There's a bit of malware out and about on Android. Monitoring permissions is one thing, but then there are apps that can piggyback on another app's permissions, making it hard to be sure of an app's trustworthiness every time.

There's also the frustrating reality that enthusiasts, like those on XDA, often think they're smart enough (simply by virtue of knowing what kernel means) to be above the risk of malware. These are often the same people who dive headfirst into a user's brand new first ROM the first 10 minutes it's out, and ROMs don't ask for permissions.

Hackers are much more likely to take huge risks installing mystery code based purely on a presumed trust in the XDA 'fraternity'.

Then there are regular apps on the market for, like, an sms widget, that will naturally ask for permissions to read/send texts, access contacts, etc, and those permissions unlock any number of invisible behaviors that may not be caught for weeks. *shrug*

So yeah, govt and corp people distributing handsets to employees will use AV software, as will many regular users, because it's easier and more convenient (and cheaper, in the case of employees) that training yourself or someone else to comprehend permissions and good awareness.

Though there will always be toddlers in the computing community who rant and rage about how people should fully understand what a computer does before being allowed to use it...but that childish RTFM attitude is what keeps Linux on fewer home PCs than Microsoft Bob has been on.

So, in my attempts to screw att, i have decided to utilize openvpn permanently. openvpn works fine on my skyrocket, however when i enable tethering, the connected device does not work.

I can connect to the phone via ip with no issues, but no routing beyond.

I am using redirect-gatewAy, and have the routes setup on the sever side, but no luck so far.

Anyone accomplished this yet?

Guys,

I have recently installed latest Cobratos's MiUI. Once i completed installing, i tried to connect my Xperia X10 to the laptop, but whenever i tried to connect, it didnt get connected.

I thought to again roll back to WB 6 which i was using earlier. So when i booted into xrecovery, when i went to the option Install Custom Rom from SD card, i clicked on it, but an error popped up, cannot Mount SD card.

I am very frightened, can you please let me know how can i rollback to WB 6.

Please guide me ASAP....

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rlanza1054:
Hi all,

Of course I'm a newbie here.

I'm a former Precentral webos person who finally made the jump over to Android.

So far I am loving it, the only thing I really miss is the true multitasking, which seems to get in the want of working like I did on the Pre.

But I've moved on...

Anyway, when on the Pre it was so much easier to get into developer mode and make changes to the OS, it seems a bit more crypt and more involved here. So I am trying to be extra careful, which is why it's taken more 3 or so month before even attempting what I believe is the simplest of procedures. Just to root, no custom roms yet for me.

I followed the instructions over in the 'eg30Auto' thread that was recommended on Android Central.

I have everything ready and installed.

So now my issue is the stupid USB thing.

The instructions are to keep the USB debugging on! That was easy, I just went into settings and selected the check box.

But then next part of the instructions is the 'disable' the usb connection.

That is where I seem to be having trouble.

When I plug my phone in, under notifications, it's saying USB Connect (MTP).

I touch that which I thought would trigger it to become disabled. But that does not work.

And now I don't know how to disable that usb connected.

I did the 'runfirst' under the eg30auto directory and in the command prompt screen is it saying it's waiting for a device to be connected?

So that's where I'm stuck at, I'm not sure how to turn off this USB connected thing.

I did install the Samsung USB drivers which I believe I was supposed to.

So I'm at a loose right now and need your help!

Thanks guys!

Rob (if it makes it easier, I would welcome a private voice call).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
If you enabled USB debugging, I believe it should disable MTP mode.

There is a mode where the internal /sdcard is made available as USB mass storage (ie you plug it into your PC and it becomes available as a *drive letter*). This is what the second part is asking you to disable, because if the internal /sdcard is made available as a drive on your PC, it is not accessible from within Android.

Note, MTP mode and USB mass storage mode are not the same. The former will show up on your PC but not have a drive letter. Mass Storage mode will show up as a drive letter.

If you are having trouble with the USB connection w/r/t auto root see FAQ #E3 in the second post of that auto root thread. There is a debugging checklist there.

e3) Why is the install stuck waiting for device to be connected?

I actually think i'm going to either:

-bring my samsung back for fixing

-sell my samsung and buy a more reliable phone

-cry in a corner.

I've had the home button problems since a few months or so...

Sometimes it won't react at all when i press it, sometimes it brings up the voice control, sometimes it'll lag for 2 seconds...

I tried a factory reset, tried updating, tried uninstalling voice apps and nothing works...

If anyone has any tips i don't know of please let me know before i send it for replacement because this is unacceptable on a €600 phone.

Any help is appreciated
[Galaxy S II General] Mesquire:
You may have dusts stuck under the button. Try this trick I used to loosen my iPhone's home button:

1) turn the phone upside down

2) tap the button with your finger nail a few times firmly (but not very hard as it can damage the circuitry underneath)

3) wipe the edges of the button with a moist tissue or cloth

4) wipe the button dry with a dry tissue or cloth
[Galaxy S II General] Riqz:
are you serious...?
[Galaxy S II General] mr mystery:
How about RMA and have it repaired/replaced?
[Galaxy S II General] Riqz:
Definetly looking to replace it right now. Not satisfied at all.

If i do get it RMA'd can i leave it rooted? Should i unroot it?
[Galaxy S II General] TechWizard:
Wiggle

:)

Have you tried to wiggle it a bit then blow it gentley?
[Galaxy S II General] cuhrazy:
That's what she said. :D
[Galaxy S II General] TechWizard:
True but maybe blowing it a little or a light vac may help disperse any particles if thats the cause mate :)
[Galaxy S II General] supermult:
Yep, the home button really is ****ing crap. Mine doesn't work at all since month. I found a work around (using a volume button as home button, but its a shame for samsung)

I tried to send in it but they told me that it's a moisture damage (a lie if you would ask me) and they aren't able to repair it even if i'd pay for it.

So my next phone will have as few moving parts as possible.
[Galaxy S II General] bluefa1con:
have my gs2 for about 4months now i use home button a lot and have no problem

i even use it gym and some time it gets sweaty still no damage

you have a faulty unit i think
[Galaxy S II General] Riqz:
i think i would sell mine if they sent it back for that reason
[Galaxy S II General] vcosmin:
yeah, a blow always help. at least for moral.

but depends on who is giving to who the blow :cool:

now seriously, mine got including in my daughter's hands while she was eating so a lot of moisture god onto the button and it's still working.

and by the way, they are forced by the law to fix it, at least for money, because the law, at least in UE is forcing them to offer post warranty support.

Basically they will change the mother board.
[Galaxy S II General] gavinlew:
I had the same issue with stock rom reflashed with oxygen and miui and not experienced it since, coincidence maybe?
[Galaxy S II General] Mesquire:
Totally.

My iphone's home button stopped responding after about 6 months and I was about to return it for replacement. The button's responsiveness is still like new to this day after "cleaning" - the unit is 15 months old and counting.
[Galaxy S II General] tEsT_MaStEr:
sometimes it'll lag for 2 seconds...

This case is normal because Samsung is code home btn to wait for double click (so it can bring up a voice command) so it have a delay time to wait for it.

Btw you can disable it by using jkay to disable home btn double click.
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Had the same issue as OP.

I went to the customer care center here and complained (which was a pain in the azz), then finally stood there until they reacted. Overall, they ordered a new screen and took care of it.

It took about 5 days for it to be replaced. I had the device until then of course.
[Galaxy S II General] mcrane1981:
Try button saviour from the market.
[Galaxy S II General] marcadam:
If you bought the phone in the UK you are protected by the Sale of Goods Act 1979 which you should mention to the retailer. If this isn't the case I'm sure there are repair shops that could fit a new button relatively cheaply, that is if the blow job trick doesn't work :p
[Galaxy S II General] Gorjess:
turn the device off, remove the battery and spray a bit of contact cleaner on the home button gaps.. it should work then :cool:

[Galaxy S II General] Riqz:
You guys are not gonna believe this.... But after hitting the home button hard 50 times or so (street fighter IV style) and blowing and sucking... today it hasn't had a problem yet... ahahha

I'm guessing it's just fluke.

Somebody mentioned JKAY to disable the 2 click homebutton press?? i can't find it on the market.

Edit: i just looked for it and it looks like a ROM. i'm not gonna put a custom rom on my phone just for that. I can't stand another software reset.

Isn't there any other way to disable double click homebutton? (not to be confused with double tap which is something completely different)
[Galaxy S II General] JadeMonkee:
I'm in the process of sending my phone off for repairs.

I would love to know if the issue really is just caused by dust.

Can you let us know if the button stops working again?

I'm about to try your technique of pressing/blowing/sucking (and other titillating actions) the button, to see if it works...
[Galaxy S II General] Riqz:
The bug came back unfortunately meaning it is NOT dust. I solved it though... Or i think i did.

This PROVES that it is a software problem and not hardware. I installed JKAY theme to disable the double homebutton click. (Samsung has a delay on the homebutton for doubleclicking). And now the problem just VANISHED. And there's no button lag. I click the button and the app is put in background. Beautiful.

Try it before sending it to repairs.

Follow this guide:

[Galaxy S II General] JadeMonkee:
Hrmm... I'm not sure if it *is* a software fault on mine, as the button won't work to wake the phone from sleep, either, which I would imagine isn't caused by the phone waiting for a double-tap.

Also, if I click the button with pressure nearer the bottom half (like I used to always do) it doesn't respond. However, if I click it with more pressure focussed on the the upper half, it works pretty much every time.

It may still be some dust/hair jammed in there, but I think I'll have to send off the phone for repair.

Will have to find a spare phone first.

Such a bummer.

Thanks a billion for your help, though.
[Galaxy S II General] Riqz:
sorry to hear that mate. It seems like you have a different problem to mine. I can tell you that mine has ALWAYS woken up at first tap of the homebutton. Unresponsiveness came in the apps when it was already unlocked. Probably because it kept waiting for the second click... good luck

Hello,

I've been trying to remove the emulated CD-ROM drive that pops up when you plug in the Triumph via USB. My car's head unit detects that device first instead of the USB mass storage, and thus I can't use my phone for music via USB.

I've done a search on the forums, read the two threads I found on the subject, and removed the custom.iso from the /hidden directory. I've even installed CM7 hoping the formatting done to the cache, data, and system would wipe it. However it still pops up on connection via USB.

This is the second time on 2 different roms that somehow my phone has been stuck with a black screen and when unlocked the screen stays off.

I assure you you're not getting 4G speeds. Your device does not have the hardware needed to receive these speeds. 4G and 3G is NOT software... so, not being 4G, you're definitely not getting it. It's just the ROM you're running. Despite icons, your phone is running as usual.
