When I went to sprint today to buy a new case for my phone the guy told me I should def. have an anti-virus app installed on my phone. This doesnt really make much sense to me. I understand that apple phones have virtually no chance at getting viruses because of the way their OS's are set up, but isn't andriod very simliar in security? To me this sounds like a way to make some money off anti-virus apps. I have NEVER heard of anyone I know getting a virus on their smart phone. Has anyone experienced this? Should i have an anti-virus app?

Even if it is possible, I can always do a clean ODIN back to stock....however....is there a chance it could implement itself permanently into my phones memory?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
The virus for our phones are completely different as opposed to the ones we receive on pcs..however there are similarities in their ability to attain information. Our viruses are more for info obtaining...and usually android has patches for such..however just like on a pc if your doing something completely legit you won't need an antivirus...same goes for our phones. However some apps on the market such as "music downloaders" can be adware/malware. They usually only gain your email. I'm sure someone else with more intelligence on the matter will help explain more :).

Really to me AV is bloatware especially on a phone....

Anti Virus apps are a waste of space and memory on a phone.... if your worried about a smart phone virus download one of the many free Anti Virus apps and run it (chances are it'll find nothing) and then delete the app. Do that once a month or so.

i do not run an antivirus on my desktop pc. i dont download anything that i dont trust to my pc. have not had a virus in at least 10 years. no antivirus on phone either. if i do need to download something i am unsure of i download to phone and transfer to pc after i look through files. anything that is important i have backed up so if anything funny happens i can format sd card and restore phone in 5 min unlike hours for pc. not saying this is for everybody but if you use common sense when downloading you can avoid viruses.

2. Mac is Unix based and doesn't have many viruses. My Mac is unprotected

4. I do use avast on windows PCs.

Linux can not get 99% of viruses. Leave it alone. Don't grant random apps root access and you will be fine. Antivirus apps are scams.

I think the OP was asking does he NEED Anti-Virus not is a Virus possible. We all know it is possible but someone who is rooted with SU and downloads reputable apps has almost no chance of getting of getting a virus today. So the answer to the OP's question is; No you do not need an Anti-virus unless you download apps from unsure developers.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shinydude100:
You're ok

You don't need Anti-Virus on your Android. If you ask me, on mobile; it's more for paranoid people, regardless, it's good anti-virus companies get involved in making an app anyway. Is a Virus or Malware possible? Hell Yes. Doesn't have to be complex either. Though a complex one would only mean too much work for the creator of the malicious activity, thus ruining the fun of ruining others.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RealTic:
I'm not too worried about a virus. As long as it can be removed by doing a clean restore through odin. This would always solve the issue right? I have no information to steal because i dont store any credit cards or have any bank account apps on my phone, i dont trust that kind of sh**.

Now what about music download apps? These would probably pose a higher risk compared to other apps available on the market correct?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exitpr0gram:
Its Settled!!!!

Based upon what i know about Android systems, which is basically Linux... Programs, or apps, do not have direct access to the kernal, which is where it could cause real damage. Where as windows allows access immediatley.

So. Since an installed app cannot run rampant on your Android device we DO have less to worry about.

Exploits (which are what viruses are based off of and wouldn't be possible without) are present in d@mn near everything.

If you plug your phone in to your PC and you have a Linux virus lying dormant that will effect your Android system, it probably wont get far because of how Android simply WORKS. But there could still be exploits depending on what services are running on your computer and all that stuff....

Also, I hear that in someway, QR Codes are malicious. Anyone know anything about that?

Personally, if your paranoid. Download an antivirus. I have Avast because it has a built in firewall which allows you to restrict internet access to ANY application.

And really,

all these comments about "It uses unnecessary system resources" or "It slows your phone down" that is complete BS unless you have an older model phone.

Better SAFE than SORRY.

We are in the Epic4G Touch section.This phone can handle an antivirus running in the background. Especially with the tweaks and whatnot that come with the ROMs we install.

If you DON'T have space or enough system resources (RAM, Processing Power, Etc) i suggest you find a lighter program such as DroidWall FREE on the market.

How i currently have my E4GT setup is i restrict ANYTHING that should be sending/receiving data. Now if i notice problems, i will troubleshoot and find out which ones i must allow access to.

This is the best explanation on the forum, i believe so far. The rest just like to argue and somehow prove they're smarter or better than you.

I did a Google search "has anyone ever gotten virus on an android device" and ended up here.

I have never heard of anyone.

Antivirus apps are more likely to be malicious, I'm worried about what permissions they have and what info they collect.

Btw WTF is a epic 4g?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HACKhalo2:
It is not impossible to get a virus or malicious program on an android phone, but 99% of them can be prevented by this one trick:

COMMON SENSE

If it's too good to be true? Don't trust it.

Are the reviews shady and all sound the same? Don't trust it.

Does something or someone want you to sideload an application to "fix" something, and they fall into the first two categories? Don't trust it.

The best way to prevent infecting yourself is to research whatever you are doing. Research everything. There is no such thing as "too much information" when it comes to your safety and your devices safety.

Also, keep everything up to date (as far as you feel like necessary for the stability of your device). The newer Kernels in newer Android devices fix issues found in older kernels (like privilege escalation attacks, or memory corruption attacks, like a buffer overflow). If your ROM has a permissions manager, use it. Limit what your apps can do,

ESPECIALLY

if you have root. Once a malicious application has root, it can wreck and control everything and anything.

As for running an antivirus on your phone? If your smart about what you do, you don't need one, BUT I recommend one to be on the safe side, since Android is a large target for scammers to hit, much like Windows is. You don't need anything fancy (I personally use Lookout), just something to check against known malware signatures and such.

Hopefully this helped. I've been using Linux as my main OS for 6 years now and Android for 3, and following this advice (keeping everything as up to date as possible within the Distro's package management system, trust nothing that sounds to good to be true, and research everything), I've never had an issue with something trying to take over my devices.

Let me try to add some optimism to the threads. The last time I had issues in San Antonio, it was followed up by the network extending farther outside the city limits more than 20 miles that I am aware of, maybe more.

[HTC Rezound] txkorm:
I'd try and get a new phone. I'm sure I'm dropping a signal here and there but in not noticing it maybe. My TBolt was so bad at doing that that I never even bothered using 4G. Now I use it 95% of the time. I'll probably use it 100% of the time now since I think my phone died in CDMA, I got stuck in a bootloop.

KORM via the beast known as the Rezound.
[HTC Rezound] 4ktvs:
Yea right, They likely want me to reset the phone 100 times and then say what data droping like the first guy did. Well I recorded both of them and uploading to youtube now jar heads.

If I did try the new phone thing how should I go about geting it out of them.

thanks

Update: 80% done
[HTC Rezound] txkorm:
It's hit or miss with who you'll get on the phone. I'd just be honest and say that your phone has continued to drop signals where other Verizon customers are not. I'd tell them I've done multiple factory resets and it doesn't help. Doesn't hurt to try at least since I've seen people post in other threads that they got replacements for the same reason. Start with Honey and if that doesn't work, follow it up with some. HELL!

Good luck.

I will be calling soon to see what can be done.

Thanks for the luck. :D I will need it

Edit: Last night I my speed's were 500kbs DL and 1.5Mbs up. They are now 17 DL and 10UP, so now I wish I had called them at 3am but oh well. 4G is not un-useable, but it fail's so much that if I am downloading someing that 50% it drops before it's done and then I have to start all over or doing a live stream to my tv failing. most of the time web pages work, but it feal's bad when it drops for that 30-60sec or more and my s2 can hold it down and load the page. I have likely made about 1/2 of every one I have have showed 2nd guess verizon, becuase of this.

Update: I called and I did not have to reset the phone. He said to call back if it happens any more. If I have to call a 3rd time part two will likely play a part. He saw my 45Gb of use and said it was a lot and that the phone needs a brake. Now I use my S2 more than my RAZR, but it had not needed a brake to not drop data.

If anyone wants a cheap testing device there's a seller on eBay who's been selling Fires with cracked digitizers(touch still works on most) and they've been going for between $45-$70. (I got mine for $60) The badly cracked ones go for cheaper obviously.
