[HTC One V] phobos512:
Just thought I would put this out there in case anyone was unsure due to the tri-band nature of the V. The V I bought for my girlfriend arrived today from Expansys and with her existing SIM card picked up AT&T HSPA+ data no problem (as you know the V lacks WCDMA 1900).

I will say though that this is in Southern California and I can't speak for elsewhere in the US.
[HTC One V] Dark lord me:
Well as some of the major Canadian carriers are carrying the V and thay are compatible with AT&t... :rolleyes:
[HTC One V] phobos512:
Yes but the V does not have quad band UMTS/WCDMA like many other higher end devices (HTC One X for example) so I wasn't sure if the high speed data would work. Hence my post.

Of course standard calling, texting and EDGE data would work. Pretty hard to find a GSM device that doesn't have those features these days.

Okay so i lost my SGS2 and this new one i have i cant take a screen shoot cause it will turn off on me. When i press the power button. Nor it has a lock screen like my other one had. I only have the pattern and pin thats it. B4 i was able to slip the background not anymore.

Where can i fix these settings ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] joeyrey:
Wut?

Try settings>display>screen display
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] G1_enthusiast:

Dito

OP: If you know your English is bad (assuming English is not your native tongue) then you should at least become familiar with Google Translate
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] flipq88:
Turn off the phone, go into recovery by pressing and holdimg the power and both volume rockers, then do a factory reset. That should fix your problem
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Colombia81er:
All i want is a Lock Screen but not a pattern nor a pin. On my old SGS2 i just would pick a pic for the Lock Screen Wallpaper and all i had to do was slide the picture and it would unlock it. I cant seem to find the settings at all. And before my old phone i would press my power button it will ask to turn off airplane mode this one just will turn it off if I even press the power button. It was not rooted my old phone

I was typing the above on my phone. Sorry

It has the option to but it wont work at all

I don't want to reset my phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iLeopard:
Well then you will have learn to cope with your issue. Resetting or re-flashing is about the only thing you can do to fix the problem. It was probably due to a bad flash.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Colombia81er:
But i never have flashed is STOCK that's my issue. Is not rooted nothing completely stock
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iLeopard:
OK I see. Umm you could try fixing permissions via cwm. Do you have any other lock screen applications or have you had?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Colombia81er:
Nope never a lock screen app at all. On neither i guess i might just root this ***** lol cause is getting on my nerves and look for a better rom cause this stock rom sucks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] flipq88:
Like I said the only solution I can think of is doing a reset. When I received my 2nd SGS2 thru the warranty it had this same issue. It had no lockscreen and no power menu. When I press and hold the power button it would just turn off the phone. The factory reset was the only thing that fixed it.

But i mine is not rooted so how can i access it ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Heff66:
To perform a hard reset using the hardware keys, follow these steps:

1) Back up all necessary data that is on the internal memory.

2) Turn off the device.

3) Press and hold both Volume Up and Volume Down keys at the same time.

4) Press the Power key only until the phone vibrates once, then release only the Power key.

5) Continue to hold the Volume up and Volume Down keys until the Android System Recovery screen appears.

6) Press the Volume Down key to highlight Wipe Factory Data.

7) Press the Home key to select.

8) Press the Volume Down key to highlight Yes - Delete all user data.

9) Press the Home key to select.

10) Press the Home key to reboot.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] junkiee24:
anyone know much about the sercurity on the phone?

recently i read about this new free security app called on NQ mobile.

http://www.redmondpie.com/nq-mobile...st-solution-against-malware-viruses-and-more/

i installed it and noticed that it really drains the battery (seems like if toggles apps that aren't even opened into its memory). so it got me thinking .. is it really worth it to install apps like these for anti-virus's, maleware, etc.. ?

did a search and it seems the top three as of March 20th are:

Kaspersky Mobile Security (not free)

Lookout Security & Antivirus (free)

F-Secure Mobile Security (more for parental control)

not too sure where NQ would fit into the picture since the article came out on april 11th.

anyhow anyone with any idea such programs on the android is worth the draw back on power consumption and security risk please comment!

thanks.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wapena92:
IMO I don't think there is an antivirus app out there that would serve its purpose... It's more common sense... There's a good reason why when you try to download non market apps that you have to read that little disclaimer and check the box to allow them to install... Know what the apps do, if it doesn't need a permission or if you dont think it needs a permission then don't install it...

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
Very good advice. Also, keep really sensetive stuff to a minimum. If you can bank on your computer, do it.

I just flash another ROM every couple of days and get my apps from the market. Lol
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] junkiee24:
i hear ya both..

so basically in, layman's terms, these so called "security" apps dont do squat?

and you should just keep personal and secured stuff off these devices and perhaps use a laptop to access key information (like banking and emails)?

I am not sure what you mean when you refer to some apps as non-market apps. think all the security apps i mentioned are available through the android market (aka Play Store).
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
Not the security apps. By non-market apps we mean any apk's installed that you get any place but the play store.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] junkiee24:
thanked you both. .

i see.. guess i am not keen on where else you can get apk files other than the market place (play store) .

so bottom line is no need install these "security apps" cause they dont do anything?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] invasion2:
No, they do behind the scene stuff. Lookout scans ALL your apps, just to check for anything malicious. Lookout has some kind of backup, but I never use it. When I bought my myTouch, my T-Mobile rep installed about 5 must have apps on my phone, and Lookout was #1 on his list. I've been using it on every ROM I've had. Hope this helps!

EDIT: You can get apks from the internet. Specifically pirated apps. People do not want to pay for the app, so they download it online. But people could have modified that apk and but a virus or who knows what in that apk. So it's best to keep an anti virus app. Lookout scans a new app each time I install/update it.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] junkiee24:
Cool.. so now the questions is which security app is better.. Lookout or this NQ one.. ill go ahead and try lookout and see how much battery drain i get.

i dont download any apks outside of the market. but i hear there were a few places that had pirated apks but i guess i never trusted them (blackmarket). its not like Cydia for the iOS, where the apps are safely cracked.. atleast i think they are. so with a security app i guess it would alert you if the apk is corrupt - nice.

Thanks again.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] invasion2:
I don't get any battery drain with Lookout. Hope you experience the same thing mate.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
I used lookout for a little while, but then I realized that I only need it if I'm careless, which I'm not.

Has anyone ever had, or known anyone who got a virus or anything on a smartphone? Personally I haven't. Therefore I don't use any type of protection, which I probably should.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
No, I don't know anyone who ever got malicious SW or any type of virus on Android. For the same reason I never heard of anyone getting a virus on Linux. And for the same reason, I don't have any apps that are made to protect me from things that aren't a threat.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wapena92:
Right best option to do so...

The reason why they don't much is because there not meant for this kind of system... Android unique system is a little well very complex to make a antivirus app or that would find malware... There are so many ways around it...

It's amazing... There's an article I read that explained this...

I'm gonna see if I can find it and post the link

Well you should look around the web... You'll be surprised want you'll find... The threat on smartphones is very high... It's pretty scary...

If I find any of those articles ill post a link...

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
It all boils down to not downloading crappy, unknown apps, and if downloading - checking their permissions. Trojans hit people who don't understand anything and don't have control over their apps (not that there aren't enough of those). Other threats are virtually non-existent.

It's how I found everything I needed to determine if I wanted to root my phone. Once you've done that and you have questions, then ask. There are risks and rewards to doing it. Hope that gives you a starting point.
[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
Its not about being nice or not being nice. It is about understanding what you are doing. This is a DEVELOPMENT site. Not a SUPPORT site.Without understanding of what your doing when something goes wrong you come back here and complain because you dnt understand what your doing. Rooting Voids your warrenty and unless you have the time to invest in what you are doing then I would not do it. Rooting is not for everyone.

im excited he has a rezound coming. but what is the difference between aosp and aokp? i assume the ril will still be a challenge.
[HTC Rezound] BreatheALittle:
AOSP = Android Open Source Project, and AOKP = Android Open Kang Project.

I'm pretty sure Kang refers to the process of developers sharing work, grabbing bits and pieces from other shared work to create something (sharing in the sense of, "Here's all my work and how I did it..."), whereas open source refers to the fact that many individuals can create roms, etc but those are usually kept individual and the work not put out to share. However I'll let someone more knowledgeable than myself provide a more detailed description. :)
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
AOSP is actually built from full source, basically the way Android was meant to be. The Google experience devices have AOSP stock ROMs, where our stock ROM is based on HTC's fork that adds Sense components.

Sense sucks. 'Nuff said.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:

Sense 3.0-3.6 were the worst sense 4 is aight and will suffice until aokp hits
