[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
I would recommend AV for only the remote lock, wipe, and gps features in case of theft/loss. There are other, non AV apps that do this too though. Such as Seekdroid.
[Motorola Droid 3] ebaysnyper:
Lol. Ithingy...
[Motorola Droid 3] gbarayah:
+1 for Seekdroid

Haven't had to put it to use thankfully but if my phone ever does get stolen, I feel bad for the poor fellow who gets his hands on it... Very powerful app! Can remotely track the device, activate an alarm if you've lost it at home, lock the phone remotely and even do a full wipe, all from your web browser. Currently inside my house and it locates me to an accuracy of 4 meters... And the BEST part, IMO, you can HIDE it from the app drawer on the phone itself!

And as mentioned earlier, Antivirus is not needed. 99.9% of apps that come through the Market are safe.
[Motorola Droid 3] Zoibster:
Thank you all. I am aware that there are hardly any viruses out there for android devices, but i am currently in the midst of trying.. keyword: trying to root my phone, and i dont want to put any viruses from the files i download from the PC, onto my beloved smartphone, so once again thanks guys

and if any one has some free time and would be willing to guide me through the process of getting rid of bloatware (ive already rooted my phone, and backed up everything i just dont know what to do next) i would be willing to ship 10$ =)
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
Download Script Manager from the market, then run one of the debloating scripts in the dev section. There's one by psouza and another one, I used the other one. It has options to keep certain apps in the script.
[Motorola Droid 3] Zoibster:
Dphwhitty, ive done that in the past, downloaded script manager, ran both scripts, neither one of them worked saying i had a syntax error. But thanks anyways man
[Motorola Droid 3] calash:
The 2011 version also has real-time driver distraction monitoring, ID 10-T error updating, and for some reason a toolbar.
[Motorola Droid 3] techimanu:
I think AV is good enough. Added feature is that you get remote wipe if your phone ever gets lost.

Thanks

FYI common sense doesn't protect you from things such as exploit and web script based infections.
[Motorola Droid 3] Izeltokatl:
I personally use Lookout. But honestly its not something you need to worry about too much, yet. But I'm sure its going to be a problem next year. Play it safe and only install apps that have high install counts on the market and high ratings.
[Motorola Droid 3] beard0:
That's the 2012 version that covers that ;)

[Motorola Droid 3] Cdjones187:
Well, unless you are doing A LOT of side loading (installing non market apps) from random sites or are using pirated applications there is absolutely no need for anti-virus on a linux based system..

You as the end user are 100% in control of what apps gain permission and using common sense by looking at what permissions your giving said applications is up to you to decide.

The only virus I've heard of was found in china and pretty sure it was a side loaded application and it would steal data like phone numbers and e-mail addresses and the person was selling the information to spam sites.

Like I said though, if your just downloading apps from the android market your fine.

Your right, android already does that. Unless someone writes a script/exploit to get around asking permissions for root since the browser doesn't run as a root application. Android has very high security when it comes to web browsing. Remember, we are talking about linux.
[Motorola Droid 3] eww245:
In my opinion the best protection is a firewall, DroidWall does the job well.
[Motorola Droid 3] spunker88:
Most of the Android viruses come from warez sites. If you stick to apps from the Android Market and trusted 3rd party sites like XDA then you should be fine.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] babi_gurlx:
I got the update pushed to my phone yesterday and ever since there has been nothing but problems! First, the battery drains at a ridiculous rate. I unplugged it at 10:30 am and by 3:00 pm I was down to 60% without anything going on except 7 text messages. I can usually go 24 between charges. Second, the overall speed of the phone has slowed to a crawl. Web pages take forever to load, the app marked just hangs on the loading screen, and apps even take minuets just to open. Third, my phone randomly loses data connection. I cannot load any apps that require a data connection even when the wifi and 3G logo are showing with full bars. I get an error massage that says "connection failed" or "retry." it's so bad that when trying to sync notes or email my phone has the scroll wheel of death and freezes on that page. I've had the phone since thanksgiving and haven't done anything to it, its completely stock, I don't even know how to jailbreak it! I haven't had any issues whatsoever before I updated and now my phone is pretty much unusable. Is anyone else experiencing this? I need there to be an update to fix this update or for someone to tell me how to downgrade back to 2.3.4:mad:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
It isn't a problem with the download or the integrity check on the OTA would have failed and the upload wouldn't have proceeded.

It is likely what you said that the update didn't play well with what you had on the phone.

Personally I would backup your user data, ODIN the EG30 Factory Restore from the Wiki, then manually install the OTA update immediately afterwards. Make sure everything works then restore your *user apps* only. Don't restore EG30 system components.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] watchout5:
Check Battery Usage

Under Settings go to Applications ---> Battery Usage. Sometimes you can find a culprit there, sometimes you'll find something you should be turning off. Like one of the posts above mine though installing the stock EG30 and then upgrading to the EK02 would probably be your best route for a stable unrooted upgraded build. I would highly recommend something like StrongSteve's rom as my device is like a lightening bolt. :)
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magpir:

Everything is possible...

The fact is here on XDA that we have to be patient with all the improvements that the cooks are making.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGardner:
you also can do the following:

1. download and install a ROM of your choice!

2. disable 3G and data connection

3. disable location service

4. disable WLAN

5. disable Blutooth

6. disable Isharing

7. ONLY running a theme with dark background and green tiles!!!

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] commadante:
Hello, I have looked around the threads for possible solutions and have come up with none. I am currently using Telus Fascinate Galaxy S and currently running the stable CM7 with the Glitch kernel. I'm having troubles recieving text messages; it keeps telling me that there is full memory. The problem is that i have over 12GB of space on my sd card and it says 0.00B of space on the internal storage. I just flashed it and my internet works fine. Every other thread has found the solution in moving apps to the sd card but the difference with me is that I have no apps downloaded yet.. is there a known fix to this?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrManiacNF:
I had the same problem, did u flash the latest nightly by chance?? #181..

I don't know a fix persay, but if you free up some space in the /datadata, also found in /data/data, partition it will let your msgs come through.

-Maniac
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] commadante:
Thanks for the reply, once a flashed the nightly 181 i got my text messages working again, however, any downloads i try to make still send the "free up some space and try again". i cleared all the cache's, moved everything i could to my sd card (which still has plenty of space) and i changed all my settings to install external and unchecked internal storage, if i try download anything from the internet or from the market, nothing works
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] commadante:
I have now tried both MIUI and CM7 on my phone, both of them state that there is no internal memory (0.00B). Would there be a problem with the Glitch V13 kernal i'm using or is there a step in the flashing process i missed?

Ok I am guessing that you are now at the point of installing CWM. somtimes for some unknown reason in order to get the usb to connect you have to run rapitool.exe which will open a window for a split second and then run DAf.exe within CWM and then it connects and installs CWM. If its magldr that is not connecting then just run the bootloader inside of that folder and it will install it for you. GL

Yeah and sometimes you need to install WMDC (Windows Mobile Device Center) for recognizing your USB connector. Cause its not preinstalled on win machines. Install it for usb driver for your HD2 and you are good to go.

Also, have you had problems with the volume rocker on wm6.5 when you fist used the phone? It could be a hardware issue.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMegastar:
Guys! This is SERIOUS! EVEN AFTER UNINSTALLING the Samsung Push Service and the other Samsung Utility and also freezing the Samsung Apps using Titanium, the battery drain continues! Nothing has worked. Battery going from 100% to ZERO in less than 3 Hours! Does anyone know what is happening and how to stop this???

I think the only option left now is to reflash the ROM. I was on XWKK2 CF-Rooted which was working great till this damned Samsung Update! The battery is LOSING CHARGE even when plugged into my laptop! I don't know how I'll be able to get my battery back to 100% to reflash the Rom.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rexboy:
I have followed your advice of freezing samsung apps and samsungappsUNA via autorun manager.

Prior to that been using Rarity rom for weeks, great battery life, well over 24hrs with heavy use and then all of a sudden after updating some apps (the 2 above mentioneded werent part of that), my phone has started to heat up and the battery drain is very fast (5% in 30mins), before it would go few hours without 1% loss.

Trieed looking at the updated apps but no luck so have tried your advice before i reflash wipe which i dont want to so praying this works.

Even tried flashing different kernels but no luck.

*cheers for the advice, battery life seems to have gone back to normal :-)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jesrani:
I need an app for reminding me of upcoming birthdays and anniversaries. I need the following features :

1) Should allow to add birthdays and anniversaries for persons not in my contact list, for e.g. kids. I don't want to add them in contact list as they do not have telephone nos.

2) Should allow for import / export of say CSV files which I can edit on laptop and import into phone

3) Should give reminder one day earlier and on day of birthday or anniversary

I have tried number of apps but all have only access to contact list. Also did not find them very user friendly. Currently trying ZDClock but even that is not really what I want. Cannot edit file on laptop. If there is any app which also has a PC equivalent and both can be synched, nothing like it.

Would appreciate any suggestions.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] loSconosciuto:
As suggested you can use Google calendar. Create a new calendar, import your csv, then go in calendar settings->notifications and select as default reminders Pop-up. This will automatically add an alarm to every event on this calendar (alarm=notification in notification bar or sound or both, change it in Calendar app).

The problem of that is that if you add a new event to this calendar from your phone, you have to manually add the alarm, because the calendar app provided by Samsung by default set no alarm on new events (it ignores Google Calendar's setting).

However if you create the event from Google Calendar web page it will automatically add the alarm, so when you import your CSV it automatically add the alarm to all your events.

The advantage is that you don't have to import/export any CSV.

Yes, those words exactly.

I showed him my nexus, and he said that screen is not as good as the retnia display. We compared pictures and it made the iPhone look washed out. But he never changed his opinion because he said apple makes the best phones ever.
