I'm going to go with a tentative yes. Since it has a 12v output, however I'd check out this one:

amazon.ca/Energizer-XP8000-Universal-Adapter-External/dp/B0029U2WZU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1328748112&sr=8-1

People on another forum had a long discussion on the subject and the consensus that was reached was that it was the best off the shelf option.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] jschall:
I don't think you will be able to plug that one into your tablet - the plug for the A100 is a rare one.

Check this discussion for all the gory details:

www.acertabletforum.com/forum/acer-a100-accessories/1404-external-battery-a100-3.html

I finally ordered this one:

http://www.expansys.ca/energizer-xp8000-universal-power-adaptor-221031/

You then have to order the correct adapter (NP12) for free from the manufacturer. It's an excellent product.

But isnt USB charging all 5 volt, and our device is 12 volt. How can that cable charge an A100???
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] jschall:
Yeah, @leftovermagic, that cable won`t help much with the Evo power pack that shotgun4 was asking about.

And American links aren't filthy, they're just not accessible to the rest of the world.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] leftovermagic:
Ah, excuse my ignorance. Sorry.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] NoSudo:
When I was at the local Radio Shack they had "G" type(I think it is) connectors that can go onto the ends of the charge adapters they sell. Fry's has the same stuff. Its just the little connector end you attach it to the wire your self. Im guessing as long as you have 12v supply that will deliver around 1.5A and a pos and neg wire you could just one of those. Its the same end as is on the universal car chargers folks are using from Walmart.

I have been wanting to find a small solar pannel or somthing for camping and such.

No

Hehe no worries man. I didn't think about that or realize it my self until I went to buy an adapter and looked at the specs on the wall charger. I had guessed it would be 5v like most other small portable devices too. ;)
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Shotgun4:
so overall , do we have an external battery charger we could use with this tablet?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] jschall:
As I said in post #3,

http://www.expansys.ca/energizer-xp8...daptor-221031/

It's pricey, but it works well.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Shotgun4:
OK thanks sounds like a plan. I will go with this and post back on a review how it work out. Thanks guys for all the help.

Anker Astro 3 battery backup pack

Bought an Anker Astro 3 (10000 mAh battery pack from Amazon (has 9v/12v option) for $59. Bought a special cable for the Anker to Acer Iconia from Edosupply on Ebay for $8.50.

Charges my A500 from <10% to 100% in ~ 100 mins with the switch set to 12v. Nice

The Ebay description says that the cable can be used "for Anker External Battery fit Acer ICONIA Tab A500 A501 A200 A100". Mine works for my A500 so I suppose it should work for the rest?

I wanted to share my experience with an external powerbank for the A100.

My main issue was, I need something like the Ankor, but that product wasn't available for me to buy in Australia. Amazon sellers wouldn't ship the item, nor at a reasonable price.

So instead, I bought something similar, which I bought out of China (Ebay). It works perfectly, and the powerbank can be used on other USB charging items which require 2A 5V power (HP Touchpad, etc). Perfect for when we travel with multiple mobile phones, tablets, etc.

For the Powerbank, I bought this: 10000mah Powerbank

For the cable for the A100, I bought this: 2pcs Short DC 5 5x2 1mm Female TO 3 0x1 1mm Cable | eBay

Again, both work perfectly for the A100, and all my other charging needs. :o

Car charger

I am looking for a way to use it in the car. I first tought on going with 120v converter and use its usual wall charger but i would prefer something more integrated.

I've looked into this:

http://www.amazon.ca/Psa18r-120p-Ad...1394232288&sr=8-6&keywords=iconia+car+charger

But it seems rock cheap and I expect it to either burn or the cable to break easily (looking at it)

Did anyone had any previous experience with Pwr+ products ?

I just ordered mine so I'll let you guys know what I think. I'm *hoping* it's thin enough to work with the ProClip car mount.

I like the slim case but it seems kinda pricey. I don't want too much extra dept to the phone once I get it so I might go with this case.

If you do the Rearth slim case let us know what you think of it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Aerials:
Looks nice...but I agree that it's rather pricey. I still prefer to only spend between $5-10 for a case especially with the bonus that a screen protector is included with it.

At this point, I'll most likely still settle for a TPU case.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] firemedic1343:
I'd pay that much for a rugged case like a Cyclops, Defender or Ballistic. But for a slim case...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] foxehkins:
You should probably mention that Google is releasing a fix so that you don't cause unnecessary fear in the community.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] miasma:
Google has a fix, but it is up to the banks to decide if it will be released. We are hoping the publicity will cause the banks to make the right decision.

Right now, there is a possibility that the fix will never be released.

Please see the blog article for tips on how you can lower your exposure profile.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dmmarck:
Can you please clarify: why is it up to the banks? Is this not Google's application?

Regardless, I can't see why banks would not want to fix this. And really, it's just Citi/Mastercard, right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] miasma:
Google believes that the change required may constitute a "change of agency" regarding who does the PIN verification (if it is done inside the secure element). If the banks then become responsible for the PIN verification, the PIN becomes subject to the same regulations and procedures as an ATM PIN. The banks may choose to accept the risk as is rather than take on the increased cost and overhead associated with the change. Please spread the word so that we might be able to leverage them to make the correct decision.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dmmarck:
Legally speaking, that makes perfect sense.

Thanks for the clarification, and I will spread it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] McDeadagain:
Thank you to the OP.

I found your article, thorough, well written, and serious without being alarmist.

I'll follow the limited steps I can take right now.

Just thinking of my phone in terms of my wallet - if I do lose it and want to prevent someone accessing anything on my phone, is there something I can do? Does Google offer a remote wipe?

I guess I can look this up on my own was just wondering how people handle it. I figure even with the pin vulnerability, the phone is still more secure than the credit cards in my wallet. I've had the numbers on those stolen without them ever leaving my possession. In fact they got my pin too - must've had a spotter at an atm or used one of the swipe readers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] miasma:
If you use google apps, there is a native remote wipe feature with that. Otherwise, apps like lookout are good options.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] McDeadagain:
Thanks - I'll look into the native app, I didn't know Google offered something.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lukegb:
Quick response to your bit about the CPLC:

The CPLC is checked by the Wallet start-up system and is retrieved from the SE and compared to the value stored in the Wallet database. If, at launch, this value doesn't match up, then an exception is thrown.

It doesn't appear to be parsed anywhere within Wallet itself, so the actual SE applet would need analysis.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krichek:
"There are competing priorities regarding security in any NFC payment system. First of all, it must work even when there is no data network available. Imagine being unable to use a credit card, because service is not available in the store where the purchase is being made."

That is a direct quote from one of the linked articles and I have a question. Is there anyplace where this is stated as a mandatory part of the system?

I ask because I have been working with the Wallet folks on a bug I discovered and I have been told on several occasions by several different people there that the phone must have connectivity at the time of payment for the transaction to process. Which is what has been my experience as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lukegb:
I am pretty certain it doesn't - I used Wallet today in a location with no mobile connectivity and the transaction went through fine, but the transaction details did not appear in the app itself until it had refreshed its data from First Data later on. Until that time, it displayed the merchant as 'PayPass Merchant' and the amount as 'Sent'.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krichek:
Were you using the google prepaid card or a citibank card? Also, was it you that had no connectivity or the merchant?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] case0:
I think it's extremely irresponsible of you to release this to the public.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
Agreed.

I am reporting this thread as malicious and I hope others will do the same. It's one thing to point out the flaw, it's a completely different thing to release the apk to the public.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] McDeadagain:
So you would rather not know that an app you may use has a vulnerability?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
That's not what the thread offers, it offers the apk for people to steal from others. I would thank him for pointing out the flaw. However, he is providing an extremely malicious app to the public, he needs to be perma-banned for providing a way to STEAL from others imo.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] virtualcertainty:
Seconded. There are ways to be a responsible citizen and deal with this through proper channels, even publically, without releasing code that can be used to commit fraud.

OP, I hope you do well cashing in on the publicity, and I hope it doesn't cost some poor kid a pay cheque.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xHausx:
A major step in outing a vulnerability is to create a proof of concept to show it can be compromised. Sure someone could take advantage of it, but if it was really intended to be used maliciously I can promise you that you never would have found out about it like this. It's considered a courtesy to let the company know prior to a vulnerability being outed but sometimes it's needed to motivate them to fix it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krichek:
To use this app you would already have to be stealing from others. It requires you to have physical control of someone's phone.

I personally think this is the perfect time to release something like this, lets face it at the moment the majority of the phones that can even use wallet are owned by people who are more likely to have a pin or some other form of access control to unlock their phones. I'd bet they are also more likely to have remote wiping setup in the event they lose, misplace or have their phone stolen.

So I say, get the media's attention now, make it the next thing that has to be fixed and get it all sorted out while the real losses are minimal at best.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
That's BS and you know it. A video would have been plenty proof enough. Sending the app to Google would have been sufficient. But releasing the app on a public forum? This is called STEALING. Isn't warez banned because its essentially stealing!? This is worse! I'm completely disgusted by this.:mad:

Exactly, a thief is a thief with or without the tools to break into someone's Google Wallet, they're going to steal your phone regardless.. Now it's much easier to continue stealing from the person. This app and in turn this thread are enabling criminal activity. I will not post again on this topic I have said my peace, I will however ask once more that anybody who agrees should push the "exclamation triangle" in the top right corner of the OP to report this thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonathan3579:
The proper procedure is not to show all how to crack the app and then give them the tools to do so. Instead, it should've been quietly reported to Google. Google could have issued a statement all on their own... I'm all for reporting this thread as well.

Edit: Reported. Next time you find a vulnerability within an app, report it in a safe and secure manner without putting people at risk in any way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] miasma:
I saw the stack trace from the built in error reporting. I have just updated the apk, so it will no longer crash, but it doesn't look like any useful data can be gathered from Google Wallet on that device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] miasma:
I understand why you would think this. We reached an impasse with Google and presently the banks are still deciding if this issue will be fixed at all or left as is.

Google knew that we were making the announcement and was not opposed.

Google already has a fix for the issue but is being prevented from releasing it.

We felt that by leveraging the power of the internet, we could help influence the decision of the banks so that this issue is resolved properly and not pushed under the rug.

Please make your opinion known to google and hopefully the fix will be released shortly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I honestly don't see how this is a surprise to anyone. A 4-digit PIN only has 10,000 and any modern Android device has enough CPU power to brute-force that.

I much rather have that salted hash stored on my device than in some server at Google or CITI bank. Based on my knowledge, I don't trust other companies to secure things better than me. The BEST solution IMO would be for Google to add additional lock options, such as pattern lock and password lock, for the Google Wallet app. Additionally, people should be able to unlink their credit card from Google Wallet using a website in the event their phone is stolen. There is always a balance between security and accessibility.

IF someone stole my device, they would first have to survive stealing it, then unlock my phone, then install that app, then log into my Google Wallet, then buy something before I remote wipe the phone. It is easier to go down to the city and get a copy of someone's driver's license picture and number to use on fake checks. MEH...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonathan3579:
And what if the banks do not hasten their decision? This is not exactly something to take lightly. Don't you agree? I can see your end now but none of this means the banks will fix anything. I have to be real about such a reality.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] miasma:
Thank you for the support. The app was written not to facilitate any malicious activity, rather to reinforce the seriousness of the issue. If you follow the steps outlined in the article, your chance of being affected negatively by this issue is extraordinarily low. We are extremely hopeful that, with outrage like that expressed in this thread, the issue will be resolved very quickly.

If you are unfamiliar with security practices, like responsible disclosure and the fact that exploit code often accompanies public disclosure, I would also refer you to projects like http://www.metasploit.com/ which is a tool that will give you nightmares.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] android01:
4 digit pins are so 1986. I'm glad you posted this. Banks need to spend more of my money on services not executive bonuses.

Good on ya for posting this bud. This is exactly how carrieriq got solved. Let the whiners whine, its what they do best.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Valynor:
Security by obscurity does not work.

It was the correct thing to do to release this to the public after the "other ways" lead to no effect. If you want to blame someone, put the blame on those who are not allowing the proper thing (i.e. the bug being fixed) to happen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] miasma:
If the banks choose to leave the situation as is, then it is improper not to disclose the issue. Give people a chance to protect themselves before they fall victim.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonathan3579:
Again, I see both sides of the fence here but this doesn't guarantee the banks will heed to such a thing being disclosed. If Google cannot release a fix without the banks issuing a fix then that puts us uncomfortably in the middle.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] miasma:
You are now only "in the middle" if you choose to continue using Google Wallet and don't follow the protection advice.

You are now informed and have options, you are in a better position than if someone with ill intent discovered the vulnerability and chose to exploit it before it became public knowledge.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
The main problem here is if someone can decompile your code they can include it in an otherwise benign app and phone the pin home. I suppose you still may need physical access to the phone to do any further harm than that. If the fault lies in some other framework and not the wallet app itself there could be other ramifications. It's rather irresponsible to release the code into the wild.

Edit: just realized your github is there. Sigh.. missed that the first time I saw the links. Comon man..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] miasma:
To a developer, explaining how an exploit can occur is no different than giving him code to do it.

So we were faced with a choice, be secretive about the exploit and risk people not taking it seriously, or be detailed and come what may. Our choice is obvious.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] case0:
There's a difference between disclosing the issue, and letting people know that Google acknowledge it and that the ball is in the banks' court; and releasing a malicious app - which is completely unnecessary given that a video, and Google's own acknowledgement would suffice.

I hope you enjoy your 15 minutes of fame, and that no-one loses out because of this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonathan3579:
As mentioned previously, your video would have sufficed much like what was done with the whole Carrier IQ debacle. My biggest issue is that you have supplied the necessary tools to almost condone the stealing due to a vulnerability (that may or may not be fixed in the immediate future) and some of us enjoy using Google Wallet be it gimmick or something actually useful. Can you not understand the serious effects that this thread can have if it isn't patched in a timely manner? I feel as though being told to avoid Google Wallet is not a satisfactory rebuttal. This really is irresponsible...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] miasma:
In the security community, exploit code is a necessity. I understand your concern, but feel it is misplaced. In order to use the app to take advantage of someone's data illegally, a device would have to be acquired (illegally). It would have to be accessed (illegally) possibly breaking the physical security of the phone's lock screen (illegally). The phone would have to be rooted (illegally) and the app would have to be installed. The pre-requisite steps for this attack to succeed are all illegal. The app is a tool, tool's aren't illegal, but the manner in which they are used may be.

Is this a significant threat to users? Potentially. But if you read the post, there are ways to protect yourself beyond just removing wallet. Even still, Wallet is a good app with a good team and company behind it and even if it is not patched *is still more secure than a physical credit card*.

The fact that the app is available is one more factor that I believe will help this reach a successful conclusion that it might not otherwise have.

I guarantee that there are known, disclosed, unpatched vulnerabilities in software you use every day. I am sorry that your first exposure to this is so shocking.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xHausx:
If you guys don't want to find out just how insecure your data really is you probably shouldn't be using any apps that require root and spending time on a forum dedicated to hacking phones. If you haven't noticed finding security weaknesses like this is what we do here.

If you don't like it then leave.

Edit: Do NOT report this thread anymore. We are well aware of it and repeatedly reporting it is abusing the report system.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
This is far from the first. I have to say it is in the very very few where I have seen a white hat release the exploit code though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Valynor:
In fact, if you require any kind of real security for whatever you do you should and can not use a standard smartphone at all.

GSM is inherently insecure and there are finished exploits and backdoors out there to completely access any data you transfer over your device. Same goes for all smartphone OSes.
