It's really not htat big a deal, you can't load and credit/debit card but the citi one, and if they clear data that card is gone. If someone swipes your phone, my like your wallet you cancel/change your info and take the loss on any cash you might have had in the wallet, I don't see this being a big difference from loosing whatever cash was loaded on the pre-paid card. This is NOT something I would call a serious security flaw, a nuisance maybe. Save all serious security flaw business for when someone makes an app that will let then drain your pre-paid or any other card by bumping there phone against yours, really putting that NFC to good use.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MoeDaddy:
I don't find this as a big deal myself either, if you have your phone locked they have to get by that first and it is no worse than loosing your wallet not to mention most people wouldn't even know that you can do that if they found your phone...

That said all wallet needs to do is have you set up a pin when you first set up a wallet account and that pin stays with you, it is bound to your gmail, that way they would still need to know your pin when they reset the app. Personally that is how they should do it anyway but it is still relatively new so give it time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sm_x:
I think this might have something to do with the app being installed as a user app vs system app. System apps require higher privileges to modify I think. Plus, and I think this is important, if a "tech-savvy thief" get's physical access to your unprotected phone, wallet would be one of your many problems.

I don't know about you but my gmail is my life. If such a thief can access it, it would grand him/her enough access to reset my bank password, car insurance info, my valuable digital data, access to my email list (phishing attacks on people who trust emails that come from me), reset my facebook password, twitter, etc....

also there are many other equally important applications that you might install on your phone that rely on only the phone's security to protect your voluble data. I am sure you can think of more than one.

You also have no idea what a true hacker can do to a piece of technology, such as your phone, if they have unrestricted access to it. for example A hacker might be able to root your phone, dig into the system files for some saved unhashed password, deleted (but not overwritten) data, etc. I saw an article a while back about a few hackers in some university that can pull a password for an encrypted harddrive by reading it off the memory after they freeze it with liquid nitrogen (but I doubt you have anything on your worth that much trouble :D )

so in short, PUT A PASSCODE ON YOUR PHONE, if you really want to protect the data that is contained within it. The only other choice you have is to keep sensitive data out of your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bp328i:
Yes it would help (and stop the use of Google Wallet) because when loging into Google Wallet you have to select the gmail account (which the main gmail account on your phone is listed first) then you get an allow permissions accept page.

If you change your Gmail password then nothing on the phone that is based off your Gmail account works anymore. (I tried before posting) The Google Wallet/Money is based off your Gmail account, but the OP is basing the flaw off the owner of the phone not changing their password after the phone has been lost/stolen. It's great that this was pointed out but not a huge deal.

I have two Galaxy Nexii and have tried and Google Wallet will load my pre-paid card money on either phone as long as I put MY Gmail info in.

You could always use a program like UAG to PW protect that app if you dont want to PW protect your whole phone.
[HTC Amaze 4G] dutch_papi:
Hi everyone,

I searched the forums to see if anyone else was having bluetooth reception and range issues but came up short.

I'm having problems keeping my Plantronics Voyager Pro + headset connected to the phone. I usually have to have it within 3 feet of the phone, or I get a lot of static or BT disconnects completely. What's weird is I am able to stay connected up to 20 feet away with my Jabra bluetooth speaker. I recently bought a hard plastic case for the phone which made the problem a little worse, but not too much (5 feet range vs 3 or 4).

Anyone else having this issue? I just bought the phone on 12/17 and I think I have 30 days to exchange or return. Are there any fixes out there that have worked for anyone?

Thanks in advance for any comments or suggestions!

*** Update: I just re-paired my Voyager Pro + headset with my old HTC HD2 and was able to walk about 25 feet away from the phone (two walls in between) and had no static or disconnects. Must be the Amaze. ***
[HTC Amaze 4G] dave99999:
I've been using the Motorola S305, and I can be two rooms away, and still get good reception from the phone, so long as doors are open. Like every bluetooth headset I've used, getting my body between the phone and the headset is a problem (phone needs to be in a pocket on the same side of my body as the headset BT receiver). The quality of the bluetooth on this phone seems to be superior to that of my old N1. No complaints.
[HTC Amaze 4G] dutch_papi:
Thanks Dave. Are Bluetooth issues such as these hardware or software issues?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Totòòò:
Get new earphones.
[HTC Amaze 4G] dutch_papi:
I called T-Mobile and they said the bluetooth connectivity/range problem is a known issue for the Amaze 4G. HTC is currently working on a solution that will likely be resolved on the next software update.

Off I go to buy a set of wired earphones until they release it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] dave99999:
Curious--I wonder why I'm having no difficulties, then. I've connected the Amaze to my N1, the amaze to my ASUS Transformer, and the Amaze to my S305 headset, all with no problems.

Not all the profiles I'd like to see supported necessarily are (Can't get DUN to work), but I'm puzzled that there's apparently some problem.

It's interesting that your Voyager worked so well with the HD2.

On the Tmobile forums, there's certainly discussion:

Get the latest updates for you phone. Delete the pairing with your Bluetooth then pair again. I have a Jawbone Era and my reception was horrible. My reception is much better now after updating and pairing again, although I still have a long delay between phone and Bluetooth.

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mujeeb999:
If you are installing the rom using custom kernel, then the rom will not install even if you have latest firmware/baseband.

If you dont have latest baseband, Then put the baseband file you have downloaded to /flashtool/firmwares folder renaming the file .zip to .ftf , then flashtool will sure find the file.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilbso:
have you tried wiping your device before installing rom.

it also might be the fact that the repairman that fixed your phone might have swaped the motherboard you have for a different one that might have an old baseband or something...

hope it helped :)

*This is NOT a "Walkman" system image but the normal "X8" version!

Files mirrored on my minus account.

If you're on a older Baseband than 015 then you need to flash the baseband through Flashtool.

Edit: And do NOT flash the WRONG baseband ... if you, for example, flash the "i" firmware into a phone that requires "a" you will not be able to connect to the GSM/3G network unless you flash the correct one. Think trice before getting click happy.

Lol.. dont brick it again or at least wear vest or something before u flash firmware just for safety =))

i use link2sd btw and GDX v21 ..i formatted my phone yesterday via PCC
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B.Jay:
LOL, the last sentence was supposed to be funny, nothing more, nothing less. ;)

Anyway. Yes, it is safe to flash the baseband. This doesn't require boot loader unlocking as it's just the baseband (read: the genuine SEMC kernel and GSM radio software). The only mistake you could do here is that you flash the wrong one ("i" instead of "a" or the other way round).

IF something goes wrong here the worst case would be that the phone shows you the "Phone --- /!\ --- PC" picture on the screen meaning it's in download mode (same as Flash-Mode, though this is at a higher level of device intialization) as the firmware has a problem.

You need to partition AND format the SD card in CWM ...

(Edited for easier understanding)

i.e. let us assume you have a 4GB mSD ...

Create a 512MB or 1024MB partition for Apps to mSD storage

Partition the rest of the free space (either ~3.5GB or 3GB)

Format the 512MB/1024MB Partition meant for Apps->mSD in ext3 or ext4 (if applicable)

Format the second 3.5GB/3GB Partition in FAT32

Reboot ... OR ...

Turn off the phone and take out the mSD.

Put it into a card reader and copy the data back on your PC.

Put the card back into the phone, attach the back cover

Turn on your phone.

EDIT 2: Also, link2sd isn't required ... GingerDX and almost every other custom ROM already comes with "app2sd" by default ... you can set the default storage location in the CyangenMod Settings (Auto / Phone / SD) and you can move a app to the SD in the "Manage Applications" settings (tap on the application in the listing, select "Move to SD"). Be warned that apps having Widgets and apps that load during boot WILL break if you move them to the SD!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Woodyg1960:
Teenage daughter got a nook tablet for xmas. She registered it and has been using it. It has the 1.4.0 version on it as of 12:30 PM today. I did some research on this forum but still have questions

1) if I root the tablet do I lose the warranty? can i "unroot" if I needed to use the warranty. How do I root it?

2) I tried to download Torque pro(obd-2 software) and was unable to. Multiload kept showing up in my research here. I am a total novice and am trying to be able ti install some 3rd party apps but keep it as simple as possible.

3) if I root the device can my daughter still get her books etc from B and N. She had a nook ereader before this tablet............any and all help would be appreciated. TIA
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] albertwertz:
If you turn a rooted tablet in to Barnes and Noble they will not honor your warranty. if you unroot it and turn it in, that they can not detect has been rooted, they will honor it. Yes there is an easy unroot method. I demo it in my videos.

not all apps are compatible with the nook tablet, that is why it is easier to root and use market to filter. lessens the likelihood of installing an incompatible app but still may occur.

when you root, make sure you dont debloat and it should be fine. Still access to barnes and noble content.

I have the APK and the .odex file of the f***** camera,just need a way to install it. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madman:
if you picked it up from /system/app then you need to restore it in /system/app itself :p

backup your current working camera apk and odex [as you have]..

move modified files to /system/app and change permissions to rw-r--r-- as others then only it will work.. if it doesn't reocognise in first attempt after permissions then reboot and see if it works...

if it doesn't simply means modifications don't work:D --> restore

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] jjboogie:
Hi, just got an Ace for Christmas, it has Android 2.3.3. I was able to mount it in Archlinux over bluetooth, using:

obexfs -b mac_address mountpoint

After I run that command, on the phone I get a notification asking if it's okay to pair with my computer, and I accept. BTW there's a radio-button "Allways allow" but it's greyed out and I can't activate it, any ideas?

However I can navigate through the folders from my computer, but in DCIM/Camera I see no files. However with the app "My Files" from the phone I can see the .jpgs are there. If I long click on them and then select "Details", the last entry says "Bluetooth visibility" and it's set to off, but if I click on it it doesn't change - it remains on off.

How can I see the files from my linux box over bluetooth?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] jjboogie:

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] hyperplus:
jjboogie, I am trying to achieve the same,and obexfs seems to be the right way of doing this. Seems the missing part the FTP Server in the Atrix needs to be on. I read that from another post and I am trying to figure what that means. (http----ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11593617#post11593617)

Good links:

http----dev.zuckschwerdt.org/openobex/wiki/ObexFs----

https----wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bluetooth#Pairing----

(sorry for the dashes.. forum rules)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] hyperplus:
Good news! got it working!

This is what I found / understand:

In order to use obexfs, the phone's obexftp functionality needs to be enable. Some phones includes obexftp and you can enable it in advance bluetooth setting. But the Atrix doesn't include obexftp.

So the solution is you need an app that has obexFTP server. For this I use the "Bluetooth File Transfer" app from the market. After the server is runing, you can run the obexfs commands (ie. obexfs -b 40:FC:89:02:11:17 /mnt/mb860)

Summarized steps:

1) Pair the Atrix with the PC

2) Install "Bluetooth File Transfer" on the phone

3) Make sure Bluetooth FTP server is on

- click on the bluetooth tab

- hit phone button for menu --> More --> Setting --> Sharing Service (FTP)

- here you can set the FTP server as you need

4) Mount the phone to the PC

Let me add..

There is also another FTP Server program called: "ES File Explorer"

Don't know which is better, so trying them now...

I also did notice significant battery drain from having the FTP Server on

What's your favorite Contacts / People Widget? (HTC Sense replacement)

The HTC Sense Contacts / People widget is probably THE BEST one I've seen to date.

It looks really clean and polished!

Can sync with groups you already have set up on your Gmail Contacts

It *does not* cause ANY WAKE LOCK problems!

It syncs FB updates

It only syncs when you view the widget, hence, no WAKE LOCK issues!

Has anyone found anything that comes close to this? So for, I've found "Android Pro Widgets" but it's not quite as polished or FB friendly as the HTC Sense widget.

However, it sits on updating signature for a while then tells me "ERROR [130]: MODEL ID ERROR The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone.

2. Compose #PW+CODE+7# or #PW+CODE+1#

The letter P appear after press 3 times quickly the button star ( * )

The letter W appear after press 4 times quickly the button star ( * )

The letter + appear after press 2 times quickly the button star ( * )

But I'm not able to type P nor W. Not even with the method of the button star.

Any hint?

Thanks!
