Alert / Alarm - Problem

@svyat:

Yes - you did it absolutely how i did it by myself to reproduce the issue...

At the evening of 01.01.2012 i had 4 snoozed alerts... not just the two i had for some days.... there were 4 ...... :eek: *aaaarggg*

And that made me wondering more... because i had no changes in any settings on my phone .. and got from 2 snoozed alarms to 4 :eek: snoozed alarms while receiving an incomming call... :confused:

So i started thinking and remembered an issue i had with sending sms on my htc DHD some months ago... It was a known issue some htcs got some time....

I was not able to send some sms to some contacts... to other contacts sending sms was no problem...

This problem i could fix with a hard reset.. While the system normal running put of the akku for 8 - 10 mins...put the akku in.....and start...

Issue was solved...

And so i did it also last evening...

.......and the alarm issue was gone...!!!! Yiieeeeehaaaa....!!! :D

@ALL:

For the alarm-problem during an incoming call... make a hard-reset of your phone. I was very happy to solve the issue with an hard-reset...!!

Maybe this issue also could be avoided with installing the patch.......start normal.... REBOOT..... start normal.... and then install the app from the market.... REBOOT.. and then start customizing the app-settings...

(remembers me to early Microsoft Windows - times........ :D )

I remember, i installed the patch, started, downloaded the app and started customizing.... maybe that was the reason for my alarm-problems....

@svyat:

I just want to say thank you for developing such a great app like PDroid..!

This is a very powerfull and mighty security tool... and it makes the Android world more secure for the users.

My friends often call me security-freak, because of much firewalls, encrytions and so on on all devices.

(....and I pray for the day, when TrueCrypt is available for android-devices... :D .....at its best with pre-boot-authentication.... :D )

I appreciate much the power of PDroid....!

It is something i searched now for a period of time..!

All others like LBA and DroidWall have some things they do not cover... and / or not cover as good as PDroid does..!

If you have the time it is maybe possible, to make PDroid to the most powerfull security tool for Android-Devices...!

Me by myself.... i am not a developer, my daily business is leading and managing projects, consulting, custominzing and designing and so on..

I just can read a bit of code sometimes....

But it would be wonderfull to help you with some things i could do for the PDroid-project... maybe with testing or ideas....

This is something all security-addicted people need out there.... And it makes the world more secure for the users...!

Just let me make some ideas of improvement:

- The app needs a Button to deactivate temporarily all settings.... A button to set all settings "trusted".. and a button to set the (saved) settings back to the custominzation...

- I know you -at this moment- do not want to add network-features for some reasons... But if you could add in the settings of the rights for each process a option to controll the network-access. "Allow" or "Block".... this would make PDroid to a complete network-firewall with all privacy-options integrated.

That would be the most powerfull tool on all devices...

Why do you not want a "root" - app....? You write due to privacy/security reasons.... But for installing the patch root is required...

But ... when i look around... all really good and usefull apps need root.. and they can be controlled with the superuser app and so on...

And a firewall / privacy - tool with that might and power...... Why not...?

If any app has the reason and the need to get root-rights... then an app like such a powerfull security-tool...

Even DroidWall is not as detailed in network-access how it maybe can be realized with a "tuned" PDroid....

- A comfortable way to backup settings would be also a very good and helpfull feature.. i needed hours to finetune and controll the very much posibilities and settings PDroid offers... This work should be able to be comfortably saved... The "luxury-solution" would be backups with date and name directly from the app... This would offer the possibility to save different settings for different types of usage. Some Firewalls also offer this feature.

- A Log-File should be created.. additionally to the shown log-messages.... This would be great for many reasons..

So.. anyway.... these are just my ideas of improvement... just my opinions..

If you want some support in testing... ideas of improvement.... or anything else i can do for the gread PDroid-Solution.... just let me know and lets talk about .....

I wish you and all other readers of this a very good new year....! Just the best of all to you all....!
