorry

Got zoner antivirus free. Tested others, this one used the least amount of course, ram is debatable and didn't take a toll on start up times.

What is the Fastest ROM and Kernel out there for the Desire S ?

-Sense Rom and

- CM7 Rom
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
This question has been asked too many times

But to answer the question, go for oxygen or cyanogenmod if you want speed

Use tiamat for overclocking or just stick with the cm kernel. I found it didn't really make a difference
[HTC Desire S] bingobadgo:
I am very pleased with my current combination of Tiamat and Miui, its very fast and smooth with zero glitches or crashes.
[HTC Desire S] jens96:
i only found a Desire Version of the Oxygen Rom, can i take this version ?
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
No you cannot. Do not try it.

Here is the link for oxygen.

There is still one issue but if that bothers you try out cyanogenmod.

[HTC Desire S] MarlX:
I am using CM7 for a while now. I think it's pretty good. Also, flashed Tiamat kernel an hour ago. Seen some YT videos saying that this kernel is fast and gives battery a good run. Well, I'll hope it's all true. :)

Of you decide to go with sense, I recommend sense 3.5 ROM as they are significantly faster than sense 3.0 ROMs

[HTC Amaze 4G] tedya:
I am having difficulties connecting my Amaze to my corporate WiFi. It gets stuck in the endless "authentication" loop. Authenticating, disconnecting. Authenticating, disconnecting. And so on and so forth. It simply won't connect even though my IT department has verified that my login credentials are correct.

Has any one else run into this issue? This is very annoying.

Thanks in advance!

Tedy...
[HTC Amaze 4G] Spovik:
Most corporate WiFi use MAC filtering as well. Since you looped in your IT department I wouldn't think they'd consider that, but it's something to try if not.

Settings > About > Hardware info > Wi-Fi MAC Address

The next thing to consider is that the ports used for wifi calling may also be blocked by default, as well as UDP, too.

Good luck regardless...
[HTC Amaze 4G] PGMMA:
I had the same problem until I updated my phone by going to settings/ about/ htc updates. After the update it connected first time and stayed connected.
[HTC Amaze 4G] lester1:
I OTA updated to .6 from .5 but still experience the same Authenticating loop the OP posted connecting to the WPA2 Enterprise Wi-fi. It seems like it's experiencing a timeout after 30 -50 minutes of inactivity. Typically, after turning wifi off then back on resolved this but it becomes a pita.

Also, when it's stuck authenticating (and not connected), TMO data is not enabled as well - the end result is no data connection at all and no synching is achieved. That's my experience any ways...

Just wanted to add - My home wifi (WPA2 Personal) is flawless!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Totòòò:
I use WiFi Advanced Configuration Editor free app from the market works great when it comes to corporate wifi.
[HTC Amaze 4G] tedya:
Yes, this is exactly what is happening. Even after the update, it won't connect.

Now, if we could just get the update for WiFi Calling.

And... yes. I've got Internet Sharing available.

Now waiting for the last Microsoft update to fix exchange troubles. (7740)

Another thing. My phone is unlocked by official ChevronWP7 Labs and interop-unlocked. All these are kept without troubles after update.
[Omnia 7 General] ballajalla:
Great news!

Hi, any improvements?

Is your device banded or not?

What is your carrier?

Better yet, if you have unlocked your phone, check the value here:

HKLM\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo\MobileOpe rator="Your carrier name should be here"
[Omnia 7 General] PubERB:
Well. My phone is from Movistar Spain carrier and it's factory unlocked & unbranded. The original string in MobileOperator is "FON-ES".

Because as Movistar ever has been the last in all updates, from 7004 version, I had "000-88" at the registry to be able receive all updates until Mango. Today I read that Movistar was deploying Mango update, and only for test I tried putting again the original string at the registry and "voilá", I received an update from Samsung with those results.

The last week with 000-88 I received a little update form Samsung putting my firmware from 2424.11.8.5 to 2424.11.8.9, but nothing more. I didnt receive the second part.

It's soon to say something about improvements. In a couple of days, I'll put comments about this. I hope battery had been improved, because with Mango I had to disable a lot of push notifications to save battery.
[Omnia 7 General] ballajalla:
Thanks for your reply. Yes please report back with your findings regarding battery usage, and reception/wifi problems if you had that.
[Omnia 7 General] chemeng:
YES!!! I can confirm that I'm running on latest OS version 7.10.7740.16

and latest firmware / radio / bootloader 2424.11.11.1 / 2424.11.9.1 / 5.11.0.3

I had stucked to the KI3 SFR-FR fw update (via WP7 cab sender) and I could not update via Zune (or WP7 cab sender) to the latest firmwares (via Regedit of OperatorName, KI4 and so on). Even the OS update to 7740.16 failed via Zune.

So those stuck on SFR-FR, flash 7740.16 cab with WP7 cab sender, change your regisrty HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/Platform/DeviceTargetingInfo/MobileOperator/ to FON-ES and update via Zune.

PubERB thanks for the heads up for this update. If you want you can try WP7 cab sender and get the newest cab for the os to get the 7740.16 os version.
[Omnia 7 General] StefanBN:
Did this firmware update, fix the stupid color banding?
[Omnia 7 General] chemeng:
I haven't experienced the 16bit banding issue since NoDo. After the Mango update, throughout the os, e.g. lock-screen wallpaper, I see no banding except for some 3rd party apps. I'm not quite sure though if it is because I carried the registry fix-hack over Mango, I can't recall if I updated with the hack activated. But I don't have any red screens. If you would tell me where to look for banding, I'll let you know (I'll check the registry as well to see if there are edits)
[Omnia 7 General] StefanBN:
I've had the banding, even before NoDo. The only place where I don't have any banding is in a zoomed picture...

It is really annoying, you can't really watch videos because it looks disorted. :(

I have my phone Interpop unlocked, and the editing in registry doesn't work..

I don't really care if I have the banding on the lockscreen, or in Internet Explorer, I just can't bear it in Zune..
[Omnia 7 General] boril:
I did exactly the same changed from 000-88 to FON-ES MobileOperator in Registry and now I have firmware / radio / bootloader 2424.11.11.1 / 2424.11.9.1 / 5.11.0.3 and Internet Sharing
[Omnia 7 General] Scampy71:
Hmm, I've got 7740 and the updates that give me Internet Sharing but my Firmware and Bootloader version numbers are older than that :-S

Mine is a German T-mobile phone.
[Omnia 7 General] babenec:
Same troubles with BOTH WIFI AND 3G ON. Even the newest FW 2424.11.11.1 for FON-ES doesn´t help. IE9 uploads (3G OFF) became faster but the problem persists.

I also suspected Interop-Unlock from the wifi malfunction and applied the new Heatcliff77´s Samsung Repair 3G.xap afterwards. That worked for my Omnia 7 and is worth of try.
[Omnia 7 General] tooly26:
i try it yesterday...very nice firmware and allshare working with it...but i went back to 2424.11.9.2 because everytime when i turn internet sharing on and then off my data connection not work..what helps is to turn wifi off and again on then it works again....but thats a bad solution 4 me....i think wait 4 sausung:) is now the best think ...hopfully they update the non branded omnia 7 with new firmware...:D
[Omnia 7 General] babenec:
I have an unlocked Omnia 7 - btw of German origin - and do not experience any problems after sharing the internet. Phone restores its wifi/3G connection smoothly on 2424.11.11.1 firmware. A forced installation of wifi hotspot was made before upgrading to 24.24.11.1, however.
[Omnia 7 General] tooly26:
Ok...how do u enable tethering...with diag mode or with the xap from here?

Sent from my OMNIA7 using Board Express
[Omnia 7 General] PubERB:
Well. After several days from my update, I had to say that all my troubles are gone now.

-Better battery life.

-AllShare runs ok now.

-Internet sharing works without troubles.

-Compass very accurate.

-Smoother interface.

Nothing to say about 16bits banding. I can't see it. I know is disabled by default due to battery saving, but 32 bits can be activated by the applications when they need it, for example by picture editors.

I'm not hurry with 7740 update. I can wait for it.
[Omnia 7 General] StefanBN:
I also got this update, after changing in registry. The battery charges faster, alot faster. But nothing else has changed.. the banding is still there, I don't care about other apss, I just need the default apps to work in 32 bit, but well..
[Omnia 7 General] PubERB:
I'm not sure, but I think you can activate 32 bits touching the registry. Maybe not with this update, but you could try.
[Omnia 7 General] StefanBN:
Already tried it, but you can't force 32 bit on Mango, only worked on NoDo :(
[Omnia 7 General] babenec:
Diag... See the tutorial in the following thread: Mango Internet Sharing/Tethering - Omnia 7/Focus Tutorial Added to OP. The opening post.

What is difference between the Cm7 nightly and weekly rom and which one is better?

Do i need to take care switching from Nightly to weekly or just flash and do the 2 wipes?
[Atrix 4G General] G-Man.:
You're better off just staying on the latest build, and not using the nightly or weekly builds. These are not considered 'stable, daily driver' builds, and are aimed at the more experienced user who doesn't shudder at the thought of soft-bricking, or losing data.
[Atrix 4G General] WiredPirate:
Agreed. Although I have to add that I've been on Weekly 2 w FP for almost a week with no issues, and the best battery life is the best I have ever had!
[Atrix 4G General] G-Man.:
How does the FP work in your build? I've heard mixed reviews about it.
[Atrix 4G General] blexoz:
I got the nightly build and my browser is crashing sometimes.

Is the stable one (no nightly ) the weekly build?

If yes why does it say that the fingerprintscanner is not working or is it not updatet yet?
[Atrix 4G General] henrys01:
I've had no problem with any of the nightlies I've run. Also no need to wipe when switching between cm7 builds. I haven't wiped since the first pre-beta.
[Atrix 4G General] redhawk79:
The thread "No Nightly Ba2tf" is the current stable and there is a thread for weekly builds courtesy of the atrix-dev-team in the development section. Nightlys are on the get.cm download site.

I normally run nightlys with limited problems and haven't tried a weekly yet but was thinking about it. Most people just stick with the stable builds from the first thread I mentioned
[Atrix 4G General] WiredPirate:
Works great for me, better than blur!! Its more responsive, you can swipe upside down (imagine holing the phone sideways and just swiping your left index finger the "wrong" way and being able to unlock), And it works as a trackball. Very cool.:)
[Atrix 4G General] blexoz:
I flashed today the weekly build and wanted to try the FP somehow the phone turned off and the motorola logo was showing after turning on.

It was really weird, so i flashed the stable one and i still get browser forcecloses sometimes and that really annoys me.

No force closes here. Maybe you need a fresh flash with wipes.

HW 0003

radio sw 5.69.09.05a_22.50.50.21U

radio hw A.102.0.D4

Going into settings-> wifi will either show no networks, or some neighbours networks but not seemingly ours (I can't tell with the open BT networks as they're everywhere..), despite us having

First AP 802.11g 2.4Ghz

- WPA2 AES (not hidden) network

- WEP (not hidden) network

Second Ap 802.11n 2.4 Ghz

- WPA2 AES (not hidden) network

- Open (not hidden) network BT_Openzone

- Open (not hidden) network BTFon

Other than trying a full reset any ideas?

(Am a win7 newbie -- have SGS2/android myself)

This has worked reliably before..

We have plenty of wireless devices including 3 other phones happily using & seeing all the networks.
[Trophy General] planetf1:
Sorted it.

for some reason both APs were on channel 13. All our other devices are fine by this, but for some reason the WP7 device is not supporting it. Not sure why.

Changed one of the APs, and removed the additional ssid & can now connect ok.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Camaros_Kill:
are you wiping everything, including data, and both caches when you install the rom? and how are you restoring the apps? titanium or something similar? or just downloaading straight from the market? if ur using titanium, make sure ur not restoring system settings OF ANY KIND.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goan0900:
i would say the same

make a full wipe, install the rom and backup with titanium market without system settings
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackwell86:
Well I've used the revolution HD full wipe.zip which I would have thought wipes everything.

When it comes to restoring apps I've used my backup root and I've only backed up apps and media not system setting. Once I've restored them I've updated them to latest version if possible and tried to reinstall them which also didn't make a difference.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong.....
